Verdict Is Bxpcctcd Until Todny.
Chlc.-go, Oct. 13. Another night of
siispenc is ahead of the defendant in
tlio Luetgert case. At 9 o'clock tonight
(he jury had none In l d on aots which
were ulnced in the court room, and It
was announced liy Judge Tuthill that,
even though hj one chance in a million
tile jurats should wake up and ngreo
upon a verdict, tliero would be no an
nouncement, and the court room would
under no circumstances he opened un
til 10 o'clock tomorrow morning'.
A few minutes after S o'clock Judge
Tuthill uupear-d at the criminal court
building and being admitted nlono
paused quickly up stairs, giving posi
tive orders that nobody should be ad
mitted to tli.' building under any cir
cumstances. Within a few minutes af
ter lie had Issued these Instructions,
Attorney I'halcn, the junior counsel for
the defense, put In an appearance and
wanted admission, He was promptly
refused, and it took all of his powers of
peivuaslon and argument to get past
the guard t the door.
Judge Tuthill went directly to the
court room where he was told by. the
bailiffs In charge cf the jury that sev
eral of the Jurymen were almost ex
hausted by the ordeal to which they
bad been subjected during the last thir
ty hours, and that if they were not
allowed some rest It would certainly
result In some of them becoming III.
The Jury nlso sent word that there was
no Immediate prospect of nn agree
ment, and under the circumstances the
ludgo gave orders that they be permit
ted to drop the case and go to sleep.
The cots were quickly dragged into the
court room, and within a few minutes
every juror was stretched out at full
length and ay consideration of the case
wns oft until they should wake In the
morning. Judge Tuthill after ghlng
directions that all things possible
O'ould bt done for the comfort of the
Jury left the building for his home.
NO PBOSPF.CT OF VF.BDICT.
'They have not agreed as yet." ho
said when he left the court house, "and
when I became convinced that there
was little prospect of their doing so,
and saw how weary some of them
were. J told them to go to sleep and
try to agree In the morning-."
The long day wore slowly away with
nothing to relieve Its monotony save
the request of the jury for the map of
Luetgert's factory and surrounding,
which has hung in the court room since
the trial began. It was believed at
first that some point In reference to
the vicinity was under discussion, but
later Information developed the fact
that the jury In order to circumvent
the efforts of a crowd of reporters who
from an adjoining building were .sur
veying them with telescopes.had placed
the map across the window, shutting
out nil views of the loom.
At C o'clock the twelve men had been
out twenty-four hours. Two letters
offering bribes to the foreman If the
Jury In the Luetgert case have been
received by Judge Tuthill. and are now
in possession of the state's attorney.
The amount ottered is $1,600. Both let
ters are signed George Atrill. State's
Attorney Deneen Is not disposed to re
gaid the attempted bribery seriously,
but Inspector Schaaek and Assistant
State's Attorney McFwen look upon
the matter with suspicion. The first
letter was received last Monday morn;
lng. It was dated Oct. 10, the day up
on which it was originally believed the
case would go to the Jury. It reads:
.Mr Foreman: Dear Sir A powertul In.
fliieiicc Is at work to save Adolph L. Luet
gert. Money Is ccarce, and In these hard
times a $101 or so comes In humly. 1 have
$1,000 to dlvldo a mong you twelve men.
If you want It, hae two good men,
cmnoth faced, that are discreet, at the
southeast corner of Randolph and U.-ai"
born streets tomorrow at 1 o'clock p. in.
Let tliem wear wllte linen neckties or If
they prefer It. rod liow ties. Kverythlng
will be all right. The money Is secure In a
Clnik street bank.
(Signed) fleorge Atrill.
The second letter Is under date of
Oct. 18, nnd Is also addressed to the
foreman of the Luetgert Jury. It is
as follows:
Dear Sir: Why didn't you have th
young men at the routlitast corner of
4ittmiiuiMi Him j.jvuru(irn streets, as sug
gcatcd? In the pretent time, $lo Is pro
ty useful. If you will agree to vote Luet
gert free, wo can yet arrange matte.x.
Send tho young men tomorrow.
(Signed) George Atrill.
Judge Tuthill opens all mall sent to
the Jurors, and In this way these let
ters fell Into his hands. HIh honor Is
Inclined to regard the letters as a hoax,
as Is also Mr. Deneen. In fact the
state's attorney thinks the letters were
gotten up by enterprising newspaper
reporters.
At 1.S0 o'clock this afternoon State's
Attorney Deneen informed the Asso
ciated Press that the latest and best
Information he had on the attitude of
the Jury was that eight stood for con
viction nnd tho infliction of the death
penalty and that, four were holding
out rnr acquittal.
Several o'f the "jurors were o over- "nTdronk TZrtl XVl. h',,lfy

