What will be the verdict against Mrs. George ? was the ques tion asked wherevnr two or more people mot ever since the noon hour , when tht'Jiiry retired to Its deliberations. None could answer It , but all were willing to conjecture , forecasts running all the way from acquittal to first degree murder without mercy , with r > disagreement the favorite paddle In the wheel ot fortune. Nothing came from the Jury room to fore- east what was occurring within. A greater bar to the publicity of the deliberations than contempt of court was the large draughting room of the county surveyor , Intervening between the Jury room and the corridors through which It Is approached. As the afternoon dragged along It was concluded bv deduction that the extremes of posslbllo verdicts had been' eliminated and that differ ences of opinion were being united In a ver dict of guilty of n reduced degree. Many ex pressed the belief , for which they claimed no authority , that It would bo manslaughter. At no tlmo was the court room deserted. The nearest approach was about C o'clock , when tUo Judge went to dinner and an even ing meal was ordered to the Jury room. Then the spectators , many of whom had been In attendance all day , filed out. Their places were promptly taken by others who came to stay out the evening. Judge Taylor went to the hotel Just across the street , leaving Instructions with tbo bailiff that ho would come to the court room to receive a verdict nt any time during the night or early In the morning that thu jury was ready to report. Meanwhile Mrs. George was In her cell In the jail , alsj "waiting and ready to como Into the court room and hear her fate. Relatives and friends remained with her nnd her appear ance nnd manner Indicated hopo. ProrrcilInKN of thp Uny. The day began with a resumption by Prosecuting Attorney Pomereno of his clos ing arguments for the prosecution. He con tinued n review of the testimony , first pay ing attention to the time of various Incidents and the alibi attempted on bttialf of the ac cused. Ho said no man Is nil bad and that many bavo reason to remember George D. Saxton for his good qualities and for hla charity. Ho declared no ono could say Gcorgo D. Saxton ever Insulted a virtuous nnd upright woman. Mr. Pomereno concluded his argument and submitted his case to the jury nt ll:3o : o'clock. The Judge Immediately began hla charge to the jury. "Ii you ttnd from the testimony that s > lie did In fact kill said Saxton , " the judge said , "n-j ln the Indictment set out , there Is no Justification or excuse or defense , but such mltlgo.tlng conditions are to be considered for tbo purpose of enabling yon to determine - mine whether or not said homicide was com- milled with deliberation or premeditation. Thu alleged wrongs nnd misfortunes of the defendant , or the failure of the deceased to keep any of his alleged promises , or both of I tiheso together , would furnish no justification for taking his life. Neither did the de fendant have any right to take the law Into her own hands to right wrongs which she may hnvo suffered or which she claims to have tmffercul. "WCiut tihreuts , If nny , were made by her against him , the nature nnd the circum stances under which they were made , If nny at all , and the weight lo bo given to them are all matters for you to determine In the light of the ovtdonco and circumstances In thu case. This testimony Is admissible as tending to show malice and motive nnd the deliberation and premeditation with which tlm crime charged wan committed. "It Is In order for you to determine , In the light of the testimony , whether the wit nesses for the state , Christina Eckroat and Mary Grablo , or either of them , used mor- ! phlno or like drugs In such quantity or for such length of tlmo ns to affect moral per- jccitlon nnd the Imagination nnd reliability for truth-telling ; and also what , If any , weight is to bo given to their testimony or the testimony of either of them. | "Tho fact that the defendant was not I called as n witness In her own bcflialf Is netS S In bo considered by you as any evidence or . even n circumstance against her. The dc- I fcndant'H attempt to prove an ulthl Is no admission - ! mission of the crime charged , nor docs her failure to prove an alibi , If she has failed to prova It , necessarily Infer any presumption that she wac present nt the tlmo and place and when and whcro the crime Is alleged to have been committed. " Shortly after 11 o'clock Judge Taylor 'Sft the court room and retired to his hotel across the street. The attorneys In the case left shortly afterward. The most peralbtent report at midnight was that the jury stands eight for acquittal and four for manslaughter. The feeling Is that no verdict will be reported tonight. \ -\v Hi-rclvcm of I hiiiilf ( , KANSAS CITY , April 27. This afternoon Webster Withers of this city and S. W.

