LONDON, Nov 2.-Martin D. Rucker, a
former promoter of bicycle companies, who
was charged with contempt of court in en-
deavorng to induce Ernest Terah Hooley,

The examination of Mr.. Hooley in bank
ruptcy proceedings was resumed to-day and

tinued to testify as to the amounts, large
and small, paid to trustees and directors

The witness did not know whether the
money reached the party funds. Subse-
quently Mr.. Hooley explained that he paid
the Marquis OF Abergaveny $1,000 first. and

QUEER POLITICAL MIX.
Republican Forced to Run on Demo-
cratic Ticket Against His Will.

LACROSSE, Wis, Nov. A very un-
usual action was brought in the Circuit
Court to-day, and, as a result, Major j.
Kircheis of the Third Wisconsin Volun-
teers, a Republican, is compelled to accept
the nomination for sheriff of Lacrosse coun-
ty on the Democratic ticket against his
will. While the major was in Porto Rico
the Democratic convention nominated him
for sheriff without his consent or knowl-
edge. His regiment has just returned from
Porto Rico on sixty days furlough. and he
did not reach home until Monday two days
too late to file his declination of the nomi-
nation. He refused to run and the county
clerk refused to put his name on the official
ticket. Democratic County Chairman Ma
honey then brought an action in the Cir
cult Court to compel the county clerk to
place Kircheiss name on the ticket and
won his case. Judge Wyman, in his rulings,
held that the law required that a declina-
ton be filed nine days before the election
and that it was not for the court to put any
different construction on the statute, and,
therefore, Major Kircheis's name must 40

celIent record in Porto Rico as an officer

SHORTAGE OF $4,000.
Books of a Dead Bank Cashier Found
to Have Been DOctOred.

HANOVER, Pa. Nov. "A long-hidden
deficiency, reaching about 7,OOO has been
discovered in the accounts of the late John
II. Alleman, cashier of the First National
Bank of this place, who died about three
weeks ago. The books have been in the
hands of an expert accountant since Alle-
mans death, and the shortage was thus re-
vealed. Mr. Alleman had been cashier of
the bank for twenty-eight years, and at no
time was he ever suspected of wrong doing.
His defalcations were cleverly covered up
by means of "kting," or the use of drafts
on different out-of-town banks, AMI thus de-
ceived even the bank examiners. Mr.. Allie
man was under bonds of $4,000, and the
bank will therefore suffer little. 1t still has
a surplus of $4,000 over all liabilities.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Nov. 2.-Thomas I.
Kidd, George Zenter and Michael Troiber,
accused of conspiring to injure the business
of the Paine Lumber Company, of this city,
were acquitted in the municipal court to-
day. The case followed the woodworkers'
strike of the last summer. Mr.. Kidd was
secretary of the International Woodwork

the strike while Zenter was captain of the
pckets and Troiber was a picket. The case
of the defendants rested largely on the le-

amounted to conspiracy, but which, the
defense contended, was, in itself. innocent

grave Importance, coupled with the Anglo
French war preparations. 1t is surmised
that Russia, profiting by the present
strained relations between Great Britain
and France has decided to push forward
her aims in the far East by forcibly seizing
the valuable treaty port of Nieu-Chwang,
which Great Britain cannot permit, it is
said.
A dispatch from London to the Associated
Press on Oct. 20 said cable message had
been received there from Shanghai as fol-
lows: "A Russian general occupied the

Roosevelt was nominated for Governor the

question his eligibility. They quickly
dropped that issue. They then announced
they would make an attack upon the judi
ciary one of their issues. That did not
turn out right. They then muzzled all OF
their candidates on the money issue. Not
single Democratic candidate has been al
lowed to say single word on this vital
issue of the campaign. That issue has
proved disastrous to the Democrats. So
utterly demoralized are our Democratic ad-
versaries that the latest issue announced by
them is a personal SANDER against me. They
have caused it to be circulated that L am
lukewarm to the candidates of the Repub
lican state ticket, headed by Col Theodore
Roosevelt. 1 would not pay the slightest
attention to such a slander if it were not
for the fact that our adversaries have
peddled this story all over the State. 1t is
a baseless, slanderous falsehood.

again that the Democratic slander that am

Referring to the increasing cordiality be-

Mr. Bryce said: when last in the United

of feeling in Great Britain when the Euro

the United States during the recent war
with Spain, made the Americans under

them and ourselves. They have shown that
they appreciate and reciprocate our senti-

lance. At all events the obstacles at pres

for solid and durable friendship between
American and Great Britain. They have no
adverse interests anywhere in the world,

friendship is the better it will be for the

views of Diplomats Mt Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Tne critical con-
dition of affairs between France and Great
Britain is exciting lively interest among
members of the diplomatic corps here, and
on some of the phases of the controversy
their information appears to be more exact
than that coming from Paris and London.
The dispatches to-day attached much sig
nificance to the absence of Baron De Cour-
eel, the French ambassador, from London,
and it was stated that France would show
her animosity by not continuing an ambas-
sador at London. The journal officially re-
ceived at the French embassy, however,
says that the appointment of M. Paul Cam
bon to London to succeed Baron De Courcel
was officially gazetted on Sept. 81 NJ. Cam
bon is a brother of M. Jules Cambon. the
French ambassador here, who was consplc-
uous in the peace negotiations between this
government and Spain. He has been am
bassador at Constantinople, and is now on
his way from that point to London.
AT the leading embassies here there is little
idea that the Fashoda affair will lead to
war, although there is a very general opin-
ion that the Egyptian question in general
may lead TO a conflict in which other Euro
peon countries than France and Great Brit
ain may take part. A French diplomat
speaking of the Fashoda affair, sald
There is not the slightest chance that
Fashoda alone will lead to war. Although
of strategical value, it is practically mac
cessibe to France, while, at the same time,
easily accessible to England. English ships
are now we'll down the Nile, and the British
troops are not far from Fashoda. Besides,
the Nile route brings the British within two
weeks travel of Fashoda. On the other
hand, it took Major Marchand two years
and half to reach Fashoda, and at best
it would take France two years to reach
there on the route from the west coast of
Africa and across the Congo country. If
there is to be an issue at ALL it will be on
the larger question of Egypt in general and
the control which Egypt is to exercise in
| the heart Of africa"
