Special Dispatches to Tin B, SHARP CRITICISM OF THE BRITISH CAM- PAIGN Loxnox, September 10,—-The news- paper reading public here begin to be waty of the mtlated reports from the seat of war, which occupy whole pages every day, und have no more story to tell, after all, than Oan-| ning’s needy knife grinder, From | Sir Garnet Wolseley downward everybody in Egypt uses the most | stiltad language about ridiculous eaffairs” and ‘‘actions,” in which‘ perhaps one man is wounded on each side, or it may bo only a horso, | Mesnwhile continental military critics | are beginning to point out numerous blunders committed in the manage- ment of the campaign, Especially are thoy severe upon the Euglish for | allowing Arabi time to construct his | earthworks and rouse the country to | oppose England, and they are unani- mous in declaring that a few hundred men landed immediately after the bombardment of Alexandria would have sufficed to crush the Egyptian national leader. Garnet Wolseley's complex strategy 18 CONTRASTED VERY UNFAVORABLY | with Sir Frederick Roberts' rapid movements in Afghanistan, German military authorities, whose ability can- not be questioned, say contemptiously that Sir Garnet’s tactics and inflated dispatches remind them of the move- meuts of a burlesque army in a comic opera. After a long accountin The Times of *“remendous canuonading | lasting all day,” the result as reported | by the Thunderer's correspondent was | SIX EGYPTIANS KILLED, It is really becoming very difficult to treat theee dispatches, which might have been written by Bombastes | Furioso, with any seriousness, Mean- | while there are reports published, ap- | arently on official authority, that | fngur reinforcements are to be dis. patched to Egypt, although, as T have | | for sale. | [ offensive. already told your readers, there are over 40,000 men under command of | Wolseley, who can at least | claim to have been intrusted with | more powerful armies than were fur- | nished to the Duke of Wellington, if | he is not making as much use of them. | 1t is also rumored with some persist- | ency that Turkey has offered to trans- | fer Egypt to England upon the same | terms s Cyprus, At present Glad- stone's CONSCIENTIOUS SCRUPLES prevent Lim from accepting the offer, if, indeed, such offer has been serious- ly made, But it would be by no means safe to lay long odda of a great smount that the premier's ecruples will not vanish as they have often | vanished before, when it begins to be seen that England exercises tempo- rary protection, which 1s most likely | to become permanent. | THE MILITARY CONVENTION, ConsTaNTINOFLE, September 10,— lves, if St Joseph is not yolir Best John S.

WAITING FOR THE VERDICT. ‘WasniNeToN, September 10.—The jury in’the star route cases camo into court at 11 a. m., but being unpre- | pared to render o verdict, were again locked up, and, according to common law, will be without Jight, fire or any comforts of civilized society until a verdict is reached. The court took a further recess until 2 p, m. ENES IN COURT, Although to-day is Friday according to court record, yet tho true character of the day was indicated by u well dreased and large crowd that fitled the court long beforo the oponit With the exception of J. W. Dor- sey all the defendants were present. Promptly at 10 o'clock the court was called to order, In answer to Judge Wylie the deputy marshal said the jury was not ready to come in, and the court remarked he presumed tho jury had overslept themselves, At twolve minutes past ten the jury on- tered, looking rather fatigued. In answer to the usual questions the foreman answered: ‘‘I am not as yot directed by the jury to make a re- port,” The court: “You have not agreed apon a verdict?” Foreman Dickson: ‘“Partially,” Court: *‘I do not know but that I shall have to administer common law inits purity. At common law the jury was locked up and kept together without light, fire or any of the com- forts of civilized society, and no kept until their verdict was reached, I will consider about this, but will not adopt that course to-day. Foreman Dickscn: “It might be proper to stato we are no nearer con- clusion then when our lus: report was made " The Court: “Then, gentiemen, the time has come to enforce common law. Marshal, you will take the jury to their own room and detain them as other juries are detained.” The jury then filed out of the room aud the court took a recess until 2 o'clock, At that hour the usual audience was assembled. It included one lady, who sat by the side of J, W. Dorsey. 