AN ISSUE RAIsED
When the committee proceeded to the
consideration of these Recommendations,
the issue was raised as to whether or not It
would be advisable at this time to begin
with the construction of the immense line
OF battle ships, as proposed by tho policy
board. Including tho harbor defense
monitors, there are forty-four of these YES
sells, and they would cost 500, 400, 900, while
the other 1s3 vessels, including lOl torpedo
boats at an aggregate cost Of $8,565,OOO,
would cost only $l47,025,OOO. Senators
Chandler and McPherson opposed that part
ofthe policy boards RECOMMENDATION por.
posing that these vessels should first
be constructed. They said that in
their opinion the United States should con-
tnue its present policy of building fast
cruisers like the Baltimore, Boston, Charles
ton and San Francisco, and gunboats and
torpedo vessels. The cost of these vessels
was comparatively small, and they could
form an unequalcd fleet of commerce de-
stroyers. The building of the huge linc-of.
battle ships should be deferred until we had
q larger number of cruisers, or there was
some exigcncy calling for their construc-
ton. On this issue the committee divided,
the majority, as previously stated. agreeing
with the policy board. In accordance with
this decision Senator Hale was instructed
to report favorably the bill introduced by
him some days ago embodying the rccom-
mendatiOns contained in Secretary Tracv.s
annual report.

A Bloody Tragedy Resulting From
The Troubles In Richmond, Tex.
GALVESTON, Tex, special.-A terrible
tragedy was enacted in the court house here
to-day, in which Kyle Terry. nephew ofthe
late Judge David Terry, was instantly
killed and two men badly wounded. The
killing was the outcome Of the
Fort Bend troubles, which resulted
some time ago in such bloody
battle between the citizens of
Richmond. Some months ago Terry, who
was tax assessor of Fort Bend county and .
member OF what is known as the Wood.
peckcr party. had . difficulty with the three
Gibson boys, all members of the Jaybird
party. Five weeks later Terry met one
Of the Gibson brothers in Wharton
and killed him. When the case
came up for trial Terry got q
change Of venue to Galveston county.
Galveston had nothing to do with the case
further than to gives fair trial. Judge
county, also secured change Of venue to
this county, and the cases were set down
for to-day and witnesses for both the prose-
cution and defense had brought to the city
large number of adherents Of what 10
known as the Jaybird and Woodpecker
factions of Fort Bend county. A large spe-
cial venire of citizens had been summoned
for jury service in these cases, to appear at
the court house at 10 O'Clock. A few min
utes after that hour Kyle Terry, his brother,
Capt. David Terry Of California, Judge
Parker, Judge Weston, DR.. Gale aud come
others entered the front door of the court
house.
TERRY TURNED 10 the LEFT
towards the stairway and had Just reached
the second step when the frst shot was
fired. 1t struck him under the right arm
and came out Of the left breast, and lit
orally tore his heart to pieces. There was
Q moments lull. and then four or i've shots
were fired from different directions. One
passed through the arm Of Judge Weston
of Fort Bend county, another through
the leg of Henry Pittle, Galyestonisn.
Eye witnesses say three men were shooting,
naming them as Vol Gibson, who killed
Terry, and whose brother Terry had killed
in Wharton, Dan Ragsdale and young
Mitchell, all from Fort Bend county and
all Jaybirds. The citizens Of Galveston are
intensely indignant because the Fort
Bend county factions transferred the
settlement Of their troubles here.
Immediately after the shooting six arrests
were made. The principal one was Vol
Gibson, who fired the first and fatal shot.
He is young man about twenty y.ave years
old, and treats the matter coolly. Gibson
was the oldest man in the party, four of the
Others being under twenty-one years ofase.
It was evident that the intention was
to kill Weston and Parker, as we'll as Terry,
the two latter because they were Wood
peckers. Judge Parker is member Of the
state legislature from Fort Bend county,
and is charged with having been the cause
of the late riot In Richmond. His trial for
murder comes up Tomorrow. He IL
charged with the killing Of 10 negro woman
during the Richmond riot.

The news that Schieber had escaped from
his custodian created genuine surprise in
Minneapolis police circles. There were
none of the officers who had given the case
any special attention but who thought
schieber was guilty Of murder, and was .
man who should be watched very closely.
In fact, the prisoner had practically con.
fcssed the murder, but claimed justification
because his old victim had accused him Of
drowning his step-son. Mr.. Hoy has had
great deal Of experience with criminals. It
is thought that Schieber's meek and lowly
appearance might have helped him out.
He has the appearance Of an easy.going and
harmless man. At times he would act % If
perfectly indifferent to his fate. But peo-
pie who thought these things were badly
mistaken. The fellow cannot speak word
of English. and had but little to say as
general thing. But he kept up heap of
thinking just the same. He would beg for
little privileges when confined in the cen
trail station, and later in the Jail, and to
awaken the sympathy of the officials he
would sometimes cry bitterly. Capt. Helm
was about the first man In Minneapolis to
