The Ouestion One which Arouses Much
Feeling I'm the house.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE discus
zion In the house of representatives over
the question of clerks for members is
one which arouses more feeling than
most debates ON legislation of national
consequence. There has been move
ment i'm several congresses to secure
clerks for members, but it was success
fully combatted by the economists, as
their colleagues term them, until the
beginning of the present congress.
Then law was passed which
permitted members to draw not more
than $l6O month during the sessions,
upon certifying to the clerk of the house
that they had expended the sum applied
for for clerical assistance. Even this
innovation met considerable opposition,
although it did not give members of the
house the same advantage which sena-
tors have several years enjoyed, as each
senator has for his assistance q clerk
who is crrried ON the rolls at 81 200 per
annum, unless the senator is chairman
of an important committee, where his
clerk, as clerk OF the committee, receives
greater compensation.
No Doubt of the Need.
The attempt in the house to place
members ON the same plane with sena-
tors in the matter Of clerkships was bit
terly opposed, particularly from the
democratic side, but may be passed
when there Ia quorum i'm the house.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
those familiar with the work of con-
gressmen that for the most of them a
clerk is an Indispensable factor while
congress is actually in session, as there
is much work of purely clerical and
routine nature, which every member il
called upon to do for his constituents.

steamship Etruria. from New York,
Feb. 2, for this port and Liverpool, has
arrived, and reports that she saw no
signs of the French line steamship

Norwegian bark Hebe, which signalled
that she had exhausted her stock OF pro-
visions, and requested to be supplied
with enough food to enable her to reach
port. One of the Etruria's boats was
loaded with good supply Of provisions
and sent to the Hebe. The Etruria then
resumed her voyage.

It doesn't always pay to tell all you
know when You are asked about any
thing. A case in point came up in the
local land Office recently. The following
letter, decorated with a skull and cross
bones and coffin bearing the recipients
name, was said to have been received by
a witness in a contest case which was
fought with some bitterness and is not
yet decided. A HERALD reporter hap
pened TO hear it read, and jotted it down
to be used after all the testimony had
been taken. It's publication now will
not effect the case. 1t reads as follot-sE:
Mr.. u id sneak soon yoti
will never witness in another Land kase.

Notes.

Mackinnon & Murane have been re-
tanned for the defense in the trial which
will come on in the superior court.
Prosecutor Inglehart being away on a
trip to the mountains, the work OF exam
ination Of witnesses for the coroner's in
quest was performed by Judge Reavs.
Who is responsible for the statement
no one seems to know; but it is report
ed that young McGonigle has once before
had the blood OF man upon his hands,
in Idaho. There is probably but little
truth in the story.
In the testimony above taken The HER
AID has endeavored to be as exact as
possible. However, the work was hur-
riedly done and there may be some err
rors-which should be overlooked by the
interested reader.
Young McGonigle is weak-both phys
ically and mentally. He will go all to
pieces on the witness stand. There is a
strained. hunted, nervous, yacillaiine
look and action about the man all of the
time. He has probably but little hope
of release, and his sorrow for the death of
his father is added to the fear for his own
safety; both combine to make him a
very wretched, weekkneed individual.
Among the many rumors which gener-
ally float around during times of excite
ment over a murder, was one to the effect
that young McGonigle and his father had
had frequent petty wrangles over the al
legged intimacy of his son aud adopted
daughter; and this report is taken by
some to explain the startled expression
and exclamation with which the prisoner
answered "not guilty" to the charge of
deliberate murder"
One outgrowth OF the murder was the
arrest and trial of L. r. Freeman, for
threatening to assault, beat and shoot w,
S. Trimble, on Tuesday. The trouble
grew out of charge in an extra issued
by the Argus to the effect that Freeman
was somewhat responsible fort murder
OF McGonigle, on account of publishing
certain letters in his paper. Freeman
called at the Argus office and used threat
ening language, and that papers editor
caused warrant to be issued. The hear
ing came up before Judge Rodman this
morning, freeman being put under 500
bond for six months to keep the peace.
Up to today Mr.. Eaves' condition had
been considered simply as serious. He
has strong constitution and was in per
feet health at the time of receiving his
wound; but late this afternoon DR.. Frank
his physician, informed a HERALD re-
porter that peritonitis had set in, and
, that the present chance for his recovery
was doubtful. II he should live through
tomorrow there will be good ground for

Mrs. George Ellis stated to THE
HERALD that she is lot pleased with the
action of the city council in declaring her
to be in destitute circumstances and she
feels eggrieved that it should have been
implied that her husband had deserted
her. Neither is true. Her husband is
in Sprague, writes to ner regularly and
furnishes her money TO live upon. She
cannot understand how the matter was
taken up by the council.

