Verdict in the Critchlow Case Ex- pected Tonight. TOMORROW'S GREAT FOOT BALL CORTES? King Humbert Addresses the Ital- ian Parliament. i} A UNIQUE CEREMONY. STRIKER CRITCHLOW'S FATE. - It is Expected That It Will Be Known To- night. Pitrsnuna, Pa., Nov. 23.—There are 180 Homestead strikers who are indicted for the crimes of murder, treason, aggravated riot and conspiracy to be tried at the present and De- cember term of court, Little more than two- thirds have been arrested. About 140 have | Deen bailed out in the criminal court or by | Alderman MeMasters. Of thiy large number | Hugh O'Donnell, John Clifford and Sylvester | Critchlow were held without bail. | The trial of Sylvoster Critchlow onthe | charge of the murder of T. J. Con-| nor, Pinkerton detective, | who was wounded during the battle at the barge landing at Homestead on the morning of July Cand afteriard died in a Pittsburg §hospital, was given preferences because, it is suid, the prosecution had the best case against him on this charge of any that were indicted. Sylvester Critchlow is also charged with ag: gravated riot and with conspiracy. The remarkable trial now drawin has excited wide interest. produced positive evidence by two wit nesses that Critchlow was on the Car-| negie Company grounds during the prog- | ress of the buttle, one of whom testified | to seeing Critchlow ‘laying behiud the steel barricade deliberately aiming a gun at the | open door of the barges and fire a gun about the same time of day that Connors received the wound that caused hix death. Other witnesses for‘ the prosecution—all of them employes of the Carnegie firm—testified | toxeeing Critchlow at various times during that memorable day and that he had a gun in his handa. The defense, however, endeavored to prove | an alibi, and to all appenrance liave made avery good case. The pleas argued by the defe: were that that the Pinkerious, being non-resi- dents of the state, hud no right to come as an armed body to imerfere with private citizens, and the establinment of an alibi, upon which they confidently expect the acquittal of the ac- | cused. The speeches of the attorneys on both sides of the case have been masterly efforts, espe- cially those of Attorney Erwin of St. Paul, who, in his opening address, made himself the sub- ject ofagreat deal of quiet ridicule by the members of the bar on account of his ‘wild west” apread-eagie style of oratory. He re- | z toa close | ‘The commonwealih | dreas tothe jury last evening, which was a polished and mosi forcible effort. The impartial rulings of Judge Kennody are also the subject of much favorable comment. Thomas A. Marshall today delivered the closing address for the defense and was fol- lowed by District Attorney Burleigh for the prosecution. Judge Kennedy then began his charge to the jury. ‘The case will go to the jury late this after- noon, and a verdict is expected this evening. The committee of the United States Senate investigating the Pinkerton system arrived here this mornigg and at 2 o'clock this afternoon will begin thetr first soasion in this city. A number of persons with knowledge of the Home- stead strike and riot have been cited to appear before the committee. = A MOST UNIQUE CEREMONY. Raising the Flag Over the Turkish P: fon at Chicago. Curcaao, Inx., Nov. 28.—The star and cres- cent of Turkey flies from a flagstaff in the scaffolding from which the Turkish pavilion is to rise at the world’s fair grounds. ‘The ceremony of raising the flag took place in the presence of ail the sultan’s subjects who have come to take part in the exposition as well as many | | A most unique ceremony it wus. The most solemn ritesof the Moslem faith were performed by the Turks. A snow-white lamb, perfect and without blemish, the pick of a flock ef 5.000, was led to the sacrifice, Reverentialiy stood the sad-eyed sons of Mo- hammed, with arms in praying position und eves turned skyward. The hand of one of the Turks held a keen-edged scimetar, A prayer by the prelate, a petition to the great prophet punctured with solemn salaums and the man with the curved steel kneeled be- | side the sacrificial victim. A silken sash hid its two big eyes as the neck was bared beneath the thick growing wool. As the knife wus laid upon its flesh the blood gushed forth an effendi stooped low and thrust his hand deep into the bleeding gash. The prelate drew his hand from the neck of the sacrifice. The effendi sprinkled the blood upon the foundation of the sultan’s pa- vilion. Down came the stars and stripes in saluta- tion as the red flag of the Ottoman empire with ite white crescent and lone star was floated from top of the staff. Thus Abdul Hamid iI formally announced himself a patron of the world’s fair, and his faithful subjects pledged anew their allegiance to him in this diswnt land. The slaying of the sheep was typical of Abra- ham’s willing sacrifice of Isaac, which God stayed at the last moment, bidding Abraham to substitute for his son a lamb. ‘Then the two high priests calledaloud in Turkish: “*Patishoene Pok Yacho” (God give long life to the sultan and tho President of the United States). ‘This was repeated three times by all the Turks present. Takki Bey, commissioner to the fair from Turkey, then addressed the as- semblage, after wh'ch everybody was invited to the tent of the sultan, where the guests were served with a luncheon. 2. see WELLS SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED. England's Arch Gambler Rans Away in an Ocean Steamer Fitted Up asa Private Yacht. Loxpox, Nov. 23.—Truth, the paper which exposed the swindling operations of Wells, an alleged dealer in patents, who was recently coa- demned by the court to pay £240 back to one of his victims, today eays that Wells purchased some time ago at Liverpool an ocean-going steamer and fitted her up sumptuously as a Private yacht.

