CHICAGO, June s. Banker Charles +.
Cook of juneau, Wis, is being driven

him is a deputy United States marshal,
with a federal writ of llabeas corpus,
which, if served, will again delay Cook S

writ was post poned from time to time
and the last argument was not finished
until this morning. Judge Baker then re-
manded Cook to the sheriff custody. In
obedience to the requisitlon that officer
gave the man to Deputy Sheriff Pratt of

of the Cook case is something of sur
prise, for Il week ago dispatches from
Wisconsin announced that criminal pro-
ceelings would be discontinued be-
cause Cook had turned over his property
to the bank creditors.

FARGO, June 9.-The trial of j. w.
Newberry was continued in the United
States court to-day. Jack Flynn, clerk
of Peoples hotel in Mandan, identi-
fled Newberry as the man who stopped
there just before the robbery, under the
name of j. Barber. The register clerk
of the Helena postoffice testified as to
the registered package of minerals, sent
by j. K. Miller. The postal clerk on the
train testified to the package coming to
them, and its robbery at New Salem.
j. X. Miller swore to the identity of the
stones as found on Newberry when
arrested. Postottice Inspector Watkins
narrated the confession of Bailey, who is
claimed to be Newberry's pal. He said
the robbery was planned in Clay county,
Texas, and the details decided upon in
Nebraska. They then rode to Manaan
overland and secured the necessary in
formation about the trains and went out
IN the country to await a good opportu-
nifty. He also told of the conversation
he had with Newberry wien he tried to
induce him to escape by requesting
that some steel saws be
left where he could get them. The horse
to be hitched at a certain place and he to
be provided with blank United States
warrant and, it was some time before he
could ascertain what the warrant was for
and then he found he intended if he es-
capped to use it, if overtaken, to show
that he was a United States officer
searching for himself. Testimony for
the defendant has not yet commenced
1t is rumored tonight that Bartley, who
was being brought here from the Sioux
Falls penitentiary to testify against his
former pal, escaped from the train at

The New Orleans Bribery Cases.

New ORLEANS, La, June 1O.-A case
which has been exciting the greatest in
terest was fixed to come up in section b
this morning. O'Malley and McCrystal
we're to be tried for the alleged attempt
to brlbe Tales-Juror McCabe. There
had been delays without end almost, in
the case, and postponements from time to
time, and the defense about exhausted it.
self in putting the trial back. The case of
McCrystal was taken up first, and at four
O'Clock the jury raised. In few min
utes it returned into the court with a
verdict of guilty as charged. The rul-
ing of Judge Baker, refusing to admit
the confession of McCrystal, saves
OMalley in this case, the only case con-
Meeting him directly with the bribery
cases. The court will now be forced to
try him upon one of the other charges,
if at all, and they are all cases of several
years ago. McCrystal was tried for
murder several years ago and was ac-
quilted, O'Malley helping him out.
Since then he has been O'Malley's faith
full lieutenant. McCrystal will to-mor-
row be tried upon another charge of
bribery, in connection with John Cooney,
another of O'Malley's men. One of the
facts much commented upon in connec-
tion with the bribery cases, is that
Adams, formerly O'Malley's partner, has
not appeared i'll any of the cases, even
neglecting to come as witness in re-
spo lse to the forthwith subpoenae.

Next Saturday They Will Select IL Place of
Meeting for Their National Convention.
ST. LOUIS, June 1O.-The advance
guard of the executive committee of the
peoples party, which will convene here
Saturday, to select a place of meeting for
the national convention, has put in an
appearance. E. L. Saxton, one of the
secretaries of the Cincinnati convention,
told a reporter that there are a number
of people who wish to go faster than is
deemed wise by majority. Many ad-
vocate placing state tickets in the field in
a number of states, while others think
such course would be unwise and have
a tendency to divide the partys strength.
"This course" said he tonight, "would
seriously jeopardize the success of the
party, as there wonld be chances to trade
votes for state officers in return
for votes for congressman. Kansas men,
however, think the fight should be made
in their state and their advice is natur-
ally of great weight. But the mass of
opinion is against it. AS to the candi-
dates to be placed before the national
convention, Saxton said variety of
names had been suggested, but, so far,
Senator Leland Sanford of California
seems a favorlte. PETER of Kansas is
ineligible, he being native of Canada.
Saxton is also of the opinion that the
Cincinnati platform will be modified by
giving less prominence to tho farmer
element.

TIE CLUE MEN IN A QrAxpARY.

Cumming held consultation with Sir
Edward Clarke, Mr.. Gill and his solicitor
in the course of the evening before pro-
ceeding home, where he denied himself
to all comers. A group of friends still
adhering to him met at the Turf club in
expectation of seeing him. Since the
scandal became public Cumming has not
been seen at the Marlborough or Guards
club, of which he is member, but has
occasionally visited the Turf circle. To-
night the members of the Turf club seem
undecided how to act. Personally, Cum
ming is liked at the club. He has
an honorable record throughout
in all his dealings with members of the
club and many are adverse to his expul-
sion. Division of public feeling upon
the verdict will be largely class division,
the aristocratic circle siding with the de-
cision and approving Lord Coleridge's
charge, while the mass of the public SYM
pathize with Cumming and accuse the
judge of gross impartiality. The Kissing
with which the gallery of the court sa-
luted the verdict was repeated outside by
the excited crowd thronging the corri-
doris. The defendants on leaving court
were surrounded by mob and numbers

LONDON, June 9.-Sir VIM. Gordon

day. The court was crowded long be-
fore opening time and interest in the
case did not seem to have diminished in
the slightest degree. The Prince of

lie is sticking" to the Wilson's and that
he will continue to do SO. No better ev-
idence of this fact is needed than the
fact that young Arthur Stanley Wilson
has been elected a member of the Marl-

upon the nomination of the
heir-apparent himself. In the course

early this morning near his home. He
was found dead on the sidewalk. The

Forest Fires in Maine.

- SKowEGAN, Maine, June 9.-Large for
est fires are raging in the vicinity of the
upper Enchanted ponds and on the Par
lin stream. The region within radius
of thirty miles is completely enveloped
in dense cloud of smoke almost sutfo-
eating. The extent of the fires is un-
known, but it is feared all the dams on
the Parlin stream and the lumber dams
there and on the upper Enchanted will
be destroyed. Nothing but rain will
keep the fires from spreading.
