Ctiicioo , Dec. 20. Crowds surged through
the corridors nnd nttomptcu to gain entrance
to the court room where Mrs. Andrew Fey
cross-examined in thoCough-
today was to be -
lln trial. I'x-Judgc Wing subjected the wit-
nous to a suvere ( juesltonltig. Shu was inter
rogated ns to Cnuglilin's visits to her hus
band on May 'J and idtnitlcd that she heard
nothing suspicious in the conversation.
Mrs. Fey was asked about Coughlln's visit
on thonexl nighl , andjleslilied to having
heard the defendant telling her husband
nbout the search for Cronln's body. Stic re
peated her story of the visit on May HI ,
when she claims that Coughlln said her hus
band was in no danger , and that oven if ho
( Fey ) was arrested she would bo well cared
for by Alexander Sullivan , etc. After more
questions regarding subsequent visits , ex-
Judge Wins advanced a step toward the wit
ness and naked impressively :
"What promises has the prosecution mivdo
to you for tcstifyinBt1'
Mrs. Fey had apparently anticipated the
question and replied dramatically :
"Heforo God and man , I swear the prose
cution has not promised me anything. "
Then the attorney asked : "Tnen you
don't love your husband ! "
"No , sir ; I don't,1' she replied curtly.
"I see the prosecution has lillod your house
with policemen lately ? "
"No , sir ; my house is not full of police
men. "
In reply to the next question , Mrs. Fey
admitted that her husband left her before
policemen began guarding her house. She
said she did not like Coughlin and was
noticeably disconcerted when tlio attorney
asked her If she did jjot at ono lime send
her regards to him while ho was in jail.
Hocovering herself she said that was a joko.
"Thoseweresarcastic records. " she said.
C'nURcd it Flutter tif Kxdtciiirnt.
A murmur of excitement ran through the
court room-when .ludgo Wing asked : "Airs.
Fey , is it not a fact that you have accused
your husband time and again ofbcine the
man who threw the anarchist bomb at the
police several years ago ? "
The attorneys for the prosecution -were
instantly on thLir feet protesting , anil shoutIng -
Ing to.tUo . witness not to answer , but she
cried out excitedly :
"IJofOre God , 1 never did ; I never dia. "
"Now , " went on Juilgo Wine , "did not you
say that you would go down to Judge Grin-
ncll and place your husband alongside of
Spies and Parsons by. what you could tell
him ? "
"No. sir. " exclaimed Mrs. Fey , despite the
protests of the attorneys for the prosecu
tion.
Judge Wing then sprung a sensation by
ndvancing to the witness with a letter in his
hand and asking : "Mrs , Fey , did you write
that letter ? " *
State's Attorney Bottum sprang un in sur
prise. Against his protest the witness took
the let tor and icturncd it
' Yes , " the witness admitted , reluctantly ,
after u silence , "that looks like my writing. "
"And did you mail that letter to Attorney
Fornst ? "
" 1 guess I did. "
Mr. Hottutn wanted to have the letter read
nijud at once , hut Judge Wing slated thai
lie would introduce it in evidence later.
Judge Wing then presented another letter
nnd asked if it was not written by Mrs. Foy.
This also the witness admitted after some
hesitation.

Then thu defensu took uc another subject ,
nnd tlio excltcmenl cuusea by Iho introduc
tion ofjctters hud hardly suhsUtd when a
fresh outbreak occurred. Judge Wing asked :
"Now. Mrs. Foy. did not tno prosecution
give you any monoy' "
"Oojcol , " interposed Attorney Bottum.
" * her give the answer , " cried a heavy
voice near the reporter's table , Kvuryono
turned In astonishment. Attorney Donnul
ot Ibc defense was the llrst ono lo discover
the source.
"Mr , Devoy , will you pletso stand up ? "
Il was been that the remark hud como ,
from John Dcvoy , ono of the members of the
Crmiln commltiee.
"Does iho court command -ne to stand
upt" asked Mr. Devoyr
"Did you make the remark t" asked Judge
Tuihlll. -
V , " 1 did. "
"You must not interrupt the trial , Mr.
n Devoy , " ruled the court , mildly.
il Mr. Dovoy apologized , explaining that ho
addressed his remark to Mr. llotiuui.
The defense was nol salisllcd with the
mild rebuke the court had udminlxiurcd and
suggested thai lie ought to bu excluded from
the court room.
i .Imlfu Tuthill , howovcr , decided that as a
newspaper man and n member of the Cronin
committee , Mr. Dcvoy was entitled to a
place In the court room ,
Mis , Fey , questioned by Judge Wiug as to
whether bho know John Devoy , admin ed
Ilial bho was well acquainted with him. _ _