Her departure wasso hurried that the men who were still at work on hor had to leave at ten minutes’ notice. Truth adds that British warships ought to capture the steamer and her owner wherever they ure found. Mr. Labouchere, the editor of Truth, is mak- ing things as lively as possible for Wells. It was his expose of the man's swindling opera- tions that drew public attention to him aside from his gambling and which led one of his Victims to seek in the courts to recover the money Wells had swindled him out of. ‘The first attack Truth made upon Wells was headed “The Biggest Swindler Living,” and in Special attention is | it Mr. Labouchere identified bim with the Wells Miedto ‘our line ct’ Motera Cooktag sud Heating | who has been reported as having made enor- mouy winnings at the gambling tables at Monte Carlo.

New Yon, Nov. 23.—There is every reason to believe that a clear day tomorrow will find 30,000 or more: people at Manbattan field to witness the Yale-Princeton foot ball game, The demand for seats is unprecedented and spplications are still pouring in upon the committee of the University Athletic Club hav- ing the management of the game in charge, notwithstanding that the last seat was sold ten days ago and standing room is at a premium. ‘This demand comes from all over the country and does not represent simply college men and graduates, but the general public seems to have become suddenly imbu with the idea that foot ball ina greater than dase ball, and the national ‘game will be foot ball for tomorrow at least. Of the multitude that will pack the stands and inclosures perhaps 5,000 people are able to appreciate the fine scieutifle points of the game, but that will make little differ- ence, for no sooner will the knowing ones’ begin to applaud s bit of clever tackling "or running than the sir wil resound with anders of plaudits from the dense throng that has received an intimation of the point. To the experts the will bea treat, partaking somewhat of the nature of a nicely planned battle, \d even to the out- siders the enthusiaem and’ energy of the play on both sides cannot fail to muke itself appar- ent. They will surely be able to appreciate that the fundamental principle of the game is to carry the ball into the territory of the enemy. Already there are seen about town many streaming ribbons pinned to the lapels of manly couts and fluttering from the bonnets and cloaks of fair wearers. The hues are the blue of Yule and the orange and black of Princeton. The latter colors are more prevalent about the streets than the former, however great the chances of Yale may actually be over Princeton ‘One young lady, from whose costume beau fal satin streamers of black and orange seemed to fairly bristle, said that the culors were wfully pretty and so becoming, don’t you think?” it is definitely determined by Capt. MeCor- mack that Yale wili be represented by the same that took the field on Saturday at Spring. id, which seems a very wise move on the part f the doughty warrior. The fact that his men came out of the battle without a mark or injury speaks well for their prowess, and the experience ned in a match with so powerful wn antago- nist is of infinite benetit to the men. It is rea-, souable, alse, to suppose that Yale's plan of action will also be very similar to that at Hampden Park, and thate strong and aggres- sive attack will be made upon those points where Princeton is expected to be weakest. With strong battering at the places in the New Haven to be most likely to succumb early in the game, it will probably be a lively first half, and if Yale's expectations are realized two or three men on the Princeton line will be expected to quit and give place to substiutes. Capt. King will probably come in for a large share of at- tention at the hands of Yale rushers. How Princeton may be ablo to withstand this sost of prewure cannotbe exactly figured, as there may have been a little “possum” somewhere in the reports that have come from | the New Jersey town, It may be that the New | Haven people are reckoning without their hosts Capt. King has dropped his crutches and:assumed command in a pf manner that lends an air of confirmation to this theory, However little the game looks to be in Princeton's favor a battle may be put ny by the cripples that will surprise the people who have predicted an easy thing for Yalo. ‘The betting is in favor of Yale, at odds vary- ing from 2 to 1 all the way to 5 to 1, with 2 to1 in plenty that Princeton will not score. This latter offer seems rather | good bet to get a short end of on such favorable terms. roe KING HUMBERT’S AMBITION, He Tells the Italian Parliament It in to See Italy Strong, Prosperous and Great. Rome, Nov. 23.