ENo's TRIAL.
The Supreme Court Holds That the
State Courts Have Jurisdiction.

state courts have Jur1sd1ctl on.
Washington, Oct 29.-The United States
supreme court to-day reversed the decision
of the circuit court in the case of John c.
Emo, formerly president of the Second Ma
tional bank of New York. who was con-
victed Of forgery in the New York state
courts about ten years ago. Emo raised
the point that the state courts were with
out jurisdiction and that he could be tried
only in the federal courts. This view of
the law was upheld by the circuit court,
but is upset by to-day's decision of the
supreme court which remanded the case
to the state courts.
The engineer board, which conducted the
steam trial of the Names, has just COM
pleted its report and submitted it to the
navy department. The results of the cal
cuatiOns is to place the horse power of the
ship at g. ,224, an excess of 224 over the con-
tract requirement, which will earn the
builders premium of 400. The report
deals with every detail of the machinery
and in substances declares that it is Of
excellent workmanship and complete in
every respect.
The ground on which Emo resisted state
court jurisdiction was that the offense
under the banking laws of the United
States was within the exclusive jurisdic-
tion of the federal courts. The case has
been watched with interest by bank Off
GERS and others. Justice Harlan rem
dered the decision, while Justices Field
and Shiras dissented.
New York, Oct. 29-John c. Emo re-
turned to New York city on Feb. 20, 1888
after an absence of one year in Canada,
and went to the office of Edward Mitch
ell, United States attorney, and surren-
dered himself on the indictment against
him by the United States grand jury
found on June II, 1884. He was taken be-
fore Judge Wallace in the United States
circuit court and admitted to bail in
$4,000. On the following day he appeared
in general sessions and pleaded not guilty
to six indictments against him found by
the grand jury of the county. He gave
bail in $4,000 on one indictment, but his
counsel, Col. Bliss, argued that the other
five did not come within the jurisdiction
of the state courts. Judge Cowing took
the opposite view and a writ of habeas cor
pus was granted by Judge Wallace. On
March q that judge ordered the release
of Emo on the five indictments, declaring
that the case came properly under the
federal jurisdiction as related to the ma
tional banking act.
on May 16 the indictment against Emo
by the United States grand jury was dis
missed by Judge Benedict in the United
States circuit court, criminal branch, on
the ground that it was defective in that
it was not sufficiently specific. Later in
the year Emo was re-arrested and held in
$4,000 bail on the same charge. The de-
cision of the supreme court therefore re-
wives the, five indictments found against
Emo by the general sessions grand jury,
and he IS now out on bail on the sixth as
well as on a charge by the United States
district attorney.

SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS.
The Deceased Secretary of a Loan AS
sociation Took S23, 900.

Springfield, Ill, Oct. 29.-The auditor to-
day concluded the examination of the af-
fairs of the National Park Loan Associa-
ton of which the late F. w. Porter was
secretary, Porter also having been the
auditor of the Rock Island railroad. The
examination developed the fact that Por-
ter was a defaulter to some $4,000. This
defalcation was admitted by Porter in a
letter to the inspector employed by the
auditor to make the examination, written
the day before his sudden death at the
Grand Hotel, in Cincinnati.
The facts in the case have been sup
pressed until now, owing to the belief
of the present managers of the association
that the friends and relatives of Porter
would make good to the association the
amount of his defalcation rather than
have the facts become public. Negotia-
tions in this direction having failed, how
ever it is deemed by the auditor only
proper that the public should be in pos
session of the facts. The defalcation will
not affect the solvency of the association.
Chicago, Oct. 29.-John NJ. johnson, gen
eral freight agent of the Rock Island
railroad, who is also president of the
Normal Park Loan Association, said to-
day in regard to the defalcation: THE
fact that Mr.. Porter was a defaulter to the
extent of So, 900 was not known to me un-
til after his death The association will
probably not realize more than $12,5OO
from the estate of our late secretary,
but the association will remain solvent.
His defalcation began four or five years
ago. AS auditor of the Rock Island he
was honest"
Advices from Springfield indicate that
the defaulter did not die of apopleXy at
the Grand hotel in Cincinnati, as the ply
sicians who lived at the hotel said, but
that he committed suicide on account of
the disgrace which would follow his con-
fession to an Inspector of the state audi
tors Office just before his death. He was
in the act of grasping his valise to descend
in the hotel elevator, intending to leave
the city that morning, when he fell to
the floor completely paralyzed and died

