The Jury remaining mt less than three hours this afternoon re? turned a verdict of not guilty, end? ing one of the most sensational cases in th* history of this county. The jury returned at 4:15 o'clock, and brought In Its verdict at 5:50 o'clock. Sellers remained In the court room during the entire day, and did not appear very nervous while the Jury was out. The verdict of the Jury was no surprise, as nearly every one who kept up with the case expected Sellers to be acquitted, especially after the search warrant with which Farmer was armed when killed had beon de? clared Invalid. In fact, the case seem? ed to hinge on this point. The trial was begun Tuesday morning occupy ing nearly three days of the court';' session.

AiiU-Aldrlch Members Intend to Hold the Floor. Washington, June 3.?The antl Aldrlch members of the senate, the "Insurgents"?believe they have won a signal victory over their adversaries and that they will now accomplish practically everything they set about In the early days of the extra session, so far as the making of the new tariff bill is concerned. This feeling has been brought about entirely In consequence of a ruling of the president of the senate yesterday regarding ths order of business that shall be followed in the senate. When the usual suggestion of an ebfence of quorum was made, It was contended that when a senator bad the floor and on?il he yielded for the distinct pur? pose of allowing some o'Vr mrnnbtr to make the suggestion of m> quorum, there was no way by which he could ordinarily be taken off h<s feet, and that even If th'jre was no one pres? ent in ?H? b*rl the member ?

In uthei word^ that when a senator has (he floor he gtiay hold it * Ith eve v oth'1 at nomo ani asleep in bed. until he yields for the purpose of allowing a point of no quorum to te made. That Is Just the thing the "Insur? gent!*" have been looking for all the tfme. some opportunity to get the floor and hold It Indefinitely until they force the Aldrich forces to recognise their demands for lower duties. Immediately after this ruling was made yesterday Its effect became no? ticeable. All the senators, with the exception of possibly half a dozen, left the chamber entirely and went home or lounged in the cloak rooms. But most of them left the capltoland made the best of a hot and uncom? fortable day. It Is freely predicted that the "in? surgents" will now take every pdssl ble advantage of this ruling; tha* they will get the floor and keep It until they force the Aldrich forces to capitulate. In the insurgent camp there are twenty or more long-wind? ed, all-day speakers, some of whom In fact mfpht hold out cons derablV lonnor If called upon to do so. "Fili? bustering" has already com.nenced, and there seems to be no way to head It off unless the committee on rules, finding that the decision on th's ques? tion would lie likely to Interfere with their plans, would bring in a special rule, In that event it would be a rO? \. i s;vl of the ruling of the chair, v. hlch would hardly be done.

ALDRIGH UND STOKE ANGRY. | FORMER'S REFERENCE TO GER? MAN V CAVSES Sil VHP COL? LOQUY, Missouri Senator Charges Rhode Inlander With Delivering Affront to German Government, and Lat? ter Charge* Former With Heins? a Representative of Germany?Ald - rich Claims no Insult was Meant. Washington, June 3.?Senator Aid rich's recent characterization of the course any Government which might send to this country as anonymous statement concerning prices in the foreign country with a view to inliuenclng legislation was made the subject of an acrimonious colloquy in the senate today between Mr. Aldrich and Senator Stone. The previous re? mark of Mr. Aldrich was based upon the fact that in response to a request from our State department, the Ger? man authorities forwarded to this government statements of manufac? turers concerning the rate of wages in Germany with a request that the names of the manufacturers be not used. Senator Stone brought up the ques? tion r'y reading a cablegram from Berlin, in which it was said that the a German Government had taken of? fense at Mr. Aldrlch's language, be? cause of the important position he oc? cupies in his party and in Congress. Reading from Mr. Aldrich's original remarks, Mr. Stone said: , "When the Senator from Rhode Island made that somewhat petulant and exordinary declaration, every one here took notice and I think every one regarded his utterance as im? politic if not impolite." Mr. Aldrich responded that he had made no charge against the German Government,,but had been talking of German manufacturers. Hot colloquies followed as to whether the reference had been to Germany. Mr. Stone, still main? taining, despite Mr. Aldrlch's denial, that it was that government which was meant. Mr. Stone said that he had gained the impression that Mr. Aldrich had given a deliberate affront to a friend? ly Power. Mr. Aldrich said that he had been at a loss to account for Mr. Stone's in? terest in the matter, unless he ap? peared as a representative of Ger? many. This Intimation made Mr. Stone mad. "That statement," he said, "Is an Impertinence; yes, It is worse than an impertinence. I am an American, and I represent American interest on this floor as much as does the Senator from Rhode Island, and I resent the effort to place a stigma upon me. f repeat that his expression is an im? pertinence, a gross Impertinence." Mr. Aldrich subsequently paid a compliment to the German Emperor and government, reaffirming that he had intended no affront to either. He said that his crltclsm was directed to? wards the effort to use the informa? tion from Germany to influence Vmerican legislation. Senator Depew spoke in depreca? tion of the entire incident, saying that it was absurd to think that the Ger? man government had In reality given serious consideration to the matter. Senator Tillman suggested that the abstract of statements from Germany should bo published at once, which v.as ggTMd to by Mr. Aldrich and or? dered by the senate. Mr. Tillman said: "Because these statements by Ger? man manufacturers did not conform to the ideas of the American manu? facturers, the Anator from Rhode Is? land got unhappy over it." Fifteen years age Robert McFar lane left bis home of East Penn T.-unship. Pa., and as his family did not hear from him he was believed tO 1 ? dead, in fact, his wife, after waiting several years, began court proceedings which resulted in his be? ing declared legally dead. This, how? ever, proves to have been a legal fic? tion, for on Sunday McFarlane, very much alive, appeared at his father's old home. An ardent advocate of equal suf? frage, the late Charles C.

