Umbrellas
Chicago, Oct. 21. -Refreshing
slumber put the jurors in the Luet
gert case in better spirits and In good
humor. Most of the jurors slept 12
hours. After breakfast Wednesday
there did not seem to be any desire
upon the part of the Jurors to resume
the struggle with ,he problem of the
life or death for Adolph Luetgert.
"I do not believe the jurors will ever
agree," said iiallllT Wolcolt. "They
stand eight for conviction and four
for acquittal."
Subsequent developemcnts Indicated
however, that. the minority In favor
of acquittal had been reduced to one,
while the other 11 jurors were for con
viction of the prisoner.
After being out 40 hours the jury
stoed: For conviction and the death
penalty, 8; for acqultal 4. The min
ority have argued since the beginning
that the corpus delicti was not estab
lished with sufficient directness to
convince them that Mrs. Luetgert is
dead. They contend that they are In
duty bound to give Luetgert the bane
lit of the doubt.
Luetgert was astir early, and, as
usual, ate a hearty breakfast.
"I will be acquitted, I am sure,"
exclaimed Luetgert, smiling. "The
mxt time I am called to the court
room I will leave It a free man. The
s ectest music 1 shall ever hear shall
be that verdict not guilty. It will be
a just verdict, too."
At 10 o'clock the bailiffs ejected all
newspaper men from court, saying
they had been instructed to do so by
the judge. Judge Tuthlll called the
jury Into court at 10:30 and sent for
Luetgert,
State's Attorney Dcnccn gave the
facts of the conference to the Asso
ciated Press.
"Luetgert was sent for;" said
Dcnccn, "and came into the court
room smiling. Then the jury was
brought In. It was apparent -at once
who had been holding the Jury
Judge Tnthill Inquired tf the Jury had
any communication to niarfe. Juror
Harley desired instructions on the
questions of fact, He wanted to
know if it was possible to leayc out
certain evidence altogether, exclude It
entirely and then consider evidence
and make up a verdict from It. Judge
Tuthill said the question was an Im
proper one for him to answer. 'You
have your instructionssaid his honor,
'you will retire to your Jury-room and
roturn to further consideration of the
"That was all that oocurrcd. Juror
Harley Is the man who is holding the
jury. It looks to me as If there would
bcadisagreeuiot.

Indianapolis, Oct. 21. A "quart"

