ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 19.-Governol
Hill gave hearing at three o'clock yes
terday afternoon, on the application Of
the Governor Of the State Of Delaware foI
requisition warrant for Jimmy Hope,
the noted bank robber. Hope is wanted
in Delaware to serve sentence Of ten
years for burglary, imposed in 1878. He
had served but two months there before
he escaped. Hope is now in the custody
Of the warden of the Tombs, New York,
and is present at the hearing, being reE.
resented by Lawyer Charles Brooke. ms
Henry d. Macedonia Assistant District
Attorney Of New York city, represents
the people. Hope was brought from Cal
ifornia to serve out an unexpired term in
Auburn Prison, whence he escaped in
1872. His counsel claims that Hope has
a right TO return to the state whence he
was taken by the authorities of this
state, and that the Governor has no right
to issue warrant for his being taken to
another state until he has had reason
able opportunity to return TO California,
The decision was reserved.

report was published in q contem-

and without the slightest foundation. -

The Morning News also stated that the
statement was false and that the reporter
who wrote it had no foundation for the
statement.
The EVENING JOURNAL did not say
that Mayor Harrington was about to
enter suit, or intended to enter suit. It
said he was considering the matter.
The paragraph printed by the
EVENING JOURNAL was true and correct,
except in the last sentence regarding the
papers. How much foundation the report.
er had for the article follows. In conyer-
sation with Mayor Harrington in his law
office on Saturday, in regard to the letter
he had written to Mr.. Swiggett, B,
the mayor spoke of the articles
inf ttbe Wilmingtonian Democrat and
said he had been considering whether or
not he would bring action for damsges
stating at the same time what particular
line Of legal action he had contem-
plated.
The mayor also took a folded package
ofpapers from desk and holding them
up said: ''There are the papers The
aeporter supposed they were the legal
papers, He has since learned that they
were the comics of the Wilmingtonian
Democrat containing the libelous srti-
cles.
Mayor Harrington said this morning
that he never had conversation
with any person on the staff
Of the Daily Republican, in regard to the
case.
Certain contem poraries have SO much
difficulty in finding news that when they
are beaten on the same they are apt to
deny its existence. A little more
enterprise and truthfulness would put
them in better light before the com.

A Young Negro l'ersuaded to Imperso-
nate Another Man.
The Republican gang at Seventh and
Market streets, it seems, is not only deter.
mined to have every colored mans taxes
paid whom they can get to pay them, but
they are determined to have the tax re-
ceipt of every blessed negro on the
assessment list and they are not particu-
lar by what means they arrive
at the results, as the following
story will demonstrate. A youthful look
ing colored man applied to Collector
George Mckee yesterday and offered to
pay the taxes of a man named Albert
Perkins. He gave his residence as the
Fourth ward. Mr.. McKee's suspicious
were excited by the mans youthful an.
pearance and IN asking him his age he
replied that he was only IL.
OF course he got no receipt. Perkins's
mother was seen about the matter this
morning and she confirms the statement
that young Perkins is only II wears Of
age. She further states that her son did
not want to have anything to do
with the matter, but a man named Sew
ell came and almost forced him to go up
to the Askew Building, at Seventh and
Market. There he again protested against
being driven to the perpetration Of the
fraud, telling his age, but the men in.
sisted that he should go and get the re.
ceipt, with the above result.
Il Is the opinion of several gentlemen
who have been spoken to about the mat.
ter that the Republican bosses do moi
care for the franchise Of the individua
coons, but what they want is the tar
receipts locked snugly in their safe. or
these they can vote a nigger both al
nominations and elections, and the whole
Republican organization win be in their
hands.

that none were Ia the houses until they

marched through the streets in battle

Harry Taylor was the first witness for
the defence. He lived in Dobbinsville
Mr. Vandegrift's first question about an
occurrence early in the evening
brought an objection from Mr.
Biggs, who claimed that such evil
dence was not relevant to the case. The
point caused long argument. during
which Mr.. Vandegrift quoted authorities
In support of his ground. The court
finally allowed Mr.. Vandegrift TO proceed
on certain lines. Mr.. yandegrift desired
to prove that the Hungarians melted a
riot early In the evening, which was

cerning territorial legislation by con-
gress, he said: II think there is little
doubt that South Dakota and Montana
will be admitted at once. AS for North
Dakota and Washington territory. an
enabling act will probably be passed at
this session. Idaho has not the neces-
Sary population for admission, though
she is very rich in minerals. As for
New Mexico, | don't know enough to
give an opinion. Montana is one vast
field of gold and silver. while iron is
there in great abundance. 1t isnot
being worked to any extent at present.:
except to be used as tiuX in the re-
dnctiDn of the finer ores. The smelling
works started operations three days ago.
l am president of the company, and
with me are associated many of the
wealthiest men in the territory, besides
Eastern capitalists. We propose to
smelt gold and silver, which will then
be shipped East to be refined. Iron
could be worked to pay well if it would
only pay to ship the ore East. but the
freight amounts to SO much that we are
not touching it yet. as we have no blast
furnaces for reducing it,"

WORKS WITHOUT WAGES.
A Canine Official Who Is Rough
on Rats.

oti
Clerk Spencer, of the United States
district court, has a canine pet in the
form Of a bull terrier who Is as fine a
specimen as ever groWled at tough meat.
Although as pale as cottage cheese. he
was not made SO by fright, paint or dis
sipation, and he is an example Of moral
ity worthy the emulation of ali young
town decorators. HIS consanguinity eX-
tends from his tails ultimatum to in
finItude, his nearest relative being his
sire, who has taken many prizes in East
ern kennel shows. His fidelity. and
solicitude is never more manifest than
wnen he is chained and asleep. He is
model dog in every respect, and would
look real well stiff and stuffed by some
frSt-class taxidermist. He was dis
covered about three years ago and
considering he lives on raw meat and
innocence. he is very well preserved
dog for his age. When Mr.. Spencer,
after much hesitation. made his ac-
ouaintance and managed to bring him
to ST. Paul from his aristocratic kennel
in the East, the first thing in order was
to name the beast. After much cogita-
ton, it was concluded that he possessed,
in measure, the taciai characteristics
of an old friend named Peters, and he is
so jealous of the name that he groWls
when it is mentioned to him.
He is an athlete of no mean ability.
While he does not hold any rubber med
ais for club-swinging. he Is on the right
road to the pound and fame as pedes-
trian. His muscles and teeth are very
hard, and are always sticking out with
an admenishing air. When in danger
of a sudden elevation in life and limb,
