UNITED STATES COURT.

The Adams Couch murder case is draw
ng to close. The evidence was all in
yesterday at about 8 O'Clock and the argu-
ment begun Col. Johnson, who is assist
ing the prosecution in the case, opened the
of an hour long. 1t was forcible, logical
and eloquent appeal. He was followed by
Judge Shields for the defense, who spoke
an hour and a quarter, with his
usual power, fuency and pathos.
He was unusually brilliant, log
ical and forcible, and his apostrophe to
the character, devotion, and fidelity of
Mrs. Adams, wife of defendant, and her
husband was an interlude in the chain Of
his argument that elected the highest adj
miratiOn of those who heard it. Judge
Amos Green followed Judge Shields for
the defense, in powerful appeal, bristling
with stubborn facts, clean-cut logic and
eloquence. He will finish his speech today
and will be followed by District Attorney
Ady, whose well earned reputation as a
profound thinker, logical and elo-
quent speaker will draw large
crowd. To take it all in
all this case has created more excitement
and interest and furnished greater dis
play of legal talent than any case which
has yet been tried.
The evidence in the case of the Hawleys
and Eddie Belden is all in except couple
of witnesses for the prosecution in re-
buttal. The arguments will probably be
all made today and the case go to the jury.
This case seems to attract majority of
the Oklahomians who are in the city at
tending court.
The jury in the Stanley~Jacobs case is
still out. They were brought into court
yesterday and questioned by Judge Dundy.
No verdict had been reached as yet. The
judge told them that he would probably
be here all next week, and if they did not
reach conclusion in that time he would
have to send them to Topeka to Judge
Foster. Unless verdict is reached the
jury have a dreary prospect before
them, as Judge Dundy seems deter
mined that they shall reach a
conclusion one way or the other He will
not allow them to bring in disagreement.
Judge Ryner is worker as he expresses
it, and convenes his court an hour in adj
vance of Judge Dundy, who is much older
and takes matters more sedately. The
court will probably last until the last of
next week and all cases not reached by
that time will be continued.

ADJUSTMENTS.
EFFIE ELLsLER


In our modern theatrical system, the
star artist who secures good, weli-devised,
interesting play, has the assurance OF a
long career, with fame and fortune faring
hand in hand. Miss Ellsler is TO be con-
graduated On the acquisition OF such
play from the pen of Mr.. E. j. Swarts, OF
this city. The piece is social drama OF
the present day. entitled 1.-The Governess,"
and, in the character of Mrs. Grlffiths or
Fora Warden, Miss Ellsler is given ample
and befitting opportunities for the felici-
tous development OF those talents and &C
quirements which have heretofore won her
the favor OF the Philadelphia public.
In every situation Miss Ellsler discovers
entire command of herself and of her scene.
She is equal to every emergency, and Is not
once forced into frantic effort or hysterical
extravagances to express the full power OF
passions and pathos that sweep tempest
like through the critical passes OF Zorah
Warden's trials and triumphs. With this
quiet reserve and fine subsection TO the
modesty of nature, Miss Ellsler appeals TO
the intelligence as well as to the sympathy
OF her audience; and the result is most
gratifyingly effective. She carries all
hearts with her, and succeeds in making g
profound impression which will perma-
nently confirm her repute as an artist Of
rare abilities.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-There can be
no doubt of the desire of the officers of
the state and navy departments to
allay any apprehension of war between
the United States and Chill that may
have been caused by alarming newspaper
publications. Secretary Tracy said the
war-like stories are without foundation,
and that there is nothing in the situa-
ton to warrant their acceptance. The
officers of the state department are nom
communicative of news but took such
optimistic views of the situation as to
warrant the belief, strengthened by the
fact that Secretaries Blaine and Tracy
have today been in consultation with
the president, that some news of most
reassuring character has been received
from the American Representative in
Chill.

An Excellent Impression Produced.

LONDON, Dec PA dispatch to the
Times from Santiago, Chill, says that
the speech of President Harrison at the
reception of the Chilian minister pro-
duced an excellent impression. The
last act of the provincial government
has been to present in the senate pro-
posed law, granting amnesty to the fol-
lowers of the late President Balmaceda,
an exception, however, being made oi
the members of Balmaceda's congress.
The Judge of crimes report in the mat
ter of the attack on the Baltimore sailors
to the effect that the Chilian police did
their duty. and that two Chilians, who
were guilty in connection with the affair
are to be punished by imprisonment.