The Navy department In a foot note to the above announces that It has already completed arrangements for supplying coal to Admiral Kautz and It will noon bu at his command : Particulars of the fighting in Samoa , con tained In the advices received hero from Apia under date of April IS show that the battle between the friendly natives and the rebels took place at Vallelo and that the latter lost 100 men In hilled and wounded. Further details of the deaths of Ensign J. H. Monaghan of the United States cruiser Philadelphia and Lieutenant I . V. Lans- dale of the same vessel have been received. They show that Mouaghan was beheaded before - fore he was dead. A deserter from the Mntanfnn forces says Mouaghan and Lans- dale were retreating when they were dis covered by a chief and his \\lfc who were looking for dead men. They gave the alarm and Monaghan was shot while continuing the rcsoue. Later It appears the rebels re turned and killed Lansdala. Monaghan fought until ho was wounded and he was then beheaded. The doctor's examination of the remains confirms the statements. AUCKLAND , N. 7 . , April 27. Suatcle , the principal rebel chief , ran away and told his people 100 Urltlsh had been killed. Mataafan deserters assert that the Germans sent cartridges In bags of rice and sugar along the coast in December. Admiral Kautz , It is asserted In the ad vices received , llred a blank shot on April S across the bows of a German schooner which was leaving Apia without reporting. The rebels who were in possession of the late Hobcrt L. Stevenson's house and some forts were attacked In the rear by some Tamascse frlendlles , who killed three of them nnd wounded others. One friendly native was killed In the fight , Frightful weather has been prevailing at Apia , the sailors being compelled to sleep four nights In the wet trenches. The friendly natives , under the command of Lieutenant II. A. Oaunt of the Urltlsh third-class cruiser Porpoise , \\oro attacked on April 12 from the French mission sta tion at Falita. One of his men was wounded. The rebels weio eventually routed with the losa of four men killed. The Tamasese lines wore extended on April 13 to the Vallele battlefield. Mataafa at tacked the frlendlles and Count's brigade joined In the engagement and fought well , Four bodice of slain rebels were recovered. The others were dragged away. One friendly was killed and beheaded. The rebels had a German Hag flying from their forts. About 2,000 women and children have sought refuge at the-Moluit station of the London Missionary society. The rebels are seizing the traders' rifles , cartridges nnd stores and tbo traders are j Heelng to Apia. Business Is at a standstill - still nnd a strong land force Is urgently needed. IlrliiK.s Von IlueliMV Hack. Von Buelow , formerly a lieutenant In the German army , and the man who organized the forces of Mataafa here , armed with a sword , gun and cartridges , proceeded to Savali with thirteen boats nnd100 rebels and the German war ship Falko sailed on a secret mission with Herr Hose and the German consul on board. Captain Leslie C. Stuart , commander of the British third- class cruiser Tauranga , in the nlhenco of Admiral Kautz , who was coaling the Phila delphia at Page Page , wrote to the German consul urging him to secure Von Buelow , and the next day the Falke returned with Von Buelow on board. The offer of Now Zealand to send troops to Samoa caused enthusiasm at Apia. The Inhabitants ate almost unanimous In the belief that the treaty Is a failure , and there Is a strong feeling in favor of annexation. Prominent American citizens and British subjects Bay German annexation Is prefera ble to the triple control and that unlesp Mataafa Is subdued another war Is Inevitable within a year. The British third-class cruiser Porpolso is Btlll engaged In punitive crultcs. On April 15 a battle was fought at Man- gla , fifteen miles east of Apia. About 2,000 rebels attacked a Gaunt landing party , con sisting of about 100 men. The latter were subjected to a hot flro nnd retreated to the shelving beach , where they defended them selves bravely for ' a time nnd afterward swam back to their boats under a heavy fire. Chief Mullangl , with twelve friendly natives , refused to retire nnd charged into a burning village , driving a number of rebels before them with splendid , reckless bravery. Haunt's party then returned to the as sistance of the fricndllcs and the whole party retired. Four men were wounded and several of the party had miraculous escapes. The cut- 4er belonging to the party fired all Us Nord- cnfcldt ammunition during the fight and the Porpoise frequently shelled the bush. The rebels had eight men killed and many wounded , Only one of the bluejackets In the cutter was wounded. A trader fled towards the war ship and has succeeded In escaping , although six rebels took deliberate aim at him as ho was rowing off. HriiiMVH UK * FlKhUlIK' . On April 17 a second battle was fought at Vallclcinn. The lighting was desperate , the rebels holding strong fortifications , which were Ineffectively Miollcd by the ships. The frlendlles advanced to the attack with Fallo- alalo and Dann on thu loft , Gaunt In the center , with 120 men from Tuannisanea on the right. Gaunt's party dcllveied such a heavy flro that the rebels rctreatpd to a second and stronger fort about 100 yards back. The Tuarnasanga frlendlles bolted , but Gaunt crawled out to the firing line and drove them back nt the point of his revolver. They then advanced to attack the second fort , but found tlui position too strong nnd lost several men killed and wounded. Ten shells from the ships burst close behind the rebels' lints and the rebels sang a war song after the explosion of each shell. Gaunt again returned to the attack , and SUCCKSSFUL TIIINKHUS.