(Harris Dickson in Hampton's Maga? zine.) Competition in labor is less keen in the South than in the North. Negroes as skilled mechanics are not sulH ciently numerous in the South to get in the white man's way. If they in? terfere with the white man's bread the feeling might be different. It is not believed that skilled labor Is in? creasing among the negroes. Man? ual training schools may report as increase of students and graduates, bur almost any Southern contractor will say that they do not enter very conspiciously into his calculation. He loks to the white man for his skill? ed labor. Before the war, practically every negro was a trained man; he was a farmer of cotton, sugar or tobacco; he could make a shoe, forge a nail, or build a fence. His master had taught him some particular thing The negro had some training In al? most every simple branch of indus? try. Some were good farriers, car? penters, blacksmiths, tinners, brick? layers or stone masons. In those days the best work of the South was done by the negroes. Plantation dis? cipline could place the black boy un? der control of the black bricklayer and hold him to his apprenticeship. Nowadays no negro boy In the towns will submit to the regular re? gimen and steady work of a long apprenticeship. .He came to town to escape work. When young George Washington Johnsings turns loose the plow and struggles away from the plantation, he's not hunting for a trade. His sys? tem doesn't hanker after a confining occupation. The delicate constitution of Wash Johnsing craves short hours and long rests?with a swagger and a dash of sport on the side. He loves to sit in the shade and superintend the tolling masses. What's the use o' workln* when blackberries will soon be ripe. He wants to be pass-picker at the crap game, preacher at the protracted meeting, or a jack-leg lawyer loafing around the Justice ccurts. For a nice, clean, easy Job Wash would prefer to be a bishop. Says an old negro bricklayer, an Intelligent old antebellum mechanic: "When us ole men is dead dey won't be no nigger masons no mo'. Dees here boys won't work; dey wants ter gamble an* loaf around' de saloons. De 'prentice what I got now is a young white boy; his pa put him wid nie 'cause he knowed I'd learn 'irri 'is trade. We gits along fine. He does everything I tell im?dat sho' Is on>; smart boy. I couldn't git no cullud boy ter work wid me." This is a town of twenty-five thousand people and half of them negroes! true streets and jail are crowded, with negro va? grants. The same is true of other trades. A self respecting white fath? er places is son with a negro me? chanic for training?yet the white apprentice and the negro master thoroughly understand their respec? tive social relations. Prof. David, of Sydney University, who accompanied Lieut. Shackleton on his Antartic expedition, suggests that Australasia shall establish a per? manent weather observatory in the Antartic and connect the observatory with Australia with wireless telegra? phy. * It's easy to talk philosophically if the other fellow is paying the freight.
