A CoRRthble Charged Witli the Killlug of a
Lawyer Turned Loose on a S$."»00 llond.
SHERMAN, Tex., July 34.—Testimony in
the preliminary examination of Creed
Porter, charged with the murder of J. H.
Cummins at Pottsboro yesterday, is to the
effect that a quarrel arose betweon tho par-
ties over fees in a certain case in the jus*
tice's court. Defendant is the constable of
the precinct. Deceased had resigned tho
office of prosecuting attorney because, as he
alleged, he could not get his fees collected.
The fees over which the quarrel arose be-
longed to a third party, the son of deceased.
Cummins accused Porter of having compro-
mised an af-est, which defendant denounced
ns a lie. A fight was the result. But one
knife was seen, though both iwrties were
seen at different times In nosession of it.
The last words of the deceased as he held
the knife uplifted were, "If he has cut tne
with this I will kill him." Deceased then
fell and shortly afterward expired from
wounds in tbe breast. Four or five hours
afterward defendant was examined. It
was ascertained he was stabbed in tbe right
leg and another wound was found ou his
breast,
On cross-examination it was shown that
in the attack deceased was the atrgressor,
that deceased was not called a liar until he
had accused defendant of ofiicial corrup-
tion, that defendant had the knife in Dlain
view at the time he told deceased he was i
not able to fight him, that deceased was
over six feet in height, strong, robust and
about 40 years old, and defendant is a small
man, 61 years old. At the conclusion of tho
bearing the court put defend nit's bond at
fo00, which he gave without trouble, to
await the Ktion of the grand jury.
THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.
IT IS LOADED DOWN WITH
AMENDMENTS.
The Texan§*All Against tho Measure—The
Election Hill Said to lie losing Strength
—KcKlnley's Opinion About It—Pos-
tal and Other News.
WAsniN<;Toy, July 21.— [Special]—The
house settled down to voting on tbe bank-
ruptcy bill this morning. Amendment
after amendment was offered and
voted oi\ but no discussion al-
lowed. There was loud complaint over
this, because the bill had been discussed
and amendments discussed by the business
men's meeting at Minneapolis, which pro*
duced tho measure, and yet the leaders pre-
vented the discussion of the amendments in
the house. Many amendments were
adopted, some of them very material.
A change was made so as to limit
the appointment of referees to
judicial districts instead of congressional
districts ns provided in the bill. The pro-
visions requiring the district attorney to
appear In bankruptcy proceedings wore
stricken out. The provisions were 3trlcken
out also which created an involuutaiy bank-
ruptcy when a debtor failed to pay an open
account in sixty doys, or when he failed to
replevy property levied on within thirty
days^ or when an execution against a debt-
or's goods should be returned with nulla
bona indorsed on it. An amendment was
also adopted striking out the part of the
the bill providing for the arrest of the
bankrupt on allegation that he
wns about to depart from the juris-
diction of the court. A further
amendment was agreed to which destroys
the discrimination between the amount to
be paid into the clerk of the district court
in estates of J5000 and over and estates of
less value. There were many other amend-
ments adopted and the above aro only « few
of the important ones.
All the democratic representatives from
the big cities voted for the bill. The repre-
sentatives from districts with small towns
opposed It. All the Texans voted against
the measure except Moore and Mills. Tho
latter was away from the city and was
pai.ed.
congressional apportionment,
The interest in the disposition of th9 re-
publican party to pass an apportionment bill
is growing. It is now declared that eleven
republicans can be gained from a few of the
northwestern states alone, while there will
be an increase in but two of the southern
states. Missouri aud Texas. The former
would get one more representative while
the latter would get four.
Mr. Porter, Jbo superintendent of the
census, has advised the leaders of the re-
publican party that be can furnish them
the data to proceed on by the middle of next
month.

The general opinion here seems to bo that
the election hill has lost strength within
the past week, but the republicans are so
close mouthed that there are no grounds oa
which to base the declaration that there
has been a change.

senate.
Washington, July 24.— The senate met
at 11 a. in., the vice president in tbe chair.
Mr. Morgan introduced a bill to fix the
limit of value nnd to provide for the free
coinage of silver, and it was read and re-
ferred to the committee on finance. It re-
cites that the market value of silver bull-
ion is rapidly approaching the value of
gold on a standard relation fixed by the
laws of the United States, and that there is
no provision of law for the coinage of
standard silver dollars or purchase of silver
bullion by tbe government when tbe value
of silver bullion exceeds $1 for 371'f grains
of pure silver. It therefore provides that
tbe unit of the valne in the United States
shall be the dollar of 413>j' grains of stand-
ard silver or 25 3-10 grains of gold: that
I these coins shall be legal tender for all
debts, public and private, and that any
owner of silver or gold bnllion may deposit
at any mint to be formed into dollars or
bars for his benefit and without charge.
He called special attention of the finance
I committee to tbe bill, which he said was
the same as had already received a majority
* of 1? in the senate. He had Introduced It
| because he was convinced that In advance
the immediate future of the country, he
thought it would bo well enough to make
some proviso so silver or gold bulliou would
not be withdrawn from tbe United States
MANY by auy other interested governments and

