Bkblin, C * ' .—Prince liismarck will
have another conference with the czar to-
morrow or Monday. Yesterday's con-
ference was chielly occupied by Prince
Btsniark in reading to the czar the
memoranda of the aims of the European
alliance of peace. The exact term of the
memoranda have not been divulged but
semi-official hints circulating through the
foreign oflice suggest that the chancellor
tried to convince the cz i ■ that the alliance
was non-aggressive and directed toward
the realization of the object of the Berlin
treaty, that Germany was especially in
terested in the preservation <>i peace and
as a final and impressive stroke, that all
the powers excepting >Y.mce, were united
t,. prevent,or toishorten Kuropean conllicts,
in view of the czar's friendly demeanor
toward Prince Bismarck, proves that he
took the chancellors exp isulon with good
natured courtesv. Vel, if a semi-official
note in the inspired Hainuurg correspon-
dent,Prince Bismarck must liave implicit)'
met the czar with arguments based upon
the implicit engageniei s of Kngiand and
Turkey to support the triple alliance.
The presence of an English squadron at
Kiel was meant to impress upon the czar
the fact of English co-operation just as
Emperor William's visit to Constantinople
marks the absorption of Turkey into the
peace league. Prince Bismarck is repre-
sented as advising the czar, that in view
of tins coalition what Russia had best do,
is to accept a policy of conciliation, recog-
nize Prince Ferdinand as ruler of Bulgaria
and aid the other great powers in effecting
a permanent peace program that, will
ultimately result in decreased armaments
and the increased prosperity of tin, differ
ent peoples.
The chancellor's friendship toward Aus-
tria is noted in Vienna official circles. Im-
mediately upon his return here on Thurs-
day, Prince Bismarck received the Aus-
trian ambassadors. The gracious behav-
iour of the czar toward Prince Hisdlarck at
liial evening's dinner, is'a notable chance
from bis aversion to accord the chancellor
an interview. After the banquet, the
guests adjourned to the picture gallery,
where the czar chatted with the chancellor
freely. Whil' conversing, the czar, notic-
ing that Bis:>"i;k stood, wheeled ins arm
chair toward him, aftar his long day's ex
ertions and begged him to sit down. While
the chancellor was thus seated, the czar re-
mained'standing, bending over him and
talking in a restrained and good humored
manner.
Prince liismarck returns to i retdrich
Rupe on Tuesday. Prior to his departure
he will hold a misinterial council i't which
theemperoi will preside. This will be the
last council before Emperor \\ illiam
starts for italy. In the absence of the
emperor and the chancellor^lei i Von
Boetticher will read the speech fi in the
throne at the opening of the reichstag.
The emperor has permitted Count Von
Walderseeto give free vent to his recent
attacks of the press upon his suspected
aspirations 'or political power. Pastor
Storker lias reappeared from his retire-
ment and has resumed, In defiance of the
empeivii his political agitation in the
electoral district of Siejen.
Herr Sievking, president of the lianze-
atic court of Hamburg and a noted author-
ity on maritime law, will be the leading
German delegate to the Washington mari-
time congress. He is instructed to ask the
congress to extend its program beyond the
technical questions and consider general
international maritime laws witii a view to
the acceptance of principles regulating the
settlement of disputes like the Behring
sea fishery troubles. If congress ad-
heres to the present.limits of the program,
Herr Sievkiug will propose a subsequent
special conference on excluded questions.
This line of action will probably be
arranged in conjunction with England.
Baron Struve, who has been absent from
his post at the Russian legation at Wash-
ington (hiring the past year, on account
of the illness and death of Ins wife, has

of Americans and old friends of the '"aron

dor, was present, with Mr. l'helps at the
table. At the conclusion of the dinner,
Herr Wandemann, Mr. Edison's manager

valoff was especially delighted with it and
promised that the czar would inspect the
instrument if he had time.

the elaborate report published this morn

Cronin case had beeu stolen from his office

Chicago, ills., Oct. 12.—One of the
boldest and most corrupt plots ever
brought to the notice of the public, was
outlined by State's Attorney Longeneck
er's right band man, Mr. Mills, this after-
noon. The conspiracy not only includes
county officials, but outsiders of high stand
ing and several arrests have already been
made but more will follow before the sun
sets this evening. Not content with brib-
ery of men, an attempt has beeu made to
drag oven innocent women into the plot
and thus gain the end which the friends of
the defence have-beea working on for the
last live months.
State's Attorney Longenecker desired
me te say, said Mr. Mills, who was coin-
missioned by the state's attorney to report
to the reporters, that this plot has not been
disclosed, because it would defeat i'.'Jtice
had the information we had been made
public. We cannot now give any names
c details, but an outline ofjthis conspiracy
ca now be given to the public.

