WILMINGTON, Del, Dec. 1.-THE Jury
in the case of Senator Kenney, charged with
completely to misappropriate the funds of
tho First National Bank of this city, an
nounced at $50 this afternoon that ii was
unable to agree. The judge told the Jurors
that if any of them had come to a conclu-
sion to the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused, they should adhere to their convic-
ton and do their full duty. He asked the
members if they wanted him to again read
his charge, but the foreman replied in the
negative. Several of the jurors then asked
to be discharged, but the court informed
them that they had not had time TO care
fully weigh all the evidence. and he would
send them back The jurors, after being i'm
court for nearly an hour. were again es-
corted to the jury room. AT $50 O'Clock this
evening they were locked up for the night.
Judge Bradford will come to court to-mor-
row if the jurors ask for further instruc-
tions announce that they have agreed. 1t
is reported that the jury stands ten to two
for acquittal, but nothing definite in this
respect can be learned. Juror Frank Cars

for Havana. She had been held from going
to sea by a heavy morning fog which now
had disappeared. The Virginia troops
crowded to the bulwarks of the Chester.
swarmed in her rigging and, waving their
campaign hats, cheered the little pilot boat
to the echo. The President jumped upon the
rail Of the Estill and, holding on to
shroud, waved back his Acknowledgements
to the troops The regimental band on board
the Chester played Yankee Doodle fol-
lowed by Dixie" and on both vessels there
ensued such a scene of enthusiasm as had
seldom been witnessed in this State. Lunch
con was served on board the Estill and at
half past o'clock the presidential party
disembarked and was driven to the hotel,
where a rest was taken until the banquet
commenced. The President is deeply
touched by his reception here and is espe-
fcially gratifed over the review of the
troops. Generals Shafter and Lawton ex-
pressed surprise and intense satisfaction at
the splendid showing of the volunteer troops
in the parade.

HE is STILL TALKING.
Colonel Bryan Goes to New York and
Has Himself Interviewed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE World to-mor-
row will publish the following: William j.
Bryan is in town. He was found last night
Saturday at the Bartholdi Hotel. Colonel
Bryan declared himself an uncompromising
opponent of the Mckinley policy of expan-
sion. He said: ''It is too early at this time
to discuss party politics for the presiden-
tial election of 1900, but / think the issue
then will be free silver, anti-expansion, anti
Imperialism and the rights of labor. have
already expressed myself against imperial
ism and territorial expansion. The proposal
to adopt the colonial idea of European ma
tions is fraught with the greatest danger.
What will be the fate of the treaty in the
Senate do not care to predict. While 1 was
in Washington I sought all the informa-
ton I could get. cannot say that L learned

positive opinion.

in 1900? Certainly. 1t will be the main ques-
ton"

ton"

CHANGES AT HAVANA.

Incidents of the Outgoing 0f Spnns
iards and Incoming of Americans.
NEW YORK, Dec. ia dispatch 10 the
Tribune from Havana says: Havana is at
the halfway stage between the departure
of the Spaniards and the coming of the
Americans. The city looks lonesome. 1t is
not desolate. because hopefulness and deso-
lation do not go together, and everybody iS
hopeful Of the future. Trade is not brisk
because. except in breadstuffs. there are no
importations. That will be changed as soon
as the new tariff goes into effect. in the
retail districts occupied by the middle
classes a fair amount of business Is done. A
walk through those sections shows moro
activity that there was two months ago.
This is due to the return OF so many Cuban
families. In what would be called the shop
ping district of the city, such as ObispO
street, which is the Fifth avenue of Havana,
nothing is doing. Nevertheless the Spanish
shopkeepers are complacent. They prefer
period of dulness for u single reason This
families of the Spanish officers and officials
were customers, but were not good pay.
The tradesmen dreaded their patronage and
sought to evade it as much as possible.
Neither We're the Cubans good pay. but credit
could be refused them without fear Of the
consequences. The Americans are coming:
they are at the same time good customers
and good pay. So the shopkeeper is content
with the present dullness In his trade.
''The city feels the departure of so many
Spanish families In a way, They helped 10
give It life. A few weeks ago It was almost
impossible to rent house ia any respecte

GOT LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT.
Russians Probably Did Not Meet with
Much Success

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Emissaries of Rus
sia have made a careful survey Of the sit
uation in this city and have sounded nearly
all of the leading concerns. Their business
had been conducted quietly and so far moth
ing seems to show that their overtures have
met with much encouragement.
Jacob II. Schieff, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
when shown the statement of Mr. Eckels
said: Il understand that about two or three
weeks ago several firms in this city, includ-
ing my own, were sounded by persons who
claimed to be acting for the Russian gov
ernment, as to the feasibility of floating a
Russian per cent. or 311 per cent loan. ]
don't think such negotiation feasible in
the United States"
Henry Speyer refused to make any COM
ment on Mr.. EckeIs's statement. An effort
was made to see j. p Morgan and other
financiers tonight, but they could not be
found.

roads. AS for the banks. it is the greater
volume of business alone which enables
them, with so great reduction in the pay
ment for transacting the business. to make
a fair return upon the capital invested.
All this thing benefits more than any
one else the great body of consumers. How
ever apparently in the face of things COM
bnations may seem to be at present for the
benefit of capital, an analysis of the real
effect of them will show that the consumer
is the largest gamer. The danger in such
combinations lies in their inviting more
less speculation, thus affording opportunity
to managers to sacrifice the interests of the
great body Of shareholders to their own
personal gain. Then, too. the very great re-
sources vested in them tend to invite po-
litical attack and cause participation in poll
tics by them. However, these features can
all be safeguarded and in time combina-
tions made within the lines of law and fair
ness, conducted upon legitimate business
principles. viii be accepted here as as much
a part of everyday commercial life as they
are in other countries where this evolution
was long since a fixture and an accepted
benefit.
1T is known that German institutions
have paid in the last few weeks as high as
per cent. for sx-month loans, made in
Wall and Lasalle streets, which is not ex-
cessive when it is recalled that the dis
count rate Of the Reichsbank is per cent.
Money being dearer in France and in Eng
land than in the United States, the infer
ence is logical that the foreign representa-
tives who are negotiating large loan in
this country are acting for the Cars gov
ernment. "
Late this evening Mr.. Eckels was asked
by the Associated Press If he could give any
intimation as to which of the European
powers had made overtures for loan. He
replied that he had no definite information
in the matter, but that the whole subject
had been suggested to him in a conversation
in New York, in the course of which the
name of the applicant had not been men,
toned. "Of course the whole matter is as
yet hardly anything more than a rumor, .
said Mr.. Eckels. IF true, it would be of
vast significance, as showing the tremen-
dous value that European countries are be-
ginning to set upon the United States as a
source of financial aid. Beyond this 1 have
nothing to add to the interview printed in
the Daily News this afternoon

viii Go to the Present Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE President
will submit the peace treaty to the Senate
during the present session; that much has
been definitely determined upon. The text
is still lacking here, and as the commission
ers have not thought proper to intrust he
document to the mails, it will not reach
Washington before next Saturday AL
though desirous of placing it before the
Senate at the earliest opportunity the Presi-
dent will not be able to do so for a week
after it's receipt for the reason that Con-
gress will then be in holiday recess. Mean
while the treaty will not be given to the
public. Strong pressure has been brought to
bear already to change this decision, but
strict observance of the established custom
in such cases will be followed in order to
avoid exciting useless animosity against
the treaty on the part of sticklers for the
observance of the courtesy due the Senate.
