THE CASTLE CASE.
The Hearing Finally Set for Next Friday.
The Zine Of the Deiense.


The Line OF the Defense.
London. November AT the open
ing of the ClerkenwaI Sessions to-day,
Chairman Mcconnell directed the spe-
cial attention of the grand jury TO the
case OF Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Nj. Castle,
of San Francisco, who are charged
with stealing goods from various Lon
don stores, saying that the case pre-
scented some remarkable circumstances.
He added that the facts did not differ
from ordinary charges OF larceny, eX-
cept for the position of the parties.
Continuing the chairman stated that
upon most occasions the Castles visit
ed the stores together, but some times
Mrs. Castle was alone. Still, he fur
Their asserted, there was evidence
which bore the construction that there
was Joint possession of the articles,
and he expressed the opinion that II
was . proper case for investigation by
a common jury, as with the exception
OF one. all the seven charges were shop
lifting. The hearing of the case was
set for Friday at 1880 a. m.
The Castle case is so far one Of the
most remarkable cases in which Am
orleans have figured as prisoners in
foreign land. The Castles are well
connected in San Francisco and were
able to furnish bail in the enormous
amount Of 100000. Secretary ). X.
Roosevelt. of the American embassy,
has interested himself in the unfortun-
ate couple, as have other prominent
members of the American colony. Mr..
Castle had it is said, $325,O0O to his
credit at a London bank at the time
his wife was detected in alleged open
handed shOpliiring. The testimony OF
Regent street sbOpkeepers and others
in the preliminary hearing in the po-
lice cour, as 20 the way they caught
Mrs. Castle were deemed sufficiently
conclusive by Magistrate Newton to
warrant him in holding both husband
and wife i'm extraordinary bail
Naturally the friends and acquaintance
of the lady took the very charitable view
that if the purloincd articles We're found
on her as stated she must have taken
them in kieptomauiac mood. Indeed, Mrs.
Kate Dwycr. prominently identified with
the fur trade of san Francisco. is said to
have sailed for here few days ago to
testify as to the pecuiar.tics of Mrs. Cas-
tie
When the testimony begins there will
be besides Mrs. Dryers personal evidence
some 10 dispositions of San Francisco per-
sons who have testified to the singular
characteristics Of Mrs. Castle.
Among them viii DE statements Of street

SOME PREMATURE REPORTS
Corrected BY Cardinal Satolli-Interesting
Statements


London. November "A special dis
patch from Rome says that at the con-
sjstory to be held at the end OF the
present month the Diocese of Buffalo
will be raised to the dignity of Met
ropolitan See, with jurisdiction over
Rochester. Syracuse and Elmira. The
dispatch adds that Bishop Keane, for
merlv rector of the Catholic University
at Washington, will be appointed a TIT
ular archbishop.
Rome. November 2-Cardinal Satol-
Ii to-day declared there was no foun-
dation in the above statement. Con-
tinuing. Cardinal Satolii further class
ed as premature the statement that the
Jurisdiction of the Apostolic delegate
to the Roman Catholic Church in the
United States was to be extended to
Canada. as at present. he explained,
only a suggestion of this character has
come from the Dominion government
and the Canadian Bishops have not
vet given their adherence to it.
In conclusion, the Cardinal said that
the report that Archbishop Martinelli
would convoke another council at Bal
timore. was also premature, as all IN
tended at present is TO secure a better
application of the decisions Of the Bal
timore council of 1888.

WARNING TO ELECTION OFfiCEhs'
OF course. we need not tell the poll
clerks that it is a penitentiary offense
to endeavor to ascertain or in any way
aid ANYBODY else in ascertaining how
any voter may have cast his ballot.
But we wish to inform Democratic
p7ll clerks and Democratic challen-
GERS and election judges of both par
ties. that there are unlawful schemes
on foot TO coerce and intimidate the
voter. and chat it is proposed to &C
complish the fraud through the conni-
vance OF election clerks.
We do not believe that the fraud
can be accomplished, but that it viii
be attempted and is a part Of the gold
programme, we do know.
The goldbugs are desperate and will
resort to any trick TO win, and it de-
wolves upon all election clerks to be
especially vigiIant and see to it that no
official ballot is allowed to get out Of
their hands except those given direct
~ 20 the voters.
This is an important matter and con-
siderable responsibility rests upon the
election officers in connection there

HOME. RULE IN CANADA.

The commander of the British forces
in Canada says if the latter country de-
sired it's independence that England
would not raise hand against it. He
did not state the reason, but it is plain.
England knows that she could not hold
Canada a week after its determination
to quit the mother country, because Of
the position it maintains alongside Of the
United States. This is the reason, too.
that she allows Canada to govern Itself
There is scarcely a bond Of connection
between the two countries except that of
In loyalty on the part Of some. Canada
is source Of expense to England. and and
when England does not make 9 profit
out OF her possessions. she forgiyes her
subjects for any disloya al sentiment they
ma entertain. The younger element IN
Canada does not think much more of
than do t,e peopi ct the United
sstates lsugh loyalty dir

THE BLUE AND THE GREY.

1t is proposed that on next Fourth of
July the blue and the grey shall parade
together in the streets of New York, and
that the only conditions imposed upon
the Confederates is that they shall not
wear the grey nor carry Confederate
banner. This might look like the play
of Hamlet with the character of Hamlet
left out. but still it would be in keeping
with the wishes of General Lee, when
he surrendered to General Grant--that
the southern soldiers should forget the
past and accept the inevitable. Since ;,ll
are now back in the union the ex-Con-
federates can show their loyalty as we'll
in their every day garb as they could 1t
they wore the blue. But why not wear
the blue ON such an occasion? 1t would be
senseless, if not insulting, to appear in
uniform that carries with it menace.
And, besides. the northern soldiers have
no feelings of hatred against the men
who wore the grey. The latter may still
recollect the bitterness of defeat, but as
a rule the past is buried and sensible men
on both sides are devoutly thankful that
such is the case.
