REPUBLICAN SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
No F1nai Action Upon the question Of
International Bim etallisn,

Ihe republican senatorial caucus today
did not result in any final action upon the
question Of international bimetallism, which
the caucus was called to consider, but ad-
journed until Friday. This failure was not
due to any opposition to the. proposition to
provide means for conference, but to the
TACT that the language of the bill prepared
by tho Wolcott committee swas objection
able to some. The bill, as drafted. provides
for the consideration of the-.'free mintage'
of silver. Some of the western members
OF the caucus objected to .lifs wording, say
ing that 1t should be SO amended as to pro-
vide FOR free and unlimited coinage. Sena-
tor Allison impressed the caucus in a brief
speech with stheEnecessity of complete
outline of what was wanted
1t was suggested that 1t would be better
to adjourn and take time to make the bill
complete and acceptable to all than to at
tempt to make amendments while in ses-
sion.
This suggestion was adopted, with the
understanding that the democrats and pep
ulfsts also should be consulted with regard
to the proposed change. Very little was
said during the conference as to the prob
ability of securing conference or of its
success, If secured.--Sone of the senators
expressed the opinion that France. Hol-
land and BelgiHm Wouli be friendly to the
movement. The caucus was slimlya attend

House Judiciary COMMITTEES.
The House committee on judiciary today
ordered favorable report on the bill to

attach 1t to the eastern. Favorable reports
were also ordered on the Senate bills FIX

Automatic Car Coupler.
The consideration by Congress of the bill
to extend the time in which the law COM
pelling railroads to adopt automatic car
coupiers goes into effect Is improbable at
least this session. Railroad men had asked
hearing by the House committee on COM
merce and delegation of officials called
on the committee today. Their spokesman.
President Cowen of the Baltimore and
Ohio, said that they believed the inter-
state commerce commission had entire
jurisdiction over the matter. and they did
not desire TO Nake any statement The
hearing was, therefore. abandoned. Chair
man Hepburn and most of the members of
the committee think that the matter is
one for the consideration Of the commits

body.

With Criminal suits outside our own
immediate locality the PLAIN DEAL

With Criminal suits outside our own
immediate locality the PLAIN DEAL
ER as rule makes no comment about
the result. But a trial has recently
been had at Grand Forks. N. d., and
another is set for the 13, against the
same defendant, in which the first
trial is such a travesty upon justice
and the rights of society to protect
ion, that we cannot refrain from CON-
ment. The defendant, one Normand,
sought and obtained permission to
lodge in the house of farmer who
was absent at the time, the mother
and six children being at home. Dur
ing the night he demanded admission
to the room of the wife and mother,
accompanying his demand with
threat to murder her children unless
his demand was complied with. Being
refused he returned to his apart
ment and murdered two of the chill
dreR and repeated his demand for ad-
mission and his previous threat as to
her remaining children.
To save them she admitted him to
her room and submitted to be raw
ished several times by the brute.
Separate indictments were found
against him for each murder COM
mitted. On the first one tried the
jury er-being out "a hours, stand
IL to l for hanging, finally asserting
to a verdict of life imprisonment.
The one juror who defeated justice
was named Kinney, formerly foreman
of the Elk Valley farm of Larimore.
VI Normand's guilt of the crime
charged there was no question. Be-
side his admission the proof was am
pie. Yet this man Kinney against
every instinct of humanity interposed
to protect the life of this brute who
had forfeited every claim he ever had
to protection or to life. In cases like
this where so attrocious crime has
been committed for the purpose of
lndulging brutal passion, any juror
who would protect the life OF such an
outlaw should be driven as an out.
