A Company of Them Fire Several Vol.

discriminate Murder.

Chicago, June 21.-One of the armed
companies, which, under the recent act
of the legislature, must shortly cease
to exist, became involved in difficulty
with some unarmed people, this after
noon, which resulted In the death of
several of the latter.
The Bohemian sharpshooters associa-
tion, composed of some twenty individ;
uals, had picnic to-day at Silver Leaf
grove, corner of Ogden avenue and
Western. During dance one of the
sharpshooters engaged in quarrel
with Volney Clark, a visitor, and after
using him up pretty badly, had him
elected from the grounds. He stated
his grievance to the crowd outside the
gates and gaining some sympathy there
inaugurated an indiscriminate throw
ing of sticks and stones into the enclo-
sure where the picnic was being held.
The lieutenant of the company, Frank
Ladweic, ordered the long roll sounded
and the bayonets fixed.
A charge was Immediately made
toward the gate and the crowd were
bayoneted and sabred until they fell
back. The company reformed out side
the gate in single line facing the street
and loading their guns cred volley into

GEN. sULLY.
A HALF-BREED TO BE HIS HEIR
Confirmed-The Poor Khedive-He Is
Terribly Anxious-Bonapart-
ism-Very Miscellane-
Gus News.
An Indian Romance.

Washington, June 23.-A curious
story comes from Yankton, Dakota, to
the effect that half breed daughter of
Gen. Sully as now living at White
Swans village and a member of the
Sioux tribe, will be the rightful heir to
all his property. Sully, it is said. left
a valuable estate in Philadelphia, also
considerable accumulation of money.
1t is stated that he has no wife or other
issue but this daughter Julia, tall,
handsome girl but wholly unedncated
and at present making her home in the
family of Collins Samount. She is of
mixed blood, and steps are about being
taken to establish her right to the for
tune. The marriage of Sully to her
mother, according to the Indian fash
ion, is stated to be susceptible of proof.
1t is certainly true that Sully, like a
good many old officers of the army, in
cluding jeff Davis and one or two
generals now very high in command,
left illegitimate children among the
Indians, and it is well known on
the Missouri river that one or two very
handsome girls. nearly white, have
been living in the camp of Little Phas-
ant, until short time since, have been
considered Sully's children. The rest
of the story may be invention.

The MINORITY Proeramme

Washington, June PA conference
of leading republicans was held during
the session of the house to-day, for the
purpose of discussing, with view to
harmonizing, the action of the minor
ity in case the resolution providing for
adjournment sine die should be intro
duced before the judicial appropriation
bill is finally disposed of. The confer
ence was very brief, and it was decided
that the republican members should
oppose any such resolution by voting
against it, and that they should pursue
the same course if the attempt to ex-
tend the appropriations for the judicial
expenses should be made, but in neither
case to resort to parliamentary tactics
to defeat the plans of the majority.

mittee of five, to proceed to that state
next September, and to prosecute the

three. Senator salisbury is to be
chairman of the Kansas subcommittee,
and Senator Hill will probably be placed
at the head of the subcommittee for
New Orleans.

Paris, June 23.-The embarrassment
of the Bonapartists is increasingly man
ifest. Paul De Cassagnac IS reproach-
ed with indiscretion in putting forward
the claim of Prince Victor Bonaparte
to imperial succession.
In Sundays issue of lie Pays, De
Cassagnac admits that nothing has
been officially decided, though perhaps
q decision may be made in few days
1t is believed Rouher announced his
ignorance of a will in favor of Prince
Victor because he considered its valid

poleon consents to waive his claims.

siderable excitement among the manu-
facturers of silk goods over the advance
in the price of raw silk, the French and
Italian supplies being short, and the
crops reported to. have utterly failed
in Italy, and very poor in France.
The price of all grades of the raw mate
rial is rapidly advancing here and in
Europe. Japan silk, next in value to
European, has advanced from five to
seven dollars per pound, new crops of
China and Japan being sold very high,
and silk brokers united in the opinion
that there will be further advance and
no reduction until next years crops ar
rive. The demand this season for silk
dress goods and all kinds of silk rib
bons has been very heavy, and all mills
in this vicinity are running on full
time.

Washington, June 23.-A cabinet
officer to-day in discussing the situation
with q member of the house, said if the
majority should again pass bill SINH
lar to the one just vetoed, the president
would return it without his signature,
and if congress should adjourn he would
call them together again the next day.
But if they should third time send
him the same bill and adjourn, he
would not reconvene them, and thus
throw the responsibility of closing the
courts on the democratic party.

London, June 23.-The government
authorities received an anonymous let
ter on Wednesday, giving warning that
an attempt would be made in Cheshire
to upset the train conveying Queen
Victoria and Princess Beatrice, from
Balmoral to Windsor, on Saturday. The
railway line was consequently guarded

THE VETO.
OUTLINE OF THE MESSAGE.
Beecher to the Front-The Socialists
to be Litigated-More About
the Appropriation Bills
Congressional.
The Veto.

