propriations, gathered in their com-mittee
room at 10 o’clock this
morning for the purpose of begin
ning the preparation of their bills,
in order that there may be no delay
when congress assembles in Decern
ber. It is thought that the new
tariff bill now being prepared by
the ways and means committee will
be completed in a few days, though
it is not probable that its contents
will be made pnblio before it is
presented to oongress. The senate
committee on foreign relations will
it is thought, be convened by
special request of the president in
time to formulate a course of aotion
in regard to the Hawaiian question
before the meeting of congress.

Trial of E. W. Harris for Kill-
Ing-Dr. Yowell at Denison.
8pecial to the News.
Shebman, Tex., Nov. 20.—The
most sensational murder case ever
tried in this county has occupied
the attention of the district court
here for several days, and is rapidly
drawing to a close. It is the case
E. W. Harris, editor of the
Greenville Herald, who killed Dr.
Yowell on the streets of Denison
some months ago.
Yowell formerly lived in Green-ville,
and claimed to have been inti-mate
with Harris’ wife. He told
his story to a great many people,
even going so far as to make a con-fident
of a negro train porter. The
story was repeated to Harris by
several of his friends, to whom
Yowell had told it, and he drove
over to Denison and shot Yowell
down as soon as he found him.
The evidence was conclusive as
to Yowell’s making these state-mente,
and there stems no doubt of
their falsity. The taking of testi-mony
was concluded this morning
and the argument has commenced.
Attorneys for the defense have no
doubt of a verdiot of acquittal, and
the general opinion is that the jury
will not leave the box. The verdict
is expeoted to be returned tonight.

By Associated Preen to The News:
New Obleans, Nov. 20.—Sena
tors George, of Mississippi, and
Bate, of Tennessee, members of the
senate agricnltural committee, ap
pointed a sub committee at the last
session of congress to investigate
and report on the depression in the
ootton industry are here today. They
will thoroughly inquire into every
branch of cotton business in this
oity and will snmmon before them
and examine leading merchants in
each branch.
After concluding their examina-tion
here they will prooeed to the
interior and carefully look into the
planting interests. Another sub-committee,
composed of Senators
Peffer, Roach and Washburn, was
appointed, who have charge of the
grain and live stock branches of
inquiry.
It is probable a partial report
will be submitted early in the ap-proaching
session of congress, in so
far as grain and cattle are 00 ■
oerned, but the inquiry into cotton
has only fairly begun, and will not
be in shape to present to congress
for several months. After the in-qniry
connected with ootton pro-duction
is completed, Senators
Bate and George will be joined by
Senator Proctor, the third member
of the snb committee, and they will
proceed to the ootton manufactnr-ing
districts of New England and
other eastern states, to continue in-vestigation
into that branch of the
trade.

By Associated Press to the News.

cruise around in this vicinity for a
couple of days. Capt. Zalinski is
on board, and he will give instrno-tions
to those on board in handling
the dynamite guns. The Nichteroy
has sailed around and has stopped
near Scotland lightship, where she
has apparently anchored.

its own fairly, despite the bad break
in provisions. There was no par-ticular
reason for the firmness that
could be seen on the snrfaoe. May,

international trns*. Continuing the

share of the trade will agree with
the view of the Russians.”
