New York, Dec. 22. —The jury in the Nan Patterson case was locked up at 11:26 o'clock to-night, not having reached a verdict. At 11 o'clock the announcement came from the jury room that no decision had been ar rived at, and immediately following came a statement that Judge Davis would give the jury another half hour before locking them up. The hope of a verdict was dispelled, however, when a few minutes before 11:10 Capt. Lynch of the court squad said that "It was all off,’’ and the jury would be locked up for the bight. Nun Almost Collapsed. Nan Patterson heard the news in the "pen,” and it was so unexpected to her that she came near to collapse. It was understood that the jury would continue consideration of the case in the small jury room containing only a few tables and chairs, and the jurors will have no opportunity to sleep unless they can nap in the small chairs. As soon as the jury was locked up for the night Nan Patterson Hade her, father a tearful farewell .and was es corted from the “pen” in the court building to her cell in the Tombs. The girl, who showed such courage through the long trial, is almost a nervous wreck. The great strength she former ly evidenced has failed and she re peatedly exclaimed, "Oh, how can those men doubt my word?" Report lit llbllO Thi* Morning. There will bo no opportunity of hear ing from the jury again until 10:30 o'clock to-morrow morning, the hour fixed by the couirt for a report from the twelve men who are to decide the fatf of the chorus girl. Immediately after the announce ment that the jury was locked up for the night, officers cleared the corridors of the court building of scores of newspaper men and attorneys who had anxiously awaited news from the Jury. Murmurs of disappointment were heard from the crowd, which seemed con vinced that the Jury would never reach a decision. Three Against Nine. The latest rumor fjom the Jury room was that three men were hold ing out against nine, who desired to hcqult the defendant. It was reported that the three jurors were at odds as to the seriousness of the crime. One juror Is said to be holding out for conviction for murder In the second degree, and two others are reported to favor manslaughter In the second degree, fine rumor was so definite that It named a Juror who had asked If he might fire the revolver as the man who is holding out for the conviction nf Miss Put tenon of murder In the second degree. *• Sprat an Alilusi Time.

NAN PATTERSON and had even packed her belongings and left them in a cell which has been her home for several months, but evening came and the jury went to dinner and returned to its deliberations with no sign of what the verdict would be. The suspense of the early days of the trial, when Prosecutor Rand put witness after witness on the stand to complete a chain of circumstantial evidence against her, returned, al though outwardly Nan Patterson seem ed to maintain the same quiet demean or that has characterized her from the beginning. Humors from the Jury Room. As the afternoon passed into even ing, various rumors were spread about the criminal courts building as to do ings in the jury room. “The jury stands ten to two for ac quittal," was one of these reports. “One man is holding out,” was an other. Some had the hardihood to name the juror upon whoso refusal to acquit hangs so much for the former actress. The fact that one of the jurors, aft er the charge of Judge Davis to-day had asked that he might take the re volver with which Young was killed to the Jury room, gave rise to stories that the jurymen were spending much time in experiments. But all these rumors were but idle talk, apparently, for not an authentic hint reached the crowds congregated in and about the crim inal courts building as to what was actually taking place. Frond Awaited the Verdict. The great interest which the trial of Nan Patterson has attracted was never evidenced in a more pronounced way than this afternoon and evening. Excluded from the corridors of the court building, several scores of per sons stood outside the main entrance in the slush and snow and cold to night, waiting for. word that the jury had at last agreed. In the corridors of the building near Judge Davis’ court were a hundred newspaper men and women, keeping a constant vigil and picking up here and there scraps of information which filt ered from no one knew where, con cerning jury, defendant and attorneys. During the evening the lawyers in terested on either side of the case called at the building but did not re main. having made arrangements to be called in case an agreement was reached. Nan Saw a Marriiate Performed. Nan Patterson, after the Jury retired this noon, spent the afternoon and ev ening between her cell in the Tombs and what is known as the “pen” on the third fioor of the court building. Most of the afternoon was spent in the Tombs. As she was led from the court after the jury retired she witnessed a marriage ceremony between two pris oners and congratulated them. For a moment her face brightened as though she had forgotten her own troubles, but soon after resumed its look of sad calm. While she was in the Tombs this aft ernoon she opened numerous telegrams and letters from relatives and friends, congratulating her upon her defense, and expressing the hope and wish that her freedom was near at hand. One of the messages was from her mother, who has not been able to attend the trial. It said she hoped to have her daughter home for Christmas. An n Expected nn Early Verdict. This evening after her dinner she was taken to the “pen," where she was joined by her father, who has been constant In his support of nis daughter since she was first accused of the cr’inc and who has been her faithful ally and companion every day in court. No one else saw the woman during the evening and the fact that she was taken from the Jail to the court in dicated that she still expected a ver dict, notwithstanding that the Jury had consumed hours in discussion without reaching a finding. One of her counsel was about the building this evening, but did not see his client. The abiding faith of the young woman was shown shortly after 6 o'clock to-night when she expressed the opinion that the jury would acquit her. • "1 almost feel sure I will leave here to-uigbt foi Ihe Jury, I think, will not stay out all night."

