II expressed the hope the commission would use every effort to get to the bottom of the matter under considera tion. Commissioner Kernan assured blm the investigation would be thorough.

The direct evidence of the negro detective, coupled with circumstantial evidence, will un doubtedly convict him of murder. Washington, Aug. 16. The republi can steering committee today decided to support the motion to refer the four sup plemental tariff bills to the finance com mittee, and to seek to amend in various ways, the principal amendment being for a repeal of the tariff bill just passed. They count upon the votes of Hill, Caf fery, Blancbard, Allen and Kyle. If the repeal amendment should fail, they would seek to substitute a bounty pro vision in the pending bill for free sugar, and would expect to secure the votes of these five senators, except Hill. They will also offer other amendments in . orinin inn ti ntrencies. including one for a duty on wool. They admit the sugar bill should pass, with an amendment providing, either for bounty or for the reneal of the main bill. The house probably would refuse to accept it, and most likely would fail in conference, but they claim the senate, especially the republican senators, would not ue responsible for that result.
