FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS.

SENATE. .i
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Among the memo
rails and other papers presented and
referred were resolutions from the Louisi-
ana legislature extending thanks to con-
grass and the president for the reliet af-
forded to the sufferers from the recent Mis-
sissippi floods.
Senate bill for preventing the adultera-
tion of food and drugs was reported and
.laced on the calendar.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
Edmunds for investigation by the commit
tee on fishing into the management of the
fish commissioner office was taken up.
Senator Plumb opposed the resolution as
most extraordinary proposition. The
newspapers were filled every day with abuse
of government officials and resolutions
might be offered for the purpose of vim
dicating those officials and white washing
them.
Senator Edmunds replied to Mr.. Plumb
he did not believe the committee on fish
cries would whltewash any ore. The fish
commission was not under control of any
great department of the government as he
thought ought to be and there was no
authority except in the houses of congress
to make official inquiry into its manage.
ment. There had recently appeared in a
respectable newspaper a report (not a
vague accusation) of the nepotism and
misconduct with definite specifications and
names of offenders who had been appointed
displaced in the office of the fish commits
sioner in order to get up a family ring to
the great detriment of the government.
He had heard enough about the matter to
believe that the story was partly true and
partly untrue and he as one senator wished
to know the whole truth about it.
Senator Jones of Arkansas stated that If
the statement made in the newspapers was
true, it was absolutely necessary that Mr..
Macdonald should be removed from the
position. If it was not true, it was but fair
and just to him as well as to the public and
to members of congress that the uDtruth
should be ascertained at the suggestion of
the Paddock resolution. Went over till
tomorrow.
Senator Blair, from the committee on ed
ucation and labor reported senate bill to
provide for obligatory attendance at school
of children in Alaska, and the senate bill
without recommendation to organize bu
reau of information in relation to the en-
ployment, occupation and means OF liveli-
hood. Placed on the calendar.
The silver bill was taken up and Senator
Pugh addressed the senate. His speech
was largely devoted to criticism OF the
tariff bill.
Senator Pugh concluded with the state
ment that he would vote for the free un.
limited and compulsory coinage Of gold
ard silver bullion.
Senatar Farwell declared himself in full
accord with the purpose of the bill, but was
in favor of going still further. He would
use for money all silver offered, and not
stipulated sums as provided in the bill, and
he would coin it at its market value.
At the close of Senator FarwelPs speech
the senate agreed to the amendment in
creasing the appropriation for ritied sea
coast mortors from $250,00O to 100000 and
then adjourned.

ceived here last night state that Bud Lind
say, deputy United States marshal, shot
and killed kits, distiller in Campbell

rock at Lindsay. Lindsay attempted to
shoot kits, but his party took his pistols
from him. They left, and when a mile
away, Lindsay asked for a pistol. saying lie
would do no harm. ft.A' sa
He got the pistols and wheeling his
horse rode back to kits house. The latter
saw him coming and locked the door, but
Lindsay broke 1t down and shot kits twice
killing him instantly. Then he attempted
to shoot the boy and missed him and hit
little girl but did not seriously wound her.
1t is reported the Lindsay party arrested
him and gave him over to the sheriff of
the county. Lindsay is q desperate char
acter, having murdered a prominent citi-
zen in Campbell county five years ago and
escaped because of lack of evidence, claim
ing self defense and there was no defense.
The place of the recent killing Is twenty
five miles from the telegraph station.

Comb, special counsel for the government
in the Cross murder case today made ap-
plication for special venire of sixty men

have been three or four hundred people
from Kansas as witnesses and that the case
has been so fully discussed on the streets
and in the newspapers that it will consume
too much time to select jury of citizens
here as a great many have. disqualified
themselves by having either formed or ex-
pressed an opinion as to the guilt or inno-
cence of the accused. The application was

the army to be filed by appointment from this
