Tho Dias Murder.

The preliminary examination of
John Dias, charged with numbering
his wife, Is in progress at Austin.
The Eeveille says that Frank Ber-
trand, nephew of the deceased, testi-
fed as follows:
On the day of the shooting he had
written a letter for his aunt. Dias
was anxious to see the letter, which
was refused the latter person. Dias
and Bertrand had words over the let
ter and soon after took hold of each
other, and scuffle ensIed in the din
ing room. Mrs. Dias was in the kitch-
en- and, hearing angry words, came
into the room where Dias and Bertrand
were. She told Dias to let the boy
alone. At that Dias pulled away from
the boy and said @you are the one
that should get it," and took hold of
his wife. Bertrand said he heard a
pistol shot and on turning around,
saw pistol lying ON the floor, which
was discharged by the fall. Did not
know who had the pistol in the start.
Dias picked up the pistol, grabbed
Mrs. Dias, pushed her against the sink
and fired the fatal shot. Bertrand
then wanted a horse to come to town
for doctor, but Dias told him he
could not have a horse from the
ranch, but afterwards told him to
take the blue horse and go for doc
tor, which he did.

The Bond Sale.

WASHINGTON, February 6.-The
work of scheduling and classifying
the bids opened yesterday was re-.
sumed to-day. Until it is completed
no definite information can be OBJ
tanned as to the amounts bid for at
each of the several rates or how low a
rate will be accepted.
The bid of J. P. Morgan and asso.
ciates will undoubtedly be accepted
for large amound, variously estimat-
ed at from S45, 100000, to S55, 100000,
All legitimate bids at a rate above
that submitted by Morgan Q1O,6677)
will be accepted, and all bids below
that rate will be rejected.
1t was expected by the Treasury
officials that the Secretary would be
able to exercise some discretion in the
acceptance of bids, and therefore be in
position to give preference to parties
who would agree to obtain their gold
from abroad. The fact, however, that
all bids higher than that made by
Morgan must be accepted, precludes
the possibility Of his making any dis
tinction whatever, except in u rare
case where the bidder shows he has
foreign gold on the way here and asks
for slight extension of time to make
his deposit. IT is believed the Secre
tary will grant such requests.

"AshlNGFON, reD. O.-SSuay to-day
modified his resolution to recommit
the tariff bill so as not to include in
structions to the committee, and, at
his own request, it went over until
Monday. The Populist Senators have
decided in caucus to. vote solid
against the recommitment Of the subs
stitute for the tariff bill to the Com
mittee on Finance. If the Demo
Gratis hold together against Quay, the
decision of the Populists insurs it's de-
feat.
The Catron anti-prize fight bill has
passed the Senate.
The Catron bill, to prohibit prlze-
fighting in Federal territory, will
probably be sent to the Pre- sident to-
morrow or next day. 1t is considered
almost certain it will be signed
promptly, thus making it a law al
most Immediately. Thus the gov.
eminent authority, judicial, and if
necessary, military. will be invoked to
stop prize fights.
An agreement has been arrived at
among all parties of the Senate for
the election of Senator Frye as Presi-
dent pro. tenn. as the first business
after assembling the Senate to NOR
row. The Republican caucus to con.

held tomorrow afternoon, if an ad

COMMITTEE WORK.
Secretary Hoke Smith, in confer.
ence with the House Pacific Railroads
Committee to day, advocated the fore
closure of the government mortgag e
on Pacific railroads and the sale of
the roads. He declared there would
be no difficulty in doing this without
government ownership of the roads,
to which he was opposed absolutely.
Let Congress pass an act FORGETTING
the lands granted the two companies,
exemption beng made in favor of
bona fide purchasers from the rail-
roads. If Congress did not legislate
he would revoke his suspension
orders and patent the lands to the
roads.
The Senate Indian Committee to.
day authorized a favorable report on
Pettigrew's bill for the taxation of
lands allotted Indians in severalty.

DEMOCRATIC PLAN.
An Alleged SCENE to Capture the
fs.$s PrQSiSlanny r ..f


s Presidency. .r.,@1 +, ID;
Chicago, April ia special to the
Post from Washington says: Demo
cratic leaders have matured a plan to
capture the presidency next fall by
organizing a split at Chicago, putting
two tickets into the field and then
bringing the two wings of the party
together in the electoral college The
silver Democrats have been scheming
on the subject for long time, and
lately passed it on for consideration
by the So-called sound money man
ayers, with whom it has been received
with favor. The White House has been
the scene Of several consultations on
this most important matter within the
last four Oh five days, friends of sound
money not only in congress, but in
many of the ranking financial and
commercial centers having responded
to haSty summons to meet and dis
cuss the question of supreme concern
Stoithe party welfare. The result of all
this palaver is that q thorough under
standing has been reached, and that
Democratic hopes are higher at this
writing than they have been in two
years.
Many of the silver leaders of the
Republican party are fully advised of
the Democratic programme, and are
watching with the greatest interest.
The archplotters among the Demo-
Gratis fondly hope that the Republic
ans may be induced to pursue similar
tactics.

covered. They twice rang for the cage

neer paid no attention to the signals,
for reasons which he refused to ex-
plain at the inquest, When he later
discovered the fire for himself it was
too late to assist the men. The evil
dence also showed that Supt. Fletcher,

miner, but he said he thought the men
under him were experienced The
method of working the Hope was
twenty years behind the times and
there were no means whatever for
men to get out of the death trap with
