Johnson was a free mari, and io the sight of the law, innocent of murder in the killing of W T Bel? linger last April Up to 1 30 o'clock this morning it appeared that the jury could not agree, and it was thought that the court would have to order a mistrial This expectation wa3 entertained generally, and it was the opinion of many during the progress of the trial Mr Johnson sat in tbe court room until midnight, surrounded by group of bis friends, awaiting the jury's decision. He then retired to the jail ior rest At 5 o'clock the bailiffs were awakened and told that a verdict had been agreed on Mes se.o ge rs were at once dispatched for Judge Watt, the court officers and the prisoner On account of the early hour bot few knew of this, and only a small crowd assembled Johnson appeared, and from bis calm demeanor, one would never have suspected that he was the man who was to be toid on this beautiful Sabbath morning whether he was to suffer the penalty for a crime or whether he was to be returned to bis family a free man.

New York, December 9-Wu Tieg Fang, the Chinese minister to the United States, spoke before the Society 'or Ethical Culture at Came gie Music Hall, this morning on "The Teachings of Confucius." Air. Wu said in part : "In the strictest sense of tbe word Confucianism is not a religion. It is not a system ol doctrine and worship It ia perhaps easier to say what Con? fucianism is noe than what it is "The immortality of the soul is a beautiful doctrine, I admit I wish it were true, and I bope it is true Hut ali the reasoning of Plato cannot make it more than a strong pro? bability And all tbe light of modern science bas not brought ns one step further. Now, Confucius would be called an Agnostic if be were alive today. There were four things that be would not talk about-extraordi nary things, feats of strength, dis? order and spiritual being. 'How are we to serve spiritual beings V he was asked. 'Whenyou do not know bow to serve men bow should you hope to serve spirits V\ he replied. Horace Greeley said that those who die charge promptly and faithfully their duty to those who linger in the flesh, have but little time to peer into the affairs of those who have passed away Confucius was intensely hu? man and practical. He did not spend time speculating as to what will happen after death." The minister then compared the practical teachings of Confucius with those of Christ He read a passage from the New Testament, directing that eyil be not resisted with evil, and that if a man smite you on one cheek you should turn the other cheek Of this doctrine Mr Wu said : "This, it set ms to me, is meekness with a vengeance I am inclined to think that no sensible man has ever followed this injunction faithfully. A man who will smite you on tbe i cheek is a dange:0i:s man and needs no second invitation A m*n wfco ?vii! take your coat is a thief, and would doubtless take your cloak, too, if he could lay his hands on it v "Love your enemies. Such a standard of excellence is too high for humanity There is no likeli riood that many people will follow it At ?bis very moment Christian mia* airarles are calling 'for bloodshed and v.-i;.geance, and Christian armies are devastating the land, sparing ueiiher age nor sex Tnere is in I deed a vast gulf between doctrine j aad performance Could you 'ove j one who had killed your falber or J desirovrc! your borne ? Confucian- i ism does not requre snch a thing lt enjoins that kindness bo r?qui;ed with kindness, ar.d an injury with ?us?ice It does not sanci?n retalia rion ia a vindictive spirit, such as, I regret Jo say. is shown by some persons professing to be governed by the tenets of Christianity. "The most etriking instance in which the teachings of Confucius and ci Christ meet is of tbe Golden Rule Confucius put it negatively, to be sure- Do not do to ethers what you would not wish them to do to you' but anyone who will follow that rule, either way phrased, will be a thor? oughly good man "A.good Christian is a good Con fucian, and a good Confucian is a good Christian I do not believe that Heaven is an exclusive place Tbe advocates of various religions are trying to make a private paik of it for their own adherents Whatever Heaven may be, I believe it is a place for ail good men, irrespective of dogma The Chinese are an eminen?ly practical race Confucius did not run away from the world, but did his duty in it. He teaches mon to do good for the sake cf good and not for any promise of regard, or j through any throat of cunisbment. The world is gradually coming to i Confucius One of the signs is the ! growth of Agnosticism I will not ?:>y whether people are 'growing more callous or more civilized, but they are no more terrified when the terrors of the next worid are pro? claimed from tb* pulpit " Pad is Unborn Lambs' Wool.

Archbishop Ireland Argues for the Entire Independ? ence of the Church Washington, Dec 9.-Archbishop Irc'aad, ia a serman preached at St Patrick's Church, io thia city, today? revir? el the question of the iodepecd eoce of the Pope, prophesied that ac oo remote dny "tue Italian pecpie and Christendom at large would give back to the Papacy its wonted dignity and liberty.'' The discussion of what is known as the Roman question was especially significant, as the Brehbi.-hop during the Archbishop daring the latter'? recent visit to Rome talked st length with the Pope. The Archbishop re ferred to the Pope as a prisoner io tba Vatican, voluntarily io that no physical foroe prevents bis leaving its precincts, and involuntarily io that he could COE go beyond the Vatican without impair? ing bis dignity as Pontiff, and without seeming to accept that situation created for bim by the entrance into Romer of the troops of the Italian Government, fie said thc Catholic Charon is *'? divinely created organism, receiving % directly from Christ its mission and ail the rights which are needed, that it may live ?Dd work; its life acd mission are expressed io its supreme chief, the sooessor of Peter, and co bim belong io a pre-eminent manner all the rights inherent io the Church, and where possessioo is needed for fulfilment of its mission and work will? ed by Christ; henoe the Pontiffs'" right to independence and, as % conse? quence, sovereignty ,f The Archbishop said : "If the Pope is a civil subject of ao authority outside of bimsalf be bas not the necessary freedom ; the ruler of Government would interfere, make laws impairing bis freedom of action or strive to impose methods mere serviceable to the State than the Church The Pon? tiff's words must bear no possible ' suspicion that they were imposed by men who have no authority in things moral and spiri'oai If the sovereign Pontiff bc the subject of the King cf Italy what guarantee is :bere for other rulers that, whether ihrcugb fear of ravor, Ita??30 inSucCcr-s bave cot cene trateo into the Vatican, and that Italian ioierests are not to bc served ? The psrii of national jealoosies would be the greater were the foreign countries at the tims warrion wi'h he Kiog of Italy We io America are wining indeed, to hearken to the words of Peter, but it mast be piain that they ar? cot the words of a foreign ruler, whose sole parp?le h thc ioteuest of a foreign nationality, not of the {'burch the sole effeectve ??0.'?ractee of independ? ence f;;r thc Pectic is temporal sover ?igo:y, which ti arks cut for bia suffi? cient tpaee cc earth apea which bc 33y wcik tu fulfilment of bis mission with ail th? independence he needs. The dependence cf a bishop upon thc ruler severs bija from union with Christaios in other countries, reduces his Church to the condition of the universal Church.
