to TIIK BKK.J Tin- fourth day of tbo Shcedy
murder cnso has been n repetition of the
other days the examination of Jurors as to
their competency. The few men loft on the
llrst panel of 150 Jurors confessed to having
dallied with the cvidenco or the alleged con-
fcsr'.oii of Monday MeFarlaml. This bad
established in their minds an opinion which
would require considerable ovldenco to re
move , and they x\cro accordingly challenged
nnd lot out.
Following the exhaustion of the first special
panel the clerk began calling tti < 5 names of
these cltircns who had been summoned
on the second panel. Thereupon Strode
Jumped out and unto red n lengthy protest
ngalnst the manner In which the vonlro had
been drawn. Ho Insisted that the countv
commissioners had not chosen the \ cniremen
In the propoition established by law , in that
n larger number weio drawn from some pre
cincts and n less number from others than
provided by the statute. Ho also objected to
the second special panels because the mem
bers bad been summoned by registered let
ter Beth objections were overruled and
exceptions noted. At this point Judge Field
remarked , ns tbcru WLS sllirht prospect of
completing tno Jury panel bofoio Saturday
morning , that nil witnesses summoned to
appear at bar would bo excused from further
attendance until that time.
The candor and rugged honesty of a man
nai.icd Taylor brought to the htaud claims
admiration. He stated that lie had formed n
decided opinion , tbo result of reading thu
newspapers nnd canvassing thu crnno with
neighbors.
"Could you , " nsKcd Mr. Hall , who was ex
amining him , "notwithstanding thu opinion
lenderun impartial verdict , after huuilng
the verdict ! "
"I might. "
"Aro you not sure ! "
"I can't say At present I bellevo both
defendants guilty and it would require evi
dence to convince mo to the contrary. "
Mrs. Sheod.y whoso bearing had been of the
confident order , dropped her oyeinud a shade
' . .S'Vf annoyance passed over her face. The wit-
"i was excused. At 3 o'clock this nfter-
i thu defense Had cxctclscd fourteen and
'the defense hovcu peremptory challenges.
The delay In getting a satisfactory Jury Is
. WJnrpcly duo to the tangled condition of Iho
existing law. Several sections thought to
imv6 been repealed by the last legislature are
being found to have been overlooked nnd
therefore are in forco. The compiled stat
utes of Nebraska IbSl was revised In 18b5
and when so revised contained the amend
ments mndo in 1SS11S8M and lbS5. In the
revision of 18s , " > Is found section -tW ( , page
803. The statutes of the stnto
were again compiled by Brown Ik
Wheeler In 188 ! ) nnd that compilation
on pairo Oil contains section CO ! ) L. Now
both or these sections provide for causes of
challenge to Jurors. On the llrst day of the
examination of Jurors In the Sneedy murder
case Judge FV U was governed b'y section
Cfl" L in the revision of 1880 , which by the
mistake of the compilers omitted section 403
of thu rovlslsn of 1&S. > , although in forco.
Judge Fluid on the evening ( llio llrst day
discovered this omission and ( hiding both
bectlons In force , on the second day excused
four Jurors selected on the llrst day , who ho
found , on examination of their evidence , had
founded their opinions on reading reports of
testimony taken at the coroner's Inquiry nnd
on the preliminary examination. It seems
V'ft section ( Kill L docs not diminish the
< * S ON ° ' challenge of jurors , but enlarges
them , therefore it follows that many Jurors
who could qualify under either section can
not qualify when nil the causes uio inquired
of under both sections. Hence the necessity
to call Into thu Jury panel so ninny Jurors.

NBW YOIIK , Mny 7. It was n somewhat
aded looking lot of railroad presidents that
lied out of room ± ! of the Windsor hotel this
evening , where the meeting of the advisory
> oard of the Western TralUc association eiuno
o an end. They looked ilko men who had
) , issed through n crisis. Uacli , however ,
itoutly reasserted his nllcelunco to pe.ico and
larmony with capital letters and undying
lovotion to the causa of thu association. The
meeting was not without result. In the
hst place , a solid working quorum was secured -
cured and that Is n good deal in the lluht of
ho heartburnings that followed the famous
Chicago failure. More significant and In a
manner picturesque was Mr Gould's repudi
ation of the Missouri Pacific sugar tariff ,
with tin Incidental offer to resign the prcsi-
lency of that road If any charges could bo
undo nnd proven against himself.
