SPECIAL BOND MESSAGE.
CONSIDERED BY THE HOUSE WAYS
AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
and Nothing Was Arrived at
Some of the Objections Urged.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The House
Ways and Means committee took up
the presidents special bond message
at the end of a long session today. So
much difference of opinion made it
self manifest Immediately that bust
ness was postponed until 8 o'clock on
Monday.
Bynum DemocraD. Of Indiana. pro-
posed a resolution to amend the act of
1875 so as to make it authorize the issue
of bonds bearing interest at rate not
to exceed 3 per cent and payable in
gold coin.
Chairman Wilson proposed a resolu-
ton to apply only to the contemplated
issue and empower the secretary of
gold coin, bearing interest at rate
not exceeding per cent.
Reed said: II do not believe in Dor
rowing gold by bonds payable after
thirty years, while. according to the
secretary of the treasury, we are to
have surplus in the treasury soon.''
1t was devolyed that not only the Re
| publicans, but Bryan, Whiting, Wheel
er and Mcmillan DemocraD are OPP
posed to the plan for bonds payable by
stipulation in gold.
LIE lllSCuSSIOH WAS euIueIy lHIOIHldI
and the Republicans bore the leading
part, particularly Mr.. Reed, whose
comments We're numerous.
By the Democratic friends of the
party it was argued Congress was con-
| fronted with the specific question OF
saving for the government some $751;
| 600 900.
| The Republican adversaries con-
tended that a thirty year loan to meet
what the administration, according to
their construction Of its utterances,
represents to be temporary necessity
was inadyisable. They questioned the
policy of negotiating with individual
flnanciers for bond issues and advo-
Gated popular loan of short term
bonds in small denominations which
could be taken by the people of the
country.
Mr. Bynum's resolution contem-
plated bonds payable after one year
and within ten years, but was changed
| to the form given above to apply &c
the thirty year issue just negotiated.
| There was an informal vote taken
upon it, but several members did not
vote and those who responded aye
land mo- in chorus were not noted
Certain Democrats of the committee
lattribute to the Republicans, desire
to avoid q, vote today. Mr.. Hopkins
lof Illinois, says there is no uncer
Itainty about the Republicans, for il
is thought they will not agree to the
Presidents proposition for the reasons
which have been outlined.

and talked over the crime He told of
Miss Ging's gambling propensities, and
said he had some letters and kilograms
showing it. The mayor drove with him
TO his apartments, where Harry Volun-
talily handed over the documents. These
were then offered in evidence. The tele-
grams We're those passing between Harry
and Miss Cling when the former was
gambling in Chicago with her money.
The first two announced winnings of 500
and $500; and the third said: I'VE have
lost all"
The statement read: This is to certify
that L have given Harry L. Hayward S375
to gamble with, win or Iose-Kate Cling.
Then the mayor said he went after
Adry Hayward and drove to the Trust
company where, out OF Adry's box, were
secured the notes Miss Cling had signed.
Harry did not want to give them up,
but the mayor insisted, and finally took
them away with him. The party next
went to Hayward's Office and secured
the life insurance policies and other
documents. While at the Ozark, Hay
ward had shown the officers his revolver
and pointed out that it was loaded all
around and was very clean.
Court then adjourned until Monday.

FAMILY WIPED OUT.
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN THE ISDI,
AN TERRITORY.
Skeletons of the Victims Found in
the Ruins of Their Homes, Which
Had Been Set on Fire to Hide the
Crime,

Ardmore. /. T., Feb. 9.-NeWs was
brought tonight from Bayou. fourteen
miles southwest of here, of what ap-
pears to be the murder of the family
of NJ. M. Tucker, consisting Of him-
self, wife and three children.
The skeletons of the victims were
fouAd in the ruins of their home, which
had evidently been set on fire to cover
up the crimes of robbery and murder.
The murder. if murder it was, was
committed Wednesday night, but was
not discovered until this morning. 1t
is laid at the door of Fred Wilson. a
son-in-law of Tucker, who had often
threatened the dead man. Wilson has
disappeared. 1t was known that Will
son made threats against Tucker,
the cause being that few months
since Tucker caused his arrest on
charge of seduction, his alleged victim
being one of the now dead girls. VII
son was discharged, the government
failing to make out its case.
On termination of the trial Tucker
told friends he feared Wilson would
kill him.

Especial to The HeraId.I

Boise, Feb. 9.-There was no changes
in today's vote FOR senator. The vote
was: Shoup, II; Sweet, 16; Clagett, Is;
Paired, Browne and Hunt, Gamble and
Clark, Glenn and Young.
Representative Crane, chairman OF
the caucus of the nineteen Sweet men.
issued call at the close OF the joint
assembly for a general caucus for both
the senate and house Republicans
The object of the caucus was after
wards stated to be to discuss legisla-
tive matters, the senatorial question to
be strictly excluded. The Shoup men
announced they would not go into the
caucus, refusing to recognize Cranes
right to issue the call, and the call
was withdrawn.
Shoup men asserted they will go into
caucus on legislative matters when all
Republican members sign an agree
ment to that effect. They take the
position that there is at present no.
caucus organization.
Age of Consent.
There was a lively debate in the
senate over the house bill increasing
the age of consent from fourteen to
eighteen years. An amendment was
put through the committee Of the
whole fixing the age at sixteen years.
In the house, the judiciary commit
tee reported back the senate resolution
to amend the constitution by doing
away with district attorneys and sub
shutting county attorneys, with an
amendment decreasing the term of Of
fee from four to two years and
another slashing the salary to from
$500 to $500 a year at the discretion
of the county commissioners. The
resolution will probably pass the
house with these amendments. The
senate will ask for a conference COM
mittee.
The ways and means committee re-
ported the general appropriations bill.
1t carries $593.OO for the expense Of
the state government for 1896 and a
deficiency of $4,000 for 1884.
VIII Slab Appropriations.
Populists and anti-administratiou
Republicans will combine for the pur-
pose Of slashing appropriations unless
the Republicans go into caucus on the
bill.
1t is freely stated that some Of the
Sweet men will hold the bill as a club
over the head of Governor Mcconnell.

"A revolution in Cuba is imminent.
Everything is ripe for it. We have

war against Spain and We can double
it before July l. The cigar makers here
have already given me $5O,00O for the
cause, and are ready to raise 100000
more if necessary. Key West has
given even more generously.
From here so to arouse the pa
triotism of the Cuban Islanders in
Jacksonville, Ocala, Philadelphia and
New York, and then to the Cuban col
onies in South Africa. We shall have
several millions Of dollars in hand be-
fore the summer is over and we can
strike hard for Cuban liberty.
There will never be an attempt to
invade Cuba by her eXiles until there
is a strong uprising from within. Then
they can expect aid from us and we
have the means to help them"

hcr looking at me from the door. We
had three hours to wait, and about half

began:
