( Special Telegram. ) The Dorsey case In federal court was grind ing along all iiay with P. M. Dorsey on the stand being cross-examined by the at torney for the government. The questions were mostly about various prices of property In 1'onca , Dlxon , Denver and other places , wjlch Dorscy had put Itr at high valuations. Thn government claims that the property in moat caEcs was valued at five times Its iictual worth and that some of It was unloaded In exchange for largo notes that were really worthless. Nine lots In Denver , \vhch | Darscy Bald wtro worth ? 5,000 , had been turned over to a man who worked 1m Dorscy's stable , In exchange for a $ iGOO note. Witness slid he cnuld not remember whether the mortgage to Rccurc the notes .had been recorded or not. The defense objected to this line of questions. The objection was overruled by the judge , who said : "Tho oUdcnco demonstrates that the de fendant took a mortgage on the property from n financially worthless man and did not deem the property valuable enough to record the mortgage. The fact should bo shown the jury , it la customary In such OIRCS for a man receiving sticii a mortgage to make a bco line for Lie recordei'a ofiicc. " The government also Inquired closely about a stock of merchandise In 1'onoi , which Dsrsoy had claimed to own , and which It wns desired to show had been purchased In exchange for notes belonging to the bank.

From military sources It Is learned that a general plan has bcca agreed on by the War and Navy departments relative to the control of commence and shipping In the port of New York , In the event of hostili ties. The plan has Ml been made public , says the Now York Herald , but some of Its iuo3t Interesting features are known. Ai the very outset of war being declared , guard vessels would be statl-iiud tit Sundy nook and at the Narrows on the south side , and at Hell Gate and Willcts Point to the east ward. All vessels approaching New York would have to report at the outer guard ships and have their pipers examined. H found correct , they would be permitted to proceed toward the city. The papers would be re-examined by the Inner line of guard vessels but the examination would be of slioit duration BO long as there was a v'nc from the outer vessels. In passing .tit to Hca the llrst examina tion would be either at Hell Gate or at the Narrows , lloth positions would be con nected by military telegraph with the ouicr Hvv offfffl csenl mya aln g stations. Should a vessel attempt to p-s-i the Inner line and run to sea , the fac * would bo communicated by wlro to Sandy Hook ' .r Wlllets 1'olnt , and the outer line would take steps to stop her. No vcascl.1 } except those of the government and those having special authority would be permitted lo pass In or out of the haibor after night fall. The guard vessels and torpedo erati assigned t _ . the protection of the port would overhaul and examine at all times , where deemed advisable , every form of craft com ing under observation. Foreign war ships would not be permitted to enter New York In a greater number than three , and , except , when good reasons were assigned , the siay of a foreign war craft would be limited to eight da > s. At Sandy HoJk , Wllleta 1'olnt ami at Fort Hamilton a detail of naval ofll- cers and a few signal men would be sta tioned In a consulting capacity. The naval olllcers would be expected to glvo such In formation relative t othe vessels In range as experience would dictate. All telcgpiuh systems leading to h- > various shore points would be under the charge of the commandant of the military district , anJ when messages were to be sent by cables by private Individuals t'hey would have to pass through the hands or a censor. No messaged would bo permitted to be sent abroad In cipher by private senders. A1 ship approachIng - Ing Sandy Hook by day would have to obtuin permission before It would be permitted to como within range of the shore defenses. Should It como In without having first ob tained consent by Mgnal It would be warned off by n blank thot. Should this prove In- sufllcleiit It would bo followed by a shot across Its bows and finally by a direct shot If necessary. A ship would have to stop and hoist its number , thus Indicating Its wish to enter the harbor. This signal would be an swered at the fort by tne International prac- tiquc. If the answer was "No , " the vessel would have to stand out to sea under pain of being fired on If It continued to approach. The pilotage of the port would be In the hands of the military commander of the dis trict. All pilotage not coming under the di rection of\the military authorities would be prohibited. The pilots would be known as military pilots anl would bo required to take an oath of loyalty to the government. The positions of the torpedo mines would ba pointed out to them and they would be re quired to observe the utmost secrecy con cerning aho defenses. All the pilots wouli ! bo given certificates showing them to bo un der the jurisdiction of the military authori ties and these certificates would bo their commli'lsons to engage In piloting work. The corps of military pilots , It Is expected , would bo recruited almost