THE DEFENSE OPENS.

OFFERING TKSTIMONV IM BBHALP Of TUB CBONIN SCSPBCT8. Numerous Frleuds of O'SuIHvan Testiry that He Was Not Out of His Own House the Eveulng the Crime Waa Committed Burke's Whereabouts Also Accounted rati fCbioago tolegnvm. The defense in the Cronin ease is mainly in tbe line of proving an alibi for the defendants, and that Bepgs did not appoint a secret committee of investigation, as charged by the State. James Hyland, a laborer of 383 East Ohio street, testified that be and his cousin, Jeremiah Uyland, called at O'Suilivau's house about 7 o'clock Sunday night, May IS. They had supper and witness and bis cousin, accompanied by O'SuIHvan. left the O'Suliivan house about 10 o'clock and went west on Ashland avenue. "We went down," he said, ' to the second saloon and went in and had three glasses of wine sherry wine together and O'Suliivan paid for it Then we had another glass of wins apises and I paid for it, Then we had cigars." On cross-examination Hyland said he didn't know Dan Coughlin, bad never spoken to t im, and, indeed, ho had not spoken to O'Suliivan until the night ot May 5, though he had seen him at church in Wisconsin. 4,What c id you say you bad to drink at the saloorO' ' "Sherry." "Did your cousin call for the same?" "He said he'd like to have a glass of cider, but the man hadn't any," How aid you an scant at toe oarr" "Ws all stood together." "Talk k much? "Xo, we didn't talk a great deal". It will In remembered that Niuman was positive fiat O'Suliivaa and- Coughlin stood apart from Kunze at the saloon and that they talked together earnestly for as muoh as twenty minutes; that Kunze stood apart and Srst ordered beer, but when O'Suliivan said: "Take something good,' be drank sherry with the rest. Further, that it wss nearly II o'clock instead of being shortly after 0 o'clock, because the saloon keor closed up immediately after these men left, and yet again that Neman, is positive that it was Saturday night, May 4, instead of Sunday, May .1. Again, it Is by so means certain that the saloon Hyland retuin to is Nieroau's place, ' Jeremiah Hyland, the cousin who is to take Kunze's place aa the blonde stranger who was with O'Suilivan In Neimau's place; was next brought in, sworn, and stood un before tlin jury. He brought his hat, too. Y.t was a' silk hat and the rain hadn't uelj;d its looks a partiole. He is smaller than James, but is still big enough to make two Kunzes out of him. On tbe stand be sulMtantiated his cousin's story, Michaol Wbelan. an ex-nolice officer, took the iitand and told all about where Ban Coughlin waa on tbe night of Hay 4. Wbelan at . that time was a detective at the East Chicago Avenue station. He was suspended from the force May 2ft and discharged Aug. 11. On Saturday, May 4, Whelaa attended the funeral of an old friend. In the evening be was at tbe Chicago Arenus station from 7:30 o'clock until after 10. He met Daa Coughlin at the station that night about 7:45. 1'rom 0 o'clock until 10 Coughlin wasn't out of Whelan's sight Whelan is positive about the date because that was the day Lieut. Breunan was promoted to private secretary and he and Coughlin diseusssd the" matter. About :80 o'clock that night Sergt Stift invited Whelan ami Coughlin over to Gleason's to have a drnrk. Aftsr leaving the saloon Wnelnn and Coughlin stood in front of the station until 10 o'clock. Whelan then went inside and be did not know where Coughlin vrent Offker Jahn Stiff was called upon to corroborati Itike Whelan, but he didn't corroborats worth a cent. He said that on Saturday night May 4, he met Dan Coughlin end Hike Whelan in front of the East Chiiago avenne station, it was about 9:80 o'clock and he asked them over to Glsoson's saloon. He was positive about the night and tbe hour. Judge Iongnecker, asked the witness why he wss so positive it was Saturday night, May , and he said because the next morning at 6 o'clock he found an order on the spindle about Cronin' disappearance, and be notified the day officers to inquire at the livery-stable and ass 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 Whelaa was the night before be saw this order on the spindle. "Are you sure it was Sunday morning, Ha; 8, that yon found this order on tne spindle? ' asked Mr. Forrest, "Why, ot course I am sure of it. I know it" That uttles. Dan Coughitn's attempt to prove an alibi. Dr. Cronin's disappearance wan not reported until Sunday noon by Mr. Conklin. It was Jiouday morning that he found the order, and it was the night before that he saw Coughlin and Whalen in front ot the police station. Coughlin's alibi was knocked, into a cocked hat, Mr. Forrest badn't a word to say, but bis face wore a sad expression. The next witness was Redmond McDonald, a policeman ot the East Chicago avenue station. McDonald testified that he went to Casey's funeral on the afternoon of May l in a buggy with Officer Richard McCorraick. 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 Cougblin that night;" asked Mr. Forrest "1 did." "Where did you see him?" "I saw him go into tbe station." "At what time?" "Abon 8:45 or 0 o'clock." Then a section of the defense of O'Suliivan was introduced. William Mulcabey, one of the iceraau's employes, was called to the stan I. Mntcaney testified that he went to work for O'f Sullivan about April 3. About a week or so after a man, whom O'Suliivan said was Detective Coughlin, came to the O'Suliivan house and spoke to O'Suliivan in tbe bearing of the witness. The stranger asked O'Suliivan if ha was wHl acquainted in Lake View. O'Suliivan replied that be was. Then the stranger asked bim if be knew John Kunze. - O'Suliivan 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 seo him, Mulcabey testified that O'Suliivan bad told him to go see Dr. Cronin about a sore on his leg, as ho, O'Suliivan, hod a contract with the doctor to treat bis employe. Coming down to May 4, Mulcabey swore lhat ho was with O'Suliivan peddling ice till lats in the evening. Then be had supper and O'Suliivan was at the table. About 0 o'clock O'Suliivan went upstairs to bed, and soon afterword Mulcabey followed bim.' Some time later, about 10 o'clock, witness thought, he was awakened by hearing some of the workmen raturning. O'Suliivan went down stairs to lot them In. Later yet, lira. Whalen and her sister earn into tin room where O'Suliivan and witness slept to get a cot which was in that room. There was a light in tbe room. Mrs. Whalen spoke to O'Suliivan. O'Suliivan retuaineJ in the room all night. "Do you rememoer getting any cards of O'Suli ivan' in the last of April?" "I ilid; I got about 100 and distributed them (round the stores and saloons." "Do you remember seeing O'Suliivan talking to old man Carlson?" "I do." "What was said?" "Old man Carlson asked O'Suliivan If he knew any of those parties that had rented tb cottage, and O'Suliivan replied that fas d wt kno w any ol tbtm."

