OUR JURY LAW.

No time is being wasted in court
this week in securing & jury to
try William Barry for the alleged
murder OF Andrew Mellen, but it
<may be pointed ont IS a weakness
of the North Dakota jury law that
in New Jersey not SO very long
ago jury to try the four men
who killed Jennie Bosschieter was
secured in less time than was
taken to examine the first three
jurors called in the case now on
trial. In New Jersey the essenti-
al qualifications required of a
juror are intelligence and an oath
that the man under examination
can render fair and unbiased
judgment The fact that he has
read or heard of the case, or even
that he has formed an opinion
based upon what he has read or
heard, is not a bar to service.
This is good sense, and there is
no reason why it is not equally
good law. In practice the good
result is shown in the Bosschieter
trial. The circumstances were of
q nature to render the securing of
a jury matter of extreme diff
Guilty under any custom other
than that which obtains in New
Jersey. The crime WIS peculiarly
atrocious; 1t was one to arouse
intense passion and prejudice.
In addition every detail had been
given the widest possible publ
city. In spite OF all this only two
hours we're consumed in securing
twelve men to try the accused
The North Dakota law might we'll
be amended 10 conform to that on
the statute books Of New Jersey.
Justice would certainly be ex-
pedited, and there is nothing to
show that any one would suffer.

mission appointed by the Cuban consti-

the conduct of Cuban elections has COM
pleted it's work n will probably pre-
sent it's project of electoral law to the

into columns corresponding to the num-
Der of political parties in the field and
that each column shall be distinguish
ed by the mark Of a party, in order to
prevent the deception of voters who can
neither read nor write.
The project further provides hat the
electoral boards shall be in the hands
of representatives elected by the politi-
cal parties and presided over by judi
cial functionaries; it also prohibits the
governmental power from intruding in
the elections.
Sailors and soldiers of the Cuban re-

tue of their office, bear arms, are pro-

Boats-The Men Use Knives In Their
Fight With the Crew-FinaiIy SUBJ
dued, All Are Landed-They suffer
Greatly Before Reaching Places of
Safety.

st. John, N. F., June 26.-The Orient
Steam Navigation Company's steamer
Lusitania, Captain McNay, from Liver
300 passengers on board, was wrecked
last night off Cape Bollard. No loss of
life occurred. All the passengers were
rescudd. The Lusitania was bound
round Cape Race for Montreal, with a
large cargo and a ship load of passen-
gers; she mistook her curse in a dense
fog and went ashore near Renews,
twenty miles north of Cape Race, be-
fore daybreak. The ship ran on a reef
n hangs against a cliff.
The passengers, who are mostly immi-
grants. were panic stricken. They
stampeded and fought for the boats,
but were overcome by the officers and
trouble and a prolonged struggle with
the rougner element among the passen-
gers. who used knives. The women
n children were first landed and the
men followed. The crew stood by the
ship.
The passengers OF the Lusitania had
a terrible experience. The first knowl-
edge which they had of the disaster was
when, owing to the ship rasping over
the rocks, they were all hurled from
their berths by h shock. Many of
them were bruised and they all hurried
on deck in their night clothes. A scene
of great excitement ensued. Five hun
dred persons were clamoring to escape,
while the crew tried to pacify them and
launch the boats.
The male passengers, in their attempt
to seize the boats. trampled the women
under foot and fought the crew with
knives. Some of the more cOol-headed
of the passengers assisted the crew in
III effort to get out the boats.
The Eomen and children rescued were
almost naked. Drenched with spray,
they were pulled up the cliffs by the
coast people. Some of the boats We're
demolished in the surf while attempt
ing to and and their half drowned oc-
cupants held on to rocks shivering with
cold, until rescued.
This morning the unhappy passen-
gers, after shivering for hours on the
hill top, tramped over weary miles IN
their endeavor to reach the houses OF
the fishermen, where they are now shell
tered.
T Previous to reaching the cliffs, the
passengers passed two hours of terrible
anxiety On the wreck.
