Government, it is said at the Palace, has
not authorized the exchange Of the pris-
oners of the Merrimac. The gunboat

lean warship, under a flag of truce, and
the Commander of the latter was in
formed that Captain General Blanco has
no authority to exchange Naval Con-
structor Hobson and his gallant compan-
ions for Spaniards who are now held
prisoners in the United States.
The Spanish authorities here absolute

the Crime in the Court

less severe doses Of justice to malefactors
yesterday afternoon. John Morloski, who
had been convicted with Stoney Regan, of

aeter, was let off with three months in
the penitentiary.
William Dolan was sent to the peniten-
tiary for three months for embezzlement.

the flag pole. got drunk on the proceeds,
Bayonne.
Monte's drug store in Washington street,
was sent to the County Jail for thirty
days for malicious mischief.
Sentence was suspended in the case of
Louis Stockwell, who had pleaded guilty
Of petty larceny. He had stolen a coup
ling pin from the Central Railroad yard.
Judge Blair intended to send John
Walsh and Peter Roden, two boys who
had pleaded guilty of stealing pigeons, to
the Reform School because he had been
informed that they had no homes and
nobody to look after them. He was in
formed, however, that they have homes,
and they were sent back to the County
Jail until an investigation can be made.
Patrick Kelly and William Hughes. the
river pirates who were convicted of steal
ing a hawser from the Central Railroad
freight boat, were sent to State prison for
three and two years, respectively. Kelly

was the leader of the marauding ex-
pedition.

Charles Wentzekel. a boy who had
pleaded guilty of breaking, entering and
larceny, and the Freeholders We're dl-
reeted to pay the costs.
Sentence was also suspended in the case
of Marie Laing, an aged woman from Ho-
boken, who had pleaded non vult 10 one
count of an indie tment for engaging in
the policy business.
Lawyer Joseph M. Noonan made plea
for her and informed the Court that she
had never been there before. She was
not engaged in selling policy, but had
made an investment in the game. As
Sistant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle offered no
objection to the suspension of sentence on
payment of cost. Afterward Mr.. Noonan
learned that Mrs. Laing had been SEN
fenced in 1895 to six months in the peni-
tentiary for dealing in policy and he so
informed Judge Blair this morning. No
change has been made in the disposition
of the case.

sition to have practically all of the work
of framing bills left to the caucus. In
that case, no personal feeling will enter
into the discussion OF measures. A
leading member of the House suggests
that the caucus discuss and agree on
the main features of a railroad bill and
ask Attorney General Boyle and other
leading attorneys to draw up bills cover
ing the ground, with instructions to give
special attention to the matter Of guard
ing against legal defects, which might
endanger the law after its passage. That
sort of a measure would not give any one
person any special prestige, but would
be the result of the work Of all. No
votes for it would be lost, because Of
enmity for it's special patrons, nor for
friendship for it's opponents The senti-
ment plainly expressed seems to be
get together. Minor differences will
be yielded and the main purpose Of the
session will be accomplished.
When the special session idea was first
suggested it was opposed by many lead
ing Populists. Ex-Chairman John W..
Breidenthal and Secretary Upton fa-
vored it. while Chairman Riddle felt dis
posed to oppose it. Webb McNall was
very much inclined to take the oppos-
ing side. A few weeks Of discussion and
letters from the members themselves
served to turn the tide though, and when
Governor Leedy issued his proclamation
he was encouraged by nearly everyone
of the prominent men in the party.
Ex-Chairman Breidenthal says: ut
is the proper thing for our party to do
at this time, it will insure the enact
ment of the legislation we promised the
people in the campaign Of 1896. There
ought to be nothing to hinder speedy ac-
ton on a railroad bill that will be bene-
fetal to the shippers and the public gen.
orally Of Kansas. I am not in favor Of
attempting too much. The passage OF
a few measures in the interest of the
public, which we have no reason for eX-
pecting the Republicans to pass, will be
enough"
Speaker Street says: while 1 did
not at first favor a special session, we
have assurances that seem to me to be
very thoroughly reliable that this ses-
sion will enact railroad and perhaps
other legislation in the interest of the
public. For my part l shall do my best
to secure such legislation as believe the
people want We know better now than
we did two years ago what measures
will stand the tests in the courts"
