sidy secured a marked impetus today
in tho House, which just before ad

shape of a resolution providing that
the compromise bill shall bo' consid
ered with debate limited to five hours
and that the final vote shall bo taken
not later than next Friday p. m„ at 3

Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, the
leader of the minority, opposed the
adoption of the rule, and speaking of
the attitude of Speaker Cannon, said:
“There was a time when you, your
self, Mr. Speaker, waxed eloquent and
earnest in opposition to legislation like
this. In those days you were a Sam
son in conflict and a Solomon in coun
cil. Today Samson is shorn of his
locks nnd Solomon has grown fond."

said it was hypocritical in its provis
ions.
Mr. Williams thought it worse than
the tariff., because the latter professes
a virtue, while this was a naked spec
ial privilege.
“It is class legislation naked, un
blushing. running wild.”
He said ho was willing to let stand
a speech" in opposition made some

Democratic and Republican Measure.
Mr. Grosvenor. of Ohio, chairman of
the committee on the merchant ma
rine and fisheries, stated that Mr.
Williams, of Mississippi, had said it
was an anti-Domocratie measure,
which he conceded, but he said that
ship subsidy had been a Democratic
measure down to the passage of the
law of 1891 and that every Democratic
statesman of tho past days had been
its advocate.
The difficulty with tho other side,
said Mr. Grosvenor, “is that you arc
trying to be Democrats and belong to
the Democratic party at the same
time. He said the b'll if passed would
not take a single dollar of the treasury
of the United States, but rather add
to the profits, because it would enlarge
the foreign mail service. Mr. Grosve
nor said he had never heard a lawyer,
except one from tho corn field (allud
ing to Senator Tillman), who object
ed to tho bill.
“I would like to call the attention of
tho gentleman from Ohio to the fact
that it is the men who labor in the
corn field who have to pay tho sub
sidy,” said Mr. James, of Kentucky, I
which caused a laugh from tho Dem
ocrats.
The rule was adopted by a vote of
158 to 122. Twenty-four Republicans
voted with tho Democrats in opposi
tion to the rule. The rule was agreed
upon unexpectedly by the rules com
mittee at a meeting held after a visit

! application of the customs revenues of
the Dominican republic. The treaty

was devoted to opposition by Demo
crats to the convention. The vote was
43 to 19, which is one more than the
; two-thirds required,
i Senators Bacon, Daniel. Carmack,
I Culberson and Newlands criticised the
policy involved as extremely unwise
and as creating a precedent that may
prove dangerous to this country. Sen
ator Bacon closed a long argument by
saying that h* was weary of tile whole
subject and glad to get rid of it. lie
declared that the President for two
years had violated the law In that iie
carried into effect, without authority
of a treaty, relations with a foreign
Government which constitutionally
could not be enjoyed without tho sanc
tion of the Senate.
Senator Carmack opposed the r,;!id
eation, but said if action unfavorable
was to be had on the treaty. :ie-
P\-esldent would go ahead with it any
way and the Senate might as well
take the action that would have him
from disfavor.
Other Democratic Senators nsse: led
that tho President had. negotiated
treaties with foreign countries which
never had been sent to the Senate,
and Mr. Bacon mentioned among tin -o
one with Cuba concerning Guantar
mo. Senator Clark, of Arkansas, n
Senator Patterson made speeches
favor of ratification and these Den-
era ts were the only ones of that si
who voted for the treaty.

RICHMOND. Va., Feb. 25.—On this,
the opening day of the trial at Cul
pepper of James and Philip Strother,
for the killing of their brother-in-law,
William Bywaters, on the 15th of last
December rapid progress was made. A
jury was obtained in a very short time
from the venire of fifty brought from
Shenandoah and several witnesses were
examined by the prosecution. It was
made the question as to whether By
waters was trying to desert his wife
of an hour, whose life he had'ruined,
and whose brothers had forced a mar
riage to conceal as far as possible, the
sharpe he had brought upon her, is the
one around which will rage the battle.
It is probable the prosecution will com
plete its case tomorrow. The defense
will consume probably three days.
The commonwealth will take up more
time in rebuttal than will be consumed
in direct presentation of its side of the
case. The defense has .not summoned
any witnesses.
It will pursue -the somewhat novel
course of depending entirely upon wit
nesses introduced by the State. It is
thought not unlikely, however, that the
defense will put one or two witnesses
on the stand other than those the pros
ecution has summoned.
It is learned that tho prosecution will
call Mrs.-Bywaters, although that side
summoned her. It has been impossible
to ascertain from counsel for the de
fense whether they will have her sum
moned. She may f>c summoned by the .
court.
John Keith, who presented the case
for the commonwealth, confined him
self to a simple outline of known facts
and did not adduce all those in so far
as giving anything like a complete his
tory of the ease is concerned. Jle de
nted that there was anything in the
evidence which would be adduced to
show that Rvwaters was attempting to
desert his wife.
Mr. Jeffries made a strong statement
for the defense, relating all that Mr.
Keith stated to the jury and much
more dwelling effectively upon the in
timate relations existing between the
Strothers brothers and Bywaters.
HE WAS EDITOR OF THE SOUTHERN
CONFEDERACY AND OTHER
PAPERS.