they could scarcely keep their eyes
open during the morning.
State's Attorney Donecn said lnte
this afternoon that a verdict might
be reached by the Jury this evening,
but he did not expect a return until
tomorrow.
Just before retiring for the night the
Jury took another ballot, the vote
standing nine for conviction and three
for acquittal.
CAVENDISH SAFE IN LONDON.
HM Expedition to Komulilnnd Mot No
Hostile Demonstration.
London, Oct. 19. Cavendish, the
nephew of the Duke of Devonshire!
who, with Lieutenant Andrew, lins
been exploring Somnllland, Fast Af
rica, at the head of an expedition com
posed of ninety Ascarls, and who with
Ills party was reported to have been
massacred by the natives, has arrived
safely in London from Zanzibar, via.
Klkuyu, which place the expedition
reached on Aug. 5 last. The explorer
had a remarkable Journey, lasting less
than a year, during which he traversed
much of the unexplored country be
tween Horbera and Mombasa, He and
his only European companion, Lieu
tenant Andrew, were everywhere1 re
ceived with cordiality. Even the Bor
anls, who were so hostile to the expe
dition commanded by Dr. Donaldson
Smith, of Philadelphia, freely supplied
them with cattle and provisions. At
many of the villages Cavendish found
men and women with mutilations re
sulting from the ferocity of the war
riors of King Menellk, of Abyssinia,
and the expedition was frequently
begged to remain in the country and do
fend Uh inhabitants against the in
vaders. LADY TATT0N SYKES ACCUSED.
A Charge of Forgery Dismissed In n
London Police Court.
ondon. Oct. 19. Lady Tatton Sykes,
wife of the famous Yorkshire sporting
Baronet, was charged before the magis
trate presiding today at the GulldhaU,.
with forging her husband's name to a
bill of exchange for 1,000 ($3,000) In
connection with a stock transaction.
The magistrate dismissed the case and
in so do'ng said It seemed to him that
the court had ben used for an improp
er purpose, intimating that the charge,
which was not wholly unsupported by
evidence, had been brought in ordir to
damage the reputation of the defend
ant. Lady Tut ton Sykes, who Is a daugh
ter of the late Right Hon. George Afl
gUHtus Cuvondlsh-Bentlnck, and a rela
tive of the Duke of Portland, has re
cently been through home remarkable
experiences. On Aug. L', last, she was
charged with obtaining by false pre
tences, checks of the alue of $20,500,
and with converting to her own use
20i shares of stock: but, the summons
was withdrawn, the pio.secutlen say
ing that explanations had been made,
and that Sir Tatton Sykes was pre
pared t m et all the liabilities of his
wife. In explanation, It was said, that
the ' misunderstanding" was occasion
ed by the fact that her broker had not
kept her acquainted with her exact po
sition In regard to certain stock trans-'
actions. Previous to this, In December.
lS.'i;, Sir Teuton Sykes advertised that
he would not be responsible for li'ls
wife's debts. This grew out of the fact
that she had commissioned Lord Mar
cus Heresford to inn chase the famous
mare, La Fleeche. at the sale of Baron
lllivch's stud, Jn July of that jvar,
and Lord Beresford secured the horse,
for the sum of $9.4.".".. Sir Tatton, af
ter at first refusing to iay lor the
mare, relented and helped his wife
out of the difficulty.

