I made tit : s examination and last Friday I made a report to Mr. Kern, telling him that I considered the prisoner In sano and that hohUng such belief I could not take the witness stand and say he was sane. 1 told him that I did not consider Pendergast ineutially re sponsible lor his crime and with niy t port I submitted my bill for the ser vices w hich I had been employed to reform and considered my connection with the case ended, for if the state tield the prisoner was sane they cer tainly bad no use for mv evidence which was directly opposed to that idea. .Since that time I have been ub pu'tiaed for the defense.

Your money will be refunded ! at the otlice during the week." The trouble was brought about by the trouble which Mr. Datnrosch has recently been having with the Musical Protective union. They protested against the importation of the famous violoncellist, Anton Ileguer, who has not been in this country a sufficiently long time to become a member of the union. On Friday night "Mr. Dam roscli resigned from theMusical Protec tive union on account of the persist ence with which the raemberi refused to suspend the six month rule In Hegner's case, and fearine (he union would be to much for them, the mem bers of the Symphony orchet'ra decided to follow tbe union's mandate.

Dec. 18. The British anibasHn ior. Sir Julian 1'auneefote, is keeping himself and his government fully informed conceruint the tariff developments. Only last w-ek copies of the wav - and means committee's bill were forwa ded to the British foreign odicer at l-ondon. A representative of the Ass.. . ited press, who called at the British -mbassy. was asked by Hon. Alan John.-'.jne, one of the tectretariea oftheeml y, to submit the exact questions i. wished to submit to the ambassador m writing. Tbey were as follows: "Will the ambasBidor favor the Asso ciate press with a brief expression, to be used witn similar expression from other embassies and legations, as to the interest taken or a'tentiou given to the revision of the tariff, as it con templates broader and more ir:tim.te commercial relations between the United States and Great Britain or the Rrltisli rntnr i'" '1 his Mr. Johnstone submitted to the ambassador and returned with the fol lowing answer. "The ambassador repr-s to inforn. the Associated press in. lie deems it inexpedient to express an opinion on the inteni'il legislation of the United Slates." Prince Cantacuzene, the Husian minister talked most entertainingly concerning the tariff question, as it re lated to Rush! a, but he would make no reference to the question as a phase of American legislation. The minister says that he regards the protective policy as essential to tbe developing of the industrial and manufacturing in terests of tbe count-y and regards such development .is outside the bounds of entlment and abstract theory and one of plain business calculations. This statement, however, the minister re stricted in its application to Kussia, a he would Dot discuss tbe American situation. Sen Don E. de Muruaga, the Span ish : .ster, said the treaty conferred man) commercial benefits on tbe United States. American flour was admitted to Cuba at a much lower rate of duty than before and this feature ha-resulted in the shipment of thou sands of barrels of A merican flour to ceived a benefit in the remission of duty on raw sugar. N'ow, however, there are Indications that a duty may be restored on raw sugar. As to tobacco, also, the dimmer. ,al relations aided by a reduction of the duties, but the indications are that tobacco will be one of the articles on which an increase will be made. At the residence of Baron A. Von Saurma Jell h, the German ambassa dor, the subject was discussed trom tbe German standpoint by an official of the embassy. "Germauy would be glad to extend her trade with this country," said be. "At the present time tbe balance of trade is stro..,'ly in favor of tbe United States, as Germany buys very heavily of your giain, pork and meats, which this country makes no corresponding purchase of the goods of Germany. The McKinle. tariff further restricted the commerce between the countries. It is to be hop d the new tan li will be In the directii. . of eucouragiug com merce between the two countries, but the drafts thus far submitted give little evidence of materially changing tbe present conditions, as they appeal to cling to the policy of protecting local industries against competition." 1 A - the Chinese embassy little could be learned as to the interest taken In the tariff. It was said by one of tbe official that no active interest In the subject had been taken by the minis ter. It was added the in. isterfavored a development of the cou..nercial rela tions and regarded China as a fruitful field lor American enterprise j lrftratd the Coiner. ' St. Jok, Mo., Dec. 18.

Chicago, Dec 21. The democracy of Chicago was victorious at the polls Tuesday, when a mayor was selected for the unexpired term of the late Ca, er H. Harrison. The new mayor is John P. Hopkins and his defeated opponent is Gxotge B. wift, now mayor ad Interim, who will resume his duties as alderman. The campaign was short and sharp and the cou'eat a close one, as shown by the following figures: Hopkins 112,16s, Swift 111,73;; plurality for Hopkins, 1.2J0. The total vote Klled was 227,307, there being two other candidates in the field. The election passed off quietly. A democratic majority of 10.1MJ was expected and the small difference be tween the party votes indicates that C hicago is not safely democratic at a local election. The late mayor's great ersonal popularity was responsible for the large democratic majority given him last spring. John P. Hopkins is a young man and 'has been only thirteen j ears a resident of Chicago. He was born In Buffalo X. V., October 2'J, 1H5H, in the old England ward, Cleveland and Biaell's ward. He was educated in the schools of Buffalo, but is not a collegiate. Like . I ins opponent ne is ciasseu as a oum- j ness man. lie resides ai tveiifingiou, near the southern limits of the city.

Then he got employment in F.van's elevators, w here he was soon promoted t his first portion of re sponsibility, that of weight-master, which he held until lie removed to Chicago in 1879. Here lie began bis career shoving lumber in the yards at Pullman. He advanced in the Pull man company's service to store time keeper, general tirrekeeper, and pay master. Kobberi I be Uobbirn.

In the Pendei- iiast trial yesterday the evidence heard was mainly on ti e question of the prisoner's sanity. Most of the wit nesses examined testified to their be lief that the murderer is perfectly sane. There is not likely to be much more evidence Introduced and the attorneys are in hopes that the end of the case may be reached by Saturday. Attorney Wade who represents As sassin preiidergast, made a startling statement in court. The attorney is thoroughly imbuded with the idea that Prendergast is Insane, and he will fight a verdict of hanging to the highest courts. Said he: "1 will not consent to any form of a verdict, and 1 am prepared to state that the prisoner's family will not object to a sentence for life In the penitentiary or confinement jn some institution for the insane for tbe period of natural life. In fact I will go so far in my argument to the Jury as to suggest ttiat disposition of Prendergaal's case. Hut the prisoner must not hang. The jury can make whatever form of verdict it choses, aside from Infliction of the death pen alty, and I will accept It." Grave Kebheri Sentenced. Des Moimcs, Dec. 21.

Judge Bishop, counsel for Scliaeffer, gave notice that he would tppeal th case to the a. i pre me court, where he hoped to get a reversal of the case on tbe ground that tbe court erred Ip refusing a change of venue, this community being preju diced against the defendants. This is the ground upon which the celebrated '"red Crafton murder case was recent-) ly reversed by the supreme court fleet h Sentence Ualarrd. Coi-LMBi s, 1 nd., Dec. 21.

The prosecution In the Coiiglilm case devoted Its en ergies largely to unraveling the mys tery surrounding the story of tbe wagon in which Cronin's remains were said to have been carried from tbe Carlson cottage to the catch basin.
