ANOTHER JURY ITOR PAYNE.
Discovery In Sin do that Onn Juror Who lla *
lleoa Stltln ? It Nut u Cltltun.
Sam Payne's trial on the charge ot having
murdered Maud Rubel will have to bo com
menced anew. After the state had examined
many of Its witnesses and the county had
been put to an expense of more than $1,000 , It
was discovered that ono of the Jurors was
not a citizen ot the United States. The Jury
was discharged and the work of selecting anew
now Jury commenced.
When the court convened yesterday
Judga Scott announced that he had been
Informed that ono of the jurymen In the
Payne caao was not a citizen of Nebraska ,
nor of the United States , and was , therefore ,
not qualified to sit on a Jury In a criminal
or civil case. Ho asked the county attorney
what he proposed to do In the matter.
Mr. Kaley was very much up a stump.
He hesitated a moment , and then said he
saw nothing better to do than to proceed
with the case.
"Proceed with the case ? " Inquired HID
court In surprise. "You cannot do that , Mr.
County Attorney. You must show your hand.
I am not going on and make a farce of
this trial. You must make your Investiga
tions nt once. "
The county attorney Intimated that there
had b : < cn no direct Information on the ques
tion of the Incompetcncy of ono of the Jurors.
The point had not been raised by the op
posing counsel.
"Hu . I want you to ralee the point your
self , " retorted the court. "I want you to
fllo your motion right away. This Is nn
time to get weak-kneed. I want you to
show your hand and glvo us a square deal.
I told you last night that one of the Jurors
had said ho was not a cltlzon of the United
States. You should have gene to work on
"the case and should have been ready for
this emergency this morning. "
Mr. Kaley did not yet see his way clear
to announce his plan ot action , -and the
Judge took the matter In his own hand , by
placing the Juror in question on the rack.
The Juror acknowledges the name ot Peter
Swanson , but further than that the evidence
docs not show. Ho was not altogether ccr
tain as to whether ho was ollvo or not
while Judge Scott was questioning him.
Ho asserted that ho lived on the Nebraska
side of the line In East Omaha , but that
ho had never voted at on election. He had
qualified as a Juror and sworn that he was
a citizen of the United States , but ho had
not really understood the Import ot the oath
he was taking. He said ho had lived .In
this country eleven years , but had taken
no steps toward taking out his naturalization
papers , and still owed allegiance to the
king of Sweden , of which country he was a
native.
Judge Scott questioned the Juror closely as
to whether he had voted or not , but ha
.stoutly maintained that he had not. His
name , It taken from the voters' list , must
belong to rome other fellow , In which case
he , would give It up without a protest. He
wasn't particular about the name anyway ,
and was willing to do anything to help the
court out of trouble. After Swanson's re
markable lack of Information had been duly
shown , Judge Scott asked the county at
torney If he was ready to take action In
the case. Mr. Kaley stated thai the ques
tion was an Important one , and ho did not
feel like taking action on the spur of the
moment.
"There's no spur of the moment about.-lt . ,
Mr. Attorney , " 'replied the Judge * "I told
yon of this last night , and you should have
been prepared for It. This Juror has said
that ho was mistaken when qualified as a
Juror and as a resident ot this country. If
you can go on with him , why not with two
foreigners an the Jury , and If with two.
why not with six or twelve. Itwon't do. "
Mr. Kaley asked time to consider the
question , and the court reluctantly granted
a recess until 2 o'clock.
When court convened at 2 o'clock Judge
Scott read the record In the case and ordered
Swanson dismissed from the Jury and the
Jury discharged. The defendant's attorney
filed a plea In bar , taking the ground that the
prisoner's life had been placed In Jeopardy
once and that he could not be. again subjected
to a trial for murder on the original com
plaint. To this the county atlorney filed a
demurrer , which was- sustained , and the work
of calling a new Jury was. commenced. It Is
thought that the balance of the week will bo
consumed In the selection of a Jury.
Swanson was released by Judge Scott lale
In the afternoon. The court had at first or
dered the county attorney to prosecute Swanson -
son for perjury , but afterwards recalled his
Instructions , when ho had talked wtlh Swanson -
son and found lhat the statements made by
that Individual had been under n misappre
hension , owing to his Inability to speak Eng
lish or understand It.

