Cole, the high baHfl Of SJn.e

Of the case of the satatc of Ar
kansas against Claude Ford,
charged with an assault with
the intent to kill and murder.
This charge was examined be-
fore l.. P. Collins, Esq. upon a
change Of venue from Squire
Snow Of Sullivan township.
The case was eloquently pros
ecuted by Hon. Thomas /. Herrn
and Col. Rufus Jordan and ably
defended by Judge j. W. Smith
and Hon. W. A. Turner, The
court room was packed with
eager spectators, most of whom
we're from Sullivan township.
In the first affidavit Ford was
charged with an assault with in
tent to kill and murder Frank
Coffman, but upon examination
of our statutes upon the subject
Of cruelty to animals Mr.. Herrn
readily saw he could not convict
with Coffman as the principal
actor and entered nolle prosequi
as to this cause and lad ar affi-
davit sworn out by Elvert Marlin,
when the examination proceeded
with Marlin as the prosecutor.
The examination was very inter-
esting from start to finish, Guilt
and innocence were alternately
felt by the audience through the
entire progress Of the cause.
The evidence showed c0nclusiyely
that envy, hatred, malice and a
general bad feeling existed be-
tween the families of Marlin and
Ford, but failed to shov that this
defendant had aided or assisted
in making or perpetuating this
state of feeling. Coffman's hat
was introduced which showed a
rent in front which he testified
had Been made by a leaden bullet
shot from pistol in the hands Of
the defendant, the counsel for
defendant admitting that if shot
at all the projectile was two cookie
burs.
There was a large number Of
witnesses used for rebuttal pur-
poses by the state and an equal
number used by the defendant in
a vain attempt to impeach Coff-
man, and at times it seemed as if
they were going to do it, and
just at this trying ordeal Coffman
was recalled who opened his
heaving bosom to the court and
established his reputation for
truth and immortality, he said:
"That a while gone he lived in
Batesvllle, Ark, and while there
he got on a big drunk and repre-
sented to a merchant there, Rush
Steele, that he had a raft in the
river worth two hundred dollars
(which he did not have) that up
on such reputation he procured
some money to prolong his drunk;
that the merchant had him ar
rested for false pretenses that he
submitted and was given forty
days in jail which he served out
like a man, this ended tho scene.
The defendant was discharged.
While this case costs the county
considerable it would have been
much larger if it had originated
in the grand jury. We observed

den close of hostiIities, that the demands
upon the treasury would not reach the
magnitude for which provision had pru-
IDENTIFY been made, the secretary deter
mined to deposit a large share of the
proceeds of the popular loan in national
banks in all parts of the country. BY
this process the funds while at all times
available for the use of the government,
remained in the channels of trade. The
balance standing to the credit of the
treasurer on this account on the 31st of
October was $65, 10000. The result OF
these methods of dealing with the situa-
ton has been in all respects satistac-
tory and the immense financial opera
tionS of the war have been conducted
so that the money markets have been in
no degree disturbed at any time. The
only change of Importance in the pub
lie debt was the payment of $29, 85O,952
of the Pacific railroad bonds. The re-
mainder of this loan outstanding on
June 80 was $14, 1873, $50 all of which will
be payable after January 1, 1899.
The gradual increase of the circula-
ton of the subsidiary silver coins, which
has drawn down the treasury holdings
of them in the last Is years from $29,-
O00 600 to a little over $4,000 600 the
treasurer says will soon make 1t neceS-
sary to provide a further supply of this
class of currency. A noticeable i'm

cities of New York. Boston and Phila-
delphia No less than $685. pieces of
this character were detected at the
treasury offices during the fiscal year,
as against 10000 1.-THE year before.

AS a result of the retirement of a
large block of Pacific railway bonds
there were unusually heavy deposits of
lawful money, during the earlier part
of the year, for the reduction of the
bank note circulation, but since the ap-
pearance of the new per cent bonds
on the market the volume of these notes
has increased at a rate without prece-
dent in recent years.

NO OTHER WAY.
Senator Proctor Says All the Philip
pines or None.

