INVESTIGATING THE JURY.

The Charges of Bribery Being Siftel to

NEW ORLEANS, March 20.-The com
III ttee which had charge of the move
ment against the men accused Of the
assassination of Hennes 5y is now inves-
tigating the jury in the hope of finding
if there were any members of it bIibed.
The Jurors will be assembled and will
be asked to give their explanation Of
their verdicts, and subjected to vigor-
ous cross examination in the be ief that
it will develop all the facts Near
ly all the jurors including the
foreman, Seligman, who has left
town, have given statements of what
took place in the jury room. Those
who voted for the ac cIuittal of all the
prisoners insist that they were justified
in doing so, that the judge instructed
them to give the prisoners the benefit of
any doubt, and that their verdict was
based on these instructions. They
voted for ac luittal because they did not
think the state had made out Il case,
and because they did not believe some
of the state witnesses. The refusal of
the district attorney to summon as wit
nesse5 the men who were the first at the
scene Of the as 'asslnatiOn, who picked
up Hennessy when he was shot down,
and who pursued the murderers, in
cluding Officer Roe, who was shot in
the ear by one of the assassins, i'm
pressed them unfavorably. So far none
of the jurors have shown the slightest
weakening, and they repudiate emphat-
ically the proposition that any money
was used to influence their verdict

Wednesday night Capt. Arthur Dunn,
prominent attorney and one of the
lawyers employed by the state in the
recent trial of the suspected assassins
of Chief Hennessy, got into a quarrel
with Frank Waters, an ex-iournalist
and well known man about town, which
ended in the killing of Waters and the
serious wounding of Dunn Waters was
drunk and declared the recent massacre
an outrage and expressed a desire tp see
all those connected with it come to an
untimely end Dunn began the shoot
ing and Waters returned the fire. The
latter was shot several times in the head
and the former twice in the chest.
Waters died almost instantly,
The shooting really had no reference
to the assassination, although it is true
that Walters was drunk that night, and
was abusing the citizens who took part
in the uprising. There was an old feud
between the men growing ont of roli-
tics, and the shooting of Dunns friend
Baker by Walters four years ago.

AMERICAN BEER
The Germans Get a Taste Of II
and Want More.
The Embargo Against Our Cat
tie Raised at Once.

The Restriction Against Our Pork to BE
Phelps, Very Quietly Gets in His Work
by Serving American Meat at state
Banquets.
BERLIN, March 20,-Owing to the un-
firing efforts of the United States min
lister here, Hon William Walter Phelps,
Chancellor Won Caprivi has removed
the embargo placed upon American cat
tie landed at'Hamburg and it is likely
that Mr.. Phelps will be able to obtain
the removal of the restrictions placed
upon the importation of the American
hog. Already 800 American beeves have
been landed at Hamburg as an expert
ment. This landing of American cattle
has been carried on for weeks and has
only been known to the imperial gov
ernment, to Mr. Phelps and to the au-
thorities Of the port of Hamburg All
parties concerned are pleased with the
success of the experiment.
Mr. Phelps, at a series of dinners
which he has given at his residence
here, has given his guests American
beef, and has thus introduced its use in
the families of many distinguished
members of the fashionable circles of
Berlin
In turn the Hamburg local officials
are making costly and permanent inn
provements in the landing facilities
now at the disposal of the importer OF
American cattle. The object of the
Hamburg officials in making the inn
proyemeuts referred to is to encourage
and develop the trade in American cat
tie.
How Cattle Are Landed.
The present course followed in land
ing cattle at Hamburg is as follows:
After the cattle have been examined by
the veterinary surgeons of the port, they
are, when pronounced entirely healthy,
landed from the steamships and are
driven to a large airy building, built of
iron and stone, where they are inn
mediately sold to the butchers The
custom, up to quite recently, has been
to keep American cattle under a sort of
surveillance on quarantine for four
months previous to killing them. Model
slaughter houses are now being built at
Hamburg. The cost of the bull ling
will be $500. 900.
Then there is separate house for
hogs, which is already completed and
ready for the trade which it is expected,
will develop into American hogs as soon
as the restrictions upon their importa
ton are removed.
The erection of this hog house shows
the confidence which the officials of
Hamburg place in the ability of Mr.,
Phelps TO obtain the removal of the OBJ
noXious restrictions.
Chancellor Won Caprivi is now consid-
ering the point made by Mr.. Phelps,
who asks that American hogs be al
lowed to land in the same manner and
under the same inspection as American
cattle.
The interview with Mr. jeremiah M.
Rusk, secretary of the United States de
partment of agriculture, in which he is
quoted as saying that the United States
''does not ask but demands the repeal
of the hog restrictions, is largely quoted
by the hostile press and may delay mat
ters.
