As annonnced in Tue Stan several days ago, the counsel of Cross will tomorrow in the United States Supreme Court file a petition of habeas corpus and certiorari for the pui of bringing be- | fore that court the question of the power of the court below to postpone the day of execution thirty days beyond the ‘Term next fol- lowing the term in which the cace was tried. Although the case has twice been before the Supreme Court this question has never been passed upon by it. Hence this last movement of counsel. Should the writ of habeas corpus be allowed and the granted the whole rec counsel be sustained the release of the con- demaned man would follow as a matter of course. In view of the importance of the case counsel will request the court to grant them a reason- able time in which to argue the point raised, provided, of course, the court should allow the writ. In no event is it thought probable that the hearing will take place before Friday next, the day of execution, even should the writ be nted, but it is not considered probable that authorities would permit the man to be exe- cuted pending the hearing of » case involving bis ts before the court. So it is thought that Cross will not be hanged Friday. It may be, however, that the court will refuse to grant the writ, but even in that event it is thought that a further postponement of the execution may be made. Should the Supreme Court re- fuse to interfere, and in view of that court's seeming disinclination to assume jurisdiction in such cases {tix generally believed that it will refuse to interfere, it is thought counsel will ask the President to either jon Cross or commute his sentence to imprisoment for life. ae ANACOSTIA, A.

Today was no exception to the rale.- One person who figured in such » case was William T. Bailey, » citizen of South Washington. He was charged with threats of violence toward his wife, Mary Bailey. Mrs. Bailey told the court that her husband | had threatened to kill her; that he bad at- tempted to choke her, and had knocked her down.

Trafalgar Square, in London, was yesterday the scene of another animated gathering of | socialists, anarchists and an otherwise motley crowd, which required police supervision, | though no serious conflict occnrred. The an- archists had obtained permission to hold » meeting in the square and had intended to pro- test against the government's permitting the extradition of their colleague, Francois, to France, for his participation in the blowing up of the ‘Restaurant Very, in Paris, last spring. Thousands of spectators assembled in the square, but the anarchists abandoned their in- tention of holding a meeting. ‘The police, how- | ever, were present in numbers to prevent the socialists or unemployed from using the jaare. . Louise Michel and a number of foreigners on entering the square were informed by the police that no meeting would be allowed. The woman said she did not wish to create a disturb- ance, and she ted. Several other speak- ers, howe vored to orate, but the po- lice quickly put a stop to their harangues. A Frenchman, Guerin, surrounded by a crowd of foreigners, held his ground for awhile and de- nounced in French the extradition of Francois He said that if the English government handed Francois over to France and harm.came to him Londoners would hear of the matter again ina very foretble ‘and revolutionary way. here broke up the meeting and com Guerin to move on. An Englishman who was shouting excitedly to another small audience had just time to have adopted a reso- lation condemning the extradition when the as- semblage was dispersed, at about 4:30 o'clock. ‘The police were not called upon to make any arrests. Friends of Francois state that they have col- lected enough money to mect the expense of ‘an appeal from the decision which granted the ex n. town, was in the dock for threatening to kill Alexander Bird, and the trouble was all in family. ‘Does this man live at your house?” the Judge asked. “Sometimes he does and sometimes he don’t,” answored old man Bird. “What right has he at your house?” asked Judge. “‘Ts he any kin to you?” : pay board?” “Not often,” answered the stepfather. “I only charges him a quarter « week and he won't pay that. ‘illiama had threatened to kill the old with a knife and the judge gave him thirty days in de- fault of $200 real estate security.

Edward Gray, the negro who was given a six months’ sentence by Judge Milier Saturday, was brought up from jail this morning and ur- raigned on another charge. ‘This time he was charged with having stolen # watch and chain from A. F. Hartman, a paperhanger, while the latter was at work in the Portland flats. The {dontification of the prisoner was complete, although he denied the charge and claimed that bo been working at Holmstead. Judge Miller was satisfied that his desire to take pos- session of other persons’ property was such that he could not keep his hands off and gave him six months’ imprisonment, making his two sentences a year in jail.

