Saturday Reception.
Getting the Fireworks Ready.

Special TO the Clone
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-There is to be
a political debate in the senate probably
next week Senator Edmunds said to-day
that he intended to offer his resolution call
ing for Information regarding the cases of
suspension in open session. The Demo-
eTatS, therefore, are making ready for a
discussion. They will probably hold one
or two caucuSes before the resolution
Is offered. The Republicans will do like
wise. They are not nearly so well united
upon this subject as the Democrats Since
the Republicans have changed front In
their demands greater harmony on their
side has been secured. Their calling for
the papers in the case has the same object.
however. as the proposition to call upon the
president for his reasons for suspen-
sion. 1t is believed that the president
will. If the resolution be passed. have
all papers relating to appointments pure
and simple seiit to the senate. Most of the
Democrats concede that the senate has the
right to ask for such papers. They will
Insist, however, if the Republicans ask for
more, that these requests be refused. They
hold that any papers in the way of charges
against incumoents upon which re-
mOVals nave been made cannot be properly
called Tor. The Republican argument
Will be that the Democrats have all
through the campaign said: open the
books. Turn on the lights and turn out
the rascals." They hope to show that the
Democratic administration is not worthy of
the support of the Mugwumps. and after
they have made that clear. they propose t0
make as much trouble for the president and
his party as they can. The debate prom
ises TO be the first interesting one of the
session.

A DOubIeTragedY.

CLovERDALE, Cal, Jan. 2S.-Details
reached here to-day of a double murder,
the victims of which are prominent far
mer, Jesse G. Wickersham, and wife. The
tragedy occurred at MIR. Wickersham's
ranch, about twenty miles from this
own. The scene of the murder was visi ted
by Deputy Sheriff CTlgler and Wickersham
was found sitting in a chair in the dining
room dead, with blood oozing
from wound in the breast and another in
the head. Mrs. Wickersham was found
dead on the bed in a bedroom up stairs, her
hands and feet bound and a wound in her
breast. The valuables on both bodies were
intact, which showed robbery was not the
object of the crime. All the wounds were
inflicted by a shotgun. Strong circum-
stantial evidence points to a Chinese
cook, All Kai, employed by the mur-
dered couple. All Kai is nowhere
to be found. The murder evidently took
place on Monday night. 1t it believed the
Chinaman took the early morning train
Tuesday at ClOverdale for San Francisco,
and embarked on the steamer Rio de
Janiero, which sailed from there for Hong
Kong Wednesday. The crime was first
discovered Thursday, but owing to the bad
condition of the road, caused by the recent
storm. no reliable information could be OBJ
tanned earlier.

Must Manufacture Ii.

Special 10 the GLOBE
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S.-Ex-Gov. W. D.
Washburn of Minneapolis, who is one of
the largest flour manufacturers i'm the
Northwest, was asked yesterday about the
report that big corner in wheat is being
manipulated by Armour and others of Chi
cago. and that millers are interested i'm try
ing to keep down the market price of that
cereal. He replied:
There is absolutely nothing in it. There
was corner in wheat. The price went away
up. Unfortunately for the millers we have
TO buy wheat when il is moving. If we let IL
go out or the country when it is being sold by
the producers we have TO go without 1t. We
bought wheat at the price TO which the corner
put II. The price was away
above the market price of the world.
The rate at which it could be
exported. When the corner bursted many
millers sold considerable quantities OF their
stock on hand because they said they would
be able TO buy at IA lower price. Thus the
story was started that they were partners in
the deal. As fact we all have more or less
wheat on hand, bought at the high prices,
which we are forced 10 manufacture and sell
al loss, now that the market is down.

liquor sellers and brewers are rejoicing over
the decision of Judge Brewer of the United
States circuit court, in the case of the state
VS.. John Walruff, the Lawrence brewer, to
the effect that the state should pay Walruff
$50, 900 for his brewery or let him proceed
with the manufacture of beer. In effect
the decision declares that the state must
pay for all property rendered useless by the
prohibitory law, and it is here that the de-

tilleries, but vineyards which aggregate an
immense amount in value. County Attorney

pear before the state supreme court and
show cause why he should not be removed
