Biunzx, Baxs & Booz TO INTENDING DIAMOND PURCHASERS. An important increase bas taken place in the price of Diamonds, It is extending to the markets of all countries, and those contemplating purchases must look to bixher prices in the future, South Africa supplies the world, snd the product is controlled by large companies, viz, THE DE BEERS, THE CONSOLIDATED BULTFONTAINE, THE KIMBERLY CENTRAL, THE PULLINGER and sey- eral others, ‘The mining of Diamonds has not been profitable to these companies by reason of the great competition and the expense of working the mines at their present depth, The DE BEERS COMPANY has lately secured » large interest in almost all these mines, which has re- sulted in the formation of syndicate controlling the supply. The output of Diamonds is now limited; the shares of the companies have greatly incressed in ‘value, aud the Rouwh Diamonds have advanced eighty percent in price. The quantity of Cut Diamonds in Geaiers’ hands is very limited—less than for years—and it ts highly probable that prices will steadily advance. ‘We obtain our Diamonds direct from the Diamond cutters, and by our connection with a member of the syndicate we gained an advance knowledge of what the stste of the Diamond market would be; hence early placing of orders to sn important amount en- abies us to furnish from now till January lst all Dis- monds st the same prices as last year.

MONDAY,.NOVEMBER 4, 1889 2d EDITION. La eas he Sa “AMICABLY SETTLED.” That is What Eeggs Said After Cronin’s Murder. Curcaco, Nov. 4.—The first witness called in the Cronin trial this morning was Edward Spellman of Peoria, I. He testified that be was treasurer of the Great Eastern distilling company. “Are yous member of the Clan-na-Gsel or United Brotherhood?” he was asked. “I am a member of the United Brotherhood,” he replied. “Commonly called the Clan-na-Gael?” “I do not know anything about that; I do not know what you call it.” “Well, you have heard it called that?” “I have heard a good deal said about it in that way since this trial be; ig) “You have heard of theClan-na-Gael guards?” “And in order to be ® member of the Clan- na-Gael guards you must bea member of the United Brotherhood?” “I do not know anything about that.” ‘The witness then went on to testify that he was district officer of district No. 16, embracing Illinois and Michigan. He said he was the highest officer in the district, and that his duties were laid down by the constitution, “The executives’ isa body in itself and their duties are ulso provided by the constitu- tion.” “Do you know who constitutes that body now?” Mr. Forrest here inte: d—“We would like to have the record show, on behalf of the clients I represent, an objection to this testi- mony respecting the executive board and the officers.” The court—“‘Of course you can make your objection and may take an exception.” Vitness said he did not know how many composed the executive body. Mortimer Scan- Jan is one and Mr. Romayne is suother. Wit- ness had met others, but did not know their . names. Witness knew Dan Coughlin. Hesawhim in Peoria in January or February; he was with a young man named Kunze. itness did not iow whether prisoner (Kunze) was same one ornot, Dan Coughlin came to him with a let- ter of introduction. Witness was not positive whether Dan Coughlin talked about Dr. Cronin or not, but he thought not. .“‘Atone time.” he said, “I thought we did, but on reflection [ think now we did not.” Judge Longenecker offered in evidence four letters written by Beggs to Spellman, and sev- eral sent by Spellman to Beggs. Mr. Spellman identified the letters written by him and Mr. Foster on behalf of Beggs admitted the authen- ticity of those written by him. Before readin, the letters Mr. Longenecker asked Mr. Speil- man if be had had eny conversation with the defendant after this cor dence in refer- ence to the subject of the correspondence. Witness replied: “I did. I met Mr. Beggs April 29. He said tome that the matter he had written to me about ‘had been amicably settled.” ‘This was evidently disappointing to the state, as it differed from what Spellman had stated previously to the state attorney. Witness was sure, however, that Mr. Beggs did not say: “It had been attended to,” and did not think he had used the latter. THE WITNESS QUIBBLES. ‘This was