ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CASE.
Unless Compromised Il Will Com
mence Tomorrow Morning.

Until this afternoon it was a question
whether the Pollard Breckenridge case
could be reached in Circuit Court. No. l,
tomorrow morning. a case having Ieen
taken up yesterday which it appeared would
not be finished in time The case how
ever. came to a sudden close this afternoon
and the Breckenridge case will be taken up
tomorrow morning before Judge Bradley
That is. if the rumors about the City Hall
this afternoon OF a compromise OF the case
should prove untrue
1t was stated about the court house this
afternoon that one of Represen
Breckinridge's counsel had stated at an
uptown resort last night that the case
would never be tried. that Mr.. Breckin-
ridge would agree to a settlement Of the
case out OF court. Counsel for Miss Pol
lard, however, only smiled at the story,
and remarked that so far as they knew
the case would proceed to trial tomorrow
morning. unless counsel on the other side
succeeded in obtaining a continuance. 1t
was also said today that Col. Enoch Tot
ten, senior counsel for the Kentucky Con-
gresham. had returned from Florida and
would be prepared to go on tomorrow with
the case. But IL was stated at his Office
this afternoon that he would not return uii-
til the 18th instant. Hence, ii is believed
that the trial of the now famous suit will
go on tomorrow. unless the court should
postpone the case until Col. Totten's re-
turn which, however is not believed prob
able.
1t was decided this afternoon that in
view OF the great demand by the press
members OF the bar and the public for ac-
commodation at the trial that the case
should be heard in the court room occupied
by Judge McComas' court. Criminal Court

District Attorney Birncy's Views of
the Metropolitan Compromise.

Speaking Of the action of the House Dis
trict committee on the Metropolitan rail-
road case. District Attorney Birney said to
a Star reporter this afternoon: Il think il
would have been much better both for the
railroad company and the District. had the
matter been definitely disposed of. That
is, by the payment by the company of
some agreed upon sum.
such disposition of the matter would
have relieved the company OF the uncertain
ties which must exist under the present ar
rangement. and at the same time would
nave insured the public of an immediat e
change in the motive power of the road and
the general repair of its rolling stock such
changes should have been peremptorily com
PEELED AS IL Is now, the company may or
may not do So and those matters seem as
far from final settlement as ever"

JACKSON CITY CLOSED.
The sheriff Closes Up the Resorts

Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Neetch OF
Alexandria county paid visit to the pool
rooms at the south end of the Long bridge
and notified those engaged in pool selling
that they must close at once, and the
places were at once vacated. This proceed
ing has been anticipated for some days,
and indeed, a number have been apprehen-
sive that the sheriff intended to pounce
down and arrest such as were found in
the rooms. The act before the legislature
amending the old act, it is said. will not
ell tirely prohibit the selling of pools, and
some say that If the copies are correct
there are such loopholes in ii that all that
is necessary is a change of location. Some
of the pool sellers. IL is said. have already

Uncontirmed mt shanghai.

The rumor current to the effect that
the japanese fleet had captured three
men of.war had not been confirmed at
Shanghai on the 9Th inst. The report
was possibly a rehash of the reports of
the prior engagements of the fleets. As
vet there has been no disorder at Shang
hal growing out of the war, beyond Il
few trihing encounters between japanese
and Chinese rowdies. The municipal
council has appointed rendezvous
for the volunteers in the event of an
emergency arising that will require their
services, but no anxiety is felt us to the
safety of Europeans. The japanese
Association, which includes among its
members the leading japanese of Shang'
hal and vicinity, has issued warning to
the japanese residents that they must
behave themselves and avoid any act that
would tend to precipitate conflict with
the Chinese. They are particularly
warned to keep away from the Chinese
quarter, and to remain so far as possible
within the confines of their own settle
ment.
The greatest secrecy is preserved by
the japanese authorities as to the move
ments of the fleet and the army, but it
is too well known to conceal that they
have modified large force with rapid
ity and perfection of arrangements that
astonishes even critical military and
naval observers. The discipline of the
troops already landed in Corea likewise
commands the admiration of the onlook.
ers. II is further reported that the
Japanese claim an indemnity of $780,
600 and cession of various islands and
general opening of the Hermit nation to
trade, insisting upon Corea being pre-
served as an independent nation.
China Is entirely unprepared for war.
