Sen'' huolueE VINO hau pronounced
Minor guilty, found his partner Vale inno-
cent, john II, Mccarthy, one Of the jury
jority Of the jurors were not by any means
satiiied with the verdict. lie aud eight
other jurors voted from
FIRST To LAST To CONVICT
those oil the defendants ON whom the Jury
disagreed. There was, he says, but little
change in the ballots from first to last.
Those Jurors who favored the conviction of
all the defendants excepting Turner, were
convinced of their guilt and would not
change their votes, because they had con
sldered the case well before arriving at
this conclusion, and those who voted for
acquitted used the most subtle argu.
ments in support Of their decision, and
would not yield
Foreman Dickson to-day made public
another more detailed and circumstantlal
account Of the attempt of the bribery of
himself and tho other members of the Jury,
and he says that on August I'D he was
approached by Henry a. Bowen with an
offer oi $50 600 to secure the
CONVICTION oF BRADY AND DORSEY,
ana Bowen produced II commission ap-
pointing him special agent of the DEPART
ment of justice, and endeavored to bring
about an Interview between Dickson and
Attorney'General Brewster. On a second
occasion when Bowen sought Dickson, he
was accompanied by Brewster Cameron,
another special agent Of the department OF
]ustce; Dickson gave in detail the reasons
winch led the department of justice to seek
conviction in this manner, the principal
one being that il had become poliH-
cal necessity. Dickson says he did
not believe these men were acting
under authority or could have paid the
amounts offered but he takes pains to set
out IN manner which partakes much
more OF argument than statement of fact,
the reasons why Bowen and Cameron prob.
ably We're inspired by the government oili-
GERS. His statement aims at iustiiying
himself and his three companions who
voted TO secure disagreement as to Brady,
Na,ie a I'd the two Dorseys. In doing this
he has made
VIOLENT ATTACK
Upon the prosecution, its methods and
agents everybody but Judge Wylic, and an
elaborate defense Of himself and his col
leagues, Brown, Holmead and Martin, in
which he takes high moral ground and
still more elaborate argument against the
conVichon ofthe defendants. Dickson re-
cognizes the apparent inconsistency of con-
vicung the two mon of least consequence
and disagreeing on the others, but he iusti-
mes the two convictions by proyinglrom the
evidence that Minor and Reredell were the
tools OF ring contractors. Dickson says he
will TO morrow file his statement with this
district attorney and asks for immediate
action on II.
The department of agriculture furnishes
the following additional summary of its re-
port Tor September; The result Of the
spring wheat harvest is in close accordance
al hA A,,.,, pt Nart
The quality is good and the yield about
on an average. The general condition of
winter and spring wheat when harvested is
represented by 100, an average rarely at.
tanned Since harvest, in parts of the winter
wheat region, especially in Michigan and
Indiana, some millions OF bushels have been
lost by sprouting in the stock. There has
also been some loss of spring wheat from
the same cause In Wisconsin and other
states; The Ohio valley has nearly as large
aproduct as in 1879. Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois have apparently secured about
li2,0O0oO bushels. The south has in
creased both her acreage and yield per
acre. The aggregate of winter wheat as
indicated by the September returns is
about 3So.OOOOO0 bushels of spring wheat
and about 100000 or 590OO0, ,00j
in oil. The spring loss may slightly modify
these hgures. The first threshing gener-
ally exceeded the expectations, and the
later threshlng has in many sections been
disappointing. IL is quite certain that the
per capita supply OF wheat will not be quite
so large as in 1879 or in 1880. The cable
messages from our statistical agent in
London, dated September llth. is
as follows: The reported improve.
ment in European crops is confirmed.
The wheat crop Of Germany
is better than was expected and of France
a full average. The price of wheat is con.
stantly falling everywhere. The Vienna
congress claims that the worlds wheat sup.
ply isabove the average. The average con.
diti0n of potatoes in August was l0i; il has
fallen in September to 02. Last year the
decline during August was from 02 to TO-
and continues in greater ratio till harvest
The prospect is now favorable for a crop OF
not less than l50,0OO0OO bushels from
the present outlook. The decline has been
heaviest in New England and New York.
Prospects have improved in Ma. yland and
Virginia, have been well maintained in tho
Ohio valley and the lake region, and have
not materially changed west of the Mis-.
sissippi only Wisconsin and Kansas show
an average of 100 or higher, Maine stands
lowest at 60.
A telegram to the National board o
itllNuNOlut september
II, 1890 p. M, says; There were twenty
new cases to-day and three deaths. The
disease isspreading rapidly and the weather
is propitious for large increase. The ma.
tional board OF health to-day acted upon
the requistion for aid made BY the Pensa.
cola board Of health and voted 10 allow
500 per day for the nurses and $3.50 per
day for the inspectors. As soon
as yellow fever was declared epi.
demic in Pensacola, the surgeon gen.
eral Of the marine hospital service
telegraphed TO the governor Of Florida ask.
ing If II was desired that the treasury de.
partment should make Gordon Thlswas
done with sole reference to preventing q
spread Of the disease. No answer has been
received and 1t is feared II the request il
made II will be too late to do any good. II
is now stated that oil the towns In Florida
and Alabama are quf franuncd against Pen.
sacola, that is, they allow no persons Ia
enter the towns from Pensacola
but they are not prevented from
going around the towns and passing into
the interior. In the opinion OF those best
qualified TO Judge, this Is the best manner
Of spreading the diseuse.
The Texas state health officer reports tina,
no yellow fever exists In that state outside
of the lower Gordon, and ho suggests tha,
the upper Gordon from Laredo 10 Corpu,
Christi be abandoned. This will probably
be done In few days and the inner cordof
strengthened.
Tho new Hampshire republican stat,
convention to-day nominated Samuel W
Hale for governor.
