MURDER AT GUTHRIE.

Yesterday evening Judge Wright was
called TO Guthrie to hold an inquest
on the body of Filipe Cabella. who
was found near that place. The evil
dence points TO Simon Arera rs the
murderer, and the deed was done with
an AK, as one covered with blood was
found near by. The murder was COM
mitted some time during the night of
Tuesday. but the body was not found
until late Thursday night. owing to
the fact that the roof of the house had
been torn down and used as a cover
ing with which to conceal the body
Yesterday Arera went to the office and
asked for his time in Il very excited
and nervous manner. since which time
he has not been seen or heard Of

another party were going along the
road near Congress Junction they
came across J. C. Homestead. an old
and well known citizen of Austin.

ton AS they came up he called for
water. which they gave him. leaving
a small canteen full with him. After
they got to Congress Junction they
told of having seen him. but no one
took any heed of it, and after while
they became uneasy lest he should
die there alone by the wayside. so
they got in rig and went back TO
where he was and found him in a
dying condition. and he died Il few
minutes after they reached him. They
took his body back to Congress June

day.

Ship Subsidy Bill Before the Senate
 First Speech ill Opposition.

WASHING1O\. Dec. l2.-Thc first speech in opposition to. the ship subsidy bill in the senate was delivered yesterday by Mir Clay of Georgia. He is one of the minority members of the committee on commerce which conducted the ht urings on the measure and reported it to the senate. He is recognized as one of the most vigorous opponents of the bill ill the senate. and during nearly two hours which his speech consumed he was ac- corded close attention by senators on both sides Of the chamber. Mir. Hanna. who expects to reply to Mir. Clay's argument gave him particularly attentive hearing. In the early part of the session lively coiloquy was precipitated over the refer euce to committee of the Grout oleomar- garine bill, just passed by the house of representatives. Finally it went to the committee OH agriculture. This was q victory for the friends of the bill.
 There also was a sharp dt bate over the Montana senatorial "ase, but no action was taken, the matter by consent going over temporarily. Fcday no business ses- sion of. the senate was held. as the day was devoted to tie celebration uf the cen tennial of the establishment of the seat of government i'll Washington.
 The debate on the war revenue reduc- ticn bill opened in the house. but was con fined to two speeches. enc by Mr. Payne of New York. chairman of the ways and means committee, on behalf of the ma jotity; and one ty Mir. Swanson of Nir- ginia on behalf uf the minority. The house adjoafned early to permit the hall to be decorated for the exercises in con nection with the centennial celebration today. Before the war revenue reduction bill was taken up a resolution was adopt T f,,,. Nf i.1 mittee of five members to investigate the death of Oscar l..

PEkING, Dec. 12.-At q meeting of the ministers it was agreed that as soon as the protocol embracing the terms for the peace negotiations is signed it shall be presented to the Chinese commission CTS, and the ministers shall then proceed with the negotiations without waiting for the arrival of sufficiently authentic credentials for the Chinese commission CTS.
 The ministers prepared a draft of the credentials to be demanded of the Chi neSe and submitted copy to Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching, together with g request that their credentials be secur- ed without delay.
 The British minister, Sir Ernest Sa- tow, is still awaiting instructions from his government.
 The ministers adjourned without fixing upon date for their next meeting. At meeting of the military con- manders for the purpose of arranging a
 provisional government for Picking it was decided to appoint Captain Dodds of the Ninth infantry, l.. s. A; Captain Selwin of the British army, Captain She ! ba of the Japanese army, Captain ron Braaen of the German army and Cap tain Ferigo of the Italian army as such government. Colonel von Gayl of the German army, who was second in com mand of the recent punitive expedition 70 kalgan, was appointed chairman of the government.

BROOKS,S BAD BREAK.
He cast Reflections on Some of Wa

 terbpry's We'll Known Families.
 During the settlement of the case Tor assault against Samuel Woods yes lefday in the district court. criminal side, William B. Brooks, the well known real estate agent, created sen- satlon that stirred even the lawyers who were present more than anyone else, Tor they knew what the result would be if the remarks made by Mir Brooks were followed up. MT Brooks appeared as peacemaker between the state and the accused, the case against whom had been in court for d long tune. woods was accused, with an- other man, of assaulting Il German on Vine street some time ago. They were hned heavily in the city court and took an appeal. While awaiting trial, the other man. whose name cannot be re- called at present, jumped his bail and has not been seen in these parts since.
 The case against Woods has been put over from one term to another, it appearing to the prosecuting attorney that he had turned over new leaf. the injured man having got over the beating he received and outside intlu- ences being brought to bear upon the prosecuting attorney. The main queS- tiCn before the court yesterday was how to dispose of the case against Woods without punishing his father. It appeared Impossible to do this. Mir Brooks agreed that his friend was de- serving of punishment. but if he were heavily fined or sent to prison the pun ishment would be felt more by the father than by the accused. for the fer n n nx-fn lA m upon the latter. He was a young man whose habits were not yet formed and a term in prison would be q stain upon him for the rest of his life. He had reformed since the alleged crime took place and if what the accused said was true. he was Justified in what he did: defend himself. The court was inclined to fine Woods if he plea ded guilty. and this he was not inclined to dc. AIr Brooks took the floor again and said that his friend was not to q great extent responsible for the as sault: he was born in the toughest part of the city. Burnt hill. said Mir Brooks and had not tue good luck to be ever able to leave it. Whenever he had to pass down the street he would have to fight his way between the Me LOughlins. the Hayes's and the Ha- pennyS. When Mr Brooks said this he made q sensation that will not be for gotten by those who heard it for some time.
 Everybody present was surprised why one of his responsibilities. his standing in the community and his large estate could be so foolish as to make himself liable. when he had no grounds whatsoever for making such d statement. The families mentioned are all well known. Nothing can be said against any member of them. The Hapennys are one of the eldest and most respectable families in the north end of the city. They own a good deal of property and if they were what NIT Brooks intiniated they would not own anything. The Hayes's are on the same footing, so are the AcLoughlinS. None of them ever stood in light that would for q moment support the renee

9i6n. cast upon them by Mr Brooks. Another thing fhat-cauSed some sur prise was why Judge Cowen allowed Mir Brooks to speak in that strain when he knew. or must have known, that ne was not speaking the truth. a
 This forenoon Patrick Hayes. one of the Hayes's alluded to above. met Mir Brooks on Bank street and demand ed to know what right or what grounds he had for referring to him in such a manner. Mir Brooks was by that time cooled off: he saw the real import of his words and apologiZed to MT Hayes. There was quite d scene. though, be fore the apology was accepted, for MT Hayes was well aware of the source and motive of MT BrookSS remarks