On the cross-examination Mulcahey said that he bad known OMSulllvan's- brother In Iowa, and had a letter of Introduction from this brother to tbe Lake View man. Mulcahey'a memory was defective.

Although Mulcahey occupied tbe same bed with O'Suliivan fas could not tU what color the iceman's underwear was, nor what time he went to bed, nor what time he" got up, nor what was done by O'Suliivan from tbe time they all had supper till they went to bed. la fact, except on the main point of the matter, the witness' memory was sadly defective. Mulcahey was corroborated by Thomas Whiilsn, first cousin of O'Suliivan, and Robtrt Boyntou, James Knight and James Minuebna, employes of O'Suliivan. The last witness said that he went to O'SuIHvan's house last Sunday evening at the request of Attorney Donahue.

" "Did you know tbt they were going to be there " "No, sir." "Yon were surprised to find them tbore, were you not?" "Yes." . .... "Who did you go there with"' "James Minnehan," The, witness said that he went to Minaehan's room on Desplaines street last Sunday evening, and from there tbey went to O' Sullivan's. Nothing was said about the Cronin case on the way out. They wore surprisdd to find the lawyer at O'Suilivau's house upon their arrival. Each witness told hi story in the presence of the other. Miss McCormick and Mr. .Whalen also testified to O'SulUvan's presence at his house during all of the evening of May 4. Matt ..Danahy, a saloonkeeper at Chi. cugo avenue and Nor Clark street, the man who Is supposed to have seqt to money to Winnipeg for Burke' defense, and al o to have furnished the meals to Burke after he was pla ed in tbe jail la Chicago, Vas the next witness. 'I was in my saloon on the night of May 4," he said, "having coins-there between 9 and 7 o'clock that evening. I know Martin Burke, and he was there at that time. I relieved my bartender, a man trained Gleasoo, and was in tbe saloon all tbe eveuiug. Burke remained in my place until between 9 and 10 o'clock, when he went out. The evening of Hay S Burke was again in my saloon. P. H. Nolan, Fat Coeiiay 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, "and denied bo ever called Cronin a spv, accompanied with a vile epithet Fina'ly Mr. Hynes asked: "You knew that Burks was openly charged with being an occupant of the Carlson cottage. Whv didn't Vou publish the fact that

