The Silver Bill Debate Onens.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May Especial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. The debate on the sill
yer Dill was begun rather unexpectedly this
afternoon. The Republicans had intended to
call 1t up and then postpone it to Tuesday, while
the bills admitting Wyoming and Idaho we're
pressedto conclusion. In view of the purpose
OF the Democratic Senators to debate the adj
mission bills at length the silver bill would
hardly have been reached by Tuesday. and it
was this perhaps. which led them to insist upon
lts immediate consideration. Senator Jones. of
Nevada who is in charge of the bill, has gone to
New York with the expectation that it would
not come up until the time agreed upon, and his
colleague, Senator Stewart, was good deal
surprised when his motion for de-
lay under unanimous consent was
defeated by an objection by Senator Vest. of
Missouri. The Missouri Senator said the bill
had been delayed so long and was of such i'm
portance that he did not feel that it ought to be
longer delayed, and that other Senator's shared
this feeling with him. Senator Vest refused to
Withdraw his objection and the debate began in
rather informal manner. The Republican
senators evidently were not eager for the de-
pate, and after offering some amendments the
debating was then cut off for further considera
ton of the silver bill by voting to 20 into exec
utfve session.

MORMONS In ARIZONA
Another Scene in the Republican
State-Stealing Drama.
THE TERRITORIAL SECRETARY,
Says He and His Party " ant the Idaho Safe
guards-Mansur, of Missouri
Corners Him.

| WASHINGTON, May Especial to THE HER
ALD.]-There was another scene in the Repub
llcan state-stealing drama enacted before the
House committee on territories this morning
MT. Murphy, secretary of Arizona, appeared
| before that committee and made an argument
IN favor OF the admission of Arizona as a state
He said he was Republican; had resided there
seven years and thought he knew the wishes OF
the Republicans of that territory in regard to
the admission to statehood After speaking
upon the resources of the country, he stated
that the people desired to come in with con
stltutlon that had all the safeguards the Idaho
constitution in it as against the Mormons
that they did not desire to see their state ad
mtted under conditions that would permit the
Mormons OF the surrounding territories to be
unloaded upon them.
Mr. Mansur of Missouri, member of the sub
committee in charge of the Arizona bill, asked
him how many Mormons there were in the ter
ritory of Arizona
Murphy estimated them at 1900 voters. and
said that they were generally Democrats.
Mr.. Mansur said: You propose then, to
disfranchise them outright on the same ground
that you would disfranchise the Chinese -
Upon Murphy answering in the affirmative
Mr.. Mansur asked him how many he knew Or
could vouch for as living in that territory in
open polygamy or bigamy
Murphy replied that he did not know.
Mr.. Mansur then queried if there were twenty
five in the territory
Murphy thought that there was
He was asked if he would not compromise by
requiring them 10 take a test oath, and not ask
to have them absolutely disfranchised
Murphy said what he wanted was safeguard
put in the enabling act of Congress as prece-
dent to their admission.
Then" said Mansur, ''you are unwilling to
submit the question to the people of Arizona in
the formation of their own constitutions
After some hesitation Murphy replied that if
1t were left to the people of that territory they
would vote down that proposition
Mr.. Mansur then said in jocular spirit but
which Mr.. Murphy took seriously, ''Are you not
willing to take the conditions of the constitu
ton of Wyoming in your enabling act? And
inasmuch as the women are generally the better
part of creation we will let the Mormon women
vote in Arizona as in Wyoming if YOU will let
the Mormons vote''
Murphy answered that he did not want tn
make any compromises on the matter: he
wanted constitution with the safeguards of
Idaho.
Mr.. Mansur, in speaking of the incidents
afterward, said that he understood that practi-
cally all the Mormon voters in Arizona as in
Idaho, were Democrats, while in Wyoming the
Mormons have generally voted the Republican
ticket, it thus appearing that it was ONLY the
Democratic MormonS in the territories that
were to be disfrancaired

NEW YORK, May 7.-This appears in to- day's
Wednesdays Suns sporting columns: Billy
Murphy, the Australian lightweight, who is
credited with defeating Ike Weir at the Cali
fornia Athletic clnb, called at the Sun office last
night. II Murphy's ambition was to create an
impression he may rest satisfied. He did it de-
cidedly. He was dressed in the fiashiest of
clothing, with diamond in his shirt front that
looked TO be formidable rival to the celebrated
kohtnoor, a loud English twang a Frank Dan

The vision passed down stairs and into Park

way. The office cats tail lost its rigidity; the
desk boy resumed his nonchalant position ON
both elbows; the sporting editor wiped the per
Splfaton from his brow; the staff heaved a sigh
OF relief and the effect of Murphy's visit is but

turning verdict of not guilty, at 10 O'clock to-
night. Barriere was arrested for killing his
wife November 80, last. The killinglwas the re.
suit of a quarrel in which the accused claimed
that his wife attempted to shoot him, and in
taking the pistol it was discharged, killing her
instantly. The trial has occupied the last ten
days, and has been one of the most closely con-
tested In the history of Butte. The general
opinion was that Barriere would get long
term In the penitentfary or the jury would hang
MIN, and so the verdict OF acquittal was a de-
cided surprise. The prisoner received the news
OF his release with the same composure that
has marked his conduct throughout the course
