JURY ROOM SECRETS
The Cronin Affair to he Give"
to the Public.
PREPARING A PAIR STATEMENT
A
Juror Who is Thoroughly Disgusted
With the Present System-
Followed to His Home and Asked to
Hang the Suspects Things Happened
that Should Not Have Happeued A
Hint that Gave an Idea of the Oatsfde
Feeling: Bribers to De Tried.
Chicago, Dec. 21. "A statement of
all that transpired in the jury room will
be prepared in a day or two," said Ju
ror Bontecu this morning', "and then
the public will know just what oc
curred." "Will the statement be signed by the
twelve jurymen?"
"By eleven, not twelve. One of the
jurymen 1 won't say who is now en
gaged in getting expressions from the
rest of the jurors regarding a statement
to the public. Five, including myself,
have already agreed to the proposition,
and I know from my acquaintance with
the rest that they will be pleased to
give the public the full facts.
"I'll tell you one thing,", he added.
"And that is that I am thoroughly dis
gusted with the jury system of this
State. I hope this case will stir up
such a commotion and talk that it will
all end in a change of the law. The
jury system compelling unanimity on a
case is simply rotten."
Mr. liontecu gave some interesting
reminiscences of the nearly three
months of jury service. "The bailiffs
kept pretty close to us all the time," he
said. "biftr occasionally things happened
that should not have happened. For
instance, I was allowed to go home and
see my wife several times. On one of
these occasions a very prominent man
managed to get close enough to me to
say without the bailiff hearing it, 'Now,
do your duty and hang every one of
em. On another occasion another
frieritt of one of the jurors, who got
close enough, said to him, 'If you don't
hang 'em all we ll give it t you. Now,
of course, we ought not to have heard
that, although it did not influence us
one way or another, but it gave us an
idea of the feeling outside."
Cronin Jury ltribers to be Tried.
- Chicago, Dec. 21. It is stated that
in the trial of the men charged with at
tempting to bribe the jury in the Cronin
case the principal witness will bo the
chief clerk of a man suspected of being

Scheme that Is Exciting the Citizens &
PIttsfield, Mass.
PiTTSFncLD, Mass., Dec. 21. Dr. Oil
man Colby, editor of the "Bar Har'aor
Tourist," came to Pittsfleld a mouth
igo and announced that he would
hortly publish a blue-book containing
a
history of the town and giving the
rating in each case of individual, prom
inent in social, religious, literary and
financial circles.
The town is greatly stirred now be
cause everybody has received a pros
pectus of the book announcing its scope
ana hogging for subscriptions at $2
each. Each envelope contains also a
proof-sheet slip giving the name and
residence of the recipient, followed by
vniiHwrtras stars, daggers, dollar para
graph and section marks, and a note
saying "your name will appear as above
in the book, which will contain an in
dex explaining the significance of the
signs."
ine best people of the town deem the
whole thing insulting, if not libelous,
and local papers are filled with commu
nications denouncing the scheme, and

intruder. Some of the most prominent
men propose holding an - indignation
meeting, to pass resolutions expressing
".ontempt of Colby and his methods.

on Account of the Conversions. .
Bedford,,. Pa., Dec. 2i.-rOne of the

ress in the Methodist Church. Under
the direction of the pastor, the Rev. M.
Li. bniyser, more than 150 conversions
have been had in less than six-iriOnths.
So great is the interest in the com
munity that theater troupes are giving
the town the go-by, and such an influ
ence has the revival on the other
churches that a joint letter has been
addressed to Mr. Smyser by the pastors
of the other churches asking him to
call a halt. The writers declare their
unbelief in Methodist revivals, and as
sert that people are influenced by ex
citement of feeling and by persuasion.
The Methodists, and other people or
the town generally, in the churches
and out of them, are up in arms against
the signers of the letter.

