With a Fair Prospect of Accept anca-lt Will Cause the Suspen- sion of Seal Hunting on the High Seas.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-1n reliable quarters it is stated that the confer ence between Russia, Japan and the United States, now proceeding here in reference to scaling in Behring sea and the North Pacific, has advanced to an important stage and that a proposition has been reduced to writ ing, which, if accepted, will bring about a complete change in the seal ing question. c

FIGHT OVER A ROOSTER.
Straigh. Democrats Win in the Huer-
 fano County Case.

Trinidad, Colo, Oct. 2S.-A casa that came up on appeal from Huerfano county and which has been on trial in the district court since Saturday morning was concluded tonight. The question involved was where the rooster, the democratic emblem, prop erly belonged in this campaign. When the democratic county convention was held in Walsenburg it was found \hat there were two factions; one was Afavor of nominating a straight dem- ocNatic ticket and the other wanted a combination with the republicans, so that there would be but one ticket in the field. There was a bolt and two conventions were held. County Clerk Matthews decided that the straight out democrats were entitled to the rooster. This did not suit the flu sionists and an appeal was taken to the district court The trial was con- cluded tonight.

Kansas City, Oct. 28.-Dr. Jefferson D. Goddard was placed on trial here today for the murder of Frederick J. Jackson, at the Woodland hotel on the night of April 2 last. Mrs. Jack son had previously been arrested for complicity in the crime, but the sub sequent grand jury failed to indict her and she was released.
 Dr. Goddard managed a ug store owned by Mrs. Jackson, who was ulso propr;etress of an extensive laundry business. Jackson called on his wife on the evening of the murder at her private apartments to persuade her from spending more money on God dard. He met Goddard there and the two quarreled. Jackson drew a re- volver, but his daughter disarmed him and two hours later, while Jackson was unarmed, Goddard shot and killed him. Mrs. Jackson's lawyer is one of the attorneys for the defense and since Goddard's arrest she and her two daughters have sided with him. Com ing as it does on the heels of the sen- sationa1 trial of John Schlegal for the murder of Dr. Berger, which ended yes terday in acquittal, the Goddard case is attracting great attention. In both cases the doctors were charged with breaking up a home.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Involving the Right to Force a Spe cial
 Tax Levy.

Cheyenne. Wyo., Oct. 28.-An inn portant case was argued in the Wy oming supreme court this morning involving a constitutional question which has not yet been passed upon in this state. The case is a man. damus suit brought by C.. B. Perkins of Sheridan against the county com missioners of Sheridan county to com pei them to either issue bonds or make a special tax levy for the purpose of raising money to pay a judgment re- covered against the county by Perkins. The county resists on the ground that the constitutional tax limit is twelve mills and that all the money raised by this levy is unnecessary to pay the current expenses of the county. Per kins claims that the county has the right to make the levy in excess of the twelve mills.
 The Burlington & Missouri Railway company, one of the heaviest taxpay- CTS in the county, intervenes and is made one of the defendants in the suit. Upon the decision depends a large number of similar eases in which judgments and other claims are held against counties in Wyom- ing which cannot be paid from the constitutional tax levy.

THE COMING ELECTIONS.
Few Department Clerks are Going to
 Their Homes to Vote.

Washington, Oct 28.-The great in- terest being taken in the fall elections which are about to occur in Greater New York, Ohio, Maryland and Iowa and the uncertainty regarding the outcome in each case have stirred the representatives of both political par ties in Washington to energetic efforts in behalf of sending home voters re- siding in the District of Columbia. Single fare rates for the round trip have been secured to all voting points, and a close canvass has been made of the rolls of the various depart ments and the names of those entl- tied to vote at the approaching cleo tions have been ascertained. There seems to be, however, general indispo- sition on the, part of such voters to avail themselves of the priv ilege this year. The books at the republican, and dem ocratic Headquarters alike show very few names of department clerks applying for the cheap transportation arranged for. Mr. Sidney A. Perkins of the republican national committee,
 who is running the Washington end of Mark Hanna's Ohio campaign, IS a very busy man these days. MT. Per-
 kins is making some quiet inquiries
 as to who is and who is not going
 home to vote. Word has been passed around that in some of the bureaus a number of employees are dissatisfied
 with the action of the administration and propose to attest their displeas- ure by staying away from the polls and it is very broadly hinted that MT Perkins is making q list of all sucl employees for future reference.

 The paymaster general says that the increase in the number of naval yes sels and renewed activity in all branches of the service have resulted in a necessity for an increased number of pay officers. The number now au- thorized by law is ninety-six. It was 126 in 1883. The paymaster general earnestly recommends an increase of twenty assistant paymasters.

NEW EAST RIVER BRIDGE.
Complaint That the Contractor is
 Violating State Law.

New York, Oct. 2S.-On the applica- tion of Victor J. Bowling, represent ing William J. O'Brien of the Gram iue Cutters union and the board of walking delegates, Justice Pryor of the supreme court today granted an alternative writ of mandamus requr r. ing Mayor Strong and the commits siOners of the new East river bridge to show cause why the contract with P. H. Flynn for the erection of the foundation piers for the bridge should not be annulled. It is alleged that Flynn is violating the labor laws of the state, which his contract expressly requires him to observe.
 A state law provides that all em- ployes engaged upon public cont acts for the state or any municipality, shall labor only eight hours a day, and be paid the prevailing rate of wages in the locality where the work is performed. MT. Bowling declared that Contractor Flynn requires the men employed in llis stone quarry, up
  the state, to work ten hours a day, and that he only pays $2.5O a day, whereas the prevailing rate, in that locality is $2.75.
 MT. H. M. Graham, who appeared for the bridge commissioners, said that the cancellation of the contract would occasion much inconvenience and delay. It was intimated that the commissioners had no jurisdiction outside of New York and Brooklyn, and that the enforcement of the labor laws in regard to MT. Hymns quarry could be procured through some other agency.
 Justice Pryor said that it was inn portant to find out whether or not the law was being violated, and grant ed the alternative writ,
