the trial and he felt that 1t was only fair to the defendant and to the State that every effort should be made by this jury to reach an agreement of some kind. He would not under any circumstances even suggest that any one of the men holding an opinion which he believes to be just should change his opinion. but at the same time he believed 1t would be advisable for the jurors to return to their room and if necessary to review the evil dence of the case and to discuss and to attempt to decide points upon which their contention was based.
 In replying the foreman, said he was convinced that an agreement was impossible. All the evidence in the case had been carefully considered and thoroughly discussed and he was con- vinced that the opinions of the jurors had been firmly fixed. He added that the jurors desired to do everything in their power to reach an agreement and upon the suggestion of the judge they would retire and give the matter further consideration, but at the same time he was certain that 1t would be a fruitless task
 When Miss Patterson raised Iler veil her face was flushed and as she wait ed for the final word of the jury. the color came and went in rapid success sion. Every moment her eyes were fixed intently upon the jurors, but her gaze was not returned.
 A deadly pallor spread over her face when she bent towards her fath- CT. This evidence of weakness was apparent for only a moment, however. and from that time until a court of- ficer touched her on the shoulder she sat bolt upright, her lips firmly com pressed and gazing straight into the faces of the twelve men in the jury box. Then she arose and with firm step returned to tine little pen above the court room to await the result of the jury's further consideration.

COssAcKs ARE SENTIMENTAL.
Picturesque H0rsemen Honor and Re.
 spect the Dead.

Correspondence of the Associated Press--Mukden. Nov. 25.-Wild and rough as are the Cossacks. they are pe- culiarly sentimental and as susceptible as children to the emotion of the hour, whether 1t be anger or sympa- thy.
 One of the most striking sights I have ever witnessed was the whole of Mistchenkos division pay its re- spects to the remains of four Cossacks who were killed and mutilated before Sindee. It was some time back, just toward the end of the summer. The burial was fixed at a. m. Mistchen- ko and all his staff were there and the 4th China Regiment. to which the men belonged, was accorded the place of prominence in the ceremonies.
 There were no coffins available and the bodies were wrapped and plaited straw, but so smothered with wild flowers and native grasses that 1t was impossible to see the ghastly blood stains soaking through the covering. till the corpses were lifted from the stretchers to be placed in the grave. The churchIy accessories were scanty.
 An old table had been brought from deserted Chi1ese, hut and on it was placed an old regiment ikon and be- fore it a single bit of wax candle, the nearest approach to a taper that could be had. The priest of the Barn. aulski regiment officiated and he took his place before the table. The order hats off: pray" was passed down the line and Mistchenko, setting the exam ple, uncovered and bowed his head while the men knelt barehcaded, but each with his carbine bety-e4n his knees. The church accessories may have been poor and simple, but the temple was magnificent. It was Gods own house, a walled-in valley, with green hills rising on every side and over all rising a single peak that might have been the spire of this mighty cathedral.
 The service, simple but affecting. was soon over. The priest blessed the bodies and the stfetchers were raised shoulder high and borne up the hin past the massed regiments and the band playing dead march. Mist chenko and his stan followed on foot like the rest and after the Cossacks had placed the bodies in the open grave he threw a handful of earth and each officer and man in the regiment did likewise. Then the general shook hands with the priest. thanking him for his attendance on the dead, and also shook hands with and thanked the four Cossacks who stood in the grave to receive the bodies. Before the as- sembly was dismissed, Mistchenko briefly addressed the men. warning them under no circumstances to com init any reprisal on the dead or wound hands. And so far as I have heard

 Powers.

P0wers.
 St. Petersburg. Dec. 10.-(Corres- pondence of the Associated Press.)- The daughter of Bishop Ornatsky. a very holy man of the Russian church. lately deceased, has sent to General Kuropatkin a rude wooden cross with a remarkable letter praying the bless ing of Heaven on the Russian arms.
 The cross is of course only one of thousands of ikon and sacred symbols that have been showered on the army in the Far East. But the letter says that the cross Is from Jerusalem and has been in the ornatsky family for generations.
 While the Bishop was on his death bed he had & remarkable dream in which he thought himself serving at the front. where the cross in question led the Russians to victory. He charged his daughter just before his death to send the cross to Kuropatkin with his blessing, believing firmly that it would lead to ultimate victory.

RUMOR RESULTS IN
 MUCH EXCITEMENT Reported in BeSsemer That
 CornwelI Had Returned WAS NOT IN BIRMIN CHAM Said That Friends Came to Meet Him, But Found No cornweIl--B. R.,
 L. & p. Co Provides for Press Association.
WAS NOT IN BIRMINGHAM

Bessemer, February 26.-(Special.)- Much excitement was caused in Bes- semer this afternoon by the report that Captain Cornwel had returned to Ala bama and was in Birmingham. It is said a number of his friends went up to Bir- mingham to meet Captain Cornwel, but the former bank. president did not arrive. Although Bessemer people are taking lively interest in the return of Captain Cornwell to this city to face charges of embezzement of the funds of the Bes- semer Savings bank, some skepticism is apparent since he failed to arrive last Tuesday, according to schedule the ex- cuse being that he failed to catch the last ship from Truxilo, Honduras. 1t is now stated by Captain Cornwells friends that he will reach Bessemer next Tues- day and much interest is being aroused as the day draws near.
 It is reported in Bessemer that Captain Cornwell sent a cablegram to a man in Birmingham who was known to be dis interested in the matter, asking whether the offers of protection made to him If he would return and stand trial were sincere or merely a trap. This is not be- lieved by Captain Cornwells supporters In Bessemer, however.
 Important Privilege Granted.
 A committee from the Bessemer Press association, composed of E. A. Little, Rush Randall and T. T. Bradford went to Birmingham today to confer with the general manager and superintendent of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, in regard to providing accommodations for the Alabama Press association, which will meet in Bessemer next May. The officials agreed to fur nish cars free of charge to accommodate 300 or 400 delegates on the first day of the convention.