wholly from those now engaged In the work. The anchoring of vessels would bo some what modified. The commandant of the port may permit vesesls to anchor within range of the fortifications , but under no circum stances would vessels of any description bo allowed to pass within the lines of submarine obstructions. All private vessels and boats of neutral powers would be forbidden to move about the harbor and communication with the shcio could only bo made during the day am' ' In accordance with the rules issued by the commandant of the port. IT WAS A WI.VXKH. Mow a Political DciilVorlctil In WIHIIIIII'H dull , "I expect you had an awful time at the election last night , for I heard that nearly all the girls wanted to bo president , am that thcro was going to bo a ternble light. ' "There wasn't , " exclaimed the president sweetly , "not n bit of trouble , and all the old officers were re-elected , too , You see , : wanted to bo president myself this year , and Alicia Brown wanted to stay In olllcc , too BO wo fixed up a llttlo plan between us , aiu It was a famous success. " "What did you do ? Hurry up and tel me ! " the other girl exhorted her excitedly "How cti earth did you manage it ? " The president smiled happily , relates the Denver Times. "Oh , Alicia and I talked It over before hand , " she eatd , "and jnnt as soon as thn meeting was called to order , and before the girls had got through talking , she made a motion that the oldest girl In the club be made president ulwa > s , uiid Lucilo Hicks seconded it. She wanted to be secretary again , you see. So I put the motion , or the question , or whatever It was , and Alicia and 1/ucilo uald 'Yea' very loud , and all the other girls did the name without understanding what It was all about In the least. My ! bui BOmo of them were mad afterward , though ! ' "What hapnened thpn ? " asked the other girl , "Did they all tell their ages under protest ? " ' "No , indeed , not a bit of It , " remanded the president , emlllng again. "I just knew they wouldn't. When they found out what It meant they wouldn't say a word , SD Alicia got up again and moved that all the old Oolllcers bu elected over ugaln unanimously And every girl In the room shouted 'Yc.i. ' They were glad of any way out of the dlfll- culty. " Sn u vin I rK.

Sixty-seven Nebraska counties have re ported complete returns on the vote cast for supreme Judge last Tuesday. These counties give : Sullivan , 87,422 ; Post. 23,205 ; Sulltvai s plurality , 9,127. In the same counties In 1896 , the vote was : Holcomb , 102,114 ; Mac- Cell , 84,756 , ; Holcomb's plurality , 17,358. In the counties yet to hear from the vote last year for MacColl and Holcomb combined wan 24,268 , and Hoicotnb tad a plurality of 2,409. If the vote In these counties Is the same this year no last , Sullivan's plurality will be 11,036. But the vote of the sixty- seven counties BO far reported shows a falling off of 11.32 per cent from the vote of 1890. Estimating that this will hold good for the rest of the stnte , and that Sullivan will re ceive the name proportion of the vote In the remaining counties as In thajo reported , C2.75 per cent , his total vote will be 98,020 , and that , for Post will be 83,604 , giving Sul livan a plurality of 10.416. It will , thus bo wen that Sullivan's plurality will bo be tween 10,000 and 11,000. The figures are : Totals 78,293 87,422 84,756 102,111 Mnlorlty.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Times , writing from Demlng , New Mexico , saja : Otto Mcrgcnthalcr , the Inventor of the Inotypc , Is here passing the winter and , sad ns the Intelligence Is , perhaps his last daye. Consumption has laid Its hand upon ilm , and I was told by n friend of one of his myslclans ( bit the man of medicine believes ils patient's end Is within the ken of mortal. Jesplto this menace , however , he Is cheerful and does much work ach day. Ho Is conni ng upon giving to the world another Inven- Ion within a year. I called upon htm In hit ; beautiful Demlng ionic on the outskirts' the town. No one n the cast would expect to find such a house equipped with such surroundings away out icrc on the great desert. It Is a large square jrlck structure. Through the center Is a wldo hall largo enough to accommodnlo a billiard table that Is much enjoyed by the friends ho has gathered around him and the members of his family. Wldo porches sur round the big house , and broad lawns , kept green by liberal sprinkling are the play grounds of his children. From this point his ayes may range over n magnificent vista. Looking to the south are the great Trcs Her Manas ( Three Sisters ) mountains , that twcnty-flvo mllca away stand on the border : > f the sister republic , niul lift their heads Into the over blue sky. Nearer and a llttlo to the cast are the Floitdn. mountains , that at a distance remind one of the legends of ancient feudal castles. They are extremely precipitous and their [ leaks are serrated and fashioned to rcsemb'e these turrets from which the tocsin sounded the alarms. Further east are the Organs , and north Is the great Cook's Peak. TUB INVENTOR'S APPEARANCE. When Mrs. Mcrgcnthalcr showed me to her husband's library , the Inventor sat workIng - Ing at some mechanical problem at his desk , lie Is mlo and thinner than when the people ple of the east list saw him , anda } \ cough annoys him frequently. The linotype that machine that Is to newsroper nuking what the telephone and telcgranh are to commer cial life was of course the llrst topic of conversation. Referring to his Invention , he oald he never expects to see any typemaklng device cheap enough to be within reach of the smaller class or countiy papers. "Do you expect to give to the world any new labor-saving device ? " 1 naked him. "No , " he answered slowly , "no , not right awaj , buj. orobably within a year. " "What will it be ? " "I cannot tell you. No one knows what It Is. The world must wait and see. I re member a time , " he continued reflectively , "when I was a boy In the old country , that 1 saw the need of nn Improved "chuck" for lathes. I worked an It diligently , and when I thought I had 'It completed took It to a neighbor , a machinist , and showed it to him. He gave U such a careless glance that It Injured me , and without saying a word reached under his b3iich and brought our Identically the same thing. So , you ace , It Is not best to tell what you Intend to do until you have accomplished It. " Then ho told mo the story of his life. At the age of IS years he arrived In America penniless , and with nothing else but his brief cvjcTlenco In mechanics. He went to Washington , and during the succeeding four years worked on the mechanism of elec tric clocks and bells and signal service ap paratus for the government. In the last named , he made many Improvements and in vented several new ones. At the end ol these four years ho went to Baltimore , where h -thought ho SAW a. wider flold for bis talents. Ho has made that city his home until more than a year ago , when ho came to the south west to seek health. It was in 1870 , soon after he located In the Monumental City , that the history of the linotype begins. From then until 1880 four years he gave his every thought to the creation of his machine. He took lit tle rest. Night and day ho tolled , and gradually put Into his work the gold of his brain and the brawn of his body. Only such men as Morse , Field , Gray , Bell or Edlaon could tell what such toll and application means. Finally , at the end of 'these ' four years of struggle , he had a machine that would , by action uf a keyboard something like a type writer , set a line of key dies or types , jus tify them to 'the exact width of a column or any required measure , and cast It Into a solid line of lead or typo metal , Yet hla work was not done , for after he had ac complished all this and had secured hla patents , another obstacle seemed to balfie him. Men of money discredited his machine oven after they'had ' seen It work. Publlsers said It was Impracticable. They were willing to try his device If he could show that It would do the work of five or six men setting typo from the case , but not until then did they care to take any risks. By consant pleadings , however , ho at last suc ceeded in organizing a company with small capital , which In the next tlneo years was consumed in efforts to place the linotype In the composing room of some dally news paper. TURN OF THE TIDE. With money all gone , the machine turned down , the despair of failure , of neven years of wasted toll of death , almost , was upon him. Moreover , his physical system was shattered and ho passed the next three years in a struggle to live. But day dawned for him at last. In 188G Whltelaw Reid of the Now York Tribune agreed to try a ma chine. It proved a success and ho equipped his office with them. Tlr-n the Louisville Courier Journal , through the foresight of Mr. Halderman. ono of Its owners , took them up , and from that time > fame and a golden reward were his. Slnco 1880 3.COO machines , that rcprcs'iit a value of $10DOO- 000 , have been sold or leased. Ho Is able to enjoy the dry and asccptic atmosphere of this region as ho wills , but a part of his tlmo Is given to tha work of writing a hlntory of the Inception , develop ment and completion of his Invention in connection with some of his personal ex periences. HU four children , the oldest a boy of 14 , and liln wife are with him , and for HID children he lias a tutor. It Is Mr. Mcrgcnthaler'8 Intention to glvo his children all they can rccslvo. Mr , Mergenthalor first came west a year ago last June to benefit hla health and wont to Prescott , A. T. , whodo ho roughed It for four months. Cool temperature caused him to go to Phoenix , where , after n short stay , ho left for El Paso. Whllo there ho seemed to grow weaker and last December cams to Demlng. Ho says the cllmnto there agrees with him belter than any place ho has yet bo.ii. It was In Phoenix that tlio Inventor had his llret mining experience , Shortly after ho arrived there he was tackled by some young men who claimed to have made a great strike In gold proprty , and that they wanted money for development. The ere taken cut for assay showed well his partner EUW to that part of It but In oper ation the mine never cama near paying and that hole In the ground cost him 11,000 , A.