MATTERS
Regular Army Will Main
tain Order.
UNDER THE MILITARY RULES,
Civil Authorities Uuableto Enforce
the Laws.
i
Chicago, Oct 21. A special from
Washington says:
President McKinlcy will Issue an
order placing a large district in
Alaska, of which St. Michaels will bo
the center, under the control of the
government. By this action the au
thorities believe that the lawlessness
feared as a result of the rush of gold
seekers to the great Northwest terri
tory will be suppressed. The proposed
military district will bo about 100
miles square.
The determination to Issue the order
was arrived at, It is said, at a cab
inet meeting. While no official reports
of anything but a peaceful condition
have reached the department, prlvato
communications from responsible par
tics have convinced the authorities
that something more was necessary
than civilian rule. The auttioiitles
say that offenses committed within
the boundaries of the district, to bo
described by the president In his order,
will subject those responsible to the
military, and prosecution by the civil
ian authorities beforo whom they will
be brought.
The department Is making an ex
amination of the geographical condi
tions of the country in the vicinity of
the mouth of the Yukon, to obtain
data that will enable It to prescribe
exactly theboundaoles of the proposed
new reservation. It Is also desirable
to limit the reservation to the small
est dimensions that will tako In St.
Michaels as a center, and yet Include
the estuary of the Yukon, where the
lawless clement might gather If ex
cluded from the town Itself.
There will bo Uttlo excuso for tho
commission of lawless acts based on
starvation within the limits of the
new reservation, for Secretary Alger
has authorized the officer In command
of the troops at St. Michaels not only
to feed miners who may be In uctual
need, but to .ship them out of tho
country It they are unable to pay their
own way.
The war department also proposes
to establish an army post on the
Yukon river, but this will not bo
dono before next spring.
Order Issued.
Washington, Oct. 21, Tho secre
tary of war will Issue uti order creat
ing a military rescrvatson It that part
of Alaska lying wltnln a radius of GO
miles of St. Michael. The purpose Is
to confer upon Lieutenant Colonel
Randall the necessary legal authority
to preserve order and protect property
in tills section of the country.
Doesn't Like Our Tnriff.
Bkulin, Oct. 21. At a meeting of
the Central Association of Gorman
Industrials to elect delegates to Prince
Ilolicnlohc's committee for drafting
new commercial trca led, Ilerr Duck,
who was the chief speaker, denounced
the Dlnglcy tariff as "the most com
plicated, contradictory and uncertain
tariff ever conceived." Ho declared
that it was due to the capitalistic
speculations which are proving fatal
to the Industrial existence of the
United States.
At the same time, Hcrr Buck said
be felt bound to protest against tho
dangers of a customs war. Tho sugar
Industry would suffer thereby, and
Germany would be unable to support
herself If tho United States retaliated
with repressive duties on corn or petroleum.
He did not nntlclpato a long life
for "the era of capitalistic domina
tion In America.
Consuls Must Wait,
Washington, Oct. 21. The presi
dent has determined not to consider
any consular appointments until con
gress meets, owing to the many re
quests that they be held up until they
can see the president, President Mc
Kinley has begun to collect material
for his nnnual message, and Is making
notes from time to time as they occur
to him.
Chicago's Mayor,
Chicago, Oct. 21. Mayor Harrison
will ipeak In New York city on the
evening of October 28 In the Interests
of Judge Van IVyck, tho Tammany
candidate for tiwyor. Nearly cycty
Dcmocratlcpollticlan of prominence
has signified his Intention of accom
panying the mayor on Ills Eastern
trip.
SILVER MONEY MISSED.
Government's Loss May Reach Into the
Thousands.
Wasuinoton, Oct. 21. Silver dol
lars aro missing from the treasury
which may number thousands. Treas
urer Roberts has employed experts to
count piece by piece tho 8100,000,000
which ought to be In the vaults.
Recently the coin was counted by
tho weighing process, but; Roberts
will not give a receipt to Ills predeces
sor, Morgan, until ho knows tho full
extent of tho robbery, which he sus
pects lias been carried on for some
time.
During tlnscount a trusted employe
was caught opening bags which con
tain $1000 In silver, taking out as
many as he wished and making up
the weight -of the extracted silver
with lead. At the conclusion of the
count nil of the bags showed tho re
quired weight.
Upon treasurer's suggestion some
of tho bags were opened, and so much
lead was discovered that a consulta
tion was held and It was decided to
employ a force of 50 clerks to go over
the counting In detail. This task will
consume six months and will cost the
government $25,000.
Don't Want Silver.
London, Oct. 21. Lord Salisbury
last night sent to Ambassador Hay
tho reply of the British government to
tho proposalof the American bime
tallic commission, headed by Senator
Wolcott.
It is a diplomatically-worded note.
His lordship says the government is
not ablo to re-open tho Indian mints
at present. Wo regrets tho inability
to accede to the proposals of the
American commission. Great Brltlan
has as great an Interest as tho United
States and France in securing a stablo
par exchango for gold and silver, and
an enlarged use of silver.
In theso circumstances, continues
Lord Salisbury, tho British govern
ment docs not see tho dcslrublllty of
an international monetary conference,
but will bo pleased to consider any
other practical suggestion from the
United States.
Lord Salisbury enclosed with tho
note a copy of the statement of Sir J.
Westland, hcud of tho financial de
partment of India, which was under
discussion at tho meeting of the cab
inet council last Saturday, and which
takes strong grounds against tho re
opening of the Indian mints..
Senator Wolcott was not In Lon
don last evening.
Ambassador Andrew White came
from Berlin last Saturday. Ho has
avoided publicity, but has had uovcrul
conferences with Senator t Wolcott.
In tho course of an Intcrvlow with
the correspondent of the Associated
Press, Mr. Whlto said that Germany's
action as to bimetallism will depend
upon England.
A Frost for Weyler.
Havana, via Key West, Oct. 21. A

