"The court decided the case," said he "without considering .the testimony of Admiral Schley and his witnesses, and Secretary Long seems to have d Added it without so much as permitting us to file a reply to the rötest Hied by Admiral Sampson's attorneys. This protest was liled lato yesterday alternocn, and Just one hour ago we finished our reply to it and sent It to Washington. "Now I understand that the secretary has decided against Admiral Dewey and adverse to Schley's being in command at Santiago, and virtually in favor of Samppon, without even permitting us to produce beftre him the conclusive proof, admitted at the hearing by consent, that the command practically and officially devolved upon Schley. The whole proceeding id too arbitrary and tyrannical for me now to discuss. I really wonder whether the people who live under free institutions will tolerate such air exercise of despotic measures. "You ask me what our next step will he. I do not know, unless the pres3 intervenes. There is a power in the courts to compel the secretary to tile the dissenting opinion of Admiral Dewey whether he agrees with it or not. We will determine next week what procedure we will adopt."

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Dec. 21. No verdict has been returned in the case of Newell C. Rathbun up to 1 o'clock this (Sunday) morning. At that time Judge Marsh left the courthouse and stated that he 'would -call the jurymen into court this rrjorning to hear a report and dismiss them, unless a verdict is reached in the meantime. A little after midnight the jurymen asked for more explicit Instructions, which were given by Judge Marsh. The taking of evidence was completed yesterday afternoon. The arguments were begun this morning, the attorneys occupying about four hours. Judge Marsh then gave his instructions to the jury, stating 'that the prisoner must either be found guilty of murder or manslaughter or acquitted. The Jury then retired. During the afternoon Itathbijn wäs arrested by Sheriff Rave, acting, for the government, on the charge of being a deserter from the United States army. Rathbun was indicted on the charge of poisoning Goodman at the Falls City Hotel in this city on the night of Nov. C, where he and Goodman engaged lodging. Rathbun registered as W. L. Ten Eyke and Goodman as Newell C. Rathbun. The following morning the man who had registered as Rathbun was found dead in his room and letters in his pocket indicated that he had a wife in Little Rock, Ark. He had been drinking heavily the night before and the man who registered as Ten Eyke left the hotel some time before the body was discovered. As soon as the body was found the coroner was called. The body was shipped to Little Rock, where it was discovered by the agent of an Insurance company, who had insured Rathbun's life for i4,0oO, that he dead man was not the one to whom he had issued policy. The body was then sent back to this city and was identified as that of Charles Goodman, of Evansville. In the. meantime a man answering the description of Ten Eyke was arrested at the Louisville recruiting station, where he had enlisted in the army, and he was charged with causing Goodman's death. The prisoner finally admitted that his name was Newell C. Rathbun; that he was formerly a soldier' in the regular army; that he had intended to kill Goodman, whom he had registered as Rathbun in Jeffersonville, and then burn the hotel to hide all evidence of wrongdedng, in order to collect a four-thousand-dollar life insurance policy on his (Rathbun's) life, but that Goodman had died from the effects of a drunken spree before the plans had matured. His indictment followed, but he maintained that he had not caused Goodman's death, and the an expert chemist failed to reveal any traces of poison. Aecunatlon Agahut Doctors.

SULLIYAN JURY D1YIDED UN AD LB TO AGREE ON A VERDICT .LATE LAST NIGHT. Half Said to Favor Conviction of the Lawyer and Half Standing: Oat for Acquittal. CHICAGO, Dec. 21. The case of Alexander Sullivan was given to the jury at 9 o'clock to-night. At 11 o'clock the jury had not agreed, and there was no immediate prospect of its doing so. Loud arguments could be heard from the jury room, and it was said the Jury stood about evenly divided for acquittal and conviction. There is no chance for an announcement before 10 o'clock to-morrow morning, when Judge Smith will open court to hear a report from the Jury. Attorney P. II. O'Donnell closed the argument for the defense this afternoon, and passed the case up to Assistant State's Attorney Barnes, who asked the jury to send Mr. Sullivan to the penitentiary for conspiracy in connection with corruption of juries in the civil courts here three years ago. Mr. O'Donnell made a strong plea for his client, and tried to show that the West Chicago Street-railway Company was the real culprit. He denounced Lynch's testimony against Sullivan, and took to task the street-railway company and its directors, whom he called "jury briber's masters." He said it was common knowledge that the West Chicago Streetrailway Company had a department of corruption and dishonor, and he wanted to know if the jurors thought it possible that the road had not begun bribery until Uy7, when Mr. Sullivan made a contract with the road. He also asked the jury if it was reasonable that the railway directors bribed or that they had a man to do it who would not profit by it a penny. Judge Smith finished reading hia instructions at 9 p. m., and the case was at once given to the jury. STEAMSHIPS LAUNCHED. ' The Eleven-Thousand Ton Transatlantic Freighter Shawmnt.

" WBÜBZ F WALK & PJ2HLIE" Is a laconic definition of a toboggan ride. It's quick work going down the slide, but it's a long climb back to the starting point. It is very much that way with health ; it Is quickly lost and slowly regained. When the first symptoms of failing health appear, proper card may prevent the descent to utter weakness and debil i t y. Usually the complication of disorders known as general debility has Its origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. These diseases are perfectly cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures through the stomach disorders which have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach. There is no alco mm II' hol in the "Discovery," neither opium, cocaine nor other narcotic.

"I wrote to Dr. 1'iercc. telling my symptoms as near as I could. He sent me a very kind letter, adnsinp me to try his medicines, which I did. and before I had taken them a week I was decidedlv better. I took two bottles of the Golden Medical Discovery ' and two of the Faorite Prescription.' and am sure I never felt better in my life than when I quit taking them." Pr.
