James Ryland, a laborer of 882 Fast Ohio street, testified that he and his cousin, Jeremiah Hyland, called at O Sultivan'e house about 7 o1 clock Sunday night, May fi. They had supper and witness and bis cousin, accompanied by O'Sullivan, left the O'Sullivan house about 10 o'clock and went west oti Ashland avenue. "Wo went down," he said, '"to the second saloon and went in and had three .glasses of wine--sherry wine--together .and O'Sullivan paid for it. Then we bad Another glass of wine apiece and I paid for it Then we had ciears." On cross-examination Hyland said he didn't know Dan Coughlin, had never spoken to him, and, indeed, he had not spoken to O'Sullivan until the night of May 5, though he had seen him at church in Wisconsin. i '-What did you say you had to •drink at the saloon:" "Sherry." 4"Did your cousin call for the same?" "He said he'd like'to have a glass of cider, but tha man hadn't any." "How did you all stand at the barf" . "We all stood together." ,' ' "Talk much!-"' "Not we didn't talk a great deal^::W It will be remembered that Ivieman was positive that O'Sullivan and Coughlin stood apart from Kunze at the saloon and that they talked together earnestly for as much as twenty minutes; that Kunze stood apnrt and flrst ordered beer, but when O'Sullivan sald> "Take something good,"' he drank sherry, with tho rest. Further, that it was i_eariy 11 o'clock instead of be­ ing shortly after i) o'clock, because the saloon keeper closed up immediately after these men left, and yet again that Nie- man is positive that it was Saturday night, May instead of Sunday, May 5. Again, it is by no means cortain that the saloon Hyland retera,to is Nieman's place. Jeremiah Hyland, the cousin who is to take Kunze's place as the blonde stranger who was with O'Suilivan in Neiman's place, was pext brought in, sworn, and stool to before the jury. He brought his hat, too. It was a silk hat and the rain hadn't helped its looks a particle. Ho is Smaller than James, but is stili big enough to make two ICunzes out of him. On tbe stand he substantiated his cousin's story. Michael Whelan. an ex-police officer, took tbe stand and told all about where Dan Coughlin was on the night of May i. Whelan at that time was a detective at the East Chicago Avenue station. He was suspended from the force May 2>Vand dis­ charged Aus. SI. On Saturday, May 4, Whelan attended the funeral of an old friend. In the even- iug he was at the Chicago Avenue station from 7:30 o'clock until after 10. He met Dan Coughlin at the station that night about 7:45. From i) o'clock until 10 Coughlin wasn't out of Whelan's sight Whelan is positive*ahout the date because that wat the day Lieut. Brennan was pro­ moted to private secretary and he and Coughlin discussed the matter. About 1):3Q o'clock that night t-'ergt. Stift invited Whelan and Coughlin over to Gleasou's to have a drink. Aft»r leaving tho saloon Wnelanand Coughlin stoo,d in front of the station until 10 o'clock Whelan then went inside and he diJ not know where Coughlin went \' Oil! er John Stiff was called upon to corroborate Mils Whelan, but he didn't wU a cent He said that na^BfMay 4, he met Dan Whelan in front of the ;o avenue station. It was about 9:80 o'clock and he asked them over to Gleason's saloon. He was positive about the night and the hour. Judge Longnecker, asked the witness why he was so positive it was Saturday night, May 4, and he said because the next morning at 6 o'clock he found an order on the spindle about Cronin's disappearance, and he notified the day officers to inquire at tho livery-stable and see if they could learn who had a white horse out on Saturday night He was consummately cock-sure that the night he saw Dan Coughlin and Mike Whelan was the night before he saw this order on the spindle. "Are you sure it was Sunday morning, Msj 5, that you found this order on the spindle?" asked Mr. Forrest "Why, of course I am sure of it. I know it." That settles Dan Cough'in's attempt to prove an alibi. Dr. Cronin's disappear­ ance was not reported until Sunday noon by Mr. Conklin. It was Monday morning that he found the order, and it was the night b3fore that he saw Coughlin and WThalen in front of the police station. Coughlin's alibi was knocked into a cocked hat Mr. Forrest hadn't a word to say, but his face wore a sad expression. The next witness was Redmond Mc­ Donald, a policeman of tbe East Chicago avenue station. McDonald testified that ha went to Casey's funeral on the after­ noon of May 4 in a buggy with Officer Richard McCormick. He said that he went on duty as a patrolman