from Madrid says that the govern
ment baa cabled to General Weyler,

tion on the day of his departure for

Reports of a Crises in Rus
sia
THE PREMIER'S OVERTHROW.
A General Social Upheaval Not Improbable.
Seriously 111.
Chief of Pollco A. 0. Dllloy was
taken seriously HI this morning and,
for a brief time, Ills recovory was de
spaired or but his many friends In this
city and vicinity will bo pleased to
learn the illness was not attended
by serious results. For several weeks
Chief Dllloy has been troubled with
sciatica rheumatism from which ho
has suffered considerable.
His feet and lower limbs are af
fected making Itquitedlfllcult for him
to be about and attend to matters
that assign themselves to iilm for
disposition In Ills olllclul capacity.
This morning Mr. Dllloy was taking
his daily "hot-water" bath unat
tended, prepratory to the application
of an electric battery, when ho was
seized with cramps in the region of
tho abdomen. Ills cries attructcd City
Recorder Ed N. Edes and Fire Chief
O. J). Ilutton who happened In tho
building. They rushed Into tho
Chief's appartuients and round tho
city maruliall In great agony, A phy
sician was promptly summoned and
after working for an hour succeeded
In alleviating the pain. Mr. Dilley
soon recovered from the sudden at
tack but was quite III during the re
mainder of tho forenoon,
In Justice Court,

who charges him wltn tho larceny of

Newt. Morris was today placed under
bonds by Justlco II. A. Johnson to
keep the peace. Morris Is said to have
threatened tojshoot a man.
Will Lkavk Salkm. Rev. Win.
Steele, of thlsclty. hat accented the
pastorate of the First Presbytcrean
church of Goldeadale, Wn. Tho rov
crand gentleman, accompanied by his
family, will leave Salem next week
for Ills new field of labor. He ex
pects to begin his pastorate with tho
Goldcndale church on the first Sab
bath in November. Rey. Stoelo very
acceptably filled the pulpit of the
local Presbyterean cliuroh for a year.
Rev. Steele Is a thoroughly practical
minister and a good nulplt orator.
Ills many friends in this city wish
him abundant success In his now Held
of labor.
Vienna, Oct 21. Tho unterhaus
was called to ordor at 10 o'clock and It
Is believed that If the members of the
left contlnuo their efforts to obstruct
legislation, Count Badcnl will re
sign, In which even a now ministry
will be formed. Tho riotous proceed
ing of yesterday's session aro virtually
a continuance of tho hostllo demon
strations which marked the opening of
the rclchsrath on September 23.
Theso demonstrations, as wcro tho
former ones, aro directed against the
cabinet, and grew out of Illfccllng be
tween the German Bohemians and
tho young Czechs.
On tho reassembling of tho rlchs
rath, last month, a scries of motions
wns ordered aiming at tho impcach
mcjt of ministers. The German pop
ular party wants Count Badcm, the
premier, Impeached because of tho
conduct of the representatives of tho
government at public meetings. The
German opposition, headed by Ilerr
Schoucrer, demand his impeachment
for prohibiting a melting of German
Bohemians, and they call for the im
peachment of Count Glelspach, mlnls
terof Jurtlce; Dr. Blllnskl, minister
of finance, and Baron Glanz d'Ellcha,
minister of commerce, for an alleged
violation of their ministerial oaths
by the Issuance of a decrco authoriz
ing tho ofllcial uso of the Czech lan
guage in Bohemia.
Count Badenl won his reputation
for statccraftasstadthaltcrot Gallcla.
With an iron hand ho put an end to
tho local disputes of tho Ruthcnas
and the Poles of that province, and
suppressed their joint Intrigues
ngainst Austria. Ileislin the confi
dence of Emperor Francis Joseph,
and when ho formed a ministry in Sep
tember, 1805, to succeed tho stop-gap
Xlelmanscff cabinet, which had a
short life, after tho fall of tho Wln-dlsch-Gratz
cabinet he told tho rclchs
rath that ho Intended to lead and
not allow himself to bo led.
It Is evident that In spite of the
premier's cllort to mako a permanent
settlement between tho Germans and
Czechs he Is not much nearer success
than ho was last March.
Crisis InServia.
London, Oct. 21. The London
papers dealing with tho crisis at, Bel
grade, yarlously attributo it to tho

Trust Would Bo Qainer.
London, Oct. 21. A dispatch to
tho Telegraph from Johannesburg, re
ferring to tho subcommittees of tho
volksraad, commending a reduction of
duty to tho amount of 10 shillings per
case of dynamite, and targe reductions
,ln tho railroad tariff on mining re
qlremcnts, says that experts do not
believe theso concessions would lead
to the rconcnlng of a single mine on
tho Rand, for tho recommendation, if
carried out, would virtually leave tho
dynamlto monoply intact.
"Tho whole tonoof the report,"
says tho correspondent, "tends to
whitewash tho government and to
shield the monopolists."
