TWO 3 000-TON ORUISERSv
The Secretary Dec.das to Build Them
m Government Navy Yards.
Washington, Sept. 18. —Secretary Tracy
to-day finally and cided to build two 3,000-
ton cruisers in the government navy yaids.
Before taking this action he made inquiry
of the leading ship builders’ firms as to
whether there was any possibility of modi
fying the designs for the vessels, retaining
meanwhile their full strength and speed so
as to secure bids within the limit of cost
fixed by congress. The ship builders were
of tho opt:,ion that t iis could nut bo done.
Ore firm replied that under such circuw
s' ncos they could reduce their bid by
$40,000, bu this would still leave the bid
far in excess of the appropriation.
HOW HE REGARDED THE LAW.
Secretary Tracy regarded the law as
mandatory to construct the ships, and hat
he had tho desired power to build them in
the navy yards if the bids were too high in
his judgtnen', even if they fell within the
limit fixed by congress. So to-day, a
already stated, he decided to undertake
the work, and orders will be issued to carry
out his inte tiom One vessel complete will
bebmlcatthe New York uavy yard, as
■■veil as tho machinery for the other, white
the hull and boilers of the second vessel
will be constructed at the Nor folk navy
vard-. By this arrangement one set of pat
terns can be made to serve for both ships,
being first used at New York and then sent
to Norfolk.
DIVIDING THE WORE.
It is believed that in ordinary circum
stances both vessels could be constructe 1 at
New York, but that yard is row preltv
well occupied with work, and it was also
he secretary’s wish to distribute the work
as far as it could bo done, having due regard
to economical construction. It might be
mentioned that, the wishes of California
; >eoplo to have one vessel built at the Mare
Island navy yard were carefully coa
s dered, but tbe fact that the cost of the ship
svou'd probably be increased by at least
#150,000 bv building it there was sufficient to
turn the scale agains it in the present in
stance, where the most rigid economy must
be observed to make the cost approximate
t e money appropriated by congress. Sec
retary Tracv is hopeful that he will be able
t > build a ship at Mare Island soon after
the plant is in place.

ROBERT RAY HAMILTON TELLS
HIS STORY IN COURT.
His Alleged Wife in Tears But They
Failed to Melt Hamilton's Heart-
Quarrels Between His Wife and the
Nurse of Frequent Occurrence.
May’s Landing, N. J.. Sept. 18.—The
court room was crowded this morning with
people anxious to hear the proceedings in
the case of Mrs. R bert Ray Hamiltou, in
dicted for an atrocious assault upo i her
chii t’s nurse, Mary Donnelly, and to get a
gimip e of tue now fatuous principals in
tlieclTxir. A few unimportant oases were
hoard aud about 11 .’clock the case of Mr3.
Hamilton was called. About the same
time the outer doors wore swung open and
Mrs. Harnilt n, the muca talked of pris i
nr, entered, leaning on the arm of Capt.
Perry, her c uusel. Immediately following
them entered Mrs. Rupp, proprietor's>
of the Nell cottage, ad Mary Ann D >n
nel.v, the wounded nurse. Taey wore
all shown seats within the rail, Mrs. Ham
ilton sitting beside her counsel. Sle looked
pale aud wau and her face showed evi
dence of the strain of her close confinement.
Ho bert Ray Hamilton a fe.v minutes later
entered the court room and took a seat be
ads Mrs. Rupp. He did not look to .va and
his wjfe. ihe work of securing a jury was
quickly disposed of, the full quota being se
lected in a compar tively short time. Mrs.
Ha .nlto t frequently sobbed aloud during
the selection or the jury and gave every
evideuca of hopeless despondency.
Mrs. Hamilton indulged a g.x>d deal in
tears during the hearing.
FAILED TO MOVE HER HUSBAND.
Her husband, Robert Kay Hamilton,paid
no attention to her, but kept a seat s one
distance from her. Mr. Hamiltou testified
that there had been many quunels between
Mrs. Hamilton aud Nurse Donnelly, aid
between himself and Mrs. Hamilton.
In mese of these quarrels le
(Hamilton) was the greatest sufferer,
oecanso wrten it was his wife and Nu so
Donnelly t st quarreled, he intervened to
keep the pence, aud his clothing suffered
from both women, and when his wife quar
reled with him his clothing again suffered.
Drink was at the bottom of many of these
quarrels. .
THE STABBING.
On the morning Nurse Donnelly was
stabbed the nurse was very aggressive, aud
after eiug ejected from the room had
ru hed back aud attacked Mrs. Hamilton.
Mr. Hamilton, as usu tl. iucerferred, and
Mrs. Hamilton seized a t.nlfo belonging to
bim which was lying on the bed, and struck
around Mr. Hamilto ,’s body.
The testimony ef both the nurse and Mrs.
Hamiltou corroborated this, although each
abused the other.
DETAILS OF HER LIFE.
Under cross-examination, some details of
Mrs. Hami ton’s life were brought out,
which a ree with the published acc unts of
b: r cha acter. Her Counsel’s objections to
this line of questioning were all
overruled. When asked if the
child was born in Pennsylvania
the witness refused to answer aud appealed
to the protection of her counsel woo entered
an objection, but it was Overruled, and ti e
question was only witndrawn when Mrs.
Hamilton statrd to tbe court that to answer
would be incriminatiog to her.
A SECOND EVASION.
Again did she look lup to the court ap
pealingly whoa Prosecutor Thompson
asked: “Are you the mother of tne child?”
Tins que.tioa was withdrawn under the
same ruing, but the incident cleariy made
an impression upon the Jury.
While Mrs. Hamilton was giving her testi
mony her husband sat ands areti at her
most of the time. Mr. Harnilt m te lifted
to the generally wre ohed stute of affairs
between himself and his wife, but his testi
mony as to the fracas in which the cutting
was done was distinctly favorable to his
wife.

FOUR JURORS OBTAINED.
A NEW THEORY TO BE SPRUNG BY
THE DEFENSE.
They Will Claim That Cronin Was

ing. in the Cronin c&se were not resumed
until 1 o'clock this afternoon, Judge Mc-
Connell being engaged ii another matt r
duri :g the forenoon. Tho work of getting

fore site adjournment yesterday four jurors
wh> had boon lepeatodly questioned by
both si. le, were prouou o,d .atisfa tory by
the defense. The eouusol for the st ite with
drew for consultation, an i oa returning the
state’s attorney said; “If the court please,
we also accept these four.” ihe fact that
at last s m-.- jurors had been selected created
quiet a sousation.

will rise and be sworn by tho cierk,” said
Judge McConnell, and the four jurors rose
and were dully sworn in. Their names are:
J ores A. Pe rs >n of Gienwo and, Charles C.

the judge’s chamber.
A NEW THEORY.
The Evening Mail to-night prints a sen
sational artiete in regard to the Cro on
case. It says: “l'he lawyers for the and
- claim to be ii possession of evidence
showing that the murderers of Dr. Cronin
were paid re; resout dives of tue E iglteh
goTornmeut who imd been duped bv
Dr. Cronin, who was supposed
by the British authorities to be
one of their American spies. The form this
evidence nas taken and in which it will be
pr seated at the trial, on behaif of t.e
defense is a nun liter of letters written by
Miss Leraron, daughter of the notorious
wit ess London 7 lines-Parnell case, to per
affianced husband, who is a well-k own
and promiuent younr Irish-American of
Chicago," Tho Journal has the same
story in substance and a ids: “In opposi
tion to the above it is claimed that at the
.roper stage in the Cronin trial the prose
cution will produce as witness T. J. Kirby,
Thomas Lecaron ad Patrick Cooney."