Bueke- whs fa youi -salssHh ataht-efrl May 4. and therefore guiltless of the murder?" "I did not want newspaper notoriety, because it would injure my business. " "That fact then causes you to let your best friend suffer under this charge of a terrible crime, and you would not show bis innocence because it would cost you a mall sum of money?' ' "Yes." "Have you hot expended a large ram ' paying for Burke's meals?" "Yos." "Who witt repay tha money?" "No one.'' Danahy was .corroborated by William F. Coughlin and Franois P. Gleasoo, both members of Camp SO. THB NATIONAL CAPITAL Some Figures on the Coat of Running Our New Navy. Commodore Dewey; chief of the bureau of equipment and re: rulting of the Navy department, bos made his annual report . it , m t tj. . , to oecrewry rauy. -tie asies tor on increase in the appropriation over the post year on account of new vessels. These vessels have a greater steamer capacity than the old ones, and thus tbe fuel bill ho become greater. During the year the Dolphin used jjP!ii,UUV worth or coal, ana as it is proposed to keep twenty-five vessels in commission all tbe time th report estimates the cost.of coal to be $873,000 per annum. On June 80 lost there were 8,147 enlist ed men and apprentices in tbe navy. The renort recommends a more rigid stand ard regarding the citizenship of those who enlist, and say that hereafter every man or boy who offers to enlist should be native born Americans or a naturalized American, or declare hi intention to become a eitJsen. At a session of the international marine conference, the other day, three important amendment were adopted. The first was on motion of the delegate from the Nether lands, as follows: In making any course autborteed or required by these regulations a steamship under way shall indicate that course to any other ship which is in sight by tne following signals on the whistle namely, one short blast to mean "I em directing my course to starboard;" two short blasts to. mean "I am directing my course to port;" three short blasts to mean "I am going full speed astern." Tbe use of these signals is optional, but if they are used the course ot tbe ship must be in accordance with the signal made. The second ammendment was oa motion of the delegate from Great Britain. . pro viding that in clear weather at sea no vessel shall attempt to cross the bows of the leaders of any squadron of three or more ships of war in regular formation nor unnecessarily pass through the lines of such squadron. The third requires all towing steamers ' to display an additional bright white light aix feet above or below tne regular lights. Mr. Windom sustains Treasurer Huston' claim that money sent by bim to National banks and other in exchange for silver certificates or legal tender notes of large denominations and deposited with the subtreasurers is government money until It reaches tho consignee and that, under its contract the United- States Express compauy mast carry it at contract rates. This is regarded as an important decision and will affect the receipts of the express company considerably. Under this contract a package of money sent from tbe treasury to St. Paul or an equal distance would be charged but 13 cents, while under commercial rates the company would get $1.35 'or the same service. The company declined to carry money at the former 'rates, thus raising tbe question which tbe Secretary ha just decided. s KELLliHKU IvEDOUTt The Boston Boy No Mutch for the Austral lau MIddle-Welght, A tight to a finish between Billy Mc Carthy, champion middle-weight of Australia, end Denny K el loiter, of Boston, for a purse of $1,600 took plnco at tbe rooms of the California Atlilotio Olub a few nights ago.

It is noticeable that ' in all parts of the country, and especiallyhi New York City, there is a feeling cropping oot in favor of Chicigo as the one site for the exposition. To hold the exposition in Chicago would insure such a kno irlcdge of our . national life, resources and the beauty of our domain as conld not: be obtained -were it hold in a seaboard or thvohefd oity. Chicago includes w ithin her populace a larger representation of th nation-. alitiea of th globe endowed with the privileges and inspired with the opportunities of American ciliamt hip then is elsewhere found; hence i; is that city la which the people of the world are inter'ested. The 1,160 hotels in Cuieego (there are only 215 in New York City) guarantee accommodation for tha thousands of visitors and their guests who are assured of tho best treatment at the usual rates. , That Chicago is fast gaming friend fh the South is demonstrate by the action at the farmers' convention at Montgomery, Ala. Both St. Loaii and New York made vigorous efforts for indorsement, but the Illinois delegates had worked their forces so well that when the reaoUt Uoa was presented the vote for Chicago -tood 261 for and 63 against. Following is the full text of the resolution adopted: Wuebbas, The Importance to the people large of tbe United States that a great World's Exposition be hold in ll2 oumot ha evrtt mated; nl ' WttKnisAs, That as agrlcnlturo with it kindred StroatU is the greatest of onr prodnettve la- ' astrles and unions large space were doruted to It the Exposition would copje f -r snort Of what J It suouh! bo; and Wni'-f-:..':; rn magnJtpde of oar domain and m grandeur of Ita various iToductlvo resource at soli and mine are saeb as to demand that the Exposition celebrating the fourth centennial of the Columbian era be projected on a scale sra passing anything the world hits ever seen, a r eommonsnratc with the resources of oar coon-i-' try, or the nation fails to perform its daty to itself; therefore Raoltxd, That some central point offering the best transportation facilities and other accommodations for It visitors be selected fox, tho lr cation of the great enterprise refceaowt log the commerce of farm and mine.

