About is months ago William Tay-
lor and Thomas Bsily landed in Los
Angeles and put up at the Nadeau
hotel. Being rather sporty boys and
apparently having large supply Of
money. they flew high and soon became
popular with men about town.
There were some rather sensational
steries whiupered ahnnt the cor-,i~~ h..s
they were what is known az smooth
people," and their names did not get
into the papers. Mr.. Taylor claimed to
be a representative of L0uisv,lle
whiskey trm, and Mr, Baily was under
stood to be the son of a rich Detroit
merchant. temporarily under cloud
and travelling until the time wien h
millionaire father should zee tit to to-
give him. n
Mr.. Bsily managed to become se-
quainted with Mra. Page, y rich and
prspossessing widow OF East Los An
geles, and succeeded in inducing her to
marry him. Ii, as wss supposed, ie iu-
tended TO make way with her property,
which consisted OF number OF ranches
and city lots, ne clipped up. for the
trustees, OF whom MIR. Joseph Mesmsr
was one, took care that he should not
make way with the estate.
At last the police began to take an
interest in mr. Taylor and Mr.. Baily,
and Chic Glass cent them message
to the effect that the climate Of Los
Los Angeles was not coed for them, and
they left, announcing their intention OF
attending the races 1T Salt Lake
city-and they never came back.
On September Both Chisf Glass re.
ceived dispatch from Chief of Police
Stoutsworth OF Detroit. Michigan, ask
ing the arrest of Thomas Kennedy, alias
Baily, ON the charge OF conspiracy and
abduction. but the sport wss in San
Francisco and yesterday was arrested by
Chief Crowley.
The charge against him is that of alb
ducting, on March 18th, 1891, an old and
rich resident OF Detroit named Joseph
Power, and extorting large amount OF
money from him. Baily was arrested
for this offence on August 18th, 1891, in
Detroit and taken into the police court
for his examination while under bond
he skipped out, but now it looks as If he
would have to answer to the charge.

Circumstantial Evidence Against Coch-

San BERNARDINo, Oct. 2.-Ever since
the finding OF the body of Frank Geary
in the anon OF Lytle creek, officers have
been busy Investigating the mystery OF
his death. William Cochrane, neighbor
of his. was few days ago arrested,
charged with stealing tools from man
named Paelan. He ia suspected, how
ever, of being connected with Geary's
death. A couple OF colored jumpers
were found in his cabin, which he says
have not been used since last June. One
of them shove evidences OF having lately
been washed. and the other was covered
with blood, which he says lie the blond
OF a rabbit, but the officers think it is
Geary's blood. Cochrane and Gesry
had trouble over land matters. Since
Geary's death Cochrane mas been uneasy
and nervous. Circnmstantial evidence
ia said to be very strong come: :;ing him
with the murder. 1t ia now clear that
Geary did not accidentally kill himself,
as at first supposed.

highest run 109. There we're Al innings.
There was a vexatious delay at the
opening this afternoon, one of the slate
beds of the table being found broken.
This necessitated the postponement OF
the afternoon game, and the men de-
cided to play 1000 points at night and
800 in the afternoons, instead OF 800
points every afternoon and evening, as
originally decided.
The match is for 10000 points at
English billiards, $500 side and the net
receipts, two games each to be played
daily, one in the afternoon and the
other in the evening, closing Saturday
The match differs from the one re.
Gently played in Chicago in one respect
only-the pockets are 5.8 inches in
stead OF 3 inches. which, it is said,
should work to Roberts's advantage.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

