Lexington, Ky., November 2T.—A suit has beon filed in the Anderson county court in which Senator Darid B. Hill, of New York, is prominenL The suit is brought to have set aside a deed to a tract of land in Andenon county and divide it among certain heirs of Morrison Osborne, who died years ago. The defense will likely be that Osborne had no title, and that the title of the land in question and about nine hun dred acres adjoining it is the property of the Hill and Howling heirs, of New York state, Senator Hill being the sole heir of the Hill portion and jointly in terested with the Bowlings in the own ership of the whole tract.

It is alleged that under the guise of confident that no American interests i have been jeopardized, and that being the case, this government they eonud- er, is not called upon as yet to take any active Interest in the matter.

Washington, November *7.—Cabinet officers talked mysteriously yesterday about the possibility of disposing of surplus American rflver when China comes to pay the enonnout indemnity which it seems certain she will soon have to pay Japan. From the discus sion by the members of the administra tion yesterday it is likely that there is some plan on foot to take advantage by diplomatic negotiations of the situation when the payment of the indemnity la arranged and to obtain China as a cus tomer for our surplus •liver. One of the members of the administration, j when pressed to talk on the matter last night, said that he oould not discuss it from a government standpoint, but would say that it teemed quite likely if When Baby wss sick, we gsw ber Dastorle.

He disentangled the knot, and then slid down to the ladder. him to one year's imprisonment. The sentence had not yet been carried into effect yesterday morning when the elder Wayne appeared at the court house and asked to see the jndge. The latter was conferring in the private room with lay judges Hoffman and Henry, but when Wayne made a Ma sonic sign and asked for a private audi ence, the other judges left the room. Wayne then said to the jndge: "I am a Mason. Jndge, and so are you. I want yon to let np on my boy. If you will suspend sentence upon him it will be worth all the way from one to five thousand dollars.” “Well.” answered Jndge Hndspeth, who hanted a witness to this state ment, “I’ll have to consult one of the other Judges on this question.” He called in Judge Hoffman, and In hls presence Wayne repeated the offer. Then Judge Hudspeth became so angry that he struck Wayne and immediately ordered his arrest. Prediction That the Next Year** Figure* Will Greatly Increase. Cleveland, O., November 23.—The Iron Trade Review says: The proba bility. amounting almost to a certainty, | that higher prices will be paid in 1895 j for coke and for Bessemer ores; the fact that up to November 1st, stocks of ! gig iron had been increasing slightly in the face of steadily decreasing output that deaehed a yearly rate of nenrly 8,- 500.000 tons on that date; the further fact that any noticeable increase of Bessemer pig iron consumption will call lethargy of the past week to the life and brightness which is tha wonted character of the gay winter season. The Czar and his attendants arrived at the winter palace at ten o'clock. All who had been invited to witness the marriage ceremony had been directed toassemble in the rooms to which they were respectfully assigned by 11:80 o'clock at the very latest.
