Why the Wyoming Council Kefiisod
to Confirm Certain Appointments.
CIIBTEXNT , Wyo. , March 11. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : Bel ! . ] Just ono week ugo
Governor Warren sent the following nomi
nations to the council for confirmation :
Henry O. Huy , for territorial treasurer ;
C. W. Hurdlek , for territorial auditor ; A. A.
Holcombo , for veterinarian , nnd Louis
Miller , for fish commissioner. The two
latter are democrats and the present Incutrb
onts of the ofllcos named. The two former
nro now appointees , both republicans , Huy
to replace a democrat , and Uurdick to re
place a republican. According to a recent
change in the rules the nominations wore
considered In open executive session.
The council , by n strict party
vote seven democrats to five republicans
passed n series of resolutions , whleh were
confirmed by the nomination of the present
incumbents , aud rejected the now nominees.
The action Is based on the following
grounds :
"Hills for the immediate admission of
Wyoming into the union ns a state , and all
authentic Information on the subject , leads
to the almost certain conclusion that Wyom
ing will in n very short time bo admitted
Into the union ns ono ot the equal and Inde
pendent states thereof under the constitu
tion recently framed nnd adopted
under proceedings tanen in the ter
ritory for that purpose. A reference
to the constitution under which the fctato
of Wyoming will soon perform Its functions
ns u state of the union discloses the fact that
the functions of nil territorial ofllcers with
the admission of the state into the union ,
cense in a very short period of timo. It is
therefore most important , If the public inter
ests arc to bo regarded , that good , trained
public servants should not bo displaced for
the short period intervening before state
hood and tlieir places 11 Hod by persons who ,
however great their merit as citizens , must ,
in the very nature of the case bo lacking in
that experience In the ndtnlnlstratlontof * thei
law which will bo Indispensably necessary in
the transition from n territory to a state
government. Wo bollovo , therefore , that
the best interests of the whole people of the
territory will bo best subserved In the pres
ent transition of the territory to u state by
making no changes ( except for cause ) in the
occunancy of the several ofllcos for which
the said nominations have been made. "

in the Commons.
LoNDoy , March 11. In the commons this
evening Lord Randolph Churchill resuming
the debate on the report ol the Pnrnoll com
mission said : "From the beginning to the
end the proceedings were vitiated by their
thoroughly unconstitutional character.
When thu government decided to sot aside
the ordinary tribunals it must have hold
that the charges against the Parnollltes con
stituted primu facie evidence against the ac
cused. When the government held It was a
prima faclo case It was Its duty to prosecute
criminally. " Then bo nrguod the matter on
constitutional grounds and dolled any law
yer to show n precedent or parallel for any
thing npproaching the government's action
in appointing a commission consisting
of three Judges to fulfill the functions of
Judge and Jury. Ho appealed to the house to
vote against proceedings so utterly unique
and unprecedented. ' 'Never within n cen
tury and a half hud any public man boon ox-
tposod to such tests nnd trials as had Parnoll.
Every clause of Inquiry In the house , except
the first , was forced through without debate
by the use of a cloture so ruthless that
nothing but tlio most urgent consideration of
"iblie safety could Justify It. The consti
tutional party that in 18S2 resisted
the cloture now applied it. In
1SS2 the covornmout declared the cloture
was a most unconstltutionnl nnd dangerous
innovntion. In 1888 it used the cloture in
the most unconstitutional and dangerous
manner for the purpose of forcing upon its
opponents an unparalleled and tremendous
instrument of oppression , What has been
the result of this monstrous parturition ! A
reptile monster Pigott. What hns been
tno delivery with nil their skill und parlia
mentary instruments ? A ghastly , bloody ,
lotten foetus Pigott , Pigott , Pigott. " | Pnr-

government was violating its own law.
Chamberlain said it was on the invitation

the report against assuming Judicial
functions by declining to accept the Judges'
findings. Ho urged tno house to leave tno
matter iu tbo hands of the nation.
Jennings withdrew his amendment. Ho
explained that ho had no desire to stab the

