ing that 1t could not reach an agreement.

twelve men from further consideration Of
the matter. 1t is the intention Of the

trial again before the close of the present
month.
The case was given to the jury. as stated
In The STAR at 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon. At 4 o'clock a recess until 8 o'clock
last evening was taken. At the latter hour
the jury filed into court and asked for in
structions in reference to what conSidera-
ton should be given to the testimony re-
garding the statements made by Miss
Bricker in connection with the preliminary
hearing of the case in the Police Court.
After making the matter clear. Justice

up for the night.

ton to the instruction given the Jury by the
court last evening, and some discussion fol-
lowed. The jury was thereupon directed to
appear.

upon verdict?' inquired Clerk F. w.
Smith.
May 1t please the court the foreman
made response, I'VE have not adding that
1t was impossible for the jury to agree.
The foreman said that although many
ballots had been taken, there had been no
change from the first vote.

on the surety he had previously furnished.
He spent last night in the custody of the
United States marshal, but was not taken
to jail.
The court room was crowded during the
proceedings this morning. Standing room
was also at a premium when the jury APP
peared in court last evening. Many ru-
mors were in circulation as to how the
vote of the jury stood, report that seven
had voted for acquttal and five for con-
viction receiving most credence.

statement recently made that potatoes
contain poison called solanin. 1t IS an
nounced that new potatoes contain much
less than old ones, but those wEch have

This may be true, but it seems odd that
people have lived and thriy.ed for CEN

END OF THE BOER WAR.

Though the fall of Johannesburg
the Beers does not necessarily end
the war in the South African Repub-
lie, the general belief is that the con
tiict is about over.
The Boer forces are now said to
be disheartened and dsintegrating.
1t was believed that they would stub
bornly contest every foot of ground,
and that when the British appeared
before Pretoria, if they actually pen
etrated, that far, the city would not
be taken except after "a most stubborn
engagement. AS u matter of fact
Lord Roberts encountered little oppo-
sition. and Pretoria, the capital. sur
rendered without firing a shot.
This would seem to show that the
Beers have really lost heart and see
no alternative but to quietly submit
But it has been a memorable strug-
gle. taxing the resources of the Brit
ish Empire to the utmost.
With the fall of its capital city, the
Transvaal reverts to the condition of
British dependency. As to the in
tentions of the British government
ON this point there is 10 possible
room for doubt.
Lord Salisburys latest after-dinner
speech strengthens what has been
said before by the premier and other
members of the government concern
ing British intentions toward the
Transvaal and the Free State 1t is
not yet time for details, but not "a
shred of the former independence of
the republics shall remain he said
This can mean nothing less than
Shat the entire political machinery of
both republics will be oyerthrown.
Let us hope, however, that there will
he no attempt to deprive these brave
people of civil liberty. We doubt if
they would submit to it. Even now
it is reported that President Kruger
and the more determined of the b.
ers propose to, retire TO Gutenberg
ard carry on a guerrilla wareta:e
from that point, but it is scarcely like
ly that such resistance will endure
long, if the British government will
guarantee to the Beers as great Sc
curity in their persons and property
/, oil
means of redress in the courts which
are conceded to Englishmen. Fur
thermore, if the English government
would prevent further trouble, not
much time should be lost in giving
the republics a thoroughly liberal po-
litical system like that of Cape Col
ony.
The great meaning of the s'ar is
that it definitely settles the dominion
to the Boer hopes of Dutch fedora
ton of all South African states, and
practical realization of Cecil Rhodes
old dream of united South Africa
under English rule. For both nations
it has meant thousands of mourning
homes. and for both great deeds of

is rndying glory in the heroism of
their citizen soldiery. If the one name
