ond of the defendants in the Wood creek

killed December 2. Isas. The jury was
completed ct p. m. today. at which time
the defense moved TO adjourn in order THAI
the jury might examine the scene of the
murder before any testimony was taken.
The motion was granted, so that the trial
will fairly open tomorrow afternoon. It
was expected that the court would sen.
tenee John White today in accordance
with the verdict of murder in the first de-
gree returned by the jury at the June
term. but as that event did not occur the
impression is that sentence will be deferred
until the conclusion of the elder Robin
sons trial, that 1t may have no prejudiciaI
effect. Robinson is defended by Lewis

ney and Col. T. v. Eddy represent the
state. The general opinion has prevailed
that Whites conviction decided the fate
OF all four defendants. but Robinson has

Repeal Of tn. Federal Election Law.

WASHINGTON CITY, Sept. 12--The house
committee on election of president, vice
president and members of congress has
ordered a favorable report on the bill re-
pealing the Federal election law. The
Democrats expect to give it exclusive atten-
ton IN the house after Thursday. A Bit
ter partisan fight is expected.
The bill, which was drawn up by Tucker
of Virginia. repeals all existing statutes or
parts thereof reiatir in any manner to
supervisors of elections and special deputy
marshals. The majority report will deal
with the rights of federal interference at
the polls AID the question of policy. The
question of Dayenportism IN New York
will not be gone into in the report, al
though il will probably figure in the de-
bate. The question of expense 10 dealt
with vaguely, an estimate of 81, so, 900
being given as the quadrienniai cost
of the present laws. The debate
will probably commence Friday or
Saturday. The Democratic leaders are de-
termined to push IL through, aud the Re-
publicans affirm their intention of fighting
II to the bitter end. Some of the repeal
Democrats of the house fear that the
creating OF bitter partisan feeling at this
time will have a disastrous effect in the
struggle for the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman law. as they depend largely
on Republican votes 10 aid them. The
Democrats in charge of the Tucker bill.
however. think il will have no effect on
the silver fight. and have resolved at any
rate to take chances.

THE TARIFF on WOOL.


Manufacturers VI Advise Cougressmea Not
to Destroy the Industry.
WAsHIs6ros CITr. Sept. IA large
delegation OF wool men appeared before
the ways and means committee today.
Charles II. Clark, of Philsdalphia, repre-
senting the Manufacturers Club, said he
believed the depression affecting manu-
featuring 10 be due in part to the arpre-
hension entertained by manufacturers
that there would be fulfilIment of the
threat of radical changes in the duties
on imported materials. Manufact-
urers were afraid to operate their
mills, merchants were afraid to buy.
Many mills had ceased operations COM
pieteiy, much greater number we're run
ming upon short time, and many had al
ready been compelled TO reduce wages.
He expressed the opinion that relief may
be afforded instantly by an assurance that
the committee would not assaii the tariff
law in such q manner as TO expose manu-
facturers to unequal competition from
Europeans working with . lower wage
scale.
S. ID. n. North, of Boston, read resolu-
tions adopted by the National Wool Manu-
facturers' Association, which lauded the
Mckinley bill and deprecated the passage
of any measure to reduce the tariff sched-
ules on wool
Theodore Justice. OF Philadelphia, as
suined that it was the intention Of the
committee TO put wool on the free list. and
anticipated that the transaction would
destroy the second largest agricultural
industry in the country. He declared the
cost of transporting wool from one por-
ton Of this country to another was 12 per
cent. greater than the cost Of Transports
ton from foreign countries to America.
He said the wooden mills throughout the
country were being closed daily, and at
tributed IL to the fact that President
Cleveland had said that within a few
months wool would be placed on the free
list.
