Chicago, Nov. 23. The second week of the John R. Walsh trial ended yesterday afternoon with a scries of explosions, which cleared the situation a good deal, but resulted in burnt fingers for some of the lawyers. Frederick W. McLean, former assistant cashier of the Chicago National bank, was on the witness stand nearly all day, proving by a tedious process that the twenty-seven memorandum notes found in the bank were made out and signed by him, various names being used at the direction of Walsh, and that the notes never were really paid when they came due, but pimply were renewed by other notes on the came collateral. Mr. McLean also testified that the proceeds of each note went to Walsh's credit on a cashier's check. McLean, was interrupted every few minutes by lawyers for the defense and it looked as If it would take until Christmas time to complete his examination. Finally, in the middle of the afternoon, a blanket question was framed up by the lawyers in conference, to be answered by McLean Monday morning. It was a time saving

device and Assistant District Attorney Robert W, Childs confined himself after that to proving simply the origin-, al notes and the fact that they were found in the bank when it closed. Object to AdniUslon of Notes. Mr. Childs was proceeding along this line when another argument arose over an objection by Attorney John S. Miller to the admission of three notes made more than three years ago. "Let thd government show what they are for," said Mr. Miller, after the court asked for light. "They are a part of the endless chain system used by Walsh to defraud the Chicago National bank," said Assistant United States District Attorney Fletcher Dobyns. "They show the criminal practice of this defendant in building up his own interests at the expense of the bank." "I will let the notes go In," said the court. "The question about this whole thing is whether the defendant took the monev that belonged to tha bank and

gave it to some one else." "Wrongfully?" said Mr. Miller. "And gave it to some one else," said Judge Anderson with emphasis. "I want to make an additional objection," he said; "and I think Mr. Dobyns will agree with me that the bank never lost a dollar by these notes." "No no, I do not agree with you!" cried Mr. Dobyns. "The bank was ruined and wrecked by these transactions, and we will prove ' "That will do," said the Judge. "That is not proper before the Jury." More questions of McLean, and then Attorney E. A. Ilamill arose. "Is this testimony competent, your honor," he asked, "when the government knows that the bank never lost a cent?" "The government says it will show the bank lost," said the court. "Mr. Dobyns says so, but we know " began Mr. Ilamill. "I object to this stump speech to the jury!" shouted Mr. Dobyns. "I will put an end to this," said the court. "During the past I have thought that the objections of counsel were made in good faith, and that this defendant had a right to be heard, but this has been carried too far. Proceed with the questions. We will have no more talk." Mr. Childs asked another question. Mr. Ilynes arose with an objection. "How many times do you think you have to object to the same question, Mr. Haynes?" asked the court. "There is too much time taken up in talking. I will put a stop to it some way." Tolls Defense to Appeal. After several objections from Mr. Miller the court said:

"Mr. Miller, you know cut a bill of exceptions, so much time?"

The court adjourned shortly after this. The jurors looked relieved. Some

of them had been asleep apparently

Washington, D. C, Nov. 22. A most important conference relating to the currency situation and the means to be taken for its immediate and permanent relief occurred tonight at the White house. J. Pkrpont Morgan and George F. Raker, president of the First National bank of New York, came to Washington this evening in compliance with an invitation from the president.

i nor to their call at the White house the two financiers conferred with Secretary Cortelyou. Then, in companv . . . t t . i . i . a - .

wmi Jvoocri isacon, assistant secretary of state, they visited the president. The conferences Mr. Morgan had both with the . resident and Secretary Cortelyou related in part to the distribution of the 3 per cent certificates of indebtedness and the disposition of the money which the government will derive from the sale of these notes. It is of the greatest importance that large sums be provided in the west and south for the movement of crops. Mr. Cortelyou today made an official announcement as to the policy he intends to pursue to achieve this result. Iesnge One of Toplcx. Rut vast sums remain tied up in the New York banks, and the administration and Mr. Morgan as well Is most anxious to secure its return to normal channels of business.

Morgan Kind to See President. When Mr. Morgan. Mr. Raker, and Mr. Racon left the White house they were surrounded by newspaper correspondents, to whom Mr. Morgan said, in response to questions, that he came over to Washington at the investigation of the president and that he was glad to come and to pay his respects. He had just such a talk, he said, as he had had with Secretary Cortelyou last week and the week before, but refused to go into details as to the conference. Mr. Morgan added that there had, of course, been a discussion of the means of relief which the government had un-

dertaKen, or the distribution or currency, and kindred matters.

The situation, he thought, was en

couraging, and the government meas

ures were doing a great deal Of good.

Morgan Make No Suggestion. Mr. Morgan said he had a talk with

Secretary Cortelyou before going to the White house. Mr. Cortelyou did not

take part in the conference between

the president and the New Y'ork financiers.

In reply to a direct question, Mr.

