The Grand Jury. which is one of our
coming institutions, is good thing in
some respects and bad one in others
Those who want justice done may go to
an honest Grand Jury and, II they can
show proper cause. may start its ma
chinery of indictment at no cost to
themselves. The trouble is that so
many rascals succeed in getting the
Grand Jury to indict honest men on
perjured testimony. AS the Jury is ex-
pected to keep an eye on all public OFF,
Gals II, theoretically at least, improves
the efficiency and integrity OF the pub
lie service. On the other hand politi-
clans always try to control the Grand
Jury by getting their friends drawn for
II and succeed so often that the body
organized TO protect the public becomes
safeguard OF official thieves. The
quality OF popular sentiment has much
10 do with the value of Grand Jurles.
Given a State like Massachusetts and
the Jury Is all that the writers of the
Federal Constitution intended 1t to be;
but In a State like California 1t IL, more
than half the time. a handy instrument
OF designing rogues.

All casualties of war do not occur
while the war is in progress. There is
legacy of shattered nerves and i'm
paired organs which later calls for pay
ment. Doubtless the death from heart
disease of Admiral Philip in the prime
of life may be traced TO his experiences
while In command of battleship at
Santiago. No man with a tendency TO
heart disease or nervous prostration
can go through battle without suffer-
ing physical harm, Captain Clark of
the oregon broke down as soon as the
Santiago fight was over: Gridley of the
Olympia died of heart trouble a few
weeks after the Manila victory. and a
considerable number of lesser officers
have succumbed to the same malady.
And now goes Philip whose order,
Don't cheer boys; the poor devils are
DYING" and who, when the Santiago
battle was over gathered his officers
and men about him and gave thanks
to God. made him one OF the marked
characters In the American naval SER
vice.

by the newspaper organ of the native
Independent party:
Refusal to concur in the executive
nominations.
To free the lepers from Molokai and
abolish segregation.
To pass labor immigration laws in dis
regard of the rights of Congress,
To compel planters to conform to the
labor policy of the Legislature by taxing
the sugar of those who refuse, In the
sum OF $40 per ton; also raising the tax
rates on their land.
To which Mr.. Kaulia. candidate for
Senator, proposes to add this achieve
ment:
The restoration of the Queen.
No fault can be found with this ex-

the appearance of clause pledg-
ing the Legislature to poison the mis-
sionaries and divide their property
among Independents of good standing.

cial officers saw a white man and a
negro near the Illinois Central tracks.
The men had a bag in their possession
and the f1cers called on them to sur
render instead the white man drew his
revolver and a lively fusillade followed
betwean the officers and the nEfs. The
latter finally dropped their sack and
escaped towz1rd the swamps. The sack
proved to be a United States mail bag
This morning near the scene of this
shooting the police found a cartridge
belt stained with blood and full of cart
ridges.
Tt is difficult to learn what the rob-
bers got away with, but it is said they
managed to secure several registered
mail pouches and a large quantity of
Christmas packages.

WAR ON SUGAR TRUST.
ArbuckIes to Build an Immense
Refinery in Brooklyn.

New York. Dec 1.-THE Times prints
the following.
New opposition TO the American sugar
Refining company is developing. IL comes
from two sources. The two-foid opposi-
tion comes first from the Arbuclciee ana
second from Philadelphia interests and ~
admitted by Herman SielcEen, who r. nt

CHINA IS READY.
Peace Negotiations Are Now
Waiting on England.

Pekin, Thursday, Dec. 13.-Li Hung
Chang and Prince Ching have sent an
official notification to the ministers that
they have received the promised docu-
ments authorizing them to act in be-
half of China in the peace negotiations
and announcing that they are ready to
proceed as soon as the ministers de-
sire.
The fact that Sir Ernest Sattow, the
British minister to China, has not yet
received authority from his government
to sign the joint note causes aStOnish-
ment here, as it is felt that other pow
ers having agreed there cannot be any
thing in the joint note to cause Great
Britain to object sufficiently TO make
her refuse to sign.
Mr.. Conger says he believes China
will immediately accept the terms i'm
posed and that she has it in her power
to comply with the majority of them
before spring. while the others can
wait.
On account of the frost, the court will
not be able to return to Pekin, nor viii
the troops be able to leave until April,
when, if the peace conditions are COM
piled with. it is believed that all the al
lied forces, except the legation guards
not to exceed a hundred men for each
power, will leave Pekin, remaining until
the fall on the coast between Tazu and
n-Hai-Kuan, available, if necessary,
or ready to be Withdrawn, for II China
cannot behave as a civilized power with
military compulsion, it may be nee
essary to dismenber the empire. Mr..
Conger personally believes that the
Chinese have been taught a lesson by
the looting.
Colonel Tullock reports the discovery
of the body of the man who gave the
British information regarding the treas
ure hidden, as alleged, by persons con-
nected with the Chinese court during
the recent flight.
He had been decapitated. The Brit
have TpDOrtRd 6lSCOV-
cry of the treasure, but their return is
exDected tomorrow.

