WASHINGTON, June 3.-Senators Alli-

subcommittee of Republicans of the
senate finance committee to-day con-
tinued consideration of the tariff bill.
The items in the wood schedule were laid
over for the present, it being deemed
best to await the return of Senators
Morrill, and Sherman before taking up a
subject of such Importance. The New
York fur dealers, representing LOG houses
engaged in the preparation of furs and
manufacturers of fur goods, were given
a hearing of few moments before the
subcommittee. They asked an increased
duty on dressed furs and manufactured
articles over that provided in the house
bill. The members of the finance COM
mittee who heard the plea are inclined
to believe, it Is said, that the rates pro-
posed in the house bill of 20 per cent.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The sub-com-
mittee on elections, which has had under
consideration the question of taking fur
Their testimony in the Clayton Breckin-
ridge Arkansas contested election case,
has decided the question practically in
the negative. In its decision the COM
mittee says the application of the con-
testee to take further testimony in Ar
kansas is denied. Full opportunity was
given to take such testimony at Little
Rock and the case was there closed as to
such testimony with the consent of the
contestee. The closing of the
case, however, at that part only
related to the taking of
testimony in Little Rock, leaving the
subject of further testimony at WASH
ington to be considered on arrival here.
AS to three of the witnesses asked for,
DR.. G. NJ. Taylor, G. R. Breckenridge
and Powell Clayton, while the commit
tee know of no reason why this testimony
was not sufficiently taken at Little
Rock, yet all three of said
witnesses are in Washington to-day
the committee will hear their further
testimony if the contestee desires to have
il taken. As to all documentary evil
dence called for the committee will re-
csive it and place it on record subject
to all proper objections and considera-
ton, provided the same is furnished be-
fore the record Is fully printed. In the
absence of any showing whatever, that
the proposed testimony will
throw any further light on
the Hooper theory of the case
the committee does not deem
it proper to delay the case in order to
take the proposed testimony OF the Cali

FORT SMITH. AK, June s.-Boudinot crump-
ton, alias Bood Dunes. was convicted to-day in
the United States court of murder in the frat de-
gree. and rem4nded to jail to await sentence.
The evidence in the case was entirely circum-
stantial, but the prosecution was conducted SO
adroitly by Attorney w. II. Il. Clay
ton that no doubt was entertained
Of his guilt and the jury deIiberzted but short
time before arriving at verdict. The evidences
showed that on the Ord day OK last November
Crumpton and Sam Morgan left q point near
Muskogee, Greek Nation, in the morning, both
riding horses belonging to Morgan. In the
evening Crumpton returned riding one horse
and leading the other, having IN his possession
Morgan's oFercoat, gun and pistol. he
stated they had met q man in 3 buggy,
and Morgan had gone to the Seminole country
to herd cattle, leaving his property in
his (Crumpton's) care Six weeks later
the dead body Of Morgan was found in hole
some distance from the road where he and
Crumpton were last SEEN He had been shot In
the head and his pockets rihed Of about sixty
dollars which he was known to have had the
last day he WAS seen alive. Crumpton was ar
rested as the murderer and lodged in jail on the
18th OF December last, where he has since re-
manned. He IS about twenty -two years Of age
The theory IS that he decoyed Morgan to the
place OF killing by representing that there was
whisky concealed In the hole, an6 that when
Morgan got down il the place to look after It he
murdered him.

A Sensation Sprung.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The majority
Export in the case of Miller VS.. Elliot
from the Seventh South Carolina district
was submitted to the house committee on
elections this morning by Chairman
Powell. The report is somewhat
sensational iq that at the
very beginning it declares that
the entire South Carolina registration
and election laws are unconstitutional.
The basis for this declaration as stated in
the report Is that the state law imposes q
number of restrictions upon the exercise
of the right of suffrage which are in con-
flict with the state constitution. Whereas
the constitution deprives a person of the
right of suffrage only upon conviction for
murder, felony dueling and treason the
state law prohibits the exercise of the
right of suffrage by persons who were
entitled to register in 1881 and neglected
to do 20, by those who moved into the
state and neglected to register at the first
ensuing registration, and by those who
sold their registration certificates
for valuable consideration
The report states that a number
of negroes have been compelled by
poverty, while waiting for the maturing
of their cotton crops, to negotiate their
certificates to traders who Immediately
send them to political headquarters with
the result that the negroes are perma-
nently disfranchised. The report recites
the fact that in some precincts
what amounted to an educational
test (and therefore an illegal test) was
was imposed by lettering the ballot boxes
which were seperate in case of each
Office, and that voters were deceived by
an Intentional shifting of the boxes SO
the judges of the election were able to
throw out all of the bal
lots cast in wrong boxes.

John S. Bell Chief of the Treasury Depart

The silver Question.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The decision
of the house Republican caucus last
evening not to make any utterance
on the silver question shows very
well the condition of mind of
the leaders of the administration
party. They are afraid of disturbing
the nice equilibrium which they believe
TO be now adjusted. They have counted
up their forces and discover that there
are sixteen Republicans who will vote
against the house caucus bill and in favor
of free coinage. This loss they have
hopes of replacing by votes of an equal
number of Democrats, among whom
are mentioned Tracey and Flower
of the New York delegation.
They are trusted to cast their votes
for the compromise measure in hope
OF barring out free coinage
bill, and it is believed that if the house
vote in favor of the caucus compromise
can be put through there are enough
senators who will desert free coinage for
the sake of the administration, to pass
the bill there and save delays and bother
of conference. Teller is the only Re-
publican in the senate who seems obdu-
rate in his intention TO stand out tor free
coinage against every thing, and Nc
Pherson and Gray of the Democrats are
counted on to choose what seems to them
the.
LESS OF THE TWO EVILS.
While the rest are put upon the roll of
voters for free coinage, some of them
because they believe in it and others
from a desire to put Republicans Gin
hole" The fact that these are caloula-
tions of the administration representa-
tiYes regarding the senate course gives
rich flavor of hypocrisy to the argument
they are using with weakened
brethren of the house that a vote
for the compromise bill is not
vote against free coinage. The
house vote will settle nothing, they ar
que, for the senate is bound to pass a free
coinage bill, then the whole matter will
be thrown into conference, and the re-
port of conference is quite as likely as
not to be in favor of a free coinage bill.
At any rate you VIII get another chance
TO vote on the subject before the session
is over. 1t is on such plea that they
have already won several votes, if the
report is to be trusted.
