THE POCASSET Tragedy.
HesitatinE About Arresting Those who De-
fend Freeman's Crime.

BARNsTABLE, Mass, May 6.-The local au-
thorities do not know exactly what to do about
the Second Adventlsts who have defended the
motives Of Freeman in killing his daughter
Edith Public sentiment sets very strongly
against these people. and II they are not ar
rested there is danger OF violence. Yet. not
withstanding the fact that at the indignation
meeting on Monday II WAS voted TO demand the
arrest OF all 81 them, and warrants are ready 10
be signed. still the Justice hcstatcs and has to-
day decided to put all the facts before the Dis
trlct Attorney. and leave the responsibility with
him. The Adyentists themselves are defiant

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The bill forbdding
the presence of troops at the polls having pass
ed the House. was taken 70 the Senate late this
afternoon. and it will be considered there to-
morrow. The present intention Of the Demo-
Gratis is to take part in the debate but to give
the Republicans a chance to advocate the use OF
the army at the polls. II is probable that vote
will be taken on the bill tomorrow before the
Senate adjourns.
Hayes said tonight that he should approve
the bill. The Republicans have little cause to
congratulate themselves on united party and
Executive. The action Of the Republican eau
Gus last night appears to have had no appre-
ciable influence upon Hayes. The stalwnrts
have been hocking 10 the White House to-day
in troops. They have wrestled manfully with
the man whom they put into the White
House. but ho gave them littlo satisfac-
ton. He tells his friends that 1t is useless
for the party in Congress to fight the bill. In
conversation tonight, Hayes said that he did
not regard the bill as OF especial importance
one way or another. and therefore should
approve II. There was no reason why hc
should oppose It, He also defined his position
on the other political legislation pending in
Congress. saying that he would sign separate
bill providing for u repeal OF the Jurors Test
Oath law. but he would unhesitatingly veto any
election laws. Hayes thinks that there are
many. Objectionable features in the election
laws. but he would not consent that these laws
should DO wiped out in the manner
proposed by the Democrats, leaving
to be conducted without any Federal
regulations. Hayes. in n most nonchalant
manner. expressed his complete Indifference to
the attitude Of the Republican party on the
question Of using troops at the polls. He said
that the course Of the Republicans in Con-
or tho other in the slightest. The Army
Appropriation bill will be passed again unen-

fore the engagement commenced, the au-

commenced, and as a result, both amin ais
