IDAHO'S SENATORS.
The Right of the State to Elect Three
Questioned in the Senate.
THE REASON WHY IT WAS DONE.
Senator Shoup Sworn In?The Cre
dentials of the Other Two Referred.
THE CLOTURE BILL REPORTED
8EHATK.
The Senate met at noon. The Vice President
laid before the Senate a communication from
the governor of Idaho, transmitting credentials
of the Senators-elect from that state?Messrs.
George I*. Shonp and Wm. J. McConnell. The
credential* having been read, Mr. Hoar moved
that, as Mr. Shoup was present, the oath of
office be administered to him.
KOBE SENATORS THAN THE LAW AIXOWS.
Mr. Vance remarked that the new state of
Idaho appeared to have elected more than its
fair share of Senators, and he thought that the
credentials should be referred to the commit
tee on privileges and elections.
Mr. Hoar said that as he understood there
were only two Senators chosen from that state.
He thought that his motion took precedence of
Mr. Vance's.
SENATOR 8HOUP SWORN IK.
Mr. Hoar's motion having been agreed to
that Senator escorted Mr. Shoup to the clerk's
desk, where he took the oath of office and sub
scribed to it.
Mr. Harris subsequently inquired what had
become of Mr. Vance's motion and said that
Mr. Shoup had been simply sworn on his
prima facie case.
HOT THE WAT TO DO IT.
Mr. Vance remarked that it was stated in the
newspapers that three Senators had been
elected in Idaho and that the legislature had
gone to the extent of assigning to each of them
the term for which he should serve. That waa
contrary, he said, to the rule of the Senate and
to the constitutional provision. He thought it
proptr, therefore, that the question should be
determined by the proper committee of the
Senate.
A FALAR REPORT.
Mr. Mitchcll said that he had reliable infor
mation that neither the legislature of Idaho nor
the Senators-elect had attempted in any shape,
manner or form to determine which of them
should have the long and which the short term.
That was a false report. So far as the election
of three Senators was concerned he held that
that was regular ami in order.
Every one knew that the term of one of the
two Senators whose credentials had been pre
sented would expire on the 4th of March
next, and that being so the legislature hail tlio
right to elect a Senator for the six years' term
to begin then.
MR. UOAB HATS THE QUESTION IS A SIMPLE ON*.
Mr. Hoar argued thr. me question was a very
simple one. It was clear and unquestionable
that one of the two Senators whose credentials
had just been presented wonld go ont on the
4th of March. 1891. and the lcgiidature (being
in session) had elected a Senator for the term
which would then begin. Beyond all question
there would be a vacancy at that time, because
one of those two gentlemen would have to go
out on the 4th of March, 1891.
SO RIGHT TO ASSUME.
Mr. Carlisle argued that the legislature of
Idaho had no right to assume (in advance of
action by the Senate) that there would be a
vacancv in the Senate from that state on the
4th of March. 1891. No election of a Senator to
till such a vacancy could take place until it waa
legally known that that vacancy would occur.
After it had been determined by the Senate in a
constitutional way that there would bea vacancy
after the 4th of March next the legislature of
Idaho (if in session) might proceed at once to
choose a Senator; and, if the legislature was
not in session, an appointment of a Senator
should be made bv the governor of the state.
He imagined that thera uever had been a case,
in the history of the country, where a state
legislature had chosen three Senators at once.
A CONSTITUTIONAL VACANCY.
Mr. Hawley?Is it not imperative under the
Constitution that there shall be a vacancy after
the 4th of March next?
Mr. Carlisle?I think so.
Mr. Hawley?Then how could the legislature
of Idaho be any more certain of that fact three
months hence than it is to-day?
Mr. Carlisle? Each one of these gentlemen
holds precisely the same form of credentials.
Now. I want the Senator to state what the Sen
ate would do in case all three of them pre
sented their credentials at the same time? How
wonld the Senate determine thnt two of them
were legally elected and that one of them waa
not?
The discussion was continued by Messrs.
Stewart, Sanders, Cockrell, Spooner, Beagan
and Mitchell.
MR. SPOOLER'S QtTKRlES.
Mr. Spooner asked Mr. Reagan whether the
state of Idaho was not entitled to two Senators.
Mr. Beagan?Yes.
Mr. Spooner?The legislature of Idaho
adopted a resolution to proceed to an election
to nil the two existing vacancies, and it elected
Mr. Shonp and Mr. McConnell without specify
ing the length of term for either, leaving that to
be determined by the Senate. How does that
fact affect the question of the legislature having
elected ft third m?n whose term of office is
to commence in the future?
wo QUORUM.
Mr. Hoar moved tit lay on the table Mr.
Vance's motion to refer the credentials to the
committee on privileges and elections. The
vote was taken and it resulted: Yeas, 23; nays,
15 (no quorum). The roll was then called and
fifty-three Senators answered to their names.
Th? showed the presence of more than a
quornm. but several of those present were
paired and could not vote.
THE CREDENTIALS REFERRED.
At the suggestion of Mr. Hoar the call for
the yeas and nays was withdrawn, his own mo
tion to lay on the table was withdrawn and Mr.
Vance's motion to refer the credentials of
Mesars. Shoup and McConnell to tne committee
on privileges and elections waa agreed to.
REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES.
Among the bills reported from committees
and placed on the calendar were the following:
Senate bill to establish a marine board for
the advancement of the interests of the mer
chant marine.
| [House bill to facilitate the collection of com
mercial statistics as required by the river and
harbor appropriation bill of 1866.
Senate Dill to carry into effect certain re
commendations of the international marine

