mined Before November.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 6.-In an inter-
view this afternoon with a reporter, Gov.
Hendricks was asked: What do you
think will be the resnlt of the Butler can
vass?'
"That is very difficult to answer. Mr..
Butler is unquestionably a very d anger
Gus man before an audience, and he will
attract large audiences, and were the
election TO occur to-day 1 should be in
clined to cOncede him a considerable vote,
but the weakening process is going on
steadily. People do not like to throw
votes away. The certainty that his
election is impossible under any
circumstance will deter many of his adj
miTers from voting for him. 1t is also
impossible for him to effect as perfect an
organization as possessed by either of the
old parties. But Mr.. Butler is a remark
able man, and those who know him best
admit that he is a very good One.'
''If the Chicago Convention had placed
your name at the head of the ticket don't
you think that you would have had his
support"
II know it," said Mr.. Hendricks, warm
ly; 81 know it."

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 6.-Another step
was taken in the Federal Court to-day in
the Blaine-SeatiHeL matter by the filing of
the following:
The defendants move the court for a rule
aga nst the plaintiff in answer to the inter
rOgatOries ii ed with the answer OF the de-
fendant, and that the court shall make such
rule returnable at such time as may be
deemed by the court to be reasonable for the
purpose of said action, as by statute provided
and required.
The argument could not be had on the
motion to-day, and, inasmuch as Judge
Woods goes to Fort Wayne on Monday to
hold court, the matter will probably not
be ruled upon for several days. The
plaintiffs counsel have not refused to

INFORMERS INTERVIEWED.
An interview has been had with in
formers Casey and Philbine, who claim
that they swore falsely against Myles
Joyce in connection with the Mann
trasna murder case. Casey declared that
the murders-himself, Michael Casey,
Patrick Casey, Patrick Joyce, and three
others. One of these was a wealthy
farmer who is still living near
Maamtrasna. This man insti-
gated the massacre and held
the lamp while the family were mur-
dered. 1t was he too who compelled them
to return and murder the aged grand
mother. Casey asserted that Joyce, Tom
Miles, and Martin and Patrick and John
Casey were not present. The interviewer
was impressed that Casey was telling the
truth.
Freemdn'S Journal alleges that the gov
ernment-is we'll aware of the truth of
Casey's statements, and again demands
that new public inquiry into the case
shall be made.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Sept. g.
There was a big run on the National
Bank here to-day, police keeping back
the crush. 1t was rumOred that there
was a deficiency of 100000. No one
doubts that the late cashier of the bank,
Charles S. Hill, committed suicide. Gov.
Albeit has appointed DR.. G. NJ. Slack
County Clerk, the position having been
made vacant by Mr.. Hips death.
The bank stopped payment at 12:45
O'Clock. The run was tremendous and
the surplus was exhausted. Cashier
Hips deficiency ranges from 1925, 900 to
$3.50, 900. 1t is expected that money will
be received from New York to enable the
bank to tide over the crash, M. c. Mar
tin, one of the directors, having sent to
that city for 100000. Mr.. HilI's specu-
latiOn may yet implicate others. The
result of the official examination of the
banks affairs is unknown. Mr.. Hill was
buried this afternoon
