A Forgery Case.

In Justice McMaster's court yester-
day Lars Johnson, driver for the
Pacific Express company, pleaded not
guilty to a charge of forgery preferred
by Joseph a. Sanborn. the company's
local manager. The hearing was set
for Friday at 10 a. m. and bail was fixed
at $3.50 which he furnished. There are
two counts in the complaint, alleging
first that on Sept. %. 1898, he forged
the signature of c. r. Savage to a re-
ceipt and confiscated a package con-
tanning Sis. which he should have de-
livered to Savage. The second count
alleges the forgery of c. r. Savaga's
signature. involving an equal amount,
but at a different date.

Admiral Dewey is familiar with the

INSTRUCTED TO DELAY.
Commissioners Must Not Acquiesce
In American Refusal.

New York, Oct. ga dispatch to the
World from Paris says: The Spanish
commissioners have been instructed to
delay as much as possible their acqui-
escence III the refusal OF the Americans
TO accept any part of SPANS Cuban
debt, but to do nothing to give the
American commissioners ground for
breaking off the negotiations. The
Spanish commissioners declare that a
circular note will be addressed to the
powers, detailing the serious conse-
quences which the assumption of the
Cuban debt would have upon the SOL
Vency of Spain. Having done this they
will bow to the inevitable, because they
have been given clearly to understand
that the United States will not go a
step further with negotiations until she
is cleared of the Cuban debt question
and complete evacuation of the island
is positively promised for Jan. l, 1898.

DEFECTIVE CONDITIONS.

! According to this statement Repub-
/ lican control of the next senate is very
easy, but the Democratic managers
I find some serious defects in his calcu-
/ lations. They name several of the
/ states which he put down as certain
/ by Republicans as being almost sure
to elect a senator of the opposite po
/ litical faith. Among these states may
be enumerated Michigan, where there
/ is fierce contest between Governor
Pingree and Senator Burrows. The
state of Wisconsin gives excellent as
surances of returning Democrat; the
state of North Dakota is almost sure
to return Senator Roach, and in Penn
sylvania Boss Quay is making the
fight for life, and is believed 10 be a
sure loser.
In the doubtful column Chairman
Babcock has included Nebraska. Wyo.
ming, Washington and California, all
of which the Democratic committee
place in the sure Democratic column.
1t is believed at Democratic headquar-
ters that New York and New Jersey
will elect Democratic senators, and
there ought to be no doubt about little
Delaware, which elected one in the
fierce turmoil of 1896.
CLAIMING THE HOUSE.
The Republican claim as to the next
house varies somewhat. Chairman
Babcock admits that the next house
will not have as large a majority for
the Republicans as the present one. but
asserts that it will be a comfortable
working majority. Senator Hanna, in
Republican interviews, pooh-poohs the
idea that the house can have as much
as 10 Republican majority. He says
he is no day dreamer, and does not
believe in predicting what cannot we'll
come to pass.
Chairman Babcock says: THE situa-
ton, from our standpoint is much more
satisfactory than it was a few weeks
ago. We expect to elect enough Re-
publican representatives to give us a
good working majority in the house.
we ngure on losing some of the pres
ent majority of 81. Our losses will be
IN the EASTERN middle and so-called
border states, and will result mainly
from local causes. We do not expect

Kansas City Mo-, Oct. 26.-The trial
of Jesse James. son of the noted out
law, for completely in the Missouri Pa
cific train robbery at Leeds on Sept.

eessitating postponement. Judge Wof-
ford promptly called in Judge Shackle-
ford Of Boonville. and set the case for
next Monday A formidable array of
witnesses have been subpoenaed, and a
battle royal is expected. The case of
young James, who, up to the time of
his arrest for alleged completely in the
robbery had borne an excellent reDI-
tation, has excited great interest, and
many of the best men in the city have
come out in his defense. Chief of Po-
lice Hayes, on the other hand, declares
that he has evidence sufficient to con-
vict James. Frank James of st. Louis,
uncle of the accused and brother of the