President Chaplin of the board of agricul

existed at Chicago nnd thu surrounding dis

WASHINOIOX. D. C. , March ITU. r
The president this afternoon sent la the
nomination of Lieutenant Colonel William
Smith , at present chief paymaster of tint de
partment of the Dakotas , to bo paymaster
general of the United States armyvice Gen
eral William Rochester , retired ,
The nomination was foreshadowed lu those
dispatches in THE SUNDAY UEE , lu which
paper It was printed for the first time exclu
sively.
Colonel Smith's promotion bus caused gen
eral surprlao , to say the least , In the army.
Ho was far down on the list and had never
been an applicant for the position. There
were no papers on file in Ins behalf , . It Is
stated , nnd no ono of tbo various candl
dates had the slightest idea that
his nnmo would be considered
In connection with the ofllco.
As a matter of fact Colonel Smith spent n
week or ton days tioro quite recently , ear
nestly working for tlio promotion of his
brother , Colonel Hodnoy Smith , who was
the senior in rank , ns shown by the army
register.
The contest over the nomination had nar
rowed down during the pnst two weeks be
tween Colonel Hodnoy Smith , Lieutenant
Colonel Gibson nnd Lieutenant Colonel Tor-
roll. There was n general belief thnt Colonel
onol Terrell would bo selected In case Colonel
onol Smith was passed over. His long ser
vices In the army and his efficient party
services joined to his friendly relations with
the president , and the fact vhat ho had for
years contended .for rank ns the sonlorofllcor
of the pay department , in which contention
Mr. Harrison was his warm advocate some
years ago.all combined to render the bohcf
current that ho would bo the choice ot the
chief executive.
Colonel Hodnoy Smith's claims , which
were urged vigorously on the ground of
seniority wcro also strong. These of Lieu
tenant Gibson were ndvocnted because of
his long continued service in the army ,
which began orlor to the war of the lobol-
lieu ; while Major Carey , at ono time n prom
inent candidate , was considered ou account
of his relationship to the secretary of war.
The president has solved the problem by
placing over two colonels , and one lieuten
ant colonel who ranked Paymaster General
Smith , an ofllcur who was not in the list as
a contestant.
Thu comment ou the selection ,
which Is very general , questions the
reasons which Induced the president ,
I seniority were Involved , to pass over
Colonel Rodney Smith , and if seniority were
not In question , to stop short ono file of
Lieutenant Colonel Terrell , wnoso claims
for the place woio certainly as strong on the
grounds of service as Lieutenant Colonel
Smith's , with the added olalin of warm
friendship una devoted services to the presl-
id&nt himselfnnd to the party of which ho is
the chief executive.
Colonel Smith's advancement means that
some of his seniors , who nro older than him
self , can never roach the paymaster general
ship. The only promotion made is that of
Major T. H. Stnntou. who becomes a Houteii-
nnt colonel in consequence.
ALLISON SUAMrCD WITH LETTEItS.
Senator Allison is overwhelmed with loiters
ters from all parts of the country asking
about His alleged change of heart on the
tail IT , nnd says that ho will never again sub
mit to a newspaper interview on any subject.
At present be has scarcely time to road his
mall , much less to uns.\or bb correspon
dents. I asked if ho should reconsider his
views on the tarilt revision so recently ex
pressed on account of this. "No , " ho said.
"If you say anything further about mo und
tho.tnrlff just say that I am a republican and
nm'wllh my party ou every Issue.
COIU'OIIATIONS OIUECT.
The cornorutlons throughout the country
are objecting to the form In whlcu the ques
tions of the census enumerators appear and
have sent u'committoq to Washington to
enter a protest before ( superintendent Porter
and Secretary Noble. The schedules as
drawn are for the purpose of ascertaining as
much information as possible icgardingtho
volume of business In this country , the
amount of mouoy Invested , the nuinpor of
laborers employed , the amount of wages
paid , the annual receipts nnd dis
bursements , for raw material , etc ,
and so on. The answers will bo
confidential nnd the titles only will bo pub
lished , but the corporations object to giving
this information on the ground that it dis
closes private affairs which If known to their
neighbors and rivals might Injure their busi
ness. Tbo law compels all citizens to answer
the questions of the enumerators und it flxns
n penalty for refusal , The enumerators nro
also prohibited from exposing returns to nny
ono but the proper officials. It Is Hardly
probable that Secretary Noble will ask con
gress to change the law or to modify the In
structions of the enumerators. Within u
week the enumerators will begin tbo collec
tion of statistics rognrdlng farms , homes
nnd indebtedness , und insldo of ninety days
the census ugents will havn gone through
the books of records ot uvory county in the
United Status.

