C-ikago, Dec. 10. At 2 p. m.
the attorneys for 'ooth sides were
ijp ;fied hy the judge that a verdict
bad been reached, ind their "at
tendance in conrt was desired.
Suerilf Matson dispatched bailiffs
to conduct the defendants to the
court toom. Some trouble was ex
penenc d in finding all the at
torneys for the defense, and delay
resulted.
At 2:30 the jury entced and
took seats. The verdict of the juty
was as follows :
"We, the jury, find the defend
ant, John T. Bejigs, not guilty.
'We, the jury, find defendant,
John Kunze, guilty of manslaugh
ter, as charged in the indictment,
and fix the punishment at impris
onment in the penitentiary for a
term of three yea. s.
''We, the jury, find the defend
ants, Daniel Couhlin, Pflr'ck
O'Sullivan and Martin Burke,
guilty of murder in the manner and
form as charged in the indictment,
and iix the penalty at imprison
ment in the penitentiary lor the
term of their natural lives."
At the request of the de.'ense the
jury was then polled and reaillrmed
the verdict.
EXCITING CURT-KOOM SCKXK3.
simultaneous with the announce
ment of the verdict, Coughlin,
O'riullivan and Burke turnet
deathly pale, hile Ktinze started
suddenly from his seat and a
moment later d-opped his hcai
upon his breast and burst into
tears. Beggs' face was luminou
with joy and immediately after the
po.ling of the jury he arose from
timid the prisoners and walked
over to the jury i ox, and during
! In eat bless" lull that followed
Shook Foreman Clarke's 1 and
Heartily, and said :
'(Jenilemen, 1 thank you. I
trust my future may confirm your
judgment upon me, and that you
will never regret that you found
me not guiltv of this terrible
charge."
The only sound that broke the
stillness following this was the
deep i-obs oi little Kunze. lie
burst out wit h :
"liod knows I am innocent! I
never was in Lakevie'v that night !
Oh, tied knows 1 am innocent,
gentlemen !"
O'.ullivan was the only one cf
the ether three prisoners wl o
tound reiuge in tears, ror a mo
ment they trickled down his
cheeks, but a minute later hi
black eyes Mashed with defiance or
revival of coinage", and dashing; his
band across his blow he braced up
iu his seat and and cast a longing
glance around the couit room.
The only evidence of terror to be
perceived "in Coughlin was the in
creased pallor that overspread his
face, as lie slowly realized the sig
mli ation of a sentence to life ini-pti-onnoent,
and his lips twitched
rervou.sly during the colloquy
i hat followed between the at
torneys and the cou.t relative to a
motion for a new'trial.
Martin Burke was unquestiona
bly the least affected of all the
piisoners. His usually florid face
took on slight pallor as the verdict
was announced, but a . moment
later his jaws again began their
methodical mastication of gum as
regularly as at any previous time
during the trial.
HOW THE JURY STOOD.
E'even of the jurors were for
hanging Burke, Coughlen and
O'ciullivan, but Culver favored
their acquittal. A compromise &s
above was agreed upon this atter
noon. There was no trouble in ar
riving at a decision in the caseH of
Kunze and Beggs.

londan'a Big Scandal May CauM a
KervlatioB.
Loxnox, Dec 15, It is asserted
that "the West End scandals," as they
are called, may result is upsett'ngnot
only royaltv in the kini'dum, but also
htj rule af the privileged classes i s
well. Iu other words, that jthey will
end in bringing about speedily a re
prblic apou the ruins of the present
monarchy and house ot lords.
The fact that Prince Albert Victor,
eldest son of the Prince of Wales, and
therefore heir to the British throne,
is connected with these scandals,
either personally atid criminally, as is
treely charged, or as is cllicially ad
mitted, by the connection with them
of his intimate friends, of course
make their political effect njest
momentous.
It is the opinion of practically every
thoughtful man in tha kingdom that
when the scandals are fully iuipireif
into by parliament and all the fright
ful details became public property,
either Prince Albert Victor will be
deprived of succession, a proceeding
nlmopt impossible of conjecture, or
that Queen Victoria will he officially
declared tin last monarch of Great
Britain, a.id that a republic will im
mediately succeed upon her death.
THE CHEROKEE OUTLET.
Failure of Negotiations With the
Indiaaa.
Kansas City, Dec. 14 The Jour
nal's Tahlequah (I. T.) special ajs:
The United States commission lias
failed in its negotiations with the
Cberokees for the sle of the Cherokee
outlet, aod will leave far Washington
tomorrow. A committee appointed
by the Chcrokees met the commission
on Monday and asked the latter to re
quest the Government to treat with
the Indians under the section of the
law which allows them to cfier more
than $1 25 per acre for the land.
Several trivia! qucstiors were also
asked.
The etesograpix r of the commission
had the interview. When his report
was transcribed the commissioners re
plied that the questions were t rival,
and that they did not desire to answer
them. The Indians replied that the
stenographic report of the interview
was incorrect and' had been 'alsified
by the stenographer.
The commission made answer that
the charge was a deliberate falsehood.
and notified the Indians that all nego
tiations were at ad end so far as the
present commission was concerned. ,
A e aanal note wtfl sent to each mem
ber ot the Indian committee, charg
ing each with deliberate falsehood,
and informing each that the allegation
against the lady stenographer was as
contemptible as it was false. 1ms
correspondence has caused great ex
citement. A delegation of fun-bloods
caied on the commit ien this evening
and told them that all the full-bloods
were willing to sell at $1 25 pel acre.

