re.,imony of scMillan. the Murderer.
GRrrxr1ELp. Mass, March so.

Greenfield. Mass, March so.
In the Mcmillan trial today, David sicMii-
Ian. defendant, testified that he had been
separated from his wife for five years. Heard
in November that she was living in Green
field. Knew Of no relationship between her
and Father Mccarthy. Sent her postal
card containing these words Com
mon decency, thou art a jewel; hast thou no
shame left?
Went to Greenfield Nov % and had an in
terview with his wife, 10 which the Priest
strongly objected. Returned to Boston and
received letter the next day from his wife
saving she would come To him. She did not
come, however, and Mcmillan again went Ia
Greenfield for the purpose of seeing her ana
finding out the reasons for her Not coming tn
Boston as promised. He went to Mccarthy
house, rang the bell, which WAS answered by
the Priest. To McNillan's question If his
wife WAS there, Mccarthy replied: iii tell
YOU nothing about it," and slammed the door.
Being very DESTROYS Of seeing his wife, he
again returned to the house and Mccarthy
again nswered the bill.
He was wild with rage and exclaimed ''God
blast YOU, get away from here! I'll fix you
so you II stay away! I'll fix you"
Mcmillan started from the house on the
run, with Mccarthy and Purcell the Priests
curate in pursuit.
Prisoner testified that Mccarthy struck
him once and thar, to stop his pursuers, h.
drew pistol and without taking aim reached
his arm around his body and fired. He had
no intention of killing Father McCarths
only object being to stop their pursuit. as he
considered his life in danser.
After he saw the Pri. ct f,l he at first in
tended to give himself UP. but fearing VIC
lence from McCarthy's parishioners, changed
his mind and started down the railroad tracl
to Millers Falls, thence by train to Boston
where he was arrested.
W. s. b Hopkins. senior counsel for the
defense, made the closing address and thu
prosecution closed at four o'clock.
The case was given to the jury at o'clocl
and at they were still out.
LATER.-Up to ] o'clock no verdict has
been rendered in the Mcmillan case.

HOUSE.

The Senate bill amending the statutes re-
latlng to the license fees Of officers of steam
vessels was passed.
MIR. joyce, of Vermont, chairman of the
committee on pensions. reported bill in
creasing the pensions of soldiers and sailors
who lost an arm or leg in the United States
service. to $40 dollars per month. Referred
to the committee of the whole.
A joint resolution was passed for printing
10000 copies of the first volume of the cen
sus report relative to the population of the
United States.
Mr.. Updegraff, of Iowa. chairman of the
committee on the laws governing Presiden-
tial elections, reported bill to carry into
effect the provisions of the constitution re.
speeding the election of President and Vice
President. Ordered printed and recon-
mitted.
The House went into committee of the
whole. Mr.. Robinson. of Massachusetts, in
the chair. on the tariff commission bill.
Mr.. Dunnell, of Mimi, opposed the bill
solely on the ground that the present tariff
needed revision. and that this Congress had
no business to adopt any method which put
the revision beyond itself.
The tariff needed change, modification, re-
vision. and it was the duty of Congress to
Immediately enter on the work, and not in
ueuui'eiN PoStP"Hc IL ny inc appointment VI
tariff commission.
Mr.. Hewitt said he was opposed to the bill
crea'ing the tariff commission for the reason
that it will make delay, and delay is danger
Gus in the present perilous condition of gen
eral business. We are now prosperous, but
our prosperity will continue only so long as
there is an adequate market for our products.
AT the present, for our manufactured products
the markets of the world are practically
closed against us. The reason of this is,
namely, that our tariff legislation has erect
ed artificial barriers TO the free introduction
of raw materials, and bv the imposition of
unwise taxes we are handicapped at the very
structions cannot be removed too soon. This
defect in our revenue system could be rem
eded by joint resolution in one week and the
committee on WAYS and means could then
take as much time AS might be needed to con.
slider and adjust the details involved in
reconstruction of the tariff covering $500 ar
ticles. Unless remedy be speedily applied
the industry of this country will be surfeited
by the excess of products for which il can
find no market At the conclusion Mr.. Hew-
tits remarks the committee rose.
Mr. King offered resolution directing the
committee on public health to investigate
into the probable effect Of the present over
flow of the Missssii pi river on the health of
the people living in the overlooked section.
Referred.
