POSTPONED TILL MAY.
JUDGE GRossCUP CONTINUES THE
DEBS CASE.
Dramatic Scene Follows the Dis
charging OF the Jury-Profound
Admiration for Debs Shown by
the jurors.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Judge Grosscup has
postponed the Debs trial until the first
Monday in May. He discharged the
jury today on account of the serious
illness of Juror Coe.
A dramatic scene followed the de-
cisiOn of Judge Grosscup discharging
the jury. The jurymen left their seats,
and while some stopped to shake Judge
Grosscup's hand the majority of them
hurried to where the prisoners were
seated and surrounded Debs. They
slapped him on the back. shook hands
with him again and again, and eX-
pressed profound admiration for his
bearing during the trial
"Debs," said Juror Baird, "When this
trial opened L was in favor of giving
you a five year sentence, but now l am
anxious to see you free"
Similar expressions were heard from
the other jurors and it was evident
that the case would have resulted in an
acquittal had it not ended in a mistridl
The attorneys for the defense were
crestfallen at the sudden ending of the
case. All expressed the opinion that
victory was in sight for the defendants
when Juror Goes Illness stopped the
proceedings.
The defendants were equally sorry
that the trial could not proceed. Debs
expressed himself as confident that he
and his associates would have been ac-
quilted. The continuance of the case
leaves the American Railway Union
| directors free, temporarily, but under
two bail bonds each.
The appeal from the contempt SEN
fences is still pending in the supreme
court, where each defendant is under
bonds and the Bail in the present, OF
conspiracy, case will stand until the
trial is resumed next May.

TWAS GODS WORK.
WATTERSoN,s ELOQUENT TRIBUTE
TO LINcoLN's GENIUS.
The Commanding Powers of the Rail
Splitter, and the Breadth and Lib
crafty of His Nature--At Other
Places.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Henry Watterson
delivered an address tonight on Abra-
ham Lincoln before Lincoln Council
of the National Union. The address
was delivered in the Auditorium which
was filed to the doors. The speaker
paid an eloquent tribute to the COM
nanding powers Of Lincoln, and to the
breadth and hberality of his nature.
Speaking of the famous Hampton
Roads conference, when Mr.. Lincoln
met the agents of the confederacy re-
garding terms on which peace could be
arranged, MIR. Watterson said:
Mr.. Lincoln had intimated that pay
ment for the slaves was not outside
the possible agreement for reunion and
peace. / am not going to tell any tales
out of school. l am not here for con-
.troversy. But when we are dead and
gone the private memorabilia of those
who knew what terms were really Of
fered the confederacy, within ninety
days Of its total COLLAPSE, will show
of them, the wisdom Of the situation
said Accept"
Mr.. Watterson concluded as follows:
Born as lowly as the son of God,
in howell. of what ancestry we know
not and care not, reared in penury,
SquaIor, with no gledm OF Hgnt OF Idlr
surroundings; without external graces.
actual or acquired, without name or
fame or official training; it was re-
served for this strange being, late in
life, to be snatched from obscurity,
raised to supreme. command at a SUI
preme moment and entrusted with the
destiny of the nation.
Where did Shakespeare get his
genius? Where did Mozart get his
music? Whose hand smote the Tyre of
the Scottish plowman and staid the life
of the German priest? God, God, and
God alone; and so surely as these were
raised up by God, inspired by God,
was Abraham Lincoln, and a thousand
years hence no story. no tragedy, no
epic poem will be filed with greater
wonder or be followed by mankind
with deeper feeling than that which
tells Of his life and DEATH"
The Marquette club held banquet
at the Grand Pacific hotel in honor of
Lincoln. The principal addresses were
made by George D. Peck, of Chicago;
Charles w. Anderson. Of New York;
Congressman John Dalzell, of Pennsyl-
vania; Hon. Frank ]. Cannon, of Salt
Lake; Congressman Couzins, Of Iowa.

A TICKER TRUST.
ELGIN AND WALTHAM COMPANIES
WILL CONSOLIDATE.
British Syndicute-A Valuation
of S16,Oo0,oOO.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-The Times says: The
Elgin National Watch company of Elgi1
Ill. and the WaItham Watch company,
! of Waltham, Mass. will in the near
future be consolidated and pass into the
possession of a British syndicate. The
valuation of the two properties is $16OO0.-

credit of the Elgin company and S7.OOO,O0O
TO the Waltham concern This sale 20 d
British syndicate and consequent con-
solidation was on the point of being COM
pleted last summer but failed, owing TO
the greatly disturbed condition of in
duStrY ard finance. An option was Sc
cured at that time, but the British in
yestors were cautious and preferred to
lose the profit rather than run the risk
of a large investment at time when
many Europeans believed the United
States was on the verge of financial and
social ruin.
| Negotiations were renewed at once,
however, and have progressed so far that
| there is today on deposit in a bank in
Chicago 100000 to bind the bargain and
secure the promoters commissions, and q
corresponding amount in bank in Bos-
ton.
The EIgin and WaItham factories turn
out about 50 per cent. of the total pro-
Duct OF watches in the United States,
more than half that amount being pro-
duced by the Elgin works, which erl-
| ptoys about 1900 hands.