General Trafllc Manager Leeds was found
guilty , nnd starts for St. Louis tonight to
.urn over the control of his department to S.
! I. II. Clark , the manager of the Missouri
Pacific. What will bo done with Mr , Leeds
or who will bo his successor It Is yet too
curly to fortoll. As important almost as the
disciplining of the Missouri Pacific were the
: crms of a resolution adopted by the board.
They were : 1. That the llfo of the associa
tion bo extended lor a llxcd term , soy until
January 1 , IbOO ; U. That the commissioner of
the association ptcparo a plun for the reestablishment -
establishment of Joint agencies ; ! ! . That the
commissioners report on the advisability of
the division by percentages of competitive
tonnage.
When Mr. Lcoas wns culled before the
board yesterday morning ho.vas allowed to
tlio the 150 pagcri of typewritten explanation
that ho had started to read the day before.
The statement was too historical , it wns said ,
nnd possibly too directly nlmea at some
others of the roads represented , to bo profit
able reading for the board.
Mr. Leeds made a verbal explanation , how
ever , nnd then retired from the room. The
board found him guilty of violation of the
agreement of January 'J , announcing the ver
dict Just before the noon recess.
This left Mr. Gould only ono course
ns the agreement distinctly provides for the
dismissal of any officer guilty of violating Its
provisions. After a short interview with his
superior , Mr. Leeds said ho would start west
immediately and would turnover his office to
the manager of the road. He know of no
other provisions that had been made for him.
bo said , and especially donicd that there had
boon any arrangement by which ho should
become'Benernl traffic manager of the Union
Pacific.
"I do not admit the Justice of my sen
tence , " said Mr. Leeds. "I Issued the
sugar tariff on my own responsibility ,
for reasons that seemed to mo to Justify
that course. The board docs not admit the
presentation of these reasons and so I am
found guilty. I did not make that tariff to
get sugar , and , In fact , did not get it. That
tnrilt Is still in effect , and yet much moro
than half of the sugar tonnage goes over
other lines that are supposed to have lived up
to the agreement. "
In the course of his talk , Mr. Leeds said
that bis object in cutting rates was not to
got sugar , but to bring out something else.
What that something else was ho would not
say , but they think It was to cot up an in
vestigation of rates on the Missouri Pncitio
that would bring to light the fact that other
roads In thu association were cutting rates
also.
also.Having
Having thus steered clear of the rock thut
thrc.itonod to split It permanently , the board
turned Its attention to other matters. Most
of the revolutions previously reported to bo
slated for consideration were taken up ,
though thut of assailing the "long and short
haul" clause of the interstate commerce act
was loft to ttio action of the Trunk Line as
sociation. The following lesolution was
unanimously passed :
"It is the sense of this board that the llfo
of the Western Traffic association ought to
bo extended for a llxcd period , say until Jan
uary 1 , 1800 , In order that reforms and economies
omios may bo established which cannot now
bo carried into effect owing to the uncertain
ties attending the existence of the associa
tion.
tion."That
"That the commissioners bo directed to
prepare a plan by which so far us posslblo in
dependent agencies may bo abolished and
Joint agencies established , to lessen the ex
pense In the competitive business of members
of the association.
"That commissioners be selected to look
Into the matter of division by percentages of
competitive tonnage arising at such Joint
agencies and the routing thurcof , and to sub
mit n report together with the plan referred
to in the previous section to each member of
the association.