Mrs. Key's manner changed perceptibly
and she stammered that s > ho knew iho man.
"Did lie visit yon In I U' "
Tlio witness murmured somuthlng about
"twoor three visits. "

Continuing his question regarding Dolce-

Fey , did not you over tell that man that you
wished you know moro anout iho case , as
Foy. your husband , was Ihe only man who
bad told you anything , and the others would
not trust you ? "
"Never , never , " was Iho strong answer
the startled woman gave.
"Did not you toll him the name of Alexan
der Sullivan was not mentioned , except in
the common gossip of iho neighborhood ! "
"No , sir , I never did."insisled Mrs. Foy.
"You never said that ho repeatedly risked
you to tell him if you know anything ! "
"I never saiit it and ho never asked me. "
"Do you know a man named Martin Gar-
r-iiyf" pursued Judge Wing.
"Yes , I do.1'
"Did nol you ever tell him that your hus
band was the only ono who told you any
thing , as the others would not trust you ? "
"I rover did. before God. "
' Did not you over say in his presence to
your husband , ' you , If you hadn't told
mo I would not have known about it ! "
Xevor U cil Midi aVoril. .
"No , sir , " replied the witness , her temper
rising , "I never used such a word. 1 called
him a black coward once and that's thu

' Did not you lell Garrity you wished you
know something against Alexander Sulli
van so lhat you could drag him into t.tie
caso. because if you did you would bo madu

"I did not , " denied Mrs. Foy.
"Did not you over say lo your husband ,
'You scoundrel , you anarchist ; you threw
iho bomb , because you wore nol at home
that night. I'll co to Grinnel nnd tell him
aboul it. ' Did not you ever tell your hus
band that Michael Kennedy was Iho man
who drove Iho white horse , and that you
would like to suit on him ? "
I did not ; I never did it. "
Over the revealing of one of the witnesses
names there was n lively light. The defcusu
wanted to withhold it , und asked the wil-
ness a general question.
After the presentation as evidence of the
two letters both sides announced lhat thuy
wcro through with Mrs. Fey , and she left
the witness stand.

