A SENSIBLE JUROR.

A New York juror has given an exhibd-
ton of intelligence and independence OF
spirit that is positively refreshing and dmight
be profitably initiated by other good men
and true in the country. In the course OF
trial one of the lawyers asked witness
a number of trivial questions, such as the
color of her grandmother's hair, when the
window, famed himself with newspaper
and gave other Indications OF being intensely
bored. The presiding judge at last rebuked
him for his unprecedented conduct, when
the juror rema rkej thatin all his experience
he had never seen such an absurd proceed
ing, and that the lawyer had been asking
silly questions and wasting time.
Such a scene as this might be duplicated
in almost any courtroom in the United
States. Listening 10 some Cross-examina-
tion in an important trial cannot fail TO
make the judicious grieve, and IL is no won
der that jurors lose essential points OF the
evidence in the mass of trivialities with
which the examination is generally loaded
down. 1t is more than surprising that pro-
test is not more frequently made by jurors
against such silly and utterly indefensible
waste of time. Perhaps the New York
juror-may his tribe increase!-has set an
example that will prove infectious, and
judgesas we'll as scounselmaytak Ike thelesson
TO heart which his somewhat informal, but
nevertheless sensible, protest has taught.

UNIVERSITY NEEDS MONEY
Johns Hopkins Is in Serious Finan-
cial Straits.
Passing of the Baltimore and Ohio
pied the Institution's Income.

Baltimore, Md, May 25.-The agitation
over President Giliuan's possible departure
from Johns Hopkins University has re-
suited in opening the eyes OF the univer-
sity's friends in this city TO its serious
financial embarrassment.
During the last lew years the work Of
the university has been hampered in ways
not appreciable by those who merely take
the steady, Regular movements OF its out
ward history as IA Criterion. Since 1888.
when the stress came upon the Baltimore K
Ohio railroad. the income of the institution
from that source has been sadly crippled.
The passing Of the road into the hands
Of receivers was hard blow. The largest
part of its endownments is invested in
common and preferred stock OF the railroad,
including about Sl,1G0,00U of the former
and $3.50, 900 OF the latter.
The Uuiversity's annual expenditures
for many years have been about SloO,COO,
but the failure of the Baltimore and Ohio
TO pay dividends leaves that institution
with an income of not more than 100000
each year. This Is supplied by tuition ices
from the students and by ground rents and
other property owned in this city. Only
a small portion OF the 100000 recently
received from the sale OF Clifton Park has
been invested
At the meeting of trustees Saturday it
IS stated that DR.. Gilman made his position
very clear. He would remain at the head
Of the institution provided its finances were
pot in good shape. The trustees. believing
that without DR.. Gilman a the helm. the
institution, which in twenty years has
become one of the NEST famous Of the
worlds schools. might possibly be Obliged
TO close its doors or TO retTcnch so as to
seriously impair its usefulness, decided 10
at once secure sufficient money to tide the
university over its difficulties.
Six years ago, when the University was
in a similar emergency, through the fail
ure of the same railroad company to pay
dividends, its friends subscribed $780,
600 to keep its activity unimpaired. This
lime it is proposed to secure suhscrip-
lions to the amount Of $50 eco annually
.or five years. to be applied in the same
manner. In five years il is believed that
The reorganization of the Baltimore and
Ohio will have heen completed. and the
road once more put upon a paying basis.
Today the alumni OF the university met
N Mccoy Hall. and formulated plans 10
start subscription papers. Tomorrow a
meeting OF business men will be held al the
Merchants Club for the same purpose.
There 5 no doubt the needed money will he
subscribed. and that DR.. Gilman will with
draw his name from consideration by the
New York board OF education.

