Albert Boulton, of Albury, Australia,
has been in Chicago. To reporter he
said: The project OF consolidating the
Australian continent into one powerful
state is slowly but surely gaining ground.
Within two years q definite planfor found
ing a new ,nation will be forwarded to the
colonial office for the Endorsement OF
the crown. Before long, and with
ont the slightest cOmmotion in Eng
land or in Australia, the mother
country will see this great group OF colon
les pass into the new nation OF the United
States of Australia. Like your country,
Australia will be practically free from in
vasion. Her people have already shown
desire to be supreme in the Pacific, which
cannot be gratiiied unless her government
possesses the means OF ruling the deDenden
cies not admitted to political equality.
New Guinea alone is q kingdom in area
and rightiully belongs to Australia. As an
independent republic Australia will be
mighty maratime power. She is to settle
and govern the only valuable possession
which Europe has left for the next conquer
ing power"

Rumors Of Revolution in Cuba.

Persistent rumors are afoat in London
to the effect that there is revolution in
progress in the island OF Cuba. Dispatch.
es from Paris report the same rumors cur
rent there and are exciting attention. So
far it has been impossible to trace the ru-
mors to any definite source and the as
sumption is they have sprung up through
the belief that a peaceful revOlu-
ton in Brazil would be likely to
exert a powerful influence with the discOn-
tented republican element in Cuba. The
TACT that there is strict censorship OF
news dispatches at Havana, makes it pos
sible for a revolutionary movement to get
under way in the island. hefors any definite
Intelligence can reach the outside world.
While the rumors are not credited, news
agencies are receiving many inquiries in
regard to them and are making vigorous
efforts to run them down, or get direct in
telligence from Havana as to the actual
condition of affairs throughout the island.

Mrs. NeII's PronertN.

dispatch dated Anoka, Mimi, Novem-
Der 10 says that Mrs. Maria B. Nell has
turned over all her property to secure the
creditors OF the First National bank OF
MinneapO is, for the sum OF over SAC, 900,
for the notes she signed for F. F. Pratt.
She has signed over all her property, with
the exception OF her homestead in Dayton,
to Judge Seagrave Smith, to hold In trust
for her creditors. This property consist
OF a 40 acre tract in Minneapolis, and an.
other tract OF the same size in st. Paul,
the two being worth probably
100000. Both pieces are now
in litigation, suit having been BROUGHT
some time ago by her son in the district
courts OF Minneapolis and st. Paul. In
both courts Mrs. Nell secured verdicts in
ner favor. The son has taken an appeal
from the Minneapolis court and the mat
ter Will have to go before the supreme
court before the property can be sold. No
appeal has yet been taken from the deci
sion OF the st. Paul court, and those famil
lar with the nature of the case say there ia
hot more than one chance in a thousand
Oh Mrs. Nell being defeated. The re-
GelVer OF the bank, Mr.. McNeir, after much
nara work, was enabled to get Mrs. Nen's
consent TO this arrangement As soon as
.he suits are decided, and if in Mrs. Neus
favor, the property will be sold, or enough
OF IL TO pay the notes, which will amount
TO something over $50, 600 ali told. This

counts oil the bank, and will probably re-
iieve the stockholders from an assessment

the suits go against Mrs. Nell the bank
VIII nave to stand the loss OF the paper

Thursday, November n.

The trial is each day growing more and
more interesting because OF the directly
contradictory testimony given. Until the
defense put it's witnesses on the stand near
" every one had come to the conclusion
that at least three OF the prisoners would
be convicted How much weight the testi-
mony for the defense will have with the
jury is very problematical. They ARE now
ever leaving no stone unturned to score
point.
Patrick Oman, the owner OF the famous
white horse, testified that his horse was IN
the dime museum, and had been there
three weeks. He said it was the same
horse he had let Coughln' TREND nave on
the night OF the murder.

night OF the murder. he was in cigar store

been there for 81 few minutes he noticed q

Official Bribery in Detroit.

The grand jury, which has been investi-
eating for some time past the charges OF
bribery brought wholesale against the city
council, have added another chapter to it's
labors by bringing in three indictments
against Alderman John Chris. J acob, presi
dent OF the council. Two of the indict.
ments are for soliciting brides in connec-
ton with scheme which the aldermen
seemed to have worked for all it was worth,
exacting ten per cent commission on all
contracts they awarded. The other in
dictment against Jacob is for offering q
bride. Alderman James Tierney, Lou
Burt and John Martz were also indicted
upon a charge OF bribery, connected with

He said he was also director OF the bureau
of NEUROLOGY and has given lectures on the
subject OF microscopical examinations
since 1884. He was fellow OF the gener:
al microscopcial society OF London and
various other societies in this country:
To his ledge there was, in the present
state of science, no means by which human
hair could certainly be distinguished from
any other hair and there is no way by which
it can be scientifically ascertained that
two given specimens OF hair came from
the same head. The witness also testified
that there was no difference in the struc-
ture OF the hair of different people and
that the microscope was OF no service In
the examination OF the color OF hair, but
that on the other hand it WAS misleading.
The testimony OF this witness was con
tinued at length, and was of "A decidedly
technical character.

JUDGMENT REVERSED.
The Supreme Court Remands the Case of
Gates VS.. Brusie for New Trial.

The Supreme Court Remands the Case of
Gates VS.. Brusie for New Trial.
J. s. Williams, Deputy Clerk of the Su-
preme Court in this city, received and filed
yesterday in the Supreme Court Clerks
Office, at the State Capitol, the following
opinion:
James Brusie (respondenD VS.. Samuel
Gates, ct al. This is a Stanislaus county
case and an action to quiet title. The title
of the respondent depends upon the valid
ity of the levy of q writ of attachment on
the property, in the hands of the appel
lant's grantor, and the subsequent sale OF
the same on execution. The attachment
issued out of the Justices Court, Judgment
was recovered and subsequently, recorded
in the Recorders Office of The proper
county; an execution was issued and placed
in the hands OF the Sheriff, and the prop.
erty sold to the respondent, who was the
judgment creditor. The property was pur-
chased by the appellant from the Judgment
debtor for valuable consideration Between
the time of the levy of the writ of attach.
ment and the recording of the Judgment
in the Recorders office. Therefore the
respondents right to recover depended. in
the first instance, upon the validity of the
levy of the writ of attachment, as the ap.
pellant became purchaser before the judg-
ment became lien on the property.
After reviewing the case at length the
Supreme Court reverses the judgm ent and
the cause is remanded