CALL ISSUED FOR
LABOR CONVENTION
Seventeenth Annual Gathering of the
American Federation.
BY ORDER OF PRESIDENT G0MPERS
Meeting to Itn Held at Nashville on
December IIL-Strong Pica lor a
Full Attendance -. Tlio Judicial
Weapon of Injunction Is to lie Dis
cussed, as Well a Other Matters
oT Importance.
Washington, Oct. 13. President Sam
uel Oomners, by Frank Morrison, sec
retary, has Issued n call to all nlhilat
ed unions for the seventeenth annual
convention of the American Federation
of Labor to bo held at Nashville, Tenn.,
In the hall of the house of representa
tives at 10 o'clock Monday morning,
Dec. IP. next. The session Is to continue
until all the business of the convention
shall have been completed. Resolu
tions of nny character or propositions
for chnnges In the constitution intend
ed for consideration by the convention
must be submitted to the secretary at
least two weeks prior to the meeting.
The committee on credentials will meet
nt Nashville three days previous to the
opening of the convention. The call
makes a strong plea for a full attend
ance of worklngmen at the convention
and states that no convention In recent
years has been called upon to deal with
more momentuous questions than con
front the workers of today. Owing to
the distance the expense of attendance
may bo somewhat greater than usual,
nnd owing to the severe drains that af
filiated organizations have sustained In
recent years there may be a desire to
husband resources and refrain from
being present, but this Is said to be
mistaken economy and organizations
aie earnestly warned against It. The
objects of the convention are, In part,
thus set out in the call:
"The severities of the industrial stag
nation of the past four years have not
yet been abated: the wrongs from
which the workers stitfer have not been
righttd; the Injustice imposed upon our
people remains unremedied; the over
worked largo mass and the unemploy
ed many are still testimony to the fol
ly of our age; the employment of chil
dren In our factories and workshops,
lough modified, lingers with us still
and the spectacle N witnessed of Idle
men and laboriously busy children;
leglslaturesaronioreconcorned with the
privileges to the few than the rights of
the many; with public assemblage and
free speech invaded, threatened or for
bidden, and tlio modern Judicial weap
on of injunction ntills-ed with the effort
to crush labor. These rights and
wrMigs and others of equal Importance,
but too numerous for reference here,
must of necessity, be considered by the
forthcoming convention, and such ac
tion devised as shall tend to attain the
one and set aside the other."
CABINET MEETING.
Sesslou Devoted to the Discussion ol'
Civil Service.
Washington. Oct. 19. The cabinet to
day devoted considerable time to a dls
cuslon of the civil service and how to
obtain the best results from the recent
order promulgated by the president. A
decision was reached that each depart
ment should prepare and adopt regula
tions to meet the lequlrements of the
order. While each department will for
mulate Its own regulations, there was
a general sentiment that It would be
well to have them along the general
lines of the regulations Issued by the
treasury depaitment to cairy out the
president's order.
Secretary Gage, It will be lemein.
bered, permitted persons against whom
charges were made to have a healing
and an opportunity to answer then
Routine matters of the departments
occupied all the remainder of the cabi
net meeting, which lasted about two
hours.

New York, Oct. 19. "Drink, drink,
and you will be the most famous man
at White Sulphur Springs!" cried the
handsome Bettlna Ordwny four years

