Lth CONCRESS---FIR SESSION.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, April II.
The resolution offered ON Monday by Sen
ator Riddleberger, suspending the rules as
to executive sessions during the considera-
tion of the fisheries treaty, was laid before
the Senaue by the presiding officer
Senotor Edmunds moved that the doors be
closed.
Senator Harris seconded the motion.
Senator Riddleberger asked Mr. Edmunds
to withdraw his motion. He said he simply
wanted to make a statement and would not
discuss the treaty at all.
Senator Edmunds, however, persisted in
his motion and the segeant- t-at-arms was d.
rected by the presiding officer to clear the
galleries and close the doors.
The Senate upon the re-openlng 0i the
doors, resumed consideration Of the bill Tor
the admission of South Dakota, and was ad-
dressed by Senator Vest
In the course of the speech, Senators Vest
and Edmunds had colloquy over the cleo
taral commission of 1876, Senator vest SAID
that if the Southern States had done what
Dakota did, Senator Edmunds would pro-
pose another such commission as seated
Hayes.
Senator Edmuds asserted that nine-tenths
of the people of the country believe Presl-
dent Hayes elected.
Senator Vest disagreed, and said that If
Hayes was elected, Packard was. Senator
Conkling had, in the Senate Chamber allud-
ed to Hayes as fraud"
Senator Edmunds doubted the statement
and said he believed that Senator Conkling
thought Mr.. Hayes honestly elected. he
was foremost among the advocates OF the
electoral commission.
Senator Vest insisted that Conkling made
the statement attributed to him many times.
Justice Strong made a similar statement
Senator Vest then read reports of the recent
corruption in Rhode Island, charging the
Republicans with increasing their wealth
by tariff taxation and then using the same
in the purchase of elections. The Democrats
favored the admission of Dakota entire, but
not divided.
Senator Edmunds took the floor to speak
in support of the bill, but it was laid aside
with the unanimous consent that vote be
taken tomorrow.
The Senate then passed "a private pension
bills on the calendar and, on motion of Sem
ator Frye, the Senate bill appropriating
$4,000 for monument to Major General
Henry Knox, at Thomaston, Me-, was taken
up. Objection to its consideration was made
by Senator Berry on the ground that too
many monuments were being authorized. He
wished to submit remarks on the subject
which were not prepared. The bill was lald
aside, Senator Frye giving notice that he
would call it up at an early day.

ARGUING THE BEAL CASE.
The Clinton Murder Trial Drawing to
Its Close.

AUGUSTA, April 1.-THE interest in the
court room was at fever heat this morning.
The State first proceeded to swear eleven
witnesses, j. Jewell, William Lamb, r. d.
Richardson, II. N. Bean, M. F. Waite, A. W.
Kimball, B. F. Foster, S. w. Baker, Alton
Richardson, T. f. Stinchield, and j. NJ
Wing, all of Clinton, four having served on
the coroner's jury and one on the grand jury
which sat on the case. These witnesses
were put upon the stand to testify that the
boy had bad general reputation. Some
said it was bad. ..others that it was not very
good.
At about 1040, Judge Hail. counsel for the
defence, began his closing argument. His
analysis of the testimony put in was skillful
and bore the stamp of sincerity. He spoke
of the powerful motives that must have ex-
listed to cause the prisoner to put strychnine
in whiskey that not only his father was LA
BILE to drink, but his fathers friends, his
brother and his brothers friends. Judge
Hall was very eloquent throughout the por-
tion of his plea this morning, and had not
finished at 1890, when the court adjourned
till afternoon.

Afternoon Session.

Judge Hall resumed his argument at 2.45.
Concluding that portion relating to the rela-
tions between father and son, he admitted
that if Charles had said to George,as claimed
by the government, Have you been drink
ing any of that whiskey?" it would be dam
aging, but this had not been proved. DR..
Tash had shown tthat it would have been a
physical impossibility for Mr.. Beal to have
said what Furber had attributed to him. Old
Mr.. Beal was quick-tempered. and might
have made enemies. Another theory was
that it was barely possible that death was
caused by suicide. There also was posi-
bility that there might have been fatal
mistake made by the seller. The suspicious
fact of turning out the poisoned whiskey in
the stable came from the prisoner himself.
Hence it was badge of innocence, rather
than of guilt. The government had shown
no purchase of strychnine by the boy. The
Carver and McManus, pointing out discrep-
ancies. He contended that the evidence
showed there was mistake in identity, and
that the testimony had been exploded, and
no motive had been shown for the crime.
Attorney General Baker opened for the
government at 4.30. He brought out the
idea that what might not be motive to
many men, may have been a sufficient mo-
tive to the prisoner. The first point of the
committed. There was no proof of an ene-
my outside the family, and none in the fam
lily except the prisoner. The testimony Of
the prisoner as to his father driving him to
work when sick served to let the jury into
the secret state of mind held by the prisoner
towards his father.
At this point the court adjourned.
