Mr. Hampton appeared and took his seat to- day, leaving Mr. Brown the only Senator who has not taken his seat at the present session. THE PRINTING DEFICIENCY BILL PASSED, © Mr, Hale, from the committee on appropria- tions, reported back the small deficiency bill (150,000 for public printing and binding and $250,000 for preliminary printing of the eleventh census) and, at the suggestion of Mr. | Ingalls, made a statement on the subject. He | said that the amount appropriated for the public printing for the present fiscal year was | $2,291,118—only one-half of the amount to be | expended in the first six months. Tho de- ficiency provided for in the bill was needed to complete the work forthe first six months, without touching the last six months. There | might have to be another deficiency bill to cover that time, but, of course, nobody could | tell now about it.

Cutcaco, Dec. 17.—Attorney Forrest was at his office tonight and early this morning. When seen by # reporter he gave one of his merry metallic laughs and said: “I really can say nothing. I have reason to be satisfied with some of the re- sult, What I shall do, I don't know. I think Coughlin, O'Sullivan and Burke have some chance yet, That willappear,I have no doubt,” WHAT THE VERDICT AMOUNTS To, Discussing the question of a second trial of the Cronin case a local paper says: The su- preme court of Illinois has already held in the cases of prisoners like these adjudged guilty of Cronin’s murder that no second jury which can be impannelled can increase the de- gree of punishment inflicted by the first or original jury, and thet any such provision im the law would prejudice the case of the pris- oners in the rehearing. The second jury may, therefore, decrease the sentence, but can under no circumstances increase the penalty—that is to say, in case of a new trial being granted the three prisoners, Burke, Coughlin and O'Sulli- van, @ second jury cannot extend the term of life’ imprisoment to capital punishment. but they may alter the terms at their discretion to a less number Of years or confirm the original sentence, namely, that of lifeimprisonment, or entirely acquit the prisoners, WHAT BOLAND SaYs, Kansas Cry, Dec. 17.—Police Judge Boland of this city a member of the Clan-na-Gacl triangle, was interviewed on the result of the Cronin trial last night. “Mark my words,” he said, “Coughlin, O'Sullivan and Burke will never go to the penitentiary. They will be ac- quitted on their secoud trial, Ob, they will geta second trial all right.
