The Decision of the Court of Appe ais
Gives it to the Democrats.
ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 30.-The State
Board of Canvassers met last night and
pursuant to the decision of the Court of
Appeals, unanimously declared Osborne
(Dem.) elected in the Fifteenth Sena-
torial District, Derby (Rep.) in the Six
teenth and Nichols dem. in the Twenty
fifth.
The Board then unanimously agreed
that, as Sherwood had been declared
ineligible in the TWEEN ty- seventh Dis
trict, he was not elected.
1t was unanimously decided to leave
the question, whether any other pers on
had been elected to that office, to be
determined by the Senate.
The decision of the court instructed
the State Board of Canvassers to use
their discretion in the Fifteenth,
Twenty fifth and Twenty-seventh Dis
tricts, but to declare the Republican
elected in the Sixteenth District. The
court also decided that Mr.. Sherwood
was ineligible for the Office of Senator.
The decision in the tested Assem-
bly, election in the First Onondaga
District was in favor of the Democrats,
giving the certificate to Patrick ].
Ryan instead of David A. Munro, jr.,
Republican.

Democrats. With the decision and
findings of the Board of Canvassera the
Senate will stand upon organization 16

cision against Sherwood's eligibility by
the Court of Appeals, seats him, the
Democrats will have the casting vote

London Detectives Hunting for Her, But
She is Likely EnroutO to America.
LONDON, Dec. 3O,-When the Bothnia
reached Queenstown yesterday Scotland
Yard detectives searched her for Mrs.
Osborne, but failed to find her. 1t is
thought probable that Mrs Osborne
caught the City of Paris at Que stown
last Thursday and is now on her way to
the United States
AS the warrant out for her is for OBJ
tanning money under false pretense, she
would be safe AS the case charge is not
extraditable. The Liverpool authori-
ties are keeping a sharp lookout at all

The Kaiser Likely to Visit America

LONDON, Dec. 30.-From inquiries
made in behalf of the German EN- bassy
relative to the sailing of the Teutonic
add from reports that have come from

pected that the Kaiser will travel by
one of his minor titles, probably as the
Count of Ravensberg. The Teutonic
will leave Liverpool for New York on
January 10Th. and if the Kaiser goes
it will probably be on that date, unless
he should be offended by the discovery
of his plans.

Trial OF Klncaid for the killing OF an
Ex-Congressman wnl be Fought on the
Above Ground.
WASHINGTON, March 2S. The trial Of
Charles e. Kincaid for the killing of ex-
Congressman Taulbee, of Kentucky,
will open here to-day. The trial will
attract widespread attention, as the
witnesses come from such distant and
widely separated parts of the country
as Massachusetts,, New York, Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana, Alabama and Louisiana.
Mr.. Taulbee was shot on February 2S,
1890, and died in the following month.
The shooting grew out of trouble
which had existed between him and
Kincaid for nearly two years and It was
started by the publication by Kincaid,
who was resident newspaper corre-
spondent, Of an article about Taulbee
Of sensational character.
This story appeared one morning in
the newspapers Of Washington and as
1t concerned Kentucky people, Kincaid,
who represented the Louisville Times,
telegraphed II to that paper, as we'll as
TO the New York Morning Journal, one
Of the papers wiring him for the story.
The affidavits fled in the criminal court
relating to the summoning Of witnesses
Indicate that the plea of self.defense
will be made, as it is stated that the
witnesses are TO prove that Taulbeehad
made threats against Kincaid. Twenty
1--WE witnesses for the government and
about the same number for the defense
will probably cause the trial to be pro-
longed for week at least.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 23.-The max
imum freight bill causes trouble. Fri
day night the independents demanded a
call Of the house. 1t was begun and
Senator Taylor was absent. The SER
geant-at-arms was sent after him. He
was placed on board special Burling-
ton train by railroad lobbyist and sent
TO Omaha. On arriving there he started
for Council Bluffs. Two deputies went
after him. He left Council Bluffs on
the early train for the east, presumably
for Virginia, his old home. Meanwhile
the senate remains in a dead lock, as
ten senator's refuse to dispense with the
call of the house.
Members utilize the senate chamber
as dining and sleeping room. II they
are weary Of their self-imposed impris-
onment they make no outward manifes-
tation or complaint. To-day both the
re ublicans and democrats will make
overtures to the independents in the
way of a proposed compromise TO the
obnoxious maximum freight rate bill,
pledging themselves TO aid in the pas
sage demanded by the people, but less
harsh in its restrictions than the one
now pending. The indications are, how
ever, that it will not be accepted. But
five more days of the session remain in
the senate and one in the house.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Gen. Joseph
E. Johnston died of heart failure at his
residence in this city at 1918 o'clock
Saturday night. With him at the last
I1oment was ex-Gov. McLane, Of Mary
land, and the nurse. His death was
vary sudden and few moments before
the dissolution there was no outward
appearance TO indicate it. He then
gasped feebly once or twice and the
great leader Of armies had himself
obeyed the last summons.
Gen. Johnston had been confined to
his room for several weeks past and
during the last few days had gradually
grown weaker. His death was so peace
full that Gen. McLane could not for sew
eral moments believe that the general
was dead. There was not sigh, not
movement: his heart ceased to beat and
he sank to rest as peaceably and as
quietly as babe to sleep.
In addition to his heart trouble the
general had contracted a severe cold
when he recently acted as pall-bearer
at The funerals of Admiral Porter and
Gen. Sherman.
