Disprove Larceny Charge.

ALBANY, n. Y, Sept 25.-Mem-
bers of the Court of Appeals to-day
came to an open break on a vitaily
important question. bearing not only
upon the final determination of ne
Impeachment proceedings, but upon Il
sensational sequel, in which it is al
legged * the Democratic leaders, di-
rected by Patrick E. McCabe, are pre-
pairing to push a criminal indictments
in this county against Governor Sui
ger the moment the impea chment pro-
ceedings end.
The Grand Jury will assemble Octo-
Der 6, and it became known to-day
that plans already had been made for
evidence looking to the indictment Of
the Governor at this session.
Judge Hiscock opened the fight that
split the Court of Appeals in .wo
factions when he came into violent
clash with the ruling or Chief Justice
Cullin, in which he held that the tes-
tjmony of Jacob H. Schiff and other
witnesses might be admitted to show
that Sulzer had not committed lar
ceny by converting to his personal
purpose campaign funds because the
witnesses had not limited the Govern
or in the matter [ expending the
funds.
Vital Issue Goes Over.
The big question, taking with it the
issue as TO whether larceny had or
had not been committed, and bear
ing directly upon the collateral Grim
inal prosecution planned in this coun r.

insistence Of the presiding judge, to
be determined at the close of the trial

tanned in the impeachment.

ColweIl, the broker, with whom Gov
ernor Sulzer is alleged to have en-
joyed a personally conducted expedi-
ton into the wilds of Wall street,
Counsel for the Governor promised
to produce both of these men.
Strenuous efforts were made at the
beginning of to-day's session Of the
court to repair the damage done the
prosecution yesterday by the testI-
mony of Jacob II. Schiff and Henry
Morgenthau.
Schiff is Recalled.
A hurry call was sent for the return
Of Jacob H. Schiff The plan is to
make him run the gauntlet of cross
examination under the fire of John
b. Stanchfield.
The managers were disappointed at
the ease with which lsidor Kresel let
the banker slip away with his Sulzes
testimony
Sulzer was free to use the
$4,000 check given him by Jacob H.
Schiff. a New York banker. in any
way he chose. The banker 80 de-
clared on the witness stand at the
Impeachment trial of the Governor.
The designation OF the check across
its back as a contribution to the Gov
ernor's campaign fund did not re-
strict its use to that purpose. Mr.,
Schiff said.

of the administration currency bill
scored an important victory In the
house Democratic caucus when they
brought to their aid an unqualified en-
dorsement OF the measure from Sec.

trusts and he urged Democrats to
stand by the president" and not to
load down the currency bill with any
amendments that might endanger its

struggle is being wsged by army en-.
gineers to keep the Panama railroad
On top Of an almost bottomless Quag
mire In what are known as the
BRACES and Quebrancha bottoms in
the Gstun river valley. Success. the
reports indicated, is In sight after
most arduous work.
Bedrock lies almost 200 feet below
the surface overlsid by thick, soft
clay, decompessd vegetable matter
and sand. Thousands of IONS Of

only to be swallowed up by the quag-
mire.
In consequence the four railroad
embankments across the valley, az
gregating only three miles, have re-
ouired ave million cubic yards OF
filling.
