DEBS JURY DISCHARGED.
Much Disappointed, as He Expected
an AcQuittaL.

CHICAGO, February 12.-Judge Gross
cup has postponed the Debs trial until the
first Monday in May. He discharged the
jury today or account Of the serious i'll
ness of Juror Coe, and new jury will be
summoned when the case is again put on
trial.
A dramatic scene followed the decision 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 We're sitting and surrounded
Debs. They slapped him on the back, shook
hands with him again and again, and eX-
pressed profound admiration for his bear
ing during the trial.
"Debs," said Juror Baird, when this
trial opened I was in favor of giving you
a five-years' sentence, but now 1 am anx-
lCus to see you Free
similar expressions were heard from the
other jurors, and 1T was evident that the
case would have resulted in an acquittal
had it not ended in mistrial.
The attorneys for the defense were crest
fallen at the sudden ending of the case, all
expressing the opinion that victory was in
sight for the defendants when Juror Goes
illness stopped the proceedings.
The defendants were equally sorry the
case had not proceeded. Debs expressed
himself as confident that he and his asso-
ciateS would have been acquitted.
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 or con-
spiracy case will stand until the trial is
resumed next May.

ing the past week his son, who is a student
at Yale, has been in the hotel anXiouSly

spirits up, but yesterday morning. when no
news of the Gascogne was to be had, he
gave up and told the young man he had

reached New Haven when the good news
came over the wire When young McLana-

At Havre, the home port of the Cas-

felt than in Paris. The wives and children
of the officers and crew Of the steamer
mostly reside there, and their anxiety of
the past few days, when daily informed at
the company's Office that nothing had been
heard OF the steamer, was most marked
and excited the sympathy of all who wit
EeSsed 1T. When they learned that dis
patch reporting the safety of the vessel
had arrived they hurried to the office, ana
the report was read to them. The glad
den1ng intelligence was too much for their
pent-up feelings and they all gave way
TO fearful expression Of joy, deeply NOV
ing all who witnessed the scene. The news
or the safety of the steamer afforded great
pleasure in all shipping and business cir
cles.
LONDON, February 1o-The first report
received here last night OF the safety of

AGAIN At HER PIER.
ihe GascOgnc Has II TriumphnI Pro-
Srcss Up the Bay.


NEW YORK, February 12-Although La
Gascogno was not expected at her dock
before II or l o'clock a thousand people
were at the pier at the foot of Morton
street by 9 o'clock this morning, struggling
Tor abundance to the landing. A special
detachment of policemen formed a line
across the entrance to the pier and had
all they could do to keep back those who
had no business on the dock. A tug was
engaged early this morning in clearing the
slip of ice so that the big steamer can tie
up when she reaches her dock. The crowd
continued to grow all the time and prom
lsed to number several thousands by the
time La Gascogne arrived.
The Gascogne reached quarantine at 10
O'Clock and an hour later passed the bat
terry on her way to her dock. The passage
or the steamer from quarantine to her pier
was somewhat in the nature of a triumphal
progress. Every steam craft in the chan
rel and along the river Saluted the belated
steamer with whistles and many flags were
dipped to her as she passed. She showed
no signs of i'll usage. Arriving at the pier
at the foot of Morton street the passengers
were disembarked and received the joyous
greeting of the great crowd in waiting
there,
