Referring to the small vote cast by
the Populist and independence parties.

il was obvious that the Democratic
party was to continue as one of the
two great parties Of the country.

OF Mr. Bryan would have been far bet
ter for the country.

mont of existing law against its vio-
lators instead of prosecuting innocent

the expenditure Of public funds, no
longer even promised by the Republi-
can party; The revise ,rurty, the revl-
sion of the tariff by a substantial re-

LONDON. Nov. o. From reliable
sources Il is reported to-day that
Franco has made tentative inquiries Of
the English foreign office as TO the aid
France might expect of England ia
the event of clash between France
and Germany. upon the Casa Blanca
affair
England is. not hurrying a reply.
Tho foreign Office believes Chancellor
Won Buelow raised this issue merely
to distract Germans attention from the
Kaiscr's famous interview in which no
took credit for aiding England TO whip
the Bocrs
IL IS believed that after Won Buelow
has kent tho discussion active for q
few days Germany end France will
come TO an agreement TO arbitratc.
The Casa Blanca dispute was caused
bv the arrest of General D'Amadc.
French commander m Morocco. on
September 20 of six descrters from the
French foreign legion at Casa Blanca.
Two were German subjects. An agent
of the German consulate at TanglcI

Since the Kaiser interview. Germany
Is insisting that only the question OF

PERJURY CHARGE

Living in House From
Which He Registered
HIGHER COURT WILL
PASS UPON CASE

In the case OF Perry Davis, colored.
heard in City Court this morning. Judge
Cochran said he preferred that the
Upper Court should pass upon the case
and bound Davis over in $500 bail on
the charge of perjury David J. Rein
hardt. who represented Davis. claimed
that the man had legal residence in
this city.
The alleged act was committed in
the sixth district Of the Twelfth ward
on Tuesday last. election day. it being
charged that at that time Mr. Davis
was not a resident OF Wilmington
The warrant was sworn out by WIZ
liam J. McNally who testified he knew
Davis for several years. on Tuesday
McNally acted as outside challenger
Davis. he said. gave his address as
1O7 Union street. but that II was found
the house was vacant.
Wesley Whitaker. colored. was the
next witness. He said he knew Davis
for five or six years. Davis lived in
Union street. he said, but he did not
know whether Davis lived there last
Tuesday or not.
James Doherty testified that Davis
used to live in Union stret but that
when he went TO the place last Monday
night he found nobody there. There
was no light in the place he said. James
Lehan testified that he did not know
whether Davis was living there last
Tuesday or not He said he went to
No. iO7 last Monday evening but the
place was dark.
Had Paid His Rent.
A. G.. b. Anderson, colored. the own
er Of the house, and for whom Davis
worked. testified that Davis had paid
him SIS for rent. saying that he was
going TO Dover for a few days to visit
with his son. The money was i'm ad-
vance. Anderson said. and Davis still
retained the key Of the house so far
as he knew.
Davis told the court that he had
lived at No. 107 Union street for two
years. He was living there when he
registered. he testified. His house
keeper died. he said. and he then went
to Dover to visit his son. intending
TO return to this city. He never had
any other residence. he said
II was brought out in the testimony
that although Davis had. left his ef-
fects in the house before going Ia
Dover. tho colored man Whitaker who
lived next door and whom had been
asked by Davis to look after his things,
moved away taking some OF Davis be-
longings with him.
Mr.. Reinhardt contended that Davis
had a perfect right to vote as he said
It had been shown the colored man
lived here
The charge Of perjury was brought
because it was alleged that. Davis
swore falsely as to his residence Mr..
Reinhardt said he did not think the
testimony supported the charge but
the court thought il would be better
TO hold the matter for the upper tri-
bunal TO decide the point OF law.