will be re'ineinberei!, continued the
.forney, that on last Wednesday after-
noon an honest young man who is em-
ployed as a foreman in a large establish-
ment in this city, was examined and ex-
cused for cause. It is understood that the
name of the venireman attempted to be
bribed is (ieorge S. Tachappat. He is the
foreman tor 11. V. l'age & Co., oil mer-
chants. N'os. 44 to u4 Erie street.
On Thursday afteiuoon, said Mr. Mills,
a very prominent citizen of Chicago eli
tered the court room and very privately
communicated to the council for the state
that Ins foreman, the venireman in ques-
tion, before being called to the jury box,
had been apuroached by a bailiff of the
the court with an offer ol >1,000 lo vote for
I he acquittal of the defendants, lie says
i his is not a cock and bull story and I bring
it before you in the interest of publie
just ice.
11c then went away, and the next morn-
ing me of the counsel for the state went
down to the factory of the man whose
ft rJinan had been offered a bribe,and the
moment he saw the foreman he recognized
him as a man whose honesty and indepen-
dence had impressed itself upon the coun
sel for the state while he was sitting in tiie
jury box. The man made a full state
inent, and was requested by counsel for
the state to come to the state attorney 's
oflice ami put his statcnent in full, lite
man, with tears in his eyes, said: "It in-
volves a friend, but if it involved myst
I would uphold the law and honor." The
gist of bis statement to the counsel, which
he subsequently gave in detail to the state's
attorney, is a  idlows: "In obedience to
summons he came to the court house on
Tuesday afternoon, sat in the ante room
but was not called, lie came again on
Wednesday morning and stayed in the
ante room again, and about 1:80 a man
came from the courtroom who was an old
friend of his. t'hefact also appears that
I lie wives of the two men were old friends
before they were uiatried. The man win
came out of the court room suggested to
the venireman that they go out and have
a cigar, and the two men went lo a neigh-
boring place, and after having a cigar, and
while there, the man from the court room
said to the venireman, 'Do you want to
make some money ?'
The veniremen Innocently answered,
"certainly 1 do."
"Very well, you get, on the jury and
stick tor an acquittal and you will have
slOOO. The contract and W angeinent can
be carried out with your '. ife. it can be
arranged so that she shall wear a certain
colored dross if the money is paid her on a
certain day. If the monev is not paid to
u v on that, certain day she is to wear a
dUierent colored dress aud the contract is
to he olf."
The venireman turned reproachfully to
his friend and said: "1 am not that kind
of a man," whereupon the bailiff replied,
"I am working tor the court." lie then
pointed to a buggy standing outside and
remarked: "That is my iiuiw and buggy."
Ai noon adjournment the venireman
went oack to his place of business and sub-
sequently returned to the court house at 2
o'clock, after which lie was detained and
that will startle the continent when it is
thoroughly known, aeonspiracy of ramili-
catlons audacity, a conspiracy Involving
men whose names will be a surprise to the
country. This is no exaggeration when 1
say you cannot magnify the damnable out-
rage of tills conspiracy. In the taking off
of Dr. Cronin and the manner iu which it
was done, the whole world was startled.
The secrtndconspiracy will alike startle
the whole world. It is an assault upon
the very Integrity of our institutions.
liitillltrf Arrented.
Chicago, Oct, 12 —al Hanks and Mark
Solomon, criminal court bailiffs, are under
arrest, charged w ith packing the Cronin
jury. Judge Horton today called a special
grand jury to investigate the. matter. Ex-
Mayor lioche is foreman of the jury. The
jury met and summoned seven witnesses
tliis afternoon.
At 7 o'clock the grand jury had agreed
to return indictments against Alexander
,1. Hanks, Mark Solomon, Fred W. Smith,
Tom Kavanaugh and Tom Seunott, but
up to 7:80 o'clock no formal indictment
had been prepared.
Hanks has been a bailiff for eight or nine
years, having been appointed in Sheriff
Matson's time. Tom Sennott advised his
retention, lie has always been regarded
as a square man.
Mark Solomon was appointed bailiff ill
May, 1HH8, front the Tenth ward. Little
is known about him.
Fred W. Smith is unknown around the
court house.
Tom Kavanaugh was engaged at the
insane asylum at the "boodlers" regime
and was mixed up in that transaction, lie
is now iu business oil Franklin street ami.
strange to say, Ills partner was summoned
as a juror, when the examination of the
stale's attorney revealed Ills connection
witii Kavanaugh he was peremptorily
challenged.
According to a statement; by Lawyer
Mills, it was lite bailiff .Solomon who lirst
ittempted to bribe a ciiiz. u, (Tachappat)
who wis afterward to lie subpoemed as t>
juror. Solomon, also is the man whose
confession was obtained. Solomon turned
over to the state's attorney a list of names
anil addresses said to be prospective corrupt
jurors. Only two of tiie list had been sum
inoned and neither was yet examined.
Solomon said the list bad been furnished
lo him by HailitT Hanks, while Ihey were
s ated in the court room just behind the
Crouin suspects, whom they were guard
ing. Hanks had said 82,000 would he
given for a fixed juror, half to the man In
the box and half to the bailiffs. Last
night Mr. Mills' narrative on the list were
interviewed by chief of police. One man
stated that lie had been approached with
an offer of .$2,000 by Fred Smith, agent for
a hardware firm, to go on tiie jury, and
another citizen was also similarly an-
iroached by Hanks. O'Donnel's part as told
Mr. Mills was similar to that of Smith's,

St Loi. is and Chicago are puttiag
forth the greatest efforts to seenre the
world's fair. Kacli has raised several
million dollars and are still begging for
more. Each city has got up a map of
the country, showing the number of
inhabitants within a radius of 000
miles. Within that limit, Chicago
makes a showing of 21,914,947 people
and St. Louis 23,744,098. Chicago fall#
short nearly 2,000,000 because the ter-
ritory embraced necessarily takes in
Lakes Michigan, Huron and nearly all
of Lake Superior. St. Louis also has
he advantage of railroad mileage
within the limits spoken of. Of oourse
all of Kansas is interested in the world s
fair being held as near as possibla St.
Louai is moie accessable from nearly
all parts of this state than Chicago,
therefore it would seem wise to use ^
©Very proper iniluence to secure its
location there.
