SULLIVAN s FATE
WITH THE JURY
Alleged Jury-Briber Is
Awaiting Verdict
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. H.-Arguments for the
defense of Alexander Sullivan closed to-
day and Assistant States ATTORNEY
Barnes followed and asked the jury to
send Sullivan to the penitentiary for con-
spiracy in connection with the corruption
OF juries in the civil courts here three
years ago
Attorney ODonnell made a strong plea
for his client and tried to show that the
West Chicago Street Railway COMPANY
was the real culprit He denounced
Lynch's testimony against Sullivan and
took to task the street railway company
and its directors, whom he called Jury
bribers' masters" 1t was common
knowledge, he said, that the West Chi
cago Street Railway Company had n de-
partment Of corruption and dishonor and
he wanted to know if the jurors thought
il possible that the road had not begun
bribery until 1897, when Sullivan made a
contract with the road. He also asked
the jury If it was reasonable that the
railway directors bribed or that they had
a penny.
Judge Smith finished reading his In
structions at 9 p. m and the case was
given to the jury. At IL o'clock tonight
the jury had not agreed and there was
no immediate prospect of its doing so.
Loud arguments could be heard from the
jury-room, and 1t was said the jury stood
about evenly divided for acquittal and
conviction. There is no chance for an an
nouncement before 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning, when Judge Smith will open
court to hear a report from the jury.

TEN FAMOUS SCOUTS TO
WATCH DOER MOVEMENTS
Pick Of the Canadian Plainsmen Will
Accompany Mounted Rifles to
South a frica

VANCOUVER, 3. c., Dec 21-Ten of
the best-trained scouts of the entire
mounted police force in the territories
and in the Yukon will accompany the
new force of Canadian Mounted Rifles,
which is to leave for South Africa at the
first Of the year. These men have been
picked from an entire scouting force Of
more than sixty. Many of them have
records dating back to the Riel rebellion
Of 1885. Most of them are half-breeds,
used to working in all kinds OF weather
and under every possible condition Of
man-huntirg.
Another innovation in the formation of
the force of nearly 1000 men who form the
new contingent is a field hospital, or
bearer. company consisting of fifty men.
This is a new branch of the Canadian
military service. The War Office in Lon
don is israccepting two additional sQuadrons
to the ones obtained the first draft of
800 men and these are to be selected next
week, mostly from British Columbia and
the Northwest.
Colonel Evans, who will command the
new contingent was formerly in charge
of the Canadian troops in the I<lc
and is one of the best-known officers in
the Canadian militia. He was at the
head of the second Canadian contingent
which went to South Africa a year and
half ago.

time acquired or should In the future ac-
quire. 1t decided that the plaintiffs in

defendants interests in the Portland mine
were not acquired under an agreement
made March IA. 1892. and that Doyle made
his first demand for the stock In cOntrO-

ONLY A SCHEME,
SAYS MORGAN
Senator Speaks Of the
Panama Canal Com
pany's Offer.
Declares That It Is an Attempt
g. g. to Retard Legis-
lation.

CALL BUREAU, 1906 G STREET. N.
W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-"I have
read the proposition of the Panama Canal
Company, cabled from Paris said Sena-
tor Morgan tonight, 'and do not regard
1t worthy of serious consideration. 1t is
but another attempt to retard the passage
of the Nicaragua canal bill during the
present session of Congress-
'In the first place the United States
cannot negotiate with the Panama Canal
Company for the purchase Of its interests
on the isthmus. This talk of the canal
company being willing to sell to the
United States Government at the figures,
$4o,000,000, named by the Canal Commits
sion is like so much hot air from Paris
blowing against the White House at
Washington to those who have given the
subject intelligent consideration.
'1t Is known that the Canal Commits
sion, Of which Admiral Walker was presi-
dent, never considered any proposition to
purchase the Panama canal property. The
commission had no authority to negotiate
for the purchase OF Panama canal Adj
miral Walker simply inquired of M. HUI
tin what he had to offer. so the commits
sion could report to Congress the facts
IN the case. If 1t should become necessary
for this Government to open up negotia-
tions for the possession of the Panama
ca nal property. the first step would be to
negotiate with the Colombian Govern
n;ent, the owner of the land, and next
with the French Government. to whom
the concession was granted. 1t is absurd
to discuss a proposition OF lthe Panama
Canal Company to sell out its Interests
to this Government. 1t will have no effect
upon the progress OF pending measures IN
Congress, and unless 1 am very much mis-
taken both houses of Congress will take
definite action in the direction of COM
mencing work upon the canal before the
present session adjourns.
"Of course, there Will be distractions of
various kinds thrown across the pathway
Of the Nicaragua canal project, but am
confident that President Roosevelt Is
deeply interested in the construction of
the canal, and he will render valuable as
sistance to friends of the measure in Con-
gress, so that those persons who are spec
ulating on defeating the bill by procrasti-
nation are apt to be disappointed when
the roll is called"
