THE LATEST TELEGRAPHIC penne oo napa hiygte —-———_—— Dewey's Friends Shocked by His * ’ Announcement. Wasutneaton, April 4—Admiral Dewey’s announcement of his Presidential aspirations bas created the most pe culiar political sensation ever felt here. Nobody regards it seriously. On all sides and from members of every politigal party, come expressions of astonishment and ridicule. Opinion seems universal that the Admiral has wrecked completely the good opinion the American people had of him. His close friends are dumbfounded. His brother-in-law, John R. McLean, who has had wide political experience, when told about the Admiral’s announcement, exhibited symptoms of fainting away, and, while refusing to make a statement, did say it was pews to him. Mrs. Dewey is.responsible for this announcement without doubt. It was discovered today that for the last two weeks she has been telling her social awarded, informed the Board this afternoon that if the county officers would vacate the building in six weeks the company would complete the work . within six months from that time. It is thought that the County Offcars will be installed into their _ new places about the first of December. The Pacific Construction Company will file a bond for the full amount. of the contract for the fulfillment thereof, and also guarantee the payment of all claims and demands for labor and materials furnished. The Board ailowed Wm. Mooser & Son $843.57 for services as architects. When the building is completed it will be one of the most convenient as well as one of the finest looking structures in the State. ———_--—_+-0@e-o— Personal Mention. T. P. Blue is over from You Bet.

Mamie Sullivan a domestic, was asphyxiated where she friends that the Admiral would soon make a political announcement, and she has such sublime faith in his popularity that she firmly believes he can‘ be elected tothe highest executive office in the world without regard to party, platform or political managers. At the White House the subject was discussed. The President showed no concern over the announcement, but, shrewd political manager that he is, he expressed his sorrow over Dewey’s s'upendous blunder. Here is what some Californian’s think of Dewey’s candidacy : 59 Representative De Vries: “I do not seriously regard the candidacy of any man who has no platform upon important matters.” Representative Waters: “If the interview is correct, and he states that he is a candidate, but unwilling to state of which party, then I should say he ought to have a political guardian appointed immediately.” Representative Kahn: “I feel satisfled that Dewey stands absolutely no chance for nomination by either party.” Representative Barham: “I don’t believe Dewey ever made that statement, but if he did he has held the last official position he ever will hold in this world.” Representative Needham: “His candidacy makes no difference with the two great national conventions. The Republians will nominate McKinley’ the Democrats will nominate Bryan’ and McKinley will be electé?,” WASHINGTON, April 4.—Senator Hanua said, respecting Dewey’s canannounced Aipril 1—April fools day.” Aud that’s all Mr. Hanna would say about it. Final Verdict. ALBANY, N. Y., April5—The Molineux case is not expected to be taken up by the Court of Appeals until next winter. The delay is in part explained by the enormity of the record which must be placed before the judges. When this record is typewritten it will contain as many words as are to be found in all of Thackeray’s writings, excepting the earlier sketches and poems. The judges will not read the whole of it. They will only turn to it for reference, and read thove parts of it which are involved in the argument upon appeal. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get an opinion under three years.

It is understood that the Lake Shore and Michigan Central favor pro rating on whatever rates the Chicago-St. Paul roads may find necessary to meet “Soo” line competition. A western Passenger Agent says that on March 7 General Passenger Agent Daniels of the New York Central stated if the lines between Chicago and Buffalo refused to help the ChicagoSt. Paul lines meet “Soo” line competition, the lines east of Buffalo would.

He Makes a General Denial of i All the; Charges Made ~~ Against Him. The Court-Room Filled With Spectators Who Expected a Sensation. The Superior Court-room was filled this morning with eager listeners to hear the evidence for the defense in the case of the People vs. White. ‘The defendant’s attorney, J.M. Walling, made bo statement of his line of defense, but at once called Ralph White, the defendant, to the witness stand. After the introductory statement of’ his name, residence, etc., his attorney proceeded to interrogate him as to the charges ‘stated in the testimony of the prosecating witnesses. The defendant denied them all—all that had any material bearing on the case. He said that Lee Shoecraft never mentioned the burglary of Crawford’s store to him on his call on him at the Central House; that Shoecraft came up there to see him about getting a room at his house, as
he had had a row with Mrs. Harrison.
