ment against tho right of the senate to in- vestigate and Mr. Hawley arguing in support of that right and favor of the proposed in- vestigation Mr, Lodgo offered a resolution directing the secretary of state to inform the senate by whose authority the American flag was hauled down from the government building at Honolulu on April 12, “Let thet resolution lie over untii tomor row,” said Mr. Gorman, and it went over. An amendment to Mr. Lodge’s Tesolution was offered by Mr. Butler, adding to it the words “and also by whose authority the same was hoisted on said building." Senators Harris and Sherman, who had been appointed a committeo to wait upon the president, reported that they had performed that duty and had been informed by the president that ne had no further communica tion for the senate at its present session. Detended His OMelal Acts, Mr, Chandler, rising to a_question of per- sonal privilege, said that he had not dis- tinctly understood psterday whether sonator from Indiana (Mr. Voorhees) had said he “might have heard” or that he ‘‘had heard” certain statements action as secretary of the navy. The Con. gressional Record this morning did not con tain the seuator's speech, but he found in the Washington Post the following verbatim report: *1 have heard it alleged of the sena tor from New Hampshire very grave and ugly things. [ have heard men while he was secretary of the navy he built three or four ships which made but one trip—to the bottom of the sea. I have heard italleged t the contractors retired from their work rich, contented and famous—all at the same time. Mr. Chandler said he thou; pretty good track of the made on hin from time sonal and official, but that he had never heard of these charges before, The only ships that were built while he was secretary of the navy w the Chicago, the Boston the Atlanta and the Dolphin, and thes ships (he thought) were very much afloat at this day. When the review would take place in Hampton R« and in New York harbor those ships would appear as fine ships a8 existed in the world, of the period of con struction. The Dolphin would contain the president and his cabinet and many senators and he devoutly hoped that she would not R0, a8 she hiad never gone, to the bottom of the sea, Contracts for these ships had been made with Mr. Jotin Roach and it could not be to him that the senator alluded, as one who had retired ‘rich, contented and famous." John Roach had become a failed contractor through the injus- tice of his (Mr. Chandler's) successor as sccretary of the navy. His affairs had gone into the hands of assignees and he had died a broken-hearted man. «le desired to interpose a¢istinet denial of Mr. Voorhees' charges and deny also any impu- tation that had found 1ts way into the pub lic prints affecting either his personal or his official conduct. He Did Not Mean Any Mr. Voorhees explained that his_remarks were intended as an illustration of the po- sition taken by the senator from New Hamp- shire and other senators on that side. The language which he had used in reference to Mr. Chandler he had heard used by othel and not a v 10te period from the pres ent time. Mr, Hansbrough also rose to a question of personal privilege and began by expressing the hope that the senate would not adjourn without giving his colleague (Mr. Roach) the opportunity asked by him yesterday. Mr. Voorhees interrupted and said that the senator from North Dakota was not speaking to a question of personal privilege. The presiding ofiicer (Mr. Faulkner) ruled that the senator from North Dakota had th floor and must be the judge of what he should say. Mr. Hansbrough thought t was one of personal privilege. h colleagne and his state. No political y in the_senate had a right_to deny the lego requested by his collengue. He hoped that the senate would not adjourn without giving him the opportunity to clear himself of the charges against him, and he asked unanimous conseut to have a vote taken on the resolution. Objection was made by several democratic senators The senate then procceded to the sideration of executive business. Thanked the Vice President. At 5:25 the doors were reopened and a resolution was offered by Mr. Manderson and agreed to, tendering the thanks of the senate to the vice president for the impar- tiality and courtesy with which ‘he has pre- sided over the senate during the present ex- traordinary session Mr. George made an _effort to have £5,000 sat aside out of the contingent fund for the expenses of an investigation by the commit- tee on agriculture during the recess. A good deal of opposition wus made to it on the democratic side of the chamber, and finally, as a short way out of that and other pending difficulties, Mr. Cockrell moved that the sen- ate adjourn sine die. The vote w taken and the motion was defeated —yeas, 23: nays, 23 (a tie). Party lines were ignored i this vote, six repub- licans voting in the afirmative and eleven in the negative, while seventcen -democrats voted for it and twelve against it. A motion to adjourn sine made by Mr. Hill and agreed to without a division. The vice president said, before announcing the result of the vote just taken: ‘1 beg to express my earncst appreciatiop of the uniform courtesy shown me by the members and oficers of this body during the session now closing.

Omaha Will Entertain a Throng of Shotgun Artists Next Montl One of the premier sporting events of the season, so far as Omaha goes, will be the sev- enteenth annual shooting tournament of the Nebraska State Sportsmen's association, which comes off on May 23, 24 and 25. Many of the erack shots of Colorado, Wyoming, | Dakota, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri, as well as from the eastern and middie states will | attend. Of course most of the shooting clubs of the state will send large delegations and altogether the affair bromises to be the best yet held by this old and time-honored | organization. A number of the city's promi- nent business men will contribute an out fund to be hung up as added money, and the Al sporting men having the immediat iwements in hanc will spare neitlier time nor expense inmaking the tourney a complete and unqualified success. Among those specially interested are Frank Par melee_of the Colling Gun secrefhry of the association of the Frank Cross Gun store; W. . Nason, the always enterprising devotee of the gun and trap; John J. Hardin, prominent for years in 'such matters; W. H.S. Hughes, Jeff Bedford, Stockton Heth, Goodley Brucker, Frank Cross, Frank Fogg, Fred Blake, G. W. Loomis, Harry Reed, Fred ' Montgomery, J. A.