8. W. Dorsey was present for the first time since the retirement of the jury, but left the room before the court was called to order. other defendants were in the room excopt Brady, who remained in the corridor. The deputy marshal, by direction of the court, visited the jury and soon made a report that the jury stated that if the court had any- thing to say THEY WOULD COME DOWN, otherwise they would not. The court had nothing to say to them and an- nounced a recess until 10 a, wm, Mon- day. THE VENOM OF THE THIEVES, Since the remarks of Judge Wylie, yesterday, there appears to have been @ systematic attempt to create the im pression that the prosecution has been the guilty party, and it is suspected some one representing himaself as an official of the department of i istice, has wmade iwproper overturs to S All the | Send orders by iven to orders, a emember % several of the jurors. The fact re- mains, however, that he was not an official, and that his conduct was but the part of & scheme of one of the de- fondants to croato foeling against the government prosocution. It is alleg d that certain parties have been brought here by the government from New that whenever he took a walk on an evening during the summer his steps were constantly dogged by somebody, and that suepicious looking men would ever now and thon eross his path and keep crack of his movements, Con- ceraing employment of trusted wen to report to the government offic whatever was regarded as worth porting, this is not denied. To- ! The gov- ernmen. in turn has been as vigantly watched. It may be an interestin chapter to hear how narrowly one ol the governmont, he was shadowed, an | thereafter kopt under constant ~ sur- veillance by the other defendants and his intontion thwarted, THE CONVICTS, In answer to a question from a rep- resontativoe of the associated press, touching the present status of the jury, one of the prosecution oflicors stated it was his opinion that the jury were unanimous as to th Rerdell, Minor, and Vaile perhaps. Hosaid they enferiained some doubt where the remaining defendants wore concerned, THE JURY FIXERS There aro reports curront to-night which, if true, show conclusively, that Hjury fixers” are in communication with thoe fixed jurors in the star route case. No soo) had eourt adjourned Iust night than a report was cireulated that the jury had wgreed to & verdict of not guilty in the case of ex-Senator Doraoy and his brother, John W, Dorsey. It was also said Ingersoll knew this to be true and that was his reason for esking the jury to report as to a verdict of not guilty in favor of any of the defendants, The final re- port of the jury will show whether these reports are true or not, if they prove to be true THERE MAY BE SOME REVELATION a8 to tho signals passing from the window of the jury room to parties outside. From one of the windows overlooking the publie piazza in front of the couit house a juror msy be communicated with unobserved from any locali Members of the jury have repeatedly goro to the window to-day, and tho code of signals agreed upon of course would only be known to the parties interested. There are other reports to the effcct that the jury stands nine for convie- tion” and three for acquittal in the oase of Brady, Miner, Rerdell and Vaile, A NOTALLE EVENT, A gentloman who has a turn for looking up such matters, remarked to- night 1f Brady is convieted 1t will be the first instance in the history of the government that a prominent official in any of its branches has ever been convicted of conspiracy against the government, The interest grows more wntense as the time goes by, and to- night nothing else 18 talkel of or thought of. In couversation with a correspondent MERRICK SAID, ““The fact that the foreman of the jury declared that while he was not authorized to make a report, the jury had nevertholess agreed as to some of the defeudants, leads me to these con clusions: first, conspiracy hae, in the minds of the jury, been proven; se ond, it was Lot double conspiracy; and, third, an overt act has been proven.' *“Why 80" asked the correspondent. “‘Because,” was tho reply, “aequit- tal of the defendant on technical grounds would inevitably demand the acquittal of all. The verdict would York and Philadelphia to look after the jurors and the de- fendants and their counsel. One ! of the latter said ho recalled the defendants came to turning states evidence, and how, when it was sus- pocted he was making overtures to extensive lines of samples, visit | call upon any merchant any- mail, or write nd satisfac- ! have been rendered before this time, Inmy opinion,” Mr. Merrick con- tinued “‘the jury has been already led by the testimony before it to the con- clusion that Brady, Vaile, Miner, and Rerdoll aro guilty.” “How as to the other defendants,” ashed the correspondent. ‘“‘Well as to that,” he replied, “T beliove it is an open question as to the Dorsey’s, and in my opinion that is where the jury now haug.” Merrick ulso said that there is no longer any doubt of the verdict. The “hang jury” fear is not now enter- tained by ‘the prosecution, and it is belleved that in directing the jury to come into court Sunday the judge un- conaciously expressed a belief that a verdict will be forthcoming to-morrow. It is belioved that the long delay has been caused by the examination of their notes by the jurors and not by any wide difterence among them. Blies was present during the inter- view and concurred in the opinion with Merrick. Expenses of the Trial. WasdINGTON, September 0.—Pay~ ments already made on account of the exponses in the prosecution of the star route cases are as follows: B, H, Browster, for services and expenses bofore his appointment as attorney general, $5,000; Cook, $6,700; Bliss, $0,257; Korr, £6,627; Merrick,5,000; A.