MADE THE LETTERS PUBLIC
Japan Gives Out the Official Ooirespondenca
Leading Tip to the War.
DFMANDS OF THE POWERS FORESTALLED
Letters Contain Nothing that U Not Al *
ready Known la Substance Entire
Correspondence Contained
In Nine Letters.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 20. The Japanese
government has anticipated the recent offers
of China to the foreign powers to furnish
the complete official correspondence leading
up lo the present war , and has Itself made
public this correspondence. It Is published
In full as a part ot the proceedings of the
Japanese diet which have been received by
the Japanese legation. The gist of the con
troversy has already been made- known to the
public , but Iho official letlers between China
and Japan glvo the" first account of the
sharp diplomatic ! fencing between Ihe coun
tries up lo a few days before Iho war. The
tellers run from Juno 7 to July 14 , and are
numbered from ono to nine.
Numbert 1 Is from Wang , Chinese min
ister to Japan. It Informs Japan thai &
telegram , has just been received from LI
Hung Chang , stating the Corean government
has requested China to send troops to sup
press a rebellion of the Tong-haks. Viceroy
LI , It says , considers the rebellion serious ,
and therefore- complies with the request for
troops to protect "our trlbulary state , ' first
notifying Japan , In accordance with a trealy
provision lhat each shall Inform the other
before entering Corea.
Number 2 Is from Mutsu , minister of
foreign affairs ot Japan. It very pointedly
states : "In reply , I beg to declare that al
though Ihe words 'Irlbulary state" appear In
your note , the- Japanese government has
never recognized Corea as a tributary stale
of China. " *
Number 3 Is a notice , from the Japanese
government lhat it Intends sending troops
to Corea lo suppress Ihe rebellion.
In number 4 China "shows her leeth" for
Iho first time. It Is a letter from Ihe Tsung-
Il-Yamcn , Ihe Chinese cabinet , to the Jap
anese * minister at Peking. The latler ex
presses surprise lhat Japan should send
troops to Corea when It has not been so
requested by Corea. It adds the following
significant language :
CHINA SHOWS ITS HAND.
"Tho sole object of your country tn send
ing troops Is evidently to protect tha legation ,
consulates and commercial people In Corea ,
and consequently It may not be necessary
on the part of your country to dispatch a
great number of troops , and , besides , as no
application therefor has been made by Corea ,
It Is requested thai no troops shall proceed
lo Iho Interior of Corea , so lhat they may not
cause- alarm to her people. And , moreover ,
since It Is feared that In the event of the
soldiers of the two nations meeting on
the way cases of uncxpecled accidents might
occur , owing to the. difference , of language
and military etlquelle. we beg to call your
allonllon In addition that you will be good
enough to telegraph the purporl of this com-
munlcallon to Ihe government of Japan.
Number 5 Is the Japanese answer to the
Tsung-ll-Yamen , In which Japan also shows
her teeth. It says : "As to the number ol
troops to ba sent Into Corea , the Japanese
government la compelled to exercise Its own
judgment. Although no restrlcllon la placet !
upon the movement ot the Japanese troop !
In Corea , they will not be sent -where theJi
presence Is not doomed necessary. The Jap
anese troops are under strict discipline , aiu
the Japanese government Is confident thai
they will not preclpltalo a collision with tin
Chinese forces. H IB hopzd China hai
adopted similar precautions. "
Number C Is an offer of the Japanese government
ornment to join China In a general re
adjustment of Corea on modern tines.
Number 7 Is China's rejection of Ihe offer
In which she- says : "The Idea may be excellent
collent , but Ihe measures ot Improvemen
must b left to Corea herself. "
Number 8 Is from Japan to China , statlni
lhat Japan cannot longer disregard the lav
of self-preservation , which Impels her ti
reform the deplorable conditions ot Cprea a
1 the. root of her frequent rebellions.
r Number 9 Is also from Japan to China
stating that as China has declined to Joli
in the administrative re-form ot Corea , tb
only conclu&lon deductublo Is that the Chi
I na government "ts disposed to preclpltat
i complications. "
Tbli closes the correspondence , the las
loiter being dalQd ieloven days before Ihs
Chinese transport Kow Shlng , carrying tha
Chinese troops to-Corea , was sunk by Japan.
Japan's declaration twar followed six days
later. t
INDIANS I'HOOUlisSINU IN MONTANA.
Vigorous HfTiirt * of.Agent * to Itrenk Up tlio

