The Senate Holds a Short Session,
Transacting Little Business.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-There was but
a scattering of Senators present to-day
when the Vice-President called the SEN
ate to order.
At 12:l5 the reading of the journal was
concluded, when messenger from the
House informed the Senate that the
House had passed bills placing coal, iron
ore, barbed wire and sugar on the free
list, in which it asked the concurrence of
the Senate.
Manderson objected to the second read
ing of the free-list bills.
Hill gave notice OF bill repeating all
the income taxes.
The bills will come up tomorrow.
Hale introduced a resolution for print
ing $4,000 copies of the House bill No.
1854, known as the sugar tariff bill.n
Vest protested against this title.
Hale replied that he simply referred to
it by the name by which it would be
known hereafter.
Vest questioned Hale's right to say
what would be the popular designation
of the bill, and declared it an outrage
upon the Senate.
The resolution went over.
Bills were passed promoting Commo-
dore Louis G. Sartori, retired, TO be Rear
Admiral on the retired list, and authoriz-
ing the Soldiers Home managers to ex-
tend outdoor relief to veterans.

SEATTLE. Aug. 14.-Mrs. Philomena
Miller, wife of John Miller, the foreman
matter at the Bay View Brewery, and
her eighteen -months-cld daughter were
brutally murdered last evening by men
who were evidently after $500 which had
been taken home by Miller on Sunday.
After supper Miller left about o'clock
to attend a meeting of the Brewery
Workmen's Union and his two elder
children went out to play in front of the
house. They returned about o'clock to
find the house enveloped in smoke and
their mother no where in sight They
called two women, who discovered the
dead body Of the woman on the floor of
the middle room and the child's body on
bed in the same room. The head and
hands OF the woman were mashed to
pulp. 4 trunk in the front downstairs
room and one in the rear upstairs room
had been ransacked, but one in the front
upper room, containing $500 in gold, had
not been disturbed. Miller fell on his
wife's body in a paroxysm of grief, and
simply rolled in her blood in agony. The
bed-clothes and chairs had been soaked
in coal-oil from broken lamp and fired.
The police believe they have the muir
derer of Mrs. Miller and her baby among
the three men they arrested to-day.
Henry Cramer, a brewer. who was dis
placed at the Bayview by John Miller,
the murdered woman's husbands August
Rother. who lodged with Cramer, and
Louis kiendl, who lodged with Miller,
and whose trunk was the only one not
broken open in the house by the muir
derer. The strongest evidence is against
Cramer, for two inches of the handle of
the hammer with which the crime was
committed had been sawed of, and was
found in his yard with stolen saw He
was skulking about Miller's house on the
evening OF the murder, and when ques-
toned gave contradictory accounts of his
whereabouts that day, some OF his stories
being disproved by the statements of
other wit. .esses. He is said to have
grudge against Miller for taking his place,
and has been out of work for several
weeks. Kiendl had gone to Mlller's house
without money, but after the murder he
opened his trunk and produced an old
sock containing $500 in gold. Rother is
suspected Of knowledge of the crime
from his intimacy with Cramer.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Times has the
following from Port Limon, dated Au-
gust 18th:
The British warship Mohawk has ar
rived here with Chief Clarence and'twelve
refugees aboard. Bluefelds has been re-
taken by 1000 Nicaraguan troops, who
arrived from Rama and Greytown. on
transports flying the United States flag.
On their approach the United States ma
rines who had been on duty on shore re-
turned to their vessel. The resident
Americans, being thus abandoned, be-
came very indignant, and many of them
removed the national flag from their
houses and stamped on it in the streets.
They then hoisted the British flag.
On entering the Government House the
Nicaraguan authorities hauled down and
tore to shreds the Mosquito flag. They
placed under arrest numerous Americans
and Jamaicans suspected of being in
sympathy with Chief Clarence. The
Captain of the Mohawk landed party of
mon and went to the prison and rescued
every one there who claimed British pro-
lection. The Mohawk will await orders
from home. Clarence will remain on
board,
