Marshal Collins placed a bundle il

when he was ready to go home, ant
calling Night Chief Henry Bailey
said:
Henry, there's a couple of sticks
Of dynamite that were found today
Be careful and don't get rough with
them, or they might go of. "
"what did you put them in there
for, anyhow" asked Chief Bailey, as
he eyed them askance and uncons)i

see what we can do with them tomor.

The two sticks Of dynamite" were
fully discussed among the night force,
but had almost been forgotten when
about II O'Clock the big weight in
the city clock fell, and as it crashed
into the floor of the tower, made a ire
mendous noise
Chief Bailey, Lieut. Moore and Off
GERS Gourieux and Singery, all of whom
were in the building at the time,
simultaneously thought of the dyna-
mite in the vault in the next room,
and almost before the echoes Of the
crash had died away the fonr officers
were in the street waiting to sec the
city hall topple into ruin from the ex-
plosion.
II was considerably later in Il e
night before their courage sufficiently
returned to permit an investigation of
the trouble.

Upton AND KI. . EDWARD.
Sir Thomas Tells His Majesty He Can
BuiId n s.Cup Litter"

LONDON, Dec. 19.-Sir Thomas Upton,
in a long interview, which he had with
King Edward yesterday, at which the
Americas cup races were infinitely dis
cussed. unfolded his plans for the future.
His Majesty exhibited the keenest interest
n at times offered suggestions. He ex-
pressed the opinion that it would be very
hard to get a boat to beat the Americans,
to which Sir Thomas replied that he was
at least confident he could secure a yacht
much better than Shamrock III. When Sir
Thomas had finished explaining his rea-
sons for this belief, the King appeared to
be satisfied and heartily wished him sue
cess.
Sir Thomas Upton also conveyed to King
Edward a reorganization of President
ROoseVelt's friendly m on the
King and on England, which formed the
gist of a conversation between Sir Thomas
and Mr.. Roosevelt while the former was
in the United States. The King was evil
IDENTIFY much pleased. In turn he told Sir
Thomas how greatly he admired President
Roosevelt's personality, which, unfortu-
nately, he only knew by hearsay.
The King takes great interest in the
preparations for building another challen-
ger for the cup, which are believed to be
already on foot.
Captain Sycamore, in an interview, said
he would shortly hold a consultation with
Sir Thomas Lip+on, and he had great hopes
that a great III would come
therefrom.
1t is rumored that King Edward has
taken particular interest in w. G.. Jane
sons alleged shortcomings during the cup
races. 1t is noticeable in this connection
that his Majesty has not seen Mr.. Jane
son since the latter's return TO England,
sition to know hat he is not likely to do
so In the future.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE trial Of Theodore
and Laura Jackson (Ann Odelia Diss De
Bar was resumed at the Old Bailey to-day.
The day was occupied with a reiteration Of
former testimony In the case and excited
cross-examining of the girl witnesses by
Mrs. Jackson, who was frequently called
TO order by the judge. The defendants con-
tende that there was a conspiracy against
them and expressed the hope tina their
past careers would be fully investigated.
The feature of the day was the clever
ness of the female defendant in questioning
the witnesses. Her manner, always dra-
matte. was at times terrific. Once she
burst into tears, suddenly recovered and
continued her excited questions and vocif-
erous comments on the testimony. She was
not even afraid to argue with such a for
midable lawyer as Sir Edward Carson, the
solicitor general. n the judge had the
utmost difficulty in controlling her.

