Hearty Greeting Extended the Ac quitted Man. JURY WAS OUT TWO HOURS. 1Vhr the Verdict ws Annnnncoil Ite epouclent unit Wife Ilant Into Tear ituil the 1-itter Klaaexl Knrli of the Jurun Other Kente of the Meek. Celebrated Chub mt n Knd. After being out ono hour and fifty ninnks, the jury in the Sutton casts .returned a verdict of not guilty just at tioou on tho 2d, and the court room soon Ijocamc a scene for general rejoic ing. When the verdict was announced ly Foreman Fred llrown, of Mason, button and his wife burst into tears, while his attorneys also found use for their handkerchiefs. Mrs. Sutton went ovr and kissed each one of the jurors, while lier husband shook their hands warmly and thanked them for the verdict. Gov. Pingree, who had been a con stant attendant at the trial, was in his ottkio at the japitol, when the verdict 'was given, but he telephoned for Sutton zwd his wife and they went over to re ceive his congratulations. Tho gov ernor was wrathy over what he termed the unfairness of Judge Wicst'ti charge, mid in addition to talking1 loudly, punctuated his remarks with tome -characteristic language. The jurors luul agreed among themselves not to make public any of their deliberations, but after the jolliiications at the hotel they forgot all about the agreement. Tim ballots were taken, nine being for acquittal, one for conviction and two blank. On the next ballot the vote stood 11 to 1 for acquittal, and the t.hinl ballot found the jury unanimous for acquittal. It is said that this re sult was arrived at within 20 minutes, Init that it was decided to remain out until noon as the juror who had first 7otcd for conviction thought it would not look well to bring1 in a verdict so wxm. While Sutton's counsel did not like Jnu"g Wiest's charge, they refrained :froui making any open comments, and tlw verdict made it unnecessary for anything to be said. l'rosecuting At torney Titttle refused to make ari sta te men t regarding the result, lie did r,ay, however, that he stood in a position to prosecute any man against -whom a. complaint was made, and -would do so, though he did not know that he could convict. This had re ference to the insinuations that he had promised immunity to the directors of Uio Kalamazoo company. The latter were discussed by Gov. l'ingree and his friends, and it is not improbable that they will take steps to make complaints against the Kalamazoo people. Fe-ik of Lightning.

Oren was at Lansing in con sultation with the tax commissioners regarding' this matter recently, and while the exact nature of the proceed ings to be taken has not been decided tipoij, it is probably that the supreme r.rt will be asked for a mandamus to oompcl the Cirand llapids assessors to correct the assessment as directed by the state commission. The Grand Kap ads o facials claim that this provision of the tax commission law is unconstitu tional as the constitution places the Jnty of determining assessments upon the local oflicials.

Of Our Trade With the New Pos sessions for the Current Year, CUBA'S EXPORTS TO THE U. S, Will Amount to 3 1,000,000 Against WIS, OOO, OOO In 1808 I)eilte the War Coudltlone Her Kxports Will Kst-eed That of miy Year Since 18114 Trade With Our New 1'omemlons. Facts that are figures for commer cialists appear in tho latest output of statistics form the treasury bureau de voted to that art. In tho collation of figures relating to exports from the L S. to Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Ha waiian nud Philippine islands, it de velopes that the sum total for the fiscal year ending with the present month will reach $15,000,000. This will be more than three times as great as in 1896 and more than twice as much as in any year of American commerce with those islands, except 1S92-3-4, when reciprocity greatly increased ex ports to Cuba aud Puerto Rico. To Cuba the total for the fiscal year seems likely to bo fully S25,OoO,000, against $7,530,000 in the fiscal year 1S96 aud $24,157,000 in the great reci procity year 1S93, when exports to that island were more than double those of live years earlier. To Puerto Rico, the exports of the year will be in round terms $2. 600,00), against an average of $2,750,000 in the reciprocity years 1S92, 1S93 and l.V.H, when exports to that island were double thoso of earl ier years. To the Hawaiian islands the total for the year will be about Sl5.000.ooo, or live times as much as in If 93, nearly four times as much as in 1S96. and more than double the total for lv.H. To the Philippines the total for P.hh) will be about S.500,ooo, or more than in the entire five years since 1 .", the date of which the lirst record of our exports to the Philippines was made by the treasury bureau of sta tistics. To the Samoan islands, the exports of the year will be about $125, 000, or nearly as much as in all the years since 196. at which date the o!1i cial records of our exports to those isl ands began. On the import side, Cuba begins to show something of her old-time strength as an exporting island, as the total imports into the U. S. from Cuba for the full year will show a total of $31,000,01)0, against ffl 5. 000,000 in 1S9S ami $1 ".500,000 in 1S97, though they still are less than half the average for the reciprocity years 1S92, 193 and fs94, when our imports from that isl and averaged over $75,000,000 per an num. From Puerto Rico the imports of the year will be $1,350,000, which is le.-.s than the total for any preceding year since 1S"0. and is presumably due to the destruction by last year's tor nado of the crops which supply Puerto Rico's chief articles of export. From the Hawaii.an islands the imports for the full fiscal year will be $21,000,000. or double the average annual importa tion for the period prior to 190, and 20 per cent higher than in any preced ing year, while from the Philippines, despite the war conditions which re duce producing and exporting power, the imports will be larger than in any year since 194. Kellef Force Kft.ached KoowdkIo, The London colonial ollice has re ceived a dispatch from Cape Coast Cas tle, dated May 31, saying it is believed there that Capt. Hall with a relief party, entered Koomasie. May 26. The governor, Sir Frederick Mitchell Hodg son, with the sick, wounded and refu gees, was expected to arrive at Fumsn. May 30. Troops, it is added, have been concentrated at Fumsu to overcome any possible resistance by the rebels, who are reported to be to the north. If the report of the relief of Koomasie is correct, it greatly improves the mili tary situation. It is understood that Capt. Hall has with him a force of 300 men and that altogether 3,000 men have been marching to the relief of the beleaguered town. The season is now in full swing and no punitive ex pedition can be successfully undertaken until the autumn. rremut lire Kxploalnn of Nltro-Cljrorlne. Four men were killed at Whipple, a short distance east of Marietta, O., on the 31st, by a premature explosion of 50 quarts of nitro-glycerine which was being tised in shooting an oil well on the Kelly farm.

