Washington, Jan. 26.--This has been
an oratorical field day in the house

animal at bay, knowing that every
hand was raised against him.
Mr.. Roberts was very adroit in the
| handling of his case and at times ex-
eeedingly dramatic Taking advan-
tago of the issue raised by the division
in the committee as to the method of
ousting him, he appropriated to him
self the argument of the minority that
he was constitutionally entitled to be
sworn in, and the argument of the
majority that once sworn in he could
not be expelled.
He defended the action of the Nor
mons in fighting the authority of the
United States for years, because, he
said, they believed that sentiment
would change and dramatically stated
that in these days he would rather
have hiS flesh hewn from his bones
than to have renowned his religious
tenets. He concluded with an eloquent
peroration in which he said he
had never been conscious Of shame

WEOOWEE
Democratic Camp Fires Burning Bright
 ly on Hilltops of fRandolph

Wedowee, November 2-(SpeciaI)-The Democratic camp fires are burning with splendor upon every hilltop in old Ram dolph. Hon. R. L. Huddleston of Autauga spoke to a large audience of Republicans and Democrats at Wedowee Tuesday night and annihilated the prospects of Republican success in this the last stronghold of radi- calism in this county There were many negroes in the audience and his arraign- ment of McKinley's policy was applauded by them. He said
 "The Republican party today under Me Kinley is not the same Republican party as led by Abraham Lincoln. His policy was to make all men free and equal before the law; while the policy of Mckinley today is to enslave the black man in the Philip pine Islands. The flag of the Union floats today over the slaves of the Sultan of Sulu, permitted to do so by treaty of Mckinley and Hanna"
 His tribute to the valor and patriotism of Alabamians who participated in the Span- isn-American war brought forth hearty ap- plause from Democrats and Republicans alike. He said:
 'The sentiments of patriotism which actu- ated the United States to interpose its first blood in defense of bleeding Cuba, over- ridden and oppressed by the merciless methods of warfare, unheard of, except in Spain cruelties to her colonies, was enough to excite the admiration and wonder of the civilized world. The valor of Joe Wheeler; the bravery of Richmond Hobson and the splendid courage of the Alabama volunteers electrified the world with the dazzling splendor of their achievements and wrote in gilded letters of enduring fame a gloriied memorial of Southern pa triotism. It was the purpose of the Demo- cratic party to aid those people because they loved liberty; but now because they still love liberty Mckinley is murdering them through the pitiless exactions of cor porate wealth."
 He spoke to large audience at Wildwood Wednesday night.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN MARENGO COUNTY J.I. Breckenridge Killed by His
 Eldest Son OCCURRED MONDAY NIGH Under Influence of Liquor the Fathe Threatened His Wife and Smaller
 Children and the Son Was
 Compelled to Act
OCCURRED MONDAY NIGH I

Linden, November 2-(Special)-A terri ble tragedy was enacted near Luther's store settlement about miles from this place, Monday night, according to the re- ports which have been received, resulting in the shooting down of J. I. Breckenridge, a well-known planter, by his eldest son, Ed, who acted in defense of his mother and himself, who were threatened with death by the infuriated husband and father, wiose anger had been aroused while under the influence of liquor.
 The facts as reported are that the elder Breckenridge had been drinking for sev- eral days and as usual upon such occasions was very disagreeable to his wife and chil- dren. Ed, the oldest son, who Is about 26 yea@ of age, endeavored to protect his mother and the little ones, and thus cited the enmity of his father toward him.
 Last night it seems that the old gentle mans madness, influenced by the effects of liquor, reached its climax, when he ran in upon Eddie and his mother with a gun, saying i've said I was going to kill you both and now is my time.' whereupon Ed fired on him with a shotgun, killing him instantly.
 MT. Breckenridge, when sober, was one of Morengo's best and most highly-respect- ed citizens. When intoxicated or mad, he man to be feared Only few years ago he shot and killed a MT. Nolan, in altercation and after Nolan had fallen he Breckenridge cut his (Nolan's) throat. The affair is greatly deplored. A great deal of sickness is prevalent throughout this section. Two deaths have occurred in on family in less than a months time. Malarial is the chief cause.
 Despite much sickness, the Linden high school has more pupils already than at any previous session during its history. Prof. L. G. Biggers, the principal, deserves much credit for the faithful efforts he has made, and Is making, to build up this school.
