MURDER FOR INSURANCE.
Startling Development In Connection
with the Death Of Woman.

GRAvESHURsT, Ont, March Startling
Developments are expected this morning in
connection with the death of Kate Tough or
Mrs. Hammond. who was found nfelefs on
tha roadside and believed 20 be have been
poisoned by her husband. william Hammond.
IL now appears that only a month prior to
her death she took out n 5000 life insurance
policy in the Provincial frvvident. Ham
mond. who paid the premiums, was sole sol,
ben, hciary. Evidence will also be forthcom.
ing to show that tho deceased endeavored to
have insurance placed on her life while In
Buffalo, under the same conditions.
The case bears so much resemblance Co that
OF Carlyle Harris, the Hyams twins, Hender-
shot and Holmes, that every effort will be
put forth TO bring all the facts 90 light.
The theory Of tho prosecution IL that Ham.
mond deliberately planned tho murder Of his
wife from the time OF his marriage, with tho
object Of securing the Insurance.

Legislature.
Resolutions Submitted That Raised
a Big Sensation.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 13. Shorty after
IL O'Clock Sheriff Armstrong made his
appearance with eight deputies in the
corridor between two Hou e cham oers.
Senator Blackburn with a few OF his
friends, including Jim Williams, Jack
Chinn and others, came over to the Sen
ate cloak room about 1880. Colonel
Chinn approached Colonel Lew Tarleton
and said he understood Tarleton had been
talking about him as one of a crowd of
rutiians. Colonel Tarleton said that
he had not said anything of
the kind, but he did say as a
citizen OF the county, 81 think the civil
auhoriies should be on hand here to sup
press an outbreak OF any kind" AT
II 80 a. m.," heSriff Armstrong received
instructions form Goevrnor Bradley to
clear the Senate cloak room in which
were Senator Blackburn and his friends,
including Jack Chinn and others. AS
soon as the Senate majority had heard of
this move OF the governor, the leaders OF
Senator Black burn grew hot and at once
drew up resolution of rebuke to the gov
ernor, which was referred to committee
on rules.
The reading OF this resolution caused a
sensation. Petrie, Republican said it
was extraordinary and he asked hat a
committee be appointed with the COVER
nor and see IL such an order had been
issued by him. Senator Brons,on rhrew
fiery and bitterly scored the governor.
He called for the adoption of the resolu-
tion.
Governor Bradley denies having given
the sheriff any such orders as stated.
Senator Bronson has begged the COVER
nor's pardon.
The srheriT said he had received the
orders from the Governor. The resolution
was referred TO the committee on rules.
The roll call showed 12S members present,
necessary to choice 65. The ballot re-
sulted Blackburn so; Charlisle, 13; Buck

In CONGRESS-.
Brief FURRY Over Cuban
Affairs.
Most Important Phase Not
Heretofore Disclosed.
Cruiser 0iricers Should Owe Allegi-
ance to United States.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The Senate
chamber was again filed by large crowds
to hear the continuance of the Cuban de-
bate and there was some impatience over
a long prelude on the less interesting
subject OF tariff and finance, on which
Mr.. Cockrell OF Missouri had given notice
of.addressing the Senate.
There was a brief furry over Cuba as
soon as the journal had been read. MIR.
Lodge of Massachusetts, rose to state
that Mr.. Sherman had made an inadvert-
ent error in his statement yesterday, in
saying that he (Lodge) had seen Secretary
Olney and had secured private papers and
information as TO Cuba, Mr.. Lodge said
he had received no papers from the State
Department and had had no communica-
tion with Mr.. Olney in this respect.
The papers which Mr.. Sherman had re-
ferred to came to the committee on for
eign relations from the State department.
They included full statement from the
Spanish minister, Dupuy de LONE, giving
the Spanish view and the Spanish side OF
the case. This statement from the min
lister was read To the committee by one
of its memebrs. This and other papers
were of such confidential character that
they could not be made public.
Mr.. Sherman assented To Mr.. Lodges
statement saying he recalled that the
papers came from the State department at
the request OF the COMMITTEES and that
the statement of the Spanish case by the
Spanish minister had been read aloud to
the committee by the Senator from Maine
(Mr. Frye), This brought Mr.. Hoar
TO his feet.
The Senate should have the benefit OF
this statement of the Spanish case by the
Spanish minister. Mr.. Hoar regarded
this as most important phase not here
tofore disclosed.
81; would be proper to lay 1t before the
Senate in executive session." responded
Mr. Sherman.
'Then," continued Mr.. Hoar, "it
would seem quite appropriate for the
committee on foreign relations TO move
such an executive session as giving SEN
ate these impoTant facts on which judg-
ment is based"
Mr.. Wolcott added I'm decisive tones
that the explanations just given placed
the Senate in a most unusual dilemma.
"Senators are asked, - said Mr.. Mclcott.
''to vote on question of fact on testimony
reposing in the breast OF members Of the
committee on foreign relations on testi-
mony that cannot be disclosed to the pub
lie or to us except in executive session.
And these resolutions are to go TO an
other chamber which has no executive
session and cannot have possession of
this testimony. / would be glad to ask
whether we are to yield our judgment
and our conscience 10 the committee on
foreign relations"
Mr.. Hawley (Rep, Conn, rose to
state briefly that he hoped some decla-
ration of Cuba could be offered on which
all would agree. He added that at the
proper time, he would insist on a fur
ther conference on this particular declara-
tion.
This closed the incident and Mr.. Cock

In The House.

Some routine business preceded the re-
sumption OF the debate on the Aidfich-
Robbins contested election case in the
House today. Bills were passed to grant
an American register to the steamer As
torian Prince under the name Of Matte
wan; to amend section ABB of the revised
statutes SO as TO require that all officers
OF vessels having American registers shall
be citizens of the United States. The lat
ter bill is to go.into effect January I, 1897.
Mr.. Payne (Rep., N. vi. chairman of
merchant marine and fisheries committee,
explained that In 1893, when the steam
ers New York and Paris were given Amer
ican register, the treasury department
construed the act OF 1884 TO permit the
employment OF aliens as officers and that
the eng ineers and assistants on both
these vessels were aliens AS these and
other vessels could be used by the govern
ment i'm case OF war as cruisers OF tb Q ma
val reserve, IL was important that all OF
their officers should owe allegiance to
the United States. The bill also extend
years.
Another bill called up by MIR. Payne
occasioned some debate but was finally
passed. 1t provided for the repeal OF ex-
listing laws exempting from tonnage du-
ties vessels from countries which extend
like exemption to our vessels and also pro-
vided for the reduction OF tornsge for ves-
sells plying between the Americas or the
outlying islands and the United States
from to 2 cents per ton. The law for
eciporcal.pre-empiton, Mr.. Payne said,
was passed in the hope that all maritime
nations would join in the repeal of such
duties.
But only Germany and the Netherlands
joined the arrangement. AS the result OF
the arrangements since 1883. German
vessel owners had been saved $3.50, 900 in
tonnage tax and Netherland owners 800. :
600, while American owners had eaved
but a few thousand.
The consideration of the election case
was then resumed. Mr.. Dinsmore dem.
Ark, } closed for the contestee, Mr.. Rob-
bins, with glowing appeal to members
10 divest themselves of partisan feeling
to vote as their convictions dictated.
The whole case of the majority, he
said. rested on the assumption that all
the negroes in the South were Republi-
cans, proposition he most emphatically
denied,