in direct coutradiction with Spell- man’s previous testimony, and he was asked by Judge Longenecker if he had not sworn that Coughlin spoke to him about Dr. Cronin. ‘There was a long wrangle over this question, which was finally allowed, and Mr, Speliman answered: “I said before the grand jury that in the con- versation with Coughfn at Peoria that he said Cronin was a ——, but upon ret jon and upon consultation with the other two men present, I sent my attorney to Chicago to notify the district attorney that I was mistaken. My ‘attorney was unable to find Judge Longnecker; so I came myself specially to Chi- cago aud notified Judge Louguecker and the counsel that if they asked me that ques- tion on the stand I should have to deny it in order to do justice to my own self and to the facts. iter I left the grand jury room and went home and slept I felt tr ubied and annoyed. I felt that I had possi- by done a wrong to Mr. Coughlin and I went ummediately to Mr. Fullon’s and Mr. Downe’ and told them what I had sworn to before the grand jury, and thatI was bothered about it. They said: ‘Mr. Spellman you have madea mistake. No such conversation took place.’ ‘The witness said in reply toa question that he had seen Alex. Sullivan before going to the states attorney's office, but that he went there because he had been informed that Mr. Sulli- van was talking very harshly against him and that his visit was notin connection with the case. THE BEGOS-SPELLMAN LETTERS, The correspondence between Beggs and Spelman was then read. . february 18 Beggs wrote: “Why in God’s nume, if men are sincere, will they insist upon opening old sores. The mujority of our men believe the partics charged to be innocent o any criminal wrong. aud to have the charges made continually that they are guiity creates a bitterness and ill-feeling, and the man or men who continue to bring the charges are not the frieuds of the Irish unity. * * * The rank and file are sincere ‘They want peace and the time is not far distant when they will have it, even if it has to come tiwar. * * * The men who are the power wil in time realize the motives of those who ae conuuually breeding disorder in their ranks, and a day of punishment will come.” After the reading of the correspondence, of which extr: only are given avove, a long cross-examination was conducted by Mr. For- rest. HE WHITE-HORSE LINK. Dan Coughlin’s friend “Smith” will take the witness stand in his defense. Smith is the man for whom Coughlin claims he hired the white horse and buggy of Pat Dinan. Smith, his girl and her mother will testify that he drove outon West Hulstead street and tvok the girl riding. He (Smith) will dlso give a good ac- count of himself th rest of the aight. He can identify the white horse Notwithstanding the fact that Mra. Conkling identified the white horse as the one that drew Dr. Cronin away to his death, it is claimed that in view of the testimony of Smith and the others the state cannot establish the fact that it was Dinan’s rig in which Dr, Cronin was driven away the eventug of the murder, Biastys ieee A Noted Richmond Citizen Dead.

What Inspector General Breckenridge Has to Say About It. The annual report of Brig. Gen. Joseph C. Breckenridge, inspector general of the army, for the last fiscal year, has been submitted to the Secretary of War, OFFICERS DETAILED FOR DUTY IN COLLEGES. Referring to the work of officers detailed to | duty in colleges, the report says: Among the institutions visited and inspected three officers are said not to receive proper support from the college authorities, and of course the rcsults are poor and unpraiseworthy where this is the case. It would an encouragement to the students if the best three from each institution were named in the army register with the dis- tingnished West Point cadet. “It is recommended that no horses over seven years of age be purchased for the service and that the ration be reduced. Gen. Breck- enridge devotes considerable space to THE SUBJECT OF DESERTION. He does not make any direct recommenda- tious, but argues in favor of a more rigid en- forcement of discipline and the laws already in | farce against the crime as a remedy. A change is recommended in the manner of paying the officers and men of the army. present method is said to be a mere relic of conservatism.