Montpelier, VT, Nov. limited
States Senator Redf1eld Proctor, who
arrived yesterday after a trip abroad
addressed the joint assembly of the
house and senate which last month re-
elected him.
Senator Proctor's address was brief
and was confined to an outline Of the
foreign situation which confronts the
government OF the United States. The
senator said:
''The future policy of this country is
the greatest question before our people.
Hawaii and Porto Rico have been
added to the nations dominion and we
have become sponsors for the good gov
eminent of Cuba. We must assume
some responsibility in the far east
whether it be greater or aess. In my
opinion the responsibilities in the far
east are bound to be greater. Many
wise and patriotic men in the country
believe we should retain no territory
nor control any part of the Philippines
beyond a coalinS station, or possibly
single island. 1 recognize the cogency
of their argument, but have failed to
see clearly any practical way of carry
ing out their views. If any jurisdiction
is assumed in the east there is no log
ical stopping place short of the whole
Philippines. To establish a divided
sovereignty would invite trouble. Since
that May morning when the Spanish

year, will try his luck for the third
time, and with him will be Pat O'Hal-
Ioran, another product of the Emerald
Isle, who has been doing some marvel
lour riding the past season.
From Switzerland will come Frederick,
who ran second to Miller in the recent
seventy-two hour race in Paris, and
Joyeux. the French star, who finished
third in the same event, will also cross,
along with Stephane, the famous vet
eran, who was here last year and at one
time looked like a winner of the race.
An unfortunate slipping of a wrench
which was being used to tighten a
handle bar badly damaged his knee,
and ultimately he had to retire from
the contest. This quintet of riders will
sail for this side November II. and will
supply a strong contingent of foreign
talent for our native riders to defeat.
O'Halloran is rated in the line of a
wonder, and on the road his success has
been seldom marred with defeat. Fred
erick, according to Miller, was the
toughest kind of g, proposition, and the
manner in which he continued in the
saddle without dismounting even
phased the American, who is a hard
nut to crack himself.

NEW YORK SOLDIERS
Cast Their Ballots-Van Wyck Given
the Majority Over Roosevelt.


New York, Nov. 4.-Voting among
the volunteer regiments, which is pro-
vided for by law for just such occasions
as this, has begun.
At Camp Meade the New York volun-
teers have returned a plurality of about
300 for Augustus Van Wyck.
The Fourteenth regiment of Brooklyn
voted, the result being: Van Wyck,
1908; Roosevelt, 157. There is some
doubt about this vote being counted,
tered out before the ballot was taken.
Some of the men, being at home, regis
tered and now they are puzzled to know
whether their votes cast lin the field
regularly at the polls on November 8.
The leaders of both parties have been
appealed to and it is expected that the
matter will be settled before election
day.
The Importance of the vote in the
Fourteenth regiment can hardly be eX-
aggerated. Most of the members OF
this regiment normally are Republicans
They reside in the Nineteenth ward, the
banner Republican ward of Brooklyn,
and scores of those whose votes nave
been cast for Van Wyck formerly were
active members of the Republican or
ganizatiOn.
There is deep resentment in the regi-
ment not only against Colonel Roose-
velt because of his disparaging report
to Secretary Alger on the value Of the
volunteer soldier in active service, but
against the national administration as
we'll.
Several hundred members of the Four
tenth regiment came home mere shad-
ows, and the regimental officers have
charged openly that the war depart
ment starved the volunteers and left
them to shift for themselves. The vote
of the regiment, therefore, is not sur
prising, but it indicates more fOrcibly
than any mere words the drift Of Senti-

the mems being punished by court mar
tial, he would let them off easy; but on
a previous occasion when they made a
disturbance the commanding officer
could not be found, but was sick in bed,
although the same night he gave big
dinner party and the men were white
washed. General King wrote to Wilcox
asking him if he used that language
and the judge replied the report was
correct. King then asked for an apol-
ogy, which the court declined to give
and there the matter rests for the pres
ent.
It is said that a new bank will COM
mence business in Honolulu the first of
the year with capital of 100000 with
power to increase it to 100000. Part
of the capital is local. 1t will not be
national bank, but organized under the
laws of Hawaii.
The election at Camp Otis was to take
place one week after the Aorangi left.
The transport Senator arrived the day
before the Aorangi sailed. She will coal
at Honolulu and proceed to Manila. The
voyage was uneventful but the men
complain of poor food and crowded
quarters On the night of the 22nds 300
men were attacked with a violent nau-
sea, the result of eating tainted food.
All recovered.
