At ? o'clock to-night no agreement had been reached as to a verdict, and court waa adjourned over until to-morrow. Three speeenes were made in the eaa* up to the dinner hour. The first, thirty minutes in length, was made i by B. TV. Straa, Jr.. for the defense. In which he set forth the three grounda upon which fcbc- Common-1 wealth bases its demand for a verdict, In the first degree, and upon which ? theories instructions are based. The' first is upon the ground of conspiracy.: in which the contention is that the. prisoner is guilty If he was a party to' j that conspiracy, second, that if the ! prisoner was present and Intentionally' aided and abetted the perpetrators of the murd-r: and. third, if the fatal shot was intentionally flred by the prisoner, i These several ground? were discussed, and from th>- evidence it was argued , teat neither was tenable.

He paid a graceful acknowledgment to the pre? siding Judge, the court officers and the counsel for the prosecution for the courtesies shown him. He. like all the other attorneys, gave most of his Ume to a discussion of the conspiracy j theory, digressing occasionally to make ip?lnts and give Impression* oa ether phases ef the case and arguments which had been made. He stated that he would not have permitted the chil? dren of tne prisoner to come ?nto the court, but that the mother nad no one with whom she rould lease them, and that In this, the dir? tr.al of her husband, she felt it her duty ifl be with and sustain htm.

London, November 21.?The formal suspension of the Turkish-Balkan war proved only for a day. Turkey rejected the Balkan terms for an armistice ap I-arently fjefore the plenipotentiaries had time to come together at Hadem keul. Klami! Pasha, the Grand Visler, de-j clared that the allies' overture* werej ?impossible." He ordered the com-j mander-in-chlef to continue fighting "with the help of the Almighty" until reasonable and moderate conditions *-ere proposed. This decision came as an utter sur? prise, and diplomats are not wholly convinced that the Ottoman troop* will really take up arms again in the cholera stricken trenches of Tcha lalja. While the Bulgarian conditions, for Bulgaria ai acting as the mouthpiece for the allies, were extreme, stlpu : lating the surrender of Adrlapople and Scutari, both of which strong? holds are making a historic defense, as weU as the cession' of all the terrl J tory except a narrow strip above Con? stantinople, these conditions were ad i vanced as overtures; In other words, I they were apparently put forward as a I basis for negotiations. The Porte treated them as an ultl- j ! matum. and this perhaps Is the Ori? ental method of beginning negotia? tions, designed to induce the enemy further to show his hand. A Balkan diplomat in London pointed out to? night that these terms were submitted merely as an answer to Turkey's press, ing and repeated demands for an ar? mistice, and eald: "It ts practically certain that the rejection will result in a more active ajid determined resumption of hos? tilities.

The official estimate of the dead in the hurricane and tidal wave which visit? ed the western part of Jamaica, places the num-'er at more than 100 in the coast towns alone. Details, which are gradually coining in. indicate great devastation In the western section. j j Practically all lighters and coasting sloops and other small vessels around j Greenbay Island. Lucca and Savanna; La Mar foundered or were demolished, and a large proportion of the crews were drowned. Many persons living in these towns lost their Uves in the coilapse of building*. The houses of the American colony at Montego Bay' were badly damaged, but no casualties are reported. The I governor-general of Jamaica, Sir Sid? ney Oliver, reached Montego Bay to? day and found conditions so direful that he Immediately ordered the dis? patch of several hundred addition*, tents and large quantities of food supplies to Kingston. The railway lines are now working within twenty miles of Montego Bay. but the tele? graph lines are si 111 disorganised. The tidal wave at Savanna La Mar was the highest In a century. One coasting vessel was washed half a mile up the main street. Fully >o per cent of the houses were blown down by the hurricane. The two principal 1 hotels were unroofed, as were all the churches and the railway depot. The sea swept over the streets tn the lower section of the town, and tows of dwellings were piled up tn a i gigantic heap at the mouth of a gaily, j where the greatest namber of dead bodies wer? recovered. An American tourist who happened to be In that town during the hurricane said forty i bodies bad ^r-een recovered up to the j time of his departure. At Green Bay Inland, eight miles southwest of Lace*, the American said there was much wreckage ashore and afloat, but no sign of Ufe could be J discovered.
