Forty jurors, all of the regular panel, except those serving in the JOlley case, were excused on Thursday morning until next Monday. It is stated that there are few men on the panel from outside places, who have been here for several weeks, but who have only an swered to their names three or four times. They complain that d hardship is being worked, not only because they are compelled to be away from their business or occupation, but they have to pay their own expenses while in Nome. and receive little or no compen- sation from the government, arising from the fact that although subpoenaed, they have not been called to serve on q jury.

HE IS DEAD
Officer finnegan Expired
 at 2::}O p. M.

Police Officer ThuS. Fipnegan died at 2:3e o'clUck this afternoon at Holy Cross hospital.
 Early on the morning of May 2S last, while taking lunch at the N. A. T. & T. Co.'S mess house, Mr. Finnegan ac- dentally shot himself in the right leg, while pulling his revolver out of his pocket. The bullet ranged downward injuring the knee joint. Dr. Rininger was called and extracted the bullet.
 The bullet wound was doing nicely however, up to yesterday, but the hab' its of life of the deceased were against a speedy recovery. and last night his condition showed very unfavorab ble symptoms: and he grew steadily worse until this afternoon, when he expired as stated above.
 Finnegan had been on the police force since Apri 1901, and he proved himself faithful officer. He formerly lived at Fort Benton, Mont.

But Seaward it Is Still
 ia.aCt.
SPECULATION RIFE
As to the Iii e ii Vii ' ii or a Few Brief
 Months.

Speculations are rife as to the time when the 'ice will go out" The ''old- est white inhab tant" is at loss for an opinion. Far out at sea the ice is still apparently solid and no sign of a steam CT can be seen. Along the shore, how ever, the ice is rapidly disappearing. Down the coast the ice is also said to be leaving rapidly, and for miles seaward none can be seen.
 From present appearances steamer cannot be expected for days to come. If one should strike a "lead" and get near Nome she would now experience great difficulty in landing passengers, to say nothing, of freight. A good southerly wind is needed to liar loose" the ice pack and unless this comes the ice may remain for another ten days or two weeks.
 That there are number of steamers en route to Nome may be set down as certain; as to the time of their arrival, that is extremely uncertain.
 In 1900 the, ice went out quietly on the morning of May l3; in 1901 it went out OF June :, and last year it departed for the most part on June l.
 This morning the shore ice opposite the N. C. Co. 'got move' and went westward distance of perhaps 50 feet.

 THE CASE Of the United States
 vs. Jolley CLOSE OF THE TRIAL The Evidence AdduCed Since Wednesday and the Att
 tOrneys Addresses.
CLOSE OF THE TRIAL

Rebuttal testimony in the case of the United States vs J. J. Jolley, charged with the wilful murder of Samuel James on Jan. 9 last. closed yesterday morning at l0:l7 o'clock and the gov ernment rested it's case. The remain der of the session was taken mp by the defense in submitting the instructions which they wished the court to give to the jury.
 When court convened at ? o'clock yesterday afternoon, Attorney C. D. Murane opened for the government, making an able and exhaustive review of the case from the standpoint of the prosecution. Mir. Murane spoke for more than an hour and a half, and he was followed by P. C. Sullivan for the defense. Mir. Sullivan also spoke with great force and ability aud reviewed the testimony in comprehensive way, reminding the jury that trial by jury had been inaugurated to protect the people from the tyranny of kings and courts. Mir. Sullivan closed shortly after five o'clock and the court ad djourn- cd until 9 o'clock this morning.
 It vas nearly 9:3O o'clock this morn ing before court opened and Mir. Fink immediately began his address. He spoke until after F, when court ad' journed until o'clock. Mir. Fink dis sected the evidence piece by piece. He charged that the inslnuations made by the prosecution that Jolley himself had placed the cooked pistol near James body were wholly unfounded for, said he "therc never was an atom of time while those shots were being fired that some human eyes were not upon him. No witnesses had testified that Jolley had made move after firing the first shot, or thathe had placed the pistol on the ground, and it must be conceded that the shots were fired as rapidly as any man in the west could fire single action gun. Fink also referred to the cap which covered the gun, claiming
