Cole , the disgraced president o the National Dank of Coming , was collet upon to plead. His plea was not entcrci until later In the day , and when first called his attorneys notified the court that they would plead for him. When tbo plea was finally entered It was not guilty.

Lucius Wells , who was on the stand' | when the court closed on the previous evening , was not recalled when the trial o the case was resumed , but Herman Parr , a former motorman , was placed on the stand He I testified that as late an 0:20 : o'clock on the evening of the fire , when he backed his train on the "Y" north of the triangular piece of land where the Milwaukee employes hac started the rubbish fire , there was still plenty of fire visible , and that the wind was blowing sparks across the tracks in front of his car and carrying them In the direction of the Wler-Shugart wooden warchouss across the street , where the flro first broke out. He testified that the wind was blowing quite strongly from the southwest at the time When the attorneys for the defendant came to croEs-examlno him his attention was callc < to a written statement signed by hlmsel which contradicted almost every word of bis testimony. He was shown the signature on the paper and promptly Identified , It as hie own and admitted that he signed It at the ofilco of Wright & Baldwin shortly after the fire. In explanation of the contradictions ho declared that he did not Intend that the paper he signed should contain such state mcnts. Parr got considerably tangled In hla evidence before ho left the witness chair. The remainder of the day was devoted to proving the value of ths property destroyed This was done by going over the Inventory taken shortly before the fire and at the close of tbo year's business. Lucius Wells and C. E. Parsons , the bookkeeper , wire the chief witnesses. There Is some prospec that the case will be completed next week. ChrltiUaii Aiiiilvcrxiiry.

Bragg Is no nearer a solution now than It was when It was first reported to the police. Mrs. Bragg's condition Is now such that unless unexpected complications set In she will probably recover , "Late thla evening Josephine Bragg was relented from custody , OR no evidence Impli cating the girl In the shooting could be ad duced , nnd Mrs. Bragg steadfastly refused to connect her with the affair. Aftsr her re lease the girl went to St. Lu lie's hospital , whore her foster mother Is being cared for , and remained there for several hours. Th ? Interview at the hospital wns rather a dra matic ono and showed clearly that Mrs. Bragg suspected the girl of the crime. After short conversation , Mrs. Bragg aald : "You will have to take one way In life after this , Josephine , and I'll take another. " The girl did not leave life bedside when her mother had several times repented , "That's nil , Josle. " Then she was led away , Mrs. Bragg afterwards said to the detectives ; "I'm afraid Joule did not come to me as soon as she might this morning. I think there Is something wrong there. As soon as was shot I felt for Joule , but she was not the bed. The placing of that pistol on the cupboard , the moving of the furniture wcro suspicious. Strange , very strange.

CHICAGO , March f2. The Times-Herald tomorrow publishes the following : An ef fort Is to be made to effect a permanent amalgamation of the factions which were allied In the support of W. , J. Bryan. Sev eral conferences have recently been lield In Chicago , at which the ( situation was dis cussed and a decision reached that some steps should bo taken to prevent the threat ened disruption of what may be termed the reform forces. The April number of "New Occasions , " a radical magazine published In Chicago , voices the sentiment of those who have been In conference In an address which calls for the abandonment of old party lines and a reorganization under the name of the American party. The editorial proposes a novel method of forming a party platform and organization. It suggests that : At noon of the 4th * of next July , the American people meet In their respective townships , precincts or voting places am1 organize by voting precincts all over the United States. Each precinct should elect one representative to a congressional con ventlon to be hold a few days later. Each precinct should also perfect a permanent organization. With .the congressional con ventions ono representative should be chosen as a member of the people's congress. He should bo selected , not for his oratorical ability , but for his capacity to think. Select men who are willing to abide by the will of the majority , and having selected them , pledge ourselves to abide by the result of their combined wisdom , This congress of 357 men , with delegates from the territories , ' should meet at some central point and organize. Its meetings should bo public. Its people's congress should emulate rules of procedure and , after a general discussion , map out a plan of work. This work should bo done by com mittees. Tbo various questions and prob lems now before the people should bo sub- mlttcd to carefully selected committees and , pending their Investigations and reports , the convention should adjourn subject to the call $ of the president. These committees should hear testimony , conduct systematic Investl gallons and carefully draft reports to the convention. These reports would then bo referred to the convention for rejection , amendment or approval and finally formu- alcd as the expression of the convention. Tills would constitute the platform and ! l declaration of the American party. It would , HI subject to amendment or revision at fu- . uro nominating conventions or In such man- . tor oil the congress might provide. Copies of this proposed plan have been J nailed to the various national commltteemen and leaders of the different organizations , and If the responses are favorable a confer cnco will bo held In Chicago at an early date and a definite plan of action agreed upon , soi.mim IN JAIIJ FOR Munnisu.

