The imprint of every bloody finger,
showing that the murderer had satu-
rated his hands in the life blood of his
victim, endeavoring possibly to stifie
her cries. The pOSt.mortem eXamina-
tiOn showed that the woman's skull had
been fractured, and that her nose and
the upper jaw were crushed in and
broken. The police are of the opinion
that the murderer, after shooting the
woman, struck her in the head with the
butt of the revolver and then beat her
about the mouth and nose with it, to
insure the success Of his crime.
The buffalo robe was found under the
woman. Apparently she had been lifted
out and laid upon the fur, after which
the murderer got back into the carriage
and drove back to town. 1t appears
that she received a note during the
morning of the fatal day, which evil
IDENTIFY arranged for a meeting with
some party unknown at the present
time. 1t was at first supposed that the
note was sent her by travelling man
named Harvey AFFORD, but it turned
out that such was not the case At any
rate, when evening came, Miss Cling
went to the West hotel, and a horse and
carriage was sent there to her by Coos
man, the liveryman. AT few minutes
past O'Clock she proceeded to the cor
ner of Fifth street and First avenue
north, where she was met by some per-
son, evidently the man who is wanted

off. A woman living within fifteen
rods of the place where the body
was discovered states that she
heard SHOT at about O'Clock.
statement bears it out, that the couple
drove directly to the spot where the
murder was committed. Sergeant
Getchell also says he passed horse and
carriage answering to the description of
the one III which Miss Cling took the
ride, near the intersection of Chicago
avenue and Lake street, some time be-
fore o'clock.
That the murder was committed by
some person we'll acquainted with the

the city could not so readily have found

NOW THE INCOME TAX.
Appropriation Is Needed for Its
Collection.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. - Secretary
Carlisle had a conference today with
Commissioner Miller, of the internal
revenue bureau, at which were dis
cussed the regul ations recently pre-
pared to govern i'll the collection OF the
income tax. The regulations are very
lengthy, and cover every question
which is likely to arise in the adminis-
tration of the law. They are not, how
ever, likely 20 be promulgated for some
days yet, as the secretary has granted
the request of some gentlemen to be
heard before the regulations are finally
approved.
Secretary Carlisle Is arranging the
machinery for the collection of the In
come tax with evident confidence that
the necessary funds for its operation
will be forthcoming in the near fnture.
He has submitted an estimate Of $780,
900 for the employment of 303 additional
deputy collectors, ten extra revenue
agents and other expenses in the execu-
ton of the statute, and is now acting
with the expectation that congress will
speedily provide the sum required. This
estimate is in addition to the $4,000
already appropriated for stationery,
printing, etc. Secretary Carlisle made
only incidental reference to the income
tax In his annual report submitted to
congress today. and it is probable that
he has reserved it as subject for a
special communication to the approprf-
alton committee.

Senate Finance Committee Dis
cuss Tariff and Currency.
WA sHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The commit
tee on finance was in session for an hour
today, but did not agree to any course of
action on any of the more important
financial or tariff bills before the senate.
The meeting was largely informal, and
was devoted in the main to an exchange
Of views upon the free raw material
bills and the presidents currency
recommendations. Some of Senator
Petfer's financial measures were taken
up and adverse reports unanimously
agreed upon. 1t is understood that there
was very free discussion of the sugar
tariff bill. The Democratic members
expressed desire to take the bill up in
the senate for consideration, but while
not making specific objections to the
sugar bill the Republican members Of
the committee intimated that the ma
jOrity Of the Republican senators would
stand against any piecemeal amend
ments of the tariff bill at present. Ref
ereIce was also made to the free alcohol
bill, with like result. 1t appears that
the meeting was more important for
what it tailed to accomplish than for
what it did accomplish.

