rae STAR ROUTE VERDICT.
Comments Of the Leading New YoIk
Papers.
NEw York. June Is.

Of the star route verdict the Herald says:
s.The verdict of the jury has not merely ac-
Quilted the defendants; it condemns the at
tornev general and his helpers; it declares on
the oaths of twelve men that the govern
ment brought false charges against these de-
PENDANTS. That is serious matter. 1t Is an
injury for which the men ought TO have re-
dress from the government"
The Sun saws: 1T is mistake To sup
pose either in England OF America the peo-
Pile undertake to punish by legal process
every man who here committed crime. Only
those are to suffer thus whose guilt is so plain
that twelve men sitting in Judgment have no
doubt of it. If the defendants in the star
route case could not be brought within this
category. they were entitled ID go free. and
we can only regret that the proof failed to
establish their responsibility for crime OF
which we believe them guilty"
The World says: 'The false verdict rend-
cred bv the jury is more than a failure of
justice, it is a public calamity. This is a
blow to justice. 1t is an encouragement to
dishonesty"
The Tribune says: The jury system is
not likely to gain in popular estimation BY
the verdict rendered YESTERDAY at Washing
ton. The defendants escape the penalties OF
law but they cannot escape general condem-
nation.''
The Times saws: The verdict of the star
route jury is one that will give comfort and
encouragement to all who think it no sin to
steal from the treasury of the United States.
To the honest people of the nation it is re-
suit unexpected and undesired; grievous
disappointment and fresh revelation of the
pow er of wealth and unscrupulous graduates
of school of practical politics when con-
fronted in the courts of Washington by
proofs of their villainy."
How did the jury regard the evidence of
Rerdel?" asked a reporter of John ii. Crane,
foreman of the jury.
''There was not one of them" said Crane.
''that believed word that Rerdell or Moore
said, or much that Welsh said. 1t was an
impossible story that Walsh would allow
Brady to take $4,000 in his notes from him
and put them into his pocket, and then part
with him like a philosopher, 1t was too
absurd. A man Of his ilk, if Brady should
do such thing, was likely at least to sing
out stop thief"
500 you think" asked the reporter, THAT
any of the jury were influenced improperly?'
mo, do not" said Crane. "Durng the
whole trial none of the lawyers on either
side ever said an improper word to me.
don't think the slightest influence was
brought to bear upon any member of the
jury; in fact, those | thought were going
to acquit went for conviction

The following particulars relative to the
terms of peace have been published in the
papers here, and afe taken from letters stolen
the oath ult. from a special courier en- route
to Gen. Iglesies. Chill will not forfeit the

profit OF l ZOO, 200 tons, deducting all expen-
ses, will be equally divided between Chilian
and Peruvian bondholders.
These profits are the only come-out of the
islands now worked, as future mines found
in annexed territories belong exclusively to
Chill. who can dispose of such newly discov-
cred mines at will. Chill does not hold her
self responsible for any Indebtedness of Peru
Chilli holds the sovereignty of the Lahos
Islands, until sufficient guano is extracted to
fulfill the sale of 1000 900 tons when the
treaty is ratified. Chill turns over to Peru
80 per cent OF the net proceeds from the
Labos Islands. Lastly, the commercial re-
lations and indemnities of Chilian citizens
will be discussed afterwards.

Crooks almost incredible surprise and
capture of Indians far craftier and more
dangerous than Braddock met, the entire
progress of white warfare and hostile
operations against the Indians has been
included. Braddock and Crook are the
most perfect antitheses of each other.
Braddock's ignorance of the Indians was
as dark and utter as Crooks knowledge
of them is perfect and complete. What

several generations of Indian warfare
Crook knows, either from history or
experience. He knows some tribes

better than they know themselves.
To say that he knows them to death"
would be to adopt a frontier phrase that

of Crooks history as an Indian fighter.

II is evident that the French people are
somewhat excited by the threatening as
pect of French relations with China. II
has been thought worth while to inquire
at the American Legation in Paris, if
officers of the United States Navy
have asked leave to serve in the Chinese
Navy. Americans, as well as Britons.
have served in the Chinese Army and
Navy before now, as they have in
Turkey, Egypt and Japan. But
these gentlemen were. in every
case. private citizens when they entered the
service of foreign power. No ''leave"
could possibly give an officer of the army
or navy of this Republic the right to serve
China. or any other foreign government,
in any warlike capacity. II an American
naval oofficer desires to serve in the Chi
nese Navy he can resign his commission
and go wherever he pleases. No naval
or military officer of the United States,
whether on furlough or leave of absence,
or on the retired list, can hold his COM
mission and serve foreign power.
