wAsHIsorox, D. G., July 22.-TherO
is we'll devised aud possibly a success
ful scheme aioot to defeat the nomlna-
ton Of George shiras, jr., Of Pennsylva-
mia, for supreme court justics and to I'LL
tho vacancy with Democrat. Senator
Cameron Is opposed to shiras and is in
viting Democratic senators to join in
defeating his confirmation. This is
easy of accomplishment at tho present
session, as the Democrats for the time
being are in a majority on tho judiciary
committee, TO which tho nomination
was referred. The absent Republican
members OF the committee will not re-
turn this session, so It rests with Demo-
Gratis 20 defer action upon the nomina-
ton. Should Cleveland be elected and
the nomination Of Shiras be still pend
inc next December the Democrats could
prevent action by shrewd filibustering.
They could insist upon discussing tho
appointment until the expiration OF
Congress and Senator Cameron wants
this done He promises Republican
votes in aid to defeat Shiras.
BY AHoctGttd PrtSs.
WAsuIxeroN, D. c., July 22.-The som
ate Judiciary committee met to-day and
took up the nomination OF Mr.. Shiras,
but after considering it for IN hour, ad-
journed until tomorrow. It was made
evident ut the session OF the committee
that the nomination is not to be con-
frmed without opposition.
Alessrs. Mitchell and Platt were the
only Republican members OF the COM
mittee in attendance. andinfact are the
only Republican mempers in the city,
while the four Democratic members
we're present. The latter could easily
break a quorum and prevent a report, II
so disposed, but 1t is probable that they
will content themselves with express
ing any dissatisfaction they may feel
towards the nomination by voting to
recommend its rejection. Thus the
matter will be brought before the sen.
ate, and this, after all, is what Mr..
Shiras' friends desire, although Of
course they would be better pleased
with a favorable report.
1t is probable that tho judiciary COM
mittee will act upon the nomination to-
morrow and thus transfer the subject TO
the senate.

MEMrIus, TRNS., July 92.-Thero was
but ono feature Of interest in the Alice
Mitchell trial to-day. This developed
in the testimony of W. II. Yolkmar,
brother.in.law OF Freda Ward, who
lives at Gold Dust, Tenn. He told how
Alice Mitchell and Lily Johnson, on a
visit to his sistor.in-law in June Of last
year, firted with everybody in the
neighborhool who wore man ap-
parel, at every opportunity, having no
regard as to whether men were married
or single. They also engaged in posi-
tions that frequently revealed their un-
derclothing.
Finally he expressed to his wife an
opinion that they should be invited to
leave. On the propositions Of Alice
Mitchell and Freda Ward to elope and
marry, he stated that was regarded by
him as huge joke There were other
witnesses introduced, among them Miss
Joe Ward, who was with her sister at
thA time Alice Mitchell cut her throat,
but their testimony contained nothing
OF especial interest.

Mr.. Horace Speed, United States
attorney for Oklahoma, writes letter to
the editor of the Arkansas City Traveller
in which he declares that Jerry Simpson
opposed the opening of the strip, which
so much concerns and involves the
future of Wichita. Mr.. Speed quotes
Jerry's language before the committee
which shows the animous OF the man.
Mr.. Speed says among many other
things:

the people of Oklahoma that ar. Simp-

positively hostile aud unfriendly TO
