JURORS FAR APART
Could Not Agree in the Silas
Case.
AT THE FAIR LAST NIGHT.
A New Grand Army Post at the Soldieri*'
Home. Judge Blackntoiie and ilie
Circuit .ludgeship. Other
Ma t rs.
It was nearly 4 o'clock y sterdaty af?
ternoon before a jury could be secured
t. try the case of the comimonweal't'h
against Charles Silas, alias Charles Sli?
ver, in ..et' ? upon the charge of at?
tempting to kill Edward Wallace, fore?
man of Darling's oyster house, on the
5th of January. Silas, it will be ratiem
?bere X is the negro who, aft- r shooting
at Wal.ace, went to his h..me on North
King stioet and threatened to shoot any
oflic.r that entered the house for the
purpose of arresting himl
The story' of the assault was repeated
yesterday toy VMr. Wallace and Junius
?Walker, a trustworthy negro who was
in th oyster hous..- at the time and
witnessed it. Silas -had been discharged
for failure to perform his work in ac?
cordance with Mr. Wallace's instruc?
tions. He had been previously wurn.d
'by the foreman that the manner in
which he separated; the large oysters
from the small ones was not satisfac?
tory, and was toll- that if he did not do
better he would have to quit. I; ap?
pears, however, from the sworn state?
ment of Mr. Wallace that the negro ig?
nored the warning and on the day of the
sin oting his attention was again called
to the matter.
He replied that if his work was not
satisfactory the foreirr.an could dis?
charge him. and Mr. Wallace lost no
time in demonstrating the oorreettv ss
of the negro's position. But when he
found himself without employment Silas
beca'me angry, and. appearing in that
fart of the oyster house in which the
foreman was at work, demanded rein?
statement, adding that it was a matter
of bread and' tutter with him and' that
ur/ess he was put to work again he
would kid Wallace. Tht' latter was
standing on a platform two f>.et above
tho floar. Wh*>n hd turned to-w:ird SilrtB
his eyes fell upon the gleaming barn!
of a pistol. The negro was but a yard
or two away. Tn an Instant Wallace
mad up his mind what to do. and,
gathering all his strength, leaped from
th platform and caught the hand that
held the weapon. As he did so the pis?
tol' was dis harged; the taM indicting a
slight wound on the left hand and lodg?
ing in the wall opposite. At this junct?
ure WaU*.-r sprang forward and assist?
ed the foreman in reaching the paint
roonu For doing this Silas drew an?
other revolver and, holding one in each
hand, threaten; d to kiJT him it he took
further port in the affair.
Messrs. Causey and ScCater and George
W. Fiel;, app-ared for1 the prison-r.
They placed several witnesses on the
stand, among them being thv mother of
Silas and a saintly negro with a y Ih w
face who was employed1 in the house on
the day of the shooting, hut not in the
room in which it occurred. This fel?
low swore that WaTCaee and Silas en?
gage.} in a tussle among some barrels, a
statement which' both Wallace and
Walker deni-d an.l in all probability
which Silas himself would have been
bonest en -ugh to deny had he been
pltsc d on the stand and asked the ques?
tion. He was also of the opinion that
the prisoner is a man of-unsound min!,
and he ought to know, because he ha i
3>een acquainted with him for fiftexn or
seventeen years. Silas' mother said thot.
he ha i li -m a p- t an a boy. and that he
was always good ex- ept when he wint?
er: something which it was not proper
for him to hove, when he b-.came an?
gry. One or two ether witnesses wer:
called to [trove Silas non compos mentis
?and th, defence rested.
Mr.Coilier proposed to submit the case
without argument, hut attorneys f?r
Si.as preferred' to speak. Attorney Fields
?doff. Mr. Causey followed. The bur?
den of their argument was th* irr-spon
sibility or' ehe prisoner. Mr. Collier
-poke thirty minu: s Midway his ad?
dress he picked J'i tap self-aetin:; revol?
ver taken from Sttas and was rxp ain
irg to the jurors Why the s-hot eoull
not have t!) >;n accidental, as claimed by
the defence, when R. ID. Wood, a mem
>ber of the panel, broke out with?
