WASHINGTON , Juno 7. In the senate Mr.
Morgan asked leave to offer a preamble and
resolutions setting forth that the report of
the committee on foreign relations on the
fisheries treaty questioned its legality and
declaring it valid and lawful.
Mr. "Vanco moved to refer it to the comurit-
tco on foreign relations.
Mr. Sherman objected to this introduction.
Mr. Morgan demanded the right to speak
on the motion to refer.
The chair held he could not bo permitted to
speak until unanimous consent for the intro
duction of the resolutions was given.
Despite the ruling of the chair against- him
Mr. Morgan , maintained his ground and read
the address delivered by him on
the subject in executive session. Ono
01 the sentences of" the speech was :
"Tho senate may makO'wnr necessary , as
I am very much afraid wo are doing hero to
day. " The action of the representative sen
ate , lie said , was doubtless with a view of
exciting the antagonism of the Irish voters
to the president because of his alleged sub
serving to British inlluencos. That charge ,
ranked with the injustice of congress , lie
said , had given the president the power
which all the presidents posscsst-d hinco
1S50 , to wrtge a paper war on British com
merce. If the president had pushed it to the
point of real war the country would have
cried out for his impeachment , but having

Tlio Murder of Karnior Hull.
CUMIBKTSON , Nob. , Juno 7. [ Special to
Tins Dm : . ] The murder of farmer Hull by
the Hunters was the most cold-blooded and
most atrocious crime over committed in this
section of the stato. The Hunters Gallant
V. Hunter and his son John have always
boon regarded as bad characters and they
have succeeded in terrorizing the pcoplo
hero to such an extent that they Imvo boon
allowed to have pretty much their own way
in everything that they Imvo attempted to
do. The old man Hunter , it Is said , wag n
member of the infamous Quantroll gang of
cut-throats that infested Missouri during the
days of tlio rebellion and it appears that his
life slnco has been stained by the blood of
his follow man. John Hunter 1ms boon engaged -
gaged in the hardwura business hero for sev
eral years but lias not mot with any success
owing , no doubt , to the well
known disposition of the Hunters.
Mr. Hull , the murdered man , lived
about two miles cast of town on a farm adJoining - -
Joining ono owned by the Hunters. Hunter
seemed to take particular pains to annoy his
neighbor in diveis ways more particularly by
permitting his cattle to run at largo on his
grain Holds to the serious danmgaofMr.
Hull. Hull ihmlly took a mule belonging to
Hunter and held him for damages. It- was
over the demand for the return of the mule
that the shooting took place. At the eoronor'a
inuuest and at the preliminary hearing the
following facts relative to the shooting wcro
developed : Mr. Hull was in Manwarron's
billiard hall between the hours of 10 and 11
o'clock a. m. on the 5th of Juno , talking with
Mr. Mauwarren , the proprietor of tne estab
lishment , when John Huntorcamo in and de
manded that Hull give up the mulo. Mr.
Hull wanted to know whether ho ( John ) rep
resented his father in the matter and if not
ho did not want him to monkey with him.
After a short conversation , during which
Hull stated that they could have the mule by
paying the damages , John Hunter
loft the room. The witnesses stated
that after llftcen minutes after this
the old man Hunter and John were ween
coming across the street ahd when they
reached the billiard hall stepped in. while
John remained on the outside. The old man
then stepped up to Mr. Hull and said : "Do
you want anybody to monkey with you , "
Mr. Hull replied : "No , sir ; I don't know as
I do. " Hunter then said , "Well by , I
heard that you did. and if you do I can mon
key with you , " and at the same tiino said
that ho could whip him ( Hull ) . Hull replied
that if they wanted to they could. Ilxmter
then asked Hull to lay down the billiard cue
which ho held in his hand. Hull refused to
do this whereupon Hunter started , in the di
rection of the cue rack ostensibly for the pur
pose of arming Himself with a cue. Hull fol
lowed him up and just as Hunter reached for
a cue Hall struck Hunter on the head with
the cue in his hand. At this juncture ,
says a witness , John rushed into the
hall and ran up to his father
and grabbed him by the shoulder at the
same time baying 'vLook out old man , " and
instantly llrcd two shots with a revolver at
Hull , the mu7zlo of the weapon being within
six or eight inches of his victim's head. Tlio
Jlrst shot passed through the rim of Hull's
hut and lodged in the ceiling overhe.ul , trie
second b.ill entering the head a little above
and back of the right ear. Hull dropped to
the floor and expired within twenty minutes.
The Hunters walked deliberately out of the
hall , across the way and into their Imnlwaro
store , where they were shortly alter taken
into custody by the sheriff of the county.
The excitement continues intense. John
Hunter has been taken to the Lancaster
county jail where he will await his trial in
rvuvcmbor. Tilfi old man , by many , is con
sidered just as responsible for the shooting
as the son.
