and Kill Himself.

Caused Charles Whaley to Shoot His Wife
and Kill Himself.
PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 16.-This morn
ing Charles Whaley shot his wife three
times and then shot and killed himself.
The occupants of the house, hearing the
shots, hastened to the room, where
Whaley was discovered lying dead on
the floor; the woman, in her nightdress,
was lying on the bed. Whaley was
dressed and had tive-shooter in his
hand. Circumstances indicated that
after shooting three times at the
woman, he placed the revolver
in front OF his right ear and fired, dying
instantly. The woman is shot through
the lungs, in the right breast and in
the left temple. Whaley had been
working for the Portland Gable COM
pany, as conductor. Last night he re-
signed, on account of family trouble. To
others he is said to have remarked that
he loved his wife, with whom he
had not been living for some time, and
if he could not have l.er alive he
would kill her and himself too. He then
went to where his wife was staying,
where he spent the night. Nothing
more was seen of him until the time OF
the shooting. The woman is weak from
loss of blood and unable to give account
of the affair.

PERILS OF THE ARCTIC.
A Tender of the Whaling Fleet Driven
Ashore and Lost,

SAN Francisco, Sept. 16. - The
schooner Oscar and Hattie arrived to-
day, nine days from Fox island, bringing
Captain Fisher and Steward Choate, OF
the bark Thomas Pope, which was lost
in the Arctic August 9th. Captain
Fisher stated the bark was being driven
ashore near Point Hope, during a hur-
ricane, and to stop her progress if pos
sible, he ordered the masts cut away
This did no good, and the vessel drifted
ashore, the crew being taken off by the
bark William Lewis. The Pope was
owned by ]. and w. R. Wing. of New
Bedford, and Wright, Bourne & Co., Of
this city. The bark acted as tender to
the whaling fee-, and had eight
thousand pounds and sixty barrels of
oil, valued at about $780, 900, which, with
the dismantled vessel, was sold by Capt.
Fisher for $500. The crew will be
brought to this city on the United States
steamer Bear.
The small boat, containing Captain
Haritwen and twelve seamen of the
schooner Sophia Sutherland, which was
lost in Bering sea, was picked up with
its occupants by the British schooner

U. S, Court Notes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.-This after
noon the United States grand jury
reported to Judge Hoffman, of the dis
trict court, the true bill against Census
Enumerator James j. Cusick, who was
arrested some time ago for turn
ing over to Supervisor Davis, a
false certificate of the number
of inhabitants living in the district
which was placed in his charge as enum-
orator. They also reported that they
ignored the charge against E. Fl. Wolsey
chief jailer at the Alameda county Jail,
for allowing a Chinaman named Yee
Yick and four of his companions to
escape from his custody. The bail OF
Wolsey was therefore exonerated.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The Kennedy Matter Referred to the
Judiciary Committee

The kennedy Matter Referred to the
Judiciary Committee.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-In the house
today the senate bill was passed for the
relief of Admiral S. P. Carter.
On motion of Carter, of Montana, the
senate amendment was concurred in to
the house bill authorizing the secretary of
the interior to submit proposals for the
sale of the western part of the Grow
Indian reservation in Montana.
The house then proceeded to consid-
GRAFTON of Enloe's resolution relative to
kennedy's speech, and directing the
clerk to communicate to the senate that
the house reprobates and condemns
Kennedy's language as parliamentary
The pending question was the point of
order against the resolution raised by
Grosvenor, of Ohio. Blount, Ct Georgia,
in arguing the point, recalled the
Brooks-Sumner episode, and cited the
action OF the house in that case. He
never, as member of this body ,arraigned
asenator as felon and traitor by reason
OF his conduct IN regard to legislation.
There could be no question that the
character of the house had been assailed.
lie (Blount) was not here to indict the
character of the senator from Pennsyl-
vania. He was not here to investigate
whether or not the charges made by the
gentleman from Ohio were true or not,
but the question of the character and
dignity OF the house was one with which
the members had so nething to do, and
for which the people would hold them
to rigid responsibility.
The chair overruled the point of order
Bayne, of Pennsylvania, offered res
olution referring Enloe's resolution, to-
gether with Kennedy's speech, to the
committee on judiciary, with instruc-
tions to report within three days.
Cannon, of Illinois, favored the refer
ence of the resolution to the committee,
in order that the house might act intelli-
gently. In the present form of the res
Olution, the whole speech, including
the unobjectionable portion, would be
expunged from the record. If it were
adopted, the speech would be expunged
while the most Objectionable part OF it,
cited by the gentleman from Tennessee
tEnloe), would remain part of his re-
marks.
Enloe suggested that the gentleman
from Illinois was hardly a person to
make reflections on another person s
unparliamentary language. This led to
brief personal colloquy between Cannon
and McMillin and Enloe.
After further debate, Enloe demanded
the previous question upon his resolu-
ton, which was SO modified as to be an
expression on the part of the house that
it "disproves and condemns" Kennedy's
speech, and directing the public printer
to expunge it from the permanent con-
gressional record.
The house refused (yeas, 83; nays, 1l4)
to order the previous question.
Bayne, of Pennsylvania, again offered

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Representa-

the house today joint resolution
which, by title, provides for 'congres-

gress, by congressional districts"
The department of state today re-
ceived telegram from Minister Miner,

sembly of San Salvador unanimously

dent of the republic until the first of
