Washington, Dec. s.-The weeks
programme in the Senate will depend
largely. il not entirely. upon the de-
cislon in the Democratic Steering com
mittee with reference to the amend
ment in which the bills preferred by
the Democratic caucus are to be taken
up This point was left entirely to the
Steering compfttee. which Senator
German, its chairman. says will prob
ably meet Monday. The committee
will then. at some SUBSEQUENT meet
ing, decide whether the Nicaragua
bin, bankruptcy bill, the New Mexico
and Arizona bills, the Indian territory
bill or the resolution for the election
of senators by the people shall have
precedence. 1t is not supposed by any
one that a currency bill will be given
first place, for The reason that no cur
rency bin has yet been formulated.
The friends of the other bills viii IN
questionably press their respective
measures. and it. is as yet Impossible
to say which Of the bills mentioned
viii receive preference.
While the committee is undecided,
Senator Morgan will be improving his
opportunity TO press the claims of the
Nicaragua bin He has given notice
of his intention to call the bill up on
Monday, and he will open the pro-
ceedings of the day after the disposal
of morning business with a speech de-
voted to the explanation Of the merits
of the bill. 1t is probable that this
speech will consume the greater part
of the day. Mr.. Morgan will speak, re-
gardless of what the caucus commit
tees decision may be, or whether there
shall be any decision previous to Mon
day afternoon. The speech made, the
decision of the committee win prob
ably be allowed to coatrol as TO
whether the canal bills shall continue
to receive attention or shall be deposed
by one of the other favored measures.
For the rest Senator Morrill, has
given notice of an intention to present,
as is his usual custom at the begin
ming of a congressional session, his
views on some public question, gener-
ally as this year, related to the ma
tional finances.
Senator Hunton of Virginia, has al
so given notice of a speech for Thurs
day on the establishment OF a national
university. 1t is also considered prob
able that there will be some executive
work during the week, especially if
the japanese treaty should be re-
ported.

Coblentz, warden of the state peniten-
tiary. committed suicide last night in
his private office at the peni'tent1ary

sign. This he refused TO DO. Inc
charges were sent TO Governor Nc
! GraW. who arrived here on Friday.
Yesterday Coblentz was summoned pc
! fore the board, and an investigation
of the charges began. 1t developed
that about 100000 grain bags mad been
disposed of and that Coblentz COM
| bined with a number of TRUSTEES at
| the penitentiary, who have been as
sisting him in defrauding the state.
No satisfactory excuse could be given
| for this. ard the governor at once told
| him that there was sufficient charges
against him TO cause his removal and
| that he was no longer warden of the
Washington state penitentiary.
| DEPUTY Warden John Cameron was
| Immediately appointed acting warden.
A warrant was sworn out charging
CobIentz with felonious defalCation Of
state money. This was given to dep
uty sheriff to serve. When the dep
uty went to the wardeu's office the lat
ter met him and said:
Il guess you have a warrant for my
arrest"
The official answered in the affi1Tna-
tive.
Coblentz then. asked permission to
finish his dinner, which the deputy
sheriff granted. CoblentZ turned and
walked into mis- private Office and clos
ed the door.
A moment later a pistol shot was
heard. When the door was opened,
Coblentz was found lying on the floor
with blood flowing from his head in
stream He had placed a pistol TO
his head Immediately behind the right
ear and fired, the bullet passing
through and coming out behind the

His remains will be sent to Arkansas

agent of the treasury department for
number of years, and was engaged
in collecting evidence against opium
smugglers on Puget Sound and on the
sheriff in Arkansas and it was he who
rescued the body of General John M.
Clayton, the Republican congressman

merville Ark, Jan. 20, 1889, from a
crowd of men, and on which account
he afterwards had to flee from the

Have ChIoroformed His Customers
and Then Robbed Them.

Butte, Mont, Dec. 9.-Charles Smith,
a colored barber, was informed against

carrying a bold system of robbery by
chloroforming strangers who got into
his chair, in the barber shop, when he
happened to be alone, and then go
through their pockets and rob them.
His last victim was J. r. Dempsey,
who inhaled SO much of the drug that
he did not recover in the usual time,
and Smith pretended that Dempsey
was dead drunk and dragged him into
a back room, where me was allowed to
recover at his leisure. When he did
so he found that he had been robbed
and complained to the prosecuting at
torney, with the result that an inves-
tigadon developed the facts stated.

San Francisco, Dec. 9.-The storm is
tonight central north of Washington.
The barometric pressure is % inches
higher than this morning. A second
storm was central this morning near
San Francisco and during the day has
moved eastward, causing severe local
storms throughout northern California,

The storms this morning and on Friday
were secondary depressions of the gen

eastward during the past twelve hours,

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 9.-Another
person whose name came in prominence
in connection with the famous political
murder case in which Hon. John M.
Cayton was the assassin's victim, a
crime that startled the entire country
and has to this day remained shrouded

in the death of j. A. Coblentz, who sui
cided at Walla Walla today.
Coblentz was sheriff of Conway
county, Ark, at the time of the famous
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES congressional con-
test, and it was he who apprehended
Clayton on the day previous to the as
sassination with the yadnonItion not to
remain at Plummerville.
Whether or not the advice was given
with any positive knowledge on Cob
lentz's part OF the fate that was in store
for Clayton will never be known.
Coblentz was a prominent figure in
Conway politics.

WILL BE a STRUGGLE.
Income Tax Appropriation VIII

Washington, Dc. 9.-The second half
OF the session of the House promises to
witness a fierce struggle over the IN
come tax, in connection with tire appro-
priation to be Incorporated in the ur-
gency deficiency bill to provide for the
collection of the tax, which begins
January /, 1885.
Mr.. SayerS, chairman Of the appTo-
priations committee, INTENDS to call up
the bill on Tuesday, after the ra.ncad
pooling bill is displS4d Of
Mr.. Bartlett, of New YORK, is at the
head Of the opposition 10 The 23pro-
DrIation, and although the opposition
is not considered strong enough 10 de-
feat the appropriation, it is expected
that the debate viii abound with acri-
m0nious references to the late election,
and that much bad blood will be mani
Tested. The consideration of the in
come tax appropriation may consume
several days.
Tomorrow Is District of Columbia
day, and Tuesday the fate of the pool
ing bill will be decided, as Mr.. Patter-
son, of Tennessee, in charge of the
measure, has given notice that at
O'Clock on that day he viii demand
the previous question. The general opin-
ion is that the bill viii not pass as re-
ported. but will probably carry when
amended so as to give to the inter
state commission absolute control OF
the conditions of railroad pooling and
final authority in the matter of revok-
ing pooling orders.
As soon as the urgency deficiency bill.
which will follow. is out of the way. it
is the intention OF the appropriation

The Nicaragua canal bill will not be
brought up this week.
Thursday next. according to notice

met foul play. Some time in July the

ROMERO DOUBTS 1T.
Takes No Stock in the Stories of the
Reported Conflicts.

Washington, Dec. ct was stated at
the Mexican legation tonight, that no
news had been received concerning the
alleged conflicts between Mexican and
Guaternaian troops. Minister Romero
Thought 1T very doubtful that any such
conflict had taken place.
The trouble between Mexico and Guat-
enala arises out of a boundary dispute,
a large tract of country on the border
being claimed by both nations In order
to settle the matter a. special delegate,
Senior Enlio de Leon, WAS sent to Mex
leo by Guatemala. He reached San Fran
cisco on December 1 and the city of
Mexico five days later and negotfa tons
have been in progress.
Pending discussion, no troops, the
minister says, have been sent to the dis
puted territory, which is almost entirely
uninihabited.
