DICKINSON JURY WRESTLED IN
VAIN TO REACH A VER-
DICT.
CASE CONTINUED A TERM.
STOOD TEN TO TWO FOR AC-
QUITTAL.
FATE OF A LONELY BATHER.
John Lepl<e Drowned I'm the Missis-
sippi-Newc 80 the Mill
City.

The jury in the case of the state
against Aid. c. E. Dickinson, accused
of bribery, failed to agree and was
yesterday discharged by Judge Ell
lott. 1t developed that the sticking
point was the corroborating evidence,
which they did not think strong
enough.
At the outset, the vote stood seven
for acquittal, five for conviction. Short
ly there were but four men for the
state, Jurors Clough, Clerihew, Thayer
Hall. Thayer left first, and finally
Clerihew, leaving only H. G. Clough
and ]. II. Hall for the state, and thus
it stood at the end.
Speaking of the cross point, one of
the best posted attorneys at the bar,
and once a Judge, said:
The jury made the mistake of
thinking they had to decide law points.
If 1t was normally certain that Dick
inson received the money, then they
should have voted guilty, for the
court alone has to say if the verdict
is sustained by the evidence. The
jury should have borne in mind that,
in the famous New York aldermanic
Doodle cases, the courts held that the
action of the city council, and it's vote
alone, was sufficient confederation. In
the Dickinson case they not only had
the action of the council, but several
other branches also. In fact, 1t is
hardly possible to get stronger corrob-
grafton of bribery than in this case
The court continued the case over the
term.

CRISIS PROGRESSES.
DR.. Miguel Must Wait a Time for n
Prom OtiOn

BERLIN, June 3O.-The German cabinet
crisis has made further progress. Dr. Bnch-
enberger, minister of finance in the Grand
Duchy of Baden, has declined the secretary
ship of the imperial treasury vacated by
Count Posadowsk i-Wehner, probably fearing
the fate of Baron Marshall Won Bierber-
stein. 1t is also expected that Freiherr
Badiner, president Of Dusseldorf, will sue
coed Count Posadowski- Wehner Dr. MIGUEL
will retain the Prussian portfolio of finance
and, as senior member of the cabinet will
assume the office of vice president of the
Prussan ministry. This, is is believed COM
pletes the changes for the present The
emperor being reluctant to repeat the dra-
matte features that accompanied the re-
movals of Prince Bismarck and Count Ca
priyi, more gradual methods are now en-
ployed.
DR.. MIGUEL will have to wait for a new crisis
in order to get higher promotion but nobody
expects that this is far distant though for
the moment matters have been smoothed over
Prince Hohenlohe will start tomorrow for n
vacation OF several weeks at Schillingsfurst
and Aussee. The ministerial Post in a 81 al
hcant and probably inspired article declares
that without doubt Prince Hohenlohe Wis
tied Prince Bismarck with the emperors sane
ton, and that the visit therefore implies that
the Bfsmarckian traditions are still to de-
termine the foreign policy of the empire and
to lead 1t in the direction of keeping on
friendly terms with Russia.

THE WHEEL IN THE ARMY.
Its Utilization by French, German
and American Soldiers.

Its Utilization by French, German,
and American Soldiers.
The irrepressible and ubiquitous
modern device, the bicycle, grows
more and more serious and important
with every year of its existence. Now
it is capturing the armies of the world.
The bicycle has invaded the military
circles of the greatest powers OH the
globe. France has regular bicycle
corps, with wheels specially construct
ed for campaigning. One of the recent
devices proposed is a bicycle with
bayonet attachment, and propelled by
a gasoline motor, leaving the rider free
to handle his rifle. A body mounted
on wheels of this character, charging
down one Of the elegant French high
ways against the enemy would make
formidable appearance, whatever
the effect might be. Germany also has
Its bicycle corps, and in addition to
that, with the thoroughness which al
ways distinguishes her in military af-
fairs, she has in training 1000 Great
Danes at Berlin who are to become
literally dogs of war" When let
loose their mission will be to rush at
an opposing bicycle brigade and pull
the riders off their wheels. The dogs
are drilled to discriminate between the
German uniform and any other. All
operations are to be directed against
riders in a uniform not German.
should the Germans have allies in the
Held on wheels, the results might be
disastrous.
The United States military authori-
tles, not to be behind in utilizing the
bicycle, have instituted experiments
with view to it's use in the field.
Gen. Miles has been in favor OF this
Tor some time, and Secretary Alger, of
the war department, has issued an
order directing Lieut.. James A. Moss,
or the Twenty-fifth United States in
fantry, stationed at Fort Misscula
Mont, to organize a bicycle corns Of
twenty from men in his regiment to
make a trip from Fort Missoula to
81 Louis, MO-, and return on wheels.
Inc corps is to carry tents, ammuni
lon, arms, equipment and food, and
VIII camp out each night as in regular
service. Each rider is to carry on his
wheel knapsack, to be strapped on
the handle-bars, one blanket roll on
the top of the knapsack, containing
one blanket; one half-sheIter tent and
the poles; one haversack, and one Gun
Every olher soldier is to carry rifle

tlon TO the above each soldier CARRIES
canteen, and cartridge belt contain-
ing thirty rounds of ammunition on his
person. " ms
iHlS is not exactly the outfit for a
scorcher, but this experiment means
business. When the trip is c0ncmded
the lieutenant in command is to make
report to the secretary of war Ths
results of this expedition will be re-
ceived with interest. If American
ROADS were only like those in France