SPANISH BLOCKADE FARCE

On land and sea Spains attempt TO put
an end to the rebellion in Cuba is dis
mai failure. With 10000 men at his
command and all the accessories for car
rying on an effective warfare, Weyler is
unable TO crush the insurgent forces, and
Spanish warships forming Gordon around
the island have not been able to prevent
the landing of the majority of expeditions
sent to carry aid to the revOutionists.
The last-mentioned circumstance argues
either gross negligence or gross incapacity
on the part OF the Spanish naval COM
manders, for on no other hypothesis can
their failure 10 intercept such expeditions
a that of the Bermuda, the Laurada, the
Three Friends, the Horsa, and other less
famous filibusters be reasonably explained.
A large fleet of Spanish cruisers and
gunboats is watching the shores of Cuba
in order 10 prevent any succor reaching
the insurgents from the United States.
They may not be as swift as are the YES
scis that have carried the various expe-
ditions. but what they lack in this respect
they make up in numbers. But one other
tutiT lEtiltttiNtHtcS
and that reason is Wcyler himself. He may
possibly be afraid lest in the absence of
any of his cruisers and gunboats while
chasing some filibuster craft the insur-
gents might decide upon some aggressive
movement of large dimensions and play
havoc with the Spanish troops. He relies
upon the aid the long range guns of the
war vessels could give Tim in case of
conflict near the shore. and hence does not
wish them to 20 far from the island. The
fact that the cruiser Reina Mercedes, on
which Weylcr embarked for the brief trip
from Havana to Bahia honda kept SO close
to the shore as to run aground and thus
compel hun 20 desist from has plan.
may be taken as reasonable proof of the
correctness of this assumption.
Rarely before i'll the history Of the world
has there been an instance of so much impo-
tenCe IN the efforts "f a governmental sup
press rebellion. The flower OF Spain's
army and the larger part OF her navy are in
vain tr.iug to reduce $4,000 incnmpletely
equipped insurgents to subjeCtiun. II
would be a howling farce but for the terrible
loss of human life aud the brutality OF Span
iSh soldiers to non-ConIbatants.

WHY NOT IOWNDESn

From the sad sea waves on New Jerseys
shore the story is waited that at a confer
encc OF Maryland Republicans held there it
was decided that GOV Lowndesi is good tim
ber for the Republican nomination for Vice
President. and that result OF that con-
suItation MaTylandS Chief magistrate has
announced himself a fuI!-fledged car, .,tdate
for second place on the Republican ticket.
II must be confessed that the news of this
candidacy is more than ordinarily Interest,"
ing, not so much by reason of the PERSONAL
ity OF the candidate, as on account of the
State which would be honored through his
selection. There would seem to be eminent
fitness in the choice If the convention should
conclude that the time has come for giving
the South recognition as a factor in Re
publican politics.
For some years the claim of Southern
Republicans has been put forward hatthey
ought to be recognized in the making up
of the national ticket. but it has always
been opposed upon the ground that the
Southern delegates were unable to de
liver goods - in other words, that the
chances of any Southern State joining the
Republican column were exceedingly slen-
der. Whatever may have been true in the
past in this respect has lost some of its
force by the results of the election of last
November. Maryland and Kentucky both
broke away from the Democratic column,
and in other States south of Mason and
Dixon's line there were large defectiOnS
from the Democratic forces. With view,
therefore. to encouraging the Republicans
OF the South aud promoting the growth Of
the party there, it would look like good
policy to take he candidate for Vice Prcsi-
| dent from that section.
In such a contingency Maryland would
appear to have first claim to consideration.
The Republicans of our neighbor State have
fought their fight unwearyingly ever since
the Republican party first sprang into life,
and from Henry Winter Davis down to the
present have rarely failed to be represented
in Congress. At the last election they broke
all former records and effected a pOliti-
cal revolution with the aid of disgruntled
Democrats, it is true-which may anchor
Maryland permanently in the Republican
column. Kentucky, of course, has also put
forth claims, but they hardly are as forci-
bic as those of Maryland. There would be
both logic and policy in selecting the Vice
Presidential candidate from there, and if
this were done, Governor Lowndes, ofcourse,
would have the call.

TO PRACTICE TORPEDO FIRING.
North Atlantic Squadron Goes to Sea
fnr IlIS PurunSe-


New York. May 25.-Rear Admiral Bunce,
who commands the North Atlantic alton,

nate by signal the vessel selected to dis
charge a torpedo at the mark, the distance
at which the missile is to be launched and
the espeed Of the ship at the moment oflaunch.
The vessels are fitted with automobile
torpedocs of the Whitehead tyEe. They Can
he set to run at any depth under water,
and regulated so as to come to the surface
