The Murderer Supposed to Be Cnder
Arrest in idaho.
4 dispatch to the Posr-IxTELLreEScFR
last night from Cottonwood, Idaho county,
Idaho, stated that man supposed to be
TONY Miller, the murderer of 0luf FL
lingson, had been placed under arrest at
place. The suspect answers the murder
er's description infinitely and the
officers at Cottonwood believe that
they have at last got the
right man. Sheriff McGraw, up to II
o'clock lastsnight, had not been notified
of the arrest and Deputy Woolery who
was seen at his home on Yesler avenue
and Rose street, at the same hour, had
heard nothing of the alleged capture. The
officers may probably receive word today.
Cottonwood is place that would afford
good hiding for q man evading the law
and it is possible chat the long-sought-for
murderer has at last been captured, al
though it is not probable.

President Harrison Names Five of Nine
Members.
WASHINGTON CRY, July 3.-President
Harrison has appointed five members of
the new general appraisers court, under
the Mckinley customs administrative law.
The president has reserved the four re-
naming places tor further consideration.
The gentlemen named for the five places
are: George Tichenor. OF the District of
Columbia; George II. Schayr, of New
York; James A. Jewell, of New York;
Charles III. Hall, of Chicago: ]. E. Wiki
inson, jr.. of Louisiana. 1t is thought
that Estee. of California, will be appointed
to one OF the remaining places.
President Harrison has said that he
would appoint one of the appraisers of Gus
toms under the new law from the Pacific
coast, and San Francisco having got into a
quarrel over four or five candidates, it is
believed Northern man will stand good
show. The Washington delegation have
united upon John +. Convey, of Olympia.
They intend to ask the Oregon delegation
to cooperate with them. and it is possible
the Washington man may carry off the
prize. He will have the support of many
influential men in Ohio, as he was once a
popular member of the Ohio Senate, and
well acquainted with the politicians now in
congress from that state.

paid in gold alone: but that was ruled out,
on the ground that its consideration would
open discussion upon matter not properly
included within the series of bills before
the conference. Bland of the House con-
ferees, Is quoted as saying that the only
serious difference between the House and
Senate conferees Is that relating to the
bullion redemption clause.
Nothing was done by the conferees on the
silver bill. Action is DELAYED until the four
Republicans can get together and frame q
compromise measure. The whole trouble
thus far is with the bullion clause, which
the Republicans of the House and MEM
bers of the conference insist it shall be
inserted in the bill. Two of the Senate
conferees will object to this feature. What
the outcome will be is hard to determine,
as there are enough anti silver men in the
House to insist upon the original bill.
