LUETGERT TRIAL.
Members Of the Jury Inspect the
Sausage Factory.

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Judging from
the small crowd in attendance at Tue
opening Of the Luetgert trial, puolic
interest in the proceedings has falleh
off greatly. The courtroom was not
more than half filled when Attorney
Harmon resumed his opening address
for the defense.
Immediately after the conclusion Oh
Mr.. Harmons speech the court ao-
journed for the day, and the members
of the Jury We're driven to the sausage
factory. where they spent the afternoon
inspecting the gloomy cellars and sau-
sage vats, in one of which Luetgert Is
charged with having placed the deao
body of his wife and boiled her to
pulp. They were accompanied by fVe
court bailiffs, and We're not allowed
to converse about the case among
themselves. Lawyer Harmon wlsheo
to accompany the jury, but Judge Gary
vetoed this.
The defense, it is said, will make
strong effort to expunge all testimony
in the present trial that is not given
in English. Many of the most I'M
portant witnesses for the prosecution
in the former trial required lnterpfe-
ters. and Lawyer Harmon Will hght
hard to have this kind of testimony

SUBURBAN MAIL. SERVICE.
Extension of the Free Delivery Sys-
tenn Outside Warrington.


Superintendent Machen of the free de-
livery service proposes to take up the
question Of extending free delivery to SUBJ
urban settlements outside of this city and
within the District Of Columbia. immediate
ly after the beginning nf the next fiscal
year. The people Of Brikhtwood and Ten
leytown have made repeated efforts to
have free delivery extended into their sec
tions, but the lack of funds has thus far
prevented favorable action being taken
upon their requests. The appropriations
which will be available for free delivery
service after July will not be large, SO
that but little can be done In making such
extensions about this city. but limited ex-
tensions will be made.
The extensions well depend upon Mr..
Machen's investigation into the conditions
of the suburbs. The amount of business
now transacted at suburbs and other COLI
siderauons will determine where extern
sions will be made. SubAtatioais or stamp
stations may be established at suburban
points or the malls may be delivered to
carriers along electric lear lines for dis
tribution.
The Post ONCE Department has been
doing considerable In extending free de-
livery to the suburbs OF all the large cities
of the country. and the interests of the
District of Columbia would have been look
ed after long ago had the appropriations
been sufficient to permit OF expenditures on
that account.

Has Concession From Mexico to
Explore Mineral Islands.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, June THE
schooner Emma and Louisa sailed for
Guaymas. Mexico, a few days ago, laden
with lumber. Beyond this commonplace
trading purpose, however, is an exploring
expedition, of which Jesse D. Grant Of San
Diego. son of the late Gen. Grant, Is the
hacker.
Some months ago Grant obtained a con-
cession from the Mexican government to
explore all the islands of the Gulf of Cali
fornia lying north of the Goth degree Of
latitude. he to have all the guano and min
erals discovered, the Mexican government
to receive ~ per cent of the proceeds.
The 10Th degree divides Tiburon Island,
which is inhabited by the man-eating tribe
of Ceris Indians, and 1t is proposed to
prospect the northern half for minerals.
Angel de la Guaredia, the largest island,
is entirely within the Grant concession.
1t is believed the island is rich in minerals,
although it has never been thoroughly eX-
plored.

Looking Forward to the Arrival of

The White House will be the center of
interest tomorrow, inasmuch as Commis-
sioner Calhoun is expected to reach WASH
ingtol within the next few hours and to
almost Immediately visit the President to
unfold to him some of the particulars Of
his trip to Cuba. How soon after the con-
ference between the commissioner and the
President will there be developments Is not
known. 1t is not officially suggested that
the President will take action Immediately
upon his return from Nashville In fact,
the best information is that the President
will be In no hurry and that there will be
no developments which will reach the pub-
lie for some time

row he will invite the commissioner to ac-
company him Fart Of the way. If, how
ever, tie1e is time for 4 satisfactory con-
ference tomorrow Mr.. Calhoun will not go
on the TIP. No provision has been inade
Tor his making the trip, and UP to today
tie question of his going has not been con-
teTpla:ec.
The President has delayed the appoint
ment Oh a minister to Spain until after
he talks with Mr.. Calhoun. Their, is
possibility that minister will be nominat-
ed tomorrow or the day OF the t!epar-
ture OF the President, but this is subject
TO the alteration OF Many circumstances
Before his departure the President will he
pressed with vast amount OF work In
addition he will want time to digest what
Commissioner Calhoun says. The fitness
OF everything VIII have to be considered,
together with multitude of things.
Spain's Policy to Remain Unchnuged.
Secretary Sherman has received the fol-
lowing cable message from Minister Tay-
lor, at Madrid, in regard to the latest de-
velopments in the Spanish minis .erial
crises:
Queen regent has expressed unuualified
approval of present Cuban policy by reap
pointing CanovaS ministry unchanged as
that was the only question really involved"
Ihis Official communication is considered
highly significant. In diplomatic circles il
Is taken to mean that there is no possi-
cinty OIL any improvement in the Cuban
situation SO far as the Spanish government
Is concerned. To that extent il will sim
pi.1y the purposes of President Mckinley

Ialrs on the island from MIR. Calhoun.
