DAN COUGHLIN NOT GUILTY.
The Famous CrOnin Conspiracy Case
Against Him Ends in Acquittal.

Against Him Ends In ACqutttal.
Dan Coughlin, the big ex-detective
of the Chicago police force, who was
tried once and convicted of being one
of the conspirators who murdered DIR.
2. n. Cronin, May 4, 1889, and SEN
fenced to prison for life, has been much
more fortunate in his new trial just
ended. The case had been on continu-
ally for five weeks, and when all the
evidence was in and the morning for
the Judges charge TO the jury came the
court room was crowded. The court
in part said: 1.-The jury is instructed
that it is not claimed by the state that
there is evidence tending to SHOW that
the defendant, Daniel Coughlin,
directly took the life of DIR. Cronin. 1t
is claimed that conspiracy to kill
Cronin existed and that this defendant
and the other defendants and other
persons designated in the indictment
as unknown" were parties to such
conspiracy, actually accomplished on
the night of May 4, 1889. The court
further instructs you that if thee vi
dence in this case fails to show any
motive, or sufficient motive on the
part of the defendant to commit the
crime, then this is a circumstance in
favor of his innocence which the jury
! ought TO consider in connection with
all the other evidence in arriving at a
verdict
1t was 4:3O in the afternoon when
the jury returned. After the prelimin-
aries the clerk read the verdict:
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant,
Daniel Coughlin, not guilty" Then
there was great demonstration of
Coughlin's friends. His faithful wife,
his little boy and girl and his father,
pushed their way to the big fellow
and the reunion of the family was very
affecting. A few minutes later Cough
lin left the court room once more to
breathe free air.

ROAST FROM RosEsERY.
The New Premier of England Attacks
the House of Lords.


London cable: At great meeting
of Liberals the new prime minister,
Lord Rosebery, presided, and made
the principal address. He alluded with
considerable feeling to the retirement
of Mr.. Gladstone, saying that they
"would greatly miss that sublime and
pathetic figure, which enriched and
| enobled not merely the treasury bench
but the house itself.
Continuing, Lord Rosebery said: at
was thought that in the high Office to
which / have been called there should
be declaration of policy. This is not
necessary, as we stand where we did.
| Cheers The same measures remain
as they are, the program of the Liberal
party and il is not intended TO recede
from any one of them. The Welsh
church question will be pressed 20
definite and successful conclusion. In
regard 10 the Irish question, we are
bound to it by ties of honor and affec-
ton. The policy of home RUE viii not
be less definitely pursued.
''The conviction has long been fore
ing itself upon me that with the demo-
cratic suffrage which we now enjoy. a
second chamber, constituted like the
house of lords, is an anomaly. This
conviction has been strengthened by
the unhappy chapter of accidents
which has turned the house of lords
from body of hereditary law-givers
more or less equally divided, into one
great Tory organization entirely ut the
beck and call of a single party leader.
(Cheers) When the Tories were in
Office the power of veto was not exer-
cised, but when the Liberals are in
power, the veto is exercised at the
dictates of the Tory leader. That is
danger to the constitution to which
the Liberal government is not blind,
and they win not lose sight of any
measure which is constitutionally pre-
! scented to this country, in this great
anomaly peril to which it is exposed.
! (Cheers.)
IL will not go so far as some of my
friends. l do not think that the peers
should be treated as pariahs. L
do not think that the fact that man
was born in n particular position
should debar him from the higher OPP
portunities of serving the think
state. l am not one of those who
that the peerage should be con-
sidered a stigma and a bar. But,
while / remain premier, you may be
assured that no liberal in the ranks
will endeavor more steadfastly TO do
his duty to the party" loud cheer
| ing.)
Sir William Vernon Uarcourt, chan
cellor of the exchequer, followed. He
said that the enemy hattered them
selves that the liberal party was going
! to drop home rule. But the language
of the premier and the presence of the
1t. Hon. John Morley, as chief secre-
| tary for Ireland, was the best answer
| they could give To this supposition.

REBELS ARE WHIPPED.
BRAZILIAN REVOLUTION is
PRACTICALLY AT AN END.
Admiral Dc CANA Seeks an Asylum on
Board n Portuguese Man-of- War-Wm
Surrender If Granted Immunity.