St. Petersburg, Dee. 22. —The an nouncement that four Japanese cruis ers and twelve torpedo boats are pro ceeding west from Singapore is re ceived here with much interest. It is not believed, however, that such a small squadron can have been sent out by Japan with any idea of engaging in offensive operations, but it is re garded as more probable that it is the purpose of this squadron to keep a surveillance over the two detachments of the Russian fleet, which are expect ed to soon united in the neighborhood of Madagascar It is generally believed that Vice Ad miral Rojestvensky intends to estab lish a naval coaling base on some small island between Madagascar and the Philippines, and that the Japanese cruising squadron hopes to mark down the rendezvous for Vice Admiral To go’s information. The hope is expressed that Admiral Rojestvensky will be able to catch up with the Japanese scoutships, which it is believed he could easily destroy, thereby weakening the Japanese in the final naval engagement. TOGO REPORTS UPON ATTACKS UPON SHIPS. Russians Busy Trying <> I’ump One tlie Srvnstopnl. Tokio, Dec. 22, evening-.—A report received from Vice Admiral Togo at 10 o’clock last night says: “A prisoner taken by our fleet, who is considered to be reliable, reports that as the result of our attack since Dec. 13, eight torpedoes struck the net of the battleship Sevastopol and that at least one took effect on her hull. This seems to have occurred on the night of Dec. 15, or early on the morning of Dec. 16. The Sevastopol’s crew was seen to be in a state of con fusion and a hawser from the shore was attached to the battleship. ‘‘The torpedo which struck the hull of the Sevastopol took effect on the port side, damaging about eight feet along the rivet lines. “The Sevastopol is now headed to ward the outer part of the entrance to the harbor, with her stern aground and her gun ports amidships almqst awash. "The ship is listing to starboard and the side lights in her lower deck are submerged. “There is one torpedo boat to the starboard of the Sevastopol and one pumping vessel to port, together with one vessel, resembling a mine layer, all of which are busily engaged in pumping, but it will be difficult to re store the seaworthiness of the war ship. “On the night of Dec. 16 one of our torpedoes struck the bow of a Rus sian torpedo boat destroyer, and that vessel is now aground.’’ Another report from Admiral Togo, received at 11 o’clock last night, is as follows: “After personal observation outside Port Arthur, I found that the Sevas topol, which was attacked by our tor pedo flotillas, is now anchored in the shallows about 400 yards from the shore of Chentao mountain. The Rus sians are engaged in pumping, but the Sevastopol is listing at least ten de grees, with her bow slightly sunk. There can be no hope of restoring the vessel to fighting trim, considering the present condition of Port Arthur, and I Judge she has been completely disabled. I also observed that the en emy’s destroyer, which was torpedoed by us, has been destroyed.” JAPS ARE SUFFERING FROM SEVERE WEATHER. Mukden, Dec. 22.—There was more artillery firing from Poutiloff hill on Dec. 21, which resulted in dispersing a party of Japanese who were trying to entrench in front of that position.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 22. —Emperor Nicholas formally notified the country to-day that the agitation for a con stitution and the convocation of a na tional assembly is useless. Such Is the construction placed upon the indorsement written in his own hand on the resolutions telegraphed by the Chernigov Zemstvol Dec. 20, beg ging him in the most loyal rrtanner to convoke legally elected members of the Zemstvos to present a programme of re forms for his consideration. The Emperor wrote on the dispatch: “I consider the action of the president to be presumptlous and tactless. Ques tions of state administration are of no concern to the Zemstvos, whose functions and rights are clearly de fined by the faw.” The Indorsement is printed In the Official Messenger this morning, dash ing the hopes of the extremists. It did not come as a great surprise. The Emperor, from the beginning, although he has shown himself favorably dis posed toward a more liberal regime and In sympathy with some of the Zem stvo demands, had resolved not to yield the principle of autocracy. The Associated Press, however, was informed this afternoon by a person competent to speak, that too much Im portance should not be attached to the Emperor’s annotation, which It Is be lieved he wrote in a moment of 111 humor. overcoml'by gas.

The lower part of the tenement was occupied by a Turkish bath establish ment. and the gas escaped from a large furnace used In the baths. There were more than 100 persons In the upper part of the building, moat of whom were Russian Jews. That no lives were lost was due to two policemen, who. In passing the building, detected the gas, and imme diately began arousing the sleeping occupants. Many of them were uncon scious and had to be carried from the place, ALABAMA SOLDIERS” TO HONOR ROOSEVELT. They Will March la Ihe laaagaral Parade al Washington. Mobile, Ala., lire 22 -Hen. l-oula V.

Mis. Chadwick was reclining on a couch before her cell in the jail when she was informed this afternoon of the action of the grand jury. She appeared not the least concerned, and asked only if there had been any one else indict ed, mentioning the name of a person who has figured in the case to some extent. She declined to make any comment, saying: “It will do me no good to discuss my affairs in the news papers. There has been so much mis representation that I have decided to do no further talking, and 1 am also acting on the advice of my attorney in this respect.” “There are many things which Dr. Chadwick will have to explain, and 1 hope he will do so." said Prosecutor Keeler this afternoon. “Dr. and Mrs. Chadwick may be tried on the Indict ment separately or together. Bach has a right to trial singly, if it Is desired. “The Jurors will finish their work Saturday. Then the Chadwick investi gation as far as this Jury Is concerned is ended.
