Little Prospect of His Continuing In

tai. this morning. to be In the same con-
hition as yesterday. That means that he
IL quiet. though highly nervous easily
eXcitable, and at times very much ex-
cited.
No visitors are allowed to see him,
and the outcome of the attack that
made him insane while In the jury-boX
in the trial Of Dr. Meyer for poisoning
Ludwig Brandt is still problematical.
Drs. Carlos T.. Macdonald and Charles
l.. Dana. selected by Justice Barrett to
look into the case of Juror Low. declined
to anticipate the report which they Will
submit. to the Court tomorrow: 1t is
probable, however. that they will report
that 1t would be inadvisable and danger
GUS to the mental health OF the patient
to return him to the jury-boX and sub
NIT him to any further strain or excite
ment.
Whether the distinguished alienists do
30 report or not, II Is not likely that the
trial will be resumed. for should the
jury agree upon a conviction in any de-
gree II Will be but the beginning of a long
legal fight, in which the experts of the
land will figure. The question will be

Tnc law provides. that a trlal-Justlce
nay at any time, II n juror Is Ill or In
capacltated. or for any other good rea-
son. discharge the jury and order a new
trial Immediately or at some future time.
That Is probably what Justice Barrett
will do tomorrow morning.
OF course, the defense will except to
this ruling. Then they may sue out u
writ OF habeas corpus and demand the
liberation OF DIR Meyer on the ground
that he has once been placed in jeopardy
Of his life or liberty. or they may raise
this point as II special plea when DIR.

The well-to-do people of the cities, the
professional and business men, have al
ready laid IN stock of liquors. enough to
last a year or more, and If they run out,
can import from the outside, for there is no
way to keep man out of the possession Of
liquor, provided he gets il in the 'original
package" Members Of clubs keep it at
the club rooms as of yore, only each man
has his individual bottle Or demijohn.
''in that part of the state bordering on
North Carolina the las can probably be en-
forced. Gov. Tillmsn would simply have
to keep an armt of 20o0 men TO patrol the
border so as TO prevent its introduction.
Negroes even are engaged in the smuggling
business, crossing the state line at night

acquaintance without fear of arrest
The saloon men in the city of Colum-
bia are obeying the Law, believing that it,
repeal is only question of time. As a

NKw YoRK, July 1.-THE preliminary
trials Of the engines Of the new United
States armofed cruiser Maine we're practi-
cally completed Saturday q the Brooklyn

Palmer. Jf., Company. the buikier Of the
engines, II xas said that % far - the CON
tractors we're concerned the Maine would
be ready for her ofSciAl dock srial wednes-
day.
The preliminary trials Of the engines
have EXTENDED over the last fortnight
Members Of the oflscial naval engineer
board have been in constant attendance up
On these trials and numerous indicator cards
vere taken By the naval engineers.
AT the Offices Of the n. =. Palmer, Jr.,
Company j; was aaid that series Of indica-
tor cards worked up during the last week
gave every indication that the engines Of
the Maine on trial would develop the re-
quired government specified $500 horse
power.
II Was announced BY naval engineers that
instructions received from the bureau OF
steam engineering of the navy department
directed the bosri members TO determine
during the coming official trial the ability of
the Maine's engines to develop sufficient
power 10 give an aggregate mean steam
pressure in the cylinders, when referred to
the area of the low pressure cylinders,
of 80 pounds per square inch.
The late instructions 10 the board, II Is
said. apparently take into consideration the
improbahiiity of obtaining from the Maine's
engines the full government horsepower
required while the vessel 10 moored to a
dock and stationary.
From the showing Of the indicator cards
taken dnring the last week the Maine's en-
sines, il IL thought, will exceed the 5000
horse power development required. but 10
make sure of this, the sest for Development
must be made, engineers say, IN the deep
sea.
From the tenor Of the trial instructions
received from Commodore George W. Mel
Vile, the inference here on the part Of IA
val engineers Is that the navy department
Ill deem the dock triAl Of the engines of
the Maine satisfactory provided the aggre-
Kate mean steam pressure Of so pounds per
square inch when referred to the pressure
of the low pressure cylinder is obtained in
the cylinders.
Considerable difficulty Was experienced
in the preliminary trials Of the Names en-
gines in securing the vessel to the dock.
The heavy liues employed repeatedly
parted. BY next Wednesday. however, the
navy yard authorities hope to have the big
cruiser thoroughly anchored.
