which was done. To meet such . similar
emergency new rules are framed Is follows I:

and pending the election Of q president pro
tenn the secretary of the Senate or in his

duties of the chair.

in writing, q senator to perform the duties OF
the chair and the senator so designated may
discharge such duties for . period not exceed.
ing three days, unless the Senate shall other

are entertained that . vigilence committee
will be organized and upon the arrival of the

CAPE COD SHIP CANAL.
The Old Colony Railroad Doing its Ut
most to Prevent It's Construction.

BOsroN, Nov. "a.
The significance Of the application last
Thursday by Alfred d. Fox, for a charter to
construct the ship canal across Cape Cod,
has just been made public. Fox is the con-
tractor for the 'Cape Cod Ship Canal Co., -
now at work at Sandwich.
Fox. it is alleged, did not fulfill the condi-
tons of the charter, and the company, to
save it, made another contract with Fred X.
Lockwood to build the canal, believing that
Fox was working against their interest. The
company profess also that Fox is tool of
the Old Colony railroad, which they say will
do its utmost to prevent the con-
struction of the canal. On the other
hand, it is claimed THAT the company has not
fulfilled the conditions of its charter, and
that consequently it is no company at all.
Fox's attorney comedies in the opinion
that the canal company has forfeited its char
ter. Fox. he says, had a contract with the
company. which was violated by the latter,
and the company secretly let the contract to
Lockwood, who was sub-cOntractor under
Fox. Fox represents capitalists in Boston
and New York, and would have fulfilled his
agreement in good faith had the company
not prevented him.
The Old Colony railroad attorney says he
is nowise interested IN Fox's plans, and that
Fox will proceed to construct the canal with
out regard to Lockwood or parties associated
with him if he secures the charter asked for

between them owing to the refusal Of Bar
rows to allow the married daughter of Mrs.
Cate at the farm and this led 10 the murder.
By the confession Of the principals in the
crime it is shown that Oscar E. Blaney, SON.
in-lsw of Mrs. Cate, and the latter agreed
between them to put Barrows out IF
the way. Blaney secured the pistol and on
the night of the murder Mrs. Barrows sent
her husband to the barn, saying the animals
we're restless. Blaney was lying in wait
and fred at him. The first shot took effect
and Blaney approached nearer and fred three
more into Barrows' body. Blaney then car
ried the body to the house, and not finding Bar
rows quite dead fred another shot in his head,
killing him. The subsequent events of Mrs.

had already repaired, announcing ''the suicide