( Special Tele gram. } The houec today adopted an amend ment to the Insurance laws that Is expected to bo the last blow at the state combine on rates. A year ago , a bill was passed , to prohibit the companies combining to use the same agreed rates. Before that the Iowa alliance had prepared a rate bool : which all Ilia companies were bound to use on penalty of fine. The law was dodged by a tacit agreement among the companies to use a rate hook which illcnry IJcnnett of Cedar Rapids should prepare and sell , hla business being nominally private. The re sult was that the law was avoided , The amendment adopted today prohibits the sellIng - Ing of any rate book , It Is also provided that the Insured may recover his premium If the company Is found to bo In any com bine. County mutuals will be allowed to operate In adjoining counties. The senate spent the day on HID revenue bill. Almost the entire day was given to debate of the section relating to the taxa tion of building and loan associations. The commission section was finally adopted , after a long debate. It provides that all shares of stock shall bo taxed and that the secretary of each association In January of each year shall certify to the state auditor a list of all stockholders , the state auditor In turn to certify to the county auditors so that they will bo assessed. The lobby bill practically exempted all building and loan stock from taxation. In the senate Healy of Webster county was named as senate member of the joint com mittee to Investigate state Institution ! ! under the Kearney resolution , which had such varied experience getting through the houses. Morrlam and Porter are the house members. The committee will meet In a few days and plan for Its work , which will ho done after the adjournment of the session. All the Institutions will bo examined as to their accounto , expenses of conduct , plans of management , the question of whether trus tees and regents make more money than they should out of their positions , etc. Hcaly Is a pronounced believer In a state board of control and Iho belief Is common that the work of the committee will end In the recommendation of the state board Idea , which Is fast gaining ground In the as sembly.

How many people who travel In trains , asks a London paper , over think of the cost of of running them ? It will probably surprise moat people who have traveled from London In to Edinburgh to know that every mile of the journey costs th ? railway company over half crown. The cost of the whole Journey from the English to the Scotch capital Is 50. The average cost of running a train In England lu Z shillings 7 pence per mile , so that , the faro being reckoned at 1 penny per mile , a train with leta than thirty-one passengers for each mlle Is run at a loss. Tiore ! are few trains , however , that do not carry more than this number of passengers , and many of them carry the number doubled , many times over. It U necessary frequently run trains that do not pay usually In pam thinly Inhabited country districts hut for paT. every train run at a loss , probably , 100 are T. run at an enormous profit. fete ' Take , for Instance , the Journey from Lon to don to Edinburgh , which costs the railway tomi company 60 , The average number of miml "through" I passengers In these trains Is en probably sixty. In which case the total fares would be nearly 100 a clear gain of nearly CCO , When It Is remembered that these trains run several times a day , and every day In the vear , It will bo understood what an enormous revenue a single line yields In the course of TI twelve months. Supposing the average mini- 8Cl jcr of passengers to be sixty , the midnight mall from London to Edinburgh yields over 20,000 for dividend In a year ! The longest railway Journey In the United Kingdom would probably be from 1'cnzanc ? Cornwall to Tliuraa In the north of Scot land , a distance of over 1,000 mllea. A train mining between tlieoo two places would i ixlmust an ordinary clerk's salary for a vhole year , the cost being no less than 138. train from London to Manchester Involves outlay of about 25 , and the "through" .rain to Aberdeen ccsts nearly 70. It costs ver 20,000 a year to run the mall between pr London and Aberdeen , exclusive of taxes , atcs , government duty , etc , , which sum up more than 3,000. evi I in inmi mi Three Krlendx HiiilM for Cnhn. tin JACKSONVILLE , Kin. , March 12 , The itcamer Three KrlcndH Is reported to 1mve eft Itodrlguez Key , ninety miles eoutli of Miami , with a largo expedition for Cubi. : I'he Three Friends has a deputy murshiil I board , or did have , and unless lie huu eft the utenmer ho him been taken along. we I'ho IIIK O , C' .

