KANSAS CITY, October AT Independ-
ence, to-day the crowd of curious ones was
even greater than on yesterday. A number
of old friends were admitted to the Jail to
talk with james. He seemed in excellent
spirits, and expressed entire confidence in
bis ability to clear himself against the
charges that may be brought against him.
His wife visited him during the
morning. At the hotel Yesterday he
wrote upon the register Frank James,
wife and child" remarking that it was the
first time that he had signed hisreal name in
sixteen years. There were a number of bid
ders for the autograph, but the landlord de-
clined to permit the register TO be cut.
James's appearance strongly indicates the
rapid approach OF consumption. Although
he asserts that he is in good health, it is
evideni that he is considerably broken phys
ically, il not in spirit. II is the general
opinion that he confidently expected to be
admitted to bail yesterday, and there
is no doubt that he could give
bond in any amount that might be de-
manded. The regular term of the Criminal
Court occurs in November, but it is thought
that Judge White will give hearing to the
application for bail before that time
There Is great difference of opinion here as
to the probability of sufficient evidence being
obtained 10 convict him of the charges pre-
ferred in this county. Opinions also are
greatly at variance as to the chances for a
pardon in case of conviction. Maj. Edwards
states positively that james had no eucour-
agement further than that offered in the let
ter from Gov. Crittenden, published yester-
day. The prisoner will be held at INDIE
pendence until further action is taken.
FRANK JAMES SAID TO HAVE BEEN IN CHI
CAGo.
CHICAGO, October Ut has keen discov-
cred that Frank james spent last week in
this city, sleeping at night in house under
the assumed name of Pratt, and spending
the DAYS on the West Side in consultation
with friends from Missouri with reference TO
his surrender. The letter 10 Gov. Crit
tenden is said to have been written here
and carried to 81. Louis for mailing. One
United States deputy marshal here
became aware of his presence here and swore
out a warrant before a United States COM
missioner charging James with robbing the
United States mails. For some unknown
reason, however, the deputy made no effor,
to arrest his man. james left for Missouri
Monday morning. Previous to coming here |
he was at Quebec and Cleveland.
ALL IN CUSTODY.

THE BARRED WIRE CASES.

Litigation:between the Kiesgo Galvanized
Iron Fence Company and the Washburn &
Moen Manufacturing Company, which has
been several weeks on trial, was decided to-
day by Judge Gardiner, in the Superior
Court, against the latter in favor of the
Wsshburn & Moons monopoly in barb-wire
fence patent. Jacob Hash alone held
out, and threatened to appeal to the United
States Supreme Court To secure their mo-
nopoly, they were forced to settle with him
on terms which practically gave him the right
to manufacture 1000 tons of wire a year
without paying any royalty, while all the
other licensers paid three-quarters OF a cent
per pound. Judge Gardiner to-day held that
this settlement was in violation of the terms
of the coniracawjth the various licensees, and
that the defendants should be enioined from
collecting any future royalty from the
Chicago Galvanized Wire Fence Company.

The astronomers say that the
star of Bethlehem, which blazed
out in the heavens in all its Won
drous beauty at the time of the
birth of Jesus Christ, may be
looked for in our heavens now at
any time. This is is the wonder
full star which is said to have guild
ed the Magi to the stable where
lying among the straw, wrapped
in his swaddling cloths, was the
Nszarlne baby who was to govern
the world by His great love- a
king In Judea. The star of Beth.
lehem was last seen in 1872. 1t
then shone out suddenly, where DO
star was visible before, and was 80
bright that it could be seen at
MONDAY. Then 1t gradually faded,
becoming fainter and fainter every
dey, assuming the most varied and
beautiful hues as it did so, until it
finally disappeared altogether.
This' wonderful star is also be-
lieved to have been seen in the
year 1864 and 942 you wish to
know where to watch for its ap.

A Formidable War Vessel.

Lieutenant. Commando r. NJ. g.
Brown, commanding the United
States torpedo ram Alarm, reports
to the Navy Department as fol-
lows: "The trials have been entire.
ly satisfactory In showing that a
vessel of considerable size can be
steered and propelled by screw
alone, without rudder, so that
small vessel is capable of carrying
the largest sized gun, and aiming
it with certainty and precision. By
means of this screw, the vessel can
be turned il place on i!s axis with
q moderate steam pressure, making
q complete circle in two and one
half minutes, which is certainly
less than half the time duplicate
vessel could complete the circle by
means of q ruddsr and speed of
twelve knots Ri hour, and whereas
the latter vessel would require q
circle OF one thousand feet TO turn
In, the Alarm turns absolutely on
her own axis without visibly NOV
ing from her position. AS far as
can be judged, the mechanical
working of the screw was entirely
successful, no trouble OF any Kind
having been experienced with it.
The vessel attained speed of near
ly liz knots, or 133 miles per hour.
Had the motive machinery and
the vessels stern been constructed
especially for this screw, the same
weight of machinery would have
given speed of about Is knots, or
Is miles per hour. For torpedo
vessels and rams it is indispenss-
BILE for maximum efficiency that
they have the power of changing
their course instantly, turning and
backing-in brief, OF maneuvering
with the rapidity and hardness Of
q small boat with oars. The NAL
lory screws not only admit of this,
but they are the only means thus
far proposed that will effect these
ends. therefore am of the opin-
ion that the development of this
form of screw will be of great bene.
fit in any system of naval coast de-
fenss. The Alarm now appears to
be in good condition, and 1 trust
and believe that she will prove an
efficient vessel for war purposes.
I consider her the most formidable
vessel in our navy"
