SURRENDERED.

j. II. Gibbs, who, two weeks since,
killed Charles johnson near Buck
horn, n,surrendered yesterday to Deputy
Hugh Myers, who brought the pris-
oner here last evening. He is having
q preliminary hearing before COM
missioner Gibbons today.
1t is said that recent developments
have brought forth strong exteDuni-
ing circumstances which show that
the killing was not tho cold-blooded
murder it was first reported to have
been.
johnson was a stranger. and it i.
said had harrassed Gibbs in mRn,
ways, especially by abusing his wte
few days prior to the killing.
He left a considerable bunch OF
stock horses, which are still held
awaiting legal claimants. Nothing is
known of his antecedents. 1t appears
to those who are acquainted with al
tho circumstances surrounding the
affair that johnson was a possible
bad man who was endeavoring 20
cover up his identity.

FIFTY.rHI RID CONGRESS.
In the House.

WASHINGTON, May 9-In the house to-
day the speaker presented "A resolution for
the printing of s. 900 copies of the eulogies
of the late Randall Lee Gibson. senator
from Louisiana. and Mr.. Richardson asked
UNANIMOUS consent for its consideration.
No objection WAS made. but Mr.. Reed and
Mr.. Burrows took occasion to express a
hope that stop would soon be put TO this
useless expenditure of money. Mr.. Bur
rows thought members of congress never
read the eulogies, bat either gave them
away or threw them away.
The house bill granting to the Columbia
Irrigation company the right of way
through the Yaquimi Indian reservation
was passed.
At Los D. m. Mr.. Cummings, in charge
OF the naval appropriation bill, moved that
the house go into committee of the whole
to consider the bill. BY agreement the
debate was limited TO seven hours, three
and a-half hours on each side. The house
then went into committee of the whole
Prior to going into committee OF the whole
Mr.. Springer, chairman of the committee
on banking and currency, reported favor
ably his bill to suspend the taxation of
ten per Cent On state bank issues during
money stringencies, and gave notice he
would call up the bill for consideration =
week from today.
Mr.. Black Dem. Tenn wanted to turn
back into the treasury the sum of $64@ 600
which was re-appropriated for torpedo
boots, and asked MIR. Cummings whether
the safety or dignity of the country would
be imperIlled if the construction of these
torpedo boats was deferred until the con-
dition or the treasury was better?
Mr.. Cummings thought it was as nee
essary to build War vessels in anticipation
of war as it was to build fire engines in
anticipation of fire.
Without action on the amendment the
committee arose and the house at 4:30 ad-
journed.

COXEY HEARD,
The Leader Before the House COMMITTEES
on Labor-He Presents His Gaze.

WASHINGTON. May 9-There was an m
usually large attendance of the members
Of the house committee on labor at its
meeting to day, drawn there largely by
the ex pectation that General Coxey would
probably be in attendance to speak on
Representative McGann's resolution for
the appointment of joint committee of
the sena tie and house to investigate the
cause of the prevailing industrial depres-
sion. The general was early at the capi-
tol, in company with Col. a Z. Redstone.
Of Washington. Mr.. CoXey presented pc
tition from the Com I'm onweal army that he
and Carl Browne be permitted to address
the committee in behalf of the Coxey bills.
for the construction of good roads. and for
the issue of non-interest bearing bonds.
Coxey supplemented the reading os the
petition with brief statement and then
answered questions put TO him by mem bers
of the committee.
There are" said he. billions of dollars
worth of improvements to be made
throughout the country, and there are
millions of men to make them. There is
but one thing standing in the way, and
that is the lack of money"
Continuing, he said the passage of his
two bills would solve the Industrial de-
preston. He asked for 90 per cent of the
people the same privileges that are now
enjoyed by per cent, namely, the national
banking class, who alone are represented
in congress

Coxey for proof of this assertion. Have

Sugar Still Leads in Activity Market
is Generally Dull.

