On. Y j IN the chair. General debate was
dispensed with, and the bill was considered
by paragraphs, under the five-minute rule.

proposition that the cost of transportation

noLcoms. S TRIAL.
The Question OF Admitting an lnsur-
ance Policy.


Jackson, Mich, Dec. 3.-On the opening
of court in the Holcomb case this morning,
argument was heard as 10 the admisslbility
OF Kenzie's evidence in relation To what he
saw and heard on the Sunday of the shoot
ing in Holcombs woods. The court ruled
il out.
Several witnesses were called for who
couldn't be found, and Alr. Gibson asked, ia
long argument, that the insurance policy
taken out upon Jacob ID. Crouch's- life BY
Dan HoIcomb be allowed as evidence.
He alleged that Holcomb had
falsitied III the application, a. TO
the old mans age, and thus showed
animus. Gov. Blair said If the transaction
was honest Holcomb wouldn't have falsified
as TO the age. for If be had told the truth he
conidn't have got the policy at all. III a man
adopt a number of schemes against mans 5
life and abandon all bat one, does it not
show how Holcomb felt toward the old mans
Frazer and Wilson argued that Holcomb
wouldn't be scheming for the old mans life
for $1,000, when. as a fact, Mr.. Crouch was a
very wealthy man and Holcomb would be
heir to- a large amount when the old man
died, for at the time the policy was granted
Euniae Crouch was not yet married to White,
and there was one heir less TO the estate
Did the court wish the jury to believe that
Holcomb murdered the woman who rs a
child he has. given home for IL years when
her mother diedg The jury would believe so
if the policy was put III. Judge Gridley IN
reserving his ruling took occasion to say
that perhaps the people thought the rulings
of the court too stri CT, or that he did not adj
NIT all the testimony that should 90 in.
He said he cared not for outside clamor, but
he should rule as seemed right TO him, and
if he knew his own heart, his only desire was
to give the defendant and the people equal

CABINET RuMoRs.
The Story That Mr.. Bayard has Declin.
ed the State Portfolio.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The story that Sen
ator Bayard has declined the portfolio of
Secretary of State in Mr.. Cleveland's Cabi-
net and indicated his preference for the
Treasury Department is discredited by
persons here who are likely to
know the facts. A gentleman who
has confidential relations with both Gov.
Cleveland and Mr.. Bayard says positively
that Mr.. Cleveland is deyoting all his time
to the duties of his present Office, and will
make no tenders of Cabinet places until he
retires from the Office of Governor on the
9Th of January. AS yet he has settled upon
nothing with regard TO the Cabinet, and all
the states suggested are mere guess work.
The gentleman added that, even should
Mr.. Bayard decline tender of the appoint
ment of Secretary of State. he could not in
dicate a preference for another place. from
motives of delicacy. He was positive. how
ever, that no communications had passed be-
tween Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Bayard on the
subject.

meeting 10 discuss how 10 best dispose OF

buildings at Saginaw and Jackson will prob
ably be withdrawn ia favor of Detroit.
The Democratic members of the Ways and
Means Committee will hold a meeting to-
morrow morning-to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY
of pressing forward any tariff legislation.
While the tendency of the Demo
Gratis Is Ia favor of postponing the
subject until next winter. IN view
of the vigorous recommendations of the
Secretary of the Treasury and the pressure
from other sources il is thought now that
some tariff legislation may be produced at
this session. Chairman Morrison is decided
~ IN favor of bringing In another tariff bill,
but Mr. Mills, of Texas, and one or two
others are advocating policy of delay. Ii
Is proposed to settle the matter at the meet
