BRECKENRIDGE IN A BOX.
The Judge Refuses to Receive Ills
Bill Of Exceptions.

Under the Law the Counsel for Miss
Pollard Should Have Been Given a
Copy of 1t Last Thursday-It Was
Not Furnished Until Friday After
noon and the Judge Acts on the
Technicality in Throwing the Case
Out of Court.
Washington, May 2s.-Shortly after 3
o'clock this afternoon Col. Breckinridge,
by his attorneys, Maj. John Shelby and
Hon. Ben Butterworth, presented to
Judge Bradley, of the district circuit
court, the bill of exceptions, which Col.
Breckinridge himself had prepared, to
the recent decision against him in the
Pollard Breckinridge breach of promise
suit.
Cnlderon Carlisle and Judge Jere Wilson
represented Miss Pollard
Col. Breckenridge has deposited the
bond of 500 required to carry an appeal
of his case to the district court of appeals
and Judge Bradley's approval of the bill
would have been all that was necessary
to enter the matter on the appellate
courts books.

rules of the court, the other side should

length and asked the court to be lenlent,

know what step the counsel should take
next in the matter
JUDGE WILSON ON THE SITUATION.
Judge Jere Wilson, speaking of the ac-
tton of the court, said that it apparently
ended the case. The only way in which
the defendant could reach higher court
was by bill of exceptions, and he saw
no means by which the defense could get
such bill. The counsel for Miss Pollard,
Mr. Wilson said, had not taken advantage
of the law in the case. In the first

new trial was denied, generously stipu-
lated for an extension of the term of the
court for thirty days in order to allow
time for the defense to prepare their bill
of exceptions. There was some question
as to whether an extension was proper,
but the plaintiff waived objection
and consented to it's being done.
They had then waited until Friday
morning before hearing anything of what
was being done Friday morning the de-
feudant's counsel asked that stipula-
tion allowing them more time be agreed
upon, but this was refused, and the bulky
bill Of exceptions was handed to plaintiff S
counsel late Friday afternoon, after the
expiration of the time prescribed by law
within which it should have been fur

o LowNDEs FOR EVANS.
The County Convention Declares In
Favor Of the General.


Valdosta, Ca, May 28.-To-day has
been one of the greatest days Lowndes
county has ever seen. Early this morn
ing the county was conceded TO be the
battling ground. The Atkinson men had
everything their own way so far as unin-
structed delegates were concerned, and
even those who favored Evans were glad
TO Join in sending delegates 10 the conven-
tion uninstructed. The Wool Hat boys
turned the tide, however. At 10 o'clock
they came forty-four strong from Lake
Park and few minutes later Mineola
sent in 20 votes. About the
same time the old soldiers from
Naylor and Ousby rolled into
line: Everything was for Evaps,
and as they marched through the streets
the old rebel yell deafened all doubt. At
the courthouse the Atkinson men made
desperate fight for uninstructed delegates,
but were beaten. All the Atkinson men
from a half dozen counties tried TO control
the tide, but there was no turn. In the
convention Evans men begged that a
primary be held and that the strength of
the candidates be tested, but the Atkin-
son men declared that the county was for
Evans so they wanted delegates chosen by
acclamation. This was done by vote Of
10 TO l. Many claim that it was 20 to ].

The Minority Hope to Defeat the
Schedule of the Maj


Schedule of the Majorit
Washington, May 2S.-Senators Hale,
Aldrich, Lodge and few other republi-
cans met in the committee room this at-
ternoon for the purpose of discussing the
situation and considering the advisability
of calling a caucus within the next few
days for party discussion of the line
of campaign to be pursued in
the debate and the final action on
the sugar schedule The republicans
believe they have it in their power to con-
troll the Senate on this matter. After
the proposition to maintain the present
bounty is voted down, as it undoubtedly
will be, the minority will according to
their present programme, move to put
sugar on the free list. In this they ex-
pect to have the assistance of a few dem
ocrats and at least one of the populists.
TO PICK THEIR TIME.
If this motion is made by a republican
it will be done at time when the repub-
licans believe they have the votes to de-
feat the committees proposition, and the
motion will not be made until this vote is
assured. The motion may come in very
short time, or it may be delayed for
some days. When it does come,
if made by a republican, battle royal
will be inaugurated. The republicans
believe that if they can succeed in doing
this they can defeat the bill, and every
move made by them during the debate on
this particular schedule will be fraught