SULLIVAN ON THE RACK
SEVERAL SENSATIONS DURING THE
LAWYERS CROSS-EXAMINATIoN.
Killing of Francis HanfOrd Recalled
by the States Attorney-Cronin
Murder Case Also Revived.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Numerous sensa-
tons were sprung in Judge Smiths court
to-day when Alexander Sullivan, charged
with conspiracy, was cross-examined by
Assistant States Attorney Barnes. Mr..
Barnes was going back into Sullivan's
early history and had made reference to
the killing of Francis Hanford, principal of
the North Division High. School,, twenty
four years ago by Sullivan.
From his chair on the witness stand
Sullivan defed the State to let him ex-
plain to the jury his motive for the kill
ing. He drew from his pocket a letter
which he said was the one from Hanford
rejecting on the character of S~ulIivan's
wife and which had, he declared, prompted
the tragedy. He asked Attorney Barnes
if he would be manful enough to let him
produce this before the jury that was try
ing him for conspiracy. Mr.. Barnes re-
piled that he would if Sullivan would be
manly enough to let the State produce the
witnesses who saw him murder Hanford.
Here Judge Smith interrupted the colloquy
and refused to allow such testimony to be
offered.
Further in the examination the attorney
drew from Sullivan the testimony that he
was acquainted with DR.. Cronin. but that
he had not circulated after the murder
OF Cronin the report that the murdered
man was a British spy. Attorney Barnes
also drew admissions that Sullivan was
attorney for the defendants in the famous
County Board Doodle cases. Sullivan en-
phatically denied hat he had mortgaged
his home in order to raise funds with
which to pay the bills of Johnny Graham.
who was indicted for jury bribery in the
Cronin murder trial. The State tried to
show that during the Hanford trial S,lIi-
van had designed to have sermons
preached against him in order to excite
religious and race prejudice, but Sullivan
denied the accusation and said that the
aspersions cast upon him by these SER
mons had created q feeling against him.
During the afternoon session of the trial
w. J. Hynes, Hickman Seaman and former
States Attorney Longenecker were called
to the witness stand as character witnesses
and said that Mr.. Sullivan's reputation for
honesty and integrity was bad.
Mrs. Anna Marie Lynch, the aged mother
of former Bailiff James j. Lynch, took the
given by Mrs. Mamie McGuirk, one of the
defendants star witnesses. Mrs. Lynch
not only impeached Mrs. McGuirk's testi-
mony, but she denied in toto statements
made under oath by her own son, William
Lynch. and by the wife of her son James.
William had said that James beat his
mother. HE never struck me. God never
sent a mother a better son than James.
I nave been a widow" the aged women
said.
James J. Lynch gave way to tears while
his mother told of her love for him. Mrs.

van wanted her TO go 10 Canada to see

LIPTON'S TALK WITH EDWARD
SIR THOMAs's ACCOUNT OF HIS IN
TERvIEw WITH THE KING.
His Majesty Hopeful the Yachtsman
VIII Yet BE Able to Lift the
Americas Cup.

BERLIN, Dec. ia representative Of
the Foreign Office says that the law re-
curing the inspection of foreign meat at
German ports of entry has neither been
decreed nor is it in force, nor has the date
Of it's PRONUNCIATION been determined.
The attention of the Foreign Office was
called to statements in German newspapers
to the effect that this law would go into
force Jan. 4, 1902. Such statements, the
report of the Foreign Office said, although
they had been made both in Germany and
the United States, were incorrect. He in
timated that this law might be put into
operation some time in 1902. He said that
the government of the United States would
be informed of this matter Immediately
after a definite determination had been
reached.
Judging by the cablegrams received here
through diplomatic channels, the meat ex-
porters of the United States are much
concerned over the new regulations, which
will exclude packages weighing less than
eight pounds, and think that II these regu-
lations are harshly administered they will
constitute an embargo on all pork imports.
The agents OF American packers at Ham,
burg think the suspension of microscopical
meat inspections in the United States on
Jan. 3 is a great mistake, and that it Is
possibly due to misapprehension or Ger
many's intentions under the new law.
The central bureau for the preparation or
commercial treaties issued a statement to-
day in which IL said that the discontinue
ance in the United States of government
meat examinations would necessarily stop
the importation of American meat into
m and other continental countries.
This statement calls attention to the agree
ment of 1881, according to the terms OF
which the United States expressly agrees
to issue certificates TO accompany all meats
after they have been inspected.
Germany's rigorous exclusion of foreign
hogs has raised the price of fresh pork
by several cents over the prices of 1900.
The Allgemeine Fleischer Zeitung has pub
lished statistics from forty-three of the
principal municipal slaughter houses of
Germany showing that 255, ITO hogs were
slaughtered in November, 1901, as against
Bic, 3S1 slaughtered in November, 1900. The
paper says also that the animals killed this
year are of inferior quality.