PARTICULARLY AS TO OHIO, VIRGINIA AND NEW YORE—TEE PRESIDENT NOT INDIFFERERT— BE WILL GET THE RETURNS BY PRIVATE wine. Nearly every resident of Washington who has a right to vote in Virginia or Ohio has gone home to cast his ballot. From the moment the tickets were put in the field the organiza- tions of those states in Washington began to exert themselves to get all their voters wofked up to an active interest in the campaign and to get as many as possible to go home to vote. Most of the Ohio and Virginia voters in the departments bave gone off on their election leave, and some clerks ac- credited to Iowa and other states hafe gone home to vote. There are very few Ohio or Virginia republicans in the eity today. There has seldom been so much activity here during off-year campaigns and so much interest in the result as is shown at this time, While both parties claim to be perfectly con- fident, the best political authocties concede that the results in both Ohio and Virginia are much in doubt. In both states the compeetee has drifted toward personal issues, and the ele- ment of doubt in each case seems to be as to the personal favor or disfavor in which the re- spective heads of the tickets are held. IN OHIO the democrats are professing to expect much from the fact that there is some rivalry and opposition to Gov. Foraker in his own party. Their hope is in disaffected republicans, but such a disaffection would have to be very great to overcome the normal repaulican majority of the state, and it is claimed on the other hand by the republicans that the disaffection in the democratic ranks will be just as widespread as that in the republican for the reason that the better element of the patty did uot have control of the convention that nominated Campbell. Though they have nothing to say against Campbell, they are said to lack confidence because of his owing his nomination to the “gang.” The general im- pression as expressed on both sides is that the election will be close. 4 GOODLY NUMBER OF VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS have been sent home from here to vote, and it is felt that there are not many votes to spare on either side. Some idea of the a of the result is given by the fact that bot! ides seem to believe that they are going to have immense majorities, There are all sorts of reports of repeaters and money being sent into the state by both parties, and, naturally, Washington being so near, the “non-resident” voters ure suspected of being sent from here. The administration takes considerable in- terest in Virginia expecially, because ne promises to break up the solid south by carry- ing that state. If he should do so it willbe regarded as a great party victory. His failure, on the other hand, wouid be regarded as a per- sonal defeat or the result of the election methods of the state, CORPORAL TANNER NOT INTERESTED. There will be a very important election in Brooklyn tomorrow. All, or nearly all, of the local offices will be emptied and filled again, and fora number of years there will not be such a general change as will take place within the next twenty-four hours. In spite of these exciting facts there is one Brooklynite who will remain in Washington and whose view of the battle will be from afar. It is ex-Com- missioner Tanner, and over a telephone wirt this morning he said he was not particularly in- terested in politics just now; he wanted to en- joy a season of repose, RULES OF THE ROAD AT SEA. The Marine Conference Proceeds With Its Work Today. At 10 o’clock this morning the international maritime conference reconvened at the Wal- lach mansion, Capt. Richard of France made a ten-minute speech in his own tongue, sub- mitting a resolution to the effect that as soon asthe conference had deliberated upon the various questions upon the program a number of committees be appointed to take in hand special topics and consider all questions bear- ing on them, » A translation of his ‘remarks was called for by Mr. Goodrich and the translating steno- grapher abandoned his note book and traveled down the table to Capt. Richard, who provided him with a copy of his remarks in long-hand French, He read this quite rapidly, COURTESY TO THE BRITISH DELEGATES. Mr. Goodrich said that he bad prepared, at the request of his colleagues, a resolution somewhat akin to that of Capt. Richard, and he promised that the American delegates would vote for the resolution proposed by the delegate from France. He was aware that the British delegates were under instructions not to consider any topics beyond general divisions numbered one and three, and that they were quite anxious to ent short their stay away from home as much as possible. He accordingly, in courtesy