A DEHPEHATE NEGRO.
Shoot a Wliile Man and Woman in
Tacoma Yeeterday.
Tauoma, May 14. Charlea Gomaa, a
colored mam, axed 27, a hot Mr. A.
Helnhort and A. J. Verbeek. both
white, at 1:30 rhU morning. The aiioot
Ing vu 'lone In the office of the VII
lard Hotel. The woman wa .hot twice,
f ne bullet striking her ova-r the heart
and the other grazing ber hip. The
waa .truck on the right breast.
None of the wound will. It la thought,
prove fatal.
Gomaa early last evening went to
Mr. Iteinhart'. room In the Viliard
Houhc. and opening the door, pointed
a revolver at nor. She aefzed the wea
pun and tl-e bull went wide of l:a
mark. Gomaa then left the room and
later went to bed. The cane waa re
pa.rted to the police, but the woman
said Gomaa had gone to bed and woul 1
loave the city next day, and she re
quested tha; h-- be not arrested. Mr.,
lu-lnhart was afraid to return and re
mained to the hotel office until Gennan
came back. She waa talking with Ver
beek when the colored man entered the
room. Verbeek asked what time It va-oa.
Gomaa said. "I will ahow you what
time it Is." and drew his gun and shot
Verbeek in the chest. The woundrd
man then started for the door, when
his assailant turned and shot Mr
keinhart. Mr. Reinhart had promise l
to marry Gomaa. Verbeek waa paying
arte nuon to the woman and this incited
the Jealousy of the negro.
Gomaa attempted to shoot the officer
who arrtsted him. He gave his occu
paikm as that of a sailor.
DCRRANT IS INNOCENT.
According to a Convic t In Sar. Qu -n.I.i
Prison.
San Francifcco, May 14. Theodore
Durramt, through his attorneys, will
.v.k Governor Budd talay to pardon
him, on the ground that tt; r n-.ur-dervr
of Blanche Lamont has at last
confessed his crime. The lawyers de
clare that they have not been hoaxed.
nor Is it their purpose to impose on the
executive. They insist that in the per
son of John Rosenberg, convict at San
Quentin prison, they have discovered
the man who Is guilty of the horrors
of Emmanuel church. John Rosen
berg has made a sworn confession be
fore a notary public and tn the pres
ence of several witnesses that he killed
Blanche Lamont at the Instigation ct
a stranger and In consideration of the
payment of $700 for his bloody work.
It is with this sensation that the at
torneys will strengthen their case at
Sacramento today. The story. and its
details is one of the most remarkable
that has developed In the case. Ro
senberg is a Russian sailor and arrived
here o;i a sailing vessel from Ham
burg during the last week of March,
1S93, or on the first day of April. He
is now serving a term for horse steal'
Ing and appears to be sane.
MORE DEMOCRATIC TROUBLE.
Division on the Tariff Bill Think They
Should Present a New One.
Washington, May 14. There Is a .if
ference of optoi"n among the denyx-ratic
inemtwrs of the senate committee on
finance as to the policy to be pursued
In regard to the tariff bill. Some of
them, notably Senator Gorman, are of
the opinion that the democrats should
prepare a substitute bill and introduce
tt. They suggest thalt this subslitutts
should embody a tariff favoring uni
formly lower rates than the republican
bill, either as prepared, In the house, or
as amended by the senate committee
on finance.
There is, however, quite a pronounced
opposition to this programme on the
part of many democratic senators, in
cluding several members of the com
mittee on finance. They take the
position that the safest oourse for the
party Is to stand by the Wilson bill
which, while it Is not perfH.-t, is still a
democratic measure. The party, they
say. Iuls taken the position that no tar
iff legislation is nec.enary. The vam
palu was fought ttfi other conditio. is
and they hold that to raise the tarilt
question on their own motion would be
Inconsistent and unwise. Those who
hold to this Idea are willing that
amendments should be offered enverns
ail the schedules and it is probable that
this course will be pursued.

WILD SCENES IN
Trouble Over an Attempt to fuse the
Gold Democrats and Republicans.
"FALSEHOOD AND INDECENCY"
Were tie Vordt Darted Bett.ee ..embers
Vko Were Aboit Readj to'Driw
Their Gias.
Frankfort, Ky., May 14. -A wild aerna
occurred In the senate today over tha
attempt to fuse the gold democrols
and republican fwces thrraugh a bill
providing for the putting of one nam
under two different device on the state
election ballota. The sliver democrats
outgeneraled the opposition, got one
of their number. Senator Goebel, la
the chair pending an appeal, and ad
journed the enaite.
The appeal waa from a ruling of
the regular republican president, who
counted a quorum present, altnougti
some members were not voting. The
majairity refused to stand adjourned on
the announcement of the speaker pro
tern. President Worthington waa urged
back In the chair. "Falsehood and in.
d?cency" were the words hurled be.
tw een Stephen n and Gobel, who seem
ed about to draw weapons. Men bad
gitit befcw the president and
Brvmson, but the preaMent Anally de
clared the senate adjourned because
the democratic cierka. who left on the
nrt armouncetr.ent of adjournment,
"wrauld not do their duty," as he ex
pressed It. A fight will b; male against
any quorum till the end of the session,
and if the president a'aln counts a
quorum trouble !s expectrd.
