Sweeping the Senate.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-For the third
time in short space OF five weeks the
Senate met today only to hear the an
nouncement of another gap made in
its ranks by death. a fortnight ago to-
day funeral ceremonies were neld ID
the Senate chamber over the remains
OF Senator Vance of North Carolina.
Three weeks before the like sad cere-
mo.ial had taken place over the re-
mains of Senator Colquitt of Georgia.
And today the announcement was
made OF the death of Senator Stock
bridge of Michigan, who died yester-
day in Chicago. The other two Sena
lors had died in Washington. The
meeting Of the Senate today had been
postponed from II q. N. to noon, so as
to give Senators an opportunity OF
paying their last tribute of respect to
the memory of Mrs. Morgan, wife OF
the Alabama Senator, whose funeral
took place this morning; and in the
Chaplain's opening prayer they were
reminded of the death of their assocl-
ate from Michigan, whose desk and
chair, in the outer row of Republican
seats, we're covered with BLACK cloth.
An unusually large number of Senators
we're present at the opening prayer.
The formal reading of yesterdays jour
nal was dispensed with and then Sena'
tor Mcmillan, the colleague Of the de-
ceased Senator, made the announce
ment of Stockbridge's death. The
usual resolutions were then offered BY
Mcmillan and were agreed to. They
expressed the great sorrow OF the Sen
ate at the announcement of Mr.. Stock
bridges death and provide for a COM
mittee of seven Senators to attend the
funeral at Kalamazoo, Mich. Senators
Mcmillan, Frye, Washourn. Cullom,
Jones of Arkansas, Gibson and Ban
chard were appointed such committee
and then, at 1910, the mate adjourn
ed until tomorrow at II q. n.

Su.cte OF q HrIsonsr.

COLUMBIA, S. c., May 2.-The quiet
town of Prosperity, located on the line
of the Colu nbia, Newberry and Lau-
rens, and Richmond and Danville roads
about forty miles from Columbia, was
yesterday thrown into considerable
state of excitement, so a gentleman
who arrived in the city last night says,
by the suicide Of negro prisoner in
the station house, by hanging. The
fellow was named Dan Sheppard. He
was powerful built mulatto. On
Monday evening be was arrested for
assault and battery and attempted
criminal assault upon the person of his
step.daughter, Mary Bouknight, a
mulatto girl about 20 years Of age. The
city authorities placed him in the@sta-
ton house for the night. He told Town
Marshal White when be locked him up
that be ''reckoneG they would hang him
this time." He meant by this that he
feared serious consequences. Once be-
fore he had been arrested on the same
charge, but his wife being the oaly
witness against him he was discharged
from custody. The negro seemed to
nave been thoroughly resolved upon
self-destructlon. He proceeded after he
vas locked up to make himself a
rope out of the crocus sack covering
on the bed, tying it securely around
his neck. He then tied the other end
to the grating of the window, which
was no higher than himself. Then he
knelt down and choked to death de
lloerately. When the town marshal
went to the Station house yesterday
morning to carry him his breakfast he
found the fellow in STOPPING attitude
MS head hanging over on bis breast,
cold and death The coloner held an in
quest and q verdict of death by stran-
guIation Tas rendered The negroes of
the town seem to be glad the negro's
career is ended, for he was considered
d desperate fellow.

No Likelihood of an Agreement.
Goes Back TO both Houses.

Washington. July 16.--The Democrat
lie members of the conference commit
tee adjourned earlier than usual today
and the situation at adjournment. from
the best Information, was that the
conferees We're far from an agreement
and in short time a disagreement
would be reported 10 the senate and
house. The question which has been
agitating the members seems TO be
just what kind OF report to make.
but the impression seemed to be that II
would be OF general disagreement
with perhaps some OF the main points
specified. 1t had not been decided to
call in the Republican members of the
conference when adjournment was
taken, but II is possible that the full
conference may meet tomorrow or next
day. II was evident from what could
be learned that the meeting showed
tendency to get farther apart than be-
fore and the discussion OF the main ques-
lions showed that there would have
to be Instructions from the respective
houses before the conferees would feel
warranted In including from the posi-
lions they have taken from the first.
When the conference adjourned one
OF the conferees summed up the stu
alton as follows; I'VE have accom-
plished absolutely nothing today. We
have not advanced an inch, aud after
being together all day we are exactly
where We were last Saturday night.
There is no truth whatever In the re-
port that we have reached an agree
ment on sugar on the contrary no ar
rangement IL even In sight. While
there has been talk Of calling In the
Republican members on some questions
yet It has amounted 10 an agreement
up to the time OF Adjournment. In fact
It seems impossible TO reach agree
ments on anything OF Importance.
Neither ia there any present prospect
that we would be nearer to on agree
ment at the end OF the week than we
are at the beginning"
In such a case there will be nothing
left but TO report disagreement, and
II each house insists upon its bill, then
further conference VIII be ordered.
II is stated that the Democratic mem-
bcrs of the conference committee do
not care to make a report until the
return OF Speaker Crisp. The Texas
and louisiana members OF the house,
who intended to meet and take action
against the continuation OF the Hawaii
ian treaty. postponed the meeting until
tomorrow
