sion of a police detective There was no cross examination.
 He was followed by Herman Ferren- bach. the special police officer who found Isaac Hoffman. bleeding and unconscious in the store on the even ing of June l. He stated that he en- tered. on his duties on the evening of the shooting about 5:30 o'clock; that he had seen Figel about 6:10 on Bush street, near Battery, and that the de- fendant walked to Battery street. where he joined Isaac Hoffman The witness then told of his walk around his local ity and his arrival at the store about 6.45 He tried the door, as was his usual custom, and found it unlocked and passed into the store. He saw a light in the rear office, and passing in found the wounded man, who he stated was unconscious, but still alive and bleeding freely from two pistol wounds in the head. He stated that he had picked up the revolver and given if to Officer Colen after he had sent the wounded man to the Receiving Hospi- tai He testified that his hands were bloody at the time he picked up the revolver.
 Tn cross examination nothing new was brought to light, but the witness said that Isaac Hoffman was aware that it was his duty to guard that store.
 The first witness during the after noon was to have been Officer Colen, but sickness prevented his appearance and the testimony given by him at the preliminary examination was read to the jury by Judge Murphy. His statement as read told the story of his meeting with Officer Ferrenbach, the arrival at the store, the hurried call for the patrol wagon and the removal of the wounded man to the Receiving Hospital.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has issued circular with reference to compromises in cases of violation of the revenue laws. Collectors are instructed not to solicit offers of compromise, and no delinquent should be induced by threats to invoke the power of the Commissioner to compromise, and no assurance should be given of the probable action of the Commissioner if an offer is made: but where the individual is ignorant of such a provision of law and desires to make his appeal for clemency in the manner provided, it is the duty of the Collector to give him suitable instructions.

PARIS, Jan. 16.-There was a popular
demonstration today with procession OF mil
itary oflicblls, soldiers, veterans and gymnas-
tic and o.Aer associations In honor OF General
Felix Sausscr, now retiring from the mill
tary governorship Of Paris, and the command
er-in-chief of the French army. General
Saussler, who was in full uniform and sur
rounded by his staff, stood in his residence,
responding assduously to the ealutations OF
enormous crowds.
Ultimately bands of students plraded the
streets, shouting perpe.ua1ly, "Conspuez
Zola!' Death to the Jewsr' and the like.
and the windows of a house mistaken fer
Zola's were broken. The police finally dis
pereei the rioters and made sevenl arrests.
Louise Michel and Sebastian Faure ad-
dressed a socialist meeting this evening and
der ounced the secrecy attending the trial OF
Comte Bsterhazy. There were shouts OF
''Bas Brumont!" and BIAS Rochefort!" but
there was no further disorder.
The list of persons signing the petition
circulated by NJ zola, Anatole France and
others on Friday last, for retrial of former

CORPSE WEIGHTED DOWN With STONES

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 16--The body OF Sc.
year-old Percy Lockyar who is believed to
have been murdered on Friday night by
l5-year-old Samuel Henderson, was today
found in the bottom OF "Reddie's" creek
slxtleth and Catharine streets, and there
seems little doubt in the minds of the police
that young Henderson is guilty of the crime.
Ho is now locked in cell at police head
quarters.
The body OF the child, wfhen found, was
weighted by two heavy stones, one about
his neck and the other around his ankles.
His skull was crushed in and there was a
knife thrust just above the heart and
similar wounds on his breast, side aud fore-
head, while on one side of his face was
long cut extending from below the eye to
the cain.
From what the police have been able to
learn the crime seems to have been one
of the most horrible character, and II all
it's details are true, 1t stamps young Hen
derson as a degenerate of the worst type.
He does not seem to realize the enormity
of his crime. Yesterday aztec his arrest he
admitted knowledge of the knife thrust,
but said 1t was due to the child accidentally
running against ao open knife. Henderson
became alarmed at this, and said he threw
the body into the creek. Today. however,
when shown the mutilated body OF the child,
he admitted that he was responsible for these
cuts as well. but he still persisted that
it was am accident.
Tho police, however, believe 1t was
planned murder in which the guilty one
also purposed taking the life of another
small boy, Willie Addison, aged z years.
Henderson, 1t is said, has been reading
trashy novels of the Wild western stamp,
and has shown a desire TO emulate the
hero" of those tales. The police assert
that Henderson accompanied Lockyar and
Addison to the woods, as he told yesterday,
but instead of any accident happening to
either Henderson tied both children to
tree Addison broke away and ran home. 1t
was then, It is said that young lsockyars
death was accomplished
Dr. Morton, the coroners physician, VINO
examined the thrust above the heart, SAID
that it caused the death of the little fellow.
The police searched for the body during
all of last night and 1t was not until after
daylight this morning that 1t was found.
Henderson will be given hearing tomor-
row morning
A fact that has come out in connection
with Henderson's alleged crime Is that his
father, John Henderson, was on trial before
Judge Reed in October 1892, charged with
khilng a man named Christopher Nelson.
The killing was the outcome of a quarrel.
Henderson, when arraigned, pleaded guilty
to manslaughter He was remanded Tor SEN
tence, but some time later 1t was shown
that the death was largely accidental and
there was no murderous intent. he was
admitted to bail and is now free.

Several Important Matters Coming Up
for Settlement.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The Hawaiian
| annexation treaty will again this week oc-
| cupy the major portion Of the time of the
senate. 1t appears improbable, however, that
| the treaty will be taken up on Monday. There
| is unanimous agreement to vote on the
| immigration bill during that day and it is
altogether probable that this vote will be
| preceded by some discussion of the merits
! of the BILL The friends of the measure are
confident of its passage, but they are not
| very hopeful of getting it through without
further debate.
Senator Wolcott has given notice of his
Intention to address the senate on Monday,
when he will make report of the transac-
| tions of the recent international bimetallic
| commission. Mr.. Wolcott has never given
extended public utterance concerning the
commissions work and there is very gen
eral interest manifested as to the course he
may pursue in his speech on Monday.
When the senate resumes consideration of
| the Hawaiian treaty, Senator Morgan will
take the floor and 1t Is expected will con-
| sUme at least another day in the presenta-
tion of his views in favor of annexation He
will be followed by Senator'S Pettigrew and
White In opposition to the treaty, and by
ether senators for and against 1t. There is
no hope that the discussion will be con-
cluded during the week. a great many sena-
tors wish to speak and as long as the re-
suit of the vote is as uncertain as it is at
present neither side will be disposed to
allow the vote to be taken.
The senate has agreed to vote on the con-
firmation of Attorney General McKenna as
! associate justice of the supreme court on
next Friday, and the probabilities are that
this vote will be preceded by some discussion
| as to Mr. McKennas merits.
The urgent deficiency appropriation bill
will in all probability be reported on Mon
day, and there may be an effort to secure
1t consideration during the week.
The house is likely to become the arena
for general discussion of our foreign rela-
tions in connection with the consideration OF
the diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill during the present week. The Cuban
situation, the annexation of Hawaii, and
the designs of the European powers toward
China will, of course, be the principal topics
to attract attention The house managers do
not want an extended debate on Cuba pre-
cipitated at this time, but the minority is
determined to press the question during the
consideration of this bill. 1t believes the
time is particularly opportune, owing to the
anti-autonomy feeling in Havana.
Tomorrow is District of Columbia day,
and on Tuesday the consideration of the
army appropriation bill will be resumed
This is likely to be concluded Tuesday, after
which the consular and diplomatic bill will
probably consume the remainder OF the
week.