If this were true it scems strange that they at once assumed that both were killed oy the con nee of the Stockmen’ eia- tion. Relations between the stockmen and the rustlers had been badly strained for a long time. and a previous in the fall of the year had brought matters al- most to a crisis. Rumors of vigilantes and Iynching parties, curvent on all side made the rustlers suspicious and and they had been gradualty drawing to- gether av various centers in the country for mutual protection and profit When the news of the death of Tisdale reached them from the city tt Buffalo in a state of great” excitement. The Stockmen's association was denounced as the instigator of the murders, and the names of prominent stockmen in' town werc openly chargea in connection with the crime, 'The latter took proper precautions for their own safety, and awaited developments. Did Not Look for the Murderer, Almost as soon as the tragedy was dis covered it was whispered that the perpetra tor w in the city, and that no further search need be made for him. As & matter of fact no attempt was made to foll the guilty parties beyond the sceme of th tragedy, although subscquent revelations show that this was a scrious oversight on the part of the autlrol § Frank Canton was in the city at the time recovering slowly from u long and severe at ack of rheumatism, and it was upon him that suspicion had fastened. No man had been more prominent as the bane of cattle thieves and crimfinals: no one was more justly feared by the lawless element of th west. His removal ‘would be a godsend to the stock thieves. = Accordingly, the wish in many cases being father to the thought, it penly charged that Canton was the guilty man, and it was alleged that a n neighbor of his had séen and recognized him at the scenoe of the Tisdale murder. Canton at once called upou Sgme of the leading rus tlers to prefor a eharge against him, in order at he might meet And refute the slander his, after considerable hesitation, they did, and Canton surrendered to the sherifi and was held for examination, The night precedipg the trial a plot to shoot him through’thd window of the she iff's room. where it passed the- night, was formed, but did not materialize, although the assissin snt upall night teying to serew up his courage. It is pecdless to say that his friends were equally on the alert. trial the prosecution produced Charles Basch, the man . whose .disappearance has given rise to so much comment. Basch had been u witness at the coroner's inquest on Tisdale's body, and in consequence of some remarks he had dropped was asked whether he could swear that the horse ridden by the man whom he encountered at the scene of the killing was Canton’s norse. He replied that he could not 5o swear, His Memory Was Refreshed. In the preliminary hearing before the ju tice of the peace he said in the course of cross-examination: [ know whose horse it was. It was Canton’s horse o wit- ness at the coroner's ingue then I wouldn’t swear positive about the horse; am ling to so swear now." What was the reason for this had his memory been refreshed? After of Tisdale's body a_searching party went out, With this party Basch w compelled to go, much against his will When he returned he was ready to swear to the identity of the horse. This was all the evidence tendinez to con- nect Frank Canton with the affair. The statement in the Cheyenne Leader by a Buf- falo correspondent, that Basch on his wa to town mentioned Canton’s name to the wit- s, Freemun, did not appear 1 evidence, the assertion in the same letter that Tisdale the previous night expressed the feur that«Canton would kill him, 18 untru Freeman, who is credited with this state- ment, swore that Tisdale, while talking on the subject. mentioned no names. The defense was an alibi. Men of the highest character and reputation accounted for Canton’s movements during every ten minutes of the day on which the tragedy took place. These witnesses were kept in custody till they went on the stand to testify and could not hear each oth evidenc They were all rigorously cros: amined and no honest man questions the veracity of any of them. 1501 were shot on point about sixte had been shot fays road on county changet Kustlers Not Satisiied. refutation of the charge did not, however, satisfy the rustlers, and the night after 'his release another plot v formed against his life. The exact pot at which the fatal shot was to be fired was fixea upon. but Canton was a dangerous man to mix up with—a muiss meant certain death, and the nerve of the inteading assassi ailed Canton remainea _in Buffalo for days after this, and no further ¢ 18 made agamst him. When he left for the railroad in_company with Fred Hesse, an- other leading stockman, and Sam_Suthes land, the three rode out in broad_day light. They were followed hy a party of rustlers, whose intention was to kill them. Herd aguin the white father saved them, and while their pursuas(were seeking an am- bush, the three stockmen, by hard riding, rveached the railtoad. The disappointed rustlers came back to Buffalo and openly dis cussed the affair. h warpant was sworn out against Canton, and s he had lett the state the governor was askéd to make a requisi- his arrest and surrender on a | cisely similar charge. It was r fused as unnecessary, Canton having promised the sherif to return when wanted, and Canton shortly afterwards came intg, Wyoming, went befo a judge of the aistrict court and gave bonds for his appearance ip the sum of &,000 When the applic was made it was alleged that additidnal evidence had been procured.
