SPALDIHG NOT GUILTY..

Strong Declarations.
CHICAGO. June 1s.-In the embezzlement case
against Charles W. Spalding, former banker and
ex-Treasurer of the Stale University, the jury
this evening. to the surprise of every one-and
S~palding was the most surprised OF all-hrought
In a verdict OF not guilty" The verdict was
directly In opposition TO the instructions of Judge
Abner Smith. The instructions were brief but
strong. The Court said that S~palding wasguilty
of embezzlement the moment he hypothecnted
the university's gold; that any hypothecation by
another Us SpaldinR's agent meaning Broker
Camp, WAS not q legal excuse for spaldinE's

ble effect upon spaldmg. He was sitting in his
usual position facing the jury. and clearly lost
hope when he heard the words Of the Judge.
He turned with q despairing look to his attor-
neys, md received a kindly glance which
seemed to reassure him. As soon as the jurors
had left their places and disappeared in the
Jury room Spalding was taken back to the jail.
He showed the terrible mental strain he was
under. He trembled as he left the court room.
and no prisoner on trial for his life during the
time when the jury was ont ever displayed III
tenser suffering than spalding.
The jurors took the law into their own hands
and gave a verdict against the Courts plain in

against S~palding. and Assistant States Attor-

he secures a conviction.

Faiiea 10 Keep Hcr lprornned About t~scIlnwniinn
Ne an Unrrtsndly Act.

WARRINGTON, June ls.-Tho attitude of Japan
toward the proposed annexation Of Hawaii is
becoming much more threatening than was
anticipated by the Administration and serious
trouble may result even before the treaty
has been disposed of by the Senate. The
memorandum OF inquiry filed by Mr.. Toru
Hoshi. the Japanese Minister here, will
undoubtedly DO followed by u strong protest
against the terms OF tho treaty. In that mem.
orandum Minister Hoshi Expressed the hope and
belief Of his Government that the interests OF
Japanese subjects in Hawaii and the rights Of
Japan In the several treaties made with Hawaii
would be fully protected in the event that an
nexation Of the islands to the United States were
decided on.
When the memorandum was handed Score.
tary Sherman. Minister Hoshi did not have posi-
tive Information that the treaty was to DO
signed. He had read in the newspapers that 1t
was being negotiated and would be perfected on
the day following his visit. The
comes from n thoroughly source
that whom the memorandum was pre-
scented Secretary Sherman informed Mr..
Hoshi that no annexation treaty hnd been
prepared and that nothing concerning annexa-
ton was likely to come up for some time. Sew
eral days prior to the signing OF the treaty the
State Department had notified Great Britain
anu Otner tOVefnucutb InhI tnB LrCubl WIS
about to be signed, but Japan was not included
in the notice.
The information given the japanese Minister by
Secretary Sherman that the treaty had not been
arranged and the discrimination against Japan
in the matter of notification. have given great
offence TO the Toxic Government, md II Is re-
ported here that the Japanese Government
views the failure to notify them az an unfriendly
act, and that u political crisis may he precipi-
tated at Toxic.
Senator Davis. Chairman OF the Committee on
Fereign Relations, said he had been very much
concerned for some time past regarding the
probable action of Japan.
81 was afraid, he said, that Japan would
boldly seize the islands and oauseberious trou-
BILE"
He said he concurred In q sentiment expressed
at the caucus the other day, TO the effect that
the civilization Of Japan was merely a lacqucred
veneer.

President Quigg's talk 10 the Republican
County Committee on Thursday night has
cleared the political atmosphere somewhat.
President Quigg. it is learned, uttered the senti-
ments OF the Mckinley Republicans. He had
Just come from Washington. With Senator
Plat and Secretary BliBs he had called ut the
White House and had n long talk with Presi-
dent Mckinley. President Quigg would not say
yesterday what occurred NJ this meeting in the
White House. but Ii was made known that
President Mckinley is greatly interested in the
Republican fight against Tammany Hall, free
silver, and Bryan repudiatiou.
President Quigg had lunch yesterday with n
Republican lawyer who is considered TO be one
Of the great chieftains Of the Citizens Union
movement. This Republican lawyer has the
confidence Of Seth Low. He in an admirer Of
Seth Low. He understands all about the posi-
ton of Seth Low and he made II known yester-
day that Mr.. Low will not accept the nomina-
tioE OF the Citizens Union alone. In fact,
the Republican lawyer was commissioned
by Mr.. Low to inform the Republican lead
ers Of the county that he tMr. Low would NOS
accept the nomination of the Citizens Union
aione' ana would not DC q part OF any political
movement which would bring him to the front
until the hepuoiican County Convention OF
Greater New YORK mad named It's choice. This
was the positive that the Republi-
can lawyer Of the Citizens Union conveyed to
the hepnblican leaders OF New York county.
The Hepuhlicnn lawyer went further and said
that Mr.. Low was ANNOYED at the conduct OF
such men In the Citizens Union MS Carl schurE.
X. Fulton Cutting. and Joseph Larocque. Some
folks have misinterpreted MIR. LOWS letter to
Mr.. schurz, MIR. Cutting, and MIR. Larocque.
MIR. Low has made no promises to anybody,
and he VIII make none. As a matter OF fact.
Mr.. SchurZ, Mr.. cutting, and Mr.. Larocque, 1t
10 declared, attempted TO get from Mr.. Low Ger
tain promises, whereas the Republican organ
ization Of Greater New York has not asked Mr..
Low for any promises, and will ask for none.
AS Mr.. Low Will not accept the Citizens Union
nomination alone. and as he does not believe
that the Republican City Convention Is willing
to nominate him. the chances are that he has
no expectation OF being the candidate OF the
combined forces against Tammany Hall.
President Quigg OF the Republican County
said last night:
What l said at the meeting of the County
was not said in a spirit of opposition
TO Mr.. Low. 1 notice that some of the gentle