in Iho witness chair. She icsiiiied lo hav

LONDON , Dec. 2(3. ( The Times prints a
special at licle from Berlin on iho relalions
of Sweden and Norway. It says ihcro is
every reason lo believe iho king of Sweden
is prepared to use force lo maintain the
union between the two countries. It odds
that it is unqucslionublo lhat tlio Swedes ,
who are somewhat apathetic , have been
aroused by the ntllludu of Hie Norwegian
radicals lo such a pitch ol exasperation that
n littllo moro might easily goad them into
ac'.lon.
At the same time , although ihcro is a
slrong military parly in Sweden , iho nation
as a whole would think twice before it un
ticriook risks of a war which might cnlail
foreign complications. Although the main
tenance of a monarchy has hitherto ap
peared so closely bound up with Hie main
tenance of the union lhat it appeared n
question either of union and monarchy or
separation and u rupubltc , novcrlhelcss a
third or middle course Is now sucgcsied.
Denmark lias such slrong svmpathy for
Norway lhat the creation of a Norwegian re
public would cndanccr tlio Danish dynasty ,
therefore Ihls scheme has been conceived in
high quarters that if a separation becomes
necessary it might become feasible to place
Prince Waldumur of Denmark on tholhrono
of independent Norway to found a Nor
wegian dynasty. Prince Wnldemar is 33
years old and has three children , all boys.
KMJMSII IIHAS ox AMUUIUAN WAYS.
Our Political Folly Hiiby Until I'lot Out-
cumu ot Nc\v p.i.ir Irreverence.
LONDON , Dec. 20. The Post , in an article
upon the meeting of congress , says that it
.has to consider the question of how the gov
ernment is going to act amidst the confusion
and disorder duo to the corruption which
professional politicians have introduced in
every department. The McKinley system ,
it adds , has killed the goose which laid so
niiuy golden cgcs for the treasury. The
pensions expenditure , it declares , is a most
scandalous item. A hundred years ago the
American politician tried lo rob Ihe tighliug
man of his b.ullcs. and now his successors
have been wasting money on any schema so
long as there is an excuse for maintaining
taxation. The fact that some persons hoped
thai Iho repeal of Iho Sherman law would
reblore commercial prosperity shows how
lilllereal knowledge Iho republic possessed.
Alter a course of folly and corruption unex
ampled in modern history it is ludicrous to
expsct that a vote of congress will sot
things rigbl. The personal merit of Presi
dent Cleveland's policy is his resolute striv
ing to carry measures which are not able to
bear immediate fruit.
The Telegraph in commenting upon the
alleged discovery at Abilene , Kan. , of n plot
to kidnap President Cleveland's litllo
daughter , Hutu , says that it hopss it is only
a story of an American writer who happened
to bo short of Christinas copy. In view ,
however , of similar exploils Hko Iho abduc
tion of Charllo Hess the Telegraph adds that
it is impossible to entirely dismiss thu story
as unfounded. Those bent on money mak
ing have no rovcrenco for President Cleve
land , wtio is not hedged around with divin
ity. Newspapers , regardless of a senSe ot
chivalry , call Mrs Cleveland "Frankte. "
Pcoplo who tolerate this sort ot thing , the
Tulcgrauh says , must not be surprised if the
president's daughter is really "stolen.

Murder ol French iimi Amerlc.tn Sailor *
Avpngrit ,
LONDON , Dec. 20. An oftlcer of the British
gunboat Boomerang , engaged in the pro
tection of the floating trade in Australasian
waters , writing from Sydney , * s. S.V. . ,
under date of November 8 , gives n graphic
account of the punishment ot the caiTnlbals
of Pentecost island for the massacre of iho
cruw of the American schooner Don Henri.
Ho says that reports reached the commander
of the Boomerang while at Noumc , capital
of the French colony of New Caledonia , to
the offcot that numerous cases of canni
balism , murdering and plundering were re
ported from the neighborhood of Pentecost
island. The Boomerang , thereupon , was
headed for the Sandwich islands , where the
captain of Iho Don Henri was found. The
commander of the American schooncrlnade
n statement to the British oftlccr to
the effect that early In September
last , when calling nt Pentecost
island , in order to engage natives
to work on plantations , ho sent
a boat ashore containing M. Llftan , a French
trader and three seamen. Uuon reaching
shore the party was attacked by savages
armed with tomahawks , and all four were
murdered. The commander of the Boom
erang nt the same place , also received uews
of the murder of the crow of a boat sent
ashore from the Nep'turne , a French trading
vessel at Aurora IMund.
Toiler , In company with the French war
ship Scorif , the Boomerang proceeded to
Pentecost island where each wurshlrp landed
at different point1) a detachment of forty-
eight oftlcers and sailors , with inslruclions
to converge upon certain villages and thus
hem the cannibals In.nnd administer to them
severe punishment for the murder of the
boat's crews.
The natives , alarmed at the advance of
the two naval detachments , retreated upon
the villages , calling upon all the inhabiiants
to taKe up arms. The laltcr did so. but they
made but a feeule defense and soon lied to
the bush. Thn sailors , then destroyed tlio
native village on Pentecost island and re
turned to iheir respecllVo ships.
The Boomerang and Scorff then proceeded
to Aurora island , where similar tactics were
adopted and whore two villages were de-
slroyed. In addition heavy lines were in-
ilictcd upon the natives of several other
Islands who had boon prominent in tho-ill-
trealment of traders or seamen. Those
directly implicated In the murders were
seized and sentunced lo imprisonment for
life at the French convict settlement at
Noumea.
At Pentecost island alone over thirty men
have been murdered anil"robbed , and largo
quantities of human bbh'es" were found.

