O O Washingrton, March- 18. When the house met today. Frank 33. Lyon, of Cuba, N. T., was elected doorkeeper to succeed .the late Wi. J. Glenn. The oath was" immediately administered to Mr. Lyon by the speaker. The house then went into committee of the whole and resumed the consid eration of the river and harbor bill. "When Mr. Heplburn (Iowa), who has fought rivers and harbors bills ever since he came to congress, arose to speak there was an outburst of ap plause on iboth 'Sides of the house, r ; . "I arise to make my annual contribu tion ,to river and harbor literature with a (miscellaneous assortment of mo tions," . he began. "I recognize," he continued, "the utter futility of saying .anything against this bill. I recognized that fact years ago when the pork in tlje - barrel was only $8,000,000. How rhjanifestly impossible is it to make headway against it now that the appro priations aggregate $60,000000. At the same time I find in connection ith the declared, to bring the tmatteir within the scope of the constitution Hawley instantly protested that there was not a solitary word in the constitution needed to give the nation the right to save its life. 'Bacon retorted that the object of his amendment was to differentiate be tween crime against an individual and crime against the government. Ma son, Hall and Hoar followed, criticising Bacon's amendment and argument, and indulging in some ironical remarks at the expense of Bacon's personal ap pearance. Bacon resented these personalities and further resented the imputation contained in Mason's remarks that he defended anarchists. (Mason denied any intention of Teflecting upon Ba con's integrity, and said his remark was in criticism of the amendment. He believed the bill as it stood a good one.

Yesterday morning after the jury had taken their seats, the foreman was asked , if they Had agreed upon a ver dkjt. iHe replied that they had not and in his opinion would not be able to - arrive at a decision . Judge Jackson then directed that the following order be placed upon the re cord: "The jury in this case having been called intofcourt and having stat ed that they have not reached a ver dict, and upon further interrogation having stated to the court that they are unable to agree upon the verdict, and it further appearing that one of their number is too unwell for further deliberation," therefore a juror is with drawn, a anistrial ordered, the case con tinued and , the defendant required to give bond in the sum of $15,000 for his appearance at the next term of court.' In discharging the jury Judge Jack son : complimented them on the way they had comported themselves during the trial, assured " them that he was satisfied that no effort had b?en spared to arrive at t a verdict and thit it was no fault of theirs that they had been uname to do so- as eyery man has right to his .convictions.

"Breese will be tried again this spring," Mr. Holton said emphat ically last evening. "The case of Pen land is still on the docket, but I do not care to have him tried . until Breese's case is 'disposed of."

The man who stood out from begin ning to end for acquittal and who hung tne jury is S. S. Hooper, ex-sheriff of Graham county. It was stated that Mr. Hooper was troubled from - the start with grave doubts as to the de fendant's intent in the matter and all the arguments of the other eleven men failed to brush these doubts away. It was also said that on- Mondav Hooper was willing to join in a verdict of guilty of misapplication tout not of embezzlement or abstraction, and that the other jurors would not fl.srree to this. Had they done so this verdict would have amounted to Dracticaliv he same thing as if they had found for the other two courts.

Elizabeth City, IMarch 18.-JThe evi dence in the Wilcox trial was conclud ed today and argument was begun this afternoon. The state contended that the girl was knocked unconscious bv a blow from Wilcox and thrown into the river; that if she had decided to com mit suicide she could not have done it in water three feet deep and that Wil cox had a motive in that the girl jilted him and had ridiculed him to others, arousing his anger and stirring his re vengeful disposition. The defense claimed that the state had not shown how the girl was killed and the doctors had failed to sustain the, contention, that she- was killed by a blow.

Mr. Holton then withdrew his motions to have the Breese case transferred to Charlotte. Senator Pritchafd said, "Now Mr. Holton can't we agree on the time for the Dickerson trial?" After some discussion, Judge Jackson said, "I propose to try the Dickerson case first at Charlotte. I am going from here directly to Charleston where I will see Judge Simonton and consult with him as to the best time to hear the case." W. W. Jones then addressed the court saying, "I understand that a mo tion has been made before your honor to transfer the Penland case to Char lotte and I am here to resist that mo tion." Judge Jackson replied, "Very well, if you object it wont go except or cause.". tMr. Holton said,, "I withdraw my motion " Mr. TTones was instructed to bring his client into court, in order that he might renew his bond and the judge then vacated the bench. In national bank cases the defendants are' required to appear at each term of court and renew their bonds, so that while the case of Dickerson will be called in the next term of the Federal court at Charlotte, which will begin on the second Tuesday in June, it may not be tried at that term. Mir. Holton will, howeven, appeal to Judge Simon- ton to have it disposed of at that time. Judge Simonton also has the power of appointing the Judge who shall sit at that term.
