and reached the caraveis lying at the head
of the line Mr.. Cleveland received the flag

Tragedy at SenatObia.

SENAToBIA, Aug lie. J. Robinson
was arrested and placed in jail here
last Tuesday charged with the murder
OF s. b. Milan last Sunday night.
Stanley Hale, who it is charged ac-
tually did the shooting and who Is
charged jointly with Robinson, to
the surprise of many, came in and
surrendered to the sheriff yesterday.
The trial Of Robinson and Hale took
place today before Justice l.. &. VOL
lard. w. D. Miller, of Sardis, and N.
A. Taylor, of Senatobia, we're counsel
for the accused. Hon. G. d. Stands was
employed TO prosecute. Evidence was
introduced showing that Milan was run
out Of Miss Hale's bed chamber last
Friday night, Miss Hale testifying that
Milan drugged her and entered her
room through the window.
On the following Sunday night Miss
Hale wrote Milan note warning him
to leave the country, that IL he did not
he would be hurt. This Milan refused
to do, and while returning from church
Sunday night swore he would accom-
pany her home. Stanley Hale, brother
of Miss Hale, objected, drew his pisto
and shot Milan to death. 1t is charged
that Robinson furnished Hale the pisto
with which the killing was done. Milan
and Hale are young, unmarried men
| Robinson is married man with ;
family, A conspiracy between Hale ant
Robinson to murder Milan is attempted
to be proven, but as this is only a com
mitting court, full testimony is not ye
in and the result is in doubt. Opinions
as usual, are various.

DULL DEBATE.


The Congressional Programme for the
Week VIII BE Rather Dull.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Congrcss has
settled down to debate with degree
of expedition almost unknown il its
history, and with an apparent deter
mination to do something that prom
ises well for the outcome.
Fortunately for the smajority OF the
senate, am action of the house on the
silver que,tion relieved them from the
necessity of speedy and perhaps ill
advised action. The democratic caucus
committcecharged with the prepara-
ton of olan that shall secure the ad-
herents d the united majority will
therefore commence its labors with
more deiberation than would other
wise have been possible, and it is not
expected now that they will perfect
their woik-which involves consulta-
ton with many senator's at each stage
much lefore the house has acted.
The france committee will probably
wait upon the action of the caucus COM
mittee, and so the silver question is not
likely to figure in formal way in the
proceedings of the senate this week
1t is entirely possible and even I,ob-
able that speeches will be delivered up
on the subject, but if so, they will be
based upon some such resolution as
that introduced by Senator Lodge, call
ing for a repeal of the silver purchase
section of the Sherman. act, and not
upon bill regularly formed by the
finance committee. There is a strong
disposition in some quarters to fill in
the time during the week by the dis
cussion of the Lee Mantle senatorial
election case, which is in privileged
condition and can be called up at any
time to the displacement of other bust
ness.
The programme in the house has beer
definitely fixed by the adoption OF the
order introduced Friday last by Mr.
Bland. The time will be devoted ex
clusively to the consideration of thu
silver question under the rules OF thu
last house governing general debate.
