FATE Of HERMANN
IN HANDS OF JURY
Conclusion of Argument Marked
by Opposing Counsel Pass
ing the Lie.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The ques
tion whether Binger Hermann, former
member of Congress and former Com
missioner Of the General Land Office, is
guilty or not of destroying public rec
ords was placed in the hands of the
jury this afternoon at the conclusion
of the twelfth week of his trial.
The argument in the case eliminated
III the lie being passed between op-
posing counsel at the close of United
States District Attorney Baker sum-
ming up for the Government. Justice
Stafford administered a severe repTi-
maud. saving he should regard any fur
ther colloquy between counsel as con
tempt of court and would act according
~. When Mr.. Baker had concluded. the
court allowed the jury 10 90 to lunch
con. cautioning them against talking
OF the case among themselves, partic
ularly Of the 'brajnstorm y which had
been raging. He told the Jury that ga
calm statement of the case would be
submitted to them by the court on their
return.
The incident which aroused the ire
of Attorney Worthington, for the de-
feuse, was the reference made by MIR.
mann. wife of the defendant. Mr.
Baker asked the jury if they had no.
ticed Mr., Worthington IS face when Mrs
Hermann was asked if she had dis
cussed with any one the testimony she
was to give on the stand.
DO YOU mean to insinuate that | III
any way sIgnaled TO tho witness dur
ing her testimony If You do it is
absolutely a lie, interjected Mr.,
Worthington with much heat.
Calls Baker Liar.
''Oh, no, - responded Mr.. Baker. "I
simply mean that your face turned
rcd-tbat YOU blushed. -
''That is false, shouted Mr. Worth
ingtou,
Mr.. Baker concluded with a scathina
deuunclation of the defendant, saving
that after SIX years of dishonesty as
Commissioner of the General Land of
fee be had destroyed his thirty-iive let
ter press books to conceal the traces of
his dishonesty.
During the argument and charge to
women relatives sat beside the defend
ant. Mrs. Hermann wept silently dur
ing many of the severest passages of
the prosecuting attorney The defend
ant sat unnovcd during the ordeal, but
plainly showing the strain he was en-.
during.
Upon receiving their charge the Jury
at once retired. Justice Stafford, after
waiting for more than an hour and re-
ceiving no sign Of q conclusion being
reached. went home with instructions
to be notified should an agreement be
reached.

Nt last nights meeting of tn" city council Chairman La Fargc of the tiu- ancc committee moved that the sum of $I 600 be transferred from tuo current expense fund to the general fund. and that warrants No. 3725 to No. 3.752 be ordered paid. Tn, sum to be ~u paid amount in the aggregate to $2,452.93.

 OF BRITAIN
LAPS DECLARE THEIR ALLY DOES NOT SHOW GOOD FAITH
 IN B. C.

TOKYO Nov. 25.-Count Okuma has issued a statement in which he says that he is firmly of the belief that Britain is countenancins the riots that have taken place in British Columbia, and that Japan has found it's ally is false as history has shown it to be. He recountS many instances where Great Britain has entered into an alli ancc with new nation and after using it either Wurred with or failed to keep its compact
 The statement has caused senSa tion. and Okuma. who has a big fol- lowing, has declared that both Great Britain and the United states are working hand in hand.
 Several Japanese papers heretofore ultra conservative have strongly de- nounccd their ally for not stamping out these riots at once The general tone of the press is either demand to wait for England to show her hand or the open charge that England is not in as much earnest as an ally should he.

TWO CABINS
 BURNED
ON SAME DAY TWO MINERS CABINS AND OUTFITS
 DESTROYED.

The cabin of Dan O'Mara went up in smoke last Sunday at Washington creek, near Nome river, and the con tents as well as the house were to- tai loss.
 In addition to the loss sustained by the destruction of the cabin furniture, provisions. etc. a large pile of coal was also consumed, and the loss to the own CTS will amount to $500.
 The cause of the fire is not known as there was no one in the cabin at the time, but it is believed to be due to some cause connected with the fire in the stove, which had been banked before the occupants left the house.
 Another cabin. which belonged to Carlson and Iverson, was burned on the same day west of Sunset. and every thing the men had in it was destroyed.

CONSIDER BOXING WRONG
 CHRISTMAS EVE.

The clergymen of the different churches, as well as some laymen pe- ttioned the city council last night to prevent, if possible, the boxing contest which is scheduled for Christmas eve between Sharkey Walton and Young Bailey. Some of the councilmen, in cluding the mayor. said they were by no means opposed to such glove con- tests as they saw nothing worse in them than could be found in a game of rough football, but all seemed to think that the time chosen is a bad one. They said they were not over sanctimOnious, but somehow scrapping and Christmas seemed incOngruous.
 Finally a motion was put and carried to the effect that the petitions be ac- cepted and that the petitioners he no- tified that he council will do what it can to further their wishes
