sENATE'S SATURDAY SESSION.
A Number of Bills Passed-ResoIution In
troduced by Allen.


Washington. Jan. 25.-Saturday's ses-
sons of the senate are so unusual that
there was a very meyer attendance at
the opening of the session Saturday.
An agreement was reached at the out
set that after 1890 the day would be
given to private pension bills and other
minor bills on the calendar. This as
sured a cessation of the debate of the
Nicaragua canal bill and the protest Of
Minister Roderriguez. as the agreement
contemplated laying aside that ques-
ton when it should be reached in the
regular order at o'clock. In the brief
interval before taking up the minor bills
Allen secured the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, That the attorney general
be and is hereby directed to inform the
senate whether he has entered into an
agreement or stipulation with what Is
commonly known as the reorganization
committee of the Union Pacific railroad
respecting the foreclosure Of the gov
ernment lien thereon, and the amount,
II any such agreement or stipulation
has been made, said reorganization
committee is to bid in the event of the
foreclosure of said len and also send
to the senate the full text of such agree
ment or stipulation, together with the
names of the persons comprising the
reorganization committee, as well as
the authority he may have for begin
ming such foreclosure proceedings, or
entering into any such agreement or
| stipulation"
The senate then turned to the calen-
! dar and passed number Of bills. The
| bills passed included the following: TIC
| refund to Ames IL Detrick of San Fran
cisco. Cal drawbacks on grain bags
| exported in 1882; appropriating $4,000
for the heirs of the Italians killed by
mob violence at Walcenburg, Col, In
March, 1895; granting a life-savins
medal to Daniel E. Lynn of Port HUI
ron Mich; approprating $4,000 for es
tablishing a lighthouse on Swan islant
belonging to the United States in th'
Caribbean sea; establishing a life-sav
ing station at Fort Gratiot, Mich.
The senate passed the bill reclasslfy
ing the salaries of railway postal clerks
The classes are from one to ten and tn
pay from $500 to $1,600 A bill also wa
passed authorizing a railroad bridg
across the Illinois river within nv
miles above Grafton, Ills.
Morgan secured recognition at thi
point and presented a resolution re
questing the president for all CORE
spondence relating to the Nicaragu
canal since 1887 between the Unite
States and any minister or represents
tive of Nicaragua. The resolution wa

FOUGHT DESPERATELY FOR LIFE.
Man and Wife Foully Murdered In Their
Home by Eiends.

French Lick Springs. Ind, Jan. 25.-
This section of Indiana is greatly ex-
cited over the double murder of Sam
uel Kirby and his wife, two of the most
prominent and highly respected people
of this county. Saturday morning the
bodies of Kirby and his wife were dis
covered in their room, and there were
evidences of an awful fight having taken
place. Blood stains were all over the
walls and floor and ii was evident that
more than one man had done the fiend-
isb work, as the telltale tracks in the
snow without showed two different
footprints. An AK was found outside
the house stained with blood, showing
1t had been used to commit the murder.
The Seymour hounds were telegrapheo
for and were taken to the scene. The
dogs soon struck a trail southward with
a posse of men following them. Kirby
was SO years old and his wife 80.