Eugene Wolff , the explorer , hus received
news from Uganda .dated July 15 , saying
that the Mohammedans have been expelled
by the Christians.
Wolff writes that severe fighting is now
inevitable between the Christians and Mo
hammedans , and aadn thu encounter will
probably take place at Myoro. The exuloror
also expresses the opinion lhat there will bu
renewed conflicts belween the Catholics and
Proteslunts , owing to' the fact th.il Iho lat
ter have broken an agreement with iho
Catholics , nnd have depopulated the prov
inces of Kiama and Uivcnkula and the largo
Seso islands , whoso populations were Catho
lic. The Protcslunts are also said to have
declared vengeance upon native converts to
Catholicism , and Wolff urges , in conclusion ,
thai peacu can only bo secured by llio per

Puii.XAMiifco , Hoc. 20. The inhabitants of
this i > ort for some time past have been an
ticipating witnessing the most novel naval
battle imaginable. The Nicthcro.v had been
waiting here , xvlth her big dynamite gun all
ready for action , the coming of the rebel war
ships Aquldab.m and Hepublica , which were
announced to bo on Iheir way hero with the
intention of engaging the dynatnlto cruiser.
This caused thu greatest excitement and a
sharp lookout was kept nlcng the coast at
every point of vantage In order that the
coming of thu rebels might bs duly signaled.
Yesterday the Nictheroy was at sea , hunt
ing , it Is announced for the two rebel ships
referred to with the purpose of forcim ; them
to do battle. The Inhabitants of Pernutn-
buco , however , wcro astonished to see thu
Nictheroy return today reporting that she
had been unable to lind the two rebel ships.
The latler were said to have been sighted ,
bound for the convict settlement on thu
rugged island of FcrJiuando do Noronna , to
the north of this port. The object of Ad
miral do Mcllo in making for the island ,
ivhlch is over 100 miles from the mainland of
Brazil , is said to bo the liberation of BO many
ablo-bodicu convicts as he could lind in the
settlement , to be enlisted in the Brazilian
insurgent marine force , aud ii is said he ex
pected to secure not fewer than 1,000. It is
now said that the Niothoroy will hero await
the coining of the rebel ships and will fight
them in or about this port.
No New * from Illo.
From llio there is little or no fresh news
today. The adherents of both sides claim
that their opponents arc driven to the last
extremity and they must soon give up. One
thing is certain and that is that people are
heartily tired of the monotonous course of
events and that sotno decided action upon
the part of Peixolo or Do Mello woulu bo a
positive relief to American people interested
in the Brazilian struggle.
Of course both sides continue the circula
tion of rumors calculated to do as much
damage as possible to the other side. Thus
the adhcrenls of President Pcixoto insist
that the rebels are receiving the support of
foreign powers and that the ultimate object
of the . -evolution is the re-establishment of
ttic empire. In support of this they point to
the fact that the monarchic ! governments of
the old world are in sympathy with Admiral
do Mullo , who is said to bo receiving sup
plies of uionoy from England , w'lero his
agents arc reported to be doing their utmost
to glyo. pr ( > minenco to hls _ s1d'eofMthc qucs-
tlon In government circles , "stoclc jobbing
"
ami "other speculative movements are , also
very much in support of the insurgents , and
it is claimed that the presence of a powerful
squadron of United States warships will at
once cause a cessation of this alleged under
hand foreign interference in the affairs of
Brazil. The United States his insisted it
must compel a strict observance of the
Monroe doctrine and it is expected by the
president's party that if this is done the
collapse of the revolution is only a question
of a very short time.
From thn Other Point of View.
On the other hand , the insurgents main-
Iain that President Peixoto is nothing more
than a military dictator who is imposing his
will upon the pcoplo of Brazil in dcllanco
of the popular sentiment and in every
way against the principles of republicanism.
Far from desiring to establish a monarchy
the rebels Insist that that they are combat
ing the monarchial or one man power sys
tem of government and if the United States
extends sympathy and moral support to
Peixoto the government of the great repub
lic will bo using its power to support a dicta
tor and oppose a popular movement in Bra
zil , finally , the insurgents insist that they
should be permitted to light it out with the
Brazilian government and that if they arc
allowed to do so , they will soon restore peace
to Brazil and will bring about a more
healthy and satisfactory state of affairs
throughout the republic. This Is aboul the
situation , so far as can bo gathered hero
from the Iwo pomls of view , that of Presi
dent Pcixoto and that of Admiral do Mollo.
News has been received hero to the effect
that nilditional war snips are to bo sent by
the United States to Ulo do Janeiro and this
has given great satisfaction to Americans
who have tmsincss relations with Brazil as ,
ono way or the other , they dcslru to see an
ending to the prolonged hostilities in order
that commeivo may resume its inloriupicd
( low and business may no longer bej ham
pered by the dispatches between political
parties in Brazil.

