He Shot Colonel Beasley In Consequence of a Newspaper Article. .. ~ CHATTANOOGA, May ESL—The trial of Chief Justice David L. Snodgrass of the supreme bench of Tennessee for an assault upon Colonel John P. Beasley with intent to kill began in the circuit court of Hamilton county. The two men met on Dec. 16, 1895, in- the office of Brown 85 Spurlock, the former being the congress- man from this district, and Judge Snod- grass, after denouncing an article in The Morning Times written by Beasley as an infamous lie, assaulted him with a pistol, disabling him in one arm. The ocuurrence, which barely escaped being a tragedy, created a profound sensa- tion throughout the country. Beasley is an attorney of state reputation, having been a candidate for governor in 1882 on the greenback ticket. The difliculty sprang - directly from a publication in the Chatta- nooga Times of the same date as the at- tack, characterizing a certain opinion of the supreme court as “a political deci- sion. ” Had Beasley not thrown up his arm and caught the bullet in his elbow, it would have gone to his heart. " - General Luke T. Wright of Memphis is leading counsel for the defense and J. W. Clift of this city appears for the prosecu- tion. ‘ A special jury was impaneled without difficulty. The plea of self defense was en- tered by the defendant. The state fought hard for a continuance because of the at» sence of three of its most material wit- nesses, one of whom, the attending sur- geon, is traveling abroad, but their motion was overruled. The prosecution is badly handicapped by the unexpected leave tak— ing of their only eyewitness to the shoot lng, Miss Ruth Millington, a stenogra- pher in the office of Brown &. Spuriock. James A. Harris. state comptroller, testi- fied, and depositions were read from United States Circuit Judge Lurton and Governor Turney, who formerly sat on the Tennessee supreme bench with Snodgrass, the latter as chief justice, W. B. Winslow and W, H. Russell, attorneys of New York. Beasley displayed his wounded arm, from which large pieces of bone had been extracted, to the view of the court and jury. The questions of counsel elicited pointed and straightforward replies from him, though an attempt was made to break down the character of the witness for reli- ability, by trying to get statements from him that he had no faith in the honor of men or the virtue of Women. denied that he had ever said such things. He said that he did not believe in immor- tality of the soul. A MARINER’S YARN. Thrilling Experience of the Edith Shera- ton as Related by Her Captain. NEW YORK, May 21.—Tbe British bark- entine Edith Sheraton, which arrived to- day from Macoris, sugar laden, had a nar- row escape from total destruction by tyvo immense waterspouts during the voyage to this port. ' , ' Captain Mitchell reports that on May 17, in latitude 34:55, longitude 74:44, at 8 a. m., while working out his position below, he was called from the cabin by his steward, who reported that two immense waterspouts were bearing down on the vessels. Captain Mitchell rushed on deck. and, seeing that the vessel was in great peril of being overwhelmed by the water- spouts, he took the wheel and steered his course in order to pass betfi'een them. In a few minutes the waterspouts passed with tremendous force. One missed the jib boom by 20 feet, the other one assing about 40 feet from the stern. aptain Mitchell says that these waterspouts pre- sented a magnificent sight and were the largest he ever saw. One of them, he thinks, was over 1,000 feet high. Senator Sullivan at Chicago. NEW YORK, May 21.—-There is nothing either mysterious or significant in the re- ported disappearance of Senator Timothy D. Sullivan. Senator Sullivan left New York four days ago for Chicago.

His mission in Chicago is to secure in advance lodging and boardng for a del— egation of New Yorkers who will accpm- pany him to the Democratic national con- vention. . . Free Bicycle Transportation.

