The murder Was . shocking one, and

Ford broke down after he had been

who ran away from the scene Of the
murder following the victims shrieks.
Ford, who up to this time has asserted
his innocence, weakened, said he WAS
tired OF lying and would tell the whole
truth. In his confession Ford denied abb
aolutely any intention or attempt to out
rage the girl; but when asked why the

House Proceedings.

The members Of the House to day
voted themselves 500 per month for
clerk hire during the xecesses of Con-
gress. Under resolut ton passed by the
Fifsy-second Congress the members of
subsequent Congresses received 500 per
month for clerk hire during the ses-
sions. To-day the proposition to extend
this allowance to members during the
recesses of Congress came up in the
form of the resolution reported to the
committee.
It occssioned some very sharp debate.
II had the support of Mr.. Cannon, the
chairman OF the appropriations commit.
tee, but was opposed by Mr.. Dingley,
the floor leader of the majority. Mr..
Aldrich (Rep., Ills.), said IL would in
volve an expenditure of S216. 600 per
Annum.
Mr.. Dookery (Dem.. Mo. in opposing
the resoluti ton said at both ends OF the
capitol she word economy" was on
every body's lips. but everybody wanted

He called attention. to the manner in
which the resolution WAS drawn. It
gave the money to the member, mot the
clerk. and recalled newspaper intima-
tions that members put tho money in
their own pockets.
Mr.. Skinner. In opposing the resolu-
ton, said he had from the first been In

he, "the speaker should fail in his high

The Proceedings CLOSELY watched.

WAsHINGToN. May s.-The proceed
ings of Spanish court martial in the
oases of man captured on the schooner
Competitor, are being closely followed
here, aud there is greas fear that unless
the matter Is handled with great dis
erection 1t may result in straining the
present friendly and am!cable relations
between the United States and Spain.
Strong representations have been m ade
to the State Department on the subject,
and the Department certainly will not
fail TO intervene instantly If it shall
appear that at least all OF She Americans
among the captives under trial are not
treated with all of the privileges ac-
corded by the rules Of civilized warfare.
An insistence on this point would
oblige the department. to refuse to ssno-
ton the execution of the Americans,
although 1t is not believed even yet
that there Is disposition to carry the
cases to extremes. There is some
danger that the Spsniards may feel dis
posed to 60 further than prudence per-
