Strong Probability of Practically
definite Postponement.

Strong Probability of Practically In
definite Postponement.
CHICAGO, May 2O.-It looks as if the
insanity trial OF Assassin Prendergast
before Judge Chetlain, fixed for Mon
day, will be practically allowed to 90 by
default.
A. s. Trude refuses to appear in the
case in Judge Chetlain's court, and he
says that disposition to follow his ex-
ample exists on the part of the state 8
attorney. Whether Mr.. Kern or any OF
his assistants will appear on the part of
the state or not, the stand that Mr..
Trude takes will undoubtedly have an
all-importsnt influence on the outcome
of the pending trial into Prendergsst's
mental condition.
The trial proper will not begin Mon
day as was planned when Mr.. Trude ap-
peared before Judge Chetlain last Feb
ruary and asked for further
stay on the ground that, owing to
his absence in Florida, ne has been
unable to make adequate search for
authorities to sustain him in his con-
tention that Judge Chetlain had no
jurisdiction in the case.
@. S. Darrow, one OF Prendergast's q
counsel, is engaged on another case, the
Importance of which precludes the
possibility of his looking after the as
sassin's interests for at least ten days.
In view of this, the states attorney
subscribed to an agreement today by
which no objection on his part will be
made to the application that will be
made Monday on the part of the pris-
oner asking for further postponement
| of the examination.
All this means that Prendergsst will
be allowed to sojourn in a comfortable
insane asylum instead Of going to the
gallows.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
FIVE HUNDRED INDICTMENTS
THAT WERE BURNED.
A Crime That Has Remained Hidden for
Fifteen Years-sen sational Story
Told New York Re-
porter.

NEW YORK, May 20.-The story of the
burning OF 500 indictments with the evil
dence on which they were obtained was
narrated to World reporter by Ambrose
III. Purdy, formerly an attache of the
district attorneys office. 1t occurred Is
years ago, but until now the story never
got out. 1t was in the heyday of the
lottery king, Eph Simmons reign.
Time and again the lottery dens were
raided, hundreds of indictments found,
but, strangely enough, few ever
came to trial. The explanation is,
according to Purdy, that Moses Clark,
the district attorneys chief clerk was
receiving $500 week for taking care of
the indictments against lottery men
and inciden ally additional sums for
similar services in behalf of other
offenders. Clark grew rich, had pala
tial residence at Mattswan, NJ, kept
horses by the dozen, and generally
maintained princely style. When he
was taken i'll one day it became known
that he was about to die. Panic seized
his clients who knew that the criminat-
ing papers were locked in q safe at bis
home. Three of them went there, but
CLARK was too far gone to give them the
combination. After he died they sent
for an expert safe breaker and he
opened the iron case. 1t was their in
tentlon to destroy only proofs against
themselves and associates but the papers
were found in great confusion and they
were all thrown into blazing CRATE in
the room. Purdy says Eph Simmons
was one of the three men who did the
work and another OF the trio is dead
The name of the other he may disclose
later. Anthony Comstock gives full
credit to the story and saws the disap-
pearance of the indictments and the re-
cords pertaining to them did not cease
with the death of Clark. Such things
take place even now.

WASHINGTON, Msy 20.-The senate
will begin the seventh week of dis
cussion OF the tariff bill tomorrow at
10 O'Clock by taking up the metal
schedule, and the prospect is now that
the entire week will be devoted to
the tariff, without attem pting any other
business than that which can be done
in the first half hour of the daily ses-
sions, and possibly an occasional brief
executive session after O'Clock for the
disposition of uncontested nominations.
Senator Harris today reaffirmed his
intention of pressing the bill forward as
rapidly as possible, but he said he had
no idea of an attempt to extend the
daily sessions beyond o'clock, 30 long
as the work should go on as satisfac-
torily as it is going at present. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the Republi-
can senators, who have been opposing
the bill and apparently seeking to delay
its passage, had decided to change their
policy and to let the bill proceed upon
its passage after giving the various
items of difference the attention
demanded by their merits, and
instanced the fact noticeable ON Friday
and Saturday, that there had been a
decided cessation of long speech es and
OF roll calls as we'll. This change in the
course of those of the opponents of the
bill who have sought to put obstacles in
the way of its progress, the Democrats
attribute to the fact that their opponents
have discovered that they mean to pass
the bill, and the Republican conferences
of the past week have developed q
divided sentiment in the Republican
party on the question of delay, with, as
they think. a majority opposed to all
dilatory tactics.

