THE JUDGE REFUSED.

Attorney Bird was in consultation
with Judge Bradford relative to allow
ing Colonel Cooper and Marshal Short
to go to Washington to see Senator
Gray personally. Judge Bradford re-
fused, saying that it was against the
law. Cooper was a prisoner and must
be treated as such. Should Senator
Gray decide that a new trial would be
detrimental to Cooper's interest, it is
most likely that Mr. Bird will not apply
for one. Colonel Cooper will then be
sentenced and it may be tomorrow.

EX-CASHIER STEELE
CALLED TO THE BAR
His Trial on Many Counts Accusing
Him OF Illegal Conduct as
Bank Omctal.

Philadelphia, Dec S-The trial of for
mer Cashier William Steele, of the de-
funct Chestnut Street National Bank, was
commenced before Judge Butler in the
United States District Court this morn
ing. The jury was secured without much
delay. 100
United States District Attorney Beck
addressed the jury and said that the case
was an important one and that he would
ask the jury to give their whole attention
to the evidence, because If guilty it was
important to the government that he
should be convicted and punished, but IL
ne should be innocent. IT was also impor-
tant to the government that he should be
acquitted.
Mr. Beck read the statutes relating to
the offenses described in the indictments
and the law requiring the making of re-
ports to the Comptroller of the Currency
by the cashier of the affairs OF the bank
There are 122 counts in the Indictment
but Mr.. Beck elected to try only forty
five of them-twenty-fv for aiding Mr.
William NJ. Singeriy to misapply the funds
OF the bank, five for personally misapply
ing the funds and fifteen for making false
returns.

CHIcAGo's NEW SCANDAL.
The Mayors Denial of the Doodle
Interview.

Chicago. Dec. S.-Mayor Harrison. 1t is
now understood. denies the interview in
which he was quoted as saying that he
would like to see 10000 citizens gathered
around the city hall when, the street car
franchise extension ordinances came up
for passage, and that he should not be
surprised "to see some hanging in the
streets of Chicago" II Is expected that
one of the liveliest fights ever known will
occur when the question of granting the
street railway companies of Chicago an
extension of their franchises for a period
of fifty years comes up.
The present franchises will all expire in
1901. In the proposed ordinance granting
the fifty year extension, which was pre-
sented to the council Monday night. the
street railroad men offer to pay the city
as compensation in proportion to the
earnings of their roads from one-half
of one per cent. where the earnings are
$500 to $4,000 per mile, and up to per
cent, where the earnings are $4,000 per
mile or more.
The proposition was referred to the
joint committee on streets and alleys,
which has held daily sessions to consider
it. The press of Chicago, with one ex-
ception, has condemned the measure as
a mammoth steal from the people.

Iand-objects to Mr.. Reid.
New York, Dec. S.-Signs are not need
ed to show that Senator Platt will not
oppose the confirmation by the Senate
of Joseph H Cnoate's nomination. If that
gentleman is named, for the office of am
bassador to the Court of st. James
In the face of this disinc ination of the
Senator to obstruct the wishes of the
President rests the fact that Mr.. Choate
is not Mr.. Platts choice for the high
position. In fact. he has urged no one,
but he will use all his influence against
two or three men who are In line for the
appointment. Notably among these is
Mr. Whitelaw Reid. and the feeling is
reciprocal There is a mutual regard in
this respect, for Mr.. Reid does not Ike
Mr.. Platt., The Senator thinks the edi-
tor has already drank to it's full extent
from the political cup of eminence. He
would oppose Mr.. Reid's nomination.
There is pronounced feeling here that
the successor to Mr.. Hay should come
from this State. but there is a cash as
to who that successor shall be. Mr.. Nc
Kinley, 1t is well understood. is some
what annoyed because of the objections
made to gentlemen. every one of whcm
is superlatively competent to represent
this Government in the great Office to be
filled
1t is believed that to quiet the dissen-
sions the President may cut the Cord an
knot by the appointment of Senator Nc
Milan of Michigan.
The consensus of opinion here. how
ever. is that the next ambassador to
England Will be Joseph II. Choate.