LOOKING P0R FOOTPAD'S CORPSE.
A Would-IJc Victim Shot and Be
lieves lio Killed the Man.
Barnegat, N. J Oct. 19. Vigorous
search is being made in the vicinity of
Wnretown for a wounded footpad or
Ills corpse. George De Witt, who drives
a wagon for nn Asliury Park confec
tioner, drove wildly into the village last
Friday night and sent telegrams to
Sheriff Jeffrey and Prosecutor Brown
to surrender to Justice. De Witt was
all excitement, and said that he had
been attacked on the road by two foot
pads, who demanded Ills money. While
one held his horse's head the other en
deavored to climb Into his wagon. De
Wltt says that putting a hand Into his
pocket as It to give up his money, he
pulled a revolver instead, and llred
directly Into the face of the fellow who
w-ns climbing in the wagon. The mnn
fell back, the horse leaped forward nnd
Do Witt drove rapidly Into town.
The sheriff and prosecutor hastened
down on a late train, and searching
parties went out. They found no signs
of bloodshed nor any dead man, and it
was concluded that De Witt had been
dreaming. Yesterday, however, there
was discovered In a part of the road
remote from the scene as laid by tho
scared driver, unmistakable evidence
that somebody had been hurt. Blood
was found In the bushes, and a bloody
handkerchief was picked up and a spot
wus found where either a body had
been dragged or some one had crawled
through the underbrush.
THE CATHOLIC HIERARCHY.
Xotnblo Assemblage ol Prominent
Church Dignitaries in ashingtou.
Washington, Oct. 19. The meeting
of Cnthollc archbishops to consider
questions of policy and administration
of tho church In America, and of the
directors of the Catholic university to
pass upon the affairs of that Institu
tion, has biought together a notable
assemblage of Catholic dignitaries. All
of the prominent llgures of the church
are represented. Including Cardinal
Gibbons, Aichblshop Martinelll, tho
papal deleirate. Aichblshnn rwricm.i
of New York; Archbishop Ireland, of
nt. raut; Arehblshou Ryan, of Phila
delphia; Archbishop Williams, of Bos
ton; Archbishop Chapelle, of Santa Fe;
Archbishop Keane, tho American rep
resentative at Rome; Archbishop Rlor
dnn, of San Francisco; Bishop Farley,
of New Yoik; Bishop Woley, of Detroit;
lllshop Horstmann, of Cleveland;
Bishop Maes, of Covington; Bishop
Hoban, of Scianton.
The meeting of the dltectors of the
university begins at 10 o'clock tomor
row morning. The directorate is made
up of the cardinal and most of the
archbishops, with five bishops and
three lay members. Fnusunl Interest
has been attached to the meeting,
owing to reports that charges would
be preferred against Monslgnor Schroe
der, who occupies the chair of dog
matic theology In the university, with
a vi-w to his removal. These reports
were a prevailing toplo of comment
among the churchmen today, but there
was the greatest reticence in discuss
ing the subject for publication. The
olllcers of the university declined to .ay
anything on the subject. It U gener
ally understood, however, that the
status of Monslgnor Sehroeder will be
brought before the board. He bus
been a conspicuous member of the fac
ulty owing In part to his identification
with the German membership of the
church and his efforts to establish a
chair of Germanic languages toward
which many German societies have
contributed.
It developed In the cou.se of the dis
cussion of the subject today that Mon
slgnor Sehroeder has received assur
ances from Rome which, In the opin
ion of his friends, will be decisive In
putting an end to any movement to
ward his ieinov.il. it was .stated bv
those conversant with the controversv
that this assurance was In the form of
a. letter from the pope, In substance
stntlng that Monslgnor Sehroeder must
not be disturbed In his piesent field of
woik.
The initial feature of the gathering
of churchmen occurred nt the univer
sity chapel this afternoon, when Dr.
Conaty, rector of the university, was
Invested with the title and dignity of
a monslgnor. Cardinal Gibbons per
formed the ceremony of investure and
Archbishop Keane made the address.

Colonel Johnston, who was Interview
ed by a reporter, said: "I left Santiago
le Cuba the latter part of September.
Our mission has been to buy supplies
fur the department of the east. Owing
to quarantine we could do nothing at
Key West and came to St. Louis. We
have accomplished our mission here
ard now go back to use it. AVe have
sixty thousand men under arms in
Cuba, and virtually the whole Island,
except Havana, Matanzas und Clen

Havana by means of dynamite, but we
would have to notify tho foreign con
suls, who of course, would notify the
enemy, else we phould blow up our
friends."