Gaunt succeeded In crawling to within fifty yards of the fort , ] but found It too strong to capture , as the | friendly supports were unreliable. Ills party then retired In good order with four men killed nnd clghtcou wotuided. of which number three were mortally wounded. The rebel loss was not ascertained , but was probably small. The Tauranga nnd 1'orpolso shelled the position at sundown , but the result of the firing is not known. Qannt's brigade nnd n portion of the friendly supports stood the fire splendidly. During the engagement ( Jaunt succeeded In capturing a Herman Hag which was flying over the fort. The British consul , A. B. S. Maxso and Dr. Add ! , the surgeon of the Philadelphia , wuro under flro all day long. A further attack was to have been made next day. On the return of the landing party Cap tain Stuart of the Tauranga signalled , "Well done , ( Jaunt's brigade , " the Americans and Biltlsh cheering the returning party , whoso vlvaudlcrs ( sutlers ) were probably carrying the captured Herman colors. BEHLIN , April 27. An oinclol dispatch dated Apia , Samoa , April 18 , has been re ceived here. It says that after the arrival of the last mall the United States crulbcr Philadelphia loft Apia ana proceeded down to the American treaty port of Page Page , while the British war ehlps continued alone the bombardment of the coast villages on the northern coast of Upolu , while slight en gagements occurred on land. The dispatch adds : "On April 17 there was a collision tlneo miles from Apia which ended In the retreat of the Tanu people. The number of killed nnd wounded was about seventy. No Europeans were Injured. A British detachment lylng"in reserve took no part In the fight. " lllCH HuNOR All ) TO GRANT ( Continued from First Page. ) explained to him that they were organized last fall during the pence Jubilee by the Chrl&tlan league of this city. The wreath was a magnificent ono nnd measured more than three feet In diameter. In the center was the following Inscription : Klinl Itriiiviiiliriinci * from Chinese. "From his excellency , the Chinese minister to the United States , Wu Tung Fong , ns n token of his respect for the memory of the late General U. S. Grant , nnd a tribute of friendship from the Chineseomplre , " Wicaths were nlso laid at the base of the dtatue by 'the ' Daughters of the Revolution and the Pennsylvania commandcry , Military Order of the Loyal Legion , Then followed the review of the 6,000 troops. The parade was started at 2:30 : o'clock and ttio line of march was north on Broad .street to Spruce , around the city hall to Spring Garden street , thence west to the river drive In Folrmount park nnd then up the drlvo past the statue. The parade reached the reviewing stand a few mlnutca after the statue had been unveiled. The column was red by two companies of eallors from the cruiser Ilalelgh , In com mand of Lieutenant Commander Phclps. Ida sailors were the heroes of the proces sion. They wtre followed by details of ma rines and sailors from the League Ibland navy yard , the First , Second , Third , Sixth , Nineteenth and Twentieth reglmctits , Bat- 'tcry ' D , the Second City Troop of the Penn sylvania National Guard and n number of other minor military organizations. After the review the president and the others of tbo distinguished party returned to 'tho hotel. On the return trip General Miles rode In'tlio carriage with the prcol- dent. CoiicliiMlou of CeriMiinnloH , The ceremonies ot the day were concluded by a public meeting at the Academy of Music tonight. The spacious building was crowded to the doors. President 'McKlnley ' and all of the other distinguished people who attended the unveiling exerclsss were pres ent. Speeches eulogistic of the famous soldier- president were made. The oration was de livered by Hampton L. Carson , ono of Phil adelphia's leading lawyers. President Mc Klnley did not Intend to speak. In response to loud and persistent calls from the audience the president rose , bowed and resumed hla seat. The cheering con tinued and became deafening , and finally the president arose and spoke as follows : My Fellow Citizens : I cannot add a single word to the just nnd beautiful tribute paid to the great warrior by your fellow citizen In this presence tonight. I remember half a dozen years ago to have been in Galena delivering an address at the unveiling of a statue to General Grant nnd this story was