CHICAGO COURT SENSATION.
Startling DeDouncment In the Trial of Alexander sullivan for Con-
 spiracy in Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. IA sensation that had previously been hinted at by the defense was sprung in Judge Smith s court. yesterday, in the trial of Law yer Alexander Sullivan. charged with conspiracy in connection with jury bribing in the Chicago courts.
 Former Bailiff James ]. Lynch, whose confessions have named Sulli- van as the principal in his crimes Of jury bribing, and as the abetter in his flight from justice, was quoted by witness as having, in a conversa- tioD in 1898, named George A. 1uille, and the directors of the West Chicago Street Railway Co. as the men be- hind him, and as having denied all connection with lawyers.
 John T. Smith, claim agent for the Grand Trunk and the Chicago x Eastern Illinois railroads, was the witness. Smith testified that, in 1S9S, while defending ease against the Grand Trunk, he encountered Bailif Lynch in the office of Lawyer Samuel A. Lynde, the company's counsel. The
 
 proposed to fix" the jury in the ease for $50. and that Smith said the bailiff had better talk with Lawyer Lynde about if. whercupon Lynch re- piled that he never did business with attorneys, as he had had experience with one that taught him better.
 The witness stated further that Lynch had told him that he was doing business for the West Chicago Street Railroad Co. that he represented Mir. Yuille and the directors, that the lawyers trying the cases were suck | CTS; that they thought they were winning the cases; but that really he was doing it, and that he was the thirteenth juror.
 This statement of the conversation alleged was read to the witness by SulliYau's counsel, and the witness replied that il was in substance cor rect.
 Later Lynch was called to the stand and practically the same questions were put to him, when he replied. No, l never said that nor any part of it, and l never saw this man in my life till l saw him to-dayin court" "
 Counsel for the state asked the wit ness Smith why he had failed to go to the states attorney when ap- preached with such vile proposal for erime.'
 Mr. Smiths answer was:
 If Attorney Eynde had caught him. too, l would have come, but it was only my word against his"

Washington, Dec 17-Hon. Isadore Rayner and Mir. NJ. \. Teague. coun. sel for Rear-Admiral Schley before the court of inquiry. are holding q consultation with t.eir client for tht purpose of outlining their future course of action.
 It was decided to ask Seeretar, Long to withhold his approval of the findings of the court of inquiry unti. such time as the admiral. through h. counsel, can file an objection ther to. The request was delivered to Sec. retary Long, and while he has not ve: answered the communication. it is understood the request will be grant. ed
 After the conference Admiral Schley authorized Mr. Tague to make the following statement:
 We have been in consultation as to what further proceedings shall be taken. Nothing definite has been de termined upon so far as civil or crim- inal action of any kind against Mac lay and his sponsors k concerned. Maclay's claim that the findings of the court are q vindication for him self and his book is absolutely spuri- ouS. There are no less than half 2 dozen instances in the book in which. even if he were to accept the find ings of the court and incorporate them into the volume and change it to suit the findings, the book would still be criminal libel"
 Admiral Dewey, president of the court, was asked for statement as to the extent to which he indorsed the findings of the majority of the court. Il have not word to saw" he replied, not a word"

This will be the fi"st division of any importance since he new membership of the house asl'em- bled. The republican majority at present is 37 as against Ii in the fast house. Representative Tawney' the republican whip. said of the probable result of the vote:
 ''The bill will pass by liberal ma ioyity, although there will be some bfeaks on both sides. On the repub- lican side we will not lose to exceed eight votes. This loss will be partial ly compensated by the gain of the Louisiana delegation of six votes. The net result shows that the bill will pass without trouble"
 .. The republican members who have :pnounced opposition to the bill are Representative Call (Mass.); Little .feld (Me), and Grumpaeker Qnd.) The latter is absent and will be paired against the bill if possible, al though democratic members are re fusing to be paired with him, owing to his attitude on southern elections Representative Warner (lll0 anc three republican members of the Min nesota delegation are among the oth CT republicans whose votes are doubt ful and may be east against the bill.
