AS to the trial, we wish to state that
while the evidence was such that we were
unable to, agree upon verdict, one thing
We did agree about and that is that the

The jurors were evidently of the opinion
that this statement was enough to give
the public st this time, and declining to
be interviewed, passed through the rear
door of the court room and took the freight
elevator to States Attorney Deneen's
room. Here they were given their vouch-
ers for the long service.

States Attorney Deneen. when asked as
to the probability of Luetgert being
brought before the court a second time.
When we will set at it, however, is
something cannot tell you now. We have
had nine weeks of this and 1 must have
couple of weeks rest. After that we will
look the ground over and get our evidence
together.

there never had been a trial The second
trial has no bearing whatever on the case

''Wfll you oppose motion to admit Luet-

THAT is something 1 cannot answer. It
is immature. 1 have not considered it,
There will undoubtedly be a motion made
to admit the prisoner to bail, and it is

may be taken in Judge TuthilFs court on u

When the order of Judge TuthiIl dis
charging the jury was made Luetgert stood
up with smile on his face, and nodded

of the mcrning'in conference with Secretar
les Alger and Long. The former was dis
cussing his annual report with the Presi-
dent. This report as we'll as that of all
the secretaries, Except Mr. Gage, becomes
part Of the Presidents message. In ad-
dition to what Secretary Alger may recon-
mend the President wants to keep posted
about army affairs that he may touch upon
them in his annual message. 1t Is supposed
that the conference of Secretary Long was
for the same purpose.
Assistant Secretary Day had few min
utes with the President. Judge Day leaves
tomorrow for Canton and will remain there
until after the election. He will not make
any speeches. 81 do rot think there is
any doubt of the outcome of the election

porter. The republicans are practically
assured OF a victory. The reports 1 re-

LONDON, October 21-The stanch resist
ance of the insurgent tribesmen when the
British forces stormed the Dargai Ridge
or the SANTANA Range yesterday afternoon
and the apparently heavy losses of the
British in that engagement are facts viewed
with serious msgving in London today
The insurgents We're evidently in great
force, for, in addition to being able to make
a stubborn stand against the British ad-
vance they had a contingent of 1900 men
to spare for flank movement. None of
the stories of this fierce engagement sug-
gest any decentralization of the enemy, who
retired IN good order and proceeded to con-
struct fresh defensive works on the ad-
jacent hills, showing that Afridiland will
probably have to be conquered yard by
yard.
The news of the messing of the Afridis
in the Sampagha Pass and the report that
are also most disquieting.
Plan of Campaign Criticised.
The newsp ,pers here criticise the plan
OF campaign which apparently necessitates
capturing the same ground twice. as the
Dargai Ridge, which was carried on Mon
day only to be left for the tribesmen to re-
occupy on Tuesday. But it appears that
the British force which first captured the
ridge was rot provided with commissariat
supplies. and the difficulties of forwarding
them frcm tie base were insurmoun' able.
