TRIAL BY ORDEAL,
A Murderer to Be Confronted With the
Dead Body Of His Victim.

A Murderer to Be Confronted With the
i Dead Body OF His Victim.
Fort SMITH, Ark, Dec. 4.-Along
about the middle of last October T. X.
Miller and Jim Riley were tramping
through the country near here. One
day, it was October II, one of Rileyt
teeth began to bother him and Miller
tried to extract it with rude pair OF
forceps 1t was an awkward Job.
Riley's tooth was broken and his gum
lacerated. The men quarreled. The
next day they quarreled again, and
Miller shot Riley through the body
with pistol ball. November Riley
died.
Miller was not captured until after
Riley's death.
Out of this rather unique murder of
commonplace man by another COM
monplace man there is likely to grow
a sensational trial. 1t is proposed
to try the old Saxon custom of trial
by ordeal.
Ever since Riley's life went out his
body has been lying in the Birnie
Bros morgue. 1t was embalmed by
order of Coroner Kelleam, and is in a
perfect tate Of preservation. Miller
knows nothing of it. He denies the
shooting, and there were no eye wit
nesSes save Riley. 1t is stated on the
very best of authority that the prose
cution proposes to suddenly bring
Miller face to face with his victim in
court in the hope of breaking him
down and forcing a COME ssion.

CRISP ON LEGISLATION.

The Speaker Says That Something Must
BE Done With the Financial Question.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Speaker Crisp
does not believe that the coming
short session of congress will be pro.
ductive of much legislation. 1t is
very important, he says, that there
should be some legislation on
hnanceS 81 am not prepared to state
what If anything, may be done at
this session, but it must be apparent
to every one that the present situa-
ton should not be permitted to re-
main long. Whatever suggestions the
administration has to make will be
awaited with great interest. Whether
or not Mr.. Carlisle will present 4
proposition which will meet with
general approval, no one can say until
the message comes in. A financial
system which puts it in the power of
any one to deplete the treasury of
gold and to compel the government
to increase its interest-bearlng obi
cations by the issue of bonds is
vicious and should be corrected as
speedily as possible"
The speaker does not think there
Will be any tariff legislation during
this session except to correct the
alcohol schedule of the present law.
Further legislation, ne says, rests

MESSAGE OPINIONS.
VIEWS OF SENATORS AND CON-
GRESSMEN.
They Are Rather Shy About Expressing
Opinions on the Presidents Financial
Recommendations - What Senator
Stewart Says.

WASHINGTON, Dec 4.-Speaker Crisp
had no opportunity to examine the
message owing to the frequent inter
ruptions, and was not prepared to ex-
press an opinion until he had done so.
Mr.. Wilson, chairman of the ways
and means committee, expressed his
great qualification over the presi-
dents vigorous recommendation of
the free coal and iron bills sent to
the senate, and his endorsement of
the recommendation for the abolition
of the differential on refined sugar,
Mr.. Bryan, Democrat, Nebraska,
said he was opposed to any financial
scheme which would give private in
dividuals the power to issue money.
Mr.. Reed of Maine, had nothing to
say with regard to the message.
Mr.. Burrows of Michigan, had no
comment to make.
General CatchingS, Democrat, of
Mississippi one of the committee on
rules, strongly indorsed the presi-
dents financial views.
Of the Democratic members of the
senate committee on finance, Senators
Voorhees,, Harris and Vest asked to
be excused from expressing any opin-
ion on the financial views advanced
by the president, and Senator Jones
of Arkansas, would only repeat what
he has heretofore said, that he did
not believe any financial legislation
would be possible during the present
session. Republican members of the
committee were almost as disinclined
to talk as their Democratic col
leagues.
Senator Sherman would go no
further than to say the message con-
tanned nothing striking.
Senator Allison declared it was not
a time for Republicans to take the
lead.
Senator German, while declining to
directly discuss the recommendation
of the message, said that at the short
session which was now beginning,
action would depend largely upon
the willingness of the Republicans to
permit anything to be done.
Senator Brice, Democrat OF Ohio
The Baltimore plan strikes me as
pure dream. It's adoption would GER
tainly demoralize the finances of the
country.
Senator Teller, Republican, Colo
rado-I cannot see that the message
offers any relief to the country, and
it appears to me as if the president
failed to comprehend the financial or
political condition.
Senator Stewart-The financial plan
in Mr.. Cleveland's message, stripped
OF verbiage, means that the United
States shall give bankers SIS for
S92.5O Any bank that will deposit
$3.50 of legal tender, whether green
backs or treasury notes, will receive
SIS of our government money, a
cunning way of retiring greenbacks.
