Three Theories Advanced as to the
Guilty Party.
LOUISVILLE. KY. March 29.-The sensa-
tion arising from ths forgery Of warehouse
receipts here grows etesaily.
A. r. Sutton, who within the past year
has hypOthecated receipts, now thought 30
be bogus, 20 the amount of S100, 900 to Sl25.-
0O0 was still in this city at a late
hour tonight and declares his complete
innocence. He says boldly that he has
money to meet all those obligations, and
dehes any man TO show that he has been
guilty of wrong-doiDg. Banks involved
for sums estimated from $4,000 to 1926, 600
are the Louisville Banking Company
Farmers and Drovers, Fourth National
German Security German National, Louis
Vile Depository. One or two whisky
men are creditors OF Sutton. with
warehouse receipts as security
There seems no doubt now
that forgery has been committed.
Three theories exist as to the guilty man: I:
One is that Sutton is the forger, another
that it is Cohen of New Orleans, a former
agent Of Sutton; and third, that it was a
dtstiller, now dead, but once prominent in
business circles. The detectives are keeping
up their surveillance, and are only waiting
for word from some Of she banks TO Law
their hands on the strongly-suspected mer-
chant. Information was received this after
noon that a bank in Kansas CITY holds
$1,000 of forged receipts and ii is thought Dos
siole that other banks in outside cities has
been caught

Seventeen Virgluians After One Place,
The Congrs9smea in q Quendary.
WASHINGTON, March %. The scramble
among applicants for the positions of
United States marshAls, United States dis
trict attorneys and internal revenue oollec-
tors in the Eastern and Western districts Of
Of Virginia was intensified to-day. On
March % a meeting OF the Virginia delega-
hon in congress was held and a committee
appointed consisting Of Messrs. O'Ferrall
Wise and Jones 90 call upon President
Cleveland and ascertain his views regarding
the united Endorsement of the delegation for
various places. In the absence from the
city OF Messrs. Jones and Wise Mr.. OFFER
rail-, accompanied by Representative Swan
son, called upon the President to-day and
informed him that there were seventeen
applicants for one position alone
and that proposition had been made TO
these applicants that six persons be selected
by the united congressional delegation for
recommendation for appointment. The
committee declined 10 make public the
result Of the conference, but IL is under
stood that the President advised the COM
mittee to go ahead and decide as to who
should be presented for the various posi-
tions, and, while he would give due consid-
GRAFTON TO the Recommendations of delega-
tlons, he would reserve the right to appoint
whom he pleased. 10 ia also understood
that Mr.. Cleveland. in responding TO inquiries
from the delegation, who informed him that
there were several ex-office holders among
the applicants for appointment, stated that
the rule laid down with regard 60 ''eX'sn
would be strictly adhered TO. The full dele
CATION will meet again on March 81, when
the committee will report the views OF the
President in regard to the matter. 1t is
said that many of the applicants decliued
the proposition that nix persons be selected
for recommendation by the united delega-
ton, and say they will cut loose from the
delegation and exert their individual in
huence with the President.
THE ALABAMA PLAN FAILS.
The alabama plan" for disposing Of
federal offices was to-day abandoned by the
Alabama delegation themselves. The re-
peated declarations OF the President that
while he would be glad to consider recon-
mendations for office by congressional dele
cations he would not be absolutely bound
by them, brought this about Another
cause, however, was dissatisfao-
tion and rebellion among the oandi-
dates who were not so fortunate
as to secure the recommends ations of their
united delegation. Now iJ is go as you
please with the candidates and their indi-
vidual strength and merit will determine
the appointments
The West Virginia delegation is reported
to have had the same experiences with
united recommendations that discouraged
them. They presented a recommendation Of
a candidate signed by the entire delegation
and we're met with an inquiry whether the
man presented was the only one In the
state fit for the Office he wanted. What
the ultimate result of their effort was don't
appear.

The Militia Almost Sure to Make
Another Attack on Locke.
PARIS, TEX, March 29--Antlers is very
quiet to-day, but all are in an expectant
state. The militia has gone away and 1t is
reported that they have disbanded. Locke,
who is at Antlers with a few trusty men,
says he will not leave.
The examining trial of the men arrested
last night was begun this morning.
deputy marshal who went to Antlers
came back to-day. There Is a strong belief
that the town will be burned.
Solomon Bartlett, who was shot by Locke
and his men yesterday, is reported TO be
dying. It is believed that the militia will

first opportunity.

ALBANYs ARGUS.

A Change in Ownership to Be Fol-
lowed by a Change in Policy.
ALBANY, N. Y, March 29.-One half Of
the stock of the Albany Argus was to-day
transferred to William McMurtrie Speer,
legislative correspondent of the New York
sam, who secured the Cassidy and Smith
interest. The Manning, Lamont and other
interests remain undisturbed, but it is
probable that the outcome Of the
transfer will be that James II. Manning,
president of the Argus company and man
aging editor of the paper, will resign, aud
that the policy of the paper will
be changed from that of a
Cleveland organ to the state democratic
organization paper. Anthony N. Brady.
an Albany capitalist and close friend of
Senator Hill, is supposed to have furnished
most Of the money behind the deal.

mary,
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The Senate
occupied its time to-day in desultory de-
bate about the admission of certain senator's
from western states who hold nothing
more binding than a governors commits
sion. The galleries we're crowded and the
senators seemed to enjoy the fact that they
were running a strictly single ring show.
Lee Mantle OF Montana, an appointse,
whose case is made a test, was on the floor
and listened sttentively to the debate, He
is an insignificant looking little fellow. He
would find it hard sorapping to be elected
to the legislature of Georgia, even If he
was a good citizen of some county.
The Roach scandal went over because the
seats OF senators is a question of highest
privilege. Next TO q question of seats, a
scandal has the right of way in this cham
ber, and we may expect Roach to appear in
the next act.
THE GEORGIA COLONY.
There is nothing new to report in the
Georgia colony. Joe James fingers here as
if be would like to geB his commission and
be certain of it before he leaves town.
Tennie Rucker will be his first lieutenant
and George Bell of Forsyth county, a son
Of ex-Congressman Hiram z. Bell, will
be his second with salary of $4,000. Bell
was put on the slate by Carter Tate, who
lsbored day and night for Col. James
election.
There seems to be some misunderstand-
ing about the Presidents expression In
re erence to an Atlanta primary for post
master. Senator Colquitt understands
that the chief magistrate sanctioned such q
procedure, but subsequent interviews by
other persons appear to warrant the state-
ment that, while the President does not
object 10 primary in Atlanta, he does not
care to say that be will feel bound by such
an expression of opinion. On the whole he
ventured the opinion that a primary in
such cases was dangerous precedent.
POPE BARROW IN TOWN.
Hon. Pope Barrow of Savannah is here.
He don't want an office, bus he simply
stopped off to sympathize with those who
are not railroad attorneys and who do want
them.
Another new arrival is A. J. Mcbride of
Atlanta, who longs for some congenial
place in a foreign cline. Sevres in France
is a post the colonel yearns to tackle. Il is
a great crockery town, and it Is in that
species Of consular warfare that the colonel
feels that he can illustrate the name he has
hORored.
