No Action ¥et Token by the Republican Senatorial Caucur. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 14.—The Republican Benatorial cancus lasted until nearly midnight and was vroductive of but meager results. There was & surpris- gly large attendance for a night caucus, hir ix Senators being present, and they vlunged immediately into the matter of the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty. The Finance Committee was not prepared to make recommendations, and the subject was passed over, o be furtber considered at the pleasure of the committee. This conc'usi. as reached after several Sen- ato members of the Committee on For- eign Relations, had expressed the opmnion that something important would vccur shortly that might ruake it unnecessary to legislate on the subject. It was m. stated that the important development was the treaty of annexation, but that was the inference drawn. There was considerable discussion of the vroposition presented by Perkins to give a bounty of balf a cent a pound to produc- ers of beet sugar, diminishing at the rate of one-tenth of a cent a year, thus disap- pearing entirely in five years, but the sen- timent of the caucus was antagonistic to a revival of the bounty system, and the prop- osition was withdrawn. 1t was decided to 1nst t Republican members of the Committee on Judiciary to draft an amendment which in their opinion wiil run the gantlet of the courts successfully and deprive the trusts of the benefits of the bill This amendmen’, when pre- pared, is to be submitted to the caucus, which adjourned to meet at the call of Chairman Allison. The tobacco schedule was not under con- sideration, and the ovinion was expressed that it would not be necessary to hold a caucus to dispose of that. The conciusion of the Finance Committee, it is believed, will be satisfactory. In the course of the evening the hope was expressel that more rapid progress would be made in the tariff debate, great desire being shown to get the bill into the hands of the conference cowmmittee by June 2 VOKEDNESS. 51GNS or Will Probably Be Soms Removals From the Indian Bureas. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 14.—The #pecifications for furnishing clothing sup- piies to the entire Indian service have been finally canceled and new bids will be called for by Commissioner of Indian Af- fairs Jones, to be opened in New York on July 15 or 17. The investigation of the way in which the old specifications were framed by one of the bidders, in order, it is alleged, that he might secure the contract through useiess technical requirements, has almost been con- cluded. Collusion of certain employes Las been charged, and it is possible that several removals may resuit in the Ind:an Burean. The examination made by Com- missioner Jones hus been very carefuland | | raiiroads ana ihe California and Oregon Rali- way. thorough, and had practically succeeded in tracine the responsibility for the condi- tion of affairs to several employes.

Mr. Humphries has the back- ‘ of ex-Atterney-General Hart and some other influential California Repub- licans, Congressman Loud was at the Treasury Department to-day ard talked over the si.uation with Aswistant Secretary Spald- | ing. Mr. Loud said to Tue CALL cor- respondent to-night that he did not notice the name of any Californian on the civil | | service list which he saw there, He is rather of the opinion that the Freasury | Department will not select a Californian tor superintendent, but wi:l send s man from here. Congressman Loud does not know this for a certainty, but inferred so from a remark by Secretary Spalding, who said : “The principal thing is to get the build- ing started as soon as possibleand to have | the work rushed to completion. We can | send a first-class man irom here who un- derstands the plans thoroughly, and all | things considered, don’t you think this would be best?"” Mr. Loud assented, inasmuch Calilornians are on the eligible list.

The Wife-Murderer Told the Keepers He Deserved 10 Die and Was mn a Hurry to Be Executed. SING SING, N. Y., June 14.—Howard A. Bcott, a negro wife-murderer, was suc cessiuily electrocuted to-day. He died without the reassuriag presence of a sin- gle friend save the pastor, and he walked 10 the chair without protest. No praycrs wer: said in the death chamber nor did the condemned man attempt to make any farewell statement. He told the keepers he deserved to die and asked them to hurry the execution. The crime for which Scott was executed was committed in New York on October 28, 1896. Scott was separated f:om his wife and the latzer earned a livieihood by working in a laundry. Scott's jealousy had caused the separation. About noon on the day of the murder Mrs. Scott ap- peared at the Jefferson Market Court in New York City and said she wanted 1o se- cure a divorce from her husband ora separatidn, as he had treateda her cruelly and failed to provide for her. A summons was given to her to serve on her husband should he appear. Mrs. Scott then went to her home, Shortly aiterward her sister, Mrs. Annie White, called, She found M Scott lying on the floor with a bullet-hole in ber left breast. Scott was at once sus- pected. An effort was made to get a statement from Mrs. Scott, but she was too isr gone to talk and died soon after being found. tive a few that Scott, at a funeral of a rela- weeks before, had remarked “‘thers would be another funeral .’ This and other evidence was brought against him, and at his trial he was convicted. His case was carried to the Court of Appeals, which last week de- cided against Scott. e FINAL CHAPTER iN A NOTED FEUD Trial of One of the Most Interesting (ases in the H.story of Texas Juris- prudence, SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 14 —The trial of one of the most interesting crimi- | nal cases in the history o1 Texas jurispru- dence began to-day at Eastland. It is one of the final chapters in the celebrated Miller-Frazier feud. J. B. Miller, one of the principals, is on trial on a charge of killing G. A. Frazier. The State has 180 witnesses and the defendant sixty. The father of G. A. Frazier was worth $100,000 and County Judge of Reeves County. His murdered son was Sheriff of Reeves Coun- ty and Miller was a deputy dheriff under him, and the two got along well together for some time. Finally Miller was | ed with stealing two mules from | He was acquitted, butarrested u and charged with conspiracy to| murder Frazier. He acquitted again. Soon afterward Frazier was ambushed and killed and Barney Riggs, his brother- in-law, was wounded. Riggs killed the two men who attempted his life. They were both friends of Miller. Riggs was | acquitted on the plea of seli-defense, Mil- | ler was then arrested and charged with the murder of Frazier. He denies the eharge. Miller is you and well edu- cated. He is apparently a devout church member, and never drinks, swears or smokes, D2 LELAND A4S A LOBBYIST. | o | Proceed ngs to Be Commenced Against a ! Prcminent Republican on a Charge of Attempted Bribery. TOPEKA, Kaxs, June 14 —Attorney- | | General Boyle announced to-night that he woula prosecute Cvrus Leland, National | Revublican committeeman of Kansas, for | attempted bribery.

CHICAGO, ILL., June 14.—Preliminary arrangements have been completed for the annual convention to-morrow of the | American Railway Union, the majority of the delegates having already arrived. | This year's gathering vromises 1o be | marked by the inauguration of a new movement which for some time has been | under consideration by President Eugene V.

LGHTNNG 0 NAV:L WARFARE Artificial Bolts to Dis~ place the Present | Projectiles. Shot, Shell and Torpedoes to Be Relegated to the Junk Heap. SR et | Fate of Battle-Ships Under Fire | Nothing Less Than Total Annlhilation. BOSTON, Mass., June 14.—Lightning is destined to supplant projectives in naval warfare. A Worcester (Mas-.) inventor | has just perfected mechanitm by which | he can actually discharge a bolt of arti- ficial ligntning and control its direction. Hcis now at work on the technical de- | tails necessary to the adaptability of tiis | astonishing invention to the American | battleships of to-day. These details are | practicaily completed, and it can safely | be said that naval warfare is to be so revo- | Jutionized by the substitution of electricity | for shot and shell that the fateof the future warship under fire is nothing less than total annibilation. Hereaiter warships, cannons, projec- | tiles, armor, torpedoes or small firesrms | will necessarily all be relegated to the | junk beap. The enemy will be smitten with lightning controlled and guided by the hand of man. Thomas W. Anderson of Worcester claims to have succeeded in | harnessing ligi.tning and controiling it by simple means and making it exert its | awful death-dealing power at his will. The young electrician is sanguina that | be has discovered means by which he can | accomplish all that he claims, and cause a boit of lichtning to strike wherever he may choose. He claims to have succeeded in aischarging a thunderbolt, or causing stroke of lizhtning to traverse a particular atmospheric course. | The principal secret of the invention Was admitted 1o be in the means by which | the current is transmitted. He is as con fident that Le can control the course of a bolt of lightning of destructive propor- tions us Tesla is that he can telegraph through the air withont material con- nection with the receiver. His plan is simply the delivery at any given point at a di<tance of a mass of lightning or elec- tric fluig, instead of lead bullets or bomb- shells. He 1s many points ahead, in theory at least, of the manufacture of zuns “for_throwing shot or bali, or the hurling of bombs, and may be considered | as referring in an up-to-date sense to the briliiant idea of American Indian, who had a playful way of shooting hgh arrows at the cabins of settlers and setting them afire. | STILL ANOTHER COMBINE. Ail the Sash and Door Factories of the West to Be Sccoped Into One Big Organization. CHICAGO, Irv, June 14.