The session of the Federal grand
o'clock this morning when the body
brought its final report into court
and received it's dismissal from Judge
Pope The report of the jury is given
in full below After it was read Judge
Pope made some comments that were
highly interesting and of the great
est Importance.
Speaking to the jurors. Judge Pope
said that their work had been most
commedable and that. inasmuch as
they composed the the first Federal
grand jury that had ever been called
together in the newly formed district,
theirs was necessarily a pioneer and
slow work He said further that not
as much was expected of them an
would be of other juries that would
follow them in the service. The office
they had filed is a high one, the
Judge declared, and especially great
is the honor given them because of
the fact that they were on the first
to them the thanks of the court and
of the people generally. whom they
had been serving, and he congratula-
ted the people upon having such
splendid jury and the jury for its
splendid work.
Referring to certain cases mention
ed in the jury's report, Judge Pope
declared that they were in no way
to blame for whatever action had not
been taken in regard to prosecutions
in cases where roads had been fenced,
as this also is pioneer work. He said
that this and the prosecution of cases
of illegal fling on land were of i'm
portance and would be the ground
for a great labor for future grand ju-
ries. The latter practice, that of i'll
ing on land Illegally. Judge Pope de-
clared. was one of the serious offenses
in this part OF the country.
The report of the Grand Jury is as
follows:

ST. Peters burg. Apr. 21.-The latest
word of Admiral Rojestvensky was
dispatch from the agent of finance
ministry at Shanghai saying the squa-
dron had passed through the straits

by the agent fer his statement is con-
sidered doubtful. The admiralty pro-
feSses a good deal of skepIicism in

East reporting the location of the
Russina vessels. pointing out that
false news is likely to be set afioat
deliberately The officials here neith-
er confirm or deny the report that
Rojestvensky is still at Kamranh Bay.
Nothing has been heard from the
fourth division of the Russian squad
ron commanded by Admiral Neboga-
toff. Most naval men express the
opinion that Ro1estvensky will not
await the juncture with Nebogatoff,
but will allow this weaker division
