ing following the publication of the article. when the directors failed to induce him to sign retraction. it was plain that he would kill the plaintiff before he would endanger the reputa- ton of the paper by publishing . con tradiction. He referred to Nh. Curley as the defendants factotum, and Said that he conniVed with the latter in placing" ill the Globe the first re- traction. The defendants malice and hatrcd were not yet appeased and he put that retraction where no one would see it.
 The colonel closed with q dramatic plea regarding the irresponsibiHty of some newspapers, that they will allow themselves to be used for mud-slinging and rakinc up the reputation of honest men. Too much of this. he said, has been indulged in in this state ofelate. and 1t was time it should be stopped. He spoke for fully an hour At 3 o'clock rhe court began to address the jury.
 Judge Wheeler, in his remarks to the jury. said the article was not q privileged article and that the pre- sumption of the court regarding the plaintiffs reputation was that it was good. and that the jury should re- member the defendants claim that he was justified in writing such an arti- cle. and also remember that the re- port on which he based the accusa- tfons. made in that article occurred d number of years before the article was written. The case was given to the jury at 3:30.
 The jury reported at a4:20. They awarded the plaintiff damages of 5000 and costs.

WORK OF ASSASSIN.
says the Speech From the Throne at
 Berlin.

Berlin. Nov 1.-The Reichstag re- assembled to-day. The speech from the throne dwelt at cousidera ble length on the events in China. which have excited such deep emotion among civilized people. saving:
 "Funatical hate and dark Supcrsti ton. melted hy tue unscrupulous aG- visers Of the court, have driven miS- guided masses of Chinese to acts of atrocity against the outposts of west ern civilization and Christian worship dwelling p"acpfuly in their midst.
 My minister died at the hand of an assassin, in u courageous attempt To overcome the rising peril. TlIe for cignerS at th" capital saw themselves threatened. life and Iilnn These things of horror united the civilized community. where otherwise there was q divergence All nations against which the unparalleled onslaught wds directed drew closer. Their sons fought with one mind, shoulder to shoulder. rven as wonder standards float side by side. So the govern mentS show themselves in council, united with the sole wish to restore an orderly state of things as speedily as possible, and. after the punishment of the chief CUlBrijS. avert q FCcur- renee in the future of SuCu q disturb auce of the peace of the worlu.'
 Tn announcing that the relations C.. Germany with all the powers are good the speech recalls his majesty's sor- TOW at the assassination of King Hum bert of Italy. saying that he was My ally and dear friend, who fell q vie tim 10 H daInnable outrage
 The speech then proceeds:
 Il would sooner have consulted the RpichstaG OH the measures in China but for the necessity of prompt action and the difficulty of furnishing relia- bic information. Whenever the Ileichstag could form decisions or cs- innate the expenditure required the government felt confident that the rep rescntatives would not refuse their subsequent sanction to the necessary expenditure.
 Turning to domestic matters. his; majesty said that in consequence of the natural growth of the revenue and the increased taxation voted last SeS- sion, more abundant funds were avail able in almost every branch of life in the empire. especially for measures for the benefit of workers and for the defence of the country. A customs tariff. he added. would probably be laid before the Bundesrath during the present session.
 The speech concluded by announcing various bills which would be intro duccd.
 The ceremony of opening the Reich stag occurred at noon i'll the Knights hall of the Schloss. in the presence of the emperor.
 At the conclusion of the speech from the throne. Emperor William was warmly cheered and Count Won Bue- low. the imperial chancellor, former | ly declared the session opened.

 With Forgery.

With Forgery.
 ELMIRA, Nov. 14.--Dr. Frank H. Flood, mayor of this city, was placed un der arrest yesterday afternoon by virtue of Il warrant issued by Recorder Michael derman Francis McCahn of the Fourth ward. The warrant charges forgery in the first degree.
 The action was not surprising, as 1t had been rumored ever since the arrest of Miss Catherine Loonie that she had in an. affidavit implicated the mayor in her crime, that of offering for record forged deeds of property belonging to Miss Mar garet G. Kennedy of Binghamton, as told in these dispatches st the time of Miss Loonie's arrest.
 Miss Locnie, who is under sentence of four years and nine months to Auburn prison, was taken before the recorder on Monday and reiterated the statement that she had previously made in the affidavit which is in possession of District Attor- ney F. F. Aidrich.
 Upon waiving examination, the mayor was held to bail in the sum of S1O,ooO to await the action of the next gr2 nd jury. His bondsaen are his cousin, for lQer Congressman Thomas s. Flood; Jsld- son Clark, capitalist, and Fire Commis- sioner Everett La France. Flood is 49 years of age, has . wife and two daugh- ters and is one of the most competent and successful physicians in the city.
 He was at the last municipal election chosen over former City Chamberlain F. E. Bundy, now serving Q sentence in Au- burn prison for embezzling about $50, GOO of the city's funds.

 New York. Nov 14.-Nicnael Davitt, Nl. r.. has cabled from Paris to the Journal and Advertiser in part as fo.' lows:
 It iS q unique testimony to the great individuality of President Kru- ger that his voyage to Europe is watched with more intense interest by the continental press than i:S the pro- &EesS of the war in China. The daily calculations of the speed of the Geld prIaud. with it's illustrious passenger have two mHiu Inspirations namely, curiosity ;;S to what the indouitable president may say for his people and against England when he lands as b1arsniilos. and the probable effect 0t this upon the attitude Uf the Euro peon powers. and the military policy of the British i'll the further proSccu- tion of the war.
 All speculation agrees upon two DOlIltS. uGit' 1lLt 10 tt DOT jdill revelations.

Proof will also be adduccd that Kru- ger purchased the ammunition for the Ruer armies from Birmingham tirln' in which the family and friends of tn" colonial secretary have q large direct interest.

Judge Wheeler Asked to Settle q Point
 Between City and Town.
 The committee whose duty it is to agree upon sum to be turned over an- nually by the town to the city, have failed to come 10 an agreement, and Judge Wheeler has been asked to step in and decide the question. The sum agreed upon last year, and which was paid to the city last June, was $13.00o. The town was willing to make it S15.- Oun for next year. but the city wanted S1l.O0O. The Selectlnent finally con ScntGd to advance the offer trite. but the points of the difference were so marked that it became apparent that they could not agree. and by unanimous consent it was decided to let the court pass upon it. The com mittee consists of Mayor Kilduff. Al dermen Mananey and Blakeslee. repre- Senting the city. the last two named being appointed by the chairman of the board of aldermen. and the board of Selectmen for the town. According to the charter if they cannot come to an understanding among themselves they must appeal 10 a judge of the su nrenp court and they have done that. Judge Wheeler will hear the case on November 20. Sheriff Mcdonald left the papers at the office of City Attor- npy Kellogg today.
