WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-ln the investiga-
ton Of Postmaster Wheat to-day, Con-
tractor Culbertson swore that he carried
the mails for Dalton, the former post
master, for six years prior to December

AMERICAN PORK.
Negotiations Between Minister Phelps and
the German Chancellor

BERLIN, Sept. 27.--Information is re-
ceived from the German embassyin Paris
that Ribot, the French minister of foreign
affairs, has negotiated with Whitelaw
Reid, American minister, for reci-
procity arrangement between France and
the United States. This summarily set
ties the object of Count Kalnoky, Aus
tro-Hungarian minister, for combined
reprisals against the United States. in re-
taliation for the Mckinley tariff bill.
Emperor William never entertained the
idea of reprisal. Chancellor Won
Caprivi had conference with Herr
Miguel and accepted his scheme to lessen
the cost of living TO the masses by higher
imports on articles consumed by the
monied classes, the principle in
yolving the early reopening Of the Ger
man marketto American pork. The Official
impression here is that Minister Phelps
overtures for settlement, il renewed,
backed by some concessions on German
exports TO the United States, will find a
ready response from the chancellor.
Advices from Vienna indicate that the
Austrian government also accepts the
principle of reciprocity, Count kalnoky
having instructed the Austrian minister
at Washington Ito make representations
in the matter of pearl and other Austrian
industries affected by the Mckinley bill
with view to negotiations.

NATI0NALISTS ON TRIAL

Collectively.
A Shrewd Attack Upon Magistrate
Shannon-The Action of Defend
ants Denounced BY Coun-
sci for the Crown.

DUBLIN, Sept. G.-There is no abate-
ment in the interest in the trial of the ma
tionalist leaders at Tipperary. The i'm
preston is the government is trying 70
prolong the trial. Bessie. one OF the
crown prosecutors, this morning wanted
the cases to be tried separately, but TO
this the defendants unitedly objected.
The magistrates At last yielded and decid-
ed in favor of collective hearing.
Crown Prosecutor Roman submitted
with very bad grace and declared he
bowed 10 the decision because be must
and said he would refrain from express
ing any opinion on its fairness. The
nationalists are elated over scoring this
point.
The sensation for the morning was q
smewd attack by the defendants upon
Magistrate Shannon. After theIrprotests
against Shannon were disregarded We'd
nesday, they decided 10 bring objec-
tons ia more formal way. They pre-
pared n statement of reasons in
the form Of an affidavit, To which defend
ants affixed their signatures. This joint
affidavit the defendants took into the
court this morning and attempted TO
present il to the bench. The magistrates,
who had received no information Of the
defendants purpose, were taken COM
pletely by surprise and as soon as they
understood the nature of the document
they peremptorily declined to receive il.
Instantly Roman was on his feet de-
nouncing the action of defendants. II
was difficult, he declared, to find language
strong enough 20 fittingly characterize 1t.
The document they sought to present was
an infamous libel on Shannon. Shannon
himself pronounced the affidavit an at
tempt TO make scandal Of justice. This
expression was greeted by the defendants
with roars OF hilarious laughter.
When the preliminary matters were dis
posed OF and the time come for taking
testimony II was found two defendants
were not in the court room. A short re-
cess was taken to give time for absent
ones TO be summoned.
Ii was subsequently decided 10 adjourn
the case until Monday without taking any
testimony.

TEKoA, WASH. Sept. 27.-After n care
full investigation of the political situation
in Kootenai and Latah counties. the con-
clusion Is unhesitatingly reached that the
democrats will win in both with sweep
ing majorities.
The light Is waxing very warm. Ora
tors are rushing from place To place as the
closing day approaches. McGinnis closes
his Idaho engagement at Murray to-
night. Mayhem and Hill are here
on their way 10 Nez Perce county.
Mr.. Hill addressed enthusiastic
meetings this week in Rathdrum and
Hayes. Shoup and Sweet passed up yes
terday on their way 10 Cour d'Aleue.
When here Shoup admitted the fight
wonld be close one and that the repub-
licans had none the best OF il. In all this
upper country Mayhew's election 10 con-
gress is regarded as certain.
In Nez Porce the legislative ticket will
win beyond doubt. NJ. ID. Wright, for

popular in the Panhandle country and
can't carry one county out of the entire

Wilson for governor will run well in the
Cour dAlene country. Everywhere one
goes the democrats are making straight,
manly fight and are confident of victory.
They are handicapped by the extravagant
expenditure Of republican Doodle. Every
newspaper in the state and on the bor-
ders of Idaho, that would accept their
money, have been bought up by the re-
publican bosses. The entire county is
overrun by tooters and strikers in the
interest Of the party, and thousands of
dollars have been shipped into the Pam
handle with instructions TO carry il al
any cost.
Shoup told Mcconnell on the railway
platform here last night that the bes,
campai,nni fhat couidbe done from this
ON would be to look after the floating
vote. In Pocatello, Boise City and Wal.
lace he said 5000 had been allowed for
each place and that ought to win, but II
will not.
There is q wave of democracy sweeping
over this state that can't be stopped by
$4,000. Idaho will go democratic.
