to consider in regard to whether they are
telling the truth. Also you can take the
statements of these witnesses and esti-
mate as to their reasonableness. Are
they consistent with the other facts:
Also are the statements Of witnesses cor
roborated?
The record of Underwood's conviction
is offered in evidence and should be con.
sidered in this case. 1t should be re-
membe-ed that man may be convicted
Of violation of law and yet tell tine
truth. 1t is not conclusive against Un-
derwood's truthfulness that be was con-
victed. Of course law breakers are less
liable to tell the truth than law Keepers.
The jury went out at 40 and came

SEIZURE OF THE HORsA.
Her Agents Have Grave Doubts Con-
cerning the Report.

Philadelphia. Nov. 2O.-No add itionai
news was received In tlris city today re-
garding the reported seizure OF the steam
SLIP Horsa, at Kingston, Jamaica, for
carrying sinews OF war to tie Cuban
patriots. Capt. w W. Kerr, counsel for
the j. d. Hart Company, which has The
agency for the steamers Leon, Laurada, and
Horsa, said this morning that he had grave
doubts OF the seizure OF the Horsa.
''The English government" said Capt.
Kerr, would never take such step,
because they would have no right under
their laws to Interfere. No other govern
ment on the face OF the earth would do
what this government Is doing in this
matter. Every United States customs of.
ficer is turned into a spy to watch for
any vessel that might carry aid from this
country to Cuba.
"Our government has gone out OF Its way
to seize vessels without any warrant OF
the law. This is not an absolute monarchy.
We are living under 4 republican govern
ment, which Is regulated by written laws,
and there is nothing in the laws to prevent
us carrying arms and ammunition from
Philadelphia to Cuba.
"Ali we must do is to keep ont of the way
of Spanish gunboats. II we run that risk

WANTS TO BE HOUSE CHAPLAIN.
Rev. II. Couden of Michigan, Il Blind
Man, Is a Candidate.

Man, Is Candidate.
There is q new candidate for the chap
laincy of the Huuse-the Rev II. Couden Of
Port Huron, Mich. He is a blind preacher,
and should he, be elected the American Con-
gress will be unique in all history in the fact
that the chaplains of the Lower and Upper
Houses are both blind.
The Rev. Mr.. Couden is the guest Of
Major Tallsrday Of No. 715 Eighth street
north west, with whom he served with Grant
before Vicksburg and where he was made
blind by q bullet from the other side of the
fight The friends who will support Mr..
Couden are expected from the East and
the West
It will be recalled that The Times pub
lished a few days ago the fact that there
was movement on foot in the d district to
secure the chaplaincy OF the House for a
home ruler" candidate, and that the
Rev. DR.. o. a. Brown had been mentioned
prominently by his friends for the place.
Dr. Brown IS the well-known pastor of
Foundry NJ. E. Church and it Is said, In
fact claimed by his supporters, that he will
stand a good show for election.
Ithas also been stated that Dr.. Easton of
the Eastern Presbyterian Church VIII be
pushed by his adniirers and that altogether
there will be a friendly fight of more than
ordinary interest for this place after the
fashion Of the church militant. It will
certainly be of interest to note what view
Congressman will take of the home rule
agitation.

DAIRY LUNCH CASES.
Judge KImbalFs Decision Believed to
Be in Their Favor.

1t is understood that Judge Kimban
has completed his decision in the cases
brought by the health department against
Ford & Graham, and other dairy lunch
rooms. The purpose OF the prosecution
was to compel the lunch room proprietors
to observe the regulations Of the milk
inspection law passed by the last Con grcss.
THIS provides that grocers, bakers, and
"other persons selling milk shall sell
only milk containing IL per cent. solids,
OF which at least per cent shall be fat
and that SKINNED milk shall be labeled as
such; also providing safeguards against
the spread OF contagious diseases by sale
OF milk.
1t is believed Judge Kimball's opinion
holds that The dairy lunch rooms are not
dealers in milk under the meaning OF the
law, because sales are made to persons
intending to drink the milk at the tables
In the room. ANY other Interpretation
Of the law would render all the hotels
liable to the operation of the law.
on the other hand the health office
holds that the lunch rooms do a considerable
business as sellers of milk to customers
who take their purchases home and that
they, therefore, ought to be made liable
to the law Just as much as the grocer or
baker. If the decision is as expected,
the matter will probably be pushed further
by the health office and, If necessary,
additional legislation may be asked.

CHIcAGo's CONVENTION BID.
Windy City Offers Sixty Thousand
Dollars to I he RennblIcnns

Chicago, Nov. 20.-J. Irving Pearce,
chairman of the committee of business men
who are taking the initial steps TO bring
the national Republican convention to
Chicago, said today that he had canvassed
the business men OF his acquain tance
sufficiently to assure him that between
$4,000 and 100000 could easily be raised
by subscription, and as soon as he received
an answer from Chairman Carter, of the
national committee, to whom he wrote
regarding the conditions which would be
imposed on Chicago If the convention is
to come here Mr. Pearce intends TO OBJ
tain the amounts promised verbally by
the Chicagoans and corporations he has
seen. He thinks that the convention will
cost Chicago not over 100000,
The Coliseum, which collapsed while In
course OF erection, will be finished by May
/, and it is believed by the convention
promoters that when it is known generally
that the building will accommodate 10000
people, the fact will be powerful argu-
ment in favor of having the convention
here.

divorced from his navigation and
thinking propensities. His fool
hardness in deserving the fish
wagon, which was attached to a

vehicle, but to passers-by, who found
it relief to bandage their probos-
cisis until the fish wagon was left a
considerable distance behind. The
police became acquainted with the
circumstances, and in the evening
detached the horse and placed it in a
