Is i'm the Hands of a Jury at Hertz
fort.
Charlotte, N. c., Jan. 20.-The case
against James E. Wilcox for the alleged
murder of his sweetheart, Ella Maud
Cropsey was given to the jury at
Hartford, N. c., at 4:3o o'clock this
afternoon after a trial which began a
week ago. The entire evidence was
read to the jury, after which the judge
delivered his charge, which consumed
an hour and half. He told the jury
that it could bring in verdict of MUIR
der in the first or second degree, or of
acquittal.
IF the defendant" said Judge Coun-
Gill, after wilful generalization and
elaboration and malice killed Ella
Cropsey, then your verdict should be
murder in the first degree.
IF the state has satisfied the jury
that the defendant killed Ella Cropsey
through malice, but without establish
ing the existence of wilful premedita-
ton and elaboration, then the verdict
should be murder in the second de-
gree.
IF satisfied of neither of these be-
yond a reasonable doubt, the verdict
should be one of acquittal."
Up to II o'clock tonight the jury
has not returned a verdict.

POLITICS IN COLORADO
Is IN A MIDDLE.
Terrell May Yet Emerge as United
States Senator.


Denver, Col, Jan. 2O.-Both houses
of the General Assembly ba'lotted for
United States senator at noon to-day
and Senator Henry NJ. Teller received
fifty votes, only one less than is need
ed. Senator Mcclure, a Democrat, re-
Trained from voting, but he said he
would vote for Senator Teller If it
should appear that he could be elect
ed. Only two Republican senators
were i'm the chamber when the vote
was taken and they did not respond
when their names were called.
Soon after the nine regular Republi-
can senators, with the two who were
unseated by the Democratic majority
and the eight contestants who were
sworn in on the steps of the Capitol
last night, assembled in the Leuten-
ant Governors room and formed a
separate%organi the Senate off,
GERS previously chosen being ordered
removed. A ballot was then taken for
senator, f. o. WolCott receiving nine
votes. Subsequently two of the regu-
larly elected Republican senators,
Drake and Cornforth left this gather
ing and returned to the Senate cham
Der, where they announced that they
would act with the regular Senate and
would no longer participate in a
farce"
Under the constitution Lieut.. Gov.
Haggott is the presiding officer of the
joint session, which is to meet to-mor-
row at noon to vote for senator. He
will insist that the body over which he
presided to-day was the regular Sen
ate and the vote for senator should be
accepted.
The Speaker of the House wouId
then be called upon to decide which
side was regular. If the Democratic
Senate should be recognized and the
House remain with its present mem
| bership, as now seems likely, Senator
Teller will be reelected. On the con-
trary, If the Republican Senate should
be recognized, the balloting will be
continued indefinitely.
e. o. Wolcott. the leading Republi-
can candidate for senator, and his fol-
lowers are urging the Governor to call
out the militia to place Haggott and
| the Republicans in possession of the
| chamber. Gov. Peabody said to-day
that he would not Interfere.
The Republican leaders in the House
| to-day refused. to carry out the VOL
| colt programme to unseat the clever
| Arapahoe Democratic members.
The Senate seems in continuous SEES
| sion, but will not remove any more Re
publicans, pending further aggression
! by the House Republicans.

AMERICANS READY
TO RESIST CUBANS.
DO Not Acknowledge Sovereign ty
Over Isle of Pines.


Havana. Jan 20.--The Americans re-
siding in the Isle of Pines deny the
general assumption of the Cuban gov
ernment that the United States have
no special interest in the island and
that it is not likely to insist upon the
eventual ownership of ii. In any
event they seem confident of having
the support of the United States, IL
necessary, in their resistance to being
governed and taxed by Cuban officials,
pending a settlement of the question
of the ownership of the island
Recently the American residents of
the island unitedly notified the alcalde
of the Isle of Pines and the Cuban
government of their intention to re-
sist, by foree, II necessary, the collec-
ton of taxes or any assumption OF
authority over the island by the Gu
ban government. The taxes are now
falling due and every American has
pledged himself not to pay them. The
Americans contention is founded on
the section of the Plat amendment
which expressly omits the Isle of
Pines from the boundaries of Cuba,
and leaves the title to II for future ad-
1ustment by treaty.