Washington special: Advices re-
ceived at the state department from
Minister Thompson at Rio de Janeiro
indicates that the Brazilian rebellion
is about ended. The dispatches con-
tain the information that Admiral Da
CANA has gone aboard the Portuguese
war vessel Mindelo now in the harbor
at Rio, and has sent to President
PeiXoto by the Portuguese officer an
offer of surrender on condition of full
protection for himself and his follow
ers Secretary Gresham believes that
this marks the end OF the Brazilian
war. Two dispatches were received.
They were in cipher and when trans
lated read as follows:
RIO DE JANEIRo, March IL 1894.
Gresham: Da CANA today, through the
senior Portuguese naval commander, offered
TO surrender TO the president of Brazil pro-
Vided he and his followers were guaranteed
THOMPSON.
RIO DE JANEIRo, March L. 1894.
Gresham: Da CANA has gone aboard a
Portuguese man-o.-war for asylum.
THOMPSON.
Notice of the intention OF the Brazil
ian fleet to begin an active attack on
the insurgent fee5 had been given to
neutral forces in the harbor. This no.
tice was given As hours before
the firing was TO begin. Da
Canals offer of surrender was
given "a hours before an attack was to
be expected. The offer of surrender,
in fact. followed the first actual show
of determined force on the part of the
brazilian government.
LATER.-Another dispatch was re-
ceived by Secretary Gresham from
Minister Thompson containing the adj
ditional information that Da CANA
asks only that he and his officers be
allowed to leave the country and the
lives of his private soldiers and sailors
be spared. 1t is regarded by promi-
nent officials as without question that
the Brazilians will accept the sur
render with the terms asked for by Da
Cana.

summoned from Clare and Harrison.
DO tn sent their fire departments, but
nothing could be done except to hold
back the flames from the company's

forty acres of lumber piles were
burned, not a board being left. Three
dwellings owned by the company were
also burned. 1t is doubtful if the mills
will be rebuilt. If so, it will be on a
much smaller scale.

sary IL dealers stocks are TO be replenished,
and those who cannot make calculations be-
yond a few months are the more anxious to
crowd much trade they safely can in
those months. In some branches OF distribu-
ton. however, there are indications OF di-
minishing demand for goods, and the evident
preference for medium and low-priced arti-
cles with the known reduction in wages and
family expenditures lead many to feel some
what less confident that business will soon re-
cover its former volume. Undertakings
reaching beyond short time are not made
will greater freedom. and in spite OF larger
present demand prices OF manufactured goods
lend downward. The most distinct gain is in
iron and steel manufacture. In textile manu-
features and dry goods there are increased
activity and replenishment of stocks, as is
natural at this seas On But the demand thus
far falls much short of expectations. and its
character indicates great economy in con-
sumption. The volume of domestic trade
shown by clearings decreases for the past week
39.4 per cent here, compared with last year. In
foreign trade changes are also for the better,
exports having been large. and for four weeks
IL per cent larger than last year, while the de-
crease In imports for February was 81 per
cent. Failures are growing less important
and somewhat fewer also. The number OF
failures during the past week has been 24S in
the United States. against 1873 last year, and
60 In Canada, against 81 last year.

its kind in the state, having all the
most improved machinery, and being
lighted by it's own electric light plant.

There was such a strong wind that the
firemen were unable to do anything
but save adjoining buildings. At one
time the village seemed doomed, but
through the active work of the fire de-
partment no other buildings caught
fire. The loss is SIS, 900, partially in
sured. Mr.. Althouse will probably re-

BRITISHERS IN NICARAGUA.

Looks Like They Were Trying to Secure
"A Foothold About Nicaraguan Canal.
Washington special: The depart
ment of state has received the first
official information of the operations
of the British naval forces at Bluefields,
near the mouth of the Nicaragua
canal. 1t was dispatch from United
States Minister Baker at Managua.
lie says that the United States consul
at San Juan del Norte, Mr.. Bra da,
telegraphs him that soldiers from the
British warship Cleopatra had been
landed at Bluefelds, and strongly
urges that United States naval vessel
be sent there at once.
There is no explanation in the min
ister's dispatch Of the reason for the
landing OF British forces. The pre-
ceding reports of Consul Braida show
that when the Nicaraguan government
forces occupied Bluefelds the reigning
Mosquito chief appealed to the British
consul at San Juan del Norte for pro-
lection and the question of interest at
this stage of affairs is whether the
British troops have been landed to
afford the protection to the Mosquitoes
or whether the Landing was made to
protect British citizens only. Senator
Morgan, of the foreign affairs commit
tre, fears that the English government
is making an effort to obtain a footing
on the eastern coast of the isthmus in
violation of the Claytou-Bulwer treaty.
Senator Morgan is especially jealous
of any movement on the part of a
foreign government which might effect
the Nicaraguan canal, and probably
nothing could happen to give him
greater concern than foreigners to Sc
cure foothold in those regions.

but $50, and never dared go back after

The Indiana a sncce.s.

The new battleship Indiana made
three trips over a distance of 0 65-100
knots. The first, under natural draft,
was accomplished at a speed of IA lilo
knots. The second, under half forced
draft, in trifle less than Is knots, and
the third, under forced draft, at Is
35-100 knots. The guaranteed speed of
the Indiana is Is knots. The engines,
which behaved splendidly, reached a
maximum velocity of 12S revolutions n
minute, the average under forced draft
being 1872, with selected coal. There
seems no doubt that the big battleship
will average 1875 knots an hour w hen
the official trial trip is made.
