-------- THE OFFICIAL FIGURES.
The Count of ths Schsdnlcs Gives st,
 Louis a Population of aaS.t2s.

Wssit.NeroS, D. C., July 7.-Population of s.t. Louis. AS, isl, The official count of the schedules of St Louis wns completed about , o'clock this evening at the Census offlec This is what Is known as the first cr rough count and Is pretty accurate. There Is not likely to he Il change Of half a dozen either WAY by the verifying count, which will come later IL will be observed that this fgare is in excess of the estimate made by Supervisor Wc,rel. This Is prob ably ,lWc to the fact that his estimate was i based solely uyon the daily report cards of the erumcra,ors. Sgpt- Porter says that these report cards do not come up to the fall returns in any cass The cstil'e'es based upon .te report cards arc generally short l4asmuch as the corrections made toward the close of the enumeration have in most cases added materially to the total population,
 The result places Ss. ouis ahead of Bos ton, though stl. behind Ba,timor-, unless that eits's official couat snalt show that tho estimate of it's Supervisor has boon exae gerated St Loais can euts,rip Balti noec only by getting recount at least of sonc of it's districts

THE CROSS TRIAL CLOSED.
Sig at ths befrbdants Found Gu,ity ..
 Murder.

PARIS, Tex, July o.-Thc agony in the famous Cross case Is over at last, so far as some who participated in that awft.l aHair are concerned. This morning the jurors came into the court room and announced that they had agreed upon n verdict. There was iiiou,eut of suspense. The defend ants were at the bar The foreman hand cd the Judge the verdict which he passed to tho Clerk, who read:
 "Wc the jury, would respectfully rep resent to your honorable Court that we find .. F. Cook, | B Chamberlain. Cyrus F'rcese, l. Lawrence and John G. Jackson, guilty of murder as charged in the indict- mcnt Wc hud Win. UConnor. Vim. Donald, Wln. Smith Grubbs, j. ". Col vert and John A. Rntter not guilty. As to Ed Bowden. we agree it was mis- trial. v
 It was what was expected, though the features of some of the doomed men seemed frightened. The Judge directed that they be returned to iail and those who wore acquitted bc set at liberty. Then Wm. o'Connor arose to address the Court His face was livld with rage. AS he proceeded It was evident that he wanted to execrate the prosecution but Judge Bryant stopped him and told him that he was satisfied that every man connected with the case had done his full duty Friends of the defend ants then went on the streets and induigcd in great deal of wild talk and vigorously denounced rexas. juries. They were par ticularly angry at Hon. F. J. Macoub, who conducted the case in behalf of the Govern. ment with such ability, and 1t was inti- mated that violence would bc offered him, but Deputy Marshals were on the look out to guard against anything of that kind. It is ga q threats have been to the effect that the pail would be broken in to night, but a strong force Is on duty to prevent any thing of the kind. The wives of ali the men except Jack Lawrence, who is single man, arc here, aud are inconsolable with grief, aud have the sympathy of all, al though the verdict is in perfect accord with p,ibic sentiment

BAD MEAT IN BAD CHICAGO.

Interesting Discovery Made In Jake
Hess slaughter House.
CHICAGO, June l5.-With inspectors
known To he walking in the slaughter
house of Jacob Hess To prevent the sur
rcp,itious preservation of meat Of lumpy-
jawed cattle, the forbidden practice was
discovered last night in full blast, So at
least representatives Of the city health
department declare. The inference drawn
is that the tainted meat was sold at cheap
prices, but all the profit was To be mar
keted through pcddlcrs In the artisan dis.
tricts in Chicago. Apparently each ele-
vator load of meat before being hoisted 10
the upper floors Of the slaughter house for
destruction in the rendering vats, was for
a moment lowered Ia the basement, and
the bindquarters and most valuable meat
secretly unloaded, after which the elcva-
tor again started upward 10 the rendering
watts. just 2,7OO pounds of alleged dis
eased meat was found hidden away in the
basement. The discovery was made by
the city officials and Is being used by
them 10 support their oft made charge
that the state inspectors are remiss, IL
not corrupt, and that inspection should
be done by the city.

THEIR new SCHEME
Senators Who Are Pushing tho Latest
Plan for Silver.
II ls a New Deal and q Good Many
Senators Are Pledged to II
on the QuIet-What the
Bill Proposes.

Special to the standard.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-Not one of the
Eastern newspapers, except the New York
Times, contained a word to-day about the
new agreement reached by the republic
cans Of the senate In regard to silver.
The news was kept very quiet until last
night, and then IL got out merely by acci-
dent just before II was wired 10 the
STANDARD. The senators were SO care
full about II that Mr.. Carter was taken by
surprise when he learned that an agree
ment had been reached. He knew that q
paper had been circulated and he had
heard that Power had refused to sign the
agreement until, as he said, he knew bet
ter "what the confounded thing was
loaded with" as he evidently suspected
that It was loaded.
The signers Of the agreement, accord
ing to what one of them has just now
said, amount to-day to ~, and that is con-
sidered so safe q number that IL Is be-
lieved the proposition, when drafted and
brought into the senate tomorrow, will
be easily substituted for anything else
that may be before the senate when the
vote on silver Is reached. Senators Tel