A JOKE ON JUDGE.
Practical Jokes are as frequently played on
newspapers as on Individuals. The latest
victim among newspapers Is Judge , nnd u
Montana man's name Is used. Mr. Olllaiu Is
the art manager of Judge and to him nil
pictures have to bo submitted. Recently
Mr. Arkoll , thu owner of Judge nnd Mr. Oil-
lam went on n long trip through iho south
for recreation and roit. During Mr. Gil
lam's absence ho placed a man lu ehargo of
the urt department who know more about
art than ho did about public men. 'Whilu ho
was In charge some outside party scut
in an Idea for a blnok and white
cartoon and used the name of Samuel
Hauser of Montana in the dialogue below
the picture. Tno temporary art manager ,
supposing the name was fictitious , passed
the cartoon for publication in this week's
Judge. On Mr. Glllam's return last Satur
day ho discovered the error , stopped the
presses and altered the name. Part of the
edition , however wus In the mall and be
yond Mr. Glllnm's oontro ) . It Is understood
that the next Issue of Judge will npolo lzoto
Mr. Hnusor for having unintentionally used
his name. It is presumed that Governor
Hausor will take thu JoKe good-naturedly ,
BlIEUMVN'S ' THDST HILL.
A lending member of the senate committee
on finance has made n canvass of the semite
and has comu to the conclusion that Senator
Sherman's bill prohibiting trusts cannot
imss that body. The senator has amended It
In many muturlal respects in order to avoid
some of the objections that luivo been raised ,
but it is still considered un unconstitutional
measure and will bo oppoiod by the great
constitutional ad\ocatos of thu senate. The
bill has been changed so that the paragraph
Which formerly read that "all contracts ,
agreements , trusts or combinations mndo
with a view or which tended
to prevent full und free competition lu lira
ductlou. trade , etc. , " shall rend , "all con
tracts agreements , trusts and combinations
made with un Intention to prevent free
competition , etc. " Again Senator Sher
man has modified his penalty considera
bly by allowing any person or corporation
injured by trusts to recover twlcu the
amount of damages sustained , and the cost
o" suit Instituted , all having a penalty of
tlOCOO aud imprisonment for five years.
While there Is a disposition in the senate to
. \98 \ sotno measure to regulate truils , this
- a Is not at all popular.

" . hnd n long Inlk with Chairman Cruullor
Z-\\o , \ \ world's fair committee today. Ho had
returned from Now York , whore ho has
\ , spending n couple of days looking after
privatu builuess , nnd WAS Waiting for
. 'hicatro ' citizens' committee to Join him
t In reviewing the bill. Mr. Cnndlcr
n o felt thnt the fair now belonged to
C\ \ , , ' 0 , but the light was not over by any
trt ' for the Now York people were still
nt > , t and hopeful that something might
octnir to bring It finally to them. Senator
ator Hlscock had not yet given It up
nor hnd Representatives Bolden ami Flower ,
nnd they were watching legislation with
greit vigilance to catch thu II rat excuse and
opportunity to strike the name of Chicago
from the bill and Insert tnat of New York ,
It was therefore vital that thu bill nnd re
port of the committee should bo drawn with
the utmost care and shrewdness , oven nt
llio cost of delay , so that those who desired
to defeat It uilgnl have the least possible ex
cuse for criticism or objection. 1'ho bill , ns
it Is now drawn , Mr. Candlor thinks , will
meet the objections of the great
constitutional lawyers nnd states'
rights advocates provided they nro honest
nnd have not nmdo use of n constitutional
technicality to cover their doslro to defeat
thu bill. It wat Important that It should
have the approval of Mr. Carlisle who hnd a
largo following In thu house , and nny post
tlon he took would bo sustained by a number
of members. There woio some men who
would not vote for any bill because they do
not want It and do not believe In a fair , but
It was necessary to got us much support ns
possible , for Chicago won in the location
light by n slnglo vote only and a combina
tion of the supporters of thu other cities
might still defeat It.
With regard to the appropriation for the
eovcrnmout exhibit , Mr. Candlcr said thnt
ho wanted a large nnd liberal ono , but ho ha \
not yet received the estimates from the sec
retary of the treasury and did not propose to
report the bill until ho know exactly how
much was needed , That sum , whatever It
was , ho said he believed ho could got without
any trouble.

