continued to hang about the court
house in the belief that the jury
would be out but a short time.
At 2:OS o'clock Deputy Vail was
informed by a knock on the door of
the jury room that a verdict had
been agreed upon.
The news was Immediately COM
municated to Judge Smith, who at
once repaired to the court room.
When he assembled the bench he
issued strict orders that no specta-
tors be admitted.
Besides Judge Smith and Harry
Hayward, there were present only
the reporters, police deputies and
clerks.
A few minutes slipped away in OPP
nressive silence, while the court
waited for the jury and attorneys to
arrive.
Finally the jurors filed slowly into
the room and took their seats. The
awful import of the verdict that
Foreman Mcneil clutched in his
hand was apparent in the solemnity
of his aspect.
Two minutes later. and at exactly
2;3O O clock, the prisoner came hastily
into the room. His face was flushed
with excitement, but he betrayed lit
tie nervousness. He stepped quickly
to his seat in front of the jurors and
threw off his overcoat. AS he did
SO he dropped his hat, crushing the
crown. He picked it up hurriedly,
and looked angrily at the jury. In
an instant he had read his fate. He
breathed heavily, and a look of de-
ffance and abject misery played
over his pale face, which was glow
ing with suppressed excitement.

While not desiring to discuss the
verdict to any great length, they all
expressed themselves as pleased
with the treatment they had re-
ceived from both the court and the
attorneys, as we'll as from the hotel
where they were stopping. They
had one corner of the second floor TO

urious style.
Juror Dyer was quite exhausted by
the severe strain of the last four
days, and was taken to bed imme-

work. He expects, however, to be
taken home to Excelsior this morn

exception of the trouble to his foot.
Jurors Webb and Philbrick devoted
their jury fees, which they collected
yesterday, to the payment of their
taxes, so that they and the county,

Just in front of him sat Attorney
Shumaker. He turned to Harry, and
half whispered: It's guilty, Harry;

in a husky voice, while the color

The other jurors moved uneasily
in their seats, and showed plainly
the awful responsibility which rested
upon them.
The scrap of paper which meant
life or death was handed to the clerk
and even in that moment the gam
bling instinct in Hayward's nature
cropped out The terror faded from
his face and a curious expression of
interest succeeded it. He viewed it
but as the turn of a card, which
meant win or lose. This is not
strange. At the Jail, after the morn

Harry T Hayward has been found
guilty of the murder of Catherine
Cling by jury of his peers.
The jury was out exactly three
hours. The first vote stood eleven
for conviction and one for acquittal.
Juror Dickey was the only man who
raised his voice for human life.
The condemned man heard the
news in sullen silence, but the look
of an animal hunted to its death
cleaned from his eyes.
Albert H Hall asked for an i'm
mediate sentence, but at the request
of John Day Smith the court granted
a stay until Monday morning.
Attorney Erwin is seriously ill in
St. Paul, and was not present when
the verdict was announced.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning
Mr.. Erwin finished his address. The

vANDERBlLT'S MILLIONS,
While Lavished on His Daughter, Can Not
be SOuanderpd.


New YORK, Oct. 27.-In arranging
the settlements preparatory 10 the Van
erbilt-Marlborough wedding there
were three family lawyers engaged.
Col. William Jay represented Mrs.
Vanderbilt; Chauncey NJ. Depew rep
resented Mr.. Vanderbilt, and R. Hard
ing Milward acted for the duke of
Marlborough.
1t has been reported that Miss Van
derbilts marriage portion would be
$40, 600, 900. 1t is now learned that prince
ly as was Mr.. Vanderbilt's settle
ment upon his daughter, it has a
condition attached to it, namely, that
the income from the $4,000, 900 shall
be for the use of the future duchess
during her lifetime. At her death the
principal goes to the issue of her mar
riage with the duke of Marlborough.
1t is understood that upon his side
the prospective bridegroom decided
to Miss Vanderbilt large estates
in England, which have been
in his family for years. While
the intrinsic value of these
estates may not be equal to Mr.. Van
derbilts gift to his daughter, yet they
have heretofore always been consid-
cred too valuable to be permitted to
pass out of the Marlborough family.
Mr.. Milward, who arranged all these
matters for the duke, is resident of
Birmingham. He was the counsellor
of the father and grandfather of the
present duke.

LATIN AMERICAN UNITY


European NatlOnS
CHICAGO, Oct. 90. "A special to the
Evening Press from Washington says:
"There will be highly important
meeting OF representatives OF the
Latin American countries one day this
week." said an attache of one of the
South American legations yesterday
"a cable dispatch announced that
Brazil will call convention of South
American republics to consider Eu
ropean aggressions.
This is true in part, but the fact is,
nearly every South American repre-
sentative here has been recalled by his
home government to joiu with the 9th
ers in presenting the position of Latin
America on this subject to the United
States.
THE diplomatic meeting this week
will be the first step toward a unity OF
American republics for the purpose Of
resisting European aggression. Every
republic on this continent, not even
excepting Chilli, looks to the United
States to enforce the spirit of the
Monroe doctrine.
The meeting this week is for consul
tation, and the outcome will be an Of
fetal notification to the United States
of the position of South America.
Later, it is understood, there will be
a convention in Rio Janeiro in which
every Latin-American country vii
take part, when an alliance may bt
formed which will be more formidable
than any which has ever before beer
suggested on this continent"

THE BOUNDARY DISPUTE.

