feats by jumping from the bridge here.
The bridge is forty feet higher than
the Brooklyn span
At eleven O'Clock Captain Martin and
Duncan C. Ross, accompanied by a
squad of reporters. endeavored to get
on the bridge from the Poughkeepsie
side. They found extra watchmen on
duty, and were told that orders had

spy on behalf of the Emperor. Upon
his return to, the Capital Weng visited
Li-Ijung-chang. who was greatly sur
prised to see him.
These visits by a person so close to
His Majesty are generally looked upon
as accounting for, the recent summoning
of many officials to present themselves
before the Emperor and great changes
are looked for i'll many departments.
Sir Halliday Mccartney, Secretary of
the Chinese Legation In London, de-
ciares that there is not an atom of
truth in the rumor which has been put
in circulation in the last day or two that
China has begun negotiations with Ja
pan for peaceable settlement of the
war.
Sir Halliday says that any such pro-
posals as the Chinese Government is
represented to have made, ARE not with
in sight aud are, in fact, a long, long
way off,"
The Japanese Legation here has re-
ceived no information tending to con-
firm the rumored peace negotiations on
the part of China, and little credence is
given the report in London.

LONDON, Oct. 13, 1S94.--A despatch to
the Pail Mall Gazette from Johannes
burg says the Kaffir natives have cap
tured a part of the town of Lorenzo
Marquee, on Delagoa Bay. The Portu-
guese authorities, according to the des-
patch, suppress all newspaper messages.
The same despatch announces the safe
arrival at Pretoria of Lord Cecil Rhodes,
Premier Of Cape Colony, and Major
Jameson, the administrator of the Brit
ish South Africa Company, who have
been en route for that place for some
time, and concerning whose safety much
anxiety was felt
The Galignani Messenger publishes an
interview with Henry NJ. Stanley, the
African explorer, in which Mr.. Stanley
says:-"France has set a salutary ex
ample to the British Government in the
support she has given her agents in
Africa. The efforts of agents of Great
Britain have almost always been para
lyzed by interpretations in Parliament,
and the folly of a policy of obtaining
peace at any COST"
Mr.. Stanley also said that he did not
believe that Great Britain desired to i'm
nede the French in Madagascar, but that
English merchants there feared that a
French occupation of the island would
result in the imposition of a tariff hos
tile to their interests.

the Court to defend Mahatfey objected

cause no notice of the application of

upon the prisoner. Judge Lippincott
said that was not necessary and 1T was
an eX-party matter.
Counsellor DAILY also objected on the
ground that nothing appears upon which
to found application for a struck jury.

struck jury to be drawn said Mr.. DAILY
II take it that under the act concerning

concerning struck iuries 1t means that
no struck jury can be drawn in homicide

Judge Lippincott told the counsellor
that he was mistaken, as Judge Kenny

the State having panel of jurors could
not now avail itself as aginst the de-
fendant of any other form of procedure.
Judge Lippincott set next Saturday as

tions. Mahaffey and McLaren Were then