There is little doubt, says. a Berlin dispatch, that the “cold” from which Emperor William suffers at present isa renewal of the trouble with his ear. The trouble was supposed to have been allayed for some time by the bene- fictal effects of the emperor's whaling voyage. It has appeared again, however, with increased violence, From a Berlin physician, who has close rela- tions with several members of the court, these particulars have been ascertained concerning the emperor's ailment. The physician in ordinary to his majesty admits that the emperor suffers from ottorrhea, The emperor, as is customary with the victims of this diseaso, shows often symptoms of grea cerebral irritation, lasting for afew days and then passing away entirely for some time. During these periods of disease the emperor has attacks 6f dizziness aud severe pains on wide of the head nearest the affected ear. he emperor's physician says that the tympanum of the emperor's ear is the seat of a protracted suppuration. By constant care the court physicians ure able to give the discharge from the ear free egress, By this means and occasional treatment to relieve the pains ali ger to the patient's health is avoided. Neverthelees the course of treatment is insnfti- cient to prevent all local pains and periodically the empevor suffers extremely. At such times the emperor is nervous and irritable, and in this condition he has made some of the remarkable speeches which many huve attributed to excess of wine or aspirations to despotism. Men of higher scientific reputation, who have been calied for consultation within the last two -ars, do not believe in this theory i illness, but recognize the exist. disease of the ear. In such a case any tion to the discharge or suspension of treatment at a critical time may place the emperor in the gravest peril. ‘The membrane may at any time thicken over the roof of the tympanum and» perforation of the membrane be followed by fatal result. ‘The emperor is believed by the men oppos- ing the theory of benign illness to be suffering from atumorous or cuncerous affection, and the former 1s more common they incliue to the belief that the disease is cancerous, This conclusion is partially justified in view of the resent emperor's inheritance from his father, Emperor Frederick, who died of cancer of the throat. ¢ Concerning the nature of the emperor's present illness no actual information ix obtain- able, but apparently he has only one of his periodical attacks, accompanied by the sym) toms already described. During such attacks he abstains from work as much as possible and avoids the cold. Otherwise he ia able to follow the usual routine of his life. MINISTERYHELTS SURPRISED. In an interview today Minister Phelps said that he had received a number of cable dis- patches inquiring about his alleged attack on Count von Caprivi. He expressed himself ‘as surprised at ry.as he had always taken particular pains to avoid German politi from his dij du close per- sonal friendahi each of the chancellors would prevent his publicly taking sides with Little Doubt Thi 20+ A CLEVER SWINDLER IN JAIL. How an Englishman Obtained Money by Forgery. Capt. Edgar James Vernell, late of London, is locked up at police headquarters in New York under a charge of forgery. The captain is a tall, rosy-complexioned fellow with an English accent and a bluff, hearty manner, but he is wanted in his native land to answer for a ewin- dle perpetrated upon the Rev. Dr. Aubrey Peart, chaplain of her majesty’s prison at Bir- mingham. Aubrey Peart, the chaplain’s eon, came to this country about a year ago and set- tled near North Fork, Cal. ‘There he met Capt. Vernell, who represented himself as a graduate of the Portsmouth Naval Academy, and said that he had just inherited £5,000, which he had invested in Minnesota land and lost. in’ own life in detail andlet out some family secrets. Vernell Yecided to put Peart out of the way and then live off his reverend father, He hired a man to kill Peart, but Peart killed the man instead, ‘Then the captain stole a letter of introduction given to Peart by the Rev. John R. Worthing- ton, B. A., of Birmingham, and went to Fresno, where he sent the following telegram to Rev. Aubrey Peart: “Send First National Bank, Fresno, to my credit £60. Cable to T. Aubrey Peart. The clergyman suspected something and re- lied that be would send the money"shen be jeare: from his son by lette swered, signing T. Aubrey “Am writing by this mai once. Have a land bargain ‘The money came in response to this second dispatch and went into Vernell’s pocket, but some of it had to go subsequently to George Knight of Fresno, who had loaned the cost of the cable mesenge and demanded repayment at the point of a pistol. Vernell made another “‘strike” by a letter, which was a clever imitation of young Peart’ chirography, but aroused the clergyman’s sus- picions to such an extent that he decided to in- voke the aid of the Birmingham police, who, in turn, called in Superintendent Byrnes. Detec- tives Hickey and Leuther located Vernell in ‘ew York city through learning that a man ering his description had stolen a seal from the office of the British consul general a few weeks ago. When be was searched a number of letters of introduction to bankers and others were found in his possession, and it is evident that he pro- posed 'to “work New York pretty thoroughly. ——_—_+e-_ ‘Two Households Ruined.