" The question wns ably discussed nt Temple Isrncl last evening by Habbl Lee Krnnklln , \vlio reached a very positive ucgntlvo con clusion. His discourse was In the nature of n practical exposition of iho position which the Jew occupies In tlio world today , and It waa largely aimed at n specified class of Jewish people , who appear .isluuu-d of their ancestral faith. In beginning Hov. Mr. Franklin ald that ovcrj ; man was n eunimary of thn thoughts , feelings , emotion- ) and aspirations uf his ancestors. Ho could no more detach him self from his past than the outlet uf a river could cut loose from Its headwater * . Some men \\oro superior to their past , but that was n matter of Individuality. Ho might bo better or worse than these who had iono ; before him , but In any case thn past still maintained Its Influence over him. The truth of this proposition was nowhere qulto so evident as when It was tested In the light of Jewish history. The Jew of today lived In n different world from that of his fathers. They were objects of ridicule. Ho was a man among men , as free as the freest of God's creatures. They wcro deprived of every advantage of refinement and education , whllo to htm the doors of the colleges and uni versities wcro open. These had not been without their Influence on his character. Instead of cringing before a world of mas ters ho stood up proudly with the best of his felloue. Hut with all this there was a chain that Irrevocably bound the Jew to his past. Ho might deny the nniiiu of Jew , he might oven dcsplso the faith of his fathers , but he could not escape the Inllucnco of his past. SOME WOULD DENY TUB FAITH. The speaker said that there was n certain class of people of Jcwlah extraction who would deny the faith of their fathers If they could. Uut unfortunately for Judaism they could not. It was ouch men as these who be lieved that It was a misfortune to bo born a Jew. The question was whether their position was well founded. He was an Amer ican In America , n German In Germany and a Frenchman In Franco. Ho was n citizen of the place where he made his home. Ho represented simply and solely a religious community. Judaism was a phase of religious \ thought. The Jew was distinct from other men In his conception of the manner In which ho should approach his God , and as ho with other men approached nearer the truth both ho and they would approach nearer the essential elements of Judaism. The question was then asked whether this difference In religion was sufficient to con stitute a misfortune. If a long1 line of an cestry was a distinction , Judaism was pre eminently entitled to claim It. It antedated all other religions. It was the mother of religions and Christianity and Islamlsm had alike sprung from It. It could look back through an unbroken line of centuries and see the achievements It had wrought. And they had been bloodless victories. There was no record of rapine and persecution for the Jew had always been the martyr. The speaker then cited the home life of the Jew , his moral rectitude and his ad mitted philanthropy as additional reasons why ho should not regard his birth as a mis fortune. There would doubtless ahyays bo some ( Jews who would deny their nativity , but the great mass of the people would bo true to the God of their fathers. WHITE HOUSE SCKAIM1OOKS. Interesting : KccnrilH Which Every I'rcMltleiit Curried Avrny with lHm. , Among the things which every president carries away from tbo whlto house with him , writes n Washington correspondent , Is a set of scropbooks containing the clippings. , edi torial and news items concerning the ad ministration during Its history. The work selecting these clippings Is the greater part of the duty of one clerk nt $2,000 a year < ; the books in which they are pasted are the finest made , and ccst the government about $4 each. A clerk at the whlto house authority for the statement that upon Just ono occasion In his administration has Mr. Cleveland asked to see any of these books , and yet the serapbook Institution has come down from early times , and no re former will ever be so Iconoclastic ao to change the custom. For the historical student , however , tlio present system Is of little use. A substan tial file of a few great newspapers , of two or three weekly critical reviews , nnd a scrapbook - book mode up of the summary of the Im portant events and personal Items , would be an incalculably greater advantage than the present "omnibus" serapbook system. Another clement which detracts fn the historical value of such a collection Is the natural wish ot the cleric making It to pre serve only those clippings complimentary to the president. But the scropbook service at the whlto house Is of Interest only a0 typical hundreds of tasks maintained In Wash ington. They owe their origin to the good old days of tlio spoils system , when the dlu- covery of something which would afford an apology for the presence of another clerk was regarded as n meritorious act , A humane unwillingness to "throw some good man out of a place" explains tlio continuance many of these comparatively useless serv ices. When Mr. Cleveland came to the white boiiP3 In 1881 ho found the scrapbook work the hands of two men ; one clerk went over the newspapers , bluo-penclllng his se lections , while another man did the muscu I lar work of plying the shears. These two Jutlea Mr. Cleveland rather courageously con solidated , w WASHINGTON HISSING FOR MAYOR. y YoiilinrllNiin Convention ! In ChleiiKO . u' DeiinnnerH Machine Rule. CHICAGO , March 12.