"That without binding any member of the
association to the adoption of the report of
the commissioners it shall bo solely for the
purpose of saving time. When the reports
of the commissioners shall have been re
ceived by the members of the associa
tion they shall bo submitted without delay
to the respective board of directors ,
with the object of ascertaining if It bo advis
able to enter Into such plans and agreements
as nra contemplated In the foregoing resolu
tion "
The concr.il Impression at the close of the
meeting regarding Mr. Leeds'future In rail
road circles was that ho was offered some po
sition by Mr. Gould equally as good ns that
of freight traffic manager of the Missouri
Pacific. It was quite evident that Mr.
Gould did not anticipate early In the meet
ing any such decision of the board remn-diim
the Leeds case.
The resolution ndoptod by the board Is vir
tually the llrst year's plan drawn up by Mr.
Gould and Colonel .lotin McCook and pre
sented to the tallroad men at the mooting at
which the association was organlicd , but re
jected for the one-year plan. At
the close of the any's meeting ( which
adjourned slue dloj all the mcmbcis
of the boaid expressed the opinion that the
resolution as adopted would bo accepted by
the various roads and that the plan of estab
lishing Joint agencies weald bo successfully
carried out.
Mr. Gould said that ho considered the
adoption of n plan of a live jear existence
and the consideration of formlnc Joint
agencies the two most important things the
boi'rd had clone since Its formation. Ho said
ho was very wrll satisliod with the work
done by the board at this meeting. U was
proof of great Interest to all concerned.
Sldnnv Dillon said that the lion and the
lamb had laid down together. Ho had never
attended n meeting that ended with such
unanimity of satisfaction on the part of nil
present ns this one. Mr. Dillon , however ,
neglected to say in what spirit the mcetliiL
referred to begun It was what many were
anxious to ilnil out , but none buccedcd in
doing so.

ently satisfied with the outcome of the con

the I'rrHldnnlM.
NBW YOIIK , May 7. The Sun , In its storj
of yesterday's meeting of the Western Traf
fic/association , says : Mr Gould astonished
those present by saying soon after the moot
Ing opened : "I have not coma here to up
hold any violations of the rules or to dofouO
rate cutting , Thcro scorn ? to be no doubi
liat Air. Leeds cut rates , contrary to the
ulcs of the association. . Whether ho had
ufllclcnt provocation foivthaact It remains
or you to decide , after hearing his state-
nent , as I presume you w'll ' bo willing to do.
believe that the only way to'placo ' the ns-
ocintlon on n sure basin Is to abide by the
etter of It nnd to d ° al with officers nccord-
ng to the rules. I have nobody to protect

lot even myself. If any man bus any charges
o miiko ncnlnst mo , lot htm prefer them , and
f they are proven 1 will protect the ngrcc-
ncnt by resigning from the presidency of
ho road. "
This unusual speech from so quiet a man as
vlr. Gould was received \\lth applause , and ,
f nnything , strengthened the fcellug that all
( Tenders should bo citllltitincd " , whether of
ilgh or low degree. Certainly Mr. Leeds'
chances were not Improved nny. It was do-
Ided to postpone the Leeds cn.se until the
alter part of thu session , bittboy had hardly
K'gun to vote upon the matters that were
akcn up before it bccatm ; cvldcpt that the
-ceils offense must bo disposed of nt the
tart or nothing further of Importance
vonld bo accomplished. Unknown to Mr.
iould , a quiet understanding , ns if by a
o nucus had been reached among a majority
of the board that every vote should bo blocked
intll the penalty had been meted out to the
openly onending road or the ofllccr who had
been guilty. So the only thjug that passed
vas that four of the six commissioners
hould have the power to convene n hearing
on nny subject offered to them instead of n
ull board being required , ns nt present. Hut
ho meeting so called shall preserve n ver
batim report of the proceedings and the same
shall bo passed upon by the hill board before
jecommg effective.
The whole morning session was wasted in
attempted amendment of rules and llnnlly
sotno one in exasperation suld : "Lot's hear
Deeds' story and get It out of the way. "
So a bailiff was sent to look up Leeds. A
few minutes before he was lounging about the
sofas In the corridors with a lot of manuscript
n bis bund waiting nervously to bo called.
