THE JUDGE MEANT BUSINESS.
How lie Expedited the Trial of a
Lagging Case.

The Kansas City Journal tells two or
three good stories Of a well-known ana
highly respected Judge, regarded as one
of the ablest in Missouri. He believes IN
convicting the guilty, and does not waste
much time in VcXatious delays. Some
time ago he was called to St. Louis TO
try a case. After hearing evidence an
day he adjourned the court until O'Clock
the next morning
Eight o'clock, your honor said one
Of the ST. Louis attorneys. Why, in the
city our judges never begin To hold court
until 10 o'clock
We'll" said the Judge, "if you must
have country judges, YOU must bear with
country ways. Court will meet at \
o'clock while | am on the bench and
court did.
on another occasion he granted a
change Of venue from St. Louis TO Coop
er county. The defendants counsel an
eN-governor had looked up the regu-
lar terms of court in the Cooper county
circuit, and found that there was no
regular term for some months As he
was anxious for delay, the lawyer wac
much surprised when, after granting the
change of venue, the judge said: 81 will
set this case for week from next Mon
day"
'Rut. your honor there is no term Of
court I'm Boonvlle for several months"
"You are mistaken, governor said the
nudge. 81 live in Boouville, and hold
court at any time. Moreover, the consti-
tuition guarantees "a speedy trial and
am sworn to support the constitution"
"I can't he In Boonville during that
month. That will he my regular vaca-
tan."
You hear what your lawyer says"
remarked the Judge TO the prisoner.
Your trial will begin at the time stated
and II the governor cannot he present
YOU would better arrange to have some
one else to represent you"
The trial came off as stated, and the
lawyer was on hand.

New York. April 20.--The New York
stock market offered "A firm resistance
all day to the depression which was re-
ilected upon it from every other ex-
change in the world, it's declines at no
time reaching more than a fraction
over a point for the active stocks. In
the final hour, after trading on the
foreign bOurses had been suspended for
the day. there was lively movement
to buy developed on the New York ex-
change which wiped out practically all
earlier losses and lifted the level of
prices sharply above that Of last night.
The final recovery was brought by the
dissemination of rumor that the per-
iOd allowed Spain for reply to theulti-
matum has been extended to Monday,
with a chance that a settlement would
be effected before that time. There
We're some evidences of manipulation
for the purpose Of making last prices
show striking gains. For instance Bur-
lington sold at 90A and on next and
last sale jumped to 9116 A broad view
Of the financial world shows that New
York was less affected by the crisis
than any other financial center. At no
time were prices depressed to the Lon
don parity. The depression in London
and on continental bourses was due
more to the panic in Spanish fours than
To any other one cause. These securi-
ties fell 3% in London and 3iI in Paris
on forced liquidation due to financial
difficulties in France and Spain. Total
sales were 264,5OO shares.

Bombardment Regarded as Pre1im.
mary to Landing Troops.

LONDON, April 2S-The lombard
ment of Matanzas Notifications is re-
garded here as a preliminary to the
landing of American troops in Cuba.
1t is also supposed that Rear-Admiral
Sampson desired to judge of the quail
ity of the Spanish gunners, and to give
his men something to do to relieve the
WEAKNESS.
The mystery regarding the move
ments of the Spanish men-of-war is still
unexplained. The Secretaries at the
Spanish Embassy interviewed on the
subject ridicule the statement that the
squadron at Cape Verde is delayed by
lack of coal, because for a long time
the Spanish vessels have been particu-
larly we'll fitted out, not only with coal
but with food and all kinds Of warlike
material; second, because St. Vincent
could supply any required quantity Of
coal.
According to advices via Bayonne,
the battleship Pelayo was completely
fitted and equipped at Carthagena, and
has gone to Cadiz. Reports that she has
been cruising in the company of other
vessels probably means that she has
been trying her boilers.
Cape Verde has really been waiting for
the arrival of the Pelayo and the AL
fonso XIII. and other men-of-war, but
now that Portugal has declared neu-
trality, the fleet will be compelled to
sail without delay, whether reinforced
or not
The continued rise of wheat causes
uneasiness, the price now being higher
than at any time during the last TWEEN
ty years A meeting Of protectionists
in London yesterday again agitated in
favor of a Government reserve of wheat
in England.
Owing to the arrest of some English
men in Cuba as American spies and
their i'll treatment, representations
have been made to the Foreign Office,
and negotiations have been opened for
taking off British subjects by English
men-of war.

WASHINGTON, April 28.-The gen
eral debate on the war revenue bill
closed tonight, after eight and a half
hours of speechmaking. The debate
to-day lacked both spirit and interest
Their was little discussion of the inter
nal revenue features of the bill. The
Democrats continued their assaults on
the bond feature and their advocacy Of
the income tax. The latter was ridi-
culed as a substitute proposition by the
Republicans. The authority to borrow
money was defended by them as abso-
lutely necessary.
There is a difference of opinion on
the Democratic side as to whether the
bill should be voted for upon its final
passage after the minority amendments
are voted down. A number of Demo-
Gratis. led by Mcclellan of New York,
have announced their purpose of so
voting, but the majority Of the Demo-
Gratis believe they could not justify a
vote for a bond issue. An effort is be-
ing made to avoid an aye and nay vote
on the fianl passage, to prevent an ex-
hibition of this division, and tonight
IT seems probable that it will be sue
cessful. There may be some difficulty
about the committee amendments de-
cided upon to-day, as under the order
the bond features of the bill must first
be taken up under the five-minute rule