"But you dddn't prove that he had a
sei f-acti ig revolver!"
Mr. Collier, thinking it improper for
him. to argue the case with a juror, of?
fered to call' Mr. Wad!ace to th-- stand
again and have him/ Tepeat his testi?
mony! on that point. This was objected
to. .however, and he proo. eded to ckse
his speech.
Shortly after the jurors retired the
opinion was freely vxpressod that they
would fail to agree, while others held
that in cas- of an agrement Silas would
get off at six months in the county jail.
Th.- fitst puess was correct. At a late
hour the jurors were called in and Mr.
Wood announced that there was no
possibility of an agrement. Judge Lee
r.lfused, however, to discharge them and'
they will 'lie required to report' this
morning.

OUR FOREIGN THAI) 13.
Interesting Facts and Figures in a n Ag?
ricultural -Department Dulh'tin.
(By Telegraph.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.?The Agri?
cultural Department has just isu-nl a
bulletin on our foreign trade in agricul?
tural products during the five fiscal
years 1*93-1*97 inclusive, prepared by
Frank H. Hitchcock, the chief of the
section of foreign markets. The follow?
ing is an abstract:
During the fiscal year of 1S!)7 the Uni?
ted States exported domestic merchan?
dise amounting to $1.032.007,603, thus
outstripping all previous records in the
history of our foreign trade, or the
various commodities comprised in these
enormous exports. 66.S4 -per cent., with a
total value of $089,755,193 had their ori?
gin in agriculture. <>nlv two producing
years. 1S91 and 1S92, eacih marked by
abundant harvests in this country,
coupb-d with meager ones abroad, show
a larger exportation of a-gricultural
products than is recorded for IS97.
Compared with the agricultural re?
ports during lsyti. the shipments of ls.>7
disclose a total gain of ?liri.3fi6.920.
As regards our import trade, the lis
cal year 189" shows a total valuation
Of all kinds of merchandise of $764,730,
+12, and of this amount $764,871,408 ex?
pended for agricultural imports. Near?
ly $10.000,000 more than in 1896.
This exceptional growth of our .agri?
cultural imports, however, is probably
attributed in a large measure to the
fact that during 1897, in order tu escape
the prospective import duties of the
tariff legislation then (lending, certain
products were imported much more ex?
tensively than would otherwise have
been the case. In trie imports of wool
there was an increase during 1897
amounting to more than $20,000,000,while
the receipts of sugar were larger by
nearly $10.000,000.
The falling off that took place in a
considerable portion of our agricultu?
ral imports for 1897 may be accounted
for in part 'by the recent introduction
into the United Status and the success?
ful propagation 'here of certain prod?
ucts we were formerly obliged to pur?
chase elsewhere.
Among the products that contributed
most to the gain in the exports of ag?
ricultural products during the year are
mentioned cotton, wheat and corn, the
combim-d increase in the total export
value of these uhree items -amounting
to more than $75,000.000.
In cotton there was an exceptionally
large gain, the increase amounting to
$40,834.511. Notwithstanding the aver?
age export price fell from 8.1 cents per
pound in 1890 to 7.4 cents In 1897.
After cotton. Ohe product tibat exhib?
ited the large.-t Increase during 1897
was wheat. In 1S36 our exports of this
cereal were unusually small, but dur?
ing the following year, a stronger for?
eign demand, occasioned by short cr ops
abroad, called for increased exhorta?
tions. The gain in quantity was 1*.
'.111,940 bushels, and in value $20,210,310.
During seme years the shipments of
wheat-flour exceeded in value tlnve of
wheat in the grain, but in 1897 the order
was reversed.the exports of grain show?
ing a greater value by about $4,000,000
than l hose of flour.
