TRIAL SOON OVER
DIETRICH AND FISHER FOUND
NOT GUILTY.
THE INDICTMENTS ARE QUASHED
Court Decides That the Senator Was
Not a Member cf Congress When
Contracts Were Made He is There
fore Not Guilty as Charged.
O.M&HA.—Tho Diet rich trial in (ho
federal circuit court is a ihins of the
past. The senator has been found not
guilty of accepting a bribe, had the
indictments of conspiracy against him
quashed because? the court held he
could not be charged twice with the
same offense and was relieved from
defending himself in the charge of en
joying a lease with the government
upon the motion of the district attor
ney.
Summers refused to make any state
ment after tho trial was over, lie
said: "I have no further statement
to make—nothing more to say, I
think.”
' I have nothing to say. said sen
ator Dietrich, “beyond the fact that
I was willing to waive any technical
ity in order to secure a full trial. My
attorneys advised ino, and, I believe,
correctly, that the court would not al
low the case to go to the jury, for
the reason that Summers would not
and could not prove that I was a sen
ator when the lease was made. The
lease was made before I was even
elected senator and while I was still
governor. Summers knew this ami
knew that his case would not lie al
lowed to go to the jury, hut he per
sisted in his effort solely to besmirch
my name.”
At the same time in tlie court room
Senator Dietrich was surrounded by a
group of friends anxious to shake his
hand and to say that even though the
prosecution lost out because it had
not been shaped in conformity to law,
they were satisfied that the senator
was guiltless literally as we'd as tech
nically. His daughter. Miss Gertrude
Dietrich, was the center of a throng
of women, smiling and talking freely
for the first time since the trial be
gan. Postmaster Jacob Fisher of
Hastings, who also was freed of the
charges pending against him, was ex
pressing his satisfaction and saying
that he did not care so much about
the indictment, but that it was "his
girls” that were the most concerned
over the matter.
A most notable assemblage of law
yers heard the delivering of Judge
Van Devanter of the two decisions,
both of which settled points never tie
fore raised in American jurisprudence,
the first as to whether a senator is a
member of congress when and after
he is elected or upon taking the oath
of office, and the second being on the
contention that a lease with (he gov
ernment made by a member of con
gress before he becomes such an offi
cer does not operate to cause him to
fracture the law because its provis
ions are adhered to after the leasor
becomes a public officer.
The point as to the exact time a
person becomes a member of congress
was raised by General Cowin and
argued by both sides. It had been
anticipated as a vital feature of the
bribery case and the judges had pre
pared for it. They were ready, there
fore, with the decision, although, as
Judge Devanter said, the reasoning
had not been reduced to the form in
which it will stand upon the court rec
ords.
“From the conclusions.” he said at
the end, "we must instruct the jury
to fiud this defendant not guilty.
"Gentlemen of the jury, it results
from that, which has been just said
in your presence that, if all the evi
dence which the prosecution has in
hand and which was described were
now introduced and before you. it
would appear that the defendant had
not attained that official relation with
the United Stales which was neces
sary he should have attained in order
to come within the inhibition of this
statute, and hence we must Instruct
you to find the defendant not guilty.
The evidence has been rendered nec
essary and it is your duty to find the
defendant not guilty."

FRANCE IS NOW DIPPING IN.
Would Prevent the Transfer of the
Canal Property.
WASHINGTON—A dispatch to Dr.
Horran, Colombian charge d’affaires,
received from Paris, said that a
French tribunal bad been appealed to
by an agent of Colombia with a view
to preventing the transfer of the Pan
aina Canal company's rights on the
isthmus to the American government
without the consent of Colombia.
Counsel for tin* Colombian gove n
mont, according to the dispatch. as
sured the agent he thought there was
good ground for believing the effort
to prevent the transfer would be suc
cessful.
The step, it is said, is with tile
full cognizance of tin* Colombian au
thorities and was instituted by an
.agent cf th* government, who l»*if
tile United States after consultation
with General Reyes and Dr. Herrin.
The end sought to be attained is to
frustrate the sale of concessions,
franchises and property of tin* canal
company to the United States, prep
arations for which already have been
under way, tlie amount to lie paid by
this government being 540,00*1,uoo.
FAILURES OF LAST YEAR.
Bradstreet's Reports 9,566. with Lia
bilities of $154,277,093.
NEW YORK—There were 9,568
failures reported to Bradstreet's in
the calendar year 1903, with liabili
ties of $154,377,093 and assets of $84.
060,476. This marked a decrease in
number of just 2 per cent from 1902
and of 8 per cent from 1901.
With tlie exception of 1S99. the in
crease over which is 1.4 per cent, tin*
year 1903 shows the smallest number
of failure casualties reported since
1887. Liabilities, however, owing pri*
niarily to the increase in suspensions
of financial institutions, but also lie
cause of the heavy number of manu
facturing concerns suspending, were
larger by 45 per cent than those ot
19o2 and the heaviest in fact since
1897. There were 956 failures itivoiv
ing $8,328,362 of liabilities and $3,852,
197 of assets in the Dominion of Can
ada in 1903 a decrease of 12 per cent
in number and a practically identical
total of liabilities.

PARIS.- -Official and diplomatic re
presentatives here claim to be with
, out information regarding the contents
of the Russian reply to Japan, but the
tone is distinctly pessimistic and there
are but slight hopes of a peaceful exit
from the position in which Russia and
Japan find themselves. The diplomats
are making inquiries as to the attitude
of tlie powers in case of war, that to
be adopted by the United States being
regarded as particularly important. To
the Associated Press the Japanese
minister said:
"The attitude of the United States
will mean much. It lias negotiated a
treaty with China for the opening of
three ports in Manchuria to the com
merce of the world. These ports have
been occupied by Russia and tints the
treaty rights have been violated.
Japan is not guided by selfish mo
tives, but is acting in the Interest of
all nations. 1 hope the United States
will clearly understand our petition
and will favor us with their support."
The correspondent asked the minis
ter it i.e had lost all hope of peace.
"I never lose that hope," he replied.
The Chinese legation claims to lie
without information in regard to the
attitude of China in the event of war.
it was said that at the outset it was
certain that neutrality would be pro
claimed, but in case of Japanese vic
tories u would not surprise the lega
lion if the Chinese should cast their
lot with Japan. This would seriously
embarrass Russia, not because of the
importance of the Chinese as a fight
ing force, but because of the danger of
the interruption of the Russian com
munications.
The action of the United States in
sending marines to Seoul. Corea, is re
garded here as being a "significant in
dication of the trend of its sympathy."
and it is known to be gratifying to
.lap.-in, because it establishes a prece
dent which the Japanese can follow if
nevessary in deharking a strong force
on the peninsula.
