Brussels, Nov. 19.—The anti-slavery congress has opened here. The Prince d« Chimay, the Belgian minister for foreign affairs, presided.

He congratulated the king and the Belgian government upon the initiative they had taken. Baron de Lambermont, the Belgian minister of state, was unanimously appointed president of the congress.

The imperial ministry retired peacefully when informed of their deposition, and the provisional cabinet was formed. Chicago, Nov. 19.—The defense in the Cronin case has begun its attempt to explain away the evidonce against the accused men. One of the first and most important witnesses thus far examined was Peter Koch who lives near the Carlson cottage. Koch said he introduced the then Detective Coughlin to Kunze last April, at the former's request, the officer saying he was desirous of procuring papers, which Kunze claimed to have, relating to the fight between the whisky trust and the Shufeldt distillery and the attempt to blow up the distillery with dynamite. Coughlin took Kunze away and got him badly intoxicated. Then they came back and Coughlin searched Kunze's pockets and took a letter from Secretary Burroughs, *of the whisky trust, and a telegram from Thomas Lynch, of the Shufeldt distillery. Kunze afterwards said he would not have lost the papers for $1,000, but also said he had a more valuable paper, which Coughlin did not steal. Dock master Charles H.

Schaack was recalled but refused to give his notes of the description given him by Dinan of the man who had hired the white horse on the ground that they were his private property. The ex-captain was an unwilling witness and soon became choleric. He denied that his first statements regarding what he had been told by Mrs. Conklin and Dinan differed from his last, and his evidence was of but little benefit to the defense. The IndeiDendance Beige publishes an important document which indicates what will be the policy of the Congo Free State at the conference and the measures which will be taken for the suppression of the slave trade. The report propot.es that in order to combat the evil efficaciously, cruisers will be placed on all affluents of the Upper Congo, and that the Free State be placed in a position to occupy with military forces all routes which lead to the south and east of the Soudan to the sources of the Congo.

James Hyland, a laborer, swore that on Sunday night, May 5, he and his cousin Joremiah, called at O'Sullivan's house at 7 o'clock, went out to a saloon and had several glasses of wine. The witness greatly resembled Coughlin, and the purpose of the testimony was to show that it was Sunday night and that the men were seen in the saloon by the witness Nieman, and that the men he took for Coughlin and Kunze wore the Hylands. Jeremiah Hyland was the next witness and bis testimony was substantially the same as that given by his cousin, the preceding witness. Kunze was called to the stand by the defense to afford the jury an opportunity of noticing the likeness between the two men. On cross-examination witness said that last week when he read it in the papers was the first time he remembered being in the saloon mentioned, and he had not been in it since May 5, except that night. Financial Aid Asked. Shrewsbury England Ketchup. Finest Canned Tomatoes, and The report adds that in order to accomplish this the Free State must be provided with the necessary financial assistance.

Secretary Rogers, of the Philadelphia club, announces that Catchers Clements and Schriver and Pitcher Gleason have signed League contracts for 1890; Clements and Gleason have also signed Brotherhood contracts. Each nation having commercial and territorial interests in Africa will be jealous of them, and ever watchful, probably, against assigning to any other nation a part in the plan of abolishing the slave trade, which, through abuse, may enable it to augment unduly its hold of power in fast developing the continent.

Occupancy and use should be the only title to possession of land. The taxes upon land should be levied upon its value for use, exclusive of improvements." There was practically no opposition to this resolution. A committee of two, consisting of Mr. Powderly and A. R. Wright, was appointed to meet with the farmers in St. Louis, Dec. 3. A resolution was passed urging that in the eleventh census statistics covering mortgages on houses and farms be oollected. After a long debate on the question of allowing the order to take part in political elections, it was resolved that the general executive board be giveu power to take the report of the committee on legislation, examine it in detail, and publish to the order from time to time such information as will be oi benefit to them in voting for the different candidates for legislative honors, and also to recommend to the order such actiou as they may deem wise.

Stift went into Gleason's saloon and had a drink. He was positive as to the date, for on that day he attended the funeral of an old friend and in the evening he learned of the promotion of Lieut Brennan to be secretary of police. On cross-examination Whelan said he did not tell the coroi\ar'8 jury that last time he saw Coughlin on the night of May 4 was 7 o'clock. On the contrary, he was with the suspect from nearly that hour till 10 p. m. Witness said that he and Coughlin were sent to search for Smith on May 7. While out Coughlin stopped and talked with a man whom Coughlin subsequently told witness was Smith, the driver of the white horse. Why Coughlin did not arrest Smith witness could not tell.

In an interview last night he said that on previous occasions of pecuniary need his mother had always applied to him and obtained the sums she asked for. Recently she wrote to him that she expected to realize £650 on the crops gathered from her Bordentown estate, which she had for several years stored in expectation of an increase in value. Mr. Parnell thinks his mother's income and crops have been attached, pending the result of foreclosure proceeding.

STALEY Flour Washington, Nov. 19.— Senor Valente, the Brazilian minister, last evening received two dispatches from Rio de Janeiro, fully confirming and corroborating the news of the overthrow of Dom Pedro II. One of the dispatches came from Bocayuva, the new minister of foreign affairs, and merely announced the success of the revolution and the organization of the provisional republican government. The other, from Minister of War Constant, announced the establishment of the republican government, the formation of the new cabinet and also that the dethroned emperor had been directed to leave the country. Everything in Rio, the dispatch stated, was quiet and tranquil. Henor Valente declined to state w hcther he had been requested to resign or whether he intended to resigu, merely stating that his resignation was a matter for future consideration.Confirmed at Washington.
