WASHINGTON, D: c., May THE Cabinet to-

zcns in Chicago. In the course Of the meeting,
Secretary Schurz stated that the movement to
occupy lands there is very extensive, and that,
notwithstanding the proclamation, great many
equatters ara on their way into the Territory.
Blnp5 Of them were from Chicago Hh ere they
left for the Territory, with the frames OF {he
houses IN which ther were to 1iYe already pre-
pared. 1t ras the decision Of the Cab
met that the movement should be stopped.
To this end troops will be stationed
on the highways leading to the Territory to head
of the squatters. 4 letter has been sent from
the Interior Department to the War Depart
ment with conies OF the statutes and treaties
whi:h 60 show that settlement in a1i parts Of
the lnQian Territories is subject to the inter-
course laws aud not to the homestead or pre-
emption laws It adds that the routes by which
1le invading settlers propose to enter or haYe
entered the Territories, and which will need to
be covered by the military, are those from
Co1eyrile, Wichita, and Arkansas City respect
igciy, to the Cimarou River, west OF the ninety

THE ATLANTA TRIAL,

ATLANTA, Ga, May 2-The defendants
counsel in the Cox murder case are thought to
have introduced their strongest witnesses to-
day, and havc succeeded in outlining their de-
fensc, although they have not filed up. They
proved that when Cox went to the Treasurer's
Office the first time, on the evening Of the kill
ing, he asked for Mr.. Murphy, and not for
Alstou; that when Coz WINS sitting at the table
bleeding, after the shooting, be said, 81 hare

Ing the door: and cried, "Kill him;
don't let him :: get: away!" and
that: before the - killing, Cox said
II don't want to fight, either, butI want satis-
factton." The defense will contend that Coz,
thinking be was wronged in vital matter,
sought ,persistently for rectifcatton, and, in
seeking this, was excited to such az extent that
he provoked ,A]ston's fire, and then, after be-
ing twice wouhded killed Alston in se]f:detense.

THE TADfEF DEBATE.


BERLIN, May 2.-The Reichstag to-day COM
menced the tariff debate. Bismarck declared it
was necessary to make the Empire financially.
independent, und to remove the inequality on
amounts Of contribution OF the various States.
Hc did not desire q larger income than was
necessary to meet the expenditures Of the En-
pirc. He believed that Indirect taxes were the
kind most easily borne, and in proof Of this
view pointed to the examples Of Russia and
France. OWING; he said, to the burdens on
landed property in Germany the production Of
corn was more heavily. taxed than its i'm
portation. Germany had become q refuge
for the reception Of the overproduc-
ton Of foreign countries, and required
moderately protective duties. Since the great
lowering OF the tariff she had been bleeding to
death. The question was one altogether apart
from party feeling. The removal Of uncertain
ty IN regard to the commercial po1icy was Il
paramount necessity. 1t would be better to re-
ject the bill promptly than to allow it to drag.
Herr Delbrueck opposed the bill,' entering
into long technical argument. -~.

THE RECORD.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. May .2-31r. Johnston
introduced bill amendatory of and supple
mentary to the act to aid in the construction of
the Texas Pacific Railroad It authorizes the
Company to extend its line from Its present
Western terminus to Ell Paso, there to unite
with the Southern Padtic Railroad. Lands
granted to the former arc transferred to and
vested in the latter, extending along its portion
Of the road. Each Companyis is required to com-
plete its road within six years. Provision Is
also made for other railroads to unite with
these roads al Ell Paso, the object being to form
complete lines to the Pacific from the Gulf mud
South Atlantic States.
1fr. Edmunds said that this bill was so i'm
portans that public attention ought to be drawn
to its provisions. 1t involved not oply a grant
Of power to the Texas Pacific Railroad by name,
but included four or five separate Grants to rail-
roads in Texas and Louisiana, authorizing tue
construction of railroads from one point in
State to another point in the same State. This
raised q serious constitutional question. He
hoped the Committee to which the bill would
be referred would carefully consider it, as it
proposed to give millions OF dollars in the way
OF subsidies. Re thought it had heretofore
been declared BY gentlemen on the Democratic
side, and SO affirmed in their legislative action
that there we're to be no more subsidies, and
yet In time Of public distress, and at called
session of Congress, bill was introduced from
that side, and sustained By the influential Sena-,
tor from .Virglnta, the passage OF which would
saddle on the Treasury untold aud unmeasured
liabilities. The bill was referred to the Com,
mittec on Railroads.