As everybody on the ground was either killed or injured, it is next to impossible to get a reliable descrip tion of the terrible explosion. Cholera In India. The viceroy of India, Lord Curzon, of Kedleston. telegraphs that a good rain has fallen in Mysore and that scattered showers have fallen else where.

In the Kalra district there have been 1,330 deaths in seen days. Tflnco tt be fjaarant Ined. At a meeting of the board of super visors of San Francisco, held on the 29th, and attended by the board of health, tho Merchants' association and the board of trade and other interested citizens, a resolution was adopted em powering the loard of health to quar antine Chinatown or any other infected section of the city and county. Tho resolution was passed by a vote of 15 to 1, the dissenting vote being cast by Supervisor McCarty, who stated in em phatic terms his belief that plague does not exist and never has existed in the city aud county of Sau Francisco. CONGRESSIONAL NOTES. The record of tho first session of the 56th congress is now practically closed, and it is possible to survey tho impor tant work it has accomplished during the last six months. It has been a busy congress, the busiest, uceording to veteran o.'licials, in many years. In some respects the work has been less exciting than that of the preceding congress, which covered tho dramatic period when war was declared against Spain and also tho period of recon struction aud treaty making with Spain following the successful close of tho war. Hut in work actually act ually accomplished and started to ward accomplishment the record of the present session stands well in compari son with the most energetic congresses. Our new territorial possessions have received much attention, and while there has been no definite action as to the Philippines or Cuba, a form of gov ernment ami a means of raising reve nue has been provided for Puerto Rico, and a comprehensive territorial form of government has been given to Ha waii. The financial act has made im portant changes in the laws relating to the parity of the metals, the bonded indebtedness, national banks and tho security of the treasury by a gold re serve. The Nicaragnan canal bill has passed the house and is on the calen dar of the senate ready for attention when congress reconvenes. The anti trust bill is similarly advanced, the anti-trut constitutional amendment has a defeat recorded against it. The Pacific cable measure has passed the senate and is awaiting final action in the house. The exclusion of Hrigham R. Roberts from a seat in the house be cause of his polygamous status, tho re fusal of the senate to admit Mr. Quay on the appointment of the governor of Pennsylvania and the sensational charges, investigation and develop ments in the senate in the case of Mr. Clark, of Montana, have added some exciting personal phases to the session. The totad appropriations cannot be stated with exactness, as five bills are pending, but it is approximately S700, 000,000 for the session. A few minutes after the senate con vened on the 1st, Senator Perkins pre sented some memorials from business organisations in California requesting congress to make appropriations to re lieve the distress of the famine dis tricts in India. He said ho would not make, an' recommendations himself, for the reason that several days ago a member of the far-western states sent to India 4.000 or more tons of food pro ducts, and (ireat Hritain had never ac knowledged the donation or the cour tesy. Just then Senator Hale inter rupted Senator Perkins, and in a speech of only a few minutes, made one of the most sensational attacks on tireat Hritain ever heard in the senate. He lambasted the nation for spending hundreds of millions of dollars to crush the South African republics, and em phatically declared that if they had any sympathy or hearts, instead of de stroying the liberties of those repub lics, the L'nglish people would send money to relieve the distress in the greatest dependency that country pos sessed. The debate was becoming so warm that Senator Aldrich arose and demanded the regular order. At the conclusion of a session lasting eight hours, the senate on the 31st passed the sundry civil appropriation bill, which has been under considera tion for nearly a week. The amend ment providing for an appropriation of $5,000,000 for the Louisana Purchase exposition, to be held in St. Louis in 1903. was continued in the bill. An ef fort was made to reduce the amount to be appropriated, but it was unsuccess ful. An amendment was incorporated providing for the beginning of the work on the memorial bridge between Wash ington and Arlington cemetery, to be erected in memory of the dead of both the union and confederate armies. The house on the first, after a lively debate extending over two days, de feated the joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment empowering congress to regulate trusts. It requires a two-thirds vote under the constitu tion to adopt an amendment to the constitution. The vote stood ayes 154, nays 131. The affirmative vote, there fore, was 33 short of the requisite two thirds, 192. Ily a vote of 5 to 4 the senate com mittee on privileges and elections on the 29th voted to report adversely on Mr. Corliss' amendment to the consti tution to elect senators by the people. This settles the amendment for this session of congress. The rowers Feur Itustla. Twenty-three warships are now at Taku, nine Russians, three IJritish, three German, three French, two American, two Japanese and one Ital ian.
