WASHINGTON July 8.-Members of Senate
committees having tho bulk of nominations II
charge say that it is the intention of the Senate
to confirm all the officers nominated so far a.
possible, but that when the day of adjournment
comes there will remain on the calendars of the
committees quite large number of nomina.
tions which have not been acted upon. Thif
state of affairs grows out Of two conditions
first, tho inability of the COMMITTEES, owing to
the presence of numerous charges against nom-
inees, and the absence of rebutting testimony,
to arrive at conclusions; and, second, the re-
quest from the President, and Senators interest
ed in nominations, not to take any action at all
upon cases. The requests for inaction are
upon cases which are almost surely doomed
for rejection if action is taken, and
the persons most directly interested prefer that
the nominations should not be acted upon and
that the President may reappoint them at the
expiration Of the session Of Congress. 1t is like
ly that there will bo large number Of reap
pointments within week or two after the ad-
journment of Congress. A question arises In re-
gard TO reapointmenis, which, it IS probable. the
courts will be called upon to decide. It has been
held by the chief executive that when the Sens
ate adjourns, without taking action upon q nous
ination. that he has the right TO reappoint Some
constitutional lawers in the Senate have been
looking this matter up for several weeks and
have decided that the Senate is eontinuon!

AN INFAMOUS CRIME.
A Kokomo Musician 0utrages Nine Year0ld
Girl, Injuring the Child Very Seriously.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KoKoAo, July 8--One of the most Infamous
crimes in the history of Howard county was
enacted in this city to day. About noon Prof.
a. G. Hardy, an accomplished musician and
manufacturer of organs, induced little Alice.
the innocent nine yearold daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Beard to enter his shop where he
threw her upon the floor and outraged her person
in a most vile and shocking manner. After
completing the outrage he gave her
a nickel as hush money. Her mother,
hearing her screams, went to her rescue, and
soon the officers and large posse of excited men
were on his trail and succeeded in capturing
Hardy in corn-feld one- mile east of the city.
While an angry mob was gathering to wreak
vengeance upon the criminal he was placed in a
carriage and spirited across the country atbreak
neck speed to Sharpsville, where Sheriff Nc
Reynolds boarded Wabash train and lodged
him in the Indianapolis Jail
When caught he confessed the crime and
begged for mercy. Two years ago he removed
with his wife from Muncie to this city. few
months ago his wife. who is an estimable
Christian lady, was compelled to leave nim and
return to the home of her parents account of
his jealous disposition. Had it not been for the
prompt action of tho officers, Kokomo would
have again been disgraced with another hanging.
The child is injured in frightful manner, and
it is feared she will die.
Professor Hardy arrived in this city, in charge
of Sheriff McReynolds. little after o'clock,
and was taken quietly to the Jail. He is short
man, wears q mustache, and is fairly well
dressed. He exhibited symptoms of uneas-
ness, and had nathing to say AS he was turned
into the cage at the Jail he thanked Sheriff Nc

A MOTHERS TERRIBLE DEED.
Mrs. Turpin Cuts the Throat of Her Seven
Year-0ld Daughter. Then Hangs Herself.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
PRINCETON. Ind, July 8-A horrible murder
and suicide was committed on farm about five
miles northeast of this place about o'clock
this morning. Asa Turpin, with his wife
Theresa Turpin, and four children, two of them
by former wife, lived in a small frame house
near what is known as Severn's Bridge. Mr..
Turpin is young farmer in moderate circum
stances, and has always provided we'll for his
family, and to all outward appearance the family
was contented one. This morning. after the
family had eaten breakfast, and Mr.. Turpin
had gone to his work, about a quar-
ter of a mile away, and the oldest
step daughter had been sent blackberrying, Mrs.
Turpin told theyoungest step-daughter to carry
some slop to the hogs Mrs. Turpin then took
razor and almost severed her sevenyear old
daughters head from her body and placed the
body on bed. She then took her one-yearold-
child and hanged it until she thought it was
dead, and placed the body in the bed with the
other. She then went to the barn, and climbing
into the hay-loft hanged herself from one of the
rafters. The little stepdaughter came back from
her errand and finding the bodies of the chill
dren in the bed, gave the alarm. The
youngest child, when found, still showed signs
of life, and is yet alive Mrs. Turpin left a
letter. in which she said that no one was to
blame for the deed but herself; that her husband
had always treated her we'll and provided well
for the family; that the devil had been after her
for two months, and that she was unable to get
away from him; that for the past two weeks she
had been planning the Decd and had finally
worked herself up to committing it. She closed
by asking her husband to forgive her and place
his trust in Jesus. She also gave directions for
the burial of the bodies.
There are conflicting reports as to the cause of
the deed One is that she has been laboring
der religious excitement for some time, and
thought she was doing a righteous act An
other, the probable cause was the thought an
indscretion just prior to her marriage about
which she has talked frequently of late, and was
heard to say, on last Monday when speaking of
the matter, that she was soon going to put an
end to all her troubles. The coroner is holding
an inquest this afternoon.