BRAZIL TREMBLING
Serious Obstacles in the Way of
the Revolutionists.
TROUBLE AMONG THE SOLDIERY
Many Arrests Being Made and a Oensorshir
Placed on the Telegraph.
Portugal's Proposition for a Combination
With Spain Portuguese .Republicans
Uelleve that the. Time Has Coma to
Declare Themselves A Manifesto to be
Issued Editor O'Jirion at Liberty.
London, Dec. 21. Private dispatches
from Rio Janeiro continue to indicate
that the situation in Brazil is extreme
ly precarious, and that the -leaders of
the republican movement were either
not entirely certain of their ground in
the deposition of Dom Pedro or that
they are now unable to cope with the
new political questions which confront
them.
The trouble seems to lie chiefly
imong the soldiery, in spite of the fact
that they ranged themselves voluntar
ily on the side of the revolutionists.
Many arrests have been made and
more are going on. and the Provincial
Government is doing its utmost to hold
its ground. Exact lacts are difficult to
obtain, however,-on account of the cen
sorship of the telegraphs.
PORTUGAL'S PLAN.
A Combination With Spain to Make a
United Republic.
London, Dec. 21. It is asserted that
the Portuguese monarch and his min
isters, finding that the tide of public
opinion irresistibly in the direction of
a republic, although they emphatically
deny that this is the case, have lately
had recourse to secret communication
with the Spanish republican leadees,
laying before them a proposition to
merge Spain and Portugal into a homo
geneous republic, with Senor Castelar
as President and a ministry composed
of Spanish and Portuguese statesmen
in equal numbers. This proposition, it
is alleged, embodies the conditions that
the Portuguese reigning familyshall be
permitted to reside in Portugal or else
where at will, and that the civil list
shall be continued; any concession
.which may be made to tha royal family
of Hpain to be settled wholly by the
fc-panish republicans.
It is further stated that in the event
of the successful issue of the foregoing
scheme Portugal will abandon her dis
puted possessions in Africa, or all of
lier territory on tnat continent 11 need
be, as the price of non-interference with
the establishment of the new republic.
A Manifesto for an Uprising.
Lishon, Dec. 21. The Portuguese re
publican leaders have decided to issue
a manifesto setting lortn tnat tne pres
ent is an auspicious time to take effect
ive steps to abolisn tne monarchy.
SMITH AND SLAVIN.
The Fighters Now Quarrelling Over a
Krivolons Objection.
London, Doc. 21. The Smith-Slavin
prize-fight hangs fire, although the
jirincipals are in active training and
tne .whole sporting world is excited
over it and looking for secret informa-
iion of the time aud place.
The hitch now is caused by Jem
Smith, who objects to Slavin's choice of
a referee, and he calls upon the stock
holders to appoint one. -
.The objection is regarded as frivolous.
It is thought that the fighters are not
in earnest, and doubt is felt whether
the fight will come off.
One thing is sure that if the meeting
does take place it will not be near Lile,
as has been reported.
THIRTEEN MISSING.
riie Steamer I'rin Willielin Sunk in a Col
lision With a Saillug Vessel.
London, Doc. 21. The steamer

the boats, and twenty-eight of them
landed at Boulogne. A boat containing
thirteen men is missing.
Dom Pedro a Thorn to Portugaf.
Lisbon, Dec. 21. The Portuguese
Government is anxious for Dom Pedro
to leave Portugal. The calmness with
which the people of Brazil accept the
overthrow of the empire andtthe estab
lishment of the Republic encourages
the radicals of Lisbon to believe that
they will eventually achieve a quiet
and bloodless revolution in Portugal.
JCnglish Dictation Distasteful.
Lisbon. Dec. 21. The Portuguese
Government is agitating for the hold
ing of an international Congress- for the
settlement of the questions which have

PHILADELPHIA OPPOSITION.
Commercial Men Trying to Secure
the
Furness One of Steamships.
Baltimore, Md., Dec. 21. Mr. Fut
voye, the Baltimore agent of the Fur
ness line of steamships, has received a
telegram from the president of the
Philadelphia produce exchange offering
the support of the commercial men of
that city if the line will establish it
self there, and negotiations of some
description are going on witn the Penn
sylvania Railroad people for pier room
at Baltimore.
The Furness agency has contracted
for 10,000 tons of flour which will go to
Newport News instead of Baltimore,
and four steamers will take the flour to
Europe. Mr. Futvoye, who is an Eng
lishman, says an English railroad com
pany could not "freeze out" a steam
ship enterprise. A story that has ap
parently good basis is. that Baltimore
and Ohio interests have $5,000,000 in
another steamship line, and that the
railroad company will stand by it to the
exclusion of competitors. ;

Newbukgh, N. Y., Dec. 21. A de
spatch has been received here by J. F.
Tucker, Secretary of the Newburgh

tion that Paulsen had challenged
Joseph Donohue, of Newburgh. the
present amateur champion of the world,
to skate for the world's championship
and a purse of from $5,000 to $10,000.
As Paulsen is a professional and
Donohue an amateur, the match will
not be made. Donohue is now at Minne
apolis, where he is to take part in the
amateur races at the forthcoming car
nival. Will Prefer Charges Against Naval Officers
Syracuse, N. Y., Dec. 21. Under

from the Secretary of the Navy, which
also contained instruction to them to
assist Mr. McCarthy in his mission of
obtaining the remains.

Taunton, Mass., Dec. 21. Judge Fox

ony freight train near Raysham, De
