ter, some papers advocating reprisals on
Great Britain.
The Emperor remains convinced that
Great Britain would not accept mediation

sonal grounds he holds aloof frcm any
Pan for intervention.
1t was asserted today however, by a

SHOT HIS FRIEND DEAD.
The Cashier, Believed to be Insane
Then Killed Himself.

Columbus, Ga, Jan. 16.-Captain j.
w. Murphy cashier of the Third Ma
tional bank, instantly killed Teller =. L.
Shutze this morning and then committed
suicide. The bank was filled with Gus
toners and the full corps of clerks when
the tragedy occurred.
Captain Murphy is Il prominent 5us;-
ness man. but recently has been in ill
health and it is believed that he was
temporarily insane, as he and Shutze
had long been the closest of friends.
The evidence before the coroncr's
jury this afternoon shows that Murphy,
presumably insane. placed the pistol close
to the temple of Mr.. Shuttle and fired.
He then placed the pistol in his own
mouth and fired twice, both balls pene-
trating his brain.
Captain Murphy was formerly assist
ant State Treasurer and one of the best
known politicians i'll this State. Mr..
Shutze was Il member of the Aldermanic
Board of Columbus. Both men leave
families.

mittee on Privileges and Elections, said
there was no Federal law under which
the violator of even the suffrage laws
could be punished.
Mr.. Spooner (Wis.): There is such
Federal legislation.
Mr.. Chandler: "There is not now
such legislation. Congress has no con.
stitutional power to punish such crimes"
Mr.. Cullom thought that inasmuch as
il involved new legislation the petition
should go to the Committee on Judic-
iary.
This subject Mr. Cullom said,
seems to call for investigation. These
people realize they are being badly treat
ed. Such treatment is without author
ity of law and it ought to be stopped
if possible"
Mr.. Tillman Is. O.: 'What is the
immediate cause of this petition. Does
it come from Georgia."
Mr.. Cullom replied that the petition
came from Chicago, but that it was
signed by people of many States.
Mr.. Spooner called attention to sec
tions of the revised statutes which pro-
vided penalties for violations Of Federal
election laws.
Mr. Chandler said he stood corrected.
The petition was referred to the Com
mittee on Judiciary.
Mr.. Wellington (Md), introduced Il
joint resolution declaring the purpose of
the United States towards the Philippine
Islands and gave notice that he would
address the Senate on the resolution next
Thursday.
Mr.. Pettigrew offered a resolution call
ing upon the Secretary of War for an
itemized statement of the expenses OF
our occupation of Cuba, since the close
of the war, the salaries of all officials,
the amount of customs dues received
and all other matters pertaining to the
expenditure of money by the United
States on the island. He asked for its
immediate consideration, but Mr.. Chan
der, (N. H., objected and the resolu-
ton went over until tomorrow.
Mr.. Cuberson CTexas) withdrew as a
member of the Census Committee and
Mr.. Cockrell presented an order max
ing additions to the Senate committees,
including:
