QUAY CAUSED IL.
Itself-Democratic Action-The Texas
Delegation.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l6.-There is
quiet movement on foot to run Quay out
of the Republican party, but it is not
likely to succeed. The anti-Qusy Re-
publicans feel that he is doing
the party irreprievabls injury.
They are discouraged, and freely
say the next house is Demo-
cratic They are discouraged and mad.
These boilers from Quay's politics say
they intend to give him no recognition.
Meanwhile the Southern Republicans
are doing all they can to correct the
course of the senate advocates of the
election bill, and are sending dispatches
urging the return of absent senators.
They hope to get enough men of their
thinking here TO defeat the Quay crowd
If they can and secure action on the cleo
tlon line ut another caucus. They will
adopt more radical course than any vet
proposed, including change of rules
and arbitrary exercise of power
which will secure the passage of
the election bill. At present
it does not seem probable they will sue
coed in this plan but what the future
may bring to them of success or failure
cannot now be determined. One thing
is certain, the Republican household is
divided against itself Defeat next
November seems absolutely assured.
They are making high handed
rulings and doing anything and every
thing, unconstitutional or otherwise, to
cave their dismasted and sinking ship.
Some of the leading Democrats, see
ing the confusion into which the Repub-
licans have fallen by their own blind
ness, will not agree to ourtail
discuss it until October. Many
Democrats are of the opinion that the
tariff is more obnoxious and hurtful than
the election bill.
The Coke amendment to the river and
harbor bill providing for the Galveston
harbOr and its completion will be
reached on Monday or Tuesday, and
will undoubtedly pass. There
will be no hitch in the
conference committee, and ut least
Texas deep water harbor will be assured
and not a contingency.
1t is generally conceded here that all
the Texas delegation will be returned
except possibly Hare, who has q heavy
fight on his hands with young Bailey.
Martin says he is coming back if the
people and not politicians have a voice
in the matter. He seems pretty conf
dent they willHreturn him.

BROKE THE COMPACT.
Developments in the Examining Trial Of
j. W. Bennett for Shooting
Charles Shumate.

Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX, Aug. 16.-J. W. Ben
nett, who shot Charles Schumate at the
Rose Hill farm near Goodland, l. T.,
had his examining trial to-day. Shu-
mate, who is unmarried, runs the farm
and employed Bennett to work for
him. Bennett has a young and
taking wife who managed
the household affairs. On
the day of the killing W. w. Fuller, an
employe of Shumate's was in the yard
and heard loud talking in the house
Running towards the entrance he heard
Bennett say with an oath: "I intend to
kill you. 1 told you 1 would and l in
tend to do it,
Another step brought him in full view
of the parties. Bennett and Shumate
were in ten feet of each other, Bennett
with a shotgun, Shumate, who was
cripple, unarmed. Shumate exclaimed
as Fuller saw them, "I can explain It all
if you will let me-
nnett answered: 81 don't want
any explanation and raising his gun
fired. Shumate fell. The charge had
struck him on the left of the neck.
Some eight or nine buckshot
taking effect. Shumate is still
alive, but his limbs are entirely
paralyzed and his death Is certain. Ben
nett was granted bail IN the sum of
S5000 Benefits wife caused the
trouble. She was too attractive to
Shumate, and he made approaches
to her which she commune
GATED to her husband. Bennett who
seems an original character went to
Shumate and said: 'See here, Shu-
mate, my wife has told me what you
proposed. Now L have got this
to say, if you succeed with her
come and tell me and I will not
make any row. l don't want q
woman some other man can influence,
and will leave her to you and go off.
But don't want to be fooled about this
thing, and if you succeed and keep it
from me and make O fool of me and 1
find it out will kill you, sure.
This is Benefits statement, which is
corroborated by what witness claims
Shumate told him. Bennett also claims
that few days ago his wife confessed
that Shumate g repeated solicitations had
been successful and she had Welded to
him. Shumate kept silent, and the COM
pact being broken Bennett killed him.