Defendants Testimony COnsid-

Case Will Now Go Over to Spring
Term of Court.

Kansas City. Mo, Dec. IA special
to the Star from FL Dorado. kan. says
the Jurymen in the Jessie Morrison muir
der case reported at noon today that
they were unable to agree on a verdict
and Judge Shinn discharged them from
further duty. They stood nine FOR ac-
quittal and three for conviction. The
jury had been out since Tuesday morn
ing. The case viii now go over 90 the
spring term of court. The relative
standing OF the different members OF
the jury created great surprise. Alex
ander Hewitt said that as soon as the
case was given to the jury Tuesday
morning he was elected foreman. The
Instructions were carefully read and an
informal ballot taken. On the first ball
lot, before any discussion had taken
place, the vote stood nine FOR acoulttal.
two for conviction, one not voting. Tho
second ballot resulted nine Tor 9cquit-
tai and three for conviction. On the
third ballot there were eight for acquit-
tai and four for conviction.
The next ballot again resulted nine
for acquittal and three for conviction.
and from that time, early Tuesday
morning. IL did not change.
After they had been discharged the
jurymen talked freely to newspaper
men.
1--WE had many arguments" said
Foreman Hewitt We would argue
with the three who wanted conviction,
would quit. We took six or eight bal-
lots on the first day and about that
many on every one OF the four days
that we were in the jury room"
What did you think Of the dying
statement Of Clara Castle2" was asked.
That may have been all right, but
when they took il away from her and
added something to it. IL shook her
statement" replied Hewitt
What seemed to you TO be the
strongest points in Jessie Morrison's
favor?"
Her own testimony on the stand az
much as anything else. Her statement
was straight and other people were
mixed up in Clara Castles story"
Each Of the twelve men looked worn
and haggard when called into court.
The prisoner was accompanied into
court by her father and two sisters. She
wore a large hat trimmed with blue rib
bons and feathers. and had pinned a
huge cluster Of carnations on her breast.
She showed little nervousness OF anN-
iety. A number of spectators crowded
the room when Il became known that
the jury had been called In, and great
eagerness was shown.
Dead stiffness prevailed as Judge
Shinn questioned Foreman Hewitt and
finally each OF the twelve men az TO
their ability to reach a verdict when
the jury was finally discharged the court
room was thrown into confusion. With
one impulse the spectators made toward
the lawyers, and the dispensing jury

Strike Officials Say There Is No
Weakening.

Nothing discouraging reaches strike
headquarters here and the fight OF the
Santa Fe telegraphers continues hrm on
their part.
From strike headquarters at Calves

'.One week ago today 147 men went out

In the west the strikers are gaining
ground as the following words coming
from Arizona, show:

A PRAIRIE FIRE.
Breaks Out in Chicago and
Policemen Help Subdue It.

Chicago, Dec. IA mid-winter prairie
fire was a dangerous novelty witnessed
in this city last night. 1t swept ten
acres of grass and was subdued by
farmers, fremen, policemen and street
railway employees, who attacked it with
brooms, blankets, rubber Overcoats and
sod. Many cars loaded with beef on the
Panhandle tracks were threatened, as
was a Knickerboclxer ice house and sew
era1 farm houses.
The scene of the fire was the prairie
between Ieavitt street and Western
avenue and Forty and Fifty-first streets.
The flames are supposed to have start
ed from sparks from the engine of a
southbound passenger train which
passed at $50 o'clock. For a time the
blaze snouldered, then broke out in
several places and, famed by the wind,
spread rapidly.

Secretly and Hint of q Surprise.

Secretly and Hint of a Surprise.
st. Joseph, Mo, Dec. 1.-THE griev-
ance committee of the Q. r. T. was in
session for three hours here last night,
and at the conclusion of the meeting 1t
was stated that the Santa Fe strike
would present a new phase within the
next few days-possibly within twenty
four hours. Seventeen members of the
general grievance committee attended
the meeting, which was SO exclusive in
its nature that even the place of hold
ing it was kept quiet. The members Of
the committee slipped into town in the
morning and it was only by accident
that their presence in the city was dis
covered
The members of the committee say
the condition of the strike was most
hopeful, despite the statements of the
Santa Fe officials to the effect that It
is all over.
Several members of the committee
talked freely enough about the strike.
but declined to discuss the meeting held
here, except to say that a coup would
likely be sprung within few days that
would likely place a different light upon
the strike. Operators from five roads
attended the meeting.

Small Audience Witnesses the Second

serve as an abatement to the interest

Although few in numbers those pres

piece by generously applauding the

greeted the performers continuously.
This is really one of the most deserv

the expenses Of the play, but this did
not in any manner dampen the ardor of