to the English delegates, offered ‘a resolution to the effect that the conference proceed to the discussion of general division number three of the program next after the consideration of general division one shall have been completed. ‘This was adopted, Capt. Richard's resolution was, at the request of Capt. Mensing of Germany, ordered to be rinted and laid on the table for forty-eight ‘ours, ‘ UNIFORM LOAD MARK FOR VESSELS. Mr. Goodrich moved the appointment of a committee of seven delegates to take under consideration general division three, which treats of the topic of a uniform maximum load mark for vessels. This was agreed to, REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES, The chair then called for revorts from the committees, which were completed this morn- ing. The reading of the reports was dispensed with. Mr. Kimball, of the United States, presented a resolution providing that a committee of seven be appointed to consider the subject of life-saving systems and devices and to examine any anch systems, &c., as may submitted on or before the 12th instant. This was adopted, The conference then proceeded to the con- sideration of the amendments to the rules of the road. SPECIAL LIGHTS FOR SEA-GOING VESSELS. The seventh amendment, proposed by Dr. Sieveking of Germany. to article three, pro- viding for special lights for sea-going vessels, created some discusston, and Capt, Mesning formally withdrew the amendment. The eighth amendment came next, having been proposed by Dr. Lieveking to article 3 and others, It was “that a certain candle ower be substituted as a standard for the visi- biity of lights, mentioned in these rules. in lieu of the standard now in force.” Capt. Mensing asked that the consideration of this amendment be postponed until the report of the United States light house board on this subject could be received. Capt. Sampson saw no necessity for post- ponement. for he could not imagine a universal system that would be satisfactory. Mr. Hall agreed with him, but Capt, Mensing proceeded to argue the case at length. DOESN’T KNOW WHAT CANDLE-POWER 18, Admiral Bowden Smith said that he agreed with Capt. Mensing as to the desirability of holding to the phptometric system of testing lights. He urged that the rales when finally adopted should contain references to the uum- ber of miles in which the lights are to be vis- ible. ‘Jack don't know anything about what @ candle-power is.” he said, “but he does know what two miles means,” Mr. Goodrich thought this the gist of the whole matter: “You can’t make a scientist of Jack Tar.” he remarked, “nor can you bire a scientist in Jack Tar at $15 a month.

Boynton to a Sran mains mystery until time shall be no more. North Dakota will seek in vain for testimony which shall indicste that it was admitted to the Union a few gratifying seconds in advance of South Dakota and South Dakota can hunt until the crack of doom for evidence that would | give it a slight seniority. The question: “Which first assumed the dignities of statehood?” must forever remain unanswered simply be- cause no one knows. “Oh, but the President must know,” re- marks somebody. He does not, though, and here is the reason why: On Saturday the President received tions, deficient only to the extent of his signa- ture, The question of priority atonce came up and it was found to be ditticult to decide. South Dakota had been the favored one im times when everybody supposed that North Dakota was going to be left out iu the cold asa terri- tory and every South Dakotan was satisfied that his geographical subdivision would be regarded as the superior, North Dakotens said that that wouldu't make the slightest difference; their territory would nati have precedence just as one would naturally, in calling the roll of states, mention North Carolina before its sister to the south- ward. Itwasa grave situation for the Presi- dent to be in and he evidently realized it, but he steered his way out without difficulty, The two documents, aulooked at, were laid face downward on the desk on a shect of paper and then they were shuffled until even a three-card monte expert couldn't tell "tother from which. When this s' of the game been reached the proc ions were turned faces upward but protected from the gaze of the curious and everybody else by the sheet of paper upon which they had been laid. The sheet was slipped aside until the blank gpaces for the presidential signature were exposed; the apie © was appended; the ink allowed to dry; the proclamations turned over once more and again vigorously shuffled. The two Dakotas were admitted to the union of states, and although one of them was ahead of the other just the length of time | it took the President to write