—The Chicago Inter Ocesn says: A new door combina- tion has been formed. It is a recently incorporated company, known as thee Western Door Company, with $1,000,000 capital, and headquarters at Rock Isiand, 1. Frank Adams, formerly commissioner of the Manufacturers’ Sash, Door and Blind Association, but now of the Farley- Loetscher Manufacturinz Company of Du- buque, fowa, is one of the incorporators. He is considered one of the best-informed men in the door trade, and he is realiy the organizer of the new company. The plan is to practically form a door trust on a new pian, as the old trust, formed in Wis- consin several vears ago, has been forced out of exisience by the courts of t State. The first work of the new company is to combine all the sash and door f.cio- ries along the Mississippi route. Most of the large factories have aiready been se- cured, and not only the others on the route, but also all the Western and North- western factories will be brought into the company by purchase or otherwise. One of the incorporators, speaking of | the new ccmbine, said: *“Ihe door busi- ness has been tun at a loss for over two years, as there are 100 many manufactur- | ers for the trade, and many of them had | to remain closed part or the time in pre- | vent overstocking the market. Even then | there has been too much siock, and prices | are lower in proporti:n to the cost of lum- | ber. Tne object of the trust is not to re. | strict trade, but to put it on a paving | basis. Branch houses are to be ovened in all leading distributing markets. Chicago will have one. There wiii also be at | New York. San Franciseo and also at Syd- | ney or Melbourne, Australia. Rl “There is to be a regular set of officers | and directors of the consolidated factories and it is said that Krederick Weyerhau- ser, the lumber king, will be president.’” Ea N ANNEXATION GF HAWAIL Aithough Thers Is No Immediate Pros- pect of the Sgning of the Treaty P.ans Ae Prepared. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 14.—When the President returns to Wushington to- morrow he will find the proposition to annex Hawaii in shape for positive action. Nobody in the confidence of the adminis- tration is willing to say the treaty has been drawn up and merely awaits the sig- natures of representatives of the Unit d States and of Hawaii, but it is pretty cer- tain that Judge Day, acting Secretary of State, will have ready in writing a number of definite propositions irom the Hawaiian Commissioners. A rough draft of the treaty has been made, emboaying all the points. The President has given all bis pol to understand tnat he would not bring forward any new question until the tarift bill is out of the way. As Cuba is entitled to next place aiter the tariff in executive and legislative con- sideration there is little prospect the question of the annexation of Hawaii will be allowed to come up until the Cuban issne is settled. While the Cuban situ- ation will undoubtedly result in some ac- tion by the President soon aiter the tarig izout of the way the annexation treaty may be sent to the Senate before the close of the session, Tnis may not bs done if atall with any idea of having the treaty considered immediatelv, but in order that it may be formally referred to tue Co mittee on Foreizn™ Relations and receive the attention ng of that committee d Tecess, 80 it can be reported to the Senate when Congress reassembles. LONDON, Exc, June 14.—The Times is of the opinion ihat the recognition of Hawaii’s independence by the great pow- ers in 1893 wiil constitute a diplomatic difficulty in the way of annexation by the United States. It says that if annexation is effected it will entail novel responsi- bilities and introduce an entirely new element in the American political syst. m. The Daily News says the acqu Hawaii will probably prove ax making transaction. The United Siates, it adds, has entered the scramble for col- onies and nobody can say where they will stop. SRR SPEAKER RKEED YET RULES. | There Will Be >0 Gemeral Legistation at This Session of Congress. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 14 —There will be no general legislation at this ses- sion of Congress tban those already named will pointed by Reed. An effort was made, notably by members from Minnesota, within the past two weeks to induce the be ap- | Speaker to appoint either a Committee on | | Ju iciary or a special committ e which | might consider the Nelson bankruptey bill, recently sent over from the Senate. | Various bysterical persons asserted that | Reed was weakening under the pressure and would yield, but one interested rep- resentative aamitted to-day that there was no hope of the bankruptey bill being considered. S o | ChEMATED WHILE INTOXICATED Shocking Fate of a Georgian, Who Was Rounded to Death. CORDELE, GA., June 14.—Walter Nesby, a dentist, went to his room late last night drunk, and in some way set fire to the house. Before aid could reach him he wa« cremated. destroyed. It is believed he attempted e. He died in horrible agony. Some time ago he killed a man by accident, and the tragedy had affected his mind. Or course, nobody ever openly accused Nesby of having killed the man purposely, but there were always those mean enone to hint that the killing was not wholly accidental. These hints reacned Nesby indirectly. They made him very morose, and after the killing friends. His business fell away, and as a result he was said at times to be in actual want. in a state of beastly intoxication. e POLITICAL BREACH IN JERSEY. Governor Griggs and Semator Di ide the Republicans. TRENTON, N. J., June 14.—The Re- publicans of New Jersey are becoming alarmed lest they might not be able 1o capture both the governorship snd the office of United Sta'es Senatorat the next S ate e ections of executive and legisla- tive candidates. The occasion for this diquietude is the fact that Governor Griggs and Senator Voorhees, who for a time worked sworn enemies. It is thought by many leading poti- ticians of the varty that the breach has become foo wide to be healed, and that Senator Voorhees has decidedly the best of the situation should his interests come in direct conflict with those of Governor Griggs.
