NEW MEXICO MAN KILLED.

Frankfort, KY, April 6-The court
of appeals today handed down a decis-
ion in the governorship case, in favor
of the democrats. The opinion is by
six judges, four democrats and two re-
publicans. One republican, Durelle,
dissented.
The republican judges, Burnam and
Guffy. gave separate opinion from
the democratic judges, but agreed
with the democratic members in it's
conclusion. Judge Hobson wrote the
opinion of the court. The concur
renee of Durham and Guffy with the
four democratic judges was sur
prise generally. The opinion holds
that the past action of the legislature
in seating Governor Beckham was
final and the courts have no power to
review it; that Governor Taylor ex--
ceeded his authority in adjourning
the legislature to London, and the jour
nails of the two houses of the legisla-
ture being regular, they cannot be i'm
peached. The republicans will try to
get a hearing before the United States
supreme court. Thirty days must
elapse before the mandate of the court
of appeals, in accordance with today's
decision, is issued Meanwhile no
radical change in the relative posi-
tions of the two state governments
is expected.

were to have been killed, and tells

SENATE.


Washington, April 6-Foster con-
tinued his argument today before the
senate committee on elections in the
case of Senator Clark. He declared
a majority OF the witnesses for the
prosecution were employed by Mar.
Gus DAILY and two-thirds of them were
confessedly corrupt. The evidence
was, he concluded, incompetent to
convict a tramp of petit larceny and
was ridiculous when depended upon
to unseat a United States senator.
Foster was followed by former United
States Senator Faulkner who also
charged corrupt motives in the prose
cution.
Washington, April 6-The senate

authorizing the adjustment of the
rights of settlers on the Navajo In

HOUSE.
Washington, April 6-The house to-
day resumed consideration of the bill
to provide a territorial government
for Hawaii. An amendment offered
by Newland, of Nevada, was agreed to,
directing the surveyor general to re-
port to the department of labor an
nually, the holders of less than 100
acres of land. A section giving the
legislature of Hawaii power to impeach
the judges of the several courts was
stricken out. Hull, Of Connecticut,
offered an amendment giving Hawaii
resident commissioner in Washing
ton instead of a delegate in congress.
Hill opposed anything that squint-
ed at the possible formation of fu-
ture state out of the islands. Hit,
of Illinois, member of the Hawaii COM
mission opposed the amendment. He
said it was desirable that in legislat-
ing for the islands. there should be
a delegate on the floor who could be
questioned.
Washington, April 6-The house
passed the Hawaiian bill without divis.
ion.
