Hawaiian judge Interp1els
Constitution.
Grants Right Of Trial BY Juiy.-


Judge Gear, OF the Circuit Court at Ho.
nolulv, las held that the guarantees Of the
United States CO.. ocstitution relating to trial
by jury are in full force in Hawaii, and he
accord ngly discharged two prisoners who
had been convicted by less thsn unsni-
nous verdict of the twelve jurors who tried
them. To the argument of the Attorney
General. that the decision would work ge.
neral Jail delivery of prisoners convicted
since .he annexation of Hawaii, Judge Gear
sail:
Tue Court finds that this defendant was
not given his constitutional right to be held
innocent until he bad been declared guilty
by tirelve jurors, and, believing that TO be
the case, this Court has TO option, under
its oath before God to support the laws Of
the land, but to order his release.
This is one Of the questions lett in DOUBT
Ly the recent dec sions Of the United States
Supreme Court in the insular cases. 1t is
not likely to he long, however, before thai
tribunal will be called upon to settle it al
least as tar as Hawaii is concerned In the
Philippines no jury trial is provided for
either in civil or criminal cases. by tht
code of procedure prepared under instruc
tions from Washington. Whether this omi
ssion is warranted under the constitution
remains fer the Supreme Court to say.

Chinese lRlirs Satisfactory.
So Says Lonsdowne.

Lord LansdowIs, The Foreign Secretary,
reply ing in the House Of Lords recently to
question of Earl Spencer, liberal, said the
chinese negotiations had made rapid and
satisfactory progress. The indemnity queS
was disposed of sih the exception Of few
minor points. There was still some question
ton whether the matter Of the commercial
f,cilities in China had not better be trans.
ferred TO some place other than Pekln, and
to some body more wieldy than the pre-.
sent Conference. Great Britain was still
in favor of the open door throughout China.
Tney could not complain that they had not
equal commercial advantages in the Yang
tse.Valley.
The Foreign Secretary also said that the
final strength of the Legation garrisons at
Pekin will probably be eighteen hundred
men, an that an additional force Of 5000
men would be distributed at important
points along the route to the sea
The Secretary regarded the Anglo Ger
man and the Anglo. Russian agreements
as satisfactory, and as tending 20 the main.
tenance of China's territorial integrity.

CHICAGO, Apr 25.-Wheat looked
like the beginning of the end of the
Phillips May corn deal was the feature
of speculation on Change to-day. AL
though heavily sold, this closed only

market independent of the manipula-
ton which has made speculation in the
May delivery a nerye-raeking propo-
sition, was shown by the yellow cereal
during to-day's session of the Board of
Trade. Phillips, the bull leader, sold at
least 100000 bushels of May. AL
though fluctuations were violent, the
which Phillips had admitted his will
ingness to SELL Meanwhile he bought
July freely. The market for May
opened Y lower to &c higher, at ATS
to 481ac. A big elevator house,
through his representative, offered Phil
lips 48c for 100000 bushels of May and
got it. Other shorts in wild alarm
tried to cover and sent the market to
45C, lnS ulSueSC price Oh the crop IOr
this delivery in few minutes. Phil
lips sold at the top and all the way
down to 48c. AT this price his realiz-
ing stopped and this gave rise to a
rumor that he had made private set
tlement with shorts. Fearing that the
market was about to collapse as did
following the private settlement of the
November deal, scattered longs hast
ened to unload and May broke to 47A.
Phillips at this point re-entered the
pit and a sharp rally to 1880 followed.
Later the market got back to AN, but
again recovered and the close was at
48, one-eightn under yesterday. 1t was
believed by many traders that the last
remnant of the May short interests
was eliminated to-day. To-days re-
ceipts were " cars, the smallest in
years. From this the general market
derived much of its bullishness July

CHICAGO, April 25.-Wheat - The
damage to the German crop has been a
failure. There are in the main unac-

be needed on the Pacific coast. On
these factors, the market has ruled

make public their replies to some two
thousand inquiries covering the entire
winter wheat belt which show almost
perfect conditions everywhere except in
Michigan. Rain is predicted on the Pa

IGNORANT ABOUT THE BIBLE.
criticism OF President Harper, of
Chicago University, of Many
Sunday School Teachers

President w. X. Harper, after max.
ing an investigation of the causes of
the widespread religious doubt and in
difference of the present time, comes
to the conclusion that the ignorant and
irresponsible Sunday-school teacher is
most to blame. In an editorial in the
December number of the Biblical
World, of which he is the editor, Pres
ident Harper says:
speaking generally much religious
doubt and indifference may be traced
to the instruction in the Bible received
in the Sunday school. Many man has
passed through paralyzing struggle
with doubt which might have been
avoided had there been no misleadinp
teaching as to the Bible given him
when child. This is due to the ig.
norance and narrow-mindednes of
many Sunday-school teachers. who
should be taught to handle their BIZ
BILE as theological students are taught
in any reputable seminary.
Goodness, spirituality and PRAYER
fulness can never of themselves make
suitable Sunday-school workers. The
teachers must be trained to regard
their Bibles from the historical point
of view and must be interpreters, il
they are to be trusted in shaping the
opinions of the young"

SAW MURDER IN DREAM.
Nebraska Arrest in the FuiIhart Case
as a, Result of Description
Furnished by Sister.

Indications are that Nebraska fugi.
tive murderer has been captured and
will be brought to justice through a
remarkable exhibition OF mental tele.
pathic interest existing between sis.
ter and brother. On the night of No.
vember 20 last w. H. Fullhart. a
wealthy cattleman living near Broken
Bow. Custer county, Neb.. was mur.
dered on his ranch. That night his
sister, Phoebe Fullhart. living on a
farm near Huntington, Ind, expert.
enced a remarkable dream. in which
she saw plainly every detail of her
brothers murder and went through
bitter struggle with the murderer,
she awoke in perspiring condition
aald was nearly .prostrated from a
nervous weakness.
The crime in Nebraska was not dis.
covered till two days later, when the
sister received news of it. She al
once forwarded a description of the
man she had seen kill her brother i'm
her dreams, and a suspected man tai.
lied in appearance exactly with this
description. He was arrested. and tbe
sister has sent her attorney. j. S. Bran.
yam, of Huntington, to assist in his
prosecution. Miss Fullhart described
exactly from her vision the wound in
her brothers head and other minor
details of the affair.

SIMILAR TO TUsKEGEE SCHOOL
industrial Institution for the CoIored
Youth of Southern ILL
nOis,

The colored people of southern Illi-
nois are much elated over the probably
successful elimination of plan which
has been under consideration for sew
eral months to build an industrial and
mechanical school modelled as far as
possible after the Tuskegee (Ala.) col.
ored school, of which Booker T. Wash.
ington is president.
The scheme took form several months
ago, when an organization was per-
fected known as the Cuba Libre Indus
trial association, having for its presi-
dent Prof. j. d. Aston, of Eldorado. a.
noted colored teacher. A large fund
has been secured, sufficient to warrant
the beginning of the work.
The first board of directors of the
new school is called to meet on jan
uary next to purchase land and draw
up specifications for the building. 1t
is understood that Prof Washington
has interested himself in the scheme.
The institution is to be located at
Eldorado, and will be open TO colored
students in the central Mississippi
states, and will be supported, besides