tree, a family consisting of a man, is
wife and three childred, have taken
up their residence. A few days ago
a hunter was attracted to the spot by
the sound of voices, and, approaching,
he found the family. To close the
oprning in the tree a rude door had
ben constructed of deerskins. Inside
the tree benches and tables had been
constructedjof redwood bark, (fastened
together by wooden pins. The head
of the family stated that he came
from Oregon last, fill and not being

his family iuto this living home. He

iioccal Correspondence.!
WASHINGTON, Uec. O. l oiimaster
General Wauamaker proposes to use
ah of the influence at his command to
assist Senator Paddock in ge'.ting his
bill "passed, "which' provide tor re--lieving
the Kail Mail Service from the
operation of the civil Seryice iaw.
The bill which has already been in
troduced in the Senate, stands a good
show of passing, .and Borne people
think that Senator Vance's bill lor
the repeal of the entire civil service
law may also be passed. Speaking -f
the civil service Jaw Senator Paddock
says: "I look upon the system s a
humbug, which in its operation per
verts the main idea of a republican
form of government." Senator Vance
says on the same subject: "It i
losing strength in both parties, be
cau: i it has given no results that are
creditable."
The nrst week of its existence Con
gress did li.tle else but organize, and
there is little probability that it will
get tairly down to busncss until alter
the Curistmas recess. Very little
can be done in the liouse before the
committees arc appointed, and if
Speaker Reed announces them lefore
the holidays he will do well better
tnau the most of his predecessors.
A vigorous attempt is to be made
to get Congress to take up and decide
the mestion of the Columbus World'"
Exposition befere Christmas. It it is
to be held in 1892, time is getting
precious.
Senator kdmuntls, aitnougn not op
posed to holding an Exposition to
celebrate the tour hundredth anni
versary of the discovery of America,
would prefer seeing the money spent
in establishing a great National Uni
versity. The National wool groweis associa
tion, which was in session here last
week, sent a committee to Secretary
Wiudoni ti protest against certain
practices relating to the admissiou of
certain classes ol wool. The St ci
tary informed the committee that he
was now engaged in making an in
vestigation of this subject, and assured
thm that full justice would be oouc
to the wool interests of the Ui nod
States.
Secretary Noble has given permis
sion to 35 Stuux Indian chiefs to visit
Washington. They want to talk te
the President about the sale of tmir
lands, which they have receutly
agreed to. They are expected here
next week.
Speaker Reed has announce. tho
Committees on Rules, which may
virtually b: said to control all legisla
titn.cn'isistii; of Speaker Reed, Repre
sentatives McXinley and Cannon, and
ex-Speakers Carlisle and Randall.
Secretary Windoni's annual report
to Coi.gress wtruld have made his re
putation as one of the ablest financiers
in the country, if he had net been so
rated before. It is a document that"
the ablest of bis predecessors would
haw been justified in feeling proud
of. Its crowning feature is the origi
nal and lugeuioue system it proposes
as a so'ution ot the never ending con
neversy between the friends of sold
aad silver as a basis tor currency.
rery body is talking about it, and
doubtless those Congressmen viio
pride themselves on their financial
knowledge are burning the midnight
oil stndying it. Whether it will tie
adopted is a question that cannot be
answered off handed. No public man
who values his reputation would com
mit himself for or agaicst such an :m
portant measure without long and
careful study. The President in bis
message, merely calls the attention of
Coi gress te it, and adds that he Biay
at a later day send in a special mes
sage on the subject.
