SENATORIAL FISH STORIES.
a Possibility that They Will be Told
with Open Doors.

WASHINGTON, May 23-Tne fisheries
treaty will be discussed by the Senate in
open session. The Republicans have deter
mined upon this and have only to get their
full strength out to carry the point They
tried to open the doors again to-day in
special executive session of the Senate, but
did not lot it go to a vote, because they
would have been defeated by their alb
sentees Eugene Hale. for example, who
voted against open sessions yesterday, would
probably have yielded to the arguments of
party expediency and voted for them to-
day had ho not gone to New York
this morning; besides, the Re
publicans and many of the Democrats
wanted the Senate to ad journ early this at
ternoon in order that they might attend the
funeral of Senator Sawyer's wife
But tomorrow the Republicans will try to
have all their men present, and will proha-
bly, carry the motion made to-day by Mr..
sherman, a3 chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, that the fisheries treaty
should be considered with open doors. Tho
California and Northwestern Republicans
have compelled the Eastern Senators to
agree to open sessions because they feel the
absolute necessity of explaining their votes
against the tire ity to their constituents.
POSITION OF THE DEMOCRATS.
this question is being misrepresented. They
want the treaty postponed till next winter,
and they will do everything in their power
to bring this about, because they do not
think 1t will receive as fair and just treat
ment as it would next winter. For n SINH
lar reason they oppose open sessions, If it is
to be considered now, and they know that
tho majority of the Republicans do not
propose TO discuss the merits of the treaty,
the majority Of the Committee on Foreign
Relations having said in their report
on the treaty that the existing
matters of difficulty" between the
United States and Great Britain
respecting Canada are not subjects of nego-
tiatiou. 1t is of course idle TO think that
any treaty, good or bad, would be con
sidered fairly by the majority of the Ro-
publicaus They simply will not do it.
They will make bitter political speeches
about the treaty. They viii attack England.
They will attack the administration.
They will try TO stir up bad feeling among
tho Irish, in short, to make campaign cap
ital Now the Democrats don't think that
is the way that business pro-
position, especially an advantageous
business proposition, should be considered
by the Senate of the United States, so by
every means in their power they will resist
open sessions and urge postpouement. They
may even refrain from voting in tho effort
TO postpone consideration of the treaty until
next winter. They may have the votes of
several Western Republicans who think
that would be WISE

LONDON, May 23.-The Parliamentary
election at Southampton to-day resulted in
a victory for the liberals, Mr.. Evans, the

The vacancy was caused by the promotion

tion in this city. The Conservatives
bad made strenuous efforts TO retain the
seat. Mr.. Evans was absent in America
during the progress of the canvass, but his
wife and son worked hard in mis- behalf

members were chosen, stood: Giles Con

result, which they consider TO be the great
est Tory rout since the last gem

Something of sensation was created
when the telers returned the result of tho
seventh ballot, one of the telers announc-
ing evidence Of repeating. Two votes We're
found on the seventh ballot that were
thrown out. One consisted of a slip of
paper nearly torn through the center into
two strips. The names of the two candi-
dates were written on each slip in the same
handwriting. The other seemingly fraudu-
lent ballot consisted Of two pieces of paper
with the corners turned down
so that the two could be cast
us one and then become separa-
rated as two in the hat. The two
pieces of paper were identical in size, had
the same corner turned down. and contained
the same candidates names, and were in
the same handwriting. A resolution com
mending the action of the tellers in throw
ing out the suspicious ballots was passed.
Dr. Edwards tried to explain how the sus-
picious ballots might have been cast, but
the conference would not hear him. A
majority of the delegates seemed to think
that fraud had been attempted.

DEMOCRATS OF TEXAS.
The Platform Favors Reduction of
Import Duties.

Import Duties.
Fort WORTH, TEX, May 23.-It was
nearly midnight last night when the Demo-
cratic State Convention adopted its plat
form. The tariff and prohibition planks
are as follows: THE enormous surplus in
the Treasury, now reaching $l37, 900, 900
over and above all lawful demands on tho
Treasury, is legitimate result of the in
iquitous protective tariff. which taxes the
many to enrich the few. This unjust bur
den on the people emphasizes the necessity
of a speedy reduction of the tariff to the
just and economical needs of the govern
ment. We accept the result of the vote on
the proposed amendment of the State con-
stitutiou on the question of prohibition at
the election held on Aug 4, 1887, as tinality,
and the Democratic party of the State of
Texas deprecates and will oppose any move
ment looking to the reopening or further
agitation of the question of State prohibi-
ton"
The platform opposes the rechartering of
United States banks. The convention COM
pleted its work to-day by the election of
the following legates-at-large to the st.
Louis convention: James W. Throckmor-
ton, of Collin county; D. G. Giddings, of
Washington county; George Clark, of Nc
Lehman county; Horace Chiffon, of Smith
county. The electors-at-large are: J. w.
Bailey, of Cooke county, and A. w. Ter
re |, of Travis county.
The State ticket will be nominated by the
State convention, which meets at Dallas in

A North Carolina Farmer Shoots an
Old Man and His Son.

AsHEvILLE, n. c., May 23-A special to
the Daily Slm from Webster, jackson
county, says: Yesterday afternoon Allen
B. Dills, a we'll known and highly respected
farmer near here, shot and killed William
II. Bumgarner, and fatally wounded his
father, Logan Bumgarner The difficulty
grew out of a misunderstanding about a
small tract of land ard is the termination
of an old feud. The Bumgarners had been
ut work on the disputed land during the
morning While they were at dinner, Dills
went to the spot armed with a double
barreled gun and awaited their return.
BRUTAL MURDER
"As they approached Dills said: Don't
come any farther or III shoot They,
however, continued to approach. Dills
discharged one barrel of the gun without
doing any damage, and attempted TO fire
again, but the cap snapped and as the elder
Bumgarner continued to approach, Dills
drew a pistol and fired several
shots, all of which took effect
on tho old man, who fell. The young man,
who had a single barrel gun, then fired at
Dills, and turned to run Dills fired upon
him, striking him in the back, and he ran
a short distance and fell dead. Dills made
his escape and is still at la ge Old man
Bumgarner has seven bullets in him, and is
expected to die at any moment"
