WASHINGTON, D. c., December ia
AS a rule there is not much fun In the
work Of members of the Ways and
Means Committee because the tariff Is
very dry subject. but the members Of
the committee had a hearty laugh to-
day over a letter which Chairman Will
son received from man in Nebraska
This man was evidently member Of
what is known here as the Tariff Re-
form But"-psrty. He wrote that he
had been,a lifelong Democrat and was In
hearty sympathy with the cause OF tariff
reform, but he understood the Wilson bill
placed poultry on the free list. and as he
was breeder of Shanghai chickens be
objected TO this. as he did not propose to
compete with the cheap Chinese raised
Shanghais OF China. In conclusion he
solemnly warned Mr.. Wilson that II he
conld not have protection he would
never again vote the Democratic ticket.
YESTERDAYS DEVELOPMENTS.
UASnlNN AONs ~. O., DcCtuObT
Before the adjournment to-day the
Committee on Ways and Means com
pleted the schedule Of the tariff bill and
devoted portion Of the afternoon upon
the administrative portions OF the 0il.
Republican members Of the committee
do not believe thst the bill will
be submitted before Saturday
ReXt, while the Democrats insist
that it will be reported much
earlier, possibly on Thursday. Although
forty members OF the House have re-
quested a caucus on the tariff bill, IL is
not sure that the bill will receive such
consideration. Chairman Holman, of the
caucus, to whom the request was pre-
'sented, Immediately held q conference
with Chairman Wilson, OF the WAYS and
Means Committee, but nothing was def
nitely agreed upon. Mr.. Holman was
taken sick before the conference ended
and went home. II Mr.. Holman should
not recover before the bill is reported,
it is not likely that he will issue a call
for a caucus. 1t Is not known that all
the members OF the Ways and Means
Com mittee and many Of the leaders OF
the House on the Democratic side have
no DESIRE FOR A CAUCUS
on the tariff bill. Some OF the Demo-
Gratis who are most anxious TO have
changes made Ia the schedules are oD-
posed to caucus. They believe that
forty or fifty Democrats can be found
who will vote with the Republicans,
and that thereby the bill can be amend
ed In the House. When the Ways and
Means Committee took 3 recess at IL
o'clock to-day the spirits schedule OF
the tariff bill had been reached. The
sugar schedule was undsturbed. The
Republican members did not make any
effort to secure any change In this
schedule.
Among the members who signed the
call for caucus we're: Morgan, Mo-;
COckrell. Texas; Richardson. Mich;
PascO, Texas; Champ Clark, Mo-;
Smith, Arizona; Kyle, Miss; Capehart,
w. Va; Stockdale, Miss; Anderson,

RICHMOND, VA, December 12.-The
complaint aud open charges, upon the
highest Democratic authority in Vir-
ginia, Of frauds in gubernatorial cleo
tions promises TO result in a strong
sentiment for a constitutional amend
ment which will insure white snpre-
macy. This question has often been
discussed by Democratic leaders but
never until recently publicly advocated.
A bill was to-day introduced 10 the
Virginia Senate to provide for submit
ting 20 the people OF the State the
question Of calling a constitutional con-
vention. The Richmond Dispatch, the
most conservative as well as one OF the
most prominent Democratic journals in
the State. advocates such a convention.
The question of adopting some educa-
tional qualification has been discussed
here for some years. Ia 1SSS one OF
Mr.. BIaine's most intimate person al and
political friends advocated just such a
plan. The Democrats, he maintained,
could carry such an amendment in the
same manner they did other elections

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
MonsOn, the Suspect, Placed on Trial at
Edinburg.


Edinburg.
EDINBURG, Decem Der 12.-The long
expected trial OF Alfred John Monson, a
tutor, charged with the murder OF
Lieut.. Windsor Dudley Cecil Ham
brough, opened this morning IN the
Sheriff's Court before Lord Kinsbury,
Lord Justice Clerk of Scotland. The
trial Just commenced involves the solu-
ton of what is known as the Ard a
mont murder mystery" and dates from
August last, when Lieut.. Hambrough
was found dead from gunshot wound,
in a wood near Ardlamont House, near
Ardlamont bay, one Of the lovelieSt
parts Of the Clyde at the entrance OF
the famous Kyles Of Butte, and about
twenty minutes steam from Rothesav,
the loveliest seaside resort in Scotland.
The number of witnesses and reporters
present in court this morning was so
great that few of the general public were
admitted, and those who managed to
get inside the court were relegated to
three rows of seats at the back OF the
gallery. The body Of the court was
divided up into the press side, the wit
for the artists of many papers desrous
of illustrating the incidents OF the trial.
The trial OF Monsou is OF special inter
est to all life insurance companies and
especially to the Mutual Life Insurance
Company, which is interested TO the ex-
tent of 500, 600, as il had two policies
of $50, 600 each un the Bieutenant's life,
policies which ere said to have been
secured through Monson.
Monson, the prisoner, is short, slim,
verV young looking, clean shaven, very
gentlemanly man; be was thoroughly
composed, aud wore long, dark
brown overcoat, from the breast pocket
OF which light silk handkerchief was
tasteiully placed.
The Lord Justice addressed the pris-
oner in a strong, low, monotonous voice,
which could be heard distinctly in every
part of the court room, saying:
lyon have already pleaded not
guilty to the charges brought against
you. Do you adhere to this plea of not
guilty?'"
Monson, the prisoner then arose from
his seat in the docket and turning to-
wards the Lord Justice, he said, IN a
clear and steady voice: 81 do, my
Lord"
The work of selecting a jury to try
the prisoner was then quickly proceed
ed with, and fifteen "gooo men and
true" were soon obtained and sworn TO
do their duty. The prisoner was no-
ticed to watcn the selection OF the jury
with the keenest attention; not move
ment, an expression or word upon the
part Of any of the jurymen escaped him
snd he eagerly. scanned their faces as
they took seats in the jury box, evil
dently weighing over Ia his mind his
chances. of convincing one and all OF the
iurymeAOf his innocence.
The first witness called was James
Brand, a civil engineer, who with the
aid of map gave full description II
Ardlamont house and the grounds SUI
rounding it. Mr.. Brand also gave IN
the most minute detail the me6sure
ments OF the distances from place to
place. where the body was found to the
various trees and surrounding spots.
Much importance seemed 10 be attach
ed to the evidence Of Civil Engineer
Brand.
