OPPOSED TO EXPANSION.

Senator Francis NJ. Cockrcll ha,
arrived in Washington after a long
campaign in Missouri, the result o
which assures his election to the
Senate for a fifth term.
81 do not look for any new and
sweeping Legislation ut the coming
session." said the Senator. "The ap-
preparation bills will be passed, and,
as the river and harbor bill is due, il
being enacted every two years, a
strong effort will be made to secure
one tins Sinter. 1t is not probable
that any financial legislation will be
attempted, and do not look for new
army Legislation beyond what may
seem necessary TO meet the emer.
gencIes ofthe present situation. There
may be legislation in regard to
Hawaii.
at is impossible to say what the
Senate will do with the peace treaty,
as il is not known yet what the con
ference at Paris will agree upon
fiually. Personally, | am opposed to
taking the Philippines The policy
ofexpansion which we hear so much
about is not defined very clearly by
its advocates, but it seems to me thai
the annexation Of the islands, thous-
ands of miles from our coast, will In
volve very grave questions and is OF
doubtful wisdom. In my judgment,
it is entirely unnecessary"

MURDER IN BRUNSWICK.
CoIored Preacher Charged With the
Killing of His wife.

LAWRENCEVILLE, VA, November g.
(Special)-H. +. Jones, a colored Method
list preacher, who lives in Red Oak Dis
trict. of Brunswick county, was delivered
at the Jail in Lawrenceville yesterday by
Constable j. w Haskins, charged with
numbering his wife in a most cold-blooded
and brutal manner. The version OF the
tragedy. as given by Jones himself, is as
follows: He claimed that ne returned
home soon on Sunday night, and AFTER
eating supper, went Immediately 10 bed;
that some time i'm the night he was
aroused by his wife. who told him that
some one was breaking into his crib
where he had stored some recently-killed
pork. He went out and found the thief
i'm the crib: shut the door, and called Tor
his wife to bring him light. As she APP
preached the crib with the light the thief
on the inside fred at her through the
logs. burst the door open. knocked Jones
down. and escaped. Jones's wife called
TO him that she was shot and returned TO
the house where. a few moments AFTER
wards he found her dead upon the floor
riddled with buckshot This Is the first
version of the affair given by Jones, but
since and at the inquest his accounts
were so contradictory and his evidence
so confused that he was committed 10
iail by the examining magistrate for trial
by the County Court. The weapon with
which the crime is supposed to have been
committed is an old Springfield rife, and
has probably figured in more than one
tragedy.
Miss Cindie Heartwell. of this county,
a daughter Of Mr.. Thomas II. Heartwel,
and Mr.. w. j. OConnor. Of the Atlantic