at 7 o'clock that evening. He remained on duty till 4 o'clock in the morning. "Did you see Dan Coughlin that night?" asked Mr. Forrest "1 did." "Where did you see him'" "I saw him go into the station." "At what time " "Abeu 8:-15 or 9 o'clock." Then a section of the defense of O'Sul­ livan was introduced. Willifm Mulcahey, one of the iceman's employes, was called to the stan 1. Mulcaney testified that he went to work for O'Sullivan about April 2. About a week or so after a man, whom O'Sullivan said was Detective Coughlin, came to the O'Sullivan house and spoke to O'Sui­ livan in the hearing of the witness. The stranger asked O'Sullivan if he was well acquainted in Lake View. O'Sul- li\an replied that he was. Then the stranger asked him if he knew John Kunze. O'Sullivan replied that he did. "Well," said the man, "if you see him' tell him to call me up at the Chicago Ave­ nue station--that I want to see him. Mulcahey testified that O'Sullivan had told him to go see Dr. Cronin about a sore on his leg, a* he, O'eullivati, had a con­ tract with the doctor to treat his em­ ployes. Coming down to May 4, Mulcahey swore that he was with O'Sullivan peddling ice till late in the evening. Then ho had sup­ per and O'Sullivan, was at the table. About 9 o'clock O'Sullivan went upstairs to bed, and soon afterward Mul­ cahey followed him. Some time later, about 10 o'clock, witness thought, be was awakened by hearing some of the workmen returning. O'Sullivan down stairs to let them in., Later yet, Mrs. Whalen and her sister came into tbe room where O'Sullivan and wit­ ness slej.t to get a cot which was in that room. Thera was a light in the room. Mrs. Whalen spoke to O'Sullivan. O'Sul­ livan remained in thn room all night "uo yo i re me moor getting any cards of O'Sullivan's iu the last of April?" "I did; I got about 100 and distributed tl:ern around tbe stores and saloons." "Do you remember seeing O'Sullivan talking to old man Carlson?" "I do." "What was said?" "Old man Carlson asked O'Sullivan ff he knew any of those parties that had rented •he cottage, and O'Sullivan did mot know may of thein.' On the cross-examination Mttleahey said that he had known O'SulllTan's brother in Iowa, and had a letter of introduction from this brother to the Lake View man. Mulcahey'a memory was defective. He could not remember where he stopped when he came to Chicago, except that it was "near the Washington street tunnel." He could not remember whether he regis­ tered his name at the hotel or not Although Mulcahey occupied the same feed with O'Sullivan he could not tell What color the icemqp's underwear was, nor what time he went to bed, nor what time he got up, nor what was done by O'Sullivan from the time ihey all had supper till they went to bed. In facty except on the main points of the matter, the witness' memory was sadly defective. Mulcahey was corroborated by Thomas Whelan, first cousin of O'Sullivan, and Robert Doynton, James Knight and James Minnehan, employes of O'Sullivan. The last witness said that he went to O'Sullivan's house last Sunday evening at tbe request of Attorney Donahue. They talked the case over among themselves and | each man heard what the other was going j to testify to. The Hvlands were there and rehearsed their 6tories. Patrick Brenan, another employe of P. O'Sullivan, said that on May 4 they had supper between 7 and 8 o'clock. The wit­ ness was not out of the house all tbe even­ ing. He saw O'Sullivan and Mulcahey go to bed about 9 o'clock. Cross-examination by Mr. Hynes: "Where you at O'Sullivan's house last Sunday evening:"- • '"Yes, sir." " ••"'t , "Whom did you see there?" " 'V\ '**Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Forrest*' "Did you know, that thsy were going to be there " "No, sir." - "You were surprised; to find them there, •ware you not?" "Yes." - "Who dirt you go there with?" "Jamos Minnehan." The w'itness said that he went to Minne­ han's room on Desplaines street last Sunday evening, and from there they went to O'Sullivan's. Nothing was said about the Cronin casa on the way out. They were stlrprisdd to find the lawyers at O'Sullivan's house upon their arrival. Each witness told his story in the presence of the other. Miss McCormick and Mrs. Whalen also testified t> O'Sullivan's presence a^ his house during all of the evening of M^y 4. Matt Danahy, a saloonkeeper at Chi­ cago avenue and Isor'h Clark street, the man who is supposed to have sent tbe money to Winnipeg for Burke's defence, and al o to have furnished tbe meals to Burke after he was pla ed in the jail 'n Chicago, was