in many respects was the most success
full ever given by the club. Covers
We're laid for 365 and had there been
room, probably twice this number of
tickets would have been sold. Rear
Admiral Schley replying to Our Navy"
said in part: Il do not recall in history
that a nation ever before declared war
upon another and the day following
blockaded the enemys ports. Such was
the condition of readiness in our navy
that this was possible in the late war,
and the lesson it impresses ought not
to be forgotten that war to be short,
sharp and decisive can only be made
so by preparation in times of peace SO
that when it must be undertaken it can

There are also said to be more votes
for first degree than for acquittal IN
the earlier ballots. At no time during
the long hours of waiting was the court
room deserted This evening Judge
Taylor went to q hotel just across the
street, leaving instructions with the
bailiff that he would be in readiness to
be called up at midnight and would
come to the court room to receive ver-,f

Bulletin: Canton. O., April 27.-Tha
most persistent report at midnight is
that the jury in the George case stands
eight for acquittal and four for man
slaughter. The feeling now is that no
verdict will be reported tonight Mrs.

the charge bearing specially on this case
and aside from the usual form were as
follows: THAT Mrs. George has been
and charged with the perpe-
tration of a crime does not tend, in any
degree, to show her guilt or remove
from her the presumption of innocence
which the law casts about her. Under
this indictment you may find the de-
fendant guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, of murder in the second, Of mans
of assault and battery or OH
ASSAULT or you may find her not guilty
at ALL This is not mere discretion, but
1T is your duty to return such d YER
dict as the testimony under the law, as
the court has given it to you demands.
Evidence of the alleged relations be-
tween the defendant and the deceased
Saxton since 1889 and prior to the death
Of Saxton, has been permitted to go to
you, not because the said relations Of
5axton and the defendant are any ex-
,use or justification or defense of the
offense of killing the deceased by the
defendant. The fact that defendant did
not testify and/an attempt to prove an
alibi are not to be considered against

them not to re-enlist 1t is said that

M'KINLEY TO TISIT COGHL1N,
To Convey Nations Gratitude for the
Brilliant Work at Manila

Philadelphia, April 27.--An authentic
statement was made this afternoon af-
| ter his arrival in this city that Presi-
dent Mckinley has no intention of re-
| moving Captain Coghlan from the COM
mand of the United States steamship
Raleigh. The president, it is also stat
ed, has not even considered such action
1t was also learned from the same au-
thentic source that the admiration held
by the president for Captain Coghlans
participation, with Admiral Dewey in
the destruction of the Spanish fleet at
Manila completely overshadows any de-
sire on his part to administer rebuke to
the Raleigh's commander. Should Cap
tain Coghlan retire at all, which now
seems unlikely, it will not be because
of the German incident, but in keeping
with usages of the navy department or
in the event of the captain himself de-
string shore leave. The president will
visit the captain on board the Raleigh
Tomorrow and convey him the graft
tude of the nation for his brilliant work
