NEW YORK, October 2s-The talk OF n

ters that prominent leader In the

Cleveland would write no direct letter
bearing on the State issue, but that he
might declare himself in a ringing let

throughout the United States. In which
he would make special allusion 10 the

NOT SOON. AT ANY RATE.
The same authority said that II Mr.
Cleveland d1 write a letter on the con-
gressional situation, taking his actions
in the past as a criterion. il would not
appear before the last few days of the
campaign. II was recalled that In 1885
Mr. Cleveland did not come 10 the front

MR.. M0RGANFIELD
Cincinnati Authorities at LoSSetheadS
Over the RObber.
COST OF GUARDING HIM
willing To Pay This-Question Of Suf-
ficiency OF Warrant.

CINCINNATI, o.. October s6.-(SpecialD
The city and county authorities are at
loggerheads over Morganfed. the train
robber. Several Virginia officials called
on Chief Deitsch this morning with a
warrant issued by Governor Mckinley.
on requlsi;ion from the Governor OF
Virginia. for Morganfeld. A glance at
the document showed the Chief that II
was intended for Sheriff Archibald. but
he Informed the officers that he would
take charge OF Mr.. Morganfeld, with the
Sherifrs consent. and hold him until the
matter could be disposed Of.
They decided, however, to visit Sheriff
Archibald. and went TO the courthouse.
When they got there the warrant was
served on the Sheriff. and spirited
conference followed. Those present were
Sheriff \. Matthews. OF Virginia.; De-
tective Witte Alexander. an Adams Ex-
press Company's agent in Virginia; Local
Express-Agent FOgg: Captain Hines. Of
the Pinkerton forces: Assistant PrOsecu-
tor Rulison, and County-Detectlve Ryan.
QUESTION Or COSTS.
IL was admitted that from the time the
warrant was served that MOrganfield was
in charge Of the Sheriff. and that ne
was responsible for his slfekeeping. The
question Of guarding him during hit
stay in the hospital. however, was then
considered. The Sheriff said that inas-
much as he was responsible for the man.
he would not be willing to leave him in
charge OF the police, but that he would
put him in charge of some person that
he would appoint. This, however, in
volved expense and the Sheriff expressed
an unwillingness to incur the debt with
out assurance from the Virginia officials
that the amount would be made good.
M0rganfieid cannot be taken under the
law. unless the question OF costs IS set
tied beforehand. The officials from Nir-
ginia, however did not seem willing to
secure the payment of the expense that
would be incurred In guarding Morgan
field until such time as ne could be
given "A hearing before one Of the
Common-Pleas judges. Sheriff Archibald
was determined not to assume the re-
sponsibility for the expense, and notified
the officials that he would take the advice
OF COunty-Soicitor Speigel before taking
any final action in the matter. his object
being to ascertain whether he could re-
quire the Virginia officials 10 give Sc
curlty for costs.
ALLEGED SHREWD SCHEME.
The opinion was expressed that the
Virginia people are not only unwilling to
secure the payment of costs, but are also
working a shrewd scheme TO double the
guard on Morgantield by using the city
as well as the county officials.
y question was also raised as to the
sufiiciency Of the warrant. 1t Is claimed
that it was not signed by Governor Nc
kinley In Ohio. while. on the other hand
1t was contended by the prosecution that
II was signcI at Ashtabula, this State
As it IS, Morganield Will remain at the
hospital, guarded by the police. until the
Virginia authorities agree to give security
for costs.

LONDON'S EMPIRE MUSIC HALL.
II IL Denied "A Drinking License and VIII
Have to Close.

LONDON. October 2j.-There was much
interest to-day in the meeting Of the
London County Council, at which the
appeal of the Empire Music Hall against
the action of the Licensing Committee
was heard. The committee had refused
to grant the Empire a drinking audi
torium" license. and had 50 compiled
the closing OF tie promenade OF that es-
tablishment Some idea OF the extent Of
the crusade carried on against the En-
pire may be gathered from the fact that
during the hearing Of the appeal the
British Womens Temperance Association
held a four-hOurs' concurrent prayer
meeting and that prayers were offered in
many of the chapels Of London and its
suburbs during the past week in support
Of the action OF the committee.
Crowds Of people attended the Council
hall to-day, among IA m being many
members Of the SOcial-Purity League.
After several hours Of discussion the
Council adopted the recommendation Of
the committee abolshinE the promenade
of the Empire. and forbilding the sell
ing Of drinks In tho auditorium. 1t is
announced that the Empire Will now be
compelled 10 close its doors.

MORE THAN TWO ROBBERS.
so Thinks Captain Birdsong and others
The Pouch rs Evidence.

Searcey's assertion TO the Dlspatchs
Frederick burg correspondent that he has
not made a confession. together with his
other statements, caused no little com
ment here yesterday, and set good
many persons to theorizins. Most OF the
theorists. however, came out Of the same
hole that they went in. No one seemed
really to know what 70 think OF the
matter except that there must be a good
deal behind the scenes yet
Captain Birdsong whom Il Dispatch re-
preventative met casually on the street
yesterday. does not hold at all win the
contention that there were only two men
engaged Ia the robbery He was satisfied,
h. said, that there were five or SIX I'm
the gang. He does not believe that any
two men could have fired the number OF
shots that were heard in the time the
firing was going on.
GREAT DEAL. OF SHOOTING.
This view is sustained by well-known
merchant OF Richmond who was on
the train. Were the Dispatch permitted
to mention his name. it would be recog-
nzed as that Of one Of the last men IN
the community to lose his head. lie was
noted as a Confederate soldier for his
Guinness ana coOlHcss uiiH'i III. W "''i
the fus!llade commenced he walked from
the sleeper through the tram 10 the
smoking-car He is clearly Of the opinion
that no two men could have done the
firing and bears out the statement that
Captain Birdsong was thoroughly SELF
possessed.
BY WHAT AUTHORITY?
Another question in the public mind Is
What authority had Pinkerton or the
express people for taking possession or
the recovered pouch and sending 1t out OF
the State. In cases OF robbery. the
booty Is often the evidence upon when
conviction hinges. and It Is contended that
the pouch and its contents should have
been turned over to the Court To be
used as eykience. and hid until the ex-
press company proved property.