were sent out last year, and are returning this
year, by invitation, to the same places where
they went then. Similar parties will go out
every few days all summer. Three more train

they dare to pefpetrate such crime.
How many other Chinese ride about IN

pockets, and are ready to fire at whoever
does not get out of the way quickly
enough we do not know
We rather fancy if a search were made
that very large number go about armed
habitually, and that ali are possessed of
arms slowed away in their dwellings, We
remember the case of mild little Chinese
boy who was employed as steward. Be
sides performing his duties he was most
anxious to learn, and was taught by his
master, sent to Sunday school and so forth.
He finally gave dissatisfaction and was
summarily dismissed. His packing was
superintended. and when his bed came to
be taken to pieces, there were found o. a
heavy bludgeon, (2) couple of heavy
knives, similar to cane knives, but smaller,
~ two revolvers. The little Sunday school
boy had certainly some pretty toys. More
over, it is only necessary for any one to
visit the houses of those who plant rice,
and he will be surprised to see the number
of arms displayed there. These arms are
not mere rusty fowling pieces and worn
out muskets for frightening away the rice
birds, but good modern weapons.
The law upon the point is very clear.

done to prevent the keeping ofLdeadly

The question of Chinese secret societies
is one which assuredly must interest all in
the community From what we can learn
there seems now, not only to be disa-
greement between two of the societies, but
there is a strong feeling in one society
against certain members of their own body
who have, or are supposed to have given
information relative to the smoking of
opium. There is therefore, an uneasy
feeling in Chinatown, and for some days
past collision between the factions has
been imminent 1t may come to a gen
eral fracas and it may blow over.
What however, is more alarming than
the quarrels of the Chinese between them
selves, is the knowledge that they are well
armed and that they dare to use their
weapons in the open street Whether the
particular Chinaman who was charged
with firing the shots at MIR. Fagerroos,
was the man who committed the crime or
not, is not material to the argument The
crime was committed by some Chinaman:
hewas unlawfully carrying deadly wea-
pom, and for some supposed annoyance he
was ready to draw the weapon. take the
law into his own hands, and strive to kill
a man walking along the highway The

few people as to the accuracy of our charge
against the Minister of Foreign Affairs
relative to the tauT pas he made in writing

colleagues were not saluted. We have

Bulletin of the 18th, and the Adgertiser of
the 18th instants:

1t is really amusing to learn how quickly
facts can be distorted and denied, even a
few days after they have occurred and
been chronicled.
The fact is the Minister of Fore
ign Affairs made gross blunder, and
the whole Cabinet is mortified at its
having been made The blame for
the blunder rests on the Cabinet, but
they were anxious to try in an I'M
derhand way, to create an opinion that
it was not blunder, and that the
GAZETTE accusation was mere piece of
political spite, to make political point
against them The effort has been thor
oughly abortive, for it has caused US to
publish the facts as quoted above, and we
now challenge denial of the correspond
ence having occurred, if the organ dares
to do it. Underhand means are not the
best to gain a point. The Cabinet having
received slap in the face had better have
accepted it with good grace.
