THE JURY'S VERDICT.
Mrs. Carter Guilty of Adultery and Mr..
Carter Acquitted.

CHICAGO, May 22.-At $50 o'clock the jury in
the Carter case came into Judge Jamieson's
court room and announced verdict to the
effect that Mrs. Carter was guilty of adultery
as charged in the cross bill and that Leslie Car
ter was not guilty of the charges preferred
against him in his wife's bill for divorce
Neither MIR. nor Mrs. Carter was present in the
court room when the verdict was read Ernest
Carter was there, however, and Lawyers Loesch
and Hynes for the defense and prosecution. re-
spectively, waited nervously for the result of
the long and tedious divorce trial The court
room was crowded with eager spectators
When the foreman announced the verdict a
buzz of excitement ran through the ROOM
Lawyer Hynes' ruddy countenance grew red
der than ever and he fell back in his chair with
the air of man who was bitterly disappointed
Lawyer Loesch did not take any pains to con-
ceal his jubilaton and Leslie Carriers younger
brother appeared to be the happiest man in
the court room, as he undoubtedly was.
1t is not thought likely that the verdict of
the jury in the Carter divorce case to-day will
end the matter. Mr.. Hynes at once made a
motion for new trial, which in the near future
will be argued. If the motion is overruled, as
it likely will be, Judge Jameson will enter a
decree giving Mr.. Carter divorce and the
custody of the boy. Then Mrs. Carter will ap-
peal to the appellate court and probably to the
supreme court and the case may drag along for
years.

rection by Presbyterians.

at the session of the general assembly this
morning was the report of the committee on
fraternal cooperation in Christian work be-
tween the northern and southern churches.
Judge S. NJ. Breckenridge. vino was TO present
the minority report, was not present. and the
consideration of the report was postponed
until thursday at 2:o0 p. m.
Rev. DIR. Thompson, chairman of the COM
mittee on bills ana overtures. reported that the
committee had received overtures from fifteen
presbyteries asking that revisons be made in
the articles Of confession of faith. The COM
mittee thought that action on the matter should
not be taken at present. and suggested that a
communication be addressed to each one of the
presbyteries under the control of the general
assembly asking them if they desired a revision
of the confession, and ii so. 10 what extent
The time having arrived for the report Of
foreign missions the matter was made a special

COMING ARMY CHANGES.
The Retirement of Adjutant-General
Drum and Its Results.

The coming retirement of Adjutant-G General
Drum still continues to occupy the attention
OF army officers, who are busy casting the horo-
scopes OF the various persons interested in that
event. The proposition to make Col. Whipple
acknowledgement over the head of Col Kelton,
his superior in rank, in order that he may re-
tire with the rank of brigadier-general instead
OF that of colonel, is regarded by many as I'M
just in that it would be perverson of the
law of promotion by rank, principle very
dear to an army officer. The fact that Col.
Kelton is younger than Col Whipple, it is ar
gued is no good reason why he should be
shelved for thirteen months and lose that much
pay and time merely in order that one
more brlgadier may be put upon the re-
tired list. 1t seems like effort to crowd
that list, said an army officer to-day, with
just as many men possible in the high
est rank, regardless of grade, order or
precedent. The friends of Col Keiton are
making strong fight to have the matter set
tied according to rank, but they are encounter
ing much opposition in the influence that is
being brought to bear in favor of Col. Whip
pie by the veterans of the western armies with
Gen. Sherman at their head. The course of
the President in this case will be watched with
great interest by officers and others as. it is
thought, it will undoubtedly foreshadow his
policy in the matter of army and navy selec-
tlons, as well as perhaps IN some other cases.
THE ANXIOUS CAPTAINS,
who want to be major and assistant adjutant-
general, are increasing in numbers daily.
Three more applicants have turned up-Capts.
Kellogg fifth cavalry; Andruss, first artillery,
and Lyman, fifth infantry. The fact that both
Capts. Kellogg and Blunt who were members
of Gen. Sheridan's staff, are candidates, has
caused some comment since two majors have
been added to the adjutaut-general's de-
partment from this source already-M. "
Sheridan and W. j. Volkmar. The great rush
of the captains toward this goal is to be ac-
counted for by the fact that the adjutant-gen-
erals corps is at present the most inviting spot
in the army-a sort of military Oklahoma, as it
were, since there will be
THREE RETIREMENTs
following that of Gen. Drum among its men,
bers in little over four years, and a captain
who gets into the corps now will be very near a
Northumberland in few years. Col Whip
pie is booked for retirement August 2, 1890;
Col. Kelton, June 81, 1892, and Col. McKeever.
August 81, 1898. Then there will be a lapse of
over three years, during which promotions in
the corps will be at standstill. In November,
1896 however they will begin again, and Col.
Vincent will retire; the next January Col
Green will go, and Col. Ruggles the following
September. This furnishes a sufficient excuse
for the anxiety of the captains to cross the
line

BISMARCK'S LITTLE GAME.
How He is Said to Have Controlled the
st. James ssGaZette."

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, May 22-In Greenwood's suit against
the st. James Gazette, the jury were discharged
being unable to agree. The trial is leading
topic in journalistic and political circles, being
looked On as highly important as throwing
light on the international ramifications of Bis
marck's reptile press bureau. Greenwood
threw up his edtorship, suspecting Stemkoff,
the new proprietor of the paper, of being
hobbled by Bismarck. He produced letters in
evidence, which show the following state of
things:
Stemkoff, a German merchant settled in
London, buys up the st. James Gazette, goes to
Berlin, is received by Bismarck himself. Bis
marck promises early news from Berlin on con-
dition that the news be published in the form
given, meaning, of course that the Bismarck khan
views on the news is to be advocated For in
stance, Stemkoff, after seeing Bismarck, sent
Greenwood the following cable news: Il
believe everything is going on as well as possi-
BILE, but 1t takes time to put matters right
Their idea concerning Boulanger is that an
English paper should say that Germany and
only Germany benefits by what Boulanger does
at present and has done for some time. namely
fomenting dissatisfaction and disobedience in
the army. But b. told me they were
awaiting further news before proposing any
observations on that subject"
B was stated in the crOss-examination to
mean Bismarck. This revelation will give a
mischievous flip to Bouianger. 1t makes
Boulanger stand out as the man whom Bis
marck feared and against whom he plotted
through English newspapers. Bismarck was so
friendly to Stelnkoff that the latter actually
proposed that the German embassies at Paris,
Rome, and st. Petersburg should secretly COM
muncate direct with the 81. James Gazete

A DISCREDITED REPORT.
Rumors of Warlike Designs of a British
Cruiser in Alaskan Waters.

The story is aAoat that England has deter
mined to send man-of-war to Alaska to protect
the illicit sealing vessels flying the British flag
from seizure and condemnation by the
United States under the provisions of the re-
cent proclamation issued by President
Harrison, and that there is great ex-
citement in consequence. The report
goes that the Thetis, of the
navy, and the Bear and the Rush, of the
revenue marine have been ordered to proceed
at once to Alaskan waters to head of
the intruder, and to keep peace or
preserve the proclamation at all haz-
ards. This story is discredited at the
Treasury department, and Capt. Bonnet, chief
Of the revenue marine bureau, states that he
has no official knowledge Of any effort
on the part of England to circum-
vent the strict carrying out of the
proclamation. The Thetis has been ordered
to cruise around Point Barron to give all possi-
BILE aid in the establishment OF the refuge
station there, and the Bear and the Rush
win start ON their regular cruises as soon al
they are in condition.
