CARL SCHURZ.
What the Liberal Ex-senator Says
OF the President and His.
Message.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The Tribune this
morning publishes lengthy interview
with Carl Schurz, who is now in this
city. The Ex-senator denies the state.
ment that he had eAdeavored TO connect
the President with the whisky frauds
He does not believe the President is inn
plicated in any way, but men enjoying
his confidence are involved. and the
President seems determined not 10 with.

He indorsed the Presidents views on
the school question and the influence OF
the Catholic Church, and believed that
the best thing that the Democrats and
Republicans in Congress could do would
be to unite in accepting Blaine's Consti-
tutional amendment and submit it to the
Legislatures. He did not think the
school question should be made an Is.
sue in a National campaign. He does
not believe the President can get third
term, and if the managing politicians
have any acuteness he will not even get
the nomination. He does not think the
Cuban question will lead to war.
The Ex-senator denies that he has
taken up his residence permanently in

THE EGNER VERDICT.
MuRpER IN THE SECOND DEGREE


just as the clock struck twelve today
the jury in the Egner case announced to
the court that they were ready with
their verdict, and as the door of the jurys
room opened, the crowd almost obstrucp
ed the passage into the courtroom,
which was already so swarmed with
curiosity-seekers, regular court loungers,
and idlers of every description, that
pure air was selling at premium.
The Sheriff finally succeeded in usher
ing the twelve to their accustomed seats,
looking much the worse for the terrible
brain cudgeling that they had been adj
ministering to themselves since Satur-
day last. Poor brains, how they musJ
have suffered, judging by the verdict.
Egner, who had been waiting anxlously
since an early hour this morning, b9-
came yisibly agitated, his color changing
almost TO a deathly whiteness as the
foreman arose to announce the verdict,
| s'murder in the second degree"
There was an audible murmur Of dis
satisfaction that was almost universal
among the spectators, not because they
had been disappointed in their anticipa-
tions of tirSt-class hanging, but bcS
cause they telt that Egner had been the
ruling spirit and prime instigator OF the
horrible murder, and that unless hang
ing, as they say, is absolutely ''played
OUT" he should have had taste, OF it;
but add to this the announcement made
by the defendants counsel almost imme-
diately after the return OF the verdict.
that they would enter q motion for u
new trial, and then almost any one
could sympathize with that crowd. The
jury was finally dismissed, and Egner
conducted to his old cell in the County
Jail, evidently very much relieved in
mind and body.
| During almost the entire afternoon
parties have been crowding into the
Courtroom, the one question being,
l"What's the Verdict" and then growI
or ominous shaking Of the head, scarce
ly any one showing any other tnan dis.
| satisfaction. Rumor says that on the
first ballot the jury stood nine for ac-
quittal and three for murder in the,first
degree; finally compromise was agreed
upon aud murder in the second degree
given as the most satisfactory to tho
twelve. The Court will probably sem
tence Egner on Saturday.

Who will Help Prosecute the Whisky Ring?

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-V arious state
ments have been made as to the purpose
of calling the House Democratic caucus
to meet to-day. 1t is believed that more
Importance has been given to this than

1t may be that some Of the members
will feel called upon TO present political
propositions, but if such are handed in
the disposition will be to lay them ON the
table for the present. OF course it is
impossible to say with certainty that po-
litical discussion can be prevented, but
the hopes of those who are known as
leaders among the Democrats are In that
direction. The principal thing that is
proposed to be done is to provide for the
appointment of a committee with power
to call meetings Of the caucus in the fl-
ture and to present subjects for consid-