In reply to Senator Fixwall's article published in the New York Cosiaopofitais Magazine, the same magazine contains a paper contributed by William Waldorf Astor, a member of the plutocratic fan, ily of that name, who has some literary pretensions, and who has devoted his elegant leisure to the production of one or two so-called novels, whose fame has net yet far transcended tlu limits of Mr, Ward McAllister's gilded four hundred, Mr. Astor begins by declaring himself cordially of Senator Farwell' opinion, that the emulation between the two cities should be conducted without bitterness ec partisanship, and thereupon tails to

abasing and vilifying Chicago, tikejai iwiiKl person destitute of breeding .or fairnassV :

and to insulting her business men in a most gratuitous manner. A single quo- ' tation will show the arrosanoe and the impertinence of the dude writer: "Th ' Senator further advances the archttecttvraS magnificence of Chicago' private residences as a logical reason for placing tbe . great Exposition within their aureole. Chicago is the London of America, possessing metropolitan imperialism and worthy of the designation of the young giant of tho . prairies. Its houses, he declares, ar palaces. We know them well, those palaces, al. of which were built with borrowed money, and most of which to-day ore mortgaged from corner-stone to sky light. We know them well, those pajaees, where every sign ot wealth abounds -and where the front door is opened by a housemaid. We know them well, thoso palaces, whose occupants are 'all out oa their doorsteps,' as they used to sit in' New York seventy year ago, when onr "palaces' were built on twenty-five foot front lots, and when social life waa primitive in the extreme. (' Waiving the disreputable insolence, contained in this extract, says the di& -cago Tribune, is this kind of stuff n arv gument for New York against Chicago? Is it anything more than the vaporing oan idle plutocrat, who has been enabled by tho industry ot bla progenitors i skinning sundiy small polar animals, aF' , vending them at largo profits, to hire ft butler to attend' his front door, and who does not consider it in "good form" te tit on his front-door steps ot a summer. evening, as they did? Mr. Astor has a mind above stockbreeding and farm products. "We fatNew York," he says, "conceive the signlB-' -eanoe of this exhibition to be somethuur more than lumber, iron, and live stock.! We have not in mind the agrfoult-ril ' show the Senator meditates.". He doe not want any reminders of horses, . cattle, sheep, bogs, and the great baainess of the country, or the product of the horny-handed fanners, of tha iron,'steel,and metals, of (he cotton of the' South, or the products of the looms, S'.v vils, turning-lathes, laboratories, or tbe inventions of the nation. . ' Such thing would only tend to xq mind him of family traditions and pedigree. They would be strikingly Suggestive ot bear skins, mink skins, beavep skins, oat skins, dog skins, and tbeskhns of skunks and polar rats. The ladder by which he climbed into the fifth -story window must be token down sa that ft may not be seen by the visitorm Wntf Waldorf Astor does not can to be ra arded a the result of the peltry trade,' ut as one of Mr. McAllister s four hundred, who do not sit on their frost door steps of summer oveninjs, and whose housemaids do not answer the,' bells, Chicago' will not cherish any reseat-, ment, however, against Willism Waldorf ' for his desire to conceal the various agencies which have made him the cuhwrna of peltry peddling. On the other hand, . when he comes to Chicago to see th World's Exposition, Chicago will take great pleasur in showing him hides and.' furs in all stages of manufacture, and will escort him to her parks nndintrodtto, him to beavors, buffaloes, seals, bear, foxes, wolves, otters, alligators, and monkeys all wearing the identical kind of skins from the profits of which his great- - grandfather founded the house and tan., y of Astor, and which have enabled hist' to live iu his brown-stone front, 'to pay tho regulation attention to his frontdoor,, and to keep bis family off the front stpa of warm evenings. ' In rsply to Mr. Astor contention tha.' New York is tho only proper place in thta country for tbe holding of tho World's Fa'r, and in answer to life vulgar and impertinent sniffing at Chicago, we have this td say: Mew York is not able k organise and conduct a fair of this kind to a success. She has never had but one fair, and that was a conspicuous failure:;.,. aue viuj sucowhui lair on a large oae. near new lor was neiu in f hifciddlphia. xne new uneans KxbiDition, tnonghne a commote success, waa more aneui than New York's.