the next witness. "I was in my saloon on the nlghlc of May 4," he said, "having come there be­ tween <$ and 7 o'clock that evening. I know Martin Burke, and be was there at that time. I relieved my bartender, a man named Gleason, and was in the saloon all the evening. Burke remained iu my place until between 9 and 10 o'clock, wh-m he went out The evening of May 5 Bui fee was again in my saloon. P. H. Nolan, Pat Cooney and a man named Finley were also in my saloon that night" On cross examination Danahy denied having sent money to Winnipeg for Burke's defense; admitted that he ordered a restaurant to furnish Burke meals in jail, Hnd denied he ever called Cronin a spy, accompanied with a vile epithet Finn ly Mr. liynes asked: ""iou knew that Burke was openly charged with be­ ing an occupant of the Carlson cottage. Why didn't you publish the fact thai' Burico was in your saloon the night of Mav 4. and therefore guiltless of the mur­ der?" "I did not want newspaper notoriety/ because it would injure my business." "That fact then causes you to let you/ best frieud suffer under this charge of * terrible crime, and you would not show his innocence because it woutd-cost you • small sum of money?" "Yes." "Have you not expended paying for Burke's meals?" "Yes." "Who will repay the money*" "No one."' Danahy was corroborated by William F. Coughlin and Francis P. Gleason, both members of Camp 20. «** "f THE NATIONAL CAHTAL. Some Figures on the Cost of liunnii: Onr New Navy. Commodore Dewey, chief of the burea of equipment aud re ruiting of the Navy department, has made his annual report to Secretary Tracy. He asks for an in­ crease in the appropriation over the past year on account of new vessels. Thesb vessels have a greater steamer capacity than tho old ones, and thus the fuel bill has become greater. During the year the Dolphin used $'15,000 worth of coal, and as it is proposed to keep twenty-five vessels in commission all the time the re­ port estimate? the cost of coal to be $87 \ - 000 per annum. „ On June 80 last there were 8,147 enlise- ed men and apprentices in the navy. The report recommends a more rigid stand­ ard regarding the citizenship of those who enlist, and says that hereafter every man or boy. who offers to enlist should be native born Americans or a naturalized Ameri­ can, or declare bis intention to become a citizen. At a session of the international marine conference, the other day, three important amendment's were adopted. The first was on motion of the delegate from the Nether­ lands, as follows: In making any course authorized or required by these regulations a steamship under way shall indicate that course to any other ship which is in sight by the following signals on the whistle--namely, one short blast to mean "I am directing my course to starboard;" two short blasts to mean "I am directing iny course to port;" three short blasts to mean "I am going full epeed astern." The use of these signals is optional, but if they are used the course of the ship must be in accordance with tbe signal made. The second ammendinent was on motion of the delegate from Great Britain, pro­ viding that in clear weather at sea no -vessel shall attempt to ctoss tbe bows of tbe leaders of any squadron of three or more ships of war in regular formation nor unnecessarily pa«s through the lines of such squadron.' Tbe third requires all towing steamers to display an ad­ ditional bright white light six feet above or below the regular lights. Mr. Windom sustains Treasurer Huston's claim that money sent by him to ^tioual bunks and others in exchange for silver certificates or legal tender notes of large denominations and deposited with the sub- treasurers is government money until it reaches tho consignee and that tinder it* contra t tho I nited States Express com­ pany must carry it at contract rates. This is regarded as an important decision atid will a!Vect the receipts of the express company considerably. Under this con­ tract n package of money sent from the treasury to St. I'aul or an equal distance would be charged but 15 ceuts, while under commercial rates the company would get $1.25 or the same service. The compfiny declined to carry money at the former rates, thus raising the question which the Secretary has just decided. THE REPUBLIC IS PEACE SIGHIN0. FOR THE FAIR. SAfY MONARCHY IK AMKBX«JA .

