supreme Court Coming.

The January term OF the state supreme
court commences tomorrow. The docket is
rather larger than usual, though the i'm
portant cases for disposal or likely to be
decided are not numerous. There is an
unusually large Number of criminal cases.
The attorney general today filed briefs in
twelve cases to be submitted. Some Of
these are rehearings and the number Of
applications for rehearing is constantly
growing. One of the most important of the
rehearings is in the Brady case from Polk
county, in which the attorney general asks
the court to change a rule established in
the original decision in relation to pos
session of stolen goods being evidence Of
guilt. This and asnumber of similar cases
recently decided have aroused the oppo-
sition Of the bar Of the state and they all
declare that IL the decision stands as origi-
naIly made last October it will make it
very dificult to convict of larceny in a
large class of cases. All the MEMBERS Of
the court are on hand and ready for the
opening Of the term. Judge Bishop will
for the first lime preside as chief justice.
EastOn Case Submitted.
Attorney General Mullan returned to his
office today after having made a second
trip to Washington to appear before the
United States supreme court in the Easton
bank case from Iowa. When he was be-
fore the court in December he succeeded
in having the case set for the first thing
In the January term, but when he went
to Washington he found the court had ad-
vanced other cases ahead of the Easton
case. The case waited nearly two weeks
before it was finally submitted. Mr.. Null
Ian argued to sustain the Iowa courts in
convicting Easton, who vas president of n
national bank at DEBORAH, OF the crime of
having received a deposit after he knew
the bank was insolvent. An attorney from
Mason City and another from New York
resisted this and sought a ruling that in
asmuch as the bank was a national bank
the state law could not regulate such mat
tiers. The case is regarded as a test case
and a hard fight is being made for this
reason. Easton fought it through the state
courts and finally took it to Washington,
being out on bond in the meantime.

A VOYAGE IN THE AIR.
Across the Atlantic Will Be At
 tempted in the Near Future.

Paris Cor. Chicago Record-Herald.
 An attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean in an air ship Is about to be made by Elisee Reclus. noted French geograph- CT, and Louis Capazza, the inventor of the parachute balloon and an aeronaut who distinguished himself a few years ago by making a daring trip over the Mediterranean Sea from France to Cor sica.
 The start will be made from the Canary Islands about the middle of next May. An enormous balloon is being built for the trip, four times larger than the largest ever made It will have a capacity of about 46.00O cubic feet and will be spher- ical in shape, and will be infiata.' with hydrogen gas.
 The balloon will have two baskets. The upper one will be furnished with a cabin for sleeping. The principal accessory will be a non-snkable boat equipped with a sixty horsepower motor and fuel for a twenty-day run.
 It is calculated that the probabilities are that the balloon may land at one of three points-near the mouth of the Am azon river, near the Island of Trinidad or in Yucatan, Mexico.
 From the Island of Palma. in the Cana | ries, the distance to Para, Brazil. Is 2, 0C miles, to Trinidad 3,1C0 and to Yucatan crossing the Caribbean Sea, 49O0. The highest average speed of the wind Is reck- oned at fifty miles an hour and the low est thirty. Making only the lowest speed over the greatest distance, the time re. quired will be six days and nineteen hours. Going at the highest speed the shortest distance. the time required will be two days and four hours. The balloon will be provided with means | of changing it's course north or south and may choose a landing at any point or the north coast of South America. In case of accident the balloonists car take refuge in the non-sinkable boat. talk. ing sufficient food for six weeks. They have no fear of mourning the fate of Andre, for the region they seek Is more quiet. the winds are more certain and the balloon is adequate.
 The scheme is being taken up with great enthusiasm by the Aero Club of France and Is exciting much interest in balloon circles all over Europe. JameS Gordon Bennett is credited with contrib uting 5000.

 Matter of Language.
 The Hague. Oct. 2-The Venezuelan ar oitration tribunal decided the minutes ef the sessions and the awards in the aues- ton Of the preferential claims of the af- lied powers shall be drawn up both in English and French, and that written or printed memoranda shall be presented in Engiish, and may be accompanied by q translation in the language of the country submitting them and that the decision be in English or French.
 Wayne MacveVagh. senior counsel for the United States, protested against the decision of the tribunal which. he de- clared, was based on the erroneous sup position that Venezuela accepted the res- ervation of Franch regarding Article ', under which English alone was to be used for arguments.
 Arbitrator DeMartens, professor of in- ternational law at the University of St. Petersburg, said that without official doc uments the tribunal would be unable to judge of the justice of Mir. Macveagh's remarks.
 The German representative, Herr Buens. complained that the decision violated the proctocal, and that he would have to ask his Government for instructions; but in the meantime he would participate in the proceedings without prejudice to German rights.
 Subsequently Mir Clunet. on behalf of Belgium, Spain, France. The Netherlands and Sweden and Norway, which States M. Muravien. the presiding ofncer, had de- scribed as defendants. as distinguished from Great Britain, Germany and Italy. the blockading powers. asked that the ar- guments of the three allied powers be promptly delivered to him so that the defending powers might be prepared to reply.

Czar,s New Favorite.