"At a meeting of representatives of
the whole army of the Fast and of the
West as late as Oct 1 at Holquln, ut
which I was present, and which ban
not yet been mentioned In the papers,
It was reiterated .that Cuba would ac
cept nothing but absolute freedom. It
is a waste of time for the Fnlted States
to deal with Spain relative to granting
autonomy, or anything else short of
absolute freedom. AVhat we want of
the United States is the granting ot

Belgrade. Oct. 1!). King Alexander of
Servla, accompanied by his father, ex
King Milan, has arrived here. This Is
the first visit of ex-King Milan to the
Servian capital since his abdication, in
lSSii, and it Is repotted that trouble Is
likely to result from It. as the premier
is said to have declared he would re
sign It the former king returned.
The cabinet has resigned, and it Is
supposed the action Is connected with
the return of ex-King Milan.
The return of ex-King Mllnn to Bel
glade may be partly due to the fact
that the profligate monarch has re

Views ol' Hip Situation lroin Var
ious .Standpoints.
New Yoik. Oct. 19. -Blchard Croker
spent a half hour at Tammany Hall
today. Ills views were asked on tho
"Ubjeel of disciplining certain of the
Democratic leaders In Kings county,
who have threatened to cut Van Wvck.
Mr. Croker advised against action.
' What's the us of interfering?" he
said, 'if they are angry, that would
make tlmm angrier f till."
Speaking of some Taminanyltes who
had gone over to the Citizens' union,
lie ald: "It's a singular fact that
men who are kicked out of Tammany
all become reformers."
Mr. Croker spoke highly of the voluo
of newspaper publicity. He comment
ed upon the fact that more respect wan
shown to utterances In print thnn tho
most impassioned address of any
speaker.
Air. Cruiser thought It a mistake to
bring speakers from outside or New
York to tell voters hare what they
ought to do lu a municipal campaign.
Henry George was again In a remin
iscent mood today. It grew out of an
allusion to the question of veracity
which has arisen between him und ex
Coniptroiler Ivlns over the mayoralty
campaign of 18SC, and related to the
part taken In tint canvass by the Bev.
Dr. Kdwnrd McGlynn, which' resulted
in Dr. McGlynn's suspension from tho
priestly office. Mr. George said that ho
went to Archbishop Conigan to plead
for Dr. McGlynn.
"The archbishop was very Impatient,"
h said, "and would not listen to my
xplanatlon which ' tried to make clear
was not In any way antagonistic to the
Catholics or tho doctrines of the Cath
olic ehuich. He wnuld not listen. You
know how these people are. Tammany
ran the Archeplscopal college at that
time."
ALLEN TMFBMAN'S LKTT12B.
Allen W. Thiirmnn, son of the late
Senator G. Thurnian, has written a
letter to Henry George, which sincerely
wishes George success. Mr. Thurman
was formerly chatiman of the Ohio
state Democratic committee. Colonel
Henry L. Swords, sergeant-at-arms to
the Republican national committee,
visited Wull street today and offered
to bet any part of J2.".000 at even money
that General Tracy will poll more votes
than Setli Low, In the mayoralty con
test. He .succeeded lu placing about
$.'1,000 of It among members of the stock
exchange and half as much more with
several of the brokers on the "curb."
The colonel announced his Intention to
visit, the bulls and beam again tomor-
low.
"This Is only a. small' part of the
Tracy money lying around loose," said
the colonel, "the only trouble Is wo
can't find any Low money to put it up
against."
Van Wyck still leads In the betting
on the stock exchange. Odds ure good
un two to one that he will win out.
Hx-Congressman John Qulnn, In a
letter which was today made public
at Tannnnny Hall, said: "I was de
lighted wllh a declaration made to mo
by ex-Mayor Grace to the effect thus
h was heart and soul In favor of th.
Democratic ticket and working for Its
success. 1 had a long conversation
with him, and found him very enthu
siastic. He said lie was a Democrat,
and, as such, he would do all In his
power to defeat the unscrupulous gang
that now control us. He will soon give
out his views for publication, nnd I
await the same with great Interest."
