ARREsTED FOR MURDER.
Mrs. Walkup Charged With POfson-
 ing Her Husband.

EMPoRIA, Kan, Aug. 31.-The Walkup inquest which began Saturday, August 22, closed to-day. When the jury met this morning Coroner Frost read the certificate of analysis which was accepted as 8 final de- cision of the question as to whether or not MT. Walkup had died of poison. The jury then proceeded to take the testimony of Charles Ryder, the druggist who sold Dr. Jacobs the subnitrate of bismuth which was used in the case of Dr. Gardner, who yester- day analysed part of the same can and pro- nounced it free from arsenic and of Dr. Ja- cobs and the county attorney who each swal- lowed sixty grains of the drug without ill ef- feet. All the testimony concurred that the article used by Dr. Jacobs was of the purest and absolutely free from arsenic. The jury next examined Eben Baldwin of Lawrence in regard to MT. Walkup's illness on the steamboat last December on the passage to New Orleans and the manner in which Mr. Walkup became acquainted
 with Miss Minnie Wallace. The jury ad-
 iourned and at o'clock returned the verdict
 that J. H. Walkup came to his death by ar
 senical poisoning and from all the evidence the jury believe that the poison was admin istered by his wife Minnie Wallace Walkup.
 Mrs. Walkup was arrested charged with the murder of her husband. She will be brought up for preliminary hearing tomorrow. Her mother, who arrived Saturday, has entire confidence in the innocence of her daugh-

 ffnn rH1,Js VWfntar

Agitation This Winter. PROVIDENCE, R. l., Aug. 31.-The meeting ] at the Franklin Lyceum held to-day was at tended by about one hundred of the leading manufacturers and business men of Rhode Island, including Governor Wetmore, Lieu tenant Governor Darling, Senators Aldrich l and Chace and Congressman Pierce. Reso- ! lutions werS passed after discussion to the effect that
 l Whereas, The industries of Rhode Island have verely taxing the resources of both the inanufactu- rers and their employees, commercial confidence And whereas Although there are indications of a more hopeful state of affairs all industrial enter And whereas, The honorable Secretary of the letter which seems to contemplate a plan of gen. eral tariff revision at the coming session of Con gress;
 And whereas, We believe that any such attempt ed general revision of the tariff would be exceed Resolved That this meeting hereby enters it's re- spectful protest against any reopening of tariff agitation at the coming session of Congress. The features of the occasion were the speeches of Senators Aldrich and Chace. Senator Aldrich considered Secretary Man ning's circular as acknowledgment that
 
 tives in the administration acknowledged that native industries were entitled to pro- lection sufficient to equalize the cost of pro | duction here and abroad, and also as a sur render of the old Democratic princi- pie of half century in favor of ad valorem duties. He intimated in polite language that he considered the action of the Secretary an infringement on the leg | islative branch of the government; but he nevertheless advised a careful and cautious reply to the queries offered in the circular. He emphatically reminded his hearers that l the tariff question was one they could not ig nore; they must meet it. He warned them to 1 be especially careful not to convey a wrong | impression about the cost of labor. Senator Chace, though Quaker, was far more out spoken than Senator Aldrich. He plainly | condemned the course of the Secretary an ! infringement on the legislative branch and he substantially advised Manning to attend \ to his own business. A committee of fifteen | was appointed to consider reply to Secre- ! tary Manning.
