BERING SEA QUESTION.
The Joint Commission Has Arrived at
No Conclusion.


Washington. Nov. 29.-The Anglo
American commission had expected to
resume the consideration OF the reci-
procity discussion to-day. but as the
Bering sea question had not been dis
posed OF the consideration of that
branch of work was continued. While
considerable progress has been made. a
finel adjournment upon the sealing
question is not yet assured. Besides the
present valuation OF the Canadian seal
ing fleet. IL Is said the REIMBURSEMENT OF
the rights of sealing Is another factor
which the Canadians consider quite as
important as the value OF the present
feet.
Questions relating to the Great lakes

NOT GUILTY
The Verdict . Surprise to the
Indian and the Court.
CHARGED WITH MURDER
The Defendant Was Accused OF Killing
John Brueuier on the Fort Peck
indian Ressrystion-ousstion
Of Reasonable Doubt.

Special Dispn tch To the Standard.
Helena. Nov. 29.-About the happiest
Indian in seven states could have been
seen In the United States court about 6
o'clock tonight. when George W. sproule.
the clerk of the court. read the words
mot guilty. from the verdict OF the jury
in the Stricken case. The young Sioux.
who has been on trial for several days
on the charge of killing John Bruguier on
the Fort Peck reservation last June
showed in his countenance and actions
that he realized how much those words
meant for him. and In another minute. as
the jury filed from the jury box. he shook
hands with each OF the ~ men. thanking
them for their verdict. Tn verdict was
a surprise to about everybody who had
been following the case. In discharging
the jury. Judge Knowles remarked that
the verdict must have been something Of
a surprise to the defendant as well as to
his counsel. IL took the u men scarcely
two hours to arrive at a verdict. The case
was given to them about 4 o'clock and
the lands of the courtroom clock pointed
to 6 O'Clock as the verdict was an
nounced. after a few minutes had been
spent getting the court officials and at
torneys interested in the case together.
The case was resumed this morning
with II. 8. Walker. a Poplar merchant, on
the stand. The defense examined him as
to whether John Hanson the Indian on
whom the defense attempted to fasten
the crime, made some purchases in his
store upon the day the crime was COM
mitted. He denied that such was the
case. George Cooley, his partner, and
Agent Scobey were recalled to testify to

was ended.
District Attorney Rodgers addressed the
jury, urging a conviction at their hands.
He was followed by Eustace Wheeler and
T.. D.. Weed for the defense, after which
the government closed. The court in
structed the jury and the IL men retired.
Attorney Weed for the defense desired
that some instructions as to the bearing
of drunkenness on the case be given the
jury. but these were denied. The first bal
lot the jury took after reaching their
room was nine to three for acquittal.
The next was ten to two the same way.
and in a short while the two who were
holding out Joined the majority. The
question OF reasonable doubt az 10
Stricker's guilt had considerable weight
with the jury. Besides the ~ men attach
ed some Importance to the claim of the
defense that Hanson knew considerable
more about the crime than appeared. He
made a bad witness for the government,
prejudicing the jury against him. while
Stricken made a good witness.
As soon as the verdict was announced
the court ordered Stricken discharged
from custody. after remarking. as stated,
that the verdict must have surprised him
and his counsel.
The case of Sarsield VS.. the Great
Northern for 10000 damages, which was

REBATE ON ALCOHOL.
Argument Begun In supreme Court In
the Dunlop Case.

Argument Begun In supreme Court In
the Dunlop Case.
Washington, Nov. 29.-Argument was
begun in the United States court to-
day in the case of r.. Dunlap a Co. VS..
the United States, involving the claim
OF his firm TO a rebate on alcohol used
by them In the manufacture OF hats as
allowed by the eist section Of the Cor
man. Wilson tariff law. The case
to the supreme court on an ap-
peal from the court OF claims. which
refused the petition for a rebate on the
ground thai the grant failed when the
secretary OF the treasury did not pre-
scribe the regulations which were made
necessary by the law. The argument
was begun for Dunlap by George n.
Wing. who contended that the objec-
tion raised by the court below was not
in force and did no relieve the govern
ment from the obligation to pay the
rebate. He argued that the professed
object OF the wilson-Gorman law was
the reduction OF taxation. whereas the
tax on spirits had been increased from
30 cents TO 81. This tax amounted to
70 per cent. and was made 80 onerous.
as all know. because OF the use of spir-
IT'S as a beverage. and while this might
be legitimate. the same reason could
not be supposed to have been good In
the use OF alcohol in the articles and
industries which IL Is our policy to fos-
ter and not TO discourage.
Evidently. he argued. the intention OF
congress was 10 relieve our manufac-
turers from the tax In order to place
them on an equal footing with foreign
manufacturers, who have free alcohol.
Moreover. a drawback Is allowed on I'M
ported alcohol used In the manufacture
of articles to be exported. Hence the
present practice is n discrimination
against American alcohol. Attorney
General Griggs and Hon. j. III. Choate
will be heard tomorrow, the attorney
general for the government and Mr..
Choate for the appellants. There Is
much interest manifested in the case.
especially among the manufacturers Of
proprietary medicines. IL Is said to in
volve an aggregate OF $4,000. 900.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 29.-The steamer
Cottage City, from ALASKA, brings news
of the wreck of the steame Detroit on
Shelter island. Her crew and passen-
gers, numbering 81. were saved. The
Detroit ran between uneau and
Haines' Mission. While making her reg
ular run last Thanksgiving day she
struck a reef on Shelter island. The
weather was terribly thick. a heavy
snowstorm raging. The rock tore great
holes in her as the engines pounded
themselves to pieces endeavoring to
drag her from her ~rock-bound position.
The water poured through her and had
1t not been for the t%ightness In which
she was held by the rocks she would
have gone down, drowning all on board
The passengers n crew were landed
on Shelter island. where they are
housed, with scarcely any provisions,
under tarpaulins. The purser and two
seamen went to Juneau In a small boat
for relief, arriving there just before the
Cottage City left. They say the sur
vivors are I'm a critical condition. shiv-
ering with cold around a fire and with
out food. A steamer has gone to the
rescue with relief.

the first results OF the determination of

There are now 30, 900 volunteers who
are entirely useless in view OF the tech
meal cessation of hostilities. Orders for
the mastering out of these will be is
sued without delay. which will leave
100. 900 men in the army. 1t was re-
called by army officers that the regular
army of $4,000 men had eve been up
to it's limit of enlisted strength and
that the army of s.. 200 men under the
Hull bill lacked 10000 of complete en-
listment.

whether he would ask for more pay for
enlisted men. but 1t is asserted that 1t
will be impossible to secure the enlist
ment of rs, 900 men. unless there be a
greater pay han $40 a month for each