FREE COAL AND IRON
Ca0se Lively Debate--No De-
ciSi0n as to Course Of
Action Made.
SENATE AND HOUSE WORK.
Routine Matters Occupy the
Entire Session in Both
Bodies.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The Demo
Gratis of the senate spent about three
hours in caucus today and then ad-
IOurned without taking action to meet
again Thursday next after the adjourn
ment OF the senate. The entire time
was devoted TO a discussion Of the sltu-
alton and to the WiseSt course of action
for tile Democratic party during the
present session of congress. There
were numerous speeches. but they
were generally devoid of features Of
especial interest. 70 quote the lam
guage of one who was present almost
every senator present talked during the
caucus, and each advocated his own
hobby. This consumed the entire time,
and no opportunity was given for ac
ton.
AS matter of fact, when the caucus
adjourned at o'clock there were not to
exceed twenty members present, not
enough to decide upon course in a
way that would be binding, if those
present had been sc disposed. Hence
an adjournment was taken without ac-
ton, and the steering committee went
into session.
The entire discussion was based on q
series of resolutions presented by Sen
atOr Daniel, of Virginia, in the shape
of suggestions. declaring for clOture,
committing the patty to an abandon-
ment OF all efforts to amend the tariff
law, and 10 an effort to reform the cur
rency in accordance with the Sugges-
tiOns in the presidents message.
These resolutions opened a wide
range of debate, in which many SEN
ators participated. The principal
speeches were made by Senators Voor-
hees, Harris, Vest, Morgan, Pugh and
Ransom. Senator Voorhees, opened the
talk with a suggestion to the effect that
the wisest course lay in the abandon-
ment of any effort to pass the free raw
material bills (SO-caled), because Of
the evident determination of the Re-
publicaGs to SEeyent action. Senator
Vest in his sDeeet1 showed an inclina-
tiOm towards clOture, cOntending that
if the Democrats did not adopt it the
Republicans would when they should
come into power. Senator Morgan
made probably the longest speech of
the session III preSentin a plea for a
liberal allowance Of time for the consid-
eTa;iOn of the Nicaragua canal bill.
While no action on any question was
taken by the caucus the prevailing sem
timent after the close of the caucus
seemed to be that the ultimate decision
of the caucus would be adverse to the
entire series Of propositions presented
by Senator Daniel. The sentiment fa-
vora5le to clUture seemed quite evenly
divided, and there are reasons for be-
lieying that it might be agreed upon
but for the~fact that the Democratic
party will soon be in the minority in the
senate, circumstance which led some
to advise against the change who had
heretofore been considered favorable TO
II. There WAS also strong bill, as re-
ported by the finance committee, strik-
ing out all diiferentials on sugar and
leaving d straight revenue duty of 40
per cent ad valorem, but it was pointed
out that if the attempt should be made
in this direction it would open up the
entire tariff question.

Armies of the Tennessee, Ohio and

amendment reducing the appropriation
to $4,000, the bill was passed. Mr..

the conference report on the printing
bill.
Mr.. Richardson occupied more
than twohours in explaining the
minute details of the conference re-
port, which was subsequently vigorously
attacked by Mr.. Dunn, of New Jersey,
on the ground that the bill would clothe
the joint committee on printing with
inordinate power. both in the matter of
patronage and control of the printing
OF public documents. After further
debate the report went over and the
house at $3.50 p. IN. adjourned until to-
morrow.

KOLB'S SCHEME
To Get the Republican House to
Aid in Seating Him.

Ala In seating him.
MoNTG oMERY, Ala, Dec. Al. G.
Manning, member of the Legislature,
q prominent PopuliSt in the state and
one of Kolb's advisers. today gave out
a portion of KoIb's programme. He
said: "kolb will issue certificates of
election as governor de jure to Goodwin,
Howard, the two Aldriches and Robin
son as congressman from this state. How
ard will also have one from Oates. His
seat is undisputed. The programme is
to have the Republican house first de-
cline to seat either set of representa-
tives on the ground that both sides are
provided with certificates signed by the
governor of Alabama. The only way
that either can be seated then is by
means of a resolution. 1t is then pro-
posed that Howard shall offer resolu-
ton to seat the anti-DemOcratic repre-
sentatives, two of whom are Republic
ans and three PopuliSts, and Re-
publican house is expected to seat
them pending the termination of the
test This would make the regularly
elected congressman the contestants
and throw the burden of proof upon the
Democratic side. This plan, 1t is fig
ured, would afford temporary indorse
ment of Kolb as governor, and would be
source OF trouble TO the Oates admin
istration. A petition will then be cir
culated In every part OF the state
calling upon congress to inveSti-
gate Alabama elections, and beg
ging for special act to restore i'll
Alabama Republican form Of govern
ment. Numerous affidavits affirming
that Kolb was elected, but deprived OF
his seat by force. will also be presented
TO congress. Reese will be also given
certificate of election by Kolb as United
States senator, and will contest with
Morgan. Knights bill to punish poll
ticai usurpers and their abettors, how
ever, will be rushed through the gen.
eral assembly, and will become a law
by Friday, it is estimated. and Its en-
forcement will call for the imprison-
ment of all the parties.

himself at the chiefs Office accompanied

short time.
Hayward was taken back to the
mayors office and was put through a
course of rigid crOss-eXalnination. He
had Assistant County Attorney Hall
and the mayor at him. Finally Mr..
Hall became wearied, but not so the

hours and hours. Court StenOg-
rapher Hitchcock was present and
took down all the testimony. Hayward
went over his entire connection with
the dead dreSsmaker, but owing to
the latenesS OF the hour, the star session
came TO an end. 1t was impossible to
learn the exact nature Of the testimony.
He aid, however, deny strenuously that
he knew aught of the murder, except
what he had been told and read in the
newspapers. He had passed the even-
ing at the Grand opera house in COM
pany with MISS Bartleson. He clearly
proved his statements in this particular.
Fred Eastman and Hal Watson came
down to the city hall and testified they
had seen him at the opera house in
company with the lady mentioned.
