JURY WAS EQUALLY DIVIDED MANY SPECTATOnS PRESS FOR WARD AND 1XPRESS SYMPA THY FOR ACTRESS. rOBENAN IS CHASED BY HOB MOUNTED POLICE ARE CALLED OUT TO DISPERSE THE THRONG. New York, Dec. 25—Following a day of intense nervous strain Nan Patter son is in the Tombs ill, and, perhaps, on the verge of a breakdown, but with constant attendance. The former show girl, expecting acquittal at the hands of the jury which has listened to the evidence in her trial for the murder of Caesar Young last Jane, went into court yes terday noon to learn that the twelve men had been unable to reach an agreement, in fact, had been equally divided in tlieir judgment as to wheth er she held the revolver that ended Young's life. Jury Equally Divided. The jury stood six to six—half for acquittal and half for conviction. Al though no official announcement was made further than this, court house talk had it that of the six deciding against Nan Patterson, none was for convifition of murder in the first de gree, that one held out for murder in the second degree, two for manslaugh ter in the first degree and three for manslaughter in the second degree. Immediately the announcement of the disagreement .was made Miss Pat terson broke into a fit of weeping which continued even after she was led from the court room to a retiring chamber, where physicians were called and restoratives administered. Then she was taken to the Tombs, but she again wept and moaned and became hysterical, and the efforts of her aged father, the prison matron and attendants to quiet her were futile. Many Express Sympathy. The demonstration in the court after the announcement of the digar greement was somewhat remarkable, many pressing forward to express sympathy for the young woman. Abraham Levy, chief counsel for Miss Patterson, called on his client In the Tombs late yesterday afternoon and remained with her an hour. "The girl is in a very bad mental condition," he said, after he had left her. "She is almost constantly hys terical, but I don't think she will col lapse. I am going to make a desper ate effort to get ball for her." Interest now centers in District At torney Jerome's future action. He has not said what he will do, but It was intimated that the way the jury stood may influence him as to a new trial. The jury took but one ballot, ac cording to the foreman, and devoted the remainder of the time to discus sion. From first to last the division was even. Foreman Is Chased. The interest in the case was so in tense that the crowds which had stood outside the court building: all the morning pursued the foreman of the jury when he left the court after the final adjournment. He boarded a trol ley car but men chased the car to his business office and mounted policemen were called upon to disperse the throng. Abraham Levy issued a statement in the course of which he said: "We feel confident now that, in view of the wide publicity given to the case other witnesses will come for ward if necessary to corroborate the defendant's story in all its substantial details. We question whether the dis trict attorney will move for a third trial of this case." SEVEN BUILDINGS BURNED. Incendiaries Destroy a Business Block at Washburn, III. Peoria, 111., Dec. 25.—Fire swept one of the principal blocks of Washburn out of existence in less than an hour early yesterday morning, resulted in the death of Dr. Jesse Weaver, vet erinary surgeon, who occupied a room in August Martini's general store.