A HERALD reporter visited Charles
McGonigle at the Jail. and asked him if
he could at this time make any statement
in his own behalf:
"For what paper?" said McGonigle.
"For THE HERALD"
"Well," said he. "I'll tell you. I'd
iust as soon talk to THE HERALD as any
paper l know; have nothing against it.
But there have been too many statements
supposed to have been made by me, al
ready in the papers. | have nothing to
say, in my present condition; and my
attorneys do not wish me to talk to any
one about the case but don't want the
newspapers to use me as club to beat
each other with"
With that the reporter thanked him,
and he responded:
"Not at all i I'd be glad to do anything
l could for you, but can't in my present
condition"
1t is evident that the young man is
considerably broken up over the matter ;
he talks somewhat brokenly, is very
nervous and excitable, and excessively
wrought up over the death OF his father.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1895-08-15

hope of his recovery; but just at this mo-
ment he is far from being as strong as he
has been since wounded. This is sad
news. General regret is felt that it is so
serious, everybody being in sympathy
with the stricken family OF the injured
man and himself as well.
McGonigle was arraigned on Tuesday
before Justice Rodman, to plead to the
charge Of deliberate murder Of his father.
He had been sitting with bowed head
during the opening of the arrsignment,
but when the words deliberate" was
spoken he glanced sharply and abrutly
at the justice and answered in firm
voice, though deadly pale, mot guilty,
no sir" His preliminary examination is
set for Tuesday next at ten O'Clock am.

passed through his side and out Of the
window to the south and whistle1 into

ter OF mile away. Two boys sleeping
there heard the ball singing through the
air and felt it strike the stack.
When Buelah Eaves closed the door
after her father had been shot, young
McGonigle awoke TO the enormity Of his
offense. He ran to the house of Mr..
Wade, a neighbor, and asked for two OF
his friends, James Jones and Frank
Bradshaw. Being told that they were
not at home, but gone TO a neighbours
house, he made his way rapidly there
and told them that he thought he had
accidentally shot his father. lie asked
one of them to go back to his home and
find out what had been the result; but
before the return Of the messenger with
the news that both McGonigle and Eaves
had been wounded, he said he would 20
with Jones to North Yakima and give
himself up to the sheriff. This he did,
Deputy Rowe turning the key upon him
about IL o'clock.
In the meantime a messenger had ar
rived in the city and notified Sheriff Dill
ley of the crime. That officer routed ont
DIR. Frank and hurried to the McGonigle
home, only to learn that Charles was on
his way to this city under guard. The
sheriff and the doctor then drove to the
Eaves residence, where that gentlemans
wounds were ATTENDED to, the doctor re-
naming and the sheriff returning to the
city.

1t would appear from the testimony
that young McGonigle, after his CONVEX
sation with Esves at the gate, had gone
around the house and out to the barn,
where he kept his rife. He must have
passed his father, who was returning to
the house with the milk pals. The old

younger children, passed back of the

Many would be counted twice or even
three times in this list, which Is official,
except that fractions of a thousand are dis
carded. But after allowing for all Of the
repetitions the startling fact remains that
nearly 900. 900 out of the 1000, 900 men
who wore the blue risked all that makes
life worth living.
And it Is possible to verify on an extern
sive scale the facts assumed as basis for
this argument In the 300 Union regi-
ments whose records are given infinitely In
Colonel Fox's work, "Regimental Losses,
the showing of casualties Is greater than
TO 2, taking the deaths, wounds and the
dangerous cases recovered on the above

men or more by death on the field Of bat
tie. For the purposes Of this argument
they are but typical. While there were
many hundreds of regiments in the Union
army where the loss of life In killed was
less than 100 in each, yet the service per-
formed was one Of exposure equal to any

as important.