10, THE POOR RED MAN
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE INDIAN
COMMISSIONERS.
Graphic Picture Drawn by Senator
the Territory Occupied and Owned
by the First Civilized Tribes a
Revelation to Many,

Washington, Feb. 12.-Secretary Hoke
Smith today made public the twenty
sixth annual report of the board of In
dian commissioners. Regarding the
purchase of supplies for the Indians,
the report says prices were surpris-
insly low. Last spring the contract
business was divided between New
York and Chicago. The commissioners
cannot see that anything was gained
By this arrangement, and say the di-
vision Of the work involves consider
able increase of expense.
The graphic picture drawn by Sen
ator Dawes Of the sad state of affairs
in the territory occupied and owned by
the first civilized tribes, was" the re-
port says, "to many, a new revelation.
Those Indians have so often been held
up as models Of civilization, conducting
a wise elf-goYernment, supporting
their own schools and courts of JUS
tice and enjoying ali the comforts of
home life, that it was surprising to
hear that courts and legislative bodies
are corrupt; that the public school sys-
TEN is primitive and inefficient; that the
lands belonging to the whole people by
treaty rights are, to a large extent,
dDSOIDeQ ny d lew SnLerprlSlnS ldlI-
breeds that have gained complete con-
troll, and pay no attention to the well
fare Of the great majority of the peo-
pie; that crime goes unpublished, and
that the white people who have settled
in the territory have no protection. But
all this has long been a familiar story
to us. We have repeatedly called at
tention to the deplorable facts"
The suggestion is made that Congress
exercise its sovereign right and take
control Of affairs there. The commits
sioner says the policy of alloting lands
in severalty is working we'll and that
under it individual Indians are slowly
learning lessons of independence and
self-relfance: but legislation is recon-
mended to prevent the sale Of intoxi-
cants to these Indians, and to REIN
burse the states for revenue lost
through these lands being non-taxable.
Education is reported as having stead
lily improved among the Indians, and
in closing the commissioner recon-
mends application of the civil service
law to the Indians.

New York, Feb. 12.-Long before the
hour for La Gascogne to pass, every
point of vantage along the North river
was occupied.
The roofs of all the pier sheds We're
/ black with people, and the battery was
lined ten feet deep with spectators.
AS the big ocean greyhound came
into sight. a mighty cheer arose from
more than thousand Threats.
| Meanwhile the throngs of people I'M
able to secure positions on the water
front, marched along West street,
keeping pace with the slow progress
of the steamer.
1 Panorama of Joyous Faces.
| It was 1920 o'clock when the big,
black hull ran alongside the end Of
her pier.
The crowd gave three wild cheers,
and began rushing to get as near her
as they could. But, of course, she was
not to land there, and then the crowd
surged and shifted back under the
! dock again. The tugs were pulling and
pushing the big steamer about so as to
run her into the slip. AS the steamer
| gEded past the gang-plank, opening
| her decks, which were crowded with
people, she presented a moving pan
Drama of joyous faces.
| At intervals the loud-voiced crowd
! burst forth into cheers.
Crowd Thick and Eager.
| Captain Baudelon was discovered
standing serenely at his post on the
! bridge. Three cheers We're given him.
The captain smiled.
! At 1870 the liner was made fast and
the vessel became stationary.
| The crowd was SO thick and so eager
that at first the deck hands could not
| get at the gang-plank. When at last
! they did lift it, they lifted half a dozen
people with it.
| 1t was Just 1879 when the first pas
senger stepped down the gang-plank,
| He was seized by the wild, bowling
crowd. He looked very glad to get on
shore. He was a young man, dressed
| in big fur-trimmed oVercoat. The
next was a big man. His wife was in
tears at the foot of the plank.
Then the Crowd Cheered.
The third was a young and pretty
), girl, and before she reached the bot
/ tom she was seized and madly kissed
by a young man with a little NOUS
tache. The crowd yelled with delight
and gave more cheers. a great many
| of the crowd tried to board the vessel.
The officers tried to restrain the
crowd, and forbade their stepping on
the plank But they clambered over
| the dry goods boxes and jumped down
on the plank from above and thus
stole their way on board, despite the
| officers.
All Kissed Him at Once.
! Then Captain Baude1on came strid-
ling down the plank, with his head I'M
lowered, smiling and bowling from
right to left.

of violets. He deity caught it and
held them to his face as he stepped
down toward the crowd. Here he was
seized by eager hands on all sides and
pulled this way and that. Every one
tried to get one of his hands, the
women in the crowd being the more
Idemonstrative in this respect. They
all kissed him at once

lsoon as landed the passengers hurried
through the crowd and drove off. It
