New York, May with the jur!
which is considering her case still on
Nan Patterson sits In her cell in tn
Tombs buoyed up by the hope that o
the end Of their deliberations the l:
men will agree to a verdict Of not gull
ty. Miss Patterson's hopes are based
partly on rumors which were current
about the criminal courts building
Wednesday afternoon that the first
ballots taken in the jury room were
decidedly In her favor. The jury has
had the case since shortly after o.
clock.
During the afternoon the jury sent
to the court room for articles Of cloth
ing worn by Caesar" Young at the
time he met his death and for the skel-
eton which was exhibited during the
trial by the prosecution In Its endeav-
or to show that the victims OF the
tragedy could not have inflicted the
wound himself.
The Jury was taken out to dinner
at $3.50 o'clock. They were surround
ed by a platoon Of policemen and fol-
lowed by a great throng. As they
made their way toward restaurant
the jurymen were greeted by cries Of:
"Set her free" "set Nan free, she de-
serves It"
It was 1905 o'clock when the jury
returned to the criminal courts build
ing after dinner and resumed Its con-
sideration of Its case. !.
Later.
Having failed to reach a verdict and
declaring that they were hopelessly
disagreed, the jury, in the Mana Patter-
son case was formally discharged. at
2:30 O. clock Thursday morning,
The case was given to the jury at
o'clock Wednesday and, after de-
liberating IL hours, the jury came In
to court at 1880 o'clock Thursday
morning and informed Recorder Goff
that they had failed to reach verdict.
The jury declined the recorders offer
to aid them by advice on any point
Of law regarding which they might be
in doubt and were sent back to contin-
lie their deliberations.
At 2:20 o'clock the jury again enter
ed the courtroom, where the recorder
and other court officials were in wait
ing, and the foreman announced that
they had failed to agree on a verdict.
He added that their disagreement
seemed hopeless Of adjustment. Upon
this announcement, Recorder Cot for
maly discharged the 10 men compos-
ing the third jury that has considered
the celebrated case. It Is understood
that majority Of the jury was for
acquittal, but in what proportion
they stood can not be ascertained.
Miss Patterson collapsed on the
jury's announcement and tainted dead
away. She was assisted from the court
by one of her counsel and revived in
IN ante-room.
Future procedure in the case Is
uncertain. 1t has been intimated by
the distrfca atUorneyB 0nnIO tnaJ tne
people probably would not attempt
another trial. Should this be the case,
Nan Patterson would be released,
either on nominal bail or under her
own recognizance, and the indictment |
eventually be quashed.

PAUL NORTON TALKS.
Secretary Of Navy Addresses Intsr-
national Railway Congress.
STATES The PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE.


Washington, May 4.--Many member
Of the international railway congress
met at banquet at the Raleigh House
as quests Of the American Railway
Guild. While the welcome TO the for
elgn delegates was the keynote Of
the speeches following the repast words
showing the interest In the work OF
the congress were not lacking.
Secretary of the Navy Paul Morton
took the occasion to give fresh express
ion to President Roosevelt's ambition
regarding railroad rate legislation
Mr.. Morton's toast was 1.-THE Presi-
dent Of the United States"
After describing President Roosevelt
as one of "the most remarkable men
of all the rare men who have occupied
the White House" Secretary Morton
continued. 1T will not be amiss on
this occasion, before this assemblage,
for me to say something of the attitude
Of the president on the railroad Ques-
ton. He wants nothing but that which
is right and he is just as anxious that
no injustice shall be done to the rail-
roads as he is that justice shall be done
to the public Unfortunately there
have been abuses in the transportation
business. Fortunately they are grow
ing less every year. 1t is very graft
flying to those who know that today
there is less discrimination, fewer re-
bates, and more equality in freight
rates than ever before in the history
Of the country. But, through one de-
vice or another they still remain here
and there preferential rates which ia
vor certain large shippers and which
bear down unjustly on others. This
Is the condition of affairs that the pres
Ident Is doing his best to remove. The
private side track arrangements by
which unfairness in rates have been
enjoyed by some Of the big industries
Of the country the earning Of more
than fair return on private car in
vestments, the payment Of commissions
Of various sorts, Of rebates or prefer
entail rates in any form ought to be
entirely discontinued. am sure there |
Is not a railroad man here who does
not heartily approve Of this declaration
My own opinion Is that II all vicious
Determinations can be abolished the |
question Of rates will adjure itself. /
consider It great piece Of good for
tune for every man, woman and child
in this country that in the settlement
of this matter, the rights Of property, |
as well as the rights Of the people are
not to be overlooked by the president
All he wants in railroad legislation
is that which is fair and that which
will endure.

JAPANESE NOT SATISFIED.


Paris, May notwithstanding
denials, 1t now appears that the Jap
anese ofiicials are carefully observing
the continued presence Of vessels Of
Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron OF
the Indo-China coast and are seeking
Information from the French authori-
ties concerning the nature and durs-
ton OF their stay. The members Of
the legation have addressed several
inquiries to the foreign ONCE asking
particularly whether the ships we're
inside French waters. The reply given
was that all the vessels Of the
Russian squadron have left French
waters. These inquiries appear to
indicate the purpose Of the Japanese
to submit further representations or
lay grounds for subsequent action.

An Orange Pest in France.

The French Minister of Agriculture
has received from the Riviera a report
which shows that the orange growers
are threatened with the worst of cal.
antilles. A microscopic insect, scien.
tiically known as chrysumphalus
minor, is the cause of an orange dis
ease as potentially destructive as the
potato disease which spread famine
and devastation over Ireland fifty.
seven years ago. NJ. Belle, an expert
in Nice, has been investigating the
origin and propagation of this malady
among the oranges. The Council of
the Department Of Nice has taken the
matter in hand. Orange growers are
combining for the ~extirpation of
chrysumphalus minor. It is said that
the insect was imported from America
some years ago, and that the first
signs of it's depredations were detected
in Florence. The creature attacks all
parts of the orange piant-stem, leaf,
flower, fruit, everything. In his ma.
ture state his coat of mail makes him
as impervious to ordinary ~"insecti-
cides'' as the hide of a rhinoceros to
a popgun's pellet. He must be caught
young, early in March. That is the
time when, because Of his minuteness,
he most easily escapes detection.
