another motion for the discharge of
his client on the ground that he, be-
ing a foreign consul, was exempt from
arrest.
Il have nothing to do with that"
said Magistrate Cornell. ''as I am only
a committing magistrate. If this ar
rest was made Illegally you have your
remedy in a higher court on habeas
corpus proceedings. 1 accordingly
deny your motion"
Lawyer Richards, after searching
the code, made a third motion for the
discharge of his client on the ground
that the affidavit on which he was ar
raigned was made through informa-
tion and belief"
Magistrate Cornell denied this mo-
tion also.
Then Lawyer Richards asked that
bail be made as light as possible. Mag
istrate Cornell said that the charge
was so serious that a heavy bail would
have to be fixed, and he accordingly
held Iasigi in $4,000 bail for examina-
ton Monday afternoon.
Everybody connected with the case
refused to talk, saying they preferred
to wait until tomorrow. when Mr..
DerieuX would be present.

McKinlev,s Goodbye.

Canton. O.. Feb. 1.-THE people of
Ccnton are beginning preparations for
f--eweI reception TO the president-elect
to be held on Washington's birthday.
While his neighbors will look after the
details. the whole of the surrounding
country will be included in the invita-
tons, and it IS expected several thou
sand persons will attend.
what is bothering the mayor and the
committee OF arrangements most is to
ficd q place large enough to hold The
crowd. The reception may be held in
the opera house. but that belongs to the
Mckinley estate, and it would not be in
GOOD taste to hold it there. The Stark
county courthouse is the only available
building for the function. and il is prob
able it will be given there.

Rhine Wine Is Poor This Year.

Washington, Feb 14-"Quantity
large, quality poor" is the description
of the Rhine wine vintage of 1896. sent
to the state department by Consul
Bartholow, at Mayence. In many dis
tricts. though. the growers had great
difficulty in getting casks enough to
hold the product, but the desirable
characteristic of the wine is decidedly
inferior to that of other years. The
1896 wine. it is predicted, will be very
light and very cheap and a great deal
of sugar will have to be used to make
it palatable. A general estimate of the
Rhine wine crop in recent years, in
millions of gallons. is as follows: 1896,