Senator Aldriub said today that there was

thought the Dolph Investigation , although a
ridiculous proceeding , might ha useful to the
public in increasing this sentiment nnd in
calling public attention to the faults of
secret sessions. While It is absolutely
necessary thnt treaties should bo considered
behind closed doors there is no reason why
nominations to ofllco should bo subjected to
this ruin except in special cases , when a
motion can bu made by nny senator to exclude
the public from the senate chamber ,

been in favor of open sessions , and believes

"Wo , the Jury , upon our oaths do Buy tlml
the deceased cnnm to his denttrfromii wound
mntlo by n bullet IIred from a pistol hold lu
ho own hand , niut with suicidal intent. "
So roads the vordlct of the coroner's Jury ,
coinposud of H. N. Whlttlescy , Chariot
Proctor nnd William Allntrand , which yes-
tcrdnv aftornoou hold ivn Inquest in Council
UlulTs over the body of Andrew Huult , jr. ,
or , as ho Is better Known , "Mieko.v" Ilmilr.
The verdict , however , contained no reference -
once to nnothor matter that occurred Just before -
fore Hank killed hlm-ielf , nnd which nearly
-mado him n murderer as well us n suieldo.
fli fact , ho was u murderer to nil Intents and
purposes , ns ho nttumptod to lull u woman
nnd llrcd the fatal bullet Into his own brain ,
believing that the woman was fatally
wounded.
It was about 2 ! 10 yesterday afternoon
when n carriage was driven hurriedly to the
Council Hlu IT ri police station from lower
Hroadwny , nnd n woman minus nny wraps
nnd with her clothing saturated with blood
alighted nnd entered the building. She said
that "Mickey" Han't had shot her , aud that
she was afraid ho was following her up to
complete the Job. The shooting occurred lit
the UHlo frame house at No. 1506 Broadway ,
nnd tluthor olllcors nt once hurried Mar
shal Guunclla took the woman In a hack and
started for the same place. When they ar
rived the house was surrounded by n curious
crowd , which peered eagerly In at the win
dows. It was then learned that Hank had
committed suicide , nnd the police wcro
guarding the houso.
Wo one was allowed to enter the building
but the coroner nnd the reporters. Thuro
wore but throe rooms , nnd on n bed In the
middle one lay the lifeless body of the
would bo murderer nnd suieldo. Nothing
had been disturbed , nnd the body lay as it
was found. The desperate man h.ul thrown
himself upon his back , placed the rnurzlo of
the tuvolver against his right temple and
pulled the trigger. The bull pasoud directly
through the head nnd lodged Just under the
skin , n llttlo above nnd slightly back of the
left temple , whcrn its position was plainly
marked. Deith had boon instantiuioous , and
the victim had never moved. The hand had
fallen across his hi east and the rcvolvar was
Htlll clutched tiehtly in his lingers whoi
UftUer Austin entered the room.
Austin was ttiu llrst to outer the houso.
He resides Just across the street , and being
upon night duty nt present was at homo at
the time , nnd was , on liana soon after the
trouble occurred. Ho was one of the wit
ncsbcs at the Inquest , and testified that ho
was aroused by the shooting and hurriud
across the street. When ho entered the
house the fatal shot had been flrod , nnd
li.iuk was lying motionless , with the blood
spurting from tliu ugly hole in his head.
The hand holding the revolver was twitch
Ing slightly , and ho wrenched the gun i.way
fiom him , not knowing whether the imia
\\.i3 dead or simply unconscious.
Tnnt was all that ho know about thu mat
ter , other than that ho had guarded the
house after that timo.
1 ho woman wab taken line Mrs. Carter's '
rcbidenco next door anil put to bed , after
which her evidence was taken by the cor
oner's jury , bhu B.iid that her iinmo was
IVUH Kitty I3ouors and that she lived at the
house where the shooting occurred. She had
runted it only two or thrco da.\u befoie , and
