1T HANGS THE JURY.
Edwin RouselI Case in the Federal
Court Proves Troublesome.

The famous Edwin Rousell fraud case
has resulted in no end of trouble for
en- to the jury Saturday noon and at
noon today there was no likelihood of
an agreement. The jury will probably
be discharged this evening unless they
agree upon a verdict before that time.
The case consumed nearly week
and has been one of the most bitterly
RouseH claimed that he is a victim of
a conspiracy. He is general secretary
of the Fraternal Aid association and
the other officers, including L. c; Stine:
Horner of Lawrence who are the pros
ecuting witnesses were forced out by
tanned. He charges that they had the
suit commenced to play even-'
District Attorney Lambert made
special effort in the case and his clos
ing address to the jury was one of the
most eloquent ever heard in the court
room. The prosecution had expert wit
nesses who testified that the letters
written to secure the insurance were
written in disguised hand by Rousell
and the defense introduced evidence
through experts to prove that RouseI
did not write the letters in question
The defense also had several promi-
nent witnesses from Lawrence includ-
ing J. D. Bowersock who testified to the
good character of Rousen-
A fact developed in the case was that
RouseIl once went by the name of Rus
sell but that he changed the name to
RouSell after he went to Lawrence. He
was a telegraph operator and express
messenger at Lawrence for several
years.
The defense was managed by Capt. J.
G. Waters of Topeka, E. F. Caldwell of
Lawrence and P. J. HANDLE of Valley
Falls. The case attracted a great deal
of attention from the fact that many
prominent lodge men were involved on
one side or the other. The Fraternal
Aid society supported RouseH in the
fight.
LATER-Edwin Rousell was found
guilty this afternoon.

Bishop Burke believes the war with
Spain will lead to international compH-

the canon was completed and the question
was about to be taken Rev. DR.. Mackay-
Smith arose. He said that ii was patent to
every one that none of the canons could be
adopted at the present convention. In or
der to save time that would otherwise be
wasted in discussion which could only be
academic he asked if a motion 20 recon-
nit, with the concurrence of the house of
bishops, the entire report TO the joint COM
mission for further consideration and re-
port to the next general convention would
be in order.
President Dix explained that the canons
were now being considered by the bishops
and until their action was known such d
motion might lead to embarrassment He
therefore ruled that consideration of the
canons should proceed until the attitude of
the other house could be aScer tanned.
Canon /, providing the rules governing
postulants who desire to enter the ministry
was adopted. and DR.. Hoffman, moved TO
adopt canon =. which provides for the gov
ernment of candidates for holy orders. He
explained at length the various changes
made in the old law by the proposed canon.
Its consideration was then proceeded with
by sections. the first providing the mode of
applica ton to the standing committee or
council of advice of the diocese or misSi Dn-
ary district, respectively.
Just before recess hour was reached Mr..
Joseph Packard, jr., of Maryland called
attention to the utter futility of further
considering the subject of the canonS. He
allLded to DR.. Mackay-Smith's remarks in
the same line earlier in the day. He moved
that the entire subject be Indefinitely post
poned. This was agreed to without Il neg
ative vote. The secretary read several no.
tees regarding committee meetings and an
nounced that, the treasurer having left the
city, dioceses in arrears of their dues for
the year 1898 could pay the same to the
chairman.
A message received from the bishops
recommending the appointment of a com
mittee, to consist of five bishops. five pres
byters and five laymen. to consider the ad
visibility of selecting a permanent place
for the meetings of the general convention
and to report thereon at the next con-

Bishop Whipple, presiding bishop Of the

cess in founding schools has been equal
to his achievements for the Indians. He
was the founder of ST. Mary's Hall, Sea-

tuition in the west. Over 100 officers of :he

The Church Periodical Club.
The claim that this is the ''womans
century," was exemplified by the number
of women who attended the meetings of
the womans auxiliary to board of mis-
sions Never have the gatherings been so
large as during this session Of the Epis-
copal convention in this city.
One branch of the womans auxiliary Is
the Church Periodical Club which recent
ly had a most enthusiastic meeting in ST.
Johns Church. Bishop Talbot of Central

ject of the society is to send literature to
those missionaries who are living far from