—The Italian parliament was opened today by King Humbert in person. The queen and ladies of the court were present in the gallery and were heartily cheercd. King Humbert was given an enthusiastic reception. In opening the session his majesty said: “The year drawing to a close will be long memorabie | in our history. The ancient glories of Italy have furnished fresh causo for legitimate pride. My soul is still penetrated with the feelings stirred by the homage recently received at Genoa from representatives of the most civilized nations. ‘Thee assurances of sympathy and respect are much the more — gratifying in view of * the unity of purpose binding my house and peo- ple. regard what is done for me as all done for my people. Ieee in the honors bestowed upon me in Genoa universal testimony that Italy maintains her position as the unwearied | supporter of concord and peace. My govern- ment, in concert with ite allies, endeavors by vigilant care to preserve Enrope from any cause of dissension. Your labors will commence amid guarantees of peace.” Adverting to the finances of the country his majesty «aid: “Equilibrium will be attained without increasing taxation. Billa will be in- trodaced giving elasticity to the revenue and promoting reforms in taxation. Measures will also be introduced to bring about reforms in the army and they insnre that our military strength will not be weakened b; the maritime postal services ‘and providing for | the completion of the railway and canal sys- tem.”” In conelnding his speech King Humbert said: “Victor Emmanuel cherished the noble ambi tion of restoring Italy to the Italians. He at tained the fulfillment of his wish in our Rome. For myself [am attracted by an ambition to connect my name with the economic and intel- lectual renaissance of our country and to see our dear Italy strong, prosperous and great, such as those who suf- fered and died for her in _ the past pictured her future to themselves. I de- tive comfort from the affections and wisdém of my people and parliament. Let us ever pre- serve a strong faith in ourselves, activity. con- cord in our desire for well doing and to feel and act so that our work, far seeing at present, be crowned with biessings of the future.” At the close of the specch the whole assem- binge rose and gave the king a fervent ovation. paressotias by FIGHTING FOR SILVER. Lobbying Among the Delegates to the Mon- etary Conference for Bimetal Brussexs, Nov. 23.—Gov. Van Hoegarden of the National Bank of Belgium will give a re- ception on the 7th of December in honor of the delegates to the international monetary con- gress. Leading financiers have been invited, and the affair will be very brilliant. A great deal of lobbying is going on among the delegates, those of one view on the subject of bimotaliem trying to win ovef the others. The result seems to be in English hands. A delegate who favors bimetalicm says that France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Rus- iar the United "States aad todin eb belt: ing large stocky of silver, would be ouly too pleased to join’ with Great Britain in establishing a bimetallic union; Germany would have no motive for remeining outside; Egypt and the English colonies would follow England's ll the south American states, if only from considerstions of conven- ience, would range themselves in line.

Naw Youx, Nov. 22—A rumor arrived in| the metropolis this morning to the effect that | Mr. Charles Slater, son and heir of | Col. Slater, Washington capitalist, hod been married to Miss Cora Van Tassel, a versatile interpreter of ‘Fan-| chon the Cricket,” “Capitola,” “Topsy” and other melodramatic roles, who played ut Harris’ ‘Theater in Washington last week. The rumor said that Mr. Slater had courted Cora onl: few days; that they were married at Cobb's Hotel, whore the actress was staying, and that the husband would join his pretty bride in this | city today. Incidentally it is mentioned that Charlie is not yet twenty-one, while Mise Van Tassel has | been of ago for at least three years. It is said | that Mr. Slater, sr., has not yet learned of the marriage of his son. | Mtise Van Taesel e's ‘ing at the Wilton | Hotel, west 27th street, where she received a reporter this morning’ in the apartments of Mise Marie Douglass, also an actress. Mise Lillie Chambers, « pretty branette who | is playing at the London ter this week, was also ot during the interview. When the reporter announced his errand all | three ladies laughed, Miss Van Tassel louder than any one, but none of them acted sur. prised, except at the publicity the rumor had Miss Van Tassel admitted that she bad heard of such a rumor, but doubted that it bad come from Washington. She said she had learned it from a New York newspaper man who called on her last night. = “Oh, he had a whole column‘§written “up | about it,” chirped Mise Van Tassel, “aud he Pedigree aud Mr. Slater's written and he said: ‘What wil Charlie’s pa say? “Indeed, I told him he'd better say: ‘What will Miss ‘Vag Tassel’s family say?” I come from a real old Knickerbocker Dutch family, I do, and even if Mr. Slater is rich, I consider myself every bit as good as he is.

Miss Van Tassell was the lead- ing soubrette in the “Fate” Company and which was at Harris’ last week. At Cobb's Ho- tela reporter was informed that during Miss Tassell’s stay a young, well-dressed and refined young man, who said that he was Charles Slater, a son of John G.