MURDERED BY HER LOVER.
The Woman Hypnotized Into Putting
Rope Around Her Neck.

sparta. Wis, Oct, 29.-Samuel S. Bux-
ton. who on Saturday was arrested on
the charge of having murdered Mary \.
Jones. a maiden lady, at her home, a few
miles from this city, on oct. q, where she
was found hanging by the neck, has con
fessed the murder His preliminary hear
ing was held this morning soon after mid
night. when he waived examination. lie
was at once removed TO Sparta, fears be-
ing entertained that a mob might attempt
to take him from jail.
The crime is one Of a revolving nature.
Three years ago Buxton, by a series or
obscene letters, purporting to come from
a witch and directed to Miss Jones, hyp-
notified her and caused her ruin. The i'll
ttmacy was continued to the day of her
death. BY the same system of deceit the
infatuated woman consented to be strung
IN by the neck in the belief that 1t would
cause the death of BuXton's wife. The
second time the experiment was tried
Buxton pushed the chair on which
the foolish woman was standing
from under her and she swung
into eternity. Buxton took what
money was in the house and left for his
home, a short distance away, where he
was arrested and brought here and lodged
in Jail. His motive for committing the
murder is that he was tired Of the woman.
Buxton has a wife and three children.
The murdered woman was a near neigh
bcr OF the Buxtons and lived alone. As
soon as court was called to-day Buxton
was brought in and pleaded guilty and
was Immediately sentenced to Waupon for

COOKS GANG IN A CORNER.
Five of the Outlaws Captured and the
others Surrounded.

Muskogee, l. r., Oct. 29.-Charles Beck,
with twenty Indian deputy sherlfs, this
morning captured five of the Cook gang
of outlaws. The men under arrest are:
Joseph Johnson, Moses Price, Dock Rey-
nolds, Jim Bates and Lon Perry. The
rest of the gang are in hiding near Wag-
oner and the Indian police, sheriffs and
deputy marshals are securing the swamps
for them. IL is believed the remaining
outlaws viii soon be under arrest.
Fort Smith, Ark, oct. 29.-United States
Marshal Crump received a telegram from
Indian Agent Wisdom at Muskogee to-
day saying he had reliable information
that Bin Cook ana twenty-one Of his gang
are near Tallasha Mission. nine miles
from Muskogee. The conductor who
brought in the passenger train this morn
ing from that county brings the same
information. He says the pursuers have
captured the horses Of the robbers and
have them surrounded. Notwithstanding
these reports. officers here believe Il to be
"a ruse Of tho friends Of the bandits to
turn public attention away from other
parties

LIVED HIGH ON THE PUBLIC.
The Accounts of a French Ofaoial
Cause a Scandal.

Paris, oct. 29-There wasa stormy de-
bate in the chamber of deputies to-day
over the accounts of NJ. Favette, a high
official in the ministry of commerce.
In the accounts were included bills for
dinners at Voissins on $40 occasions. and
for six cabs. each for the use Of Deputy
Guern and Senator Lourties
Premier Dupuy admitted that these bills
were irregular but thought that there was
no circumstance connected with them
that would Justify the prosecution of the
offenders.
NJ. Jaures, however demanded that the
persons contracting these bills be pros
ecuted
M. Guerin challenged the government to
prosecute him. declaring that he had been
guilty of no misconduct.
The chamber approved NJ. Jaures' bill.
Paris, oct. 30. a. m.-The morning
newspapers agree that the Favette Incl
dent in the chamber threatened for a time
the existence of the cabinet. The resigna-
ton of M. Lourites, minister of commerce,
is still regarded as possible. The attack
really was directed by Jules Roche, whose
chief of cabinet Favette once was. and
the difficulty arose through the effort Of
M. Lourtes to defend Favettes position.
M. Guerin repudiated the statement Of
M. Lourties and with the other ministers
seemed willing to have the accounts in
vestlgated by Premier Dupuy.

With Criminal Libel.

Topeka. Kan, Oct. ga warrant has
been issued in Allen county on complaint
Of Nelson F. Acres for the arrest of United
States Senator John Martin, on a charge
of criminal libel In an authorized inter-
view given out by Senator Martin little
more than a week ago. he defended Gov

BACON TRIES TO STRADDLE.
His Speech a Bid for the Votes Of Both
Gold and Silver Men.

