The public will hardly know until it reads these lines how near both sides came to being sauisfied with a jury this afternoon. When thestate waived itssecond peremptory challenge shortly beforo 4 o’clock thore was & hurried consultation among the attorneys for the defense. The question ns to the ee ceptance of the jury as it stood was seriously discussed and was almost so decided. It will occasion no surprise if the jurvis ac ceptoa betore either side have exhausted their peremprory chalicnees, As soon as the jury is secu the statement of the case will be mado by Attoruey Suell. He will be followed by Attorncy Abbott, who will pre- scut the Line of the defense. Mus, Irvine will not boa witness unless summoned by the prosceution. Proceedings of the Day.

Itis asserted that he filled all the highest posts under his control with Jewish jucges, and that it 1t nad been possi- ble he would bave appointed Jewist lawyers to the posts of publio prosccutors. This, however, it1s not in his power to do, as none but Christians can hold these oftlces, Hated by the Anti-Semites, This has brought him into confiict with the anti-semitic party. The famous triul at Cleves for the killng ot a Catholie child av Xunten also drow down upen him the hatred of the center and extreme right, and dopu- ties of thoso parties accuso him of hav- mg wrought a perversiom of crim- inal justico in tiat case. Depaties Stoecker, Kraemer, Fritzea and others have attacked him several tumes in the Diet and 1t appeared s if bis fall was determined upon, when Caprivi took him under his pro. conll tection by muintamning mm as keeper of seals. The antisemitio newspapers then commenced an attack on nhim and publisted a quantity of incred- lo details of his past Nfe in Lechingen, where he held the vost of public prosecutor, not only charging him with crimes committed by himseif and by n bers of his family, but also of intimacy with a well known member of the demi- monde. All this was backed up by the names of numerous witnesses, who ure said to bo able to confirm the charges. Herr Cheries PPanseh, the well known German political writer, publishea all theso accusations in the form of pamphlets and inunduted - pariameat und the governiuent offices with them. Prosccutions Postponed. Baron Senelling at first demandel that Paasch and others who are making these charges agaiost Wim should be pumshed. He has, however, withdrawn the complaiuts. Some say ho was afraid the charges could be proved, while others say @ compromise was made. This crisis intensified by the Over- winder suit, an appendice of the Cleves trial, It was to have been heard on Saturday last in Berlin and numerous witnesses arrived here from Nanten, Cleves, Crefeld and other ;laces, to prove that the minister and judges at Cleves had come to an under- band understanding with the rabbis. O arriving here the witnesses were informed that the case had been adjourned. ‘ihe rea son given for the adjournment is that tne judges were too fatigued by the lLoews trial to undertake, without a vesting spell, another cause celebre. This nas caused an immense sensation, and the liberal press strongly protest, claiming the government's position is unteunble, and thut a fall wil certainly take place before the opening of pariiament.
