WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 24.-It is
now settled that there will be no
compromise Tor some time to come
The hopes OF those Senators who
wished for the more modified form of
repeal are now blasted and they are
in worse fix than ever. 1t seems
serious mistake has been made
The Clearing House Committee said
TO two Senators that the President
would signs "a compromise bill. This
was totally erroneous impression,
as 1t was ascertained last night that
Mr.. Cleveland was as much in favor
OF unconditional repeal as he ever
was and does not favor any conces-
sions made to the minority. Sen
ators who had signed an agreement
to support a measure in the nature
OF a compromise have withdrawn
their signatures and the breach is
still Just as wide, if not wider than
ever.

MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE.

The grand jury met in special ses-
sion yesterday in obedience to the
order OF Presiding Judge A. B. Grace
for the purpose of examining the
witnesses in the Scott-McGehee MUIR
der case. Forty odd witnesses were
examined and the testimony justified
the grand jury in indieting T. J.
Scott for
MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.
Yesterday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Morris went to the county jail and
as he stood ON the rotunda that
passes around the murderer's cell he
read to the prisoner, in the name of
the State of Arkansas, the awful
charge of having, on the 10th day of
October; 1898, incold blood, assassin
ated Mr.. James McGehee.
The prisoner seemed calm and
composed as the deputy read to him
the indictment. 1t is thought the
trial will begin tomorrow. The
prompt action of the grand jury was
generally expected.

TO WATCH HIS GIRL.
Why II. p Fripp Blew In from PARKWAY
Arkansas Today.


Among the visitors at Police Head
quarters today was II. P. Fripp,
railway station agent at Ulem, Ark
He had heard of the wonderful do
ings OF Chicago detectives as related
in literature sold on railroad trains
and published in this city by the ton,
and his mission here was to get
points on how to be detective. It
appears that he suspected his best
girl OF conduct unbeeoming a lady
engaged to be married, and he
evolved a scheme to trip her up, as
he expressed it.
What he desired chiefly was dis
guise so that be could go to Cairo,
H., where the young lady lives, and
watch her. He was turned over to
Inspector Ross, who listened pa
tiently TO his story.
1.-THE young lady is boarding with
her father at the Cairo hotel" he
said, land l suspect her of thinking
too much OF the hotel manager.
What l want is to look over some of
your detectives DISCUSSES and pick
out something suitable. +"
How would you like to look?"
the Inspector inquired.
Il thought, maybe, that if my hair
was dyed red that she would not
know me when l went to board at
the hotel. You see my hair is black
and my mustache brown"
Eyes, that would do Then if l
were you | would go to a costumer
and buy some Dundreary whiskers. !"
Glow would it do to get a rub Der
air cushion SO that My stomach
would stick out? That ought to
throw her off the scent.
ooh, | wouldn't do that Your
figure is slight and your face thin. Ii
you had a big stomach you would
look ridiculous, and. good detectives
never wish to appear in that light.
Don't do it. You might, however,
get your moustache taken off, and
with the long, flowing side-whiskers
your mother wouldn't know you
"How do you know your girl is
unfaithful?"
Because the manager gave her a
diamond ring and bought her neck
lace and other presents.
"That looks bad. I've always no
ticed that about managers. If there
is anybody on earth who is smart
and wears his eyes open it is a man
ager. We have great trouble with
them"
Mr.. Fripp then followed the in
spector's instructions and visited q
Randolph-street costumer, from
whom he bought q S. outfit, consist
ing of red -whiskers, goatee,
etc. From a costumei he wound his
way to a barber-shop, where he was
shorn of his mustache. He then WIS.,
tied the parlors OF a woman who
sells beauty to homely females and
foolish men and bought quantity
Of red dye and other stuff. Heleayes
for Cairo tonight.

at the National Convention of the
Knights OF Labor next month over
the recent attempt OF Messrs. Wright
and Deylin, Of the General Executive
Board, to depose from office Secre-
tary-Treasurer John W. Hayes, as
an outgrowth OF some internal biek-

OF the most Woodworking and popu-

kept himself aloof from all factions,
and, according to adyiees received,
the large number of assemblies that
had not proposed to send represent
atiyes to the coming general assem-
bly, on account OF the state OF their
eXehequers have now reconsidered
their action and decided to send del
egates in order that Hayes may have
a fair show. His term of office does
not expire until next years meeting
OF the general assembly, and he can
be removed by the coming gathering
only by a change in the constitution.

TRENTON, N. J., Feb. lO.-The ice which
has closed the Delaware river for six
weeks broke at Lambertsville, sixteen
miles above here, this noon, and at once
started on q rush down stream. At Peril
wig bar the ice formed . jam and
the backwater resulting therefrom
flooded parts of South Trenton. The river
rose seven feet in two hours during the
afternoon. Toward dusk it went down
about a foot, but later began to rise again,
and there is now every indication of
flood severer than that of 1882, when sew
eral parts of the city were submerged.
Fair street, which is on the river front
in South Trenton, is under water already
and the people are padding about the
streets in boats. The flood has been antic-
ipated tor weeks. and such preparations
made for its occurrence that the damage
to property will DO kept down. Assem-
ping creek, which runs through the
city is also high, and tomorrow tho
water may overrun its banks and put out
many furnace fires as well as food dwell
ing houses and cellars. Reports from
Morrisvill@ and other Pennsylvania viii
lagos along the river, both above and be-
low Trenton, ars to the effect that the
water has begun to overrun them.
BUFFALO. N. Y, Feb. 10.-There 10