Dom Pedro Forced to Abdleate-A Fro- visional Government Established--Ar­ ticles of Federation--A Revolution Ac­ complished Without Bloodshed. A Rio Janeiro coble says; The city 'awoke last Friday to hear the republic proclaimed. Gen. Da Foaseca, Senor Con­ stant, and others, proceeded to Petropolis in the morning and informed the Emperor that he had been deposed. Dom Pedro, surrounded by his family, received the deputation with absolute composure. Gen. Da Fonseca was the spokesman. He said that Brazil had advanced far enough in thi path of civilization to dis]>ense with the monarchy. The country, while grateful to the Emperor for his patriotic services, was firmly resolved to recognize only the republic, Dom Pedro made a dignified reply. He declined to abdicate, but said he wou>d yield to force. The imperial family was allowed one hour to prepare for their departure. Car­ riages escorted by soldiers were waiting to take them to the outer harbor, where a man-of-war was lying under steam. The captain had been instructed to' sail as soon as the imperial family had embarked. He had reci^red sealed orders instructing him what route to take. It is supposed that Lisbon is the destination of the vessel. The republic will allow the deposed Em­ peror >iv,0 contos de reis per annum during his life. The denomination adopted by the gov­ ernment for the republic is the United States of Brazil. The Governors named bv the provisional government are all military men The province of Bahia has proclaimed for the republic. Peace and quietness reign. , The five articles of the government de­ cree are: • 1. The republic is proclaimed. " 3. The provinces of Brazil, united by. federation, compose tho United States of! Bra^L 8. Each State will form Its own loekt government 4. Each State will send a representative to the Congress, which will convene shortly, and the final decision of which the provisional government will await. 6. Meantime the Governors of the States will adopt means to maintain order and protect the citizens' rights. The nation's internal relations will be presented meanwhile "by the provisional Government. Senor Patrocinio has been in prisoned for conspiring against tho republic. Peace and quietness reign. A London dispatch says: Dr. Barbosa. the new Brazilian minister of finance, has telegraphed to the Brazilian minister here to the following effect: •'Ihe government 13 constituted as the United States of Brazil. The monarchy is deposed and Dom Pedro and bis family have left the country. The provinces have signified their adhesion to the government. Tranquility and general satisfaction pre­ vail. The republic will strictly respect all State engagements, obligations, and con­ tracts." The Brazilian minister is directed to notify the stock exchange that all financial engagements entered into by the imperial government will ba faithfully observed by the republic. A long cablegram has been received at Washington, by the Brazilian minister, containing a comrlete official confirmation of the report of the revolution already published. The communication states officially that the empire is abolished and the Emperor Bent out of the country; that a republic has been established under tho name of the I nited States of Brazil; that a provisional government ljas teen formed with the of- i cors alroady named in the public dis­ patches; that all the provinces have assent­ ed to the new government; that peace and order prevail, and that the new govern­ ment will carry out all the contracts and agreements of the old one. This informa­ tion the minister laid officially before the State department The cablegram does not state whether tho minister and other representaii ves of the former govern­ ment here will be recalled or directed to continue their relations as before, nor does it refer to the delegates to the marine conference or the pan-American congress now in session here. It is presumed by the oll'cials themselves that the matter will not be determined until the new gov­ ernment has had time and opportunity to shape its policy and determine with re­ ference to its officers to carry out the same. Tlie minister desires it to be stated that he has qot resigned and has not been recalled. Just be*ore t&e marine conference rose for the noon recess Admiral Viel, of Chili, announced that ho hud been requested by Capt Gama and Maunty. the delegates from Brazil, to say that in view of the present condition of affairs hi that country they would not longer Bit in the confer­ ence. London Bpecial: The Brazilian min­ ister at Vienna has received a cable briefly detailing tbe facts of the revolu­ tion. His information is to the effect that Fonseca. now provisional president of Brazil, secured the treachery of the garrison to the imperial government by promises