One of the most interesting features
of the export trade of 1S97 was the re?
markable increase that took place in
the quantity of Indian corn disposed of
abroad, the total shipments of the year
aggregating 170,916,305 bushels, exceed?
ing by more than 75,000,000 bushels the
export,- of 1S96, and surpassing wide
margin all previous records.
The value of corn sent to foreign mar?
kets in 1807 was $54.087,152.
Other cereals that were exported in
greatly increased quantities during
1S97 to meet foeign deficiencies were
oats and barley. Shipments of oats
valued at $8.756.207, as against $3.497,611
in t'he year preceding1, while those of
barley increased from $3.100.311 to $7,
(146.384 in value. The exports of rye
also show a notable gain, having ad?
vanced from $445.075 for 1896 to $3,667,
505 for 1897.
Buck wheat shipments in 1897
amounted to 1,677,102 bushels. The
total value of breads!uffs exported by
the United Stales during 1897 amounted
to $197,357,219. as compared with $1-11,
356,993 during 1896.
Flax seed shipments -also increased
from SO,453 bushels in 1896 to 1,713,747
in 1897.
In the category comparing the various
kinds of live stock and their products,
the most important gains were in the
exportation of cattle, (horses, fresh beef,
hams, bacon, butter and cheese. The
principal increase of 1897 over 1896 were
approximately as follows: Cattle, $3.
000,000: 'horses, $1.27)0,000: fresh beef.
$3.675,000: hams. $3.250,000: bacon, $745.
000; butter. $1,500,000: cheese. $1,600.000.
Other agricultural exports that made
gala-; exceeding $1.000,000 in value dur?
ing 1897 over 1896 were fruits, oil cake
and oil cake meal, and cotton seed oil
The value of fruits sent abroad ad?
vanced from $5.5S5,7S3 in 1S96 to $7,613,
500 in 1897. With regard to lard, coal
oil aud glucose, it happened in 1897 as
a result of lower export prices that a
material increase in the quantity ship?
ped was accompanied by an actual fall?
ing off in the total value.
Among t'he agricultural exports tihat
show for 1S97 a decrease in quantity as
well as value, the mu't important are
canned beef, salted or packed beef,
pickled pork, hides, skins and sheep,
except in t'he case of hides anil skins
and sheep, the decline was less than a
million dollars in each. Sheep fell off
about 50 per cent.
Aside from wool and .sugar?agricul?
tural imports which showed the most
conspicuous increase?the gains of chief
Importance were those made in tea, opi?
um, rice and rice meal and cattle. Tea
importations for 1897 amounted in val?
ue to $14.835.862. as compared with $12.
704,440 for .1896; opium imports aggre?
gated $3,317.588. as against $1,418,481 in
the preceding year. The imports of rice
and rice meal amounted in value to
$3,517,160 as against $2,185.579 the pre?
ceding year, and cattle imports at $2.
589.857, as against $1.519.856 in 1S9C. A*
to coffee Imports for 1897 were larger
than for 1896. but owing to a decline of
3.5 cents per pound in average import
price, t'he total valuation was less than
the year before. The limports amounted
in value to $81,544.384.
Aigricultural products showing largely
decreased importations during 1S97 were
silk, leaf tobacco, hides, and skins and
fruits. Silk Imports decreased from
$26,768,428 in 1896 to $1S,918,383 in 1897;
leaf tobacco from $16,503.130 to $9,584.155;
hides and skins from $30.520.177 to $27,
863,026. and fruits from $16,957.307 to $14,
926,771.
I The bulletin gives a table showinc the
average export-price of agricultural
products from the United States during
each of t'he past five fiscal years and
adds:
? The general decline Win.; took place
during the live years ended June 30.
IS'.tT. has been succeeded by a deeided
upward tendency. This is particularly
noticeable in the iprices of the producta
