LINCOLN, Jan. 18. (Special Telegram.)
There wnH no material change In ttiu scna
torlal Hltimtlon today, and as n majority
of the republican members will leavo for
tholr homes tomorrow, there Ih no prospect
of any developments of a decisive naturo
until after tho legislature convenes next
week. Another call for a caucis has been
Mn circulation since yesterday morning, call
ing for n required attendance of slxty
seven mumbcrs and fqrty-olght to nomi
nate, but ho fur as can bo learned abso
lutely no headway has been mado along
that line, and tonight no effort was bolng
made to obtain signers for tho paper. The
principal objection to this call Is that It
makes no reference to tho method ot vol
lng to bo pursued In the caucus. Tho clr
dilators aro known to bo In favor of bal
loting for ono senator at n time, and It It
generally believed that tho call Is really
in tho Interests of that kind of a propo
sltlon. Tho formation, of rucs Is to bo
left entirely Id the caucus, but many mem
bers objoct seriously to this plan nnd rc-
fuso to uttach their signatures to the docu
ment.

Tho only cliango on tho republican Bldo
that occasioned any comment today was tho
gain of four votes by Melklejohn. Of the
total of twenty-eight votes received by
him thirteen, or nearly half, aro from mem
bcrs who voted for Thompson, six from
those who voted for Illnshaw, while four
were from supporter of Halner anil tho
remainder scattering. The Impression seems
to prevail that Mr. Melklejohn haB about
reached tho high point of his race.

Tho fuslonists today put Into operation
n clover plan by which they hoped to elect
two senators. Tho scheme was exceed
ingly simple nnd It does not require a very
expanslvo Imagination to sco how It might
havo worked successfully. Tho plan was
to take ndvnntagc of the absence of soveral
republican members nnd adjourn until to
morrow, when tho Joint convention would
bo held as usual. To accomplish their
design all pairs would havo been disre
garded and it solid fuHlon vote cast for
two candidates. Muny of tho republicans
left tho city Immediately after tho Joint
convention today and sorao of them could
not havo r( turned In time for the usual
noon session tomorrow. It would havo
been equally Impossible for several mem
bers to attend who were confined to their
homes on account ot sickness,
.riir to mi Election
Today thero were seven members absent
when tho roll wns called In the Joint eon
volition, so that n unanimous voto of sixty
four members would havo boon sufilclcnt to
elect. Ono fusion candidate received within
elRht votes of this number and ono fusion-
1st paired with a republican did not vote.
The men behind tho schema Intended tn
havo all fusloulsts break any nxroemcn
or pair formed with republican members
and demand that tholr votes bo counted
Persons who havo Investigated tho law on
this subject nro of tho opinion that a pair

WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. The beard of

cost within tho figures of tho bidders. Pres
ident Olcott and Judge Pnyson, representing
tho Newport Neivs and Cramp companies.
nro prepared to ucccpt tho contracts for tho
shins at the boards terms. Moran Bro
of Seattle have notified Secretary I.OOK "f
tholr purpose to accept the nwurd In their
ense, so that although soma technicalities
remain to be disposed of In connection with
tho contracts the Nnvy department has
practically concluded tho task of allotlng
tho greatest contract for naval construc
tion work ever lot In the history ot tho
American nnvy.
If congress adopts the department's sug
gestlon for new construction In the pending
naval impropriation bill and provides for
two inoro battleships nnd two mora armored
crulfors, It Is the purpor.e of tho Navy do
partment not to prepare new plans but to
Invito bids on tho plans used for tho ships
Just contracted for. In this case a long
Btep will bo taken toward recovering the
ground lost during tho Inst year and n half
In tho effort to secure satisfactory designs
for tho big ships. Tho next step In tho
matter of construction Is tho opening of
proposals for tho building ot six protected
crulpera of tho Improved Olympla type.
which will tnko placo soon.
These vessels, being of n smnller pattern
than tho ships Just contracted for, It Is
expected that the older shipbuilding (Inns,
nnd those new to tho business who failed to
sccuro a contract for armored cruisers or
battleshlpB, may 'contract within their nbll
Ity, for It Is doubtful If the larger concorns
will bo In n position lo bid now for nny of

