EIGHT WERE FOR ACQUITTAE

1t is reported that one of the Jurors
In the Hamilton trial yesterday told the
story of the deliberations In the jury
room, and how after nearly forty hours
of wrangling a compromise agreement
was finally reached.
According to what he is reported to
have disclosed eight of the twelve jurors
were for acquittaI for thirty straight
hours. From the moment they retired
to the jury room, these men announced
their position and refused to bulge Jlf~
ror William H Gibson, who had sick
ness in his family, was sorely distressed,
and speedily elected the sympathies of
his colleagues. He begged them to come
to a decision of some kind so he could
get away. As he was one of those who
stood for acquittal, he had the majority
with him. About midnight, Tuesday
night, the jurors agreed upon a verdict
of manslaughter partly owing to Mr..
Gibson's distress.
Other considerations had their influence
upon the eight who favored acquittai.
One of these was that unless they gave
in there would be a disagreement and an
other trial at great expense to the coun-
ty. Moreover another trial IN HennepiH
county would be impossible since it would
not be possible to secure a Jury, and

GEN. OTIS IN ST. PAUL
TEMPORARILY ASSUMES POSITION
LEFT VACANT BY GEN. WADE.

LEFT VACANT BY GEN. WADE.
Mai. Gen. Otis, commander of the de-
partment of the lakes, and temporary
commander of the department of the Da-
kotas, arrived yesterday from Chicago,
accompanied by Inspector General c. II.
Murray as aid. The late commander-in in
chief in the Philippines will remain in
charge of the local department until a
successor to Brig. Gen. Wade is APP
pointed.
Gen. Schwann met Gen Otis at the de-
pot, and during his stay in st. Paul will
be the host Of his late comrade in arms
in the Philippines. The greater part of
the day was spent at the army building
by the new commander, who occupied the
time familiarizing himself with the de-
tails Of the business of the department.
He is not a stranger to this part of the
country, for twenty-six years ago he
served for two years as the Inspector
general of the department. Since then,
however, he has not been in the Twin
Cities, except for a brief visit in 1884.
Questioned as to his opinion of the
situation in the Philippines, he replied
that, as an officer, he was not at liberty
TO discuss 1t in a satisfactory way He
did say, though, that the Weather peo-
pie, as class, favored the United States
and many, If not most, of the common
classes were also in sympathy with the
cause Of the Stars and Stripes, but it
would be unwise to withdraw the protec-
ton afforded by the presence Of the
troops, as Ladrones would Immediately
become unruly and would advance upon
the towns and commit depredations.
The present stay of the general will
last until the end of the week, and after
that he will come to ST Paul whenever
his presence is required until relieved

Army Jokes with a Moral.

During the civil war;" said an ex-
army officer, "the authorities for some
reason were anxious to move troops up
the Tombigbee river. Word was sent
to the engineer in that district asking
what 1t would cost to run up the Tom
bigbee. That official got gay and re-
ported that the Tombigbee ran down
and not up, joke that promptly land
ed his head in the basket, as the mat
ter was serious.
"At the bombardment of Charleston
1t was extremely desirable to bring to
bear on the city an extra heavy gun
called by the men the Swamp Angel.
The gun took its name from the swamp
in which it stood, and to move 1t
through that Doggy morass was an en-
cheering feat of extreme difficulty.
However, the commanding officers were
determined to have the gun brought
within range of Charleston and issued
orders to that effect. At the same time
they sent word to the engineer having
the matter in charge of requisition
without regard to trouble or expense
for anything necessary to accomplish
the desired object. His first requisl-
ton called for men 90 feet 6 inches in
height. Another officer promptly took
the matter in charge, from which 1t can
readily be deduced that 1t is not a pay
ing investment to make jokes in the
army at the expense of your superiors."

"Tell a gooO story and stick to It,"
is an old maxim that is illustrated in a
story that is going the rounds along
the Rialto. A certain well known
actor fioaaRd into his home one morn
ing about 2 o'clock. The wife of his
bosom was waiting up for him. He
told her he had been out all the even
ing with one of their friends, Charlie
B., and then related an interesting
fairy story of how Charlie had taken
d crowd to supper, how funny Char
lie had been all the evening, how
well Charlie looked in his new suit,
how he said this, that and the other.
After telling a Is minute story, to
which the gentle partner of his joys
and out Of work periods listened with
respectful attention, but cynical mien,
he paused for breath. Then she, in a
confident now I've got you tone, said:
That's lovely romance you've been
giving me, and | hate to spoil it, but
Charlie has been here nearly all the
evening waiting to see you about an
engagement. He left only about half
an hour ago"
The teller of the tale looked rather
dazed for a moment as if he had been
struck. Then quickly gathering him
self together he assumed bold front,
with hands in his pockets, head thrown
back and, in defiant innocence and en-
phasizing each word, said:
well, that's my story, and I'm not
per.
