Especial to News and Obserycr.)
Charlotte, N. c., Feb. 20.-Thcre is
every evidence that theaBishop trial Will
result in a mistrial. In fact your cor
respondent was informed tonight that
the jurors are hopelessIy divided, and
there is no chance of r~econciling the
wide division that exists.
So far as it can be learned the jury
stands three fer murder in the second
degree, six for manslaughter and three
FOR cycusab1e homicide. The latter sim
pIy means tha the three jurors think his
actions were III self-defcnsc.
Judge Neal was informed tonight that
the jury was ready to report that it
could not agree. He notified the deputy
sheriff in charge that it was his de-
sire that the jury be held together in
order that a verdict might be reported.
A second time Judge Neal was Informed
tlat the jurors could not agree and that
they wished to be discharged, but thc
Judge has decided to hold the men to-
gcther until morning.

OUT B BALLS
Of FIRE.
Furious Negro Shot Down as
He Quits His Fort,

(By the Associated press.)

New Orleans. La, Feb. 20.-Aftcr hold
ing half a hundred policemen at bay Tor
several hours, during whlch scores 81
shots We're exchanged. Ia Fayette sims.
a desperate negro. was killed by the
police early today in a negro boarding
house. situated on South Rampant street.
The room in which he was beseiged haG
to be set on fire and the fire department
called out before Sims could be driven
from his post. As he attempted 20 es-
cape, still carrying his un, he was shot
down. The body was taken to the morgue
without any demonstration from a mob
of several thousand negroes, who crowd
cd the vicinity of the tragedy.
The origin CT the trouble was trivial.
Sims occupied a room in the boarding
house in which there We're seven beds.
ON retiring last night he locked the door.
and when the landlord early this morn
ing asked him to open the door so th4t
another lodger might be admitted, Sims
refused. Then the landlord sent for the
police. Efforts to persuade Sims to opcr
tho door failed and a hole was smashed
in it. Through the aperture Sims began
shooting. One bullet knocked a pisto.
from the fingers of Officer Winston and
shattered the lantern which the officer
carried. Thereupon additional policemen
We're sent for and the house surrounded
When the reinfcrcements had arrived
the negro landlord and an officer again
went to the room and pleaded with Sims
TO come out and surrender.
NO, | went he answered with al
oath, I'll shoot if you don't go away.
am not going TO leave here. They'll
burn ne in oil. They'll fry me-"
Sims had piled some CT the furniture
in the room against the door and was
prepared to fight for his life. AS the
landlord and the officer retreated, tho
desperate fired at them without doine
any damage. All efforts TO induce the
prisoner to surrender having proved III
effective, Superintendent Journey decided
that there was nothing to do but to make
the negro come out. An alarm was
turned in and a portion Of the fire de
partment brought to the scene.
A quantity of cotton, oil and sulphur
was sent for, the cotton rolled into balls
and saturated with oil a match applied
and the blazing substance hurled into the
room, every avenue of escape being
guarded. The furniture in the room
caught quickly, filing the place with
smoke ard flames. Sims hung on to hie
hiding place until he was nearly suffo-
Gated and then made q break to escape
As he appeared at the door, Patrolmar
Fred Smith fired at him. The negro
staggered, mortally wounded. Instantly
other policemen fired on him and he fell
dead.
The french ~cxtinguished the flames ant
the body was dragged out and taker
through a lane of excited negroes to the
police station.
Examination of the room following the
tragedy showed that Sims had gotte1
possession of Officers Winstein's rcvolycl
after shooting it from his hands.

All tho dead and injured were work
mon at the fort.
The explosion could be heard for mics
round Accounts as to how the fatal
blast was set off differ. One report has
it that the men were filling a 13-inch
shell. while another is that the mon were
removing a powder charge from a shell
and undertook to unwind a fuse, con-
Meeting the powder chamber with the
percussion cap. This caused sufficient
friction to set off the cap and Explode the
she'll. Major Powell, chief surgeon at
Fort Hamilton, was among the first to
reach the scene of the catastrophe and
with fort troops removes the dead and
injured from the wrecked magazine.

Liverpool was only two points lower to-
day, and with a holiday here Monday no

the small sales in the South show diff
Guilty in the way of getting cotton.
Weather is very bad, receipts arc light
for thu reason, and with the whole trade
at sea, the tone keeps strong. As far as
New York goes our stock is going out
rapidly, and with spot cotton in the South
ten points, it can't be brought to New
York for $50 or $50 on futures. The
speculator knows what thai means. We
would caution against short selling Of
May or the Immediate options as this is
very dangerous. We would take risks
on the short side of August on very good
advance around $50. When the movement
picks up With better weather. there VIII
be a fill of cotton for sale and ten cents
is a big price. Go slow on the short side
ard let selling be in the July or August
futures It's time 10 begin to look at the
other side of the picture. We don't want
to sell May, however. Bulls want to see
ten cents on the board and may out up
Liverpool on Monday. The situation IS
one most dangerous if bulls attempt to
realize. Do not buy on less than a thirty
or forty point break.
Cotton futures ranged today as fol-
lows.

FORAKER ACT SUSTAINED.
Decision Anirms ConstitutionaIity of
Revenue Tax on Goods I'm
ported from Porto Rico.

New York, Aug. 15.-Judge Ray in
the United States circuit court Friday
handed down an opinion sustaining the
constitutionality of the Foraker act,
which provided a new revenue tax on
merchandise brought into the United
States from Porto Rico, after the island
ceased to be a foreign country. The de-
cision sustained demurrer interposed
by the United States in action COM
menced against it by the sugar importing
firm of Lascelles e Co.. of New York.
The firm imported cargo of sugar from
Porto Rico On June IL, 1899, which was
placed on it's arrival in a bonded ware
mousse. The entry was liquidated No
vember IA, 1899, under the existing
O1ngley tariff act. On June the entry
was rellquidated and duties reassessed
under the Foraker act. The firm pro-
tested against the imposition of any and
all duties. Finally, under protest, So, 500
duty was paid and suit for it's recovery
Instituted. The government demurred,
claiming that the goods were dutiable
under the so-called Foraker act and
Judge Ray sustained the demurrer. The
real question at issue and one not
previously raised was that portion of
the Foraker act which provided for the
assessing of merchandise at bonded
warehouses at the time the new law went
into effect.
