The clerk’s suspicions were aroused, and an investigation showed that the old warrants recently paid had been stamped with a false seal and many of them had not been receipted for on the warrant book stuK Others had been receipted for by Mr. Reese on orders, and as the clerk had reason to believe the orders were forgerien he had Mr. Reese arrested for forgery and grand larceny. hater new interest was awakeded by the discovery that several of the warrants bad been raised, one from SI to $40, another from $2 to $12, and so on, making an aggregate of over $90. Mr. Reese was re-arrested but plead not guilty and was bound over.

VICTIM OP A CONSPIRACY. Got. Blown Claim. ■ Plot Wu Laid M KIU Hi. Bon. Louisville, Ky., May 9.—The Courier*. Journal prints the following: “The sensation attending the Qordon double killing is not over by half. The prose cution will attempt to prove that Arch Dixon Brown's death was due to a plot to assassinate him. Governor Brown has reason to believe that the facts of his son'-i coming to Louisville on the day of the tragedy and his meeting with Mrs. Gordon were known to a man in Frankfort, who telegraphed to a man in Louisville. This Louisville man, the prosecution claims, notified Gordon that .its wife was to meet Brown and ‘active ly assisted in a foul assassination.’ Mr. James A. Scott, the Frankfort attorney employed by Governor Brown to prose cute the case, said: "I want to say that Governor Brown never authorized any statement that he would not prosecute the case nor did he ever dream of grant ing a pardon to Gordon, as has been stated. Before deciding on the step Governor Brown took counsel with a number of intimate friends from all over the state. He came to the conclu sion that It was due the memory of his son that there should be a full and fair Investigation of all the facts. He was convinced that Gordon must have known that his wife was dissipated, reckless and imprudent. Governor Brown and his counsel would shrink from any attack on Mrs. Gordon’s char acter, but would prefer to throw the veil of charity over all her acts, especially as she is dead. The future will deter1 mine whether it will be necessary to further blacken the character of Mrs. Gordon in order to show the defend ant's thorough knowledge of It. I think the developments will be surprising to some people.” CHINA IN NEED OP FUNDS. Asks Russia and France to Advance a Large Loan. London, May 9.—A dispatch from Shanghai says the Chinese emperor has written to the czar and President Faure asking for financial assistance to meet war expenses and promising to grant special commercial advantages to Rus sia and France in return therefor.

Russia is evidently glad to get out of a very awk ward position without haggling as to the particular form of language in which Japan agrees to refrain from an nexing the Liau Tong peninsula. The Russian military preparations in the far east have been suspended in accord ance with the orders from the war office.
