RAISING THE CRY OF FRAUD.
Returns huve not been received from all the
counties yet and both parties have raised the
cry of fraud. The Pioneey-Press (rep) claims
(dem.) claims 1t for Ames by 5000 to 1000
These figures correspond cioseiy to the claims
OF the republican and democratic state central
committees. 1t will no doubt require the Off.

First district-WtlsOn, rep, 4,OS1; second

legislature will be republican by at least forty
majority on joint ballot The exact figures
cannot be given, as several legislative districts
have either not been reported or are SO close rs
to render the official count necessary.

THE NILSON.MOEN CASE.
Conclusion of Counsel Vests Long AR
sument-Judse Carpenter Charges the
jury and They Retire.
BosToN, Nov. l.

BosToN, Nov Is
George j. West counsel for Levi Wilson,
resumed his argument in the Wilson Moen
case in Boston this forenoon. West said:
Moen was man who testifies to the ex-
exigencies of the case. His last story did
not find life until after the last trial, when in
his own words, he thought the matter euded
forever. He seems to have two standards of
verscity and truth. The opposite counsel
quoted yesterdays statutes in relation to pun
ishment of blackmail. He should call atten
ton to the laws for punishment of perjury.
The great gigantic secret Moen had locked
up in his breast was that Levi Wilson was a
lier. All that he had to say was that he paid
Wilson large sum of money because he had
told lie. No. Moen did not pay that money
to Wilson to keep his mouth shut. He did
not pay that money to a blackmsiler. Our
theory is that MoeD was long acquainted with
the Eugley girls. He wrote a letter, signed
Wilson's name to the notes and opened an ac-
count on his books thar if he ever got into
trouble he conld charge Wilson with black
mail and use him as a scapegoat Wilson
went to England on mission and when he
returned he rendered an account of his stew
ardshp. Part of that 100000 went to the
Eugey girls. He did with the money pre-
cisely what he was told to do. | claim to
/ have proved that Pascoye's letter for
| gerry, that Neon has not told the truth, and
that the blackmail story was corrected after
the last trial. The only way Moen can get
out of his contract is by bringing in theory
| of blackmail and pressure backed by forger
! les and untruths. We claim that it a
business transaction and we want our money
The only issue in this case is who tells the
truth.
Judge Carpenter then charged the jury
briefly and they retired at two.
At 80 the jury went to dinner. There
are no signs of verdict.
| The jury in the Wison-Moen case tonight
returned verdict of 96,522. l6 in favor of
/ Moen.
! At 3 45 the jury came IN to inquire of the
court as to the computation of interest on the
notes given by Wilson to Moen, whether it
should be computed at simple or compound
interest. Judge Carpenter instructed them
that simple interest was Intended. His honor
then asked them if they had agreed upon a
verdict. The foreman answered in the
negative and they again retired. AT 80 the
| Jury came in again, and in answer to the
clerks inquiry, Have you agreed upon a
verdict, gentlemen?' the foreman replied
'We have" Papers were then handed up to
the court, and the clerk read from one of
them: "We find verdict for the defendant
and assess damages in the sum of 500, ,522 l6'
Francis Caldwell of the plaintiffs counsel at
once gave notice that bis client will move for
a new trial.

THE THRONE OF BULGARIA.
Interesting Debates Before the DeIega.
tion at Pe>th-Count Zieby Tells a
Startling Story About Russia.

PEsrH, Nov. II.
In the course of debate in the delegation
at Pssth yesterday Count Zieby related a
story TO the offers to the effect that wear
before Prince Alexander was dethroned il
was arranged between Russia and Monten-
eero. that Prince Ksrogsrgevich, in consid-
Grafton of his renounclng his pretensions to
the throne of Montenegro, would have the
Bulgarian throne, which was about to be-
come vacant.
Count Audrsssia's expression of disapprov-
al of triple alliance was loudly applaud
as was also Count Appanyis statement that
the government was not only careful about
seeing that forms were preserved intact,
while Russia wac trying to obtain material
successes.
Count Andrsssy complained that INSULT
cient use was made of the German alliance
"Austria." he said, did nothing, but expect
ed Germany to do everything for her Had
Austria worked 10 protect her interests with
vigor. Germany would have proved a good
alv."
Count Andressv's remarks on the hurtfu
influence of Russis's entering the alliance
caused good deal of discussion in view of
the rumor curreLt at the time of his An
dressy'sl resignation in October, 1879. after
Prince BIsmarcks visit TO Vienna, to the
effect that h. wanted to conclude an offensive
and defensive alliance with Germany, on
lines proposed by Bismarck namely, those
Incorporated in the treaty passed by the
Reichstag and Rchsrath He met with so
much opposition in court that he was obliged
to retire and Bismarck then made advances
to Russia, forcing Andressy's successors to
renew the triple alliance.

manded by General kaulbsrs is NJ. Mutkuroff

WASHINGTON. Nov. L

WASHINGTON, Nov. II.
President Cleveland has reinstated Maece-
mas f Benton, U. S. attorney for the west
ern district of Missouri, who was suspended
last month for participating in the State po-
litical campaign, MIR Benton wrote TO At
torney General Garland, under date of Nov.
10TH explaining that he agreed to make cam
paign speeches at the earnest solicitation of
Messrs. Dockerey, Craven and others. candi.
dates for Congress- and the democratic CEN
tral committee, and with the knowledge of
Senators Cockerell and Vest; that he arrang-
ed the date of the speeches TO in no wav con-
hct with his engagements as an attorney for
the government, and that in one or two in
stances, when h, found that his business
would be interfered with, he got other speak
ars to fill his appointments.
In conclusion he said:
| relied on the following clauses of the
Presidents letter of July 10Th in making en-
gagements to speak Industrial interest and
activity means that condemned office holders
are neither disfranchsed nor forbidden the
exercise of political privileges, but their
privileges are not enlarged, nor is their duty
to party increased to pernicious activity by
office holding. If the making of political
speeches is the cause of my suspension, can
make no defense; but if it is inferred that
| neglected my official duties by so doing,
am not guilty and ask the fullest scrutiny
into the facts.
President Cleveland wrote to Benton yes
terday, saying among other things that he
was sa isfied of the truth of Benton's expla-
nation.
The president states he did not intend to
condemn the making of political speeches by
the federal official to his friends and neigh.
b0rs, nor at any time and place where il was
incidental if the speech itself was decent and
fair, but he doesn't think such official can
enter a political campaign as canvasser and
make a long list of appointments to speak in
widely separated localities without neglecting
his duty or without taking with him into the
campaign his official power and influence.
Therefore this course is condemned. The
number of speeches he official may be able
to make without interfering with his duties
cannot be specified and this question must be
left to the honesty of the official who should
be governed by the spirit of the president
warning
The president explains the Suspension OF
Benton by stating that he read in the news
paper long list of his engagements to SPEAK
in various parts of Missouri, sometimes twice
day at the time when the president knew
the courts were in session, and he concluded
that Benton must be neglectng his duties I,
keep those engagements. He expresses him
self as satisfied that Benton did not keep the
appointments according to the list publisheC
and he didn't neglect his duties.
In conclusion the president states his opin
ion that Beuton's course in the campaign wa,
open to some criticism, but there was no ap
parent intention of violating the spirit of tht
presidents warning to office holders. Tn,
order for Benton's suspension is therefore
rasnindad