iron hull.
House bill to relinquish the interest of the
United States in oertain lands to the city and

BILLS PASSED.
Senate bill for the relief of the inhabitants of
the tows of Gallup, in Bernavilla county, New
Mexico (in reference to school lands), waa re
ported and passed
oca trade uunm wm Canada.
Mr. Carlisle introduced a Joint resolution (or
the appointment of commissioner* to oonfer
witt commissioners of Canada to oonsider
the trade relations between the two ooun tries,
aad H.was referred to the select nonntttes on
relations with Canada.
Mr. Faulkner offered a resolution (which
wsnt over till tomorrow) oaOing on the super
intendent of the census for informationito
the population of each oonnty in the state of
West Virginia.
THE CLOTURE BULE.
Mr. Aldrich offered his resolution for the
amendment of the rules, which he had hereto
fore given notioe of, and asked Unit it be printed
and laid over.
Mr. Cockrell asked whether it was now in
order to move to refer the resolution to the
committee on rules.
Mr. Aldrich- Not now. That motion will be
in order when the resolution comes up. It is
not before the Senate.
Mr. Cockrell?Why is it not?
Mr. Aldrich?Bv liiy asking that it go orer.
Mr. Cockrell?Then tKe Senator offers the
resolntion and then object* to it, a.-<king that it
go over?
Mr. Aldrich?That is the practical effect.
Mr. Cockrell?All right.
The resolution went over.
IDAHO'S THREE SENATORS.
Om of Them Sworn In?Tb? Credentials of
the Other two Referred.
After a prolonged and bitter struggle for
statehood and the rights and privileges per
taining thereto Idaho is at last represented on
the floor of the Senate, the senatorial oath hav
ing this morning been administered to George
L. Shoup. Up to within Are minutes of noon
it seemed as though there would be
very many less than a quorum present,
for Senator McMillan was the only
Senator risible on the flour. Within a
minute or two Senators Teller, Dolpli, Stock
bridge, Allen. Pasco and Cockrell put in an ap
p6arnnce and then came Senator Sanders in
company with Senators-elect Shoup and Du
bois. While these latter were being greeted
by fellow republicans Wade Hampton entered
the chamber for the first time during the pres
ent session; Mr. Irby was not in his chair, so he
sat down.
BE* AoE SHOUP SWOEH I*.
Chaplain Butler's prayer was brief and then
came the reading of the journal, probably the
kast lengthy on record, it consisting of less
than two type-written lines. As soon as it was
disposed of the Vice President laid before the
Senate thfc credentials of George L. Shoup,
properly tied with an appropriate shade of rib
bon and adorned with a huge gilt seal -the
seal of the state of Idaho. It was an interesting
fact in connection with the credential* thut the
election of Senator Shoup was certified by Gov.
Shoup?one and the same individual, he liaving
resigned gubernatorial honors for the higher
pomtion.
Senator Vance was verv promptly on his feet
with a motion to refer the credentials both of
Senators Shoup and McConnell to the commit
tee on privileges and elections, at the same time
intimating that Idaho had more than her share
of Senators, having, as he understood it, elected
three.
Senator Spooner said: "I wouldn't do that."
and Senator Hoar got up and moved that the
oath be administered to Mr. Shoup. Senator
Hoar's motion had precedence and it was put.
The nays could have been numerous nad
the democrats known just what to do. but there
was evidently no understanding on the subject,
so the ayes had it and Senator Hoar escorted
Col. Shoup to the Vice President's det-k and
stood by him while he took the oath. Then
Capt. Bassett took the new Senator in tow and
conducted him to his new desk, which is next
to that of Senator Warren of Wyoming.
PROLONGED DI6CC8SIOX.
A long debate then ensued on the proceed
ings of the Idaho legislature, which had culmi
nated in the election of three Senators, and
there were those who were of opinion that the
discussion was prolonged for the purpose of
wasting some of the time that might otherwise
have been applied to the elections bill.
THE RETREAT OP GKS. SHKRXAN'.
One of the interesting and amusing features
of the debate was the retreat of Gen. Sherman
before Senator Cockrell'* critical fire. The