3ut when bo was wanted ho could not bo
'ound hluti or low , and the meeting had to
take up something elso. Mr. Leeds turned
up later In the afternoon nnd bo treated the
nagnntes to nearly on hour's talk. Ho had
lot half finished when it was decided to con-
, lnuo the narrative this mirnlng. Mr. Leeds
nadoseilous charges of rate-cutting , ills
said , against the Burlington and Hock Island ,
jut the cases antedated tUo organization of
.he Western Trafllc association. Ho prom-
scu to furnish something sensational today
that fully Justified his nttloo.
"Will Mr. Leeds have to got" was asked of
several of the presidents last evening. They
remained close-mouthed and were probably
moro so because they were nonplussed as to
what course they would pursue against Mr.
Gould than because there was nny doubt in
heir minds about the justice of his dis
charge.
Surprised at Chicago.
CHICAGO , May 7. Not a llttlo surprise wns
manifested In railroad clrcjus today by the
announcement from New York that Presi
dent Gould bad actually Ulscbsnred , General
Prattle Manager Leeds of Iho Missouri Pa
cific for violation of the president's agree
ment in reducing the rateon sugar. The
mprcssion had prevailed for several days
that Gould would manage to smooth over
ind by some trick would get out of the diffi
culty without incurringany ; penalty or being
put to the necessity of disciplining any em
ploye. Ono trafllc.ofllclal sajd.thls evening :
"Tho result shows that iGjould was in
earnest in his expressed -11,03Ira to maintain
larmoulous relations \vltljhis , competitors ,
tie evidently has more. pi.insitho carrying
out of which depends uponi. * continuation of
the agreement. After hovhr'su pun his web
and got the other roads wh/ntjttnoy can't do
nny harm to his intorcils J'ir-wii Qr that ho
won't bo at any pains .Ho preserve pence.
Leeds' so-called defense in
- was my opinion
a blind , for ho practically ! admitted that ho
nlouo was to blame and , made no great offer
to Justify his action. 1 tnlnk It was a pre
arranged schema to glvo Gould the opportu
nity of discharging him , and so making the
great point with the otUer , presidents , whoso
distrust of him had recently become so ap
parent. Leeds will bo tatejn cnro of. "
Other railroad men take a moro generous
view ol the matter , although it is hard to
find any who do not believe that Loed's
salary will go on Just the satno after bo has
loft the Missouri Pacific. The report that
Lie will bo given a position on the Union
Pad lie is not credited' ut all , because the
agreement provides that when an employe is
llschurged for n violation of tbo agreement
30 shall not bo employed by any company in
Lho association. It Is bollovod that Gould's
action will have a good effect in restoring a
mensuro of confidence in the Western Traffic
association und perhaps in loading to tbo
adoption cf a stronger and hotter agreement.
Another Loiiff Island Ilhodo.
Ni\v : YOIIK , May 7. Austin Corbln's long-
plumied railroad is to hove a competitor.
The New York , Brooklyn & Long Island
railroad company has fllcd" its corporation
papers under the general railroad act at Al

000 has been put up by a syndicate. That
some railroad scheme In connection with

Vuudorbllts has been tin ol en secret for some
tlmo. It was believed that they were uftor
the Long Island railroad stock that was re
cently bold by Corbln's old friends and his
partners , Maxwell At Graves. But the stock
became the property of Charles Pratt , the
Standard oil magnate who died so suddenly
in his office on Monday evening. The Van-
dcrbllt people announced at the tima that
they were not bidders for the stock nnd did
not want any interest in the Long Island
railroad and wouldn't tuko the road if it was
offered to them on a silver salvor. Ctmuncoy
M. Dopow said the Now York Central had
no use whatever for the Long Island rend , as
it secured all the business to give tbo Cen
tral by reason of natural conditions. Tno
organiiation of the now company , however ,
shows that there was n deeper reason for not
securing the old road than nny that wns men
tioned at the time thu block of stock was for
sale.

