Washington, June 12.-At the conclu-
sion of routine business in the senate
to-day the resolution directing the com
mittee on civil service and retrenchment
to investigate the discharge from the war
department of Miss Rebecca J. Taylor
was referred to the committee on civil
SERVICE
The resolution introduced yesterday by
Mr. Culbertson (Texas) directing the sec
retary Of war to send to the senate an
it temized statement of the expenditures
made from the Cuban funds from the time
Of the American occupation to May Of
this year was taken up. @-~a.
Mr.. Piatt eConn.) explained that the; in
forma tion was being compiled in the war
department and the resolution was sent
to the calendar. -.s:S:,G .@ -.
Consideration was then resumed of the
London dock charges bill. Mr. Platt
tConn) remarked that it was difficult to
ascertain what was sought by the bill
Mr.. Nelson (Minn.) explained it's pro-
visions .s
Mr.. Platt held that the question pre-
sented was not a subject of national leg
islation.
Mr. Mallory (Fla.) favored the bill al
though not certain that the shippers
would reap great benefit from it.
Mr.. Hale maintained that the attempt
to force the United States to put its hand
IN trade between two parties competent
to make an agreement was aruthless ex-
ercise of legislative power and ought to
be counterbalanced. It was an absurd
proposition. :. y J.. -.
Mr. Spooner contended that it had been
the custom of congress to regulate bills
Of ladlng in both interstate or foreign
commerce. He declared that the common
carriers ''took the shipper by the throat
and the latter was compelled to sign the
bill of lading containing the Zine print
conditions under practical duress, with
knowledge that he could not have his
goods shipped unless he agreed to the
terms proposed. ..',.- =: ..s

Carrie Emerson Missing.
Interest in the case is fully as strong es
that in the Gardner case. and it promises
to be fully as sensat ional. A little sem
sation has already appeared. Carrie Em-
erson, of 220 Second street S, who is said
to be much more important in the Nor
beck case as witness for the state, than
she proved in the Gardner trial. was sum-
moned this morning. She failed to do so.
and the prosecution is apprehensive that
she has been spirited away to prevent her
from becoming a witness in the Norbeck
case. She was, by common repute, most
intimate friend Of the detective, and il
she really has left the city considerable
significance is attached to her disap-
pearance.

More Jury Rumors.
Rumors of attempts at tampering with
| the jury are already afloat, and a young
man called at the county attorneys Of
fee this morning with some information
which to him appeared important. He
was interviewed at some length. It is not
believed that he was on the right track.
but at the same time proper considera-
tion was given to his evidence, and the
officers of the court will be as much on
their guard as before. AS in the Gardner
| case, the jury are kept together all the
time and they are watched constantly
by Deputy Sherdffs NeIs Clausen and
Chesley Hamilton, who are veritable
ogres in guarding the Jurors from intru-
sion. Both have the confidence OF all the
authorities. .= -.

was none. That he is exhausting every
effort to secure favorable vote in COM
mittee is evident, but the session is fast
slipping away. It. is thought that to-day's s
effort to get the committee together will
be the last of the session.. Representa-
tive Stevens of Minnesota was ready to-
day with his two-e edged minority report,
had the committee ordered the bill re-
ported: For several days members of the
committee friendly to the bill have been
trying to persuade Stevens not to submit
this minority report. This was when it
was believed the majority at to-day's
meeting would favor the bill
But Stevens would not yield. 5

