CASE or THE CASTLES.
Hearing Set for Friday Next at the
CierkenweH Sessions-ReHcence of
Counsel for the Defense.

LONDON, Eng, Nov. 2.-The Clerken-
well sessions opened to-day. The hearing
of tho case of the Castles was set down for
Friday, November 6.
Chairman Mcconnell of the Clerken-
well sessions delivered the charge to the
Grand Jury upon the ordinary course of
cases to be heard. calling special atten-
tion to the case OF Mr.. and Mrs. Castle, in
which he said that the facts did not differ
from those constituting case of ordinary
larceny except in respect to the position
of the parties accused. Their case, he
thought, was proper one for inquiry by
a common jury.
Mr.. and Mrs. Castle did not appear.
Sir Edward Clarke, Sir Frank Lockwood
and Mr.. Abrahams, counsel for defense,
met at the chambers of Sir Edward Clarke
to discuss the course to be taken by the
defense. 1t is understood that the chief
point under discussion was whether Mrs.
Castle should plead guilty with the ex-
tenuating plea of mental weakness, but
counsel declined to disclose the nature of
their decision IN the matter.

FAvORABLh TO REP UBLloANs.
That Is the Trend of Sentiment Ia the
State of Nebraska.


State of Nebraska.
LINCOLN, NEBR., Nov. Eliminating
the effect of William J. Bryan's trip
through Nebraska to-day. which none
deny has been factor in his benefit, the
political trend Of the State for the past
thirty-six hours has been favorable to the
Republicans. For this cond ition of affairs
the Populist supporters of Mr.. Bryan have
men in their own ranks to blame. The
meetings of to-day and Saturday night
were marked at num- ber of towns by
overt acts, such as throwing eggs at Re-
publican speakers and burning Repu blican
banners, and the reaction has set in.
Aside from this there has been nothing to
change the estim ate either way. The vote
will be close in any event. and it is ques-
tionable if the result on even heads of
tickets will be definitely known before
Thursday. If be ting is any indication,
Bryan men have tride the best of it. No
large wagers have been made, or odds
offered by either side. Mr.. Bryan's home
county is claimed by the Republicans by
1000; but his supporters insist that it is
far too large.

NEW YORK. N. Y, Nov. 2.-Tho Stock
Exchange presented quite scene of ex-
citement and enthusiasm when the gong
sou oded for the closing of the board at 3
o'clock. A large crowd OF members were
present and were RECALLED with songs by
the glee club Of the Republican dry-goods
district. The glee club consisted of four
m members-two ladies and two gentlemen
and it is the first time in the history of
the Exchange that ladies have appeared
on the floor of the Exchange.
The club sang NUM- ber of National airs
and were applauded to the echo. After
each song the enthusiasm reached high
pitch and finally the brokers were fairly
beside themselves, waving hats and hand
kerchiefs amid wild shouts for sound
money victory at the polls tomorrow.
No such scene st the Stock Exchange has
been witnessed in any previous Presiden-

No Possible Chance to Beat McKtnIev In


COLUMBUS, OHIO, Nov. 2-Chairman
Calen OF the National Democratic State
Committee and Chairman McConviile of
the Democratic State Committee will give
no estimate OF the election result in the
State. Chairman Kurtz Of the Republican
committee lets his statement of Saturday
night, in which he claimed the State for
Mckinley by from $1,000 to 100, 600, stand.
Leading Republicans here are inclined
to consider this claim to be too high, but
all think the State is sale. Betting seems
to favor this, as odds are 10 TO l in Nc
Kinley's favor on the State. The publ.
cans have a much better organization, in
fact it was perfect, and Chairman Kurtz is
Inclined TO accept the statements of his
local committeeman rather than reports
from casual observers to the effect that
there are big Republican defections to free
silver among the workingmen and farmers.

DENVER, CoLo., Nov. 2.-There has
