A SENSATION.

A sensation resulted when, nfter the
Young of these bills, States Attorney
hern positively refused to draw the In
o:ctments In accordance with the wishes
OF the grand Jurors. For u time the
jurors pleaded with the States Attor-
ney TO make out the proper papers, but
he was deaf to all entreatles.
There Is no special reason for indict-
ing these men," said Mr.. Kern, las the
evidence against them is, In my opin-
lon' totally insufficient to warrant IL
conviction, and such indictment, If re-
turned. would hardly be worth the
paper on which ii was written. The
grand jurors can do as they please. but
SO long as l am here l shall refuse to
nave the indictments drawn. They can
taRe the case up again when my sue
cessor. Mr.. Dencen, takes hold. but |
snail not subscribe my name to any
such paper"
The jury then went to Judge Hutch
nson and Informed him thai they had
voted an indictment against the corpora
ton officers, but that the States At
torney had refused to draw Il UP.
II cannot find any law covering the
case, your Honor" said Assistant States
attorney Lynch. We might as well
Try TO convict n railroad company for
hauling goods which had been stolen
We'll, gentlemen" said Judge Hutch
inson, Mr.. Lynch has been drawing
indictments for long time, and knows
MS business. If he says no conviction
can be had j believe he Is right You
had better reconsider your action"
In accordance with the courts instruc-
tions the grand jury returned to their
rooms, and the bills voted earlier In the
DAY were all reconsidered

TO SPAIN
The Cuban Sympathy Resolution
Will Be Forwarded
Without Comment, Other Than Thai
the President is Asked to Do So.
State Department Officers Believe That
Cleveland Win Take No Responsibility
in tho Matter--Should Cuba lie Rec-
ognized Dimculties Would Arise.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-State depart.
ment officials do not believe that the
president will have any hesitation in
transmitting to the Spanish govern.
ment the Cuban resolution without
other comment than he is requested to
do SO by the action of congress. 1t is
believed that he will not take upon
himself any responsibility in the mat
ter, but will let the responsibility for
the reply which Spain can be relied
upon to make to rest wholly with con-
gress, the idea being that in pass.
ing what Is nothing more than a
resolution of sympathy the senate in
particular is not thoroughly advised
of the state of affairs in Cuba and the
manner in which the war is being con-
Quoted. Secretary Olney and the
president are thought to have fully in
formed themselves of the difficulties
which would arise If belligerency were
recognized by either the United States
or Spain or by BOTH With such rec.
ognition Spain would at once be alb
solved from all responsibility on ac-
count of losses by foreigners in the is
land either from destruction of prop
erty or loss of trade, while it was not
seen that the insurgents could gain
by it. They also keenly appreciated
that while it might be possible to COM
pei the Spaniards to conduct their war
fare in accordance with such human
attitude towards captives as is univers
ally recognized by civilized nations,
it would be impossible to undertake
the responsibility of guaranteeing the
same line of action by the insurgents.
This difficulty is heightened by the
fact that the Cubans have no uniforms
to distinguish them from lawlcss bands
which are profiting by the general de-
moralization of the island to piilage
and plunder broadcast
In the Franco o-German war the Ger
mans snot all the Fractireurs they
could catch without trial or investiga-
ton, and among the so-called belliger
ent rights in the combat of those. two
highly civilized nations either had the
right and exercised it to kill all spies,
dynamiters and others without uni
forms on sight. Unless the United
States can prevent the Cubans them
selves from carrying on barbarous
warfare state department officials de-
clare that an attempt to compel Spain
to act humanely will constitute di-
rect interference with Spanish sover-
eighty which is certainly not contcm-
plated

One of the Great Successes Of the Day.

During a recent interview with the
manufacturers Of "Battle AK" Plug
Tobacco they said they had been
amply repaid for the enormous amount
of money which they have spent for
newspaper advertising by wonderful
increase of business. They claim
that they have had an excellent op .
portunity to test the advantage OF
newspaper advertising, because ever
since they started, manufacturers of
other brands of plug tobaccos who
have for years made enormous profits
by giving to the consumers a small
piece of tobacco no better than
Battle Az" Immediately recognized
the fact that on account Of the super
ior quality and liberal sized piece of
"Battle Az" their business was in
great danger of being curtailed In
their endeavor to prevent this they
waged bitter war against the manu-.
facturers of "Battle AK" and resorted
to methods of all kinds which seem
questionable to business men who
possess a higher sense of honor and
fair dealing. Notwithstanding all this
handicap, the manufacturers of
Battle Az and through the medium
oftheir newspaper advertisements, were
able to tell the consumers of the high
grade and fine quality of "Battle AK
and the great economy derived from
using it, until to-day "Battle AK" is
pronounced by all the greatest success
on the market and more pounds of it
are sold than of any other brand OF
plug tobacco. So much for newspaper
advertising.