WOOL AND THE METALS.

Senator Aldrich expresses the opinion
the woui.- i.---in ha anant ON the metal and
wooden schedules, and he says the dis
cussiop will go ON much as it has dur
ing the past week, that the Republicans
will allow some of the items of the bill to
go unchanged, and they will ask ex-
plantations and give their opinions of
the changes made in others. He says
many paragraphs of the metal schedule
are acceptable to the Republicans, and
that, taking the times and conditions
which now prevail, into consideration,
the rates in come instances vre even
more liberal than those OF the Mckinley
law. He says, however, there is dissat-
isfaction with the miscellaneous items
OF the schedule, and that these will
cause considerable debate. He also
says the lumber question will be dis
Guessed when the wood schedule is
reached. Senator Aldrich thinks it inn
probable the sugar schedule will be
reached during the week, while Senator
Harris considers it possible it may be.
They agree that this schedule will, when
reached, develop a sharp debate.
Senator Hill, who has been absent
since the consideration of the schedule
WAS begun, was expected to be in his
seat ON Monday.

Which has been gathering strength at
csucuees and conferences ever since
congress assembled, promises to be
fought to finish in the house during
the coming week. 1t will bring out a
sharp contest on party as we'll as
economical lines, as the state plank of
the Democratic national platform sd-
vanced the QUESTION to place OF import
ance second only to silver.
The advocates OF state banks have
been restive for weeks to test their
strength. They failed to get bill re-
ported from the banking committee.
Thereupon q caucus was called and q
resolution passed that the issue should
be made before the house on an amend
ment 90 the Brawley bill. This long
deferred bill, with the state bank amend
ment is now to be brought to vote.
The bill is not important in itself and
its main use is in serving as bank bill
to which o .state bank amendment is
germane.
Chairman Springer OF the banking
committee and Representatives Cox,
Cuberson, Swanson and other state
bank advocates expect to begin the con-
test Tuesday or Wednesday on a question
of consideration. The anti-state bank
men are expected to insist the Indian
appropriation bill has equal privileges,
in which case a test vote will decide the
strength of the state bank men. They
are confident of winning on the vote of
consideration, and Mr.. Springer is pre-
pared to open the debate. The main
issue, however, will be on conditional or
unconditional repeal OF the tax. Mr..
Swanson says unconditional repeal can
certainly muster l40 votes and condi-
tional repeal 155 votes.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2l-Wallace, a 5O0-pound
lion on exhibition at dime museum here,
escaped from his keeper this afternoon
and bounded among the crowded audience.
Broncho Boccacio. the lions trainer, was
about to give an exhibition in the big iron
cage. He entered the cage, but an as
sistant. whose duty it was to close the
door, failed in some manner, and the
animal, seeing its chance, gave q mighty
bound through the opening. He COM
pleteiy cleared the stage and landed IN an
aisle fully twenty feet from the cage The
brute gave vent to his feelings when he
struck the floor by sending up q mighty
roar, and then went trotting up the aisle,
swapping and roaring. There was the
widest kind of scramble among the
men, women and children of the audience.
They dashed over the stage and rushed
into the basement, hiding themselves in
bins and boxes and in dressing rooms.
One nam appealingly offered a stage hand
big roll of bills If he would lead him to a
place of safety. Others sought protection
behind the curtains of the boxes Some
came out of the basement through coal
holes in the sidewalk. Wallace was Just
reaching the open exit to the street when
Boccacio overlook him. He gave the
brute slash across the face with
whip, and finally the trainer
succeeded in forcing the lion back
toward the stage. The cage was got
In readiness. and after a struggle with the
brute, he was once more put behind the
bars. Fortunately nobody was injured in
the mad rush for liberty. but the museum
people tonight are possessed of about 300
hats and various other wearing apparel.

day adopted an excellent change in the
method of sewer supervision. 1t was de-
eided that ali construction should be done
under the direction of the city engineer,
who is familiar with the plans and speci-
fcations. This method is not novel. It
is the plan which is usually adopted on
all public works except where efficiency 10
subordinated 10 party exigencies.
The city engineer should be held strictly
accountable for the work, and he cannot
be expected to assume responsibility If