Several Spirited Tilts During the De-
bate on tho Tucker Bill.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-In the house
today Dinsmore OF Arkansas opened the
second weeks debate on the bill to re-
peal the federal election laws with an
argument in favor of repeal.
benson of Alabama followed in sup
port of the measure. He described the
military government of the south after
the war, and speaking OF the war itself,
declared with emphasis that he per-
formed bis duty az q confederate sol
dier and was proud of it. II believe I
was right" said he, "and under similar
circumstances would do it sgain."
"Oh, you did not whip u.s." he added
humorously, in reply to a suggestion
from Lacey Of Iowa that they should be
forced back into line again; "You did
not whip as We wore ourselves out try
ing to whip you." Lang hter.l
on the silver question and the split in
the Democratic party, he hotly declared
that some of the Democrats ought to 20
over to the Republicans "We ought to
meet and exchange prisoners" said he,
"divide ct the Alleghanies and proceed
with the fight" Applause from the
silver men on both sides of the house.
Lacey interrupted benson at one
point to inquire whether the ex-Confed-
crate from Alabama did not believe the
trainers of the constitution intended to
found nation in perpetuity.
"How do you spell nation ?" said
benson.
"With big N" replied Lacey.
"Well, that's exactly where we differ, -
Eaid the Alabama man. 81 sometimes
spell 1t with small n always when it
applies to banks"
He Thought the constitution un-
doubtedly conferred power on congress
to perpetuate the union, but that clause
invoked in support OF these laws was
only to be used when the states de-
faulted.
Clark OF Missouri followed with a
vigorous speech in support of the bill.
The people did not like, he said, the
idea OF United States marshals swagger-
ing around the polls saying who should
Veee and who should not. The mission
of the Democratic party from its incep-
tion had been to give local self-govern-
nent. Cleveland's last victory declared
the same thing.
Wilson of Washington inquired why,
if such was the case. Cleveland import
ed foreigners as Indian agents into the
western states.
"Perhaps there are cases where the
president cannot find men of sufficient
intelligence and integrity to fill those
places in your state" suggested Clark.
''The only scalawag to whom we OBJ
ject," said Wilson, hotly, was sent
from your state"
Clark then delivered TRADE against
the pretended love of the Republicans
for the colored race. "They call him
negro" he said, "we call him nigger.
They give him taffy we give him food
and clothing"
Murray, a colored representative
from South Carolina, had tilt with
Clark, and the incident finally closed
with the assertion by Clark that the
color line would not be wiped out until
the colored lace divided as the white
man did on economic and other issues.
Murray asked what good there was
for the colored man to divide until the
white man did, and Clark said the
whites could not divide and would not
until the bugaboo OF negro destination
was gone.

being taken at an unfair advantage. He
would therefore state the facts and
allow the senate to reach its own con-
clusion. OF the three states in ques-
tion, two were not silver producing
states, and those two states we're repre-
scented in the senate by two senators
who favored the repeal Of the Sherman
law.
In response to question Of Wolcott
(Rep.) OF Colorado, Washburn said he
referred to the states of Washington and
Wyoming.
IL would like the Senator from Min
nesots," eaid Dubois. ito state by whose
authority he makes that assertion"
ssBy the authority of the senators
themselves" replied Washburn.
81 imagine those senators will resent
that imputation, said Dubois. II state
that the senators from Washington
(Squire) and Wyoming Carey are not
for the unconditional repeal of the Sher-
man law. The senator from Washington
has offered an amendment in the inter
est OF silver"
ssThe senator from Washington
(Souire) told me-" Washburn declared,
''that he would vote for the uncondi..
tional repeal of the purchasing clause OF
the Sherman act"
This closed the incident, and Kyle
(oop.) of South Dakota addressed the
senate in opposition to the repeal bill.
Kyle ridiculed the idea that with free
coinage the United States would be
flooded with silver; on the contrary 1t
was doubtful whether the future yield
of silver will be enough to furnish the
necessary increase OF currency.
Mcmillan of Michigan, then addressed
the senate in favor of repeal. Inter
national bimetalliem being out of the
question for the present, he said
this country ought to use all the silver
possible without departing from gold
standard. Gold should be held pri-
marily for use in paying foreign bal
ances and to this end q plan OF inter
national gold currency, based on actual
deposits OF gold in the sub-treasury in
New York and the national banks OF
other countries should be adopted, GER
tificates OF deposits to be transferable
by telegraph, and balances to be paid
through an international clearing house.
In discussing money as basis OF credit
he showed that national banks were in
the habit of reducing the reserves be-
low the safety point, and favoring law
absolutely prohibiting national banks
from paying or receiving interest on de-
posits. He also favored q convertible
bond plan of exchanging bonds for cur
rency in order to obtain ready money
IN times OF crisis or panic.
The house bill to extend the time for
completing the work OF the eleventh
census was passed.
Consideration of the repeal bill was
resumed and Dolph of Georgia took the /
floor to give his views ss to the real
cause of the business and financial
trouble, which he said was fear of
hostile legislation. In the course of
his remarks, Dolph said If the Minneap-
oils platform had been believed to mean
free coinage, the Republican party
would have been dead and buried and
beyond hope of resurrection.
"Any worse than it is now?" asked
Teller.
Dolph ignored the question in the
general laughter which followed.
After an executive session the senate
adjourned.