Morgan said that he had not. himself, suggested to the president any plan of permanent relief for the money situation through legislation.

Senator Lodge was in the White

house part of the time the conference

was in progress, but it is not known

Mr. Raker, and Mr. Racon.

The convention which will frame the platform to carry this issue, and which is expected to nominate Mr. Bryan for the third time, may be held at Denver, Chicago or Louisville. The only official purpose of the meeting of the committeemen today was to determine where and when the national committee shall meet to fix the date and place of the convention. They did so by deciding that the committee should meet in Washington on Dee. 12. Although this was the only business of official nature transacted, the com

mitteemen, representing pretty thoroughly the middle west and parts of

the east, went over the entire political

situation, and concluded to their own

satisfaction that the only issue on which they could meet the republican organization would be the tariff. This

idea was expressed in the closed conference by Committeeman T. E. Ryan

of Wisconsin.

"Within a short period we were lined some $421,000 for infractions of the many regulations with which we have recently been hedged about.

Manila, Nov. 23. Both houses of the legislature the Philippine commission and the assembly have agreed that the delegates to Washington shall be Pablo Oeampo and Benito Legarda. The houses voted separately under an agreement that each house would select a candidate each should ratify the other's choice. This agreement was reached after a long discussion In joint session. I.egnrda Once Tnft'si Guest. Benito Legarda has been a member of the commission since 1901. He is one of the wealthiest Filipinos in the islands, interested In manufacturing enterprises and a large property owner. He was educated a broad and has visited the United States on several occasions. Last year he was Secretary Taft's guest at Washington. He entered the Malolos congress of 1S90, but took no active part in the revolution. Oeampo was editor of a radical newspaper in 1S9S. He was exiled to the island of Guam for his share in the revolution, but took the oath of allegiance to the Unite States, and re

At the same time, it was pretty gen

erally agreed that Mr. Bryan would

have to forget his recent utterances

regarding government ownership. None of the committeemen present could find It in himself to agree with Mr. Bryan

in this doctrine.

See Chance for Victory.

In their informal discussion during

the meeting, the committeemen were of

one opinion in thinking that there was

a netter cnance ror tne election or a democratic president next year than the

party had had in several elections.

At tne same time it had been ex

pected that if William Roth of Chi

tee endeavoring to raise funds to take

the convention there, had been success

ful in getting the desired amount prom

ised he would he here to tea the com

mittee so. He neither came nor sent

word and the committeemen jumped

to the somewhat natural conclusion that he had been unsuccessful in raising the promises and Chicago's chances

of securing the meeting tell off con

siderably. Favor Denver for Convention.

Among the men here the idea of sending the convention to Denver is re

ceived favorably, even enthusiasticallv

Denver has an energetic booster In the person of Charles F. Wilson, who represents John L. Mullins. the committeeman. Mr. Wilson realizes that Denver is embarrassed geographically, but he has more than made up this disadvantage by his promises regarding the climate and the amount of the fund Denver is willing to raise to secure the convention. A delegation from Cincinnati, headed by John L. Shuff. knocked for admission and made a little talk. St. Paul, Atlantic City, Kansas City, and St. Louis are among the applicants for the convention, but if the party leaders

present today reflect the sentiment of the entire committee the only four cities in the running are Denver, Chicago, Louisville and Kansas City.

New York, Nov. 22. The rush of for

eign laborers back to their homes in Europe, which began in noticeable volume about three weeks ago, has reached such proportions that the steamshin

companies at this and other ports have serious trouble to provide accommoda

tions for the homegoing. Hundreds

who wanted to sail yesterday were j unable to find a berth and many who wished to sail Saturday have to wait

for next Wednesday's steamers.

This week all the big transatlantic

lines raised the steerage rate from

$21 to $33. but this had no effect on the demand for tickets. In fact, the demand increased.

A representative of the steerage de

partment of the Hamburg-American line said 25,000 foreigners in this coun

try now are leaving this port alone every week for Europe. He estimated $5,000,000 is being taken abroad weekly by these returning immigrants in cash or drafts on foreign countries. The Fabre line found it necessary to provide accommodations in various parts of the city for 200 steerage passengers who wanted to sail on the Madonna, which left for Mediterranean ports on Wednesday with 1.4S0 in the steerage. Five hundred more staid here, but 300 got abroad other ships. Two hundred will have to remain over for the Venezia, which sails next Wednesday with 1,890 Eteerage passengers already booked. The Arabic sailed Thursday with 1.100. The steam

ship Main of the North German Lloyd sailed Thursday loaded to its full capacity. The steamer Batavia took 2,599, and the Pretoria, sailing for Hamburg tomorrow, will carry 2,500. The Oceanic went on Wednesday with 1,400 Italians, Servians, and Lithuanians. The largest number to go on one steamer so far will be 3,200, on the

