NEWS OF FLEET
!
The Atlantic Battleship Armada
Is Now About 2100 Miles !
From America.
YANKTON IS IN ADVANCE
Rear Admiral Arnold s Division Is En j
Route Eastward to Meet Home-
ward Bound Tars—Good
W eather Reported.
Washington Feb. 13.—Through
the medium of the Yankton as a re-
lay station the Atlantic battleship
fleet and the third squadron en-
route to meet the fleet in midocean
are in communication with the Uni-
ted Slates.
Several wireless messages were re-
ceived at~the navy department yes-
terday which were sent at 8 o'clock
Thursday night. At that time the
Atlantic fleet was 2100 miles east
of Fire Island and the Yankton 900
miles away. All of the vessels report
good weather.
One wireless from Rear Admiral
Sperfy commander in chief of the
Astatic fleet gave (he position of the
fleet at 8 o'clock Thursday night as
latitude 84.:!6 north longitude 30.19
west steaming at a speed of 10.5
knots per hour. This position is 120
miles southwest of Faval.
Another wireless from Rear Ad-
miral Arnold said the third squad-
ron (the battleships Maine. New-
Hampshire and Mississippi) at that
time was in latitude 22 degrees 27
minutes north longitude 71 degrees
47 minutes west. The vessels will
meet on the 17th inst. in latitude 35
degrees longitude 55 degrees.

Only Eleven Men Selected ίιι Cooper
Case in Nashville.
Nashville Tenn. Feb. 13.—With
scarcely a handful of the 41» ve-
niremen summoned to be there when
court opened yesterday morning on
the twenty-third day of the trial of
Duncan Cooper Robin Cooper and
John Sharpe for slaying Senator
Carmack the outlook for securing
the twelfth juror was not particu-
larly bright. The state has three pre-
emptory challenges left but the de-
fense has thirty-nine. Of the last
venire of 500 only seven men qual-
ified and six of these were challen-
ged. Should the same ratio of qual- !
ified jurors hold good in the other
venires and should both sides exer-
cise the full challenge right3 with
the jury wheel empty one can read-
ily see how slim are the chances of
completing a jury soon.
The state cannot ask a change of
venue. It cannot try a man unless
it can get a jury. If it cannot try
him he goes free.
• W. A. Bell a farmer fifty years
old who has not read a newspaper
for twelve years qualified but was
challenged by the defense. A. G.
Burnett a horse trader to whom
newspaper reading is an undiscover-
ed art and a close friend of John
' Sharpe was next qualified. The
! state tried to have him excused for
! cause but was forced to use one of
! its three remaining pre-emptory
! challenges.
