 WARRINGTON, July 1O.-In accordance with a special order made by Judge Wylie, on Friday last seventeen members of the grand jury assembled ln the criminal court room this morning, for the purpose of considering the evidence to be presented to them in the Star route cases. The District attorney re ported that there were absentees and the marshal was directed to summons a sufficient number of persons to complete the panel, pending which action the jury was dismissed until 12 o'clock. The court then resumed the consideration of the Star route cases, and Mir. Ketchum was recalled in connection with route No. 35, ,O51, from Bismarck to Tongue river, D. T.
 The adjournment of the grand jury until Wednesday has given rise to report of com plications in the method of the Star route prosecutions. It is well known that the names of two Senators and other prominent people were connected with the new evidence. The officials say these names were stumbled on i'll the search for evidence against Brady and the present delay is asked for to avoid the disclosure of Senatorial compIcity just now.
 There is wide difference of opinion as to the probable adjournment. All depends on the length of the internal revenue discussion in the Senate. The chances are that the ses- sion will last into August.
 After August 1st the United States gun { boats Intrepid Minnesota, Alarm and New Hampshire will be ordered out of comm1s- sion.