Sprouse wanted to know this morning whether he was arrested for the Bridge- port affair, where two men “were killed and thrown into the creek, or for the Sand moun- tain shooting. When questioned about the Bridgeport mar- ders he refused to talk. John Sprouse, brother of the prisoner, was on the train and held several whispered consul- tations with him. ‘The deputy marshall ex- pressed considerable anxiety lest an attempt should be made to secure their prisoner. —————— CANAL SCANDAL, THE PAN. AMA Mme. de Leaseps Says That the Investigation Will Show Who are Guilty. Paris, Nov. 23.—Madame de Lesseps, wife of Ferdinand de Lesseps, is at the country house of the family at Chesnaye. Madame de Les- seps has been interviewed by a writer for the Figaro. She said that she had no fear as to the result of the trial, which she now regarded as inevitable, and would simply prove who was actually answerable for any alleged wrongdoing in connection with the Panama canal. Madame De Lesseps said, earnestly, that she was confident in the inflexible and ab- solute probity of her husband and his sons. A representative of the Figaro was also per- mitted access to Count Da aera ‘The vet- eran seemed sadly enfeebled by age and illness, and seemed to be in entire ignorance of recent events. His family make strenuous efforts to keep him in ignorance. ‘The criminal prosecution has given a blow to the effort to restore the Panama canal enter- prise. The scheme is regarded by financiers as miserably weak. It it pointed out that even assuming that two-thirds of the work could be finished for the amount now asked for, which is a very large assumption, the canal would not earn even its working expenses until the other third was finiehed. As for the securities to be taken over by the new company when the covenanted two-thirds are finished there is no element of financial strength in that direction. The lottery bonds and shares of the old company represent its only assets, and “these precious securities can never have any marketable value until the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific mingle in the center of the isthmus. ” Charges and countercharges continue to be exchanged in regard to the responsibility for the failure of the canal scheme and to fraud- ulent transactions in connection therewith. Notwithstanding theexcitement among the pub- licand the scene in the chamber of deputies, it is believed in political circles that the parliamentary investigation will not seriously disturb the mass of corruption connected with the Panama un- dertaking and that the criminal prosecution will prove a fiasco. ’ ‘The three conservatives and six members of the left who were yesterday elected by the cham- ber of deputies ‘as members of the Panama ee a committee and Sepa Soyer jaen ied, proposed to be re-elect - pee ng sey co yprencteed edtene wen w the election of more members of the right,who would be nominated by their colleagues. ‘The motion of M.

In view of the appointment by the President | of E. W. W. Griftinas a member of the board of revision the following promotions and ap- pointments were made in the assessor's office today: G. A. Hall to be assistant assessor, 8. T. Kalbfu ), A. M. Lambert clerk at $1,000, Chas. M. Davis to be clerk at $900, he More Marines Needed. Col. Charles Heywood, commandant of ma- rines, in his annual report to the Secretary of Navy urgently recommends that the marine | corps be increased in number. He says that the present mall force is called upon for such varied employment that it has been impossible to properly guard the government property at navy | yards, and the men are very much over- worked, it being very rare that they have better daty than day off,” while the men in army never have lets than five off duty. The com- mandant says that the recent disastrous fire in the New York navy yard which damaged the Cincinnati's engines would not have occurred if the number of marine sentinels had not been | very much reduced in order to guard Camp _ Low during the cholera scare. ‘The commandant recommends that the new jarmy legislation relative to desertions be extended to the marine corps, and jhe urges that the condition of the ine Band. which is a matter of national | pride, be ciassified and improved. In order to encourage the marines to save money it is sug- | gested that the naval act to provide for do- | posits of saving of seamen be extended to the | marme corps. | An earnest pled is made in the report for the | issue of an order assigning the marines to duty to man the secondary batteries aboard ship, which work they performed with great pro- [ficiency until detached by an order from the | department. ee ee Dredging Gowanus Bay. The War Department has decided to readver- | tise for proposals for dredging Gowanus Bay, New York harbor. In answer to the original | advertisement two proposals were roceived, one | from the W. H. Beard Dredging Company and one from the International Dredging Company. | The contract was awarded to the Intter com- pany, which put in the lowest aggre- gate bid, but the Beard company con- tested the award on the ground that the bid was irregular. Inspection was made, with the result that bids were found to be defective one containing a reservation in favor of more time in the event of a cholera epidemic and the other including a condition | involving the operation of the eight-hour law. For these reasons both bids were and new proposals have been called for. Mr. Blaine Steadily Improving. Mr. Blaine is improving steadily.
