Iron.Mills Resuming Work.

MILWAUKEE June IA. The Bayview mills,
of the North Chicago Rolling-mill Company,
will start up on Monday the scale having
been signed through Superintendent Parkes.
The furnaces will be fired up in the mer-
chant mill, the top and bottom fish-plate
mill, and the puddle mills. In conference
of the scale committee with Mr.. Parkes. this
morning, the question of bi-weeky pay
ments was not broached, as the committee
had no authority to act on that matter.
There will be meeting of the lodges to-
morrow night when the men will decide
whether to insist on being paid every two
weeks If they favor it they will refer the
matter to the executive committee, and they
will confer with the leaders at Pittsburg. If
strike is ordered, the company will be in
bad boat, as having just started afresh they
are likely to have many orders that must be
Tiled.

Foreman Cranes Dream.

Washington Special to New York Tribune.
John H. Crane, the foreman of the star
route jury, wrote out and handed to re-
porter the following account of an
alleged dream which he had had with regard
to the proceedings of the jury after its retire
ment to deliberate upon the evidence in the
pending case. The so-called dream" is gen.
orally understood here as sort of allegorcal
expression of the foreman's belief that an
agreement upon verdict will not soon be
reached: Last night dreamed saw twelve
men locked up in a room together. They
were venerable-looking men, their heads be-
ing white with the frosts of age.
1t seemed long, long way off in the
fnture-way down near the sunset of time.
| dreamed l was one of them, and we were
engaged in considering the evidence in the
second star-route trial. The evidence seemed
to lie in strata, and we were engaged with
pick-axes and shovels trying to exhume it
from beneath the mountains of arguments,
exceptions and prayers under which it lay
buried. We were a very conscientious jury;
SO conscientious that we were not willing to
take vote until we had examined all the
evidence. One of our number had his heart
set on agate, and declared he would never
consent to take vote until he found it. We
iouho green-norn without mucn trouble,
but poor little agate" was buried so deep it
never came to the surface.
Alter we had been out long time-it
seemed an age-I heard the judge say to the
marshal, in loud and somewhat impatient
tone of voice: put the jury on the old COM
mon law diet" This threw CONSERVATION
among us, for we had been dining on the
best that Walsh could aiford;2o we hurried
dp things. But just as we were proceeding
to take a vote, there suddenly appeared over
all the ghost of John Calvin, who comforted
our weary souls with something like the fol-
lowing
Yon can and you can't,
You will and you won't;
Youth be damned If you no,
And be damned If you don't.
Just then awoke, glad TO know was only
dreaming. l am sorry to say that am un-
able to give any information as to how that
iury stood

Press Comments on the Verdict.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-The Evening Star
says, edltorially: The verdict of acquittal
rendered by the jury in the star-route case
was unexpected, though it was supposed
that probably there would be disagreement
upon conviction. While the verdict is in
the nature of surprise, the result does not
justify any censure of the jury as having
acted otherwise than conscientiously in their
conclusion. There were men on the jury who
certainly would not have voted for acquittal
unless, in their faithful endeavor to master
all the details of this extremely involved and
complicated case they were unable to
trace beyond reasonable doubt
all the links required legally to establish a
conspiracy. AS one of the jurymen says in
regard to this action, THE indictments were
based upon conspiracy, and if there was
no o;conspiracy established there could be no
conspiracy" The news of the verdict in the
star-route trial reached the Department of
Justice shortly after 10 o'clock this morning
by telephone. At the time the Attorney

Attorney Bliss on the Verdict.

WASHINGTON, June 14-George Bliss, of
the counsel for the prosecution in the star
route case, when asked tonight what he
thought of the verdict, said it had been sur
prise to him as well as to his associate coun-
sci. He said he would not have been sur
prised at disagreement of the jury; that in
fact he had been of the opinion that the
jury would stand about nine for conviction
and three for acquittal. The very men,
however, on whom he had depended as GER
train for conviction voted the other way
He did not think the honesty of the
jury should be impugned because of
the verdict. Where twelve men united on a
verdict, no lawyer would care to saw they
had been improperly Influenced. He be-
lieved the members of the jury had been mis-
taken, but that was all. Their opinions
further proceedings against the defendants
who have just been acquitted, he said be
thought the cases against Brady, Kellogg
and others indicted with Brady, would 90
over until fall, as Judge Wylie pro-
posed to hear cases of local
up the star-route case. Against the Dor
seys, Vale and Miners there were practically
no more criminal cases. One indictment
against them was on record, but it was one
which had been laid aside because of the
fact that Rerdell's initials and Vaile's name
were improperly set down in it,and moreover,
it did not differ materially from the one
upon which the jury had just rendered
verdict of acquittal. AS to the proposed civil
suits against the defendants he could say lit
tie. He did not think civil proceedings could
be successfully maintained against Brady,
as he had not received money from the gov
ernment for service in carrying the nails
Hl,ar tl, oi, c,ttf 1,,lA L.
for the recovery of money paid contractors
mproperly-money for which no service
had been rendered, or money paid for illegal
expenditures for service. He said he did
not know whether he would have charge OF
the civil suits or not, but he knew he would
not take the management of them if they
were to be prosecuted in Washington or any
considerable distance from New York city
He did not think the government would
want to begin any civil suits in Washington