Representatives Mahon. and Walker Become Rather Excited. FORMER SERVES WARNING. [n the End He Carried His Point—Immi- gration Bill Again Under Discussion. Slight Disagreements on the River and Harbor Bill. WASHINGTON, May 21.—Before debate In the immigration bills was resumed in the house today a special order was pre- sented by Mr. Henderson (Rep, Ia. ), from the committee on rules. giving the com- mittee on labor two days. The considera- tion of tw0 bills Was specifically provided for by the order. Tomorrow what is known as the Phillips bill was to be con- sidered until 4 o’clock, when a vote was to be taken. The bill provides for the ap- pointment ‘of a nonpartisan commission to investigate and recommend legislation relating to the problem of labor and capi- tal. The next day the order provides for the consideration of the Erdman arbitra- tion bill. A sensational scene followed the presentation of the order. Mr. Mahon (Rep, Pa.), chairman of the committee on war claims, seeing‘that the terms of the order would deprive the house of the day set apart under the rules for the consideration of private bills, arose to en- ter a vigorous protest against the course of procedure during this session. He pointed ' out that the committee on war claims had had only 1% hours in a five months’ session. Private business under the present regime had been done wholly by unanimous consent. The calendars of the house were untouched. He said be ap- preciated the pressure on the speaker for unanimous consent legislation, but he served notice that next session the “regu- lar order” would be systematically de- mended. “Gentlemen,” he concluded, looking about the house, “get what you can dur- ing the next 15 days; Unanimous consent. will not be given for any purpose at the next session.” ‘ “’alker Complains. Mr. Walker (Rep, Mass.) followed Mr. Mahon. As chairman of the committee on banking and currency he has been de-- sirous of time for the consideration of measures reported by his committee. He is also an advocate of the payment of war claims. He charged the leaders of the house with sneering contemptuously at the chairman of the war claims commit-' tee when he sought to have the govern- ment pay its honest debts. He proceeded to ridicule the precipitancy with which the house rushed in sympathy to-the sup- port of Venezuela, and Cuba while it turned its back coldly on the poor cred- itors of the government who were unfor- tunate enough to be its own citizens. “If God‘spares my life,” he cried out passionately, “and I return to this house at the next session, this thing will end. I have servedihere for eight years and re ceive no more consideration than a dog !” “Has the committee on banking and currency. of which you are chairman, been given any time at this session of con- gress?” asked Mr. Richardson (Dem, Tenn). “In view of the approaching presidential election,” replied Mr. Walker, “both sides of the house show a decided disinclinatiOn to consider bills from my committee, but the leaders of this house will hear from the banking and currency committee, and don’t you forget it!” _ He continued to criticise the manner in which the aflairs of the house were con- ducted, declaring that three or ’four gen« tlemen ruled with a rod of iron. Mr. Henderson, who had presented the rule, indignantly denied that there was any attempt on the part of the rules com- mittee to dictate to the house. ‘ “Why do the leaders adjourn this house over Saturday while these bills on the cal- endar are unacted upon?” interrupted Mr. Walker. “Theleaders can’t adjourn this house,” responded Mr. Henderson, turning upon Mr. Walker, “unless you and a majority desire to adjourn. ” The order giving tomorrow‘. and the next day to the committee on labor was adopted by the house, and the debate on the immigration bills was resumed. In the Senate. Among the bills introduced in the sen- ate today wzg one by Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) so defining the authority of the United States supreme court that no bill passed by congress and approved by the president, or becoming a law without his approval, or enacted over a veto, shall be . declared unconstitutional by the supreme . court except when all the judges concur. Senator German offered an amendment to the fortifications bill, providing for the issuing of certificates for indebtedness in denominations of $20, 350 and $1,000, bearing interest at 3 per cent per annum, redeemable at the pleasure of the United States, not to exceed $100,000, 000. The certificates are to be issued by the secre- tary of the treasury when authorized by the president. The certificates are to pay appropriations of this congress or the last congress. Mr. German said that he had submitted the amendment to the commit- tee on appropriations and it had been re- jected. He thought the amendment was subject to a point of order. Mr. Mills of Texas made the point of order and said that while congress was in session and the power of taxation in its hand there was no reason why indebtedness should be in- creased. .-Congress should not adjourn without making some provision for thy treasury. ’ The River and Harbor Bill. WASHINGTON, May 21.—The conferees on the river and harbor bill have decided to report a disagreement on the Santa Monica and San Pedro deep water harbor amendment. The contention of the house is ’that in case the commission provided for in the senate amendment should report in favor of San Pedro it would give that place two large contracts. It is claimed by the house conterees that the committee , should report to congress. All other items have been agreed to. ‘- Revoiutionary War Pensions.
