H. W. Marden will Start Newspaper
with the Above Name.

h w. Mardeu Will start newspaper
with the Above Name.
For some days it has been rumored
that a new paper would be started in
Kenosha and the matter crystalized
today, when 81. w. Marden announced
that he would issue a newspaper next
Saturday, known as. the Kicker.
. There is no man in the city who is
better fitted for running such a paper,
for everybody knows what Mr.. Mar
denis qualifications are along the kick
ing line. The new editor and publisher
has been in the business several times
before and is we'll acquainted with the
field be is entering.
The paper will have no special time
for issue, but will be an occasional
paper and whenever an occasion comes
for good stiff kick on anything an
issue may be expected: AS to the
political views of the new paper nothing
has been said, but Mr.. Marden is
known to be an ardent politician and
the early issues will undoubtedly enter
into the political fight with considerable
vim.
There is a rumor afoat that the
+" Kicker" will be the official organ OF

PENDANTS to the accusations agains;

Mr.. Graham made specific denial o.
the allegations advanced by the ue-
PENDANTS. especially concerning former
Judge Gordon's part In the proceeds
ings. In reply TO the defendants as
sertion that they are not guilty the
answer states that this is a question
for jury but AYERS that the evldei-e
adduced at the hearing before the mag
istrate standing without explanation
CLEARLY established the guilt OF tkP
defendants. The statement OF Quay

putation upon the IL Judges Of the
Philadelphia courts. 1t Is declared tht..
most Of the evidence OF the common

ing of THE conspIrators" themselves.
The most striking part OF the answer

PEACE COMMISSION.
American Members Decide Upon
Policy as to the PHILIPPINES.

PARIS, Oct. 25-The American Com
mission was in session during the whole
OF this afternoon. The deliberations of
the Commissioners, however, had no re-
latfon to the question of Cuban debt,
upon which the attitude of the United
States has been strictly determined.
The Commissioners discussed the
Philippine question to-day and decided
upon the policy to follow 1t is believed
the American Commission has full
power to deal with this matter as they
may judge best in the interests of the
United States.
The "Gaulois" to-day, referring to
yesterdays joint session, says: 1T is
certain that both sides will endeavor to
gain time, the Americans not wishing
to take up the Philippine question be-
fore the United States Congressional
elections have taken place, and they
do not want a certain alleged mystery
previously disclosed by the 'Gaulois' to
become known at present.
This refers to the alleged rumor that
there has been some agreement be-
tween the United States and Spain out
side of the protocol regarding Spanish
sovereignty an allegation which the
Associated Press has already declared
on high authority to be untrue.
Continuing, the "Gaulois" affirms
that the Spaniards are delaying a solu-
ton Of the Cuban debt until after the
elections in the United States, expect
ing then to get better terms" adding
that ct fears Spain does not perceive
the advantages possible to her from the
electoral situation in the United
States"

EACH AWARDED A CHILD.
Compromise Decision in the Case OF
a Separated Husband and Wife.

SYRACUSE On. W, Oct. pa race
across the continent between John 5.
Vosburg and his wife, Kate, resulted to-
day in a compromise decision by d. z.
Petit, the referee appointed to adjust
the difficulty between man and wife.
1t appears that last spring Mr.. Vos-
burg became angry at his father-in-
law, j. S. Slauson, the Los Angeles
banker, and left his home, taking two
of his three boys with him. He settled
near his old home in this State, and a
short time ago returned to Los Angeles
to make efforts to induce his wife TO live
with him away from her fathers in
huence. Mrs. Vosburg took advantage
of Vosburg's presence in California by
taking the first train with her father
for the East, with the apparent pur-
pose of securing her two boys. Vos
burg got wind of her departure and fol-
lowed twenty-four hours later, first tel
egraphing his relatives to take care of
the boys. When Mrs. Vosburg arrived
here she procured a writ of habeas
corpus, and the boys We're produced in
court. Testimony was presented on
both sides, with a view to showing
whether he or she was proper custodian
of the children. The referee finds that
neither the father nor mother is morally
bad, ard gives the oldest boy to the
father and the youngest to the mother.

FRENCH YELLOW BOOK.
Deals With Part France Took in
American-Spanish War.

PARIS, Oct. 25.-The French yellow
book, dealing with the part France took
in the American-Span war, is pub
lished. 1t comprises seventeen docu-
rients, and consists of a dry record of
the exchange of dispatches with Ma
drid and Washington, while arrange
ments were being made for the media
ton of France.
NJ. Cambon, the French ambassador
at Washington, it is shown, cabled
August 4th that the United States had
accepted Spain's proposal that peace
negotiations be held at Paris, saying
that President Mckinley considered the
United States Government thereby gave
the Spanish Government a mark Of its
good will and France token of it's con-
fidence.
Another dispatch from NJ. Carnbon,
dated August 18th, announces the sign
ing of the protocol, and adds that
President Mckinley has warmly
thanked him for Frances good offices,
expressing satisfaction at seeing that
the negotiations would continue at
Paris. To this M. Cambon replied that
he was very much pleased at the con-
fdence President Mckinley displayed in
the French Government and it's repre-
sentative.
NJ. Del Case, the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs, cabled on August 18th
that he highly appreciated these
thanks, which, he added, were striking
proof that the White House had never
for one minute misunderstood the high
motives which inspired our conduct"
Secretary Day, in a dispatch dated
August 10th, addressed to NJ. Calnbon,
announces that a suspension of hos
tilities had been ordered, and expressed
satisfaction at the fact that M. Cam
bon had contributed to this happy re
suit.
