The Jury in the case of James Wilcor, who has been on trial here for the murder of Miss Nellie Cropsey, his former sweetheart, Saturday night brought in a verdict of murder In the first degree. lie was then sentenced to be hanged on April 25. The deliberations of the Jury con tinued for 30 hours, and the proceed ings on Saturday were marked by an application to the court for further In formation. These gave rise to reports that the trial had resulted In a dis agreement One nrmor had that the jury stood eight toe conviction and four for acquittal, while a later report made the number ten for conviction. The verdict seems to have met pop ular approval, though It waa not con sidered probable that the jury would to report Lawyer Aydlett fur the de fense will enter an appeal en behalf of the prisoner. He will seek to set aside the verdict om the ground that it was not consistent with the evidence brought out in the trial. There is lit tle prospect of the prisoner's paying the death penalty on the date set by Judge Jones.

Miles yesterday told tho senate committee oa military affairs that if the biU introduced by Senator Hawlcy, at the instance of the war department, for the organisation of a general staff for the army, should be come a law he would decline to longer hold his commission. The reason he gave for the statement is that the bill Is utterly subversive of the interests of the military establishment, and he said he would not be a party to such a proceeding to the extent even of con tinuing to hold his place. This declaration was made la tho course of a prolonged hearing by the committee, which was conducted be hind closed doors, and In which Gen eral Miles touched upon a variety of subjects connected with tho army. The portion of the bill to which he directed his special criticism is that contained in section 7, reading as fol lows: "That from and after the passage of this act the senior general officer of the army shall be assigned to com mand such portion of tho army as tho president may direct, or bo detailed to duty In the general staff corps. All duties prescribed by law for tho com manding general of the army shall be performed by the chief of general staff or other general officer desig nated by the secretary of war: Pro vided, That so long as the present lieu tenant general of the army continues on the active list he shall be the chief of the general staff, and upon the sep aration from active service of tho said lieutenant general of the army, said office, except as herein provided, shall cease and determine." Oeneral Miles said that If this pro vision should become a law It would have the effect of destroying tho unity of the army, and he read numerous au thorities. Including Napoleon, Welling ton, Washington, Casa and Grant, to show the necessity of having one head to the army and of controlling au thority. In the course of his remarks Gen eral Miles told the committee In con fidence that with the bill a law he could now name the men who would hold the places of honor provided un ler It, but the committee did not ask for the names. MILES WILL B RETIRED President Roosevelt Will Take' Action 8hortly to This End. Washington, March 22. At the cab inet meeting yesterday tho publica tions relating to the statements made by General Miles before the senate committee on Thursday were brought up, but consideration of tbem was postponed until all the fscts in the matter became known. Whatever Intentions the president had with respect to the treatment to be accorded General Miles, his future action will be somewhat influenced by the fact that General Miles' statement before the senate committee has been represented to him as being privi leged. The president proposes to read the testimony given at the hearing and t consult with different members of the committee on military affairs be fore finally announcing what bo pro poses to do. It is significant that long after the cabinet meeting adjourned Secretary Root and the attorney gen eral were closeted with the president The president is known to have stated that he was tired of the friction In the army, and in the event that it fe decided that General Miles' state ment was a privileged one, he will at no distant day take action looking; to bis retirement The lieutenant general reached tha age of 62 years last August, and under' (he law he can be retired at any tlsw sow In the discretion of the presfr dent.

OERS DISCUSSED PEACE TERMS urghera Will Not Accept Anything Lose Than Complete Amnesty For Cape, Insurgents May Compromise Demands For Entire Independence. London, March 25. It is declared oa seemingly good authority that Lord Kitchener, in his interview with Mr. Schalkburger, tho acting president of the Doers, agreed to withdraw the banishment proclamation issued la September if General Do Wet and other Boer leaders surrendered. In the house of commons yesterdsy the war secretary. Mr. Broderlck, an nounced that a fortnight ago Mr. Schalkburger Intimated to Lord Kitch ener his desire to be granted a cafe conduct through tho British lines and ! back, In order to aee Mr. Steyn with reference to the possibility of peace proposals. Lord Kitchener, with the consent of the government, had ac ceded to the request. The announce ment of the war secretary was greeted with cheers. In a dispatch from Pretoria, made public last night. Lord Kitchener gives his usual weekly total of captures, but does not mention the Schalkburger In cident The Daily Chronicle this morning asserts that an armistice has been ar ranged pending the duration of Mr. Schalkburger's mission to Genersl Do Wet, and that offensive operations against De Wet, Delarey and Botha will be suspended. The three genersls hsve agreed to observe the armistice honorably until the return of the en voys to the Boer lines. Amsterdam, March 25. It Is be lieved in Boer circles here thst the move of Acting President Schalk burger is the result of a communica tion from the Boer representatives In Europe. A former member of the Transvaal government said last night: "After the exchange of the Dutch English notes a conference was called for February. This conference was attended by Mr. Kroger, Dr. Leyds and the delegates and it was decided to send six emissaries to South Africa by different routes, with dispatches for Steyn and Schalkburger, giving tbem a detailed account of the situa tion. Documents lately received from Schalkburger Indicated that ' peace terms had been recently discussed by the leaders in South Africa, but the leaders declared they would not accept anything less than the terms demand ed at Meddelburg by General Botha, February 28, 1901, and especially the point of complete amnesty for Cape rebels, because the greater part of the commandoes actually In arms are composed of Cape Insurgents. "The fact that the Boers in the field aro Inclined to compromise their de mands for absolute independence," continued the speaker, "seems to be Indicated by the plan Schalkburger has outlined for the government of In dustrial centres. This consists of a British board of administration, with proportional Boer representation." M SPBI ujjii nun a? FOR nnnn HUNTING STABLE BURNED 8lxteen Valuable Horses Perished.