The dnto of his execution was fixed by
Judge Chapman In district court shortly
before 11 o'clock tills morning. Before Uio
sentence was pronounced the matter of iho
prisoner Doing granted u now trial wus
brought up and resulted in the application
bsiug formally refused with the understand
ing thai iho matter would be argued moro
fully on Saturday next. The judge ihcu
lurned to the prisoner and said :
"Harry Illll , you may stand tip. Have
you anything to say why the sentence of this
court should not bo passed upon you ! "
Mill Crltlcmeil IHsTrml.
Hill's answer was : "Nothing ; only I
feel pained to believe that I have not had a
fair and impartial trial at iho hands of Iho
Cass county authorities , from the fact that
prevailing sentiment , was against us nnd has
been most hitler. I also believe that if the
case had been tried outsldo of Cass county I
could have had a fair and impartial trial. "
The judge responded : "You have hud a
fair and impartial trial before an Intelligent
and conscientious Jury , selected wltn the
utmost care. Every facility warranted by
the law of the land was extended lo you lo
establish in the minds ot the Jury at least a
doubt of your legal responsibility at iho
time you , with your companion in crime ,
took thp life of Mutt Akeson. Tlio evidence
in this case is undisputed. You and your
accomplice have both admitted upon the wit-
IIPSS stand your presence and participation
In Iho murder of a worthy and respected
citizen , while you were engaged in an at
tempt to rob him.
Wlifilofttilo Murder Attempted ,
"Tho evidence must satisfy any rational
human being thit you not only murdered
the old man. but that you both attempted
the murder of his entire family , and that
the escape of tbn remaining members of that
peaceful homo was almost miraculous.
That the robbary was deliberately
planned by both of you Is beyond the shadow
of doubt ; that you were both equally guilty
1 donot , entertain tlio slightest doubt , nor
do 1 believe any one listening to Iho horrible
details of that cniel crlinu can entertain a
rational doubt that you both planned and
meditated on tlio robbery , witli the inten
tion of committing murder if it was neces
sary in order to accomplish your ends. In
deed , the fuels show lhat you wcro bolh
swift lo lake life , not hesitating at an at
tempt upon the life of the old mother of
thai household.

"Il is no wonder then thai llio Jury in the
case , after careful deliberation , was unable
to return anything but the severest punish
ment Imposed by the law for such crime.
' Yoiir own story of your life itt a sad nnd
pitiful history , witli nothing to recommend it
to the mercy of Iho Jury. Idleness , viciousness -
ness ol habits , criminal associations have ,
from your own admissions , been your con
stant companions. To pruy upon your fel
low men , to Indulge your iippiHlte for vice ,
lo disregard thu rights nnd property of

you in your extremity. So doca all the com

human life demands iho prompt and speedy
punishment of men who recklessly and
wickedly take human life , and you can now
blame no ono but yourself for your untimely
ending.
