A special session of Congress has become necessary from the attaching of amendments to the appropriation bills, abolishing test oaths and election supervisors and forbidding the presence of soldiers near the polls. by the Democratic House. There could not be much reasonable objection to the two first amend ments but we think the Republicans were right in insisting upon some federal supervis- ion of elections. The presence of supervisors is a valuable check upon the frauds too often practieed by those having control of the state machinery

THE HULL MURDER.
The Police very Reticent Regarding
the Affair.
The Murderer Arrested and Makes a
Full Confession.

NEW YoRK, June %. The police are very
rcticent regarding the report relative to dis
covery of some of Mrs. Hull's stolen jewelry
in Boston pawn shop. Sup't Wallng says
he had no information to give.
The story, which cannot be traced to any
responsible police official, was Is follows =
''The murder was committed for other pur-
poses than that of murder."
At the Hull inquest, woman living across
the street said he saw man jump to IA win
dow and look out early on the morning of the
murder. The man was not Dr. Hull
The coroner, after examination of the ne
gro Francas, said the officers were endeavor-
ing TO secure the presence of another impor-
tant witness. .0tts. se~stss. .. "a
The inquest adjourned, subject to call of
the coroner.
The Sun says it is ramored there is reason
TO believe the person who killed Mrs Hull
had an accomplice. Rumor points to re-
markable news from Boston, where is is said
some of the missing jcwelry has been offered
for sale. The person who had it in keeping
is said to be either under arrest or surveil-
lance. 5t-
Ii is stated Mrs. Coleman and Mrs. Savlcs
intimate friends of Mrs. Hull, went to Bos-
ton, Saturday, and have identified the jewell
ry Of Mrs. llulrs. found there in pawn
brokers' II is also said the jewelry was sold
by negro, who picked it upon the street.
BosroN, June %. The authorities deny
that any of Mrs. IIulls jewclry were found
in Boston pawnbroker's shop.
Chastine Cox, copper colored negro who
had been employed as II waiter in the vicinity
OF the murdered Mrs. Hulls residence in
New York. was arrested here tonight upon
descriptions given by the ,pawnbroker at
whose shop Mrs. lIull's jewelry was found.
He was searched at the station ami Mrs
Hulrs watch found OH his person. He final
ly confessed the crime and freely gave the
horrible details of its commission.
He persists that he did not mean to kill
her, his only object being robbery. Tere-
grams indicate great excitement in New York
over this important arrest. The murderer
was tracked and his arrest caused by a Bns-
ton Herald reporter.

this misery and poverty was caused by rum {;
but it was the Shylocks and bondholdcrs that
caused it. and they were depressing the poor.

stated that the stockholders of the National
banks were making from Ii to 33 per cent. on

POLITICAL AFFAIRS.
The Army Bill ApprOyed.

! WASHINGTON, June %. The President
has signed the army bill, without giving his
reasons therefor. In conversation however.
he does not hesitate TO assign the reasons
which have actuated him He signed the bill
IN the first instance because he believes it
right that soldiers should not be used as
police force about the election polls -
At the same time he holds that there Il
nothing in the present political section of the
army bill which prohibits. him from using the
army to enforce any United States law. in
GLIDING the election laws, on any day, includ-
ing the day of election to the same extent
that lie is now authorized to use under the
constitution and existing laws.
lie holds that the use of the army for the
purpose of aiding the civil authorities to en-
force any OF the laws of the United States, is
not in any sense using II as apolice force, but
as the military arm Of the government it.
self
The democrats are much surprised to find
the construction given to their bill by the
President is such AS to oppose no more re-
strictiOns upon him in the discharge of his
duties, under the constitution and existing
laws than if the bill had been passed entirely
free from every restriction.
The Judicial Bill Vetoed.
The President has returned the judicial bill
his objection to that part of the bill prohib-
iting the payment of deputy marshals to en-
force the election laws. The objections he
presents do not extend TO the test oath see
ton of the bill.
He holds that the measure as presented il
direct attempt to coerce the executive,
since, although he stated in his message thar
he could not approve of bill which pre-
vented him from the execution of the election
laws, so long rs they remain unrepealed upon
the statute books, the bill is again sent him
with sections which virtually nullify this I'M
repealed law.
lie holds that the laws remaining upon the
statute books are binding upon every officer
OF the government, and upon the executive
as well, and under his oath of Office he is
bound to zee that they are faithfully executed
and that consequently, he cannot approve u
bill which not only fails to provide means for
enforcing the laws. but actually attempts to
prevent him from doing so.
