ONE MORE CONFESSION.
jackson and Waliing Add One More
to Their Long, List


frankfort, KY, March 19.-As q last
desperate resort to extort respite
rrom Gov. Bradley, or communication
of sentence for himself and Alonzo
M. Walling, Scott Jackson has made
another so-called confession and Wall
Ing has signed it. Upon their arrest
one year and six weeks ago confessed
that the other committed the murder.
Each has been in the confession bust
ness very frequently ever since. These
written individual confessions signed
by the respective authors were vague
and evasive. Now, for the first time
comes a confession prepared by Scott
jackson in the Alexandria jail, and
signed also by Alonzo M. Walling, to
be sent to Gov. Bradley. That con-
fession is now in his hands. It's dis
tinguishing characteristics is that it
contradicts in almost every particular
the theory of the defense in the long
trials Of each of these two men.

Mr.. Teller moved an amendment, in
Guiding in the free list trough lumber
manufactured of white pine"
The senator criticised the course of the
committee in placing white pine on the
dutiable list, thus encouraging the de-
struction of pine when it was known the
supply would not last eight years. He
said he was for protection, but would
not carry it to extremes, compelling
every man building a home or using a
stick of pine to pay tribute to the few
owners of pine. This was not repub-
lican doctrine, which was opposed to
the advance of prices on the necessaries
of life.
Mr.. Teller declared that the duty on
nff hn hSn tnl n
defensible features of the Bill.
Senators Gray and Mantle supported
Mr.. Teller's motion.
Mr.. Spooner opposed it or the ground
that the duty was Il fair measure of pro-
lection to an extensive industry of three
border states. This was not a propo-
sitiOn to place all kinds of lumber. those
of Maine and the south and the west on
the free list, but merely to discriminate
against the white pine of other states.
The vote proved very close, the amend
ment being defeated, 81 to 3d. 1t
caused a surprising break in party lines
on both sides of the chamber. Four re-
publicans, Baker, Carter, Hansbrough
and Quay, and Messrs. Mantle, Stewart.
Teller and Kyle voted with the demo-
Gratis in the affirmative. Three demo-
crafts, Bacon, McEnery and Martin, and
Heitfeld, populist, voted with the repub-
cans in the negative.
Mr. Mantle moved to reduce the duty
on white pine from 50 to 81 per 1000
feet. He read from the statement of
a lumber man that a 81 rate would be
proliibitOry, and he appealed TO demo-
cratic senators to vote unitedly and thus
overcome this big rate. The amend
ment was carried by the close vote of 81
to 81, after another break in parry lines
on both sides of the chamber. On this
vote Mr.. Quay returned to his party as
sociates, and Mr.. Hansbrough did not
vote. Two republicans, Baker and Car
ter, and Messrs. Allen, .Heitfeld, Kyle,
Mantle, Stewart and Teller voted with
the democrats in the affirmative. Three
democrats Bacon, McEnery and Martin,
