and sentenced-The Jury Takes Only
Five Minutes 20 Reach q Verdict-fne
Prisoner Betrays No Emotion.
LONDON, Oct 21.-Tbe jury in the Neill
case have returned. a verdict OF guilty.
They were out only five minutes. Justice
Hawkins at once sentenced Nelli 10 DC

Neill was brought in and placed in the
dock. Justice Hawkins began his sum-
ming mn at noon. He reviewed the evidence
at length, saying that the jury was not TO
expect the prosecution to submit maine
matical proof Of the commission OF crime.
1t often happened, as in this case, that no
eyewitness could be called to prove the
act It was impossible to keep separate
the evidence in regard to the deaths Oh ING
other girls, though no issue was at present
raised as to how anyone except the Clover
girl had died. Justice Hawkins tnen ais
cussed the direct evidence, which, ne oe-
clared, spoke for ITSELF
The case was then given to the jury ana
thew retired. Before the people in tie
courtroom had time to thoroughly discuss
the Judges charge the jury returned. NeIl
then advanced to the front OF the DOCK;
where he laid his right hand on the rall
and placed his left hand on his hip. he
| turned to the iurymen and calmly, but very
closely, studied their faces When the
| foreman, in q clear voice, announced tne
| verdict of "Guilty" there was an audible
expression of satisfaction in the court
| Ne.'l remained unmoned, but some OF dis
frient sobbed.
A pa. -.ul hush followed when Neill hao
| responded to the clerks question as 30
whether he had anything to say why SEN
tence should not be passed upon him. Then
! the curtains beside the Judges seat moved
and a chaplain, attired in his ministerial
robes, entered and stood at the left Of the
Judgment seat Several warders entered
the dock and stood behind Neill. Justice
Hawkins then put on the black cap and
solemnly sentenced the convicted murderer
to be hanged. Before pronouncing sen
tence the Justice, commenting on the case'
said:
What actuated you to kill in that crne
way with so much torture, poor creature
who had not offended you, L know noe' W
do know that your cruelty toward ner ~.
the crime you committed are OF unparaileie'
atrociry.
Neill displayed no emotion whateve
while the Judge was speaking, but his eye
necessarily shifted from one place to an
other. The jailors touched him on TN
shoulder. He turned quickly and walket
from the dock as firmly as he had entered

THE TARIFF PARAMOUNT

Even to Civil Service Reform, in John Gays
Estimation-A Caustic Reply to Wayne
Macyeagh,s Speeches in New York ana
Philadelphia.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-John Jay, iately
President of the Civil Service Commission
of New York, has written letter to wayne
MacVeagh, in reply to his recent speecnes
in Philadelphia and New YORK, giving
reasons for his announcement that
he would vote for Grover CleVe-
land. Mr.. Jay says that both OF
Mr. MacVeagh's speeches express sen'i,
ments with which intelligent and devoteu
Republicans and Civil Service reiorme' 5
will particularly agree. He fails to nne,
borsver in either Of these speeches, grounds
for believing that the ethical spirit tnas
neryaded the Democratic Convention AZ
Chicago and inspired its platform on tne
tariff was one calculated to redeem anu Ie,
generate the Republic, or to secure soclsl
order and social Justice, and yet there seeMs
70 he no pood reason for ignoring, In tnis
discussion of the canvass, the principal Is
sue of the tariff, the chief question on
which the Democrats are DIVIDED.
Mr.. Jay insists that despite the issues ..
gigantic Importance which demand inssans
national action, the tariff Is stiii tne cnlei
issue of the pending Presidential contest'
and saws that its frank discussion was rec
commended BY Mr.. Cleveland himself In MS
letter of acceptance. "
Mr jaw then quotes this sentence from
Mr.. Cleyeland's letter: "We will rely
upon the intelligence of our fellow country
men to reject the charge that party Is
nlanning the destruction OF or injury to
American interests, and we know that they
cannot be frightened by the spectre OF i'm
| possible free trade" and remarks that MI.
cleveland omitted to refer to the sll-im-
| nortsnt fact that the Democratic conven-
| tion had spoken definitely on this point,
and that q resolution in concurrence with
the views expressed by him had been pre-
septed and rejected, and that substitute
expressing opposite views had been adopted.
MI. Jaw concluded as follows:
| That omission by Mr.. Cleveland In his let
| ter of all reference on the action OF the con
| yention to the tariff plank. has perhaps Zee
| to a similar omission in your own speecnes
| an omission that may be regretted, as oe
| priying us of your candid opinion on tnis
| leading feature of the Democratic platform
radical and revolutionary change In oul
| national policy.
With MI. Cleveland's views and action IL
| regard to civil service reform ! founo my
| self in accord, when l had the honor Q
serving, by his appointment, on the Clvi
| Service Commission OF this State. But
| the tariff plank, which he has accepted.
| see great danger to the cause of civil servlc
| reform, for It substitutes the decision OF
| Democratic convention, without the sugn'
| est regard to the ruling of the constitution
ana the gladstone light of ofjurisprudence.

OF the Seizure of British Vessels on Their
Side of Bering Sea.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Oct. H.-The 0ftcidt
Messenger published to-day the first authori.
tative version of the Russian capture OF
sealing vessels in the Pacific Ocean. IL
says six vessels were seized at points 10 70
20 miles from the Russian coast, not from 30
to 40 miles, as has been asserted. The cap
lures we're nearly all made outside the terri
torial water boundary. This is explained
by the fact that the sealers, seeing the
Russian cruisers approaching, sailed OUT
and the cruisers chased them.
nroved they had been sealing in Russian
waters were seized. The conduct Of the
Russiau officers was blameless. The British
flag was not insulted. The crews .ot the
captured vessels were well treated, Du,
when they became quarrelsome and insulted
the Russian officers, order had to be re-
stored by force of arms.

At this point the A. A. A exhibited
their lack of practice. Ewing passed the
ball to McClintock, who failed to hold it,
and it was only stopped within five yards
of the P A. C's goal. Valentine tried to
get through the center. but Dr. Proctor

q football game in this city. 1t was also an
enthusiastic gathering. Shout after shout
was sent skyward, while the surrounding
hills sent back the echoes of the "yells' OF
the A. A. AS answered by that of the P.
A, C.'s. And the forces were about evenly
divided. The members of the A. A. A.
had chartered two tallyhos, and from the
top of these the def wss sent forth to the P.
A, C,'s, who answered from below in their
own rhythmic style. By the time the
teams were ready to appear the vast audi
ence had been stirred up to the highest
pitch of enthusiasm and expectation.
Cheers for the A. A. AS.
Then the A. A. A. team, led by the
burly Kounts, jumped over the ropes, and
shout went up that shook the foundations
of the buildings surrounding. These were
filled from the first stories to the roofs with
people who took in the game free of cost.
A few minutes later the P. A. G.. eleven,
headed by Captain Aull, were greeted by
cheers that were even louder than those
piyen their rivals Proceedings were de-
laved at this stage to allow the teams to be
photographed, and also in the selection of
referee and umpire, over which there was
some disagreement Messrs. D. d. Barr
and Robinson were finally chosen, and they
alternated in their positions in the two
halves
It was close on to o'clock when the
two teams lined up, the ball in the hands of
the A. A. AS, the P. A. C.'s choosing the
