y Representatives met in caucus in the
hall cf the House at 11 o'clock Saturday.
There are 131 Democrats an.l S
fusioaists, Silveiites and Populists in
the new House. Of these members of
the minority 126 were present, including
Mr. Shafroth, cf Colorauo,
and Mr; Newiands, Silventcs. Mr.
Neville and Mr. Stark, Populists, of
Nebraska, declined to enter the
caucus. Mr. nay, 01 vngimu. tuuu*
man of the Democratic caucus, presided.
Without opposition the following
selections weie made lor officers of
the House to be presented at the
meeting of the House next Monday:
Speaker, Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee;
clerk, ex-Representative James
Kerr, of Pennsylvania; sergeant-alarms,
ex-Representative E. V. Rroocshire,
of Indiana; door-keeper, Clias.
Edwards, of Texas; postmaster,
James K. Jackson, of Alabama. The
selection of Mr. Richardson as candidate
for Speaker, clothes him offl
cially with the minority leadership.
The four places on the House roll allowed
the minority will be filled by
Isaac R. Hill, of Iowa, assistant serg'ant-at-arme,
and James F. English,
of California; Felton B. Knight,
of (Jcorgia, and Ewing Bland, son of
"Silver Dick" "Bland, special employes.
Mr. Richardson briefly thanked the
caucus for the honors done him and
said: "My best efforts shall be put
.forth to have the minority on the
floor of the House acquit itself in
such manner as to command the respect
and confidence, not only of our
nnrfv hut of the country at large.
I ask and have the right to ask ct
each of you the fullest and heartiest
co-operation and support at all
times. -And I am such I will have it,
for in no other way can I hope for
success 1 shall not attempt here and
now to discuss or lay down any
principles by which we are to l>e
governed as a party. It would not be
appropriate for me to do so. 1 here
is ono thing, however, I will say now
at the very beginning of our service,
because I believe It Is proper that it
should be said. It is this: I urge upon
you and each of you. the surpassing
importance of attending the sessions
of the House. Wo have a minority of
about 160 members. If every member
-4ml thts opposition will attend our so?
sijpns and answer when his name is
called we will make our opposition
effective and often times will be able
to defeat our opponents in their efforts
to pass unwise and improper
mcasares. If we are punctual In our
attendance, although In the minority,
we will be able to do much in the
way cf enacting wholesome legislation,
aud more, and above that, will
be able to prevent the enactment of
many bad laws. The country will
when the session closes pass Judgment
not only on the action and con-duct
of the majority side of the House,
but also on the minority side, and It
we have acted wisely and patriotically
we will place our party in the
position to deserve and to command
a decisive victory in the congressional
elections of next year and a
still greater triumph in the national
contest of 1904."

It was made evident from Mr. Keenes
statement that the effort will be to
show lack of motive for the crime on
the part of Mrs. Bonine and to# support
her plea that Ayres was killed
In a struggle after he had tried to intimidate
her with a revolver. The
principal witness on the stand was
Prof. Schaeffer. a chemist, who me.de
a microscopical examination of tiio
wrapper worn by Mrs. Bonine on the
night of the tragedy .and who said
that he found no tracc.s of blood upon
it. He also said that he saw no blond

on thart occasion. Another witness
was Avreft' father, who told of interview

Ex-Marshal Shot.
Roanoke, Va., Special.?A special tonight
from Wythovllle. Va., says: "A
message has just been received hero
over the telephone via Bland Cou:thorse,
saying that John G. Watts, a
prominent citizen of Tazewell county,
and former United Slates Marshal for
the Western district of Virginia, has
teen shot and killed by Robert-Jones,
one of his farmhands. The telephone
connections are very bad, and no details
can be obtained other than that
Mr. Watts had discharged Jones, who
after his dismissal drew a revolver and
shot Watts, who died a few minutts
after receiving tho wound. Jones
escaped."

Before whose feet the nations are as
dust; i
And .gathered here beneath Thine
nroKinir clrioc
We ask Thy blessing on our high emprise.
From the wide plains of our dear
Southern Land,
From Georgia's hills, from far Alaska's
strand.
From tho^e bright Isles whose shores
the broad Gulf laves.
From Alleghany's peaks hud Balsam
caves. ^
Behold, we come, in joy to celebrate
The art3 of Peace, the deeds that
make men great;
And working out our Father's wondrous
plan.
To show te men the Brotherhood of
Man.
Then let Thy blessing on our heads
descend,
Be Thou our Guide, our Helper and
our Friend;
And still to Thy high Throne the
song shall rise, (
And Thy great Glory fill the echoing
skies.

women had a fight and later Daola

their testimony wa3 not taken.
Neither Mr. Dunn Tor his daughter,

shot was fired. The negro cam? to '
Walhaila to notify Sheriff Moos and
that officer promptly locked Barton up
as he seemed so excited and could not
tell a connected story about the killing.
The negro "iaims that Mrs.
Dunn fired the fatal shot, but Mrs.
Dunn is absolutely mum. After the
shooting Mrs. Dunn left home for the
house of a neighbor, saying that she
feared Dunn and the negro. She was
arrested 'late in the night by Sheriff

A "7racV|?s* No Longer
Day by day arriving passengers on the
:;rcat Atlantic liners have fairy stories
o tell which are both new and true. The
latest marvelous tales are from those
who came aero s on the Campania. En
.".V.c they saw how an active conversation
v.ms carried en with the sister ship
Lurania, i;o i:.\ks av.:.y. They knew of
an important message being vibra-ed to
one of their number from Crookinvcn I
station, on an invisible coast. These ac- I
ctmpli.hmerts arc the latest and most
important manifestations ct the miraculous
possibilities which are in the wireless
telegraph.
Through tile multiplication of ships the
ocean ceased to be trackless. Through
lie Marconi marvel it has ceased to be
a solitude. The very air now speaks of
fellow-voyagers to "those who go down
to the sea in shins.'" It spirits were indeed
to be called "from the vasty deep"
'n these days, they would scarcely excite
more wonder than does the calling of
man's messages from the' very ether that
we breathe.?AYzc* York IV or Id.
