TARIFF BILL KILLED.
The Enacting Clause Stricken Out in the
House by Majority OF Four.

The Enact3ng Clause Stricken Out In the
House by Majority Of -Four.
In the house, on Tuesday, after strong
speeches from Mr. Randall, Mr.. Blackburn,
Mr.: kasson and others, Mr. Converse, pushing
to the front, moved to strike out the enacting
clause. This was signal for volly of Misses
and groans from the Democratic side, this
demonstration being metb by rounds Of applause
from the Republican side The scene in tho
chamber was one of intense excitement and
confusion to which the galleries rendered no
little aid by loud tokens of approval. Tellers
were appointed by the chair Before taking
his place, Morrison called to the clerk of the
house, who was standing by the speakers
desk, and exclaimed: 'Clark, SEQ that no
ID scoundrel who is paired goes between
ground should be had, Morrison took his sta
ton. giving Converse very cool shake Of the
hand as he stood opposite that gentleman. Then
the voting began, and the tellers announced
the affirmative vote to be 15. The first man
to pass through in the negative was Reagan of
Texas, who had been brought in an invalid
chair in order to cast his vote. He was heartily
applauded by his friends and received many
congratulations upon his apparent recovery
from his late severe illness. The negative
vote was announced as ISL, and then George
D. Wise (Va") voted in the affirmative, making
the vote stand 159 to 155.
Tho only Republicans who voted with the
Democrats against striking out the
enacting clause of the bill, were Messrs.
Strait, Nelson, Wakefield and White of Minne-
sofa. On being asked to explain their votes
these gentlemen all say that they voted to take
up the bill up to consider it, and having done
SO, they could not consistently vote to eject it
after three weeks timo wasted in discussion
IN addition, they say they favor revision Of
the tariff and would have voted for the Nor
rison bill if properly amended.
The Democrats who voted with the Republi-
cans i'll favor Of striking out the enacting clause
We're: Mossrs. Budd, Glasscock, Charles A.
Sumner, and Tuly, of California; Eaton Of
Connecticut; Finerty Of Illinois; Converse,
Foran, Geddes, Jordan, LeFeyre, hurry, David
R. Paige, Seney A. J. Warner and
Wilkins, of Ohio; Boyle, Con-
molly, Curtis, Duncan, Elliott, Ermen-

Death Of Judah r. BENJAMIN.

Judah P. Benjamin, the distinguished law
yer and advocate and ex-member of the gov
eminent of the Southern confederacy, is dead.
He died in his apartments, Avenue Jena, Paris.
He had been in failing health ever since he
fell while descending from a tramway car sew
eral years ago. The death of Mr.
Benjamin in exile removes one of the ablest
lawyers and brightest men that America ever
produced At this late day, when the passions
and prejudices engendered by the civil war are
fast dying out, the people of the United States
will not fail to acknowledge his true worth and
greatness. To the legal profession both Of
this country and England the news of his
death will be read with profound regret
Judah Peter Benjamin was born in Hayti
in 1912. He practiced law in New Or
leans, was elected United States senator from
Louisiana in 1882 and re elected in 1859 He
acted with the democrats and became a seces-
sionist. He was secretary of state of the con-
federate states from February, 1852, till tho
collapse of the government in 1865 He then
went to London, where he practiced law until
February. 1888, when he retired having made
fortune. Mr.. Benjamin was of the Jew
Jewish race, and possessed to marked degree
the tireless energy of that people. He showed
himself to be a man of great resource, and was
one of the most vigorous characters connected
with the dcfunct confederacy.

Asensational Murder case in England,

London Special cable: A terrible tragedy in
high life is reported from Devonshire. Mr..
Hugh Shorthand, = rich barrister from Aus
tralia, had been spending the past few months
in that county enjoying vacation. BE made
the acquaintance of Miss Dimes, the daughter
of wealthy country gentleman and connected
with some OF the most aristocratic families, and
proposed marriage to her. Mr.: Dimes, however,
objected to Shortland's attentions, having heard
some disreputable stores about his habits
which Mr.: Dimes was convinced were
too much those of a dissipate and profligate.
Shorthand, being clevein address and skilled
in intrigue, managed to induce Mr. Dimes to
postpone final decision until he could be con-
WINGED that his impressions were erroneous
and thus maintained his entree at the residence
Taking advantage Of the opportunities afforded
suit with the young lady, and finally induced
her to elope with him, and they were duly
married Soon after clipping, tho young lady 3
dead body was found in pond on her father
estate. At about the time the body was iliscov-
cred, Shorthand, it was reported, left Devonshire
It was generally supposed, therefore, that Mrs.
Shorthand had committed suicide in a fit OF des-
pondency. This view was confirmed by q let
ter which was received from Shorthand soon
after the finding of the body An investigation
was begun and it was soon ascertained that
Shorthand had never left England at all since
his marriage, and that he had written his letter
and sent it under cover to friend at Brindisi.
Shorthand was promptly arrested, and his trial

reason for the murder have failed, and Short.
