emptorily challenged 10y the state when his

recently appointed a guager az South Chi

According To the statement by Lawyer

is the man whose confession WAS obtained.
Solomon turned over to the states-attoney

list had vet been summoned and neither was

Hanks while they we're seated in the conrt
room, just behind the Cronln suspects,
whom they were guarding. Hanks had
said $1,000 would he given for fixed juror,
half to the man in the box and half TO the

AN INVITATION TO GOBBLE.
The English Want Uncle sam to Anne,
the Sandwich Islands.

The English Want Uncle sam ia Annex
the Sandwich Islands.
LONDON, Oct i2.-The Times says in view
of the amount Of English capital invested in
the Sandwich islands, England could not
see them pass into the hands of any foreign
power with indifference; but that their
acquisition by the United States would be
regarded with more equanimity than their
spoilation by any European power, TO which
the British government would never sub
init. The whole tone Of the article points
10 the desire that the United States
government may see its way clear
TO gobble up the islands, and the writer's
intention IL evidently 10 encourage
Uncle Sam 10 adopt such a course. II the
present Tory government, OF which the
Times is 10 some extent the mouthpiece,
has any axe 10 grind by inducing the United
States 70 depart from its traditional policy
of minding its own business, few people on
this side of the water expect to see II sue
ceed. WeD-informed men here under
stand that the scheme for the acquisition
of territory thousands Of miles distant
distant from its shore, is not likely 10 find
favor in America.

THE COPPER MARKET.
Heavy Demands For the Red Metal Out.
come of Syndicate Collapse.

Heavy Demands For the Red Metal Out
come of Syndicate Collapse.
Engineering and Mining Journal; From
the reports received from all quarters il il
evident that that the demand for copper for
domestic consumption Is at the present
time exceedingly heavy. We also hear on
good authority that there are scarcely my
stocks of copper at the lakes, and that
orders have lately been coming 20 rapidly
that lake companies are practically sold out
up TO the end Of November. The foreign
bankers who hold stocks in warehouses have
now altogether withdrawn from the market
and decline TO quote at any price. The
quotations in this market are unaltered at
lie. for Lake. lOkc. for Arizona, and l0c
for casting brands.
An item Of interest in connection with the
collapse of the notorious French Copper
Syndicate is that during the past week the
commercial tribunal of the Seine has inn
posed heavy fines ON the directors of the old
Compton d'Escompte. for their notion re-
garding the operations Of the Societe des
Metaux. Commenting ON this the Journal
snys; "The decision Of the French courts
condemninR the directors Of the So
ciete des Metaux and Of the Comp
toir d'Escompte bank TO enormous
penalties for having made and guaranteed
contracts thnt they had no legal right 10
make, Will teach a wholesome. though very
severe lesson.
''lhe court hns decided that the directors
who held seats in both companies, the presi-
dent Of the bank, and the managing direc-
tors heirs must pay $3.OOOO00; that ten
other directors must pay Sl,20O,OUO, and
that $4,000 must be collected from the
banks censors. The contracts were clearly
in violation Of the banks charter and by
laws. This is the outcome Of the effort TO
corner the worlds production Of copper"

BERLIN, Oct. 12.-It is believed that at

objects OF the Berlin treaty, and IA final
stroke that all the great powers excepting
France, were united 10 prevent OF shorten

ence Of the English squadron at Kiol was
meant to impress upon the czar the fact Of
English cooperation, just AZ Emperor Viii
liam's visit 10 Constantinople marks

peace league. Bismarck is reported
as advising the czar that in view Of this
coalition, Russia had best adopt policy Of
Cancellation. recognize Prince Ferdinand as
ruler of Bulgaria, and aid the other great
powers IN eilecting a permanent peace, a
programme that will ultimately result IN

UNION PACIFIC CHANGES.
General Manager Kimball 10 be Sue
ceeded in a Very Few Days by
Edward Dickinson.
An Advisory Position to be Ore
ated for the Retiring Mana
ger at Omaha.
&. :. Mellen to be Promoted and IN H.v.
Charge Of All the Tramc of
the Road.

OMAHA, Oct, u. - Especial. Anothe
sweeping change is to be made in the oficial
ranks of the Union Pacific. II means IN 9
retirement Of I. l.. kinihall from the posi-
tion of general manager and the appoint
ment Of Edward Dickinson as his successor.
The statement that such a change is TO b q
made in few days may be traced TO ".
Holcomb, vice president of the road. who
made il prior 10 his departure for Boston.
II has been known for some time that A
deal Of this kind was on foot, and
that unless the officials in Bos-
ton interfered 1t would be consummated
inside of the next ten days. The latest ad-
vices from Boston are 10 the effect that no
opposition will be made 10 the change, and
that IL will be made AT the meeting 10 be
held in that city ON Wednesday next.
Upon the appointment of Mr.. Dickinson
as general manager, the department of as
sistant general manager will be abolished.
II has been decided 10 extend the iurisdic-
tion of q. S. Mellen, general traffic manager =,
over the entire system, and confer the title
of general traffic manager on him. Tn e
heads of traffic and supply departments will
then report direct 10 the vice-president.
The duties Of the general manager will be
confined to operating exclusively, and di-
vision superintendents, superintendents Of
motive power and heads Of the operating
departments will report direct 10 the gener-
al manager The jurisdiction of the latter
at this point will, in all probability, be ex-
tended TO Ogden, which will divest the gen
eral management of the consolidated sys-
tenn Of the Wyoming division. II is semi
officially announced that Mr.. Kimball will
not sever his connection with the Union Pa
ciic, but on the other hand will be re-
tanned in an advisory position. The
office Of third vice president is 10 be created
for this emergency. Mr.. kimball's head
quarters will be at Omaha. and his duties
will be confined 10 transactions with the
Boston Office. II is thought that u circular
will make its appearance announcing the
above change inn short time. Mr.. Kimball
is expected to return from Boston Monday.