Washington, June 23.--1he presi-
dents veto contains few points not
given in last nights summary. He
refers 10 the failure of the legislative
appropriation bill. as originally passed
by the house, to secure the two-thirds
majority necessary to pass it over his
veto, and says the election laws there
fore remain valid enactments and the
supreme law of the land, and binding
not only upon all private citizens, but
also alike and equally binding upon all
who are charged with the duties and
responsibilities of the legislative, eX-
ecutive and Judicial departments of the
government. 1t is not sought by the bill
before me to repeal the election laws.
Its object is to defeat their enforce
ment.
He quotes the sections OF the revised
statutes bearing on the matter contained
In the second section of the judicial
bill, ani says their plain object is to
prevent any money being expended
unless an appropriation has been mads
therefor. Under the existing laws the
failure Of congress to make the appro-
priations required for the execution of
the provisions Of the election laws,
would not prevent their enforcement.
The right and duty to appoint general
and special duty marshals, which they
provide for, would still remain, and the
executive department of the govern
ment would also be empowered to in
cur the requisite liability for their COM
pensation. But the second section of
this bill contains prohibitions designed
to render the laws imperative for the
next fiscal year.
If the presidnt signs the bill he as
sists in curtailing his constitutional
rights and obligations entailed by law,
which still remains on the statute
books. He says his views on the wis
dom and necessity of the election laws
are SO well known that it is not necessary
to reiterate them. The bill simply re-
moves the power Of the national gov
ernment to protect supervisors of cleo
tion in the exercise of their duty at the
polls. The states may employ civil and
military power at elections, but by
this bill, even the civil aud military
authority to protect congressional elec-
tions is denied to the government. He
would consent to suitable amendments
to, and improvements of, the election
laws, but not to the entire repeal or to
legislation which nullifies them.

his arrival in Paris, and is apparently
awaiting the action of Rouher. 1t is
not believed that Prince Jerome will
agree to be pretender himself or per-
init his son to become one.
In the event of Prince Victor endeay-
oring to temporize in. not distinctly ac-
ceptlng the position, the Bonapartists
will probably fall back on Prince
Charles Napoleon, president of the
Corsican council. Prince Charles is
forty years of age. He has no sons OIL
royal connections, and is much less
eligible candidate than Victor.

Caught.

Boston, June 23.-The murderer of
Mrs. DR.. Hull, in New York, some
weeks ago, was arrested in this city to-
night. He is copper colored negro
named Christine Cox, formerly en-
ployed as cook in the neighborhood
where the murder was committed. His
attempt to pawn some of the stolen
jewelry led to his arrest. Cox made no
resistance, but went quietly to the
police station, where he was searched
and Mrs. Hull's watch was found on
him and thoroughly identified. He
was not reticent, and said in answer to
questions, that he had lived for long
time opposite Mrs. Hull's house, and at
the time of the robbery he entered
through the lower window and went up
stairs to her room. He further said
that his purpose was robbery alone,
and that he did not intend to kill her.
Private detective Otto and Police Off
Ger Schmeltberger, of New York, have
arrived here, and visited Cox at the
station tonight. He was fully recog-
nized, and also gave evidence that he
knew the police officer. Mr.. Caryal
Coleman, who lived in the house with
DR.. and Mrs. Hull, who is also in Bos-
ton. visited the police station tonight,
and recognized the prisoner as II man
that he had seen frequently on tile op-
posite side Of the street from the Hull
residence.
The negro has appeared very calm
and Indifferent since his arrest, and has
talked without mnch hesitation In Civ
ing the details of his crime He went
home on the night on which Mrs. Hull
was murdered at O'Clock, and re-
mained in the house where he was en-
ployed until 10 O'Clock, when he went
out again. He had q key for door of
Hull's house, but was unable to make
it fit, and consequently he raised the
window in the lower story and fastened
it up so as to provide for himself an
easy way of making his escape from
eiU houoc. IiC liiti u CdItlt Will llilu.
On ascending the stairs he heard some
one snore and thought it was a man.
He blew the candle out, walked into
the room and stepped up to the side of
the bed. Mrs. Hall awakening asked
"Who is it?'' s'The doctor;n replied
the negro. She put up her hand and
touched his face as he stood close be-
side the bed. The robber threw her
hand back, at the same time laying his
hand heavily over her mouth. He then
got hold of the cologne bottle and
dashed the cologne in the face of the
struggling woman, after which he got
upon the bed and made gag of the
bed clothing. She was by this time in
an exhausted condition and he tied her
in the manner in which she was found
the morning after the murder.
Afterwards, Cox relates that he re-
lighted the candle, and in holding it
close to her face the cologne ignited,
which accounts for the singeing of the
eyebrows and the other burns on the
person of the murdered woman. The
robbery was then committed and the
robber made his escape, soon leaving
New York for Boston.

were circulated. Investigation has
proved there was needless alarm, no
new cases being reported for ten days.
Timely precautions have been taken,
and the president of the Colorado cattle
growers association stated that the
infection was confined to few small
herds, and had not extended to the
plains. The round-ups are nearly
through. Cattle are reported in good
condition generally, with less losses
than formerly, and with greater in
crease in calves than in average years.
