ords has apparently stopped. Mr..
Horton was down last week but re-
turned home again. Col. Stone has
not shown up since it was made
known that his report would not
hold voter. It looks as if the mat
ter would end here. Strange to say
our loud talking advocates Of inves-
tigation have APPARENTLY lost all
interest since Ringerud's record was
proven inpeachsble. II 1900 have
been spent in the interest Of reform,
it would seem that the expanding Of
q couple or more thousands would
be necessary to make the reform

A JURORS OPINION.
vHAT II Is ALLEGED NE. LEE SAID IN REGARD TO
SCHNEIDER

WHAT II - ALLEGED MR. Ike SAID In kk9AED TO
SCHNEIDER
Yesterday afternoon an additional motion
for a new trial was fled In the Schneider case,
the alleged ground Of the motion being that
George T. Lee, one of the colored jurors, had
previously expressed . decidedly emphatic
opinion as TO the gull. Of the defendant and
had said that he thought Schneider should be
hung. The motion recited the fact that Mr..
Lee had, when being examined - to his lit
ness TO serve as q Juror, stated that he had
neither formed nor expressed an opinion. The
motion also recited the fact that not until yes
terday did the defendants counsel become
aware Of Juror Lee's alleged statement, which
statement, the motion says, was heard by sew
eral persons, upon whose affidavits the motion
Is based. Counting Sunday yesterday was the
nth day since Schneiders conviction, and
when this last motion for a new trial was
handed to the clerk of the court yesterday the
question arose as TO whether or not the four
days allowed in which to file motion for O new
trial had expired. The district attorney upon
being consulted said he had no objection TO
the motion being received, and 1t was there
upon fled
MAY COME UP TOMORROW.
The motion for a new trial will in all proba-
bility be called up tomorrow, and may be dis
posed Of at that time, although it is generally
believed that Judge Wilson will ask for at least
weeks postponement of the arguments. It
is the opinion Of those la syers who have read
the motions submitted by Schneider's counsel
that Judge Bradley will promptly override
them and at once pronounce the sentence,
which is that Of death by hanging the day
upon which the sentence shall be executed
being designated by the court
Section s45 of the United States Statutes at
Large relating to the District of Columbia says
that to enable any person convicted of q crime
punishable by death or by confinement IN the
penitentiary to apply for a writ of error the
court shall. on application of the defendant,
postpone the final execution of the sentence to
u reasonable time beyond the next term of
the court, not exceeding thirty days after the
end of such term. Schneider was tried and
convicted in the January term of the Court in
General Term. The next term of the court,
the April term, began the first Monday in this
month, and the term will end tie first Monday
In October. Should Judge Bradley refuse the
motion for a new trial he would of course be
governed by the law quoted, and would there
fore In passing sentence upon Schneider des-
ignate some day next October for carrying into
effect the penalty prescribed by law. Should
the Court in General Term pass upon
Schneider's appeal during the present term
and refuse to reverse the judgment of the
lower court the execution of the sentence
would then only be arrested by an appeal to
the United States Supreme Court or by an ap-
peal to the President

A PARALLEL CASE,

COL. sTERETT TELLS ABOUT THE LEAKAGE OF
EXECUTIVE SECRETS OF THE PRESS COMMITTEE.
Col. Bill Sterett is very practical sort Of
humorist He frequently conveys solid in
formation in jocular manner and at times
makes more or less successful effort to conceal
large chunks Of satire in what might, by the
unsuspicious, be mistaken for fact Col.
Sterett has been very much interested in the
case Of Mr.. James R Young, who was removed
from his Office Of principal executive clerk be-
cause executive session secrets leaked out. The
other evening the colonel inadvertently found
himself in company with three or four Sena-
tors and several Representatives, and in some
way or other the conversation turned toward
the initiation Of Mr.. Russell B. Harrison into
the press gallery force Of Correspondents Then
came the colonies opportunity to point .
moral
GAS some Of you folks know" said he, 'Tm
member Of the press committee. Our princi-
pal duty il to pass upon the applications Of
those who desire to have their names embalmed
in the pages Of the Congressional Directory. I
am at liberty to state-there is some latitude in
our obligation-that objection was made by
who objected said they didn't care to make
public accusation, so the committee decided to
hear and consider the charges in executive
session. Now have always been opposed to
becret beBBlOuS. never Try 70 20 anything j
am likely to be ashamed Of, so naturally avoid
secret sessions Under the circumstances,
though, and being in q decided minority,
consented to participate in the star
chamber inquisition. After We heard
everybody and had come to q conclusion
! went down street and inside Of fifteen min.
utes the entire proceedings seemed to be IN
everybody's mouth. Ofcourse I was astonlshed;
had to be. How on earth had the news
leaked out? I must admit that had given .
few pointers to friend or two and I was salts
fed that other members Of the committee had
been similarly careless and constituencies, but
We didn't dare permit ourselves to think so.
1t was most embarrassing situation. I didn't
dare look the other members in the face and
they were feeling Just that way about my
countenance OF course Mr.. Harrison and his
friends-in fact, the entire administration-re-
gard US with very natural and probably justif
able suspicion. We have discussed the ques-
ton in every phase and have at last reached .
conclusion: We must purge ourselves at
any cost and very fortunately We
are in position to do so. We have o clerk.
He was present at that executive session. We
will fire him next week. OF course he will be
out OF Job, and captfous people may make
uncomfortable remarks about his supposititious
fsithlessness, but our good name will be un-
impaired and that's what We are most anxious
about II We can't keep inviolste the secrets
OF our executive sessions We can ct least put
the blame where it won't.do rs any harm"
And those Senators are still wondering
whether the colonel's utterances we're true or
simply allegorical
