SPOKANE FALLS, W. T., March l.
Charles Skeels was probably fatally
shot by his wife at s o'clock this morn
ing. jealousy was the cause. SkeelS
bought the Panther saloon few
months ago. He came from the C9ur
d'Alene mines, when he met and mar
ried his wife, with whom he had been
previously living, in accordance with
the custom of the country. Some time
ago she became jealous of his atten-
tions to other women, two actresses
being particularly conspicuous. He
was visiting them at their rooms in
what is known as the Actors Flat, a
lodging house on Howard street. Mrs.
Skeels learned that he was there and
sent messenger boy after him, but he
Jailed to come. She then, accompanied
by the messenger boy, went to pawn
shop on Riverside avenue and purchased
bulldog" revolver. She loaded her
pistol, land, accompanied by the boy, went
to the place where her husband was.
She sent the boy to room No. 5 to en-
Quire for him, but was told he was not
there, and she sent the boy to room No.
2, but he returned with word that the
parties in that room did not know any
such person as Skeels. She sent the
boy back again, however, with the
message that some friend, whose name
she mentioned, wanted to see Skeels.
As he came out of the room in answer
to this last call she began firing at him,
shooting four times and hitting him
three times. Skeels had his coat In his
hand, which he dropped. The messen-
ger boy, in terror, fled to a neiighboring
room the moment the shooting COM
menced. He returned after it was over,
however, and the woman gave him
Skeel'S coat. and together they fled
down the back stairs. Mrs. Skeels was
So excited that she had forgotten where
her rooms were, and could not find the
Pantheon until the boy showed her
where it was. Skeels made his escape
to the street where a crowd soon gath
cred, and he was taken to his rooms.
He cannot live, and the woman was

SENATOR sABIN EXPLAINS
Why Republican Senators Are Not

Calling on Mr.. Harrison.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The callers
at the Arlington hotel, where President
elect Harrison is domiciled, have not
embraced many Republican senators.
and this fact is being freely commented
upon. Senator Sabin, in discussing this
condition of affairs, said: "Gen. Har-
risOn has remarked the absence of his
former associates in the senate and
feels very much hurt that such is the
fact. But he does not have to look
very far for solution of the problem,
for it is generally understood that this
is to be close corporation administra-
ton, and the powers will be Blaine,
Steve ElkinS and Senator Davis, OF West
Virginia. A common bond of inter-
est connects these worthless, and it
is going to be pretty hard work for any
one to contest for the supremacy with
them. Those in quest of information
concerning the cabinet, or any other
matters connected with the new admin
lstration, are referred to Steve Elkins,
and already the pressure has been SO
great that he has sought refuge at Bal
tlmore to escape his tOrmentors. 1t is
no use for Republican senator or
politician to go and see Gen. Harrison,
for whatever arguments may be used do
not seem to have any visible effect upon
him, and the wiSeSt course will be to
let him severely alone, and in this eX-
PLANTATION he can find the reason"

WASHINGTON, d. c., March New
York cabinet stock had an upward ten
dency this evening, and after lengthy
conference between the leaders of the
two factions, it was determined to throw
Miller and Plat overheard and en-
deavor TO secure the naval portfolio for
an Empire state Republican. The man.
tie fell on the shoulders of Gen. b. f.
Tracey,o Brooklyn, who was one of the
counsel in the Beecher trial, and rep
reSentative Kings county Republican
politician. 1t was deemed utterly at
variance with the claims of New York
to consent to the beStowal of the agri
cultural department upon one of
its elect, and the navy department was
decided upon instead. Objection was
raised against Gen. Tracey that he had
been identified with the Plat wing of
the party, but this obstacle was quickly
brushed aside by the declaration that
he was a conservative party man, and
he seemed TO be acceptable to both
sides. Consequently his name will be
submitted to Gen. Harrison tomorrow,
and the indications are that he will be
chosen to sit at the cabinet table as the
successor of Secretary Whitney. Sena-
tor Palmer, of Michigan, is undoubtedly
backed for the agricultural department,
and the only difficulty in the way seems
to be whether he will take it or not
In a conversation on the subject this
afternoon, the senator stated that when
he came to the senate chamber and
heard the appeals of his friends he was
inclined to forego his determination to
leave public life and remain in harness
for another term, but when he consulted
his family he invariably found himself
wavering between domesticity and duty.
He was very much like the chap who
was counting the girl, he was afraid to
ask her to have him because she might
refuse or accept him and in either
case he would be sorry he spoke
AS secretary of agriculture, however,
Senator Palmer would have little to do
except sit around and make himself Or
namental, and. as he is very popular in
this city, he is being urged on all sides
to accede TO Gen. Harrison's request.
Hon. William Window was str0lling
leiSurely down the avenue this after
noon, when the GLOBE representative
met him. In reply to query he said
that he thought he could be addressed
as Mr.. Secretary" with impunity, and
this is the prevalent opinion among
those fully informed.

policy of this new administration, it is
impossible to speak positively; but one
thing is certain-Sir Charles Upper is
fully alive to the Importance of an early
settlement of the fisheries question, and
it is more than likely that one of his
first public acts will be to invite the
new president of the United States to

When Pigott was arrested he took