of pay. The army seized Rio Janeiro on Thursday. A committee with a detachment of military proceeded on Friday morning to the imperial palace at Petropolis and informed the Emperor iu the presence of bis family that he had beeu deposed. Dom Pedro received the news with composure. Within an hour he was placed on a mail steamer to sail for Lisbon. Harriet beecii::r"stowe. ; Tlie Writer of "Uncle Tom's Cablu" Finally Heroines Demented. A Hartford (Conn.) dispatch says: Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe is mildly dementedi Day by day she wanders around under the bare boughs of the autumn trees, gather­ ing their leaves like a child. She is quite harmless. Only last week she wandered out on to the street alone. A shawl which liung from her shoulders dragged on the ground /ind her gray hair was in disorder. She smiled and talked to her.-elf as she tottered weakly along, and finally acrowd of rough street-boys were following her. They laughed and jeered at the pitiful sight, not knowing who she was. A gentleman came along who had .known bor in happier years. He dispersed the boys and with some difficulty induced the aged^ woman to return home. | WORK 0F_F1EN0S. ] Attempted Wholesale Assassination of 400 ipnupln lit Hurley, Wis.

CHICAGO AMD SEW YORK WANT IT VEKY BADLY. But from Present Indications It Looks mm If the Northwestern Metropolis Had m Sure Thing- of It--What Is Heine Done by tbe Friends of Koch. [SPECIAIi CHICAGO COKBKSPONDBKOE.} The spirit of enterprise which Chicago is showing in her efforts to secure tho Columbi n Exposition is marvelous and not without effect. It is noticeable that in all parts of the country, and especially in New York City, there is a feeling; cropping out in favor of Chicago as tha one site for the exposition. To hold the exposition in Chicago would insure such a knowledge of ^our national life, resources and the beauty of our domain as cor.ld not be obtained were it held in a seaboard or threshold city. Chicago includes within her popu­ lace a larger representation of the nation­ alities of the globe endowed with tho privileges and inspired with the oppor-* tnniWes of American citizenship than is elsewhere found; hence it is that city in which the people of the world are inter* ested. The 1,160 hotels in Chicago (there are only 215 in New York City) guarantee accommodation for the thou­ sands of visitors and their guests who are assured of the b£6t treatment at tho nsu >1 rates. That Chicago is fast gaining friends in the South is demonstrated by the action of the farmers' convention at Montgom­ ery, Ala. Both St. Louis and New York made vigorous efforts for indorsement, but the Illinois delegates had worked their forces so well that when the resolu­ tion was presented the vote for Chicago ^tood 261 for and 63 against. Following • is the full text of the resOlntion adopted: • i^*fmi»EAs, The importance to the people at lafge of the United States that a great World's Exposition be held in 1892 cannot be overesti­ mated ; enl WHI-RKAH, That aB agriculture with its kindred pursuits is the greatest of our productive in- duplies and unless large space were devoted to it the Exposition would come far short of what it should be; and IW,HKUF.AS, The magnitude of our domain and the grandeur of its various productive resources of &o5l and mine are such as to demand that the- celebrating the fourth centennial of thG Columbian era bo projected on a scale sur­ passing anything the world has ever seen, and icommensurate with the resources of our coun­ try, or the nation fails to perform its duty to itself; therefore Resolved, That some central point offering1 the best transportation facilities and other accommodations for its visitors be selected for the lceation of the great enterprise represent­ ing the commerce of farm and mine. Resolved, That this congress indorse Chicago as the most suitable place at which to hold the World's Fair for 1K92, and the Secretary be in­ structed to send copies or' tnis resolution to all members of Congress and urge that they vote for its selection. In reply fo Senator Farwell's article published in the Mew York Cosmopolitan Magazine, the same magazine contains a paper contributed by William Waldorf Astor, a member of the plutocratic fam­ ily of that name, who has some literary pretensions, and who has devoted his el­ egant leisure to the production of one or two Bo-called'novels, whose fame has not yet far transcended the limits of Mr. Ward McAllister's gilded four hundred. Mr. Astor begins by declatiug himself cordially of Senator