He Advocates Free Coinage of Both
Metals. but Does Not Insist on a
Ratio of 10 to as the Only One to Be
Considered-Non of the Senatorial
Candidates Working With the Vigor
With Which They Started Out and
the Race Begins to Drag.
Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 29.-The senatorial
race is beginning to drag. All the candi-
dates are working with less vigor than
they started out with, and to-day there
has been little interest manifested. The
settlement of the judicial contests resulted
in driving off a good many of the most
ardent workers, until the scenes about
the headquarters of the candidates and
the hotel lobbies bear little resemblance
10 the hot rivalry of last week.
Either Maj Bacon and his workers have
got the public beautifully bluffed, or there
is no use for any further work, for they
appear to have things pretty much all
their own way now, although there are
occasional bets offered by the friends of
each of the others.
To-day a little sensation was created by
the publication of a report that the cleo
ton of Judge Spencer Atkinson to the
supreme bench was brought about by a
sell out to the Turner men. Judge Tur-
ner's friends and Judge Atl1inson's friends
promptly denounced the report and sad
died it on the Bacon managers, claim
ing that they had started it for the pur-
pose of injuring Judge Turner. The re-
port was pTeposterous on its face, for
Judge Turner and Judge Atkinson are the
very last men who would ever become par
ties to any sort of political dishonor
Judge Atkinson g friends were particularly
incensed at the story.
Mai BaCon's speech tonight was a bid
for the support Of the sound money men.
Heretofore he has been the most pro-
nounced free coinage man. Sixteen to one
has been his battle slogan, but tonight he
told the legislators, whose votes he wants
that he was in favor of any ratio, that
there was no insurmountable reason why
the ratio should be changed, and declared
that international agreement was, after
all, the most desirable solution of the
problem. He came as near to getting
into Judge Turner's platform as he pos
sibly could do without making his bid
too palpable There is no room to doubt
that there is a very strong element in
this legislature that cannot be led astray
from sound financial doctrine, and
Maj Bacon paid them high compliment
tonight in climbing upon the end of the
Turner band wagon. What effect this
new position taken by Maj. Bacon will
have is hard to tell just now. 1t may make
those who rallied to his support because
he has been heralded as the leader of the
free-cotnage, Observation-Disclosures angry
In fact this is quite likely to be one re-
suit, and at the same time his attempt
TO get on both sides can hardly add to his
reputation for craftsmanship. 1t is safe
to say that he did not draw off any of
Judge Turner's friends, but when Judge
Turner speaks Wednesday night for sound
money, the admissions Maj. Bacon made
tonight may lead to dangerous conse-
quences for him

japanese attache here yesterday. The at
tache said he learned privately from
friends acquainted with Manchuria that.

BACON MAKES HIS SPEECH.
He Advocates Free Coinage of Both
Gold and Silver.

Atlanta. Ca, Oct. 29.-Maj. Bacon made
his speech before the legislature tonight.
Tomorrow night Col. Garrard will
spead and on Wednesday night
Congressman Turner will deliver the last
OF the series of addresses by the sena-
IOrlal candidates.
Senator Long introduced Maj. Bacon,
VINO read the principal part of his ad-
dress in order to avoid, he said, any dis
pute as to his position on the financial
question, which was the great question
OF the day. Silver is now denied it's full
rights OF coinage as money, he said al
though the silver already coined is rec
ognized as money. He declared that the
democratic party is not responsible for
the degradation of silver, nor for the
are consequences to the country that
nave followed The platform, he con-
tended, pledged the party to the free
coinage of both metals on terms of per-
Ieet equality 1t also pledged emphati-
caIly that Either by international agree
ment or the safe grounds of legislation,
gold and silver thus freely minted shall
III business transactions be of equal
value"
Maj Bacon said the entire democratic
party was founded on the principles that
there shall be free coinage of both gold
and silver and that the gold and silver
IN power in the purchase of property and
the payment of debts" Some democrats,
ne said, thought this could be done at the
ratio Of 16 to !, while others contend that
This is impossible.
For himself he said he would not favor
any dollar that was not sound. If coinage
could be continued at 16 to / and the pari-
" be maintained between gold and silver
ne thought there were many reasons why
mat should be the ratio. If it cannot, he
would favor a change of ratio. At any
rate he said the democratic party was
pledged to make the experiment of resto-
ring the free coinage of silver and he was
IN favor of carrying out this pledge, be-
neving this country could do it success
iully. Maj Bacon hooted al the idea of
single standard, and declared no party
mad the hardihood to 80 before the people
on such policy. International agreement
ne said, was unquestionably highly de-
sirable