President Grant, sailing on W ednesday next for Hamburg. Its steerage passengers will be composed mostly of Russians, Poles, and Hungarians. The St. Paul of the American line will sail tomorrow with 900, its full capacity. The Caronia and Kaiser Wllhelm II. will take 700 and 1.000 steerage passengers. On Wednesday next the Cambronian will carry out 1,000; 1.350 more ore booked to sail on the Zeeland of

the Red Star line. The Republic will carry 2,300. Immigrant Train of Twelve Car. One immigrant train over the New Jersey Central at midnight yesterday was made up of twelve cars. The passengers numbered 90. They lin-'i up ten deep for a block long in front oi the Jersey ferry house. There were not half a dozen women in the whole multitude. Most of these people came from districts in Pennsylvania, where

Madrid. Nov. 23. The king of Portugal lsas banished the Crown Prince Louis to Villa Vicoso, a royal residence in an isolated part cf Portugal, 100 miles from Lisbon. This step was taken in consequence of the crown prince remonstrating with his father against the dictatorial

regime carried cfn by Senor Franco, the prime minister, with the king's assent and support. The crown xrince, whose antagonism to the dictatorship was well known, represented to his father the lnadvisability of continuing the present method of government, which, he said, is turning Portugal into a hot-bed of repulicans and anarchists. and which might end in the overthrow of the monarchy. King Carlos, greatly incensed, ordered the crown prince into what, is practically exile from the capital.

The king's action has caused a great sensation throughout the country. It is declared that the crown prince is under the Influence of the conservatives, who are led by Senator Vilhena

The situation in Portugal, which has been described as growing worse during the last few weeks, has become threatening, according to dispatches.

The popular antagonism to the dicta torship has been growing dangerously and the conservatives are making com men cause with the republicans.

An accidental explosion of bombs the other day, by which two physicians and

A illard hall by Miss Marie C. Brehrn

president of the state union. "If the men of the city of Chicago," said she, "will only have the good sense next Sunday to spend in barber shops and baths and for much needed personal adornment the thousands of dollars that they throw away fgr drinks in saloons, then there will be thousands of Chicago wives who will kiss their husbands for the first ttmi In many months, perhaps many years." Other speakers were Mrs. Frances P.eauchamp of Kentucky; the Rev. G. C. Ulmer, Upland, Ind.; Mrs. Emily M. Hill. Miss Harriet Zoll, the Rev. C. P.

Hard, the Rev. Carrie T. Parkinson, and Mrs. K. L. Wolfe.

A resolution denouncing thd McFar-

land-Herman prizefight as "a beastlv.

shameful and brutal exhibition srlven

under the eyes of a governor's militia men," was adopted.

It was an "all day" rally, and Wlllard hall rang from the forenoon until dusk with orations, prayers, and temperance "battle" songs. No fewer than five collections were taken up for var. ious phases of temperance work.

Des Moines, la., Nov. 22. The civil officers of Scott county are to be brought to an accounting for their failure to stop last night's prize fight in Davenport. Capt. O. "U". Kulp was placed under military arrest today and will be tried by courtmartial within eight days. Gov. Cummins has appointed Maj. Johnson of the Fifty-third regiment at Macquoketa as judge advocate general of the courtmartial. The court will sit at Des Moines and probably its hearings will be public, this point to be determined by the court. Capt. Kulp will be served with written charges, which Gov. Cummins has directed Col. Logan, assistant adjutant

general, to prepare. It is expected at the governor's ofnee that some citizens of Davenport will appear to complain against the sheriff and mayor of that city for not enforcing the law. In case such a complaint is lodged. Attorney General Byers will proceed to the work of removing the accused men men from office for not stopping the

fight. Proceedings of this character will be brought before the presiding

judge of the district.

It is understood that Capt. Kulp's sole defense will be that there was no prize fight in Davenport. It is the question of both Gov. Cummins and Adjt. Gen. Thrift that the contest was a fight, but that whether it was or was not, their orders to Kulp permitted no discretion on his part, but demanded implicit obedience. Indignation In the state bodes ill for Davenport for its defiance of the laws of the state Gov. Cummins has received already many assurances of support for a policy Intended to make an example of thise responsible for last night's

events.

New York, Nov. 22. "I am angry at Howard Gould and his attorneys. They have put me to a great inconvenience by compelling me to testify about what I know of Kathrino Clemmons'

friendship for Colonel Cody, after I had been led to believe that it was

perfectly safe for me to come to this country without being subjected to

this humiliation."

Miss Helen Mar, the entertainer,

whose testimony is supposed to be the

strongest link in the chain of evidence

upon which Mr. Gould hopes to get a

Our friendship was close, and we naturally exchanged a great many confidences. That Colonel Cody, known as 'Buffalo Rill," was her close friend was not secret at the time.
