THE CASE.
Nothing New vet, But Talk aud Gossip of
All sorts.

BUTTE. Aug. WHATS new in the
asked and it shows that interest in it has
not abated in the least. All sorts of
talk and gossip about the guilt or limo
cence of the accuscdhave been circulated.
One report was circulated that Col. In
gersoll had been engaged to defend
Hickey.
Ryan. the detective. has been at work
for some time. or ever since it was pub
lished. to secure evidence that will dis
prove the story of Kinney of the Clipper
Shades. who said he was with the ac-
cused men when the murder took place.
y story is going the rounds explain
ing how Hickey was brought into the
meshes of the detectives. 1t is said that
one of them secured a sample of Kelly's
penmanship and practiced upon it until
he could write a good imitation of kcl-
ly's writing. That he then wrote to
Hickey to the effect that he wanted to
get out of Butte and would like to 60 to
Boise City. As the story goes. Hickey
replied. and it is said that he wrote to
this effect: That Kelly should not think
Of leaving yet: that it would look bad.
and that Boise was not the place to go
to.
The alleged exclamation Thank God |
am not" which Mr.. Allen says was ut
tered by a man standing by a telegraph
pole with what appeared to be a club
in his hand the night of the murder,
when he asked the person is he was a po-
liceman. is said to sound just like an
lrishman's remark.
The detectives claim to be able to
break an alibi for the three men, while
again it is said that Ryan has made a
bad mess of the whole affair. All the
developments. however. will probably be
brought out at the preliminary hearing;
at least what will be considered sufficient
to hold the men now in jail.
Judge McMurphey has decided to call
another justice of the peace to sit with
him in the preliminary hearing of Kelly.
Deeney and Hickey, set for Monday
next. but has not made up his mind
which one he will ask.

HELENA, Aug. 10.-lSpecial to the
TRIBUNE. THE examination of the par
ties arrested charged with the murder of
Penrose was postponed until tomorrow
at Butte on account of the ~unsafety of
the court room. The floor threatened to
give way. Great interest is taken, the
court room and corridors being crowded.
The sympathy of the miners seems to be
with the accused and they are confident
they will prove their innocence.
The supreme court handed down a de
cision today discharging Mcknight. 1t
holds he did not have to answer the
question as to his informant; also that
the main charge is not within the acts
defined by the statutes as contempt. So
Mcknight goes scott free.
Mrs. Ry. Zeigler committed suicide this
morning by shooting herself in the Sec

WILL CUT SHERMAN.
Farmers Are Said to Not Care Who Is
OhiO's Governor.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Aug. Especial
to the TRIBUNE.HSherman is the target.
The alliance does not care who is elected
governor of Ohio. Referring to the SEN
atorship a leading light gives out some
political information. Col. L. L. Polk.
president of the Farmers alliance, is
at the National hotel and Jerry Simpson
is stopping on X street to recuperate
after his very fatiguing tour of speech
making in the south. The constant
strain on his lungs and the wear and
tear of continuous travel have tired him
out completely. and it will take a week
or more of rest to make Jerry
himself again. The Kansas con
gresham says the air of Wash
ington is good and he has no doubt of
being in thorough trim for renewed ora
torical efforts in a short time. He will
deliver three speeches to rural New York
audiences in the latter part of this
month, and in October will go to Ohio
to take a very active part in the state
campaign. He will have as coadiutor
Ralph Beaumont, one of the best known
alliance speakers, and it is quite prob
able, though not fully settled on, that
President Polk may also take a hand in
the Buckeye canvass.
What is the significance of all your
speakers engaging in the Ohio fight"
asked a Post reporter of the gentleman
high up in alliance counsels.
"We are in it to down John Sherman"
was the prompt reply, delivered with
emphasis, land we are sure to retire
him. The boys are after his scalp, and
they are certain Of getting it as they
were in the ease Of Ingalls, or Hamp-
ton. We are not caring very much about
the gubernatorial contest. Let that go
as it will, with either Mckinley or Camp
bell victor. What we are after is the SEN
atorship. Sherman is marked for retire
ment and out he goes. doubt even
whether his lame will 60 before the leg
i~slature."
"What's the matter with Sherman"
"Why, his financial policy, of course.
He clings to old ideas in finances and
will learn nothing new. He doesn't rec
ognize that conditions have changed and
that what was a good system half acent-
ury ago is not adapted to the needs of
the present"
"Have you any idea who his successor
will be?"
"No, that has not been given much
thought. The keynote Of the struggle
will be to defeat Sherman. Any man
who has been mentioned in connection
with the place will be preferable to the
present incumbent. ] am not specially
enamored of MI. Foraker, but would not
hesitate a moment in taking him if the
choice lay between the two"

TRADE REVIEW,
Outlook More Encouraging All Along the
Line and More Confidence shown.

New YORK. Aug. 1.-R. G. Dun Il Co.'S
weekly review of trade will say: With
business in many lines disappointingly
dull a feeling of confidence nevertheless
distinctly increases. The belief increases
that the country will be able to sell such
vast quantities of grain abroad and to
draw so heavily upon the more even sup
plies of capital that all home industries
will be greatly stimulated.
Monetary difficulties are still in the
future, for though at some southern
points markets are light supplies at
western centers are adequate for legiti-
mate business and mere speculation
gets less help than usual. The depres-
sion in some great industries continues
and is real, but may be traced to a cause
previously not permanent. Thus all
manufacture is much set back by the
inability OF railroads to make purchases
because they fail to negotiate securities.
Wool manufacture is distinctly i'm
proving. In mems wear goods there is
more encouragement and many western
buyers % here have from home advices
that goods are selling more freely. Spring
orders are still short of small amounts
and last year clothiers bought too much
OF cheap. low grade goods. In dress
goods a fair commission business is seen,
domestic products largely taking the
place OF foreign. Reports from other
cities reflect growing condolences in the
future.
At all western points crop p~rospects
are almost everywhere men
toned as unsurpassed. Financial
prospects have not changed, and
though money on call is cheap, CONNER
cial loans are made with caution. Large
failures have occurred, but none threat
ening financial disturbances. The tone
abroad is less strained, and the Bank of
France has gained gold largely, but a
pressure in Europe must result if needs
for breadstuffs are as large as is sup