Farwell's opinion, that the emulation between the two cities- should be conducted without bitterness or partisanship, and thereupon falls to abusing and vilifying Chicago, like a person destitute or breeding or fairuess, and to insulting her business men in a most gratuitous manner. A single quo- tat:on will show the arrogance and the impertinence of the dude writer: "The Senator further advances the architectural magnificence of Chicago's private resi­ dences as a logical reason for placing tho great Exposition within their auieole. Chi­ cago is the London of America, possessing metropolitan imperialism and worthy of the designation of tho young giant ot tho prairies. Its houses, he declares, are palaces. We know them well, those palaces, all of which were built with bor­ rowed money, and most of which to-day are mortgaged from corner-stone to sky­ light. We know them well, those pal­ aces, where every sign of wealth abounds and where the lront door is opened by a housemaid. We know them well, those palaces, whose occupants are 'all out on their doorsteps,' as they used to sit in New York seventy years ago, when our 'palaces' were built on twenty-five foot front lots, 'and when social life was primitive in the extreme." Waiving the disreputable insolence contained in this extract, says the Chi­ cago Tribune, is this kind of stuff an ar­ gument for Now \ork against Ofcio igur Is it anything more than the vaporiDgs of an idle plutocrat, who has been enabled by the industry of his progenitors in skinning sundry small polar animals, and vendiug them at large profits, to hire a butler to attend his front door, and who does not consider it in "good foim" to sit on bis tront-door steps of a summer evening, as they did? Mr. Astor has a mind above stock- breeding and farm products. "We in New \ork," he says, "conceive the signifi­ cance of this exhibition to be something more than lumber, iron, and live stock. We have not in mind the agricultural show the Seuator meditates." He doee not want any reminders of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, and the great busi­ ness of the couutry, oV the products of the horny-banded farmers, of the iron^ steel, and metals, of the cotton of tho South, or the products of tho looms, an­ vils, turning-lathes, laboratories, or the inventions of the nation. Such things would only tend to re­ mind him of family traditions and pedi­ gree. They would bo strikingly sugges­ tive of boar skins, mink skins, beayeri skins, cat sKins, dog skins, and thesKine of skunks aud polar rats. The ladder by which ho climbed into the fifth-story window must be taken down so that it may not be seen by tho visitors. Wm. Waldorf Astor dees not care io be re­ garded as the result of the peltry trade, but as one of Mr. McAllister's four hundred, who do not sit on their front door * steps of summer evenings, and , whose housemaides do not answer the bells. Chicago will not cherish any resent­ ment, however, agnin>t William" Waldorf for his desire to conceal the various agen­ cies which have made him tbe outcome of peltry peddling. On the other hand, when he comes to Chicago to see tho World's Exposition, Chicago will take great pleasure in showing him hides and furs in all stages of manufacture, and will escort him to her parks and introduco him to beavers, budaloos, seals, bears, foxes, wolves, otters, alligators, and mon­ keys all wearing the identical kind of skins from the profits of which his great­ grandfather founded the house "and fam­ ily of Astor, and which have enabled him to live in his brown-^toue frM>t, to pay the regulation attentiontrr-feis frontdoor, and to keep his family oil the front steps of warm evenings. In reply to Mr. Astor's contention that New York is the onlv proper place in this country for the holding of tbe World's I air, and in answer to 1hb vulgar and im­ pertinent sniffing at Chicago, we havo thie to say: New York is not able to organize and conduct a fair of this kind to a success. Sho has never had but one fair, and th tt was a conspicuous failure. The only successful fa'r on a lar^e eoale near New York was held iu Philadelphia. The New Orlenns Exhibition, though not a complete success, was more successful tban New York's. She has not the en­ terprise or public spirit to organize even such fairs as are held annually in Chi­ cago, St. Louie, Cincinnati, Milwaukee* Louisville, Minneapolis, and San Fran­ cisco. She has not tbe requisite publio spirit. She is the principal entrepot, where toll is levied upon everything and ovsqr person that eomee within her gi' f."