Iiik In L'nsc of All the l)e
fenilniits. NEW YORK, Jan. IS. Walter C. McAl
lister, Andrew J. Campbell nnd William
Dentil, three of tho four persons Indicted
for tho murder ot Jennie Ilosschletcr, a
mill girl of Patcrson, N. J., who was mur
dered on the night of October 18 last, wero
tonight adjudged guilty of murder In tho
second degree. According to tho New Jer
sey law, the maximum penalty for tho
prisoners Is thirty years. The Jury took
fourteen ballots and after summoning Judgo
Dixon nnd tho prisoners, filed Into the court
room, Tho prisoners appeared very nervous,
McAllister soemcd moro excited than any
ot tho others. Ho sat biting his lips while
waiting. Campbell thrust his bands Into
his trousers pockets and clinched his lists
In them. Death looked anxiously about
tho court room for h moment and then as
sumed the same attitude us Campbell.
When tho verdict wns nnnounced the
pllsoners evinced neither elation nor relief.
.fudgo Dixon thanked the Jury nnd said
ho believed the verdict n Just ono. Ho
dismissed the Jurors until .Monday morn
ing. Tho court then rose and tho prisoners
wero taken back to tho Jail.
Another great crowd gathered outside tho
court houeo this morning, but, as on the
preceding dnys of the trial, only a limited
number of persons wero ndmlttcd to tho
court room, The defendants were brought
Into court shortly before 10 o'clock und
took their usual seats besldo their counsel.
Former Judgo William Hoffman begun
the closing address for tho defense as soon
ns Judge Dixon took his seat on the bench.
Mr. Hoffman brlclly expressed his pity for
.tho fate that had befallen Jennlo ltosschlo
ter. sympathy with her parents, nnd hoped
that tho accused wouliLiiot be found guilty
of the girl's murder.; (A point which, In
Mr. Hoffman's opmlon'i iind not been sufll
clnctly emphasized .VhlHiUssoclates In the
defense h that a (fefcndSnt Is not permitted
to bo called npom'totjjSrVo his Innocence,
but the stnto must prcAo hls guilt. Counsel
aald:
IIpiiIpn i:lnlciiep uf Proof.
"Whatever vle'w Is taken of tho law, If
It can bo Bhown thnt Jennlo did not die from
chlornl or rrfpe, thoii this caso failed. Thero
Is no legal proof that she died from chloral
polBon or Uiuljjnrpo wns committed. Chloral,
as I understand It, Is n drug used almost
universally for beneficial purposes as med
icine, Tho state charges thnt defendant
(pointing nt McAllister) put chloral Into
tho girl's drink that night. If ho had
chloral, whero did ho get It?
"Tho stnto used all Its machinery to find
this out. If no chloral was found In tho
body, sho did not die from It. Dr. Todd
said sho died from chloral poisoning; so
did Dr. Terrlberry. These statements haMi
no force In this case. Who Is this doctor:
Ho Is called a chemical expert and his bus
iness Is that of a teacher nnd a witness In
cases like this. Ho Is not Infallible nnd
thero hnvc been coses where the Jury disa
greed with him. It Is n species of testi
mony Mint Is useful, but not n certainty.
It Is n scries of experiments. Such a wit
ness Is brought hero to send three men to
their death."
Mr. Hoffmann proceeded to discredit the
testimony of Prof. Wltthnus ns to tho
quantity of chloral hydrate that had been
udmlnlstcred to tho girl nnd quoted the
professor ns saying that tho amount of
chloral ho found In the stomach could not
havo dono nny moro harm than If It had re
mained In the bottle. Ho cited tho teitl
niony of Dr. Vnndenbcrg to the effect that
unalysls of embalming fluid of the
same brand ns that used to embalm tho
corpse of Jennlo Ilosschletcr gavo tho samo
results ns Prof. Wltthnus obtained from an
nnalysls ot tho contents of the girl's
stomach. Mr Hoffmann alleged that state
ments had been extorted from two ot tho
defendants by the police by Impinper means
and thnt (heso statements then had been
distorted Into confessions. All tho circum
stances of tho meeting of Jennlo Bosschloter
with the defendants tho evening of October
IS nnd of the start In u hack for Leo'n
hotel, counsel said, wero Inconsistent with
tho theory of tho prosecution that the af
fair was prearranged on tho part of tho
men with tho purpose of assault on the
girl.
"Tho wholo case Is consistent with the In
nocenco of tho defendants under n proper
application of tho law," ho said.
I'riiKppiilor Denounce I'rlNiinpra.
Public Prosecutor Emley Immediately be
gan tho delivery of tho final address for tho
state. The mooting of tho defendants with
Jennlo Bosschloter, ho said, was no acci
dent. It wns at Saol's saloon nnd hnd for
Its purpose, as Campbell hod put It, hav
ing n good tlmo" with tho girl now dead.
Mr. Emley said:
"Although It has been stntcd tho girl was
unablo to get a milk punch which sho hod
ordered In the snloon because thero wns no
milk there, still there Is trstlmony to show
that McAllister Irank milk nnd seltzer nnd
when nbslntho was taken Into tho room
thoro waB nlso n glnss of milk on tho same
tray, and that McAllister carried tho tray.
It Is a significant coincidence that when
McAllister wanted a hack ho found the
willing ear of Kerr nt tho telephone nt
Hofgezunge's Ealoon, Kerr evidently nwnlt
Ing such word. It Is moro than n coinci
dence that all this should have happened as
It did wlt'i tho circle of them nil thoro
complete. Kerr said nothing ubout tho for
gotten ongugemcnt on tho brldgo; neither
did lie nsk McAllister whero hu had been.
Ho simply told tho hackmnn which door of
Sanl'r. saloon to go to. McAllister ordered
tho hack, paid for tho drinks and ordered
champagne. Ho was tho leader."
Mr. Emley pointed out alleged Inconsist
encies of tho story of the ride In tho Scul
thorpo hack as the defendants told it oa the
witness stand. If their purposo was humane
why wan tho girl not put undor tho euro of
Mrs. Saal, Instead of being driven uwny In
a hack with men? When Lee's hotel wun
renched nnd tho girl was very 111, why was
not tho house arouaed to ufford hor assist
ance? Advcrso cominnt wiib nlso passed
upon the behavior of tho accused men when
Dr. Townneiid told them tho girl wns dead
and tho fact that they threw her comb and
other personal effects Into tho river when
they left her ccrpso nt tho sldo of tho romi.
Tho case was given to tho Jury at 3:13
o'clock.