WASHINGTON , Nov. 20. Montana. . Indians
are not among those termed half civilized
even , yet the report .of the various agents In
that state to Iho commissioner of Indian
affairs , show that they are making progress.
It also appears that the army officers at
these agencies are not afraid to do their
duty , no matter what complaints are made.
The agricultural pursuits ot these Indians de
pend largely upon Irrigation. The government
has recognized this and money Is now being
expended for Irrigation ditches , from which
results are expected. Meanwhile , stock rais
ing Is the main pursuit of the Indians who
do anything for themselves. It also appears
that considerable attention Is paid to educa
tion , and the Montana Indian children are
profiling by U. On most reservations It Is
reported that , whl'sky Is sold , causing most
of the trouble. Captain L. W. Cook , Third
Infantry , In charge of the Dlackfoot agency ,
has taken vlgorousjmoasurcs lo suppress Ihe
trafllc and broke up a small village to do It ,
and says no liquor has been sold at this
agency since October , 1893. Ho sums up the
results In the following : "Robaro abandoned ;
postofflce discontinued ; store and saloons
closed and the proprietors of the latler senl
0 the penllenllary. The squaw men , nol
> elng provided , through Iho Issuance of ra-
lens lo their wives , with Ihe necessities ot
1 To , have had lo move away and engage In
nduslrlal pursuits. The benefit lo the In
dians , as well as to the , squaw men , Is more
readily Imagined than described. Thus have
I added recruits lo Ihe ranks of Ihose who
claim army officers are arbllrary and cruel. "
He has also made trouble for squaw men ,
ntormlng them that they must live like
civilized people nnd gel off Ihe resorvatlon ,
-Jone of Iho agents speak highly of the moral
ly of Iho Indians , and , In facl , Ihts seems lee
> o ono of the most serious questions of the
Indian problem , though but lltllo Is spoken
of It in the general Indian literature.
Lieutenant J. W. Watson , Tenth cavalry. In
charge of the Crow agency , speaks In high
terms ot the general advancement ot the In
dians under his care and shows thai whisky
idling has decreased whlla he- has b on acllng
agent.
Joseph T , Carter , agent ot the Flathcads ,
commends Ihe missionary and educational
work doneby the Catholics among the In
dians under his care.
Major J. M. TCelloy , Tenth cavalry , at Fort
Delknap , has recently been In Washington
with a delegation of head men of the tribes
of this , agency , and reported good progress
among them. The Indians told Commissioner
Browning lhat Major Kelley was the best
agent they ever had and they did not want
him changed. H
Captain H. W. MS'rirole , Eighth cavalry , In
charge at ' Fort Peck , says thai his Indians
tiavo been'dlsturbctPlby roving bands from
Nor.th Dakota and frciin across the Canadian
border. Some of tlidro from Canada claimed
they were Sioux arid'had been there since Ihe
great Sioux massacre of 1SG2.

stone , which rolled away , causing a sprain
of one ankle. The sprain was Blluht , but
because It was sustained by the foot which

the president did not come Into town this

that as walking was still painful and there
was no present need of his coming to the

WASHINGTON , Nov. 20. Officials of the
Agricultural department say the meat nnd
catllo exporla from Iho Unlled States to
Denmark are Insignificant In amount. II
Is recalled lhat when Germany excluded
American pork she Induced the adjoining
governments of Holland , Belgium nnd Den
mark to follow her example by the threat
that she would place an embargo on their
swine to make sure thai no American hogs
came lo her Ihroueh the ports of her neigh
bors. Consequently It will be seen , the
latest move of German Inspiration Is as
sumed to be In accordance with her old
policy , and the officials will not be sur
prised at the announcement before many
weeks thai Holland and Belgium , which
