FOR A STRUCK JURY.

Arguments in favor OF the petition for a
struck jury TO try the cases of Sprague
against the town of Calais and McKinstry
against Collins, docketed for trial at the
March term Of Washington county court,
we're made Tuesday at the city clerks office
by j. Lamson Of Cabot and w. A. Dut-
ton Of Hard wick. Judge j. H. Watson and
Assistant Judges Edgerton and Huntley
heard the arguments.
The status Of these two important cases is
familiar to those who have watched the
pre- ceedings Of Washington county court
The trial Of the Sprsgue case was about
half C, mpleted at the last September term,
when Presiding Judge Rowell was taken
i'll, and the trial was never completed.
The jury disagreed at the trial OF the Nc
Kinstry-Collins case, also tried at the last
September term OF court. Counsel now
claim that st uck jury will be the only
absolutely impartial panel that can be
secur d.
Mr.. Dutton argued against struck jury
in the Sprague case and H. G. Shurtleff in
the McKinsry case.
The motion was overrued by the Court
in the case of Sprague against the town of
Calais and granted in the case OF McKin.
stry against Collins.

"The prospects Of the regulars OF leavin g

Washington, Dec. 14.-At a meeting
OK the ways and means committee
Friday for the final consideration of
the Philippine tariff bill Representa-
tive Robertson (dem., La.) said he
would vote for the bill in the house,
and Representative Mccall (rep.,
Mass.) announced that he would vote
against it. With these exceptions the
republicans of the committee ex-
pressed themselves in favor of the
measure and the democrats opposed
to il by vote of seven to five on
party lines.
Representative Richardson (Tenn.) }
presented to the house the minority
report on the Philippine tariff bill,
signed by all the democrats of the
ways and means committee except
Mr.. Robertson (La.). The report says
in part: "The measure is but anoth-
er step in the well-marked line Of
Imperialism. 1t is enacting a policy
Of pure colonialism and is the worst
form of that policy. We are opposed
to our government attempting to hold
territories as colonies and treating
y,
and imposing upon them govern
ment of force. This is the method
of the empire instead of that of a re-
public. We oppose the whole policy
of the majority in dealing with the
Philippine archipelago. We believe
that instead of the effort they are
making to set up and hold permanent
colonies there we should long since
have inaugurated policy assuring to
the people OF those islands stable
government and their ultimate inde-
pendence."
comparison Of the trade with the
Philippines with the cost of maintain
ing the army is made with the as
sertion that at the end of the next
year the Philippines will have cost
the United States $45O,0OO,OOO.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 14.-Mrs.
Carl Atheno, wife of the alleged hyp-
notist and slumberer, who spent six
days under ground at Kansas City
and was dug up after an interment of
TWO days in Omaha, AYERS that her
husband is fakir. Mrs. Athena de-
clared that air was admitted to Ath-
eno's grave through the shaft down
which the public looked, and that
food and drink were passed to him in
the same way. This was given to
him in small quantities, and at night,
when there were, of course, no specta-
tors present. Mrs. Atheno saws that
she herself lowered food to her hus-
band in this way. A desire for re-
venge prompted Mrs. Athena to make
her exposure of her husbands alleged
methods. Athena has deserted her,
and now the woman who watched be-
side his grave night and day while he
was buried here has become a nemesis
and asserts that if possible she will
put him behind prison bars.

IN the crisis now pending between
Chill and the Argentine republic The
fact has not been made known official
ly. nor will it be for obvious diplo-
matte reasons. The claim is made
that Chilli has shown great patience
and forbearance. In the present con-
troversy with Argentina treaty be-
tween the two countries is involved.
1t is one which provides for the neu-
trality of a strip of country and
water course now part of the Ar

claimed that Argentina was fortify-

treaty stipulation. Argentina, on the

VenezueIa's Impudence.
Willemstad, Curacao, Dec. IA
There has been halt in the exchange
of communications between Germany
and Venezuela, owing to the publica-
tion in the newspapers of Caracas of
cable dispatches from the United
States setting forth that the govern
ment at Washington will not oppose
any steps which Germany may take
to enforce her rights in Venezuela
with the exception of preventing the
annexation of Venezuelan territory.
AS a result the newspaper attacks on
Germany have ceased, but the semi
official papers are now attacking the
United States, saying that Washing
ton, in authorizing Germany to take
action in her dispute with Venezuela,
looks upon the latter country as being
part of the territory of the United
States. 1t is believed here that Ger
many, at the end of : the present
month, will take steps to obtain a
due acknowledgment of her claims for
So 100000 arising from losses sus-
tanned by German citizens during the
last revolution here and disallowed
by Venezuela.