had Just movcn in ; in fact , the house .showed
that ji s there was llttlo in it , and nothing
was settled. She mild that her htisbiml de
serted her some time ago , ntU afterwards ,
when on the voi go of starvation , she met
Huult. Ho assisted her nnd bho wen t to live
with him ns his wife. They froquo ntly quar
reled , ana llmilly she was persuaded to leave
him. Haul : would follow her about the
streets nnd often threatened her life. Three
weeks ago lie klciied in tha front door of her
house. She said she was afraid of him , and
had made up nor mind to Illo an information
iifiiinst him on Wednesday and have him
placed urnler bonds to keep thu pu.ico.
llauk knocked at the door yesterday about
fifteen minutes before th' shooting , und than
cnleiod. Ho at once began to abuse lior ,
swearing driiadfully , und said that ho would
kill her If It was not for her child , a little
girl two years of ago , which was playing ou
the floor. Ho then entreated bur to get a
divorce and marry him , which sheiofusod
to do. Ho then drew the revolver , and for
ueveral minutes tore about the house , RWlng-
Ing his weapon and uiaKtng dire throats.
She had no Idea that ho would shoot , as ho
was not under the Influence of lujiitr , but ,
she thought she would leave the huuso and
perhaps no would go away.
She started for the door and ho aimed the
gun nt her , Stio screamed , und ho declared
that if she nmdo another sound he would
kill her. Still doubting that ho would shoot ,
and nt the same time being frightened , as ho
was between her and the door , she Hcrcamed
again. Hauk tired , but missed her. and she
rushed for the door. She dashed past him.
and Just as she leached thu door ho fired
again. The bullet cut through her loft
shoulder , but she did not stop , She had
gone but n few steps until she thought of the
little girl , aud Wont back after lior. Hauk
was standing in the middle of the door
anil was working with the gun. Tuero was
apparently something the matter with it , as
ho had opened it , mid was trying to fix It In
Boiiio way. She picked up the child mid ran
out again. That was all she knew of the
affair.
" 'heao were the only witnesses examined ,
but it was ascertained that Hauk ran out of
the house , but , Booing BO inn ono on the side
walk , wont back , Hu hurried through the
house und looked nut of the front window ,
after whleh ho dlHiippuared. nnd u moment
Inter the thlid and last shot WH llrcd ,
The weapon with which the deed wasdono
Is n Smith & Wesson double-action gun of
83-callbru. When found , there \vns an
empty shell under the hammer , and the other
chambers were empty. On thu Hour were
two loaded cartridges und two empty shells ,
and there was a eartrldgo In each of bis
pants' pockets. Hu hud evidently opened
the gun , when the ejector emptied the cham
bers. 'lho thrco cnrtrldgns und two shells
bad fallen to the floor , and ho had picked up
ono with wnloh to eomploto the work. The
look was rather gummy , nnd that undoubt
edly caused the lntoh that ted him to open
the weapon.
The woman' * Injury Is comparatively
trilling. It Is merely u tlcsb wound , thu but-
lot having gone through the upper part of
the shoulder , but not deep enough to touch
the bone. The openings which marked thu
course of thu bull were but four Inches opart.
She was naturally very much oxoited , but
was resting quite comfortably when a UEU
reporter culled to leurn something of her
history. She was reticent at first , but finally
talked very freely. Shu said that she was
thu daughter of u Methodist minister by the
name of Shurp , In the eastern part of the
state , but would not immo the towu.
Her mother dlod when sha was
small , and lior father married again.
Hur stop mother ill used her , and ulna yuan
ago , when she was fourteen years of age ,
she left home. Since then ahu has novur
board of her parents. Sbo has written
many t.mes , but has received uo uubwer.