The recent transfer of the Union and Long
Island ferry companies to the Collins people
has an intimate relation to tbo now railroad
scheme. The Union ferry company controls
the Fulton street , \Vall street , Catharine nnd
South ferries , and the Long-Island forty con
trols the Jnmes ntrpnt ( "id Thirty-fourth
street ferries. Those ferries will bo impor
tant adjuncts or feeders to any road on the
island , and it is proposed , to connect them
very closely with the new one to bo built ,
The proposed route of the now road has
been carefully studied and practically decid
ed on , though the full surj-oy Is still to bo
made. Hut little can-bo learned as to the
route further than that it will saddle the
L.ong Island road ta all Important points on
both the north and south shores. It will
make close connections with tbo Brooklyn
elevated roads , thus catchin ? all the ferries
besides those mentioned and that bridge. It
is not Impossible that tbp now road will
ultimately have a direct cotmectlon with the
Central by way of the proposed Uast river
tunnel or ono of the now proposed bridges.

1AVE WE A CRUISER FAST ENOUGH ?
The Ilounittitrc of the Itohel Ship AV111
Up Important QncHtloiiH
ol' nn International
Charauter.
WASHINGTON , May ,7. Attorney General
illllcrthls afternoon made public the sub-
tnnco of the correspondence that has passed
between the officials hero n > id the authorities
nt Wilmington and San Diego , Cul. , relating
o the Insurgent vessel Ktata nnd the
chooncr Hobcrtund Minnie. Ho refused to
give out for publication the lull text of the
coriespondence. The In formation given bv
ho attorney gcneial agrees substantially
vlth that received in the press dls-
latches from these two points , The
representations upon which orders were
originally given to the collector of customs
at Wilmington mid subsequently to thu
Jutted States marshal at Wilmington nnd
San Diego to delay the Hobort and Minnie
vero made to Secretary Foster and the nttor-
loy general by the Chilian minister , were to
ho effect that ho had lu formation that the
icutrahty laws were being violated.
The telegrams received by the attorney
general indicated that the steamer 12tntn , 03-
capinp from San Diego w ith the deputy mar
shal on board , had scut him nshoro at n
lolnt on the coast about eight miles below the
citv.
citv.Tho
The Ktntn is a Chilian insurgent vessel of
ron build. She carries four cannon and
( H ) men. The telegrams mentioned a proba-
jillty that the Hobcrt and Minnie would go
to San Clements island , there to transfer her
arms and ammunition to the Ktntn.
The attorney general refused to Indicate
what further steps ho had taken In the mat
ter since the escape of tlio two vessels or to
discuss the probability of any international
complications nrlslng in connection with the
matter. The attorney general had several
conversations on the subject with the socro-
. .ary of the navy during the day and this
; nvo color to the story that efforts were to
)0 made to recapture the Etnta.
TMti vnii tntrn thn vooanl nn Mm llr l , anna
without violation of law i" a reporter asked
Secretary Tracy.
"Yes , sir , " replied the secretary , emphati
cally.
"Will you do it , " asked the reporter.
"I have oo nnswcr to make to that , " replied -
plied the secretary. "You cun't skin a bare
before you catch him. "
This seems to suinmnri/o the present situ
ation. The Ktata will bo captured if possi
ble , out she has a largo start of any pursuer.