old general entered the chamber while the
Missourian was engaged in argument with Sena
tors Spooner and Sanders and he was straight
way surrounded by numerous Senators, Hawley,
Evarts and Stewart being conspicuous.
Verv naturally there was conversation and
then Mr. Cockrell loudly eiprew<<d iii? -<-illin,<
ness to yield the floor to the group that clu>
tered around the old warrior, i he Mi.^Nourian's
remarks caused the conversationalists to
make a haatv retreat to the republican
cloak room. ' Time makeit all things
even. Twenty-five years ago it was
Mr. Cockrell, who was unavoidably doing the
retreating, and Gen. Sherman was one of the
causes. Today the rebel brigadier was in the
saddle, as it were, and the Union forces move
backward.
MURDER or A POSTMASTER.
A Talk With the Brother af the Dead
Official.
The killing of John Prentiss Matthews, the
postmaster at Carrollton, Miss., by young Mc
Bride will probably turn out to be a cause
celebre. The shooting was mentioned in Fri
day's Star. Matthews was shot down on the
street by McBridc. A Stab reporter yesterday
saw Mr. J. M. Matthews of Mississippi, who
was the repulican candidate for Congress
against Gen. Hooker at the last election and
who is also a brother of the dead man.
Mr. Matthew, had iust received the following
telegram fromjCarrollton: "John was murdered
by a mob- He had been notified by a dozen
men that a mob was going to kill him that day.
He saw the men with their guns and he got'a
rifle. When he did this the sheriff arrested
him and placed him under bonds. John pointed
three men out to tho sheriff and aaked him to
arrest them and protect his life. The sheriff
refused. It was a plot and all were in it John
told Loyd (a young man working for him) he
thought" they would kill him before ni^ht. He
staid at the post office until his second dinner
bull rang, wncn he said he would go to dinner.
They begged him not to go. but he said he
would. When he reached the hotel steps
McBride, who was still in his drug store, shot
him down with a shot gun, killing him in
stantly. Not satisfied with this McBride fired
five nhots at him from a revolver after he was
dead. The mob then began dancing and shout
ing around the bodv with the most vile abuse
and curses. John had received several anony
mous letters telling him he must leave the
town. The murderer goes free and all because
they must have the poet office at Carrollton."
KILLED BECAUSE BE WAS A REPUBLICAN
"My brother," Mid Mr. Matthews, "was only
twenty-one years old. He was a bright, in
telligent boy. He was appointed postmaster
several months ago at Carrollton and while
since there there have been a 'number of
threats at his life I did not think anything
would come of it He was the fir.-:t republican
postmaster to take the Carrollton office for
manv years and it was freely said that no
republican should hold the office. Carrollton
is Senator George's home."
Mr. Matthews, tile dead man, comes of an
old family in Mississippi. In 1883 his father
was shot down by a moo at Hazelhurst, Mis*
Opposed to Adfiadsc the Caao.

A St Petersburg correspondent states that a
new law against the Hebrews will be promul
gated with the opening of the new year. It
forbids selling, leasing or mortgaging to a He
brew any estate within the empire: all privi
leges heretofore granted to certain Hebrew
merchants as to the ownership of real estate
are canceled: Hebrew artisans who have been
liermitted to reside outside of the Hebrew pale
will have to return. The misery consequent
upon this new decree can hardly be estimated.

guard since 1855.
ESTABLISHING THE WHIPKNO FOOT.
Home Secretary Matthews has been in con
sultation with the magistrate* of Lancashire in
regard to the establishment of the whipping
post as a penalty for the crime commonly called
"scuttling" or running amuck, which ia be
coming alarmingly frequent in towns of north
western England. The persons guilty of it run
through a crowd, stabbing right and left, and
often creating a panic more injurious in results
than the immediate injury indicted. The
Cesent law is said to be inadequate as a de
rrent.

It is stated on apparently good authority that

"The agitation ia the sonth over the Lnd*?

the conclusion that more time was n-eded. It
will come about in time, but the tune IS not
