TO AGREE.
Jury in Farris Doodle Case
Stands 8 for Conviction.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 1.-THE jury
before which State Senator Frank H.
Farris was tried on a charge of bribery,
in connection with alum legislation,
came into court at 10 o'clock and re-
ported that it had failed to agree on a
verdict. The judge thereupon discharg-
ed the jury from further service.
The foreman reported that the jury
had stood eight for conviction and four
for acquittal. This necessitates a new
trial. The jury had been out exactly 16
hours.
Senator Farris was the first of the in
dicted members of the legislature to be
tried on charges of bribery. He was
tried on a direct charge of receiving 81
900 and this being distributed among
seven members of the committee on
criminal Jurisprudence for holding up
the bill introduced to amend the law
prohibiting the use of alum in baking
powder. This money, the testimony went
to show, came from Daniel J. Kelley, of
New York, who was a representative Of
the baking powder trust, and was al
legged to have been handed to the ac-
cused by former Lieut.. Governor John
A. Lee. This was the testimony of Lee,
who appeared as witness for the state.
A letter purporting to have been writ
ten by Lee to Kelley. returning the 81
600, was presented as evidence, but Lee
denied the authorship of it.

WHEAT CORNER.
st. Louis Bulls Take a New
Turn on Market.
Buy Up All the Insurance on
the Elevators.
1T SHUTS OUT SHORTS.
December Option Is the Object
of Attack.
Made Impossible for Outsiders
to Store Grain.
LT SHUTS OUT SHORTS.

ST. Louis. Nov. IA plan to corner
the st. Louis December wheat market
by the buying of all the possible insur-
ance on the wheat in elevators, both on
the east side and in this city, is out
lined in information given to the Re-
public by insurance men.
Corwin H. Spencer, John T. Milliken,
Thomas Akin and Herman Kuehn are
mentioned as the leaders in a movement
which was begun last September, which
makes it seem probable that it will be
absolutely impossible for outsiders to
store their December wheat in ST. Louis
elevators.
The supply of wheat, it is said, is
greater than the bulls anticipated, and
to prevent delivery on the December
deal they have cornered the insurance
market on wheat
OF the 120 insurance companies taking
business in st. Louis, it is said that
every one of them has written policies
on St Louis and East St Louis eleva-
tors aSgregating about s., 500 000
The insurance far exceeds the visible
supply in the elevators, but by taking
out insurance for the full capacities of
the warehouses at the marginal price
of wheat, the bulls hope to make it i'm
possible for outsiders to store their
grain, which would preclude the insur-
ing of it and necessarily prevent the
borrowing of money on the part of
shorts, who would practically be frozen
out of the market

He KITED ACROSS.
S. f. Cody Finally Succeeds In
His Attempt.

London, Nov. 7.-After several fall
ures S. F. Cody today succeeded in
crossing the channel in his kite boat.
He left Calais at IL o'clock last night
and reached Dover thirteen hours later
He encountered much shipping and had
some narrow escapes.
Cody had previously made two unsuc-
cessful attempts to cross the channel
from Dover to Calais in a collapsible
boat drawn by a kite on October 10 and
November 4, respectively
The kite he employed was somewhat
on the principle of box-kite and was
capable of lifting several tons. The
boat weighed four tons and was decked
with canvas. 1t resembled miniature
submarine boat. A combined steering
gear manipulated the kite and the
boats rudder alike and enabled Cody to
nnaneuver with comparative ease.

DEATH TOCSIN FOR RAzORs
Paste, Two Minutes and Clean Face
from Chemical Shave.

