With this NJ. Bourgeois retired from the

NJ. Goliard followed Nine. Cottu on the

and exclaimed, "If anyone knows that I

THE SENATORIAL APPorNrrra
Discussion AZ to the Probable Action oi
the senate.

Discussion AZ to the Probable Action ef
the Senate.
WASHINGTON CRY, March 13.-rSpecial.1
There seems 70 be difference Of opinion
here relative to the seating of the enators
from Washington. Montana and Wyo-
ming. There are some astute senators, it
is learned, who believe that some of these
senators at least will be seated. and posi-.
bly, all three. The newspapers take an.
other view of the situation. The Star saws
editorially tonight:
Unless there 10 . marked and radical change
in the senatorial sentiment the three states
Montana, Warrington and Wyoming will have
but one representative each in the upper house
for some time to come, q condition of affairs for
which three very foolish legislatures are alone
responsible Neither OF the bodies seemed 70 caro-
anything as to the interests of their constitu.
ents, but stood blindly by the candidacy of men
who could not DO elected. Now the governors
OF Montana, Washington and Wyoming have
appoiLted psrsons to fli the vacancies thus left
but il 10 almost certain that neither OF the ap-
rontees will be permitted TO take his seat
Those who are responsible for such an undesir.
able situation may find il difficult to sxplain
away the criticisms that are beginning to cir.
culafe.
The Erening Ners has this:
The present appointed United States senators
from Washington aud Wyoming, Messrs Allen
and Beckwith, are BY 10 means sure of their
seats. Ii 10 said that intima,inus have been
given by Seustof German and others that tho
Democratic senate would not seat any senator
appointed by the governor OF any state Both
the law and the precedent aud likewise poiiti.
cal expediency, II is said, are against the seat
ing OF senators chosen in such a manner. Ii
the two senators named are excluded the Iegis-
lsturss OF Washington and Wyoming will have
to ee convened again and make another attempt
toelect or else lose half OF their representation
in the senate for two years TO come. Mr. Allen
being q Republican and Mr.. Beckvith being
Democrat, their exclusion would make no diff
ference in the relative political strength OF the
two parties in the senate.
The Negs has evidently forgotten that q
senator from Montana was also appointed
under similar circumstances. On the
same subject the Ne~ York Times had this
today:
The leading questions involved in the sp-
pointmens OF senators by the governors Of those
states wall probably be studied by the senate
carefully and candidsy, iaassauch -, y neither
decision 10 reached, the political complexion
o. the senate viii not be changed thereby, and
10 ought not to be . source of congratuiation
that seaason have ~ opportunity - - fais and

mark. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Woods stands accused Of killing
VIM. Grudgeus.
70 the Editor OF the LmEL.AL;
I wish to correct through the col
umns Of your paper a few nIs-state-
ments made by the Silver City Enter
prise, which seems TO be endowed with
unlimited facilities for getting things
wrong. In speaking Of my escape It
says / was liberated by one Frank
Barrett, which is not true; and again
it says Twas bound over to await the
action Of the grand jury, which is also
untrue.
Ny preliminary trial began on the
25th inst. and was not completed at
4 O'Clock the 25th when court adjourn
ed until 9 o'clock the next day. 1 was
put in charge Of Fred Golden while
Deputy Sanders went to procure
guards for the night. When Mr.. San
ders returned we walked across the
street to where he was standing when
Mr.. Golden stopped and spoke to Mr..
Sanders and 1 walked on into a saloon.
AS my trial had been a onesided az
fair 1 intended TO leave and when ]
looked back and saw Golden and San
ders in conversation, / walked out OF
the saloon by the back door and kept
on geing. 1 did not see Barrett at the
time nor since, but l heard him speak
and saw the flash of his gun aud heard
the shots when he killed Evans,
Neither Mr.. Golden nor Mr.. Sanders
were to blame. 1 had been under ar
rest for two weeks aud my only bond
was my word, but when Judge Ginr
arrived he made objections and 1 wa'
taken in custody. When 1 was releas
ed on my word and had nothing but
the vigilance of the officers to contend
with, 1 took advantage Of the situa
, ton and walked away. These arr
facts and defy contradiction.
/ do not wish to comment upon thu
subject nor the causes which brough.
, it about, as the public may ascertain
: the particulars from other sources
: Neither do I wish to evade justice
but 1 do not want to get into tn,
/ clutches Of that bundle Of contradic
q tions and technicalities they call law
which seems to have no other purpos
! than to smother, cover up aud concea
the truth and defeat the ends of jus
, tice. When l am convinced that
:, can have justice, and permitted t
!, show up the facts in the case, 1 ar
ready and willing to stand my tria.
I and the officers need not look for m
:. as l will come to them.
/ have committed no crime, violate
no law, but have simply done my dut
d to myself, to my family and to human
ity. Yours respectfully,