He at once went ‘The captain an- rt's name: Cable money at di down town und rent a friend up to his house for his child, but the aroused mother met him at the door with ax and pistol in hand and said that the child would only be taken over her dead body.

The inte Emperor Dom Pedro of Brazil once Rave audience to a young engineer who came to show him a new appliance for stopping rail- way engines, The emperor was pleased with the thing. and eaid: “We will put it at once toa practical test. The day after tomorrow have your engine ready; we will have it coupled to my saloon car- riage and then fire away. When going at full speed I will unexpecte"y give the signal to stop, and then we will see how the apparatus works.

The Baltimore Sun gives the following ex- planation of the trouble between the Panama Railroad Company and the Pacific Mail Steam- ship Company, which has recently caused con- siderable talk about the “Monroe doctrine:"* The hearing of the Panama railroad case in | expore the en- | New York, it is to be hoped, tire history of the relationship between that company and the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany. A temporary injunction hae been ob- tained by Edward Lauterbach to restrain the officers of the Panama company from entering into any contract with the Chilean line. The case will come up for hearing tomorrow. The Panama railroad extends across the Isthmus of Panama, from the city of Panama, on_ the Pa- cific, to Colon, on the eastern coast. The com- pany was chartered under the laws of the state of New York and received aconcession from the Colombian government valid for ninety- nine years, the company to pay annually the sum of $200,000 to the Colom! government and $25,000 to the state of Panama. In case the company should sell out or surronder its charter it is, under the terms of the contract, to forfeit $1,000,000 to the Colombian govern- ment. For a tims the railroad and the Pactfic Mail Steamship Company were under the same man- agement, but they finally drifted apart and a traftic compact was d with between the two companies. In return for a guarantee of « certain minimtm of tonnage the road_practi- cally bound itself to transport no freight to or from New York, California or the western parts of Central America and Mexico except from | the Pacific Mail Company. “That contract expires in February next, and the refusal of the Panama company fo renew it has been made the occasion of some commotion in this coun. try, which has attracted the attention of the President. The fact that a controlling interest in the stock of the Panama company has been bought from the American holders—and they paid @ fancy price for it_by the French Canal company haa excited some talk about the Mon roe doctrine in this connection. But, leaving ont of view any international complication that may arise, it may be well to remember that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company is in the trans- continental combine to up freight rates between the Atlantic and the Pacific. ‘The rail roads in tho pool pay annually a great sum to the steamship company to induce it to main- tain rates equal to those charged by the rail- roads. Thix sends freight by rail and the steamers get the subsidy instead of the freight. As this arrangement deprives he Panama rail- road of businesss that company is naturally dis- satisfied with the arrangement, and ff it is not to get the freight it demands a portion of the subsidy in lieu thereof. Failing to receive that {t now purposes to break up the monopole of the Pacific company and carry freight for other steamship lines upon equal terms. i Profits in Foot Ball. Asa result of Thanksgiving day's foot ball game in New York about $50,000 will be dis- tributed between the two teams, Last year each college received about $14,000, but the attendance was far below that of Thanksgiving, when probably 40,000 people paid to see the game. The Manhattan Athletic Club, upon whose grounds the game was played, will re- ceive $6,000. Tine net receipts will then be equally divided between the colleges. ———-e-—_ Insane by Fear of the Comet. Three cases of insanity through fear of the destruction of the world by the comet were re- ported by the Philadelphia police last night, and prominent physicians who were seen pre- dicted many cases of nervous prostration and possible death would result from_ the intense strain upon the nervous systems of the weak and superstitious, Mamie Haniford, twenty-two years old, of 825 Wood street became violently insane and by the advice of her physician sent to the insane department of the Philadel- phin Hospital to be cared for. 0+ Among the arrivals by the steamer La Gas- cogne at New York yesterday was M.