Probably the new cruiser Charleston is the
only naval vessel In these waters that would
bo able to cope with the audacious and well
armed Ktata. But the Charleston Is at San
Francisco. A day would bo required to coal
her and then she would start from a
point several hundred miles north of
the place that the Etata loft , so that prac
tically the Chilian vessel has at least three
days' ' start of her pursuer. The navy de
partment officials will not say whether or
not tbo Charleston is to go in chase , but it is
known that they have been canvassing tbo
possibilities. - > * >
The capture of the Etnta raises important
questions of an International character. The
Alabama claims , which cost tbo British gov
ernment $20,000,000 , arose in a similar man
ner through the equipment of a confederate
vessel in an English port and the supplying
of men , guns and ammunition to her by
British vessels. As thn Etnta has been seized
by the United States at San Dioco she was
technically United Stntos property until
discharged , and Is therefore liable
to recapture on the high seas by a United
States man-of-war or to conllscation if she
over enters a United States port. So far n
is known thcro Is no charge of conspiracy
against olther thu Etata or the Robert and
Minnie. They are charged with violation of
the neutrality laws , which forbid the lilting
out In the United States of vessels for war
upon a country with which the United
States Is nt peace. Incidentally the ! ogal
determination of the force In charge Involves
the question ns to whether tbo Chilian in
surgents are to bo recognized by the United
States ( as they have been by Great Britain )
as belligerents and to the settlement of tills
question the state department officials are
already applying themselves.
SAN FHANCISCO , Cal. , May 7. From all
circumstances surrounding the case the
Etata is nothing more or less than a privateer
In the service of the Chilian rebels. Deputy
Marshal Spaulding's story of the escape is as
follows : "Nothing unusual occurred until
Wednesday , when u boat containing First
Mate Nelson , the surgeon with a
medicine chest and two passengers
came to us. As soon as the passengers landed
from thn boat they had a short conversation
with the captain. I was at that time in the
dining room. Five minutes tutor I tuund to
my surprise that the steamer was under full
bead of steam and making for the ocrun. The
captain came in n minute later and invltod mete
to his cabin , and a second later ho was Joined
by some of the passengers. They ex
hibited icvolvors nnd askea mo If
I was armed. Tbo captain , acting
as spokesman , .said : ' \\cll , I have
contraband goods on board , and this Is llfo or
death with mo. ' Then pointing his finger to
his throat , ho said : 'See , this is what It
means. ' I was so dumbfounded that I could
not answer. Ho then called two of the
Chilian crew who stood guard by the door ,
each armed Ho then told mo rot to be
alarmed , but that If I went out of the cabin
during his absence ho would not bo responsi
ble for what would happen , telling mo If I
attempted to civo a sign or jump
overboard ho would not bo responsible for
the result. About this tlmo 1 noticed them
lifting out of the hold four steel cannon , which
they placed in position on the upper deck ,
after which they were loaded In my pres
ence. Returning a few minutes later the
captain said ; 'I baiiu spulton tn the pilot
and instead of putting you off at Point
Lomnx , In ono of our boats , wo will got n
boat from n pilot nt the last point. Ho
then led mo out of the cabin , fol
lowed by his companions , each taking
their revolvers. Around on the deck were
100 Chilians , all armed to the teeth , each
having a repeating rltla and most of tncm
dressed in uniform. The captain gave a
saucy laugh and said : % Sco , wo have changed
Into a man of war. ' I looked at the
pilot and said. 'Are you going to
guide the shin out ! " The captain spoke
up and bnid 'Wo' exhibiting a rovolvor-
* Thls is going to guide It. ' The pilot spoke
up and said : 'I guess 1 am in for l ( . ' By
this tlmo wo were near the entrance of the
harbor and the captain gave orders to put
over a ladder and also to tbo pilot to stop
down mid , escorting mo to the ladder , snld
'You must excuse mo for putting you to this
annoyance. ' Then 1 was lowered over the
sldo and the Etutu passed out of the bay ,
beading north.
"Malting inquiries from the boatmen 1
found that I was to bo landed two mlles from
the town , 1 protested vigorously nt being
mndo n prisoner during the passaga out of
the harbor nnd leaving the fchip
whllo In tbo possession of the i-ov-
eminent , but they paid no attention
to my protest nnd kept mo a prisoner until
they arrived ut the point where they lot mo
off. 'I will go directly to Valparaiso anil
would llko to have you wrlto mo there if you
feel so disposed , ' bald ttio captain , gluing

Etatu as far north as Cni > o Bt. l.ucas ,
and Is awaiting the return of the latter ves

Captain Mttuzenas Is only employed to navl
gate the ship and thu real coinmiuukn' is a
native Chilian and bo gave all orders "
