left ST. Liboire for home, being pledged
to secrecy about their testimony. They

Vate 1t is said, however. that sufficient
has been proven against Guilmain to war
rant his cOmmittal for trial on the charge
of numbering La Plante. There appears
to be no doubt that young Tetreault has
proven a complete alibi and has fully ac
counted for his doings on the evening of
the murder.
1t was announced later that Guilmain
has been held for trial for the murder of
La Plante. his employer. Tetreault. an
alleged accomplice, has been discharged.
A special term of court will probably be

IN THE SENATE.
Vote on immigration Bill Set for Ian. IL
Committee Assignments.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Mr Lodge f
Massachusetts, made an effort in the
Senate. today, to secure an immediate
vote upon his immigraton bill, which is
substantially the same measure that
was passed by the 54th Congress and
vetoed by President Cleveland. MI
Allen. Neb., objected to an Immediate
vote and suggested that the final vote
on amendments be taken. Monday, jar.
II, at :, p. NJ, and this suggestion WAS
accepted by Mr.. Lodge, and the order
for a vote at that time was made. Mr..
German. chairman of the Steering
committee" presented an order which
was adopted, re-arranging some of the
committee assignments of some of the
Democratic members, made necessary
by the incoming of some new members.
Chaplain Milburn in his invocation at
the opening of the Senate today. made
touching reference to the death of Mrs
Mckinley, mother of the President. He
expressed thanks for the assurance of i'm
mortality and hoped that this comforting
truth might come home to the President
and his household as they stand beside
the coffin of the beloved mother who has
laid aside the garments of the flesh and
has gone to the great Ruler of the uni
verse. He begged that they might be sus-
tanned in their affiiction and might join
her when they entered that realm where
there is neither sorrow or pain.
Davis. chairman OF the committee on
foreign relations. called up the bill pro-
hibitinS the killing of fur seals in the
north Pacific ocean, but upon the sugges-
ton of Pettigrew. South Dakota who
said he desired to offer some amendments
to it, the measure went over until tomor-
row.
A bill was passed for a public building
at Durham N. c.. to cost $l25GO0.
Pettigrew. S. d., called up the bill
granting to settlers the right to make
second homestead entries. He made
brief explanation of the measure. 1t gave
all persons who were not at the time
owners OF land acquired under the home,
stead law the right to make second home
stead entries. Each person would be en-
titled to acquire l69 acres of land if the
bill was passed.
Butler N. c.. spoke at length upon the
he had offered to the bill
which he had previously introduced pro-
yiding for postal bank system. Such
system of savings would in his opinion
insure greater comfort in the homes of
the plain people of the land, as great
ma jority of them would certainly become
lepositors in such banks. This would Gull
tivate among them thrift and economy
