Recorder smythe's Decision in the Foreign
BondhoIders' Case.
New YoEK, April 1l.-Recorder
smythe to-day rendered his decision in
the Gould-sage matter. His Honor
denies the application to submit the
complaint of the Kansas Pacific bond
holders to the grand jury.
The case is that Of the foreign holders
Of Kansas Pacific bonds, who through
their counsel, instituted proceedings to
have Gould and Sage criminally indicted
for alleged misappropriation OF funds
derived from the sale Of certain portion
OF the bonds.
The grand jury, when the evidence in
the case was laid before them some time
ago, refused to find an indictment, and
counsel for the bondholders claimed that
the jury had not been rightly instructed
with regard to the statute of limitation
as it affected the case, and urged the
District Attorney to move that the
matter be again laid before the jury.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-THE
daily test vote was taken at A p. m, Mr..
Taulbee, of Kentucky, officiating as
reading clerk, upon a motion to adjourn.
This motion was defeated by vote OF
70 to 1872, a falling off OF 4 votes from the
opposition, and Il from the advocates OF
the measure MS compared with the sim
liar vote OF yesterday. After PROPOSE
ton submitted by Mr.. Oates to take n
recess until lI:45 tomorrow had been
objected to by Mr.. Reed, Mr.. Allen, OF
Michigan, rose to question OF privilege.
A New York paper, he said,
had published an article to
the effect that a portion OF
the money proposed to be refunded to
the States by the direct tax bill would
be paid to State agents. Among those
States, Michigan has been mentioned as
one which would pay 40 per cent OF the
sum refunded to State agents. He desired
to have read telegram which he had
received from the Governor OF Michigan
upon the subject. A point OF order was
here made and the Speaker having sus:
tained the point OF order Allen satisfied
himself with the declaration that the
published statement was false in every
respect.
Undismayed by Mr.. Aliens expe-
rienCe, Mr.. L. B. Taylor, OF Ohio, rose
to a question of privilege. The Speaker
warned him that nothing was in order
that did not concern the call, but Mr..
Taylor managed to say despite the gavel
and uproarious cries Of order, on the
authority OF the Governor OF Ohio, that
the statement that part Of the money
carried by the bill to Ohio's credit was
to be paid to n State Agent was a lie.
A roll call was had about 4: :45 p. m. on
Mr.. McCreary's motion to dispense with
further proceedings under the call
yeas "A, nays 1l0. Shortly after the
vote had been announced Mr.. Cox ap-
pealed to the House to take recess un-
til tomorrow, saying that he was sure
the members would all be the better for
it, Objection was made, however, and
Mr.. Cox put his request in the form OF a
motion, which he withdrew, however,
upon seeing the formidable opposition.
Mr.. Breckenridge OF Kentucky, made
another effort to adjourn the House
about 6 p. M, but his motion was lost
upon a yea and nay vote; yeas, Is; nays,
Is. :.
At7p. IN. Mr.. Taulbee asked unani'
nous consent for n recess until II :45 to-
morrow and there being no objection
the recess was taken. The clerk an'
nounced the call for u Democratic eau
Gus ut s o'clock.
Mr.. Tau!bee protested against n call
being ordered when there was such
small attendance OF members, but the
call was found to be in proper form and
the caucus was ordered.

COUGHLIN A FREE MAN.

The Case Against Him Dismissed by Judge
Gilmer.
RAvENNA, O., April ll.-John Cough
lin is n free man and the indictment
hanging over him for 80 many months,
charging him with numbering Detective
W. II. Hulligan, was nolled this morn
ing by Judge Gilmer. Prosecutor Max
son in explaining the position Of the
State in regard to the case, said: "That
they were unable to produce any new
evidence in the case. In view OF the
action OF the circuit court yesterday in
the Robinson case it would be useless to
again try this case and in justice to the
taxpayers and citizens Of Portage county
the case ought to he dismissed, How
ever, he would leave it entirely with the
court to decide in the matter" Judge
Gilmer said that under the circumstan-
ces and on account Of the able decision
rendered by the higher court in Robin
sons case, that he thought the indict-
ment should be noIled and the defend
ant discharged. This is a big victory for
the defense and they feel very much
pleased. Coughlin took the news very
quietly, not displaying much emotion.

business. He has big bunch OF them,
some from New England, some from
North Carolina, others from Virginia
and three or four from far-of Kansas,
saying nothing OF our own State. These
letters are wholly voluntary, and were
written to see whether he would object
to the use Of his name for the second
place. His answer has uniformly been
that he is not q candidate for the Vice
Presidency, but as a Republican he is
subject to the call OF his party. What;
ever the talk may amount 70, am glad
TO hear that he has placed himself in
such sensible position. Some public

is whether or not they can be removed
now. Legal opinion is divided, and il