New York. Nov. THE ancient steel
and strop is doomed. No more the razor
plain or safety; no longer the slashes of
the amateur or patches of fuzzy capil-
laries in spots. A clean face is promised
all humanity hereafter in two minutes
time.
This is the announcement of Dr. w.
E. Dryfus, chief chemist of the depart
ment of public charities and Bellevue
hospital.
Today DR.. Dryfus finished his prepar-
alton of the hospital formulary which
includes among .SsS recipes the follow
ing:
Barrii sulphidi, 25 parts.
Saponis pulvis, 5 parts.
Talci veneti pulvis, 35 parts.
Tritici farinae, 35 parts.
Benzaldehydi, quarter solution.
Apply this paste to the face. wait two
minutes and it will give the same re-
suits as q tclean shave" says the
chemist. Remedies for delirium tre-
mems and a disinfectant for telephone
receivers are also among the formulae.

TOM WATSON FOR GORE.
Populist Leader Heads Armed Fac
tion in Georgian Feud.

Thomson, Ga, Nov. Thomas e.
Watson, candidate for vice president in
1896, some time leader of the Populist
party and author of 1.-The Story of
France" and Napoleon" has for the
past two days been at the head of an
armed faction representing the ultra
prohibitionists of the town, which for
a time threatened to meet in bloody
combat the so-called liquor element,
which was also under arms waiting for
trouble.
McDuffie county is dry under the
Georgia local option law. but there
have been numerous charges that blind
tigers were being operated. In these
Mr.. Watson has taken hand and for
some time great bitterness has existed
the leaders of the faction which was
charged with encoura ging the violations
of the liquor laws.
Matters were precipitated a few days
ago, when Mr.. Watson was informed
that a young man of the town had F.
piled some opprobrious language to him
before crowd in local barber shop
Meeting the young man on the street
few hours later Mr.. Watson told him
what he had heard. He not only admit
ted his remarks, but repeated them
with curses. Bystanders prevented a
personal difficulty.
Mr.. Watson's antagonist and his
brothers proceeded to arm themselves,
whereupon Mr.. Watson also armed him
self. Friends of both sides were quickly
under arms as well and for a time it
seemed impossible to prevent bloodshed.
Every dealer in the city handling fire
arms and ammunition was bought out
and trouble of a serious nature was ex-
pected The matter was finally adjust
ed through the Intervention of older
citizens, who acted as Intermediates.
Both factions have now laid aside their
arms.

1.-THE action of the president in the
Panama matter is not only in the

Of the United States
This is right which we acquired
by the treaty, not gratuitously con-
Rerred. but in return for an important
compensation, for in the same article
the government of the United States
guarantees positively and efficacious-
ly to New Granada by the present
stipulation the perfect neutrality of the
before mentioned isthmus. with the
view that the free transit from the one
to the other sea NAV not be interrupt
ed or embarrassed in any future time
while this treaty exists; and in conse-
quence the United States guarantees in
the same manner the rights of SOW
erelgnty and property which New Gra-
nada has and possesses over the said
territor@Y.'
The close connection thus created
between the two governments was
Wen set forth by President Polk in his
message transmitting the treaty to the
senate.

OPIUM-SMUddLINd RING.
Extensive Operations Uncovered by San
Francisco Officers.

Extensive Operations Uncovered by San
Francisco Officers.
San Francisco, Feb. 1.-THE opera
tions of an opium smuggling ring,
which is said to have its headquarters
at Seattle, have been uncovered in this
city, and one Of the gang has narrowly
escaped arrest. February 8 the Port
land customs officers notified Collector
Stratton that they had seized trunk
full of opium that had been sent as bag
gage from Seattle to Vallejo. They
gave the number OF the trunk check
and said that when they seized the
trunk it contained 1870 fve-tael cans OF
opium, valued at about 81 900. They
left one tin of opium in the trunk and
sent it to Vallejo. The local custom
officials wtached tho trunk until it was
delivered to the room of E. NJ. Morgan
in this city. Morgan, who is thought
to have been warned, was not on hand
to receive the smuggled stuff and has
not been found.
The custom men believe that there is
a ring of smugglers operating in this
city, and having men all along the
coast from Los Angeles to Seattle.