The ruffed grouse is one of the un certain birds to which no hard and fast rules will apply, says a writer in Outing, yet he has a few small pe culiarities of which advantage may be taken. In wild, heavy woodland, his original haunt, he has a weakness for two things—an old toteroad, or any seldom used road, and the bank of a Stream. A man trying a bit of woods with which he is unaccustomed probably will see more grouse neat- an old road than anywhere else, in hilly country the lower slopes of the ravines are apt to be the best ground. In level country the long strips of thicket bor dering large blocks of standing tim ber are ideal places and if the thicket happens to mark the edge of a clover field so much the better. Never pass even a small thicket which stands out in a clover field with a wood upon any side. Grouse are fond of clover and until the winter sets in are apt to be In any fair shel ter near the field. Later, in snow time, the borders and interior of large woodland swamps are the chosen, places. If there be a region of thick, low-lying forest, having clo«fr grown beech ridges here and there, these surely will repay the labor of beating them, for they are almost certain to be the strongholds of all the ruffed grouse of the neighborhood. Old windfalls and slashings are good be cause they afford acres of the sort of shelter the birds prefer in cold weather. Should a single bird flush, proceed warily and ready for instant action, for a second and perhaps three or four stragglers may be within gun shot of the spot. Ground good for one bird may be as attractive to three or four, although each individual re mains some slight distance i&om the others. When beating border thick ets with a comrac'e, I prefer to work in the cover sba-j- along the line where thicket and forest join. Most men will choose tba outside, but ruffed grouse almost invariably dash for the wood, hence across the line of fire of the inside man. Such shots are none too easy and trees have a knack cf getting in the way, yet as a general thing the inside position means the most fun. MAMMOTH CAVES IN FRANCE. Lately Explored, They Are Nuvc a Pop ular Pleasure Resort. One of the strangest holiday re sorts, and one of the most interesting, is that recently made accessible to the public at Padirac, in the department of Lot, France. There a wonderful series of caverns, containing magnifi cent stalactites and a subterranean lake and river, has yielded its secrets to the adventurous explorer, and the dangers of the visit have now been in geniously reduced, so that the average sightseer may traverse these "autres vast" with ease and safety. For ages the caves remained abso lutely unexplored, but by the enter prise of M. Martell a barrister, they have been thoroughly examined and described, and by means of iron stair ways and galleries have, been ren dered accessible. One vast craterlike opening is 800 feet in circumference, and when M. Martel made his first visit to the depths he had to descend on a board attached to two ropes after the manner of a swing. He went down 300 feet, and, with several companions, began an extraordinary series of discoveries. The chiei of these is an underground river, wtuch he navigated in a collapsible boat. Explanation. A captain in the regular army made a gallant reputation during the late war, but at home he resigns command. He was at home for a few weeks awaiting orders, and his linen was consigned to his wife's bureau, usual ly occupied by her own things solely, but at this time jointly. The captain is not a patient man, and when he wanted a clean shirt and went to the bureau for it he formed a plan of pull ing the drawers out, tipping them over on the floor till he got what he was I searching for. Of course, his wife re monstrated, and then there were some "scenes." One warm, clear day when we were I all sitting on the piazza, the wife read the heading in a uewspaper: I "Trouble In the President's Bureau." "Well," said she, "I wonder what that means?" "Oh, replied the captain, "I suppose the president wants a clean shirt." At Half-Past Nine P. M. At half-past Nine P.

Before the Academy of Sciences, Paris, M. Boudouln gave clear evi- dence of differences in physical and chemical composition between graft ed and nongrafted grapes which he had obtained, and the facts observed ex plain the more rapid aging of wines from grafted vines, and also their greater sensitiveness to pathogenic ferments. JAP FLEET IS READY TO PIQMT. Entire Armada May Be Sent to Meat Russians. London, Dec. 25—Telegraphing from Tokio, the correspondent of the Dally Express says he learns that in the event of Admiral Kamlmura, who is reported to have gone south with a squadron of powerful cruisers, should encounter the second Pacific squad ron, the whole Japanese fleet which has been operating against Port Ar thur will be ready to proceed south on a day's notice to give battle. The Times correspondent at Pekin reports that the Chinese have seized near Pekin' 3,000,000 rounds of Rus sian rifle ammunition, evidently de signed for Port Arthur. The ammuni tion was concealed in, bales of wool. Russian Guns Move Ahead. Mukden, Dec. 25.

San Francisco, Dec. 25.—When the steamer Mongoli sails from this port next Tuesday she will carry 18,000 tons of cargo, 15,000 tons of which will be consigned to Japan. Most of this freight for Japan consists of materials designated as contraband by the Rus sian government.

The steamer Ellerick will also carry 4,500 tons of overland freight for Yokohama. BREEDS LIVE FREAKS. Brings About Relationships Once Con sidered Utterly Impossible. Berkeley, Cal., Dec. 25.—Dr. Jacques Loeb, head of the department of phys iology of the University of California, has just published the results of fur ther experiments on "heterogeneous hybridization" in echinoderms. Where once it was deemed possible to bring about the fertilization of eggs of one species with the sperm of the same species, Dr. Loeb has in his original experiments been able to cross the various species of the same family, and now, as the latest biological mar vel, he has been able to hybridize the individuals of different zoological fam ilies, bringing about relationships and breeds that were once considered ut terly impossible from a scientific standpoint.
