The sundry civn Bnl Failed Hence the
Record Failed to Make It's Ap-



WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The house adj
journed Saturday night in spite of pro-
tests that the. public business required
house to remain in session. This leaves
the departments supplied under the
sundry civil bill unprovided for, and
among others the public printing office
had to he technically closed and publi-
cation OF the Congressional Record
stopped at midnight. No work is being
done today in the government printing
Office, which occasions great. .inconven-
ience.
In the senate it is no longer possible
to get a voting quorum present, but
resolution authorizing an inquiry into
the Homestead strike was regularly au-
thurized, on broad scope which will
give the strikers an opportunity to. ans
wer some very pertinent questions. Ii
it is shown that the Carnegie company
employed Pinkerton men it may be able
to show that this employment was un-
lawful, yet, at the same'time, if the in
vestigation is conducted properly, it is
bound to show that the strikers violated
-Here,laws THAT Carnegiesor the Pinker-s
tons. The senate views the situation
with some calmness, and does not pro-
pose that the investigation shall be q
juggled affair.
A sensation outside of congress may
come of the Investigation into the char
ges made in the house by representative,
Watson, of Georgia, who in pamphlet
alleges drunkenness OH the floor of the
house, suppressiiig names. One mem
Der, with whose name rumor has been
busy in connection with the charge of
intoxication, is. reported as having
threatened, in case his name was men
toned by Watson to horsewhip him in
the corridors OF the capitol until hecried
for mercy. Investigating the charges
Watson wanted to prove the existence
of 81 barroom in the capitol building,
but chairman Boatner wouldn't let him,
and wouldn't agrec that the record
should show refusal. Boatuer said it
was a matter of public notority that,
whisky could be had at either the SEN
ate or the house wing of the capitol.
Dnring Mr.. Dates testimony it was de-
yeloped that Representative Cobb, of
Alabama, was the person charged with.
intoxication by Watson.

GUILTY OF TREASON
Wyoming officials Obtain the Most
Damaging Evidence Against the
Cattlemen.
Their Baggage Captured Proves that
they Planned Murder and
InsurrectiOn.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 23.-Through
Sheriff Malcolm CAMPBELL of Converse
county it is learned that Sheriff Angus
and CountyAttorney Bennett of john
son county have procured evidence
against the cattlemen. They have I'M
earthed the design of the expedition
and extent of the depredations in
tended. The baggage of the members
OF the expedition captured proved, it is
claimed, that the whole party can be-
indicted not only for murder, but
for treason and instruction.
One result of the cattlemen's raid is
the probable ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
Wyoming State militia, the officers and
men being greatly dissatisfied with
their treatment by the Governor and
the superior officers of the organization
during the recent troubles. To-day
four officers rendered their designations
and others are expected. Many militia
officers assert that their organization
has been made a cats paw Of by the
Governor to aid his friends, the stock
men, and unless satisfactory explana-
ton of his actions is made they will re-
fuse to remain in the service.

morning he found his wife sitting at
her work at her sewing machine.
Without saying a word he drew re-
volver and shot her through the head,

Mystery is Not Cleared Up.
MARINE CITY, Mich, April 23.-The
body of murdered Richard Cook was
exhumed by the coroner's order and
was found to be covered with bruises.
On one leg were dents evidently made
by nails in q boot heel. The wounds
were photographed and the investiga-
ton will continue.
The coroner impaneled jury and
then adjourned. Meanwhile William
Colby, fellow-workman with Cook on
the farm of George Stephenson, IN
China Township, gave himself up, say
ing that he killed Cook with neck
yoke in self-defense during a quarrel
about a girl whom both loved
The prosecuting attorney thereupon
notified the coroner that an inquest
was necessary. Colby was Immediately
arraigned, pleaded guilty of
murder in the second de-
gree. was sentenced to twenty years
and was placed in the penitentiary.
Colbys confession was inconsistent
in several respects and that fact,
coupled with his strange willingness
to go to prison, excited the coroner's
suspicious and he determined to prose-
cute his inquiry. The condition of the
body contradicts Colbys testimony in
important particulars.

TAKING PRISONERS TO DOUGLAS.

Probable Outcome OF the Trouble.

ENGAGEMENT ON DRY CHEYENNs
RIVER, Wyo. via Courier to Douglas).
April 23.-Troops and cattlemen are
almost played out by the march and
the last two days progress has been
slower than earlier in the week, when
the blizzard was sweeping over the
country. Major Fenchet, the COM
handing officer, III conversation with
correspondent here to-day, paid
tribute to the people of Buffalo
and Johnston counties. He thought
their every action was clearly
within the pale of the law and that
they had conducted themselves admir-
ably at a time when any ill-advised
action would have resulted in the she'd
ding of blood. The mayor also spoke
highly of Sheriff Red" Angus, saying
he was every inch gentleman.
The captured cattlemen are not COM
municative to remarkable degree.
While eager for news from the south
ern part of the State, and especially
Cheyenne, they are silent when ques-
toned about their expedition and it's
real object. They will probably be
arraigned before some judge, give
bond, and once more be free men.
This will probably be the end of tho
whole trouble.

CHAPTER Y.
ICNNFINIIED.1

Already the girls were winning their
way little with Florence-shc had been
SO unused to girl-fricnds, and novelty al
ways has attraction for the young. Maud,
the eldest, was within few months of her
own age, just twcnty-one, Ethel two years
younger. Had her cousins been unrcined,
ordinary-looking middle-claSs girls, she
would have turned from them with ire
pressibe disgust; but even in so short a
time she could not help admitting to her
self, that, us far as outward appearance
ana refined manners went, they in no way
fell short of her own standard. Their pO-
sition of course was their misfortune,
though misfortune which appeared TO sit
but very lightly upon them she discovered
as their intimacy progressed.
Her uncle, the chemist was n necessary,
though dreaded evil, she admitted to her

A t present he was the only grievance she
was able to discover.
The girls had left her to prepare for an
evening meal they called tea, and Florence
turned wearily towards her toilet table, so
