sTRoTHER JURY DlsAeREEs.

Stood Seven for AcquittaI and Five
for Conviction When Discharged.
st. Louis. April 21.-The jury in the
case against William Strother, the ne
gro charged with the murder of A. D.
Cooper, the millionaire, who was
killed in a bath house several months
ago, was unable to agree ON verdict
after being out all night, and was
discharged by Judge Ryan. The jury
stood seven for acquittal and five for
conviction. The standing of the Jury
caused great surprise. After the jur,
retired it was thought verdict would
be reached in a shsrt time, because of
the strong case made by the prosecu-
ton. Strother was present in court
when the jury was discharged, and
appeared much relieved over the out
come of the trial. His case will go
over to the fall term Of court.

comfortably on the soft leather seat,
his glimy face, tousled black hair and

She ran blindly after him, dizzy
with visions of a sickening collision on

A burly policeman joined in the chase,
and recruits swarmed up. seemingly
from the ground.
Suddenly tall young man IL a long
ulster appeared around the corner
ahead of the flying White Arrow.
Jam your lever backw he shouted.
But poor Nose was too frightened to
obey. He only chung tighter to the
controller, pushing it to the third
notch. The carriage shot forward. AS

he sprang out almost directly in it's
path.
He waited till it sped alongside, then
quick as a flash flung himself on the

then reached over the back of the seat
and seized the controller.
Lift your foot" he commanded.
Nose, with face very white under its
dirt, obeyed meekly.
Now, youngster, where did you get

The tall young man seated himself
calmly, backed the rrnabout slowly
and turned it around, following the
direction of Noses trembling finger.

AGITAToR DIES OF WOUND
John Kensit, the Religious Crusader,
Fails to Recover from Injury
Inflicted in n Riot.

LIVERPOOL, Oct. S.-John Kensit, the
anti-ritualistic crusader, who was seriously
injured September rs at Birkenhead, near
Liverpool, by being struck with a chisel
thrown at him after he had addressed a
meeting, died today of pneumonia, super
vening from the wound.
His son, who is participating in the anti
ritualistic campaign and who was recently
imprisoned for refusing to find bail to
keep the peace by abandoning holding meet
ings, was permitted by the home secretary
to visit his father yesterday.
Young Kensit was escorted by the police
to the hospital where the elder Kensit
had been under treatment since the day
he was injured. After an affecting meeting
the son returned to prison.
The elder Kenslt's protests against the
confirmation of ritualistic bishops on sew
eral occasions caused sensational scenes.
Among the most prominent incidents Of the
deceaseds career was the disturbance which
he created at st. Cuthbert's church, Ken
sington, on Good Friday. 1898. by his protest
against the alteration Of the cross ac-
cording to the Roman Catholic view.

TAKES BRAGG FROM HAVANA
President Moves Consul 90 Hong Kong
for sighting Cuban
People.

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-Edward S. Bragg,
consul general at Havana. has been trans
ferred to the post OF United States consul
general at Hong Kong. taking the place of
wildam A. Rublee. who has been trans
ferred to the consulate at Havana.
The change in the Havana general con-
sulate has been in contemplation for almost
three months. 1t was decided that 1t was
necessary to make the change and the only
question was where General Bragg could
be placed without substantial loss.
Although It is realized that General Bragg
has been guilty OF a lack Of judgment in
making rather contemptuous criticisms of
the Cuban people, as he was not directly
responsible for its publication, the presi-
dent decided to look on his case with a
lenient eye. Early I'm July General Bragg
wrote a letter to his wife at her home in
this country, in which he used this Lam
guage:
Uncle Sam might as we'll try to make
a whistle out Of a pigs tail as to try to
make something out of the Latin race"
The letter was published on July IL.
The new appointee at Havana, like Cen
eral Bragg. is a Wisconsin man. He was
originally appointed as United States consul
at Prague, Austria, in $780, and retired
from that post in 1898 He re-entered the
consular service in 1901, going directly to
Hong Kong.

BUDA PEST Hungary, oct. s.-Thc

Kossuthist, declared that the recent o,

Of the admistr alton OF the common affairs
Of Austria Hungary had been unavailing
and asserted that Austria was trying to
despoil and ruin Hungary with the conni-
vance Of the emperor-king.
Amid a tremendous uproar which his re-
marks created, Herr Barabas shouted that
while he bowed respectfully before the
king, he must adhere to his opinion regard
ing the emperor. Barabas was thereupon
called to order and was informed that II
he used such expressions he would not
be allowed to speak. This led the Leftists
to declare that all steps to arrive At an
agreement with Austria would be blocked.
Premier De Sell then rose and, speaking
at first amid an uproar, said:
"ft has been insinuated that II is his
majesty's intention to ruin the destiny of
Hungary. This statement | must solemnly
and categorically repel. l declare that in
these delicate and difacult negotiations
with Austria his majesty has not exerted
any influence upon me. l have the right to
ask you to believe this, not as politicians
swayed by party passion, but as serious
men. I assure you his majesty has always
preserved the most strict neutrality"
His majesty explained that while recog-
nlzlng the undying merits Of Kossuth, the
latter had placed himself at variance with
the whole nation in maintaining that the
emperor of Austria could never be king OF
Hungary, hence II was impossible for the
government to attend the festivities in