OVER A MILLION is
IN THEIR TREASURY.
Miners Union is Not, by Any Means,
Pauper.

NAhcFS' Union rs NOT DS ANY Means,
Pauper.
indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 20.-The first
thing on to-day's programme at the
Miners National Convention was the
reading of President John Mitehen's
annual report. Mr.. Mitchell received
the closest attention. His report re-
counted the hisory of the anthracite
coal strike and expressed confidence in
the judgment of the Strike Commits
sion. He said he had no fear of the
outcome of the arbitration.
TOuchlng conditions in Virginia and
West Virginia, President Mitchell said
the effort to secure for the miners the
same conditions that obtained in the
districts covered by the interstate
agreement had not met with the de-
gree of success that had been hoped
for. The effect of the injunction was
demoralizing to the miners in the Fair
mont region.
Secretary Wilson's report said that
the total amount donated by the differ
ent branches of the organization for
relief was $25S, 344. The total amount
received from the special anthracite as
sessment was $l,967 .026. making a to-
tai of $2,225.3 $40 from members of the
United Mine Workers. To this amount
must be added $419,954 donated by the
trades unions and the public, making a
grand total of $2,645, 324.
OF this sum. $500, POI was paid out
In relief. The total income from all
sources in 1902 was $3.107 925. and ex-
penditures $2,0S0S05, leaving a balance
in the treasury of 81, 027, 120.
Vice President T. L. Lewis, in his
annual report, discussed injunctions at
length, urging the necessity for con-
certed political action by the miners.
AT the afternoon session Frank
Thomas of Minersville, Pa, presented
President Mitchell with a gavel made
from wood taken from the house and
tomb of Patrick Henry of Charlotte
county, Virginia.
Several addresses We're made, includ-
ing one by L. H. Suddith of Montgom-
cry, w. Va, who was restrained from
speaking last year, with other miners
President Mitchell said:
Il have never despaired of organic
ing West Virginia, and by constant and
persistent effort we will place the lit
tie mountain state where it belongs
Judges Jackson, Mcdowell and Kellal
may contribute their efforts to pre-
vent the organization from gaining a
foothold in West Virginia, but greater
men than they have failed, and as long
as the United Mine Workers exist we
will strive to gain a foothold there"
The West Virginia delegates viii
make a strenuous fight before the con-
vention for an increase in wages.

She Created n sensation When He
Spoke In the House.
Washington, Jan. 20.-The House to-
day passed the District of Columbia
appropriation bill and subsequently took
up the consideration of the Philippine
coinage bill. The general debate upon
the district bill was largely devoted
to the discussion of the Alaska bound
airy line dispute.
Mr.. Cochran of Missouri precipitated
the issue by denouncing as a coward
~ surrender the course of the State
Department.
Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa took up the
charge and countered with the charge
that Democratic administrations had
surrendered the territory between lati-
tudes 40 and $40 and also the republic
OF Texas
That was in the period of our weak
ness" replied Mr.. Cochran, when the
fear of the result of war with England
bore heavily upon public men. Now
in the time of our strength we supinely
permit another land-grab by the same
land-grabbing country"
Something of a stir was caused just
before Mr.. Cochran concluded, by an
unexpected interruption from the la
dies gallery. Mr.. Cochran was speak
Ing of the trucking policy of the
United States to Great Britain. When
that trucking ceased, Mr.. Cochran
said the people of Canada, now intense-
ly loyal to England, would change their
attitude.

young woman in clear ringing tones
All eyes were turned to the ladies' gal
leTy where the speaker leaned forward
defiantly as if she intended to say
something further. But a companion
pulled her back, and Immediately after
wards she left the gallery.

The sensational charge was made by
Mr.. LESSER himself at a meeting of the
Naval Affairs Committee this morning.
The question of the Holland torpedo
was up. and Mr.. Lessler, who was OPP
posing the authorization of additional
boats. told the committee that he had
been approached with a bride.
After some discussion. Mr.. Wheeler