his name history will never be able to record the nameof the leader, Itisa profound mystery and it will always be so, WILL NOT AFFECT THE SENATORS’ TERMS, According to the well-established custom the standing of the Senators of the new states as regards the length of term will not ip any way Sorta upon the order of the admission of the 8 Under the Constitution the Senate must be divided as nearly us may be into three equal classes, their terms expiring two years apart, When the first Senate was organized tho question of which individual Senator should have the short, which the longer and which ths longest term was decided by lot, and since then the same plan of settling this question where new states have come in has been resorted to. If this old custom is adhered to, as it no doubt will be, none of ‘he new Senators will have any precedence, ex- cept such as fate gives him. 4wo ouy Of them can get six-year terms, The other six will be divided equaily between the shortest and the middle-term classes, GORGE MANTZ STILL IN JAIL. Tue Question of Admitting Him to Bail to be Argued Tomorrow. The municipal election in Baltimore tomor- row is of more than ordinary interest on ac- count of the fusion ticket run in opposition to the regular democratic nominees, The strug- gie has been asharp one, and according to statements of members of both committees every vote will count. One of the strongest democratic workers, it is said, is George Mantz, who recently shot and came near killing Mr. Edmund ©, Blunt in this city, Since Mantz’s commitment to jail anxious inquiries have been made concerning the chances for his release on bail, as the republicans and fusionists say his detention is worth at least one hundred or two hundred votes to them. Mantz’s influence among the sporting men in Baltimore, it is claimed, might change that many votes. DR. THOMPSON'S STATEMENT. In order to secure his release on bail a physi- cian’s certificate is necessary, but Dr. Thomp- son’s statement proved a stumbling block for the defense. While he thought the patient was much better and will ultimately recover he would not say that he was out of danger. Mr OA Williams, counsel for Mantz, was to have made a motion for bail this afternoon, but he postponed action until tomorrow. ‘The caso will be argued by Mr. Armes for the government, who will con- tend that the Police Court cannot accept bail in such acase under the law and that if such bail were accepted it would be void and could not be collected. At present it does not seem robable that Mantz will be released in time to take a hand in politics tomorrow, a Going to Virginia to Vote. Among the few newspaper men who will be absent from Washington tomorrow for the pur- pose of exercising their rights as citizens of other states will be Mr. F. A. G. Handy. He goes to Orange county, Va., to vote against anybody who be- lieves Mahone has any rights which ought to be respected. “I don't know just how often I shall vote,” said Mr. Handy to a’Srar reporter this after- noon, “I am not fully informed as to the situation in Orange. don't know how many ballots ara needed.

A hotly contested game of foot ball was played on Saturday afternoon between the Du- ponts of Northwest Washington and the first eleven from Kendall Green. The match took place on the former's grounds, corner 17th and T | Streets northwest, in the presence of a large | and enthusiastic gathering, including many ladies, Owing to the late arrival of several of the players it was decided to play only one-half | and when the referee called time neither team had succeeded in scoring a point. The Ken- dalls won the toss and started the game with a dribble, gaining about five yards. They soon Jost the ball, however, and the Duponts, by good rushing, assisted by a succession of mag- nificent runs by Reynolds and E. Brainard, carried the ball within 10 yards of the Ken- dails’ goal. The Kendalls were, however, laying a magnificent defensive game and the jponts were unable to get any nearer, and the ball was consequently during the rest of the game kept between center and the Ken- dalls’ goal. The tackling of the Duponts was especially fine, thus making any long runs on the part of the Kendalls impossible. E. Brain- ardof the Duponts made anumber of fine spurts and by his dodging and “chucking off” gained many a yard for his team. ‘The Duponts were played 4s follows: Graf- ton, center; Chandler, 1; Reynolds, 2; M. | Brainard, 3; Weaver, 4; Merrill, 5; Burns, 6; | E. Brainard and Miller, half backs; Burroughs, captain and quarter back, and Hess, fuil back. This is the third tie game the Kendalis have played this year, viz., one with the Urients, one with the Johns Hopkins and the game of Sat- urduy.