President Cleveland Intimates that II May
Soon be Arbitrated. - He is Thought to
Have Received Some Verbal Assurances
From Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
Ambassador.
+ CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-A Washington
special says: President Cleveland
hopes to have the pleasure of tn
nouncing in his next message to con-
gress that the Venezuelan boundary
dispute has been referred to COM
mission OF arbitration. 1t is learned
that the president gave vent to this
optimistic view Of the situation at the
cabinet meeting last Friday, and sur
prised nearly every member OF the
cabinet
Secretary Olney. of course, has been
on the inside of the situation, and
agrees with the president as to the
probability OF an amica BILE settlement.
1t is hard for anyone on the outside
to conceive upon what basis the presi-
dent POUNDS his hopes There has
been no official correspondence on the
subject since Secretary Olney's COM
prehensive brief, setting forth the
points we contended for, went to Am
bassador Bayard early in August. 1t
is the presumption that the president
has received some secret verbal assur-
ances, through the British ambassa-
dor, Sir Julian Pauncefote, that have
led him to look forward to favorable
solution OF the question.
1t is conceded by politicians here
that it would be great triumph for
Mr.. Cleveland If Great Britain would
consent to arbtrate the question. AT
present many republican guns are di-
rected on the president and his secre-
tary Of state on account of the policy
of the administration, which the re-
publican managers consider vulnera-
BILE point for attack.
Resolutions of inquiry and other
similar missives will be aimed at the
White House by Congressman Boutelle
and his followers, with the idea of
creating campaign material, and there
will be strong political play upon the
Monroe doctrine. The consent OF
Great Britain to arbtrate the Vene-
zuelan dispute would forestall much
campaign thunder.

A SERIOUS LOSS.
The Public Hall and ROtunda of the Uni
versity of Virginia Burned.


versity OF Virginia Burned.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct 29.-The
University of Virginia suffered great
loss by fire Sunday. The local fire de-
partment was unable to cope with the
flames. and assistance was obtained
from Staunton and Lynchburg, which,
however. arrived too late to save the
public hall and the rotunda. The fire
started in the former building,
and large quantity OF dynamite
was used on the portico between the
rotunda and the public hall, but, be-
yond displacing the large pillars, moth
ing was accomplished.
Attention was then given to the
buildings known as "Old Chapel" and
Reading Room. These were watched
and the fire was confined to the hall
and rotunda. The library containing
about Sl5, 900 worth of books, statues,
paintings, etc., was in the rotunda. An
effort to save these resulted in the res
cue of Jeffersons statue and three
fourths of the books. Everything else
was burned. At9 o'clock the fire was
under control. The lecture-room was
destroyed, and everything in the room,
including geological library of great
value A painting. entitled "The School
of Athens" a copy of the celebrated
production by Raphael, was consumed.
The total loss is estimated at not less
than 100000, with an insurance of
se5, OCO on the buildings and contents.
The origin of the fire is not known.

QUEEN VICTORIA.

Alleged to be Passing Through Another
Period of Semi-Inssnity-The Matter
said to be Kept as Quiet In England
as PossibIe-A Legacy From George III.
New YORK, Oct. 26.-Iiarold Frederic
cables to the New York Times: There
seems to be no doubt that Queen Vic
toria is passing again through one of
those phases Of semi-insanity which
recall that she is granddaughter Of
George III. Rumors began to circulate
in London week ago that things
were wrong, and modified form
Of them has been printed In
Dublin, but nowhere else, al
though private letters from Scotland
show that it is common knowledge
there. II seems to have had its origin
in the death of young nephew Of
John Brown. who had some obscure
post about Balmoral, but for whom the
queen burst forth in vehement
mourning which took all by surprise.
Since then she. has been going to his
grave and to Browns in all weather
and doing other extraordinary things.
The matter has hardly yet become
generally known in England, and per-
haps it will pass off again without pub
lie mention as in former years.

BICYCLE IN THE ARMY.
1t May Soon Supplant tho Horse OF tho
Cavalry Courier.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29 The bicycle is to
supplant the horse in certain branches
Of army service. Gen. Miles has always
been its advocate, and since he as
sumed command of the army he has
been planning for its more general
use. He is said to have completed
book on bicycle tactics and to be pre-
pairing special report to the secretary
of war, urging that the army be sup
piled with number of wheels and
that they be distributed at the larger
posts, where they might be used for
the transportation of orders, doing
away with the present system of cav
airy couriers.
Gen. Miles is not alone in this effort.
Brig. Gen. A. W. Greedy chief-signal
officer of the army, urges the adoption
OF the bicycle. In all there are over 100
bicycles now in use in the signal corps,
located at the most isolated stations.
In the military department OF Texas
the horse has been discarded by the
signal corps.
Secretary Lamont Is said to favor
the scheme, as he is convinced that it's
adoption will be great saving to the
army appropriation.
