Barry Case Postponed.

The Barry case gets another post
ponement. The supreme court heard
the arguments of the attorneys and
granted ten days for filing briefs. AS
Judge Cochrane had been engaged in
the case on the first trial the court
called in Judge Pollock of Fargo to
assist in hearing the case. The action
is a peculiar one, and is raised for
the first time in the state. Barry MUIR
dered his hired man, Mellum, claiming
criminal intimacy between the MUIR
dered man and Barry's sister. He was
convicted and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, but secured a new trial
on the ground that the court had
erred in the charge. On the second
hearing the jury made the remarkable
record of offering to agree on ver-
dict If the court would agree to a GER
tain sentence, and later disagreeing.
The states attorney feared the Cava-
lier county people were too sympa-
thetic and asked a change of venue,
which was bitterly opposed by the de.
tense. The change was granted to
Walsh county, and the defense asked
the supreme court to issue a writ Of
certiorari, which is being heard.

MARTIAL LAW IN EFFECT.
Consular jurisdiction at Newchwanq
AnnuIled.

Newchwang, March 29.-The foreign
consuls had conference with the civil
administrator during the day. The
latter informed them that the full in
tention of Russia's order was to pro.
claim martial law and also to annul
consular jurisdiction and that the same
already was annulled.
The British consul interpreted the
order as not declaring martial law.
The other consuls were unable to COM
prehend Russia's intention. The ad-
ministrator agrees with the consuls to
suspend a rigid enforcement of said
order until the foreign governments
act in order to lessen the complica-
tons.
The Americans here call attention
to the apparent defeat of American
aims regarding placing consuls in Man
churia by the execution of Russia's
order.
American and British flags were re-
moved by the Russian military from
the property of citizens of American
or British nationality.

The war department has started
more trouble for itself by Directing to

ncn-navigable above Fargo. All mu.
nicipal railway and other bridges must
still be constructed with draw at.
tached at great expense and the citi.
zens endeavored to have the stream de.
clared unfit for navigation so bridges
could be more cheaply constructed.
The war department objected because
the stream might some time be con.
verted into canal and used for the
transmission Of war supplies, If there
was q war with Canada, making Fargo
q base. Fargoans are now contending
that II their city is such strategical
point a military post should be es.
tablished there.