NEW YORK, May 9-The chief interest
today in the Stock exchange was conferred
in Sugar. General Electric, Distilling,
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and st.
Paul. Lead was moderately active, but
the rest of the list was intensely dull.
The shares named are given in the order
of their activity, which places Sugar III
the lead. This usually mercurial property
was exceptionally steady today. Afesr
loss of IS per cent. at the opening on
heavy pressure to sell, the fluctuations
during the rest of the day were confined
within a per cent. limit. Large blocks
of Distiling stock came on the market
and there being no support the stock broke
IL to 255. No depressing rumors
were present 10 account for sales,
but there was no particular desire on
the part of any one to buy the
stock and the closing price was within 4
of the lowest point touched. General
Electric opened Is per Cent higher and
then sagged off gradually under steady
selling until decline of Is had been re-
corded. There was some buying of the
shares in the late dealings and the closing
price was "a per cent above the lowest.
REPORTS of rate cutting and the decline in
wheat affected the grangers unfavorably
and there were selling orders from the
west, based presumably on these condi-
tons Burlington and Quincy was also
sold by Boston on the revival of the ru-
mors touching the decrease in tho dividend
rats. The decline on the day, however,
only ranged from Il to the latter in
Northwest. National Lead fell off 4 in the
morning owing to trading on sales of stock

to be declared, a rumor 60 that effect hav-
ing been circulated some days ago. A
rally of q was made in the late transac-
tions. In the rest OF the market specula-
ton was dull and the change on the
day merely fractional. The market closed

CHICAGO. May 9.-Wheat had more
friends today and closed Is cent higher.
Crop damage in California and rumors OF
Argentine financial trouble caused a
moderately bullish feeling. but free selling,
lower cables and large northwestern re-
reipts prevented a marked advance. Corn
closed u cent higher and oats q cent
higher, but provisions finished lower all
round.
In wheat the opening transactions were
at trife advance and after rallying 5s@a
cent, worked back q cent, rallied 1s@A
cent, changed some, ruled firm and closed
steady. The market advanced on the Cal
ifornia crop damage and the Argentine
financial troubles, it being supposed
that with n panic at the latter place,
wheat shipments would be next TO impos-
sible owing to the difficulty in negotiating
exchange. Cables however, were dull and
disappointing and northwestern receipts
were about twice IS large as year ago,
both of which were factors in checking
any further advance.
The corn trade was only moderate and
the fluctuations We're within ss91z cent
range. The feeling was rather bulllsh.
Teday's receipts were only 102 cars and
this seemed TO be the principal factor that
WAS productive of strength.
In oats there was good trade and a
strong and higher market. The buying
was liberal and prices after opening Is TO
y cent higher, advanced a OK more, but
receded 1s@ss and closed quiet.
With u decline in prices for live hogs at
the yards. provisions opened weak and
lower, and then fuctuated within very
narrow range during the first hours OF the
session. with the tendency downward.
Later on the offerings became more free,
,he packers selling. Shortly before the
end of the session there was u partial reac-
ton on little buying, with the closing
steady all around.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 80 cars; corn, $40 cars; oats, 2l0
cars. Hogs, %, 600 head.

COXEY SURPRISED.
His Camp Declared Nuisance and He
Given Forty.Eight Hours to Move.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The District COM
missiouers have decided that COxey Is
maintaining "a nuisance by keeping the
men in their present camp and have given
him forty-eight hours to abate the nui-
sance. This action was taken on the adj
vice OF S. Il. Thomas, attorney for the Dis
trict, and was the result of conference
be- ween thecommiss oners, Health officer
Hammet, and Chief of Police Moore, to-
day. The ACCESSIBILITY of applying to the
courts for an injunction against Coxey was
considered but The attorney reported that
such proceeding was unnecessary, as he
could be prosecuted in the police court for
violating the health ordinances. The forty
eight hours notice dates from o'clock p.
N. 1t is not likely that Coxey can comply
with the law except by moving his camp
from the square. He expressed an inten-
tion to move when the notice was served
and limited that he might secure an aban-
dOued baseball park near the capitol
known as Capitol park, where congress
could nave oversight of the army.
CoXey expressed surprise at the orders
and said that ne had just engaged n land
scape gardener to mark ous bitches for
sewers in the old place.