The House Begins the Discussion of

Washington, June Representative
Mccall, Of Massachusetts,, to-day pre-
sented to the house a memorial signed
by Charles Francis Adams, Andrew Car
negie, Carl Schurz, Edwin Burritt Smith
and Herbert Welsh, asking that con-
gressional committee; of Investigation
be appointed to- go to the Philippines and
report upon conditions there. The me-
mortal states that the signers are a COM
m1ttee appointed at a recent meeting Of
persons, irrespective of party, interested
in the Philippine policy 49,. .
MT. Ray IN. " ,,of the judiciary COM
mittee, got unanimous consent that Tues
day be set apart for the bill TO amend
the bankruptcy act. =. =.
Mr.. Dalzell, from the committee on
rules, presented a special order for the
consideration of the senate irrigation
bill, one day for general debate and one
day for amendment under the Ave minute
rule. y .'- .'..,
Mr.. Robinson (Ind.) opposed the rule.
He declared that the bill would be bene-
fetal to the arid land states and danger
Gus to all the others. He criticized
severely the action of the democratic con-
| gressional committee in adopting a reso-
luton favoring the irrigation bill. He
declared that the committee was without
| jurisdiction and had no power to bind
democratic members.
| - The whole scheme was undemocratic
and in the interest of land grant railways.
Mr.. Underwood (Ala.) favored the rule.
| He argued that the only method of build
| ing up the arid land states was to pro-
vide for their irrigation. The bill would
not take a dollar out of the treasury, il
would only use the proceeds from the
sale of lands in each state for the benefit
OF such state. =.
Mr. Shafroth (Colo.) also argued fol. the
adoption of the rule.
The resolution then was adopted with
| out division. The house resolved itself
into a committee of the whole, Mr.. Taw-
ney, (Minn.) in the chat rand entered upon

It was arranged that Mr.. Mondell (Wyo J

Would Not Do for Juror-New
Jurors Chosen. fa
The quest for Jurors in the Norbeck
case this morning was without any
striking feature. w. W.. Erwin, after
the cautions he received yesterday did
not ask too leading questions, and though
once or twice touched up for repetition
and for wasting time, he did not cause
any amusement for the spectators.
Adam j. Kidd was the object Of some
curiosity when he announced that he was
born in Nevada. He was apparently a
good man for the jury, and was acceptable
ITO both sides. but was so positive that his
previous opinions would bias his judg-
+ment in spite OF his oath that the state
admitted the challenge.
Isaac Hoblett,i an old butcher, admitted
having known DR.. Ames about forty 1--we
years and might have been drawn. but
when asked if he had an opinion answered
with such vehemence that he had as to
convince the defense that he was tagin"
the Administrations and he was promptly
invited to get out OF the way. One OF
the veniremen summoned was Harry P.
Gallagher.
Challenge for general disqualification
|interposeds Mr.. Erwin.
Challenge admitted said Mr.. Smith
promptly.
A look Of surprise went over the spec
tators.
Mr. Gallagher was brother-in- law Of
Chief Ames.
Alvin NJ Richardson came near to get
ting reserved seat in the Jury box.
After examining him closely Mr.. Erwin
submitted his challenge for actual bias.
In response to questions asked by Als j.
Smith, Mr., Richardson said that white
he had an opinion he would be governed
entirely by the evidence. He made the
same reply to an inquiry from Judge Har-
rison. ,1a5ssss
The triers debated long and then de-
cided that the challenge was true. NJ
A Mr.. McVicker was not present when
his name was called and after two others
had been examined, Mr. Erwin said:
tId like to have Mr.. McVicker called.
don't like to have these matters hang
! ing fire.
| "Ive sent for the juror announced
| the court, tsbut lie can't be found =:
Mr. Mcvicker had. however, come into
the courtroom unbeknown to the bailiffs
and announced himself from the rear Of
the courtroom.
H. ]. Arnold had read the papers and
| formed an opinion.
"can you lay 1t aside?" inquired Mr..
Erwin.
| '.I don't see how can

men who were in ambush. Fortunately
the engine was travelling rapidly and it
was soon out Of range Of fire. The Off

The Supreme court OF the United

I'm the famous cattle case, known as
w. p. NJ. McFadden, ct al. plaintiffs
in error. versus Evanssnyder-Buel
Co. ct al, defendants in error. The
case involves the ownership Of some
$4,000 worth OF cattle which were
purchased in Texas by Blocker, the
money Icing furnished him by the
Evans -Snyder-Bue Co, OF Kansas

Territory where they we're pastured.
Blocker issued TO the Eyans-Snyder'

time the mortgages were filed in In
dian Territory there was no statute
providing for the recording of chattel
mortgages. particularly on property
which had been brought into the Ter
ritory from state where the mort.
gage existed. About the same time
the mortgages were filed at Musko-
gee, congress passed an act providing
for the recording OF mortgages and
made II retroactive 50 as to cover a
number OF cases already filed. I'm
