GEORGE YUILLE TEsTIFlES.
Defense In Sullivan Case Shows He
 Neve overdrew Salary.

Chicago, December 12.-Geoage Yuille, formerly the general manager and vice. president of the Chicago West Division street railway, was called to the witness stand today by the defense in the case of alleged conspiracy against Alexander Sullivan.
 Tn defense tried to show that at no time had MT Sullivan drawn more than his yearly salary of s15,Oo0 but Judge Smith said the Street Railway Company was not on trial and that it was nec- essary to show the source of the money used in bribes for jurors.
 In the course of the cross ss-examination of former Baliff Thomas J. Scanlan States Attorney Dinen stated that Scan Ian had fled from Chicago during jury bribing investigations, and that now he is protected only by the statute of limi- tation. Scanlan retorted with a charge of falsehood to the States attorney and in an instant six lawyers were trying to make themselves heard at the same time. Judge Smith ordered Attorney P H. O'Donnell to take his seat and quieted the witness and the other lawyers.

GALE SWEEPING
 ENGLISH COASTS
DAMAGE TO TELEPHONE AND
 TELEGRAPH LINES THE HEAVI- EST IN 20 YEARs-ScHooNE SINKS AND FOURTEEN DROWN.

London, December 12.- fierce gale is sweeping the English and Irish channels. Many vessels are seeking shelter, and the life boats are busy rescuing small craft
 Dover is experiencing the full force of the storm, and numbers of ships off there are making signals of distress A Belgian fishing smack has foundered in the North Sea, resulting in the drowning of four teen persons. Snow in the midIands has stopped hunting.
 The postal authorities say that the gale and snowstorm caused the worst breakdown of the telegraph and tele- phone lines, which has occurred in twenty years
 North of a line drawn through Birming- ham the whole country, including Ireland, is almost cut off from communication with London. Press dispatches have to be sent by rail.
 The heavy snow fall continued through out the day and the gale was still raging last night. There is no doubt that many shipping disasters will be reported when the wires are restored.

DEMONSTRATION FOR MAso.
Negro Mob Outside Building Prevent
 Hearing Speeches.

Santiago de Cuba. December 12-The independent party held a great demon stration here tonight in favor of Gener- al Bartolomo Maso. their candidate for the Presidency. The largest auditorium in the city was incapable of accommodate ing the crowd.
 A crowd of negroes numbering several thousand gathered outside the building in which the meeting was held and with their cries of ''viva Palma" made it inn possible for any one to hear the speeches. The police were unable to disperse this assemblage.
 The independents aver that the mayor of Santiago encouraged this disturbance. A riot was avoided otlIy by the arrival of the rural guard. Numbers of nation alists, mostly negroes. paraded the streets all night long, cheering for Thomas Estrada Palma. their candidate for the Presidency and trying to over come the effects of the Maso demonstra- ton. There were several small riots but no serious trouble.

MEETING OF CIVIL SERVICE LEAGUE
PAST YEAR HAS SEEN THE REs- ToRATIoN OF 1,6oo POSITIONS IN WAR DEPARTMENT TO THE CLASSIFIED SERVICE.

Boston, December 12-After an execu- tive session the twenty-first annual meet ing of the National Civil Service Reform League was opened here today. Dr. D. c. Gilman of Baltimore presided The an- nual report of the council said in part;
 ''rhe past yeAr has seen the restora- ton to the classified service of some 1900 positions in the War Departm ent; the steady development of the merit system in the Philippine Islands and the re- storation of harmony in the relations of the league with the civil service commis- sion."
 The report also states that the action of the President shows he sympathizes with civil service reforms and the New York election is expected to be a great benefit to the leagues principles.
 A meeting in Sanders theater, Cam bridge, was addressed by President Elliot of Harvard, Hon. Carl Schurz pr. Daniel c. Gilman and Hon. Vim. Dudley Foulke.
 President Elliot said in part:
 Ninety gears ago my grandfather who was & Boston merchant headed a public lottery, from the proceeds of which
 
 Stoughton Hall was built and it stands today as a hall built by public lottery in Massachusetts.
 Shall we not find that fifty years from now it will be regarded as discreditable and as dishonorable for a man to use the sale of house post to promote his own advancement or even to promote the advancement of political party?''
 Hon. Vim. Dudley Foulke of Indiana recently appointed a member of the na- tional service commission said:
 Nearly every applicant for office now bases his application in part at least, upon the statement that he is a devoted adherent to the civil service law. That indicates an advance. It Is because we have a leader. There is man who has the power to handle civil service in an almost autocratic manner. The man Is the foremost civil service reform CT in America-President Roosevelt

Find Blood Stains.

The police have found blood stains on the floor of the balcony in front of the first floor of Mrs. Dennis house, and many blood stains on the sidewalk on Eleventh street, around the corner from the scene of the attack. They are disin- elined to connect the latter stains with the case, but say the stains on the bal cony indicated that the one who com- mitted the assault had stepped over the balcony railing onto the front steps in stead of dropping to the parking below the balcony.
 William Lansdale, boy, who passed the house at midnight Monday, has re- ported that he saw a man descending the front steps at that time, and that his action attracted the boys attenion.
 The police are inclined to believe that the attack was made by a woman. 1t was pointed out at headquartSrs today that the window of the parlor adjoining Mrs. Dennis sleeping room through which the maurauder escaped had to be opened from the inside.
