Democratic Senators Disturbed Over
the SITUATION.

Democratic Senators Disturbed Over
the Situation.
WASHINGTON, Fab 22.-The Demo-
cratic members Of the senate are much
disturbed over the situation concerning
the tariff bill. They used their half
holiday today to make a decided effort
to agree upon the features OF the bill, SO
az to insure it's passage. They did not
make any marked progress and will con-
tinue their efforts tomorrow and satur-
day undisturbed by other official bust
ness, as the senate has adjourned until
Monday.
A call for Democratic caucus on the
tariff bill, for Monday at 10 a. M, was
circulated today. Whether it shall be
considered seriously, will depend upon
the success of the Democratic senators
In reaching an agreement without this
conference. The call was circulated
quite vigorously for short time during
the early part OF the session, and after
about Is names had been secured the
effort was suspended. 1t was presented
as rule to senators known to be urging
changes in the bill, the result being that
many OF those in accord with the sub
committee on tariff were ignorant of the
TACT that the call was in circulation.
There is no doubt that sufficient num-
Der of signatures have been secured to
insure the calling of caucus, as only
five are required for that purpose, but it
would appear that the signers do not
intend pressing the call ii satisfactory
agreement can be arrived at without q
caucus. There is little doubt that Cor
man is in accord with the movement for
caucus. He was present at the con-
ference earlier in the day in which the
circulation of call was decided upon.
Six senators took part in the conference
--Gorman, Butler, Hill. Murphy, Brice
and Gallery.

1t has been nearly two years
since the death of Rouse, who
was myeteriously murdered In a
quarter of the city set apart Tor a
certain class. 1t now seems that
there is another case somewhat
analogous to the last.

man known az "Mitch" with the
murder of John M. Slaughter.
Slaughter had on Friday afternoon
engaged room in the quarters occu-
pied by the two people now under
arrest. This was near the saloon
of Will Bell. 1t seems that they
had been in the habit of buying
beer from Bells saloon. Late Fri
day night, however, the woman re-
turning with the beer, was heard to
say, "Take this Mitch, and do as l
tell you" Mitch disappeared into
the room occupied by Slaughter and
soon returned with the empty glass.
Several similar trips were made and
Slaughter was soon reported in a
dying condition.
The theory is that Slaughter was
drugged, and the note on his person
was written by the woman as the
handwriting is Identical with that
on copy of a telegram in the
Western Union office which she had
written.
Slaughter is reported to have had

he went down there. Ali this was

ENDEAVoR.. NOTES.
Everything in Readiness for the Con-
yentiOn Tomorrow.

Everything is now in readiness
for the convention. The tent is up,
the songs are arranged, the railroad
have done their part, the Endeavor-
ers have done theirs, and all are
now waiting for the grand time they
will have during the convention.
All day long letters and kilograms
have been pouring in upon the com
mittee of '94 announcing the coming
of delegates that heretofore were
uncertain. Tonight's trains will
begin to place delegates in Waco
and in the morning the city will be.
gin to swarm. The trains tomorrow
will be loaded to the limit. Austin
alone will have seventy five from
their district, ard added to this the
San Antonio delegation that comes
on the same train will make quite a
crowd at the depot tomorrow after
noon. Fort Worth and Dallas dele
gates from the north will arrive in
the morning. The San Antonio
delegates mean business. They have
issued circular giving the reasons
why San Antonio should have the
convention Of '95, and will work
hard to get it.
The choir will meet tonight at
Padgitt's Park, at the tent, for
rehearsal. The lights have been
put in and all the musicians and
singers are called to meet there.
This will be start towards the con-
vention, and will be the most in.
spring part of it. Christian En-
deavor Hymns No. will be used
and the committee in order to pro-
tect themselves will have to sell the
book, and if the purchaser does not
want it after the convention ad.
journs, he may return it, in good
order, and the money will be re-
funded. If he desires to keep the
book the amount he pays for it will
go towards spreading the Endeavor
movement.
The committee on homes need
more homes. Let the people of
Waco show their accredited hospi.
tality and come to the rescue.
Boarding house keepers are re
quested to send in their names,
addresses and rates per day, and
the number they can take. Those
who have rooms and cannot fur.
nish meals can 80 signify and rooms
will be acceptable. 1t was ar.
ranged today to have a restaurant
on the grounds and the delegates
and Waco people can get their
meals there at city prices.