told me : That General Grant , then a captain and out of the service pre sided over their first union meeting in 1SC1 , "the " first meeting after the call for volun teers. The meeting was n largo one , held In the old court house , and Inquiries were made all over the room who It was that was thus called to preside over that important assembly. Some one said : "It is Captain Grant. " "Well , who Is Captain Grant , Wo never heard of him. " In four years from that tlmo ho presided over the greatest union meeting ever hold beneath the flag at Appomattox court house , nnd his name was on every Up ( applaiifco ) and his fnco was familiar to every American home. Subsequently he was greeted by nil raccH and filled the whole world with his fame ns ho Journeyed In the pathway of the HUH. Ho was a great soldier. It took the guna of Grant to give life to Lincoln's proclamation. Ho will bo rcmembcied for all tlmo and his name forever cherished ns the soldier who preserved the union of the statos. He had a sacred attachment for the soldiers. Crnnt'NVorU Well Dniif. It Is gratifying to us to know that the men against whom ho fought In that great civil btrugglo and their descendants carried with tbo men of the north and their de scendants the glorious banner of the free at Santiago , Kl Canoy nnd Manila ( cheers mid npplauso ) and that wo lnivo a union today tstrongor anil grander than ever before for It Is n union of hearts , north and south , union undlssolublo , novcr to bo broken ( ap plause ) and it is gratifying to us to know- that the flag which Grant and his mighty army mndo glorious has lost none nf Its luster at ) It has been carried by the army and navy of the United States on two hemi spheres. So as long as wo perpetuate In our hearts the memory of Grant so Jong will this bo enduring. Good night. ( Great applause. ) Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clork the prcsl- dent and others tf the party will visit the Kulelgh. The president will rijturn to ita hotel shortly 'before noon and during the afternoon will leave the city. H 1 not un likely that ho and Mrs. 'McKlnluy ' will go to Nuw York , Instead of Washington. If ho docs go to the metropolis them Is a possi bility that ho may make a trip to Massa chusetts with Secretary Long. The trip. If made , will ho ealcly for rrtt. The president la feeling much hotter than for some days past , but desires a little relaxation. General ( Miles returned to Washington to night and Attorney General Grlgps went to New York. Mrs. Grant and MUs Sartorla will probably go to Washington tomorrow.

Hon. C. L. Magco was chairman nt the dinner and Clarence Hurley , city attorney , was toast master. Major General Wheeler responded to the toast "Grant" and Hear Admiral Schlcy to- piled to "Our Navy" In part as follows : "Fresh as we a.ro from a war In which Mich wonderful rc'sults have been achieved through the Instrumentalities about you , 1 can understand the- desire of the good people ple of Plttsburg to know something of the persons who helped to bring about the re sults In which so many of your skilled ar- tls.ins have had their share. "Tho war history of our navy Is familiar to you all , and no words I could add ot Its dash and daring In the recent struggle would seem necessary ; the names ot Its great captains will live Impcrishnbly In the affection of our people , for whom they wrought and fought.

Later a reception was hold at the Amcr lcus club , when an opportunity was given thousands of Pittsburgers to shako banfia with tbo the heroes of Santiago nnd San Juan. General Wheeler was asked If ho had been assigned to the Department of Toxns. "I hope not , " ho replied quickly. "I want to go to the Philippines. There are sev eral good fights left in mo yet nnd I thin * I could servo my country to the best art- vantage In aetlvo service In the field. I liavo not given up hope of being sent to Manila. Have you any news from Lawton ? " The general was shown the headlines In a newspaper and chuckled when he read that the Americans had Just gained a signal vic tory over the Filipinos. General Wheeler said bo bad great faith In the volunteers In Btrvlco I.i the cast. An effort was made to get an expression from Admiral Schlcy on Admiral Kautz's letter , but ho simply waved the qucbtlon away with a smile and gesture signifying that ) 'C did not care to open his mouth while such n subject was under discussion.
