The State had shown the motive for the crime and the confession of. the accused of his cullt, and yet, with the ablest counsel in the State, he now came into court and asked for acquittal.

when in savage jealousy he stabbed Day to death. This was monstrous, but no more monstrous than that this jury should be asked to stab society on Hamilton's Account. Who else could have killed Day but Hamilton? He was the only man who had any trouble or fight with Day that night. Once. the deeil was committed.

House Passes Bill Appropriating Five Million Dollars for St.

Louis Exposition. WASHINGTON, D. February Only a few Senators being in the cham-. the Senate convened Mr. Pettieren, suggested the absence go, a quorum.

-five Senators, a quorum, responded. In pursuance of. previous notice. Mr. Pettus, of Alabama, then addressed the Senate in opposition to the ship subsidy bill.

Referring to former Senator Edmunds, reputed to be the author of the original subsidy bill, Mr. Pettus said that the distinguished Vermonter had demonstrated his ability to "cipher around the truth." He thought the provisions of the measure justified him in saying that Mr. Edmunds, a Senator of the United States, could never halve written this Mr. Pettus urged that the bill ought not to be passed, not only because of Hons it would draw from the treasury, but also because of the principles involved.

APPROPRIATES $5,000,000. St. Louis Exposition Bill Passes the House. WASHINGTON, D. February 18.

Interested in Having bill amended provide for the closing of the exposition on Sunday, and to prohibit the sale of liquor on the grounds was also present Immediately after the reading of the journal Mr. Tawney, chair: man of the special committee on the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, moved the passage under: suspension of the rules of the bill appropriating $5,000,000 for the exposition.

A second was demanded and ordered. This allowed minutes' debate on a side. Before the debate, began Mr. Lattimer, South Carolina, asked unanimous consent to offer the Charleston (8, exposition bill as an amendment, but Mr. Hopkins, Illinots, objected.

Mr. Tawney: dilated on the great and overshadowing importance of the event which the proposed exposition was to celebrate. The magnitude of the event to be celebrated at St. Louis made it proper that Congress should authorize It. Mr.

Maddox of Georgia opposed the bill, but- said he did not imagine his opposition would avail. There were to be no public buildings authorized by this Congress on account of the growth of the expenditures. The $5,000,000 which Congress would give to a private enterprise. by this bill. he said, would build fifty necessary public buildings.

Mr. Simms, Tennessee, declared that Mr. Cannon. it he would exert his InQuence; could -defeat the measure. Mr.

Cannon said. he had consistently and persistently opposed such legislation. He agreed that. exposition matters had run wild. This bill, however, was on a footing where it could not be disregarded.

He had opposed 8 paragraph in the sundry civil bill at the last session. It had been placed on the bill by Senator Cockrell, a Democrat, in the Senate, He had opposed it with voice and vote, but it had become a jaw. St. Louis had compiled with its part of the contract, and the Government was obligated to comply also. He should therefore vote for the bill: TWO VICE-ADMIRALS.

In tact, there are Senators who feel confident frat tho President has received private intimations as to the nature of the court's findings and that this accounts. for his unusual insistence in itbe extra session matter. It is pointed out by friends of the President that there would be no crinie nor gross violation of etiquette in the President's having advance knowledge of a decision Involving 80 deeply the welfare of the country, and: the continued success of his administration. The first business before the new House of Representatives will be the tion of that. body, beginning with the choice of a Speaker and the appointment by him of the The Senate 19 continuing body, and about the only.

material change there will be the advent of Vice-President Roosevelt, wilt take the place of Frye, and preside over its deliberations, Some of the Important committees will have new chairmen, as in the case of Mason succeeding Wolcott in postronds, and either Frye or Cullom at the head of Davis's foreign affaire committee, It may be taken for granted that. General Henderson will be re-elected Speaker. The personnel of the committees In the new Congress will not vary greatly from the prosent one. There will be a few cancies, where Republicans were defeated, and there will be about a dozen new Republican members appointed on committees. The mere: fact of Henderson' re-election will imply a continuance of the House organization about as ft stands.

Two Courses Open. But there is a phase of this organication matter of greater interest to the public at large. The speaker has two courses open to him; he may appoint only a part of the committees, and by failure to appoint the rest confine the House to the consideration of certain particular legislation recommended in the Preetdent's message of summons: or tie may appoint all the thus open the way for the whole raft of legislation, good, bad and indifferent. It will therefore be up to Henderson to determine whether the extraordinary session shall be devoted exclusively to the consideration of the Cuban problem, and possibly the Philippines and Porto Rico; or whether the gates shall be thrown down for the shipping subaldy, anti-oleo, isthmian canal, pensions, private claims and any of the appropriation measures which may chance to fail now--such the river and harbor and the war tax reduction bills, By failure to name a committee on commerce the subsidy might be: heid in check; and without committees on appropriations and claims little other business would be done. The insular affairs and foreign affairs committees will be the important centers of interest, Henderson and Subsidy.

There is Interest in the reported attitude of Henderson toward the subsidy. Not long 8g0 he gave out an intimation that he was opposed to that measure, and he permitted himself be quoted as saying that he intendedto give the greatest latitude for debate if the bill came before the House. Such an attitude would reflect tie sentiment of Henderson' constitue. and the gene eral feeling in the middle West. But, even assuming that Henderson hostile to the subsidy proposition, does not necessarily follow that he wound emulate Reed's example in 'Interposing himself and his power as Speaker in the way of the interests which are pressing that matter to the It may be that he will determine his course in this regard by the advice and destres of the President.

Far-sighted members of the Senate have seen All these possibilities involved in the calling of an extra session, and from this time on the course of legislation will be shaped with them in view. I of the principal appropriation bills some are permitted to fail, it may be because Senators are determined to get in a wedge for general legislation by the House. The length of the extra session will depend largely on the scope which the work assumes. If it becomes general. it will last for several months.

11. Congress should aiso decide to take up Mr. Babi cock's bill to remove duties from Iron and steel manufactures, and to gO Into tariff tinkering generally, there guessing when the end might be reached. At the present outlook there is enough divergence of opinion on the subjects of Cuba and the Philippines, even among the Republicans themselves, to preeipitate a long and acrimonious debate. H.