tions.
r iie senate resumed consideration of tho
iSw'n Appropriation bill.
" he amendment which provoked discus -
sion was tho one increasing an appropria-
tion of $100,000 for the support of Indian
schools to $150,000, including tho construc-
tion of a school building at tho Blackfeet
agoacy, Mont. Mr, Vest opposed the
amendment as an introduction of a system
intended to abolish denominational educa-
tion amonir the Indians. He spoke of an
official visit which he had made to an.
Indian agency seven or eight years ago and
of his observation of the work of the
Catholic church in educating Indians. The
school building which had beon erected
there by the Catholic church was then
stauding unoccupied, because tha agent
would not permit the Jesuits to teach any
of the Indian children.
His opinions on the subject were fixed.
The Jesuits bad cucceeded better than any
other people living in the education of In-
dians. Whatever prejudice—if that was the
proper word—he might have against the
society of Jesuits, he had to say that much
as nn educated proteatant.
Mr. Davis also opposed the amendment.
Mr. Vest explained his position to be that
if the Catholics were doiug better in edu-
cating the Indians, he was in favor of the
Catholics, and that if the Presbyterians or
Baptists were doing moro he wns in favor
of them. But be was convinced that the
Catholics were far more efficient among the
Indians than anv proteatant denomination
couid be. No other denomination could
tako tlioir place, because the Indians, like
all other people emerging from barbarism,
had received religious impressions that
were permanent, lie did not care whether
it might bo called religion or superstition.
Indians wero Catholics and would remain
Catholics. There were tribes wliieh bad re-
ceived from some peculiar personal influ-
ences a direction toward somo particular
protestant deuomlnai ion.
The discussion was continued by Teller,
who also spoke of the Catholics as the
most, successful educators of the Indians,
and hy Mr. Jones of Arkansas, who gave
figures to show tbe great difference in ex-
pense between government schools for In-
dians and those carried on by religious de-
nominations. He ridiculed the Idea put
forward by tho commlsioner of Indian
affairs as to the necessity of high education
for Indian children so as vo make them
"leaders of thought," and said It was much
more important for them to learn how to
carry on farms, build bouses and raise cat-
tle. After further dobate tho amendment
was agreed to.
An amendment appropriating f23.000 for
the eroction of an Indian industrial school
near the village of Flandreaux, S. 1)., was
discussed and agreed to; also a like amend-
ment for an industrial school near Maudau,
N. 1).
The next amendments were to strlkn out
two items, one of j833!) for the support and
education of sixty Indian pupils at. St.
Joseph's normal school at Rensselaer, lnd..
and oue of ?I2,500 for 100 Indian children at
the Ho'.y Family Indian school at Black-
foot agency, Mont.
Mr. Dawes spoke of relatively large ap-
propriations made for the Catholic Indian
schools, the amount tor 1SS9 being ?339.000,
asatainst I204.00C for schools of all other
denominations.
The Indian bureau has adopted a policy
of not enlarging the connection of the gov-
ernment with denominational schools.
That policy had b"eu supposed to have al-
layed agitation of the question on all sides,
but there was a very efficient, urgent and
activo Catholic bureau of missions in Wash-
ington city which was ve:y earnest in push-
| ing the Catholic Indian schools on the gov-
ernment. T|ie Indian bureau having de-
clined to enter into a contract for th-eo new
schools in Indiana, California and Mon-
tana, this mission bureau had gone to the
house of representatives and had obtained
insertion of those three items. The senate
committee on appropriations had thought
that It would allow it for the California
school, because It belonged to a mission
which had been at work in southern Cali-
fornia for 125 years.
The committee on appropriations, Mr.
Dawes went on to sa», had shrunk from
doing anythiugthat mlgbt.awaken religious
discussion on the subject of Indian schools.
It could do nobody any good and that wa9
tho reasun why the committee had recom-
mended the striking out of the two items
for public schools In Indiana aud Montana.
If they were kept in the bill the Episcopal-
ians nnd Methodists and Baptis's would say
that they bad not been fairly treated. If
tho bars were let down tho government
would be abandoning a position taken that
the statu quo should remaio, aud would bo
throwing into the arena of disoussiou an
element that would do more barm than it
could do good.
At 2 o'clock the tariff bill came itp ns un-
finished business and was laid aside till to-
morrow.
Reagan doclarcd himself opposed to any
connection between cburch and state and
to all denominational schools. Ho would
have all Indian schools carried on under
the cantrol of the United States govern-
ment. Mr. Davis said the Indian children
were the wards of tbe nation, and if the
government chose to edacate them in Catii-
| olic schools, Methodist schools or Baptist
I schools it bad the right to do so. The gov-
ernment had the right to take advantage of
facilities which tho pioneers of ahristinnity
i offered to it. Jones of Arkansas argued
that Indians should be allowed to select
| schools to which their children should tie
[ sent, and if they chosa to b,*DJ them to de-
nominational schools tbo government
should contribute to their support. Finally
the vote was taken and the amendments
were rejected—yeas 19. nays 27. So tho
items for Rensselaer, lnd., Banning, Cal.,
aud Blackfeet agency, Mont.,are retained in
the bill.
There being no further amendments re-
ported by tho committee on appropriations
tbe reading of tho bill was continued to Its
close without discussion or Interruption.
Mr. Pettigrew offered an amendment ap-
propriating $45,000 for the Santee tribe of
Sioux Indians, located at Flandreau, S. D.,
being an allowance of $1 an acre for land to
which they are entitled in the Sioux reser-
vation. Agreed to. On motion of Mr. Pet-
tigrew an item of J40.000 was inserted for
thirty school bulldinirs for tho Sioux In-
dians. On motion of Mr. Power an item
for « school building at tbe Blackfoot
agency at Montana was amended by fixing
the limit at (33,000. The bill was then re-
ported to the seuate, and all amendments 1
agreed to by tbe committee of tbe whole
were concurred in and tbe bill pa»«ed.
Mr. Usle Introduced a joint resolution
providing that nothing in tbe diplomatic
consular appropriation bill thall be con-
strued to Interrupt the publication of tbe I

DEATH RATHER THAN DISEASE.
A Consumptive Commits . Suicide Ilatlior
than 13 'nr His Longer.
Houston, Tex., July 24.—To-night about
6 o'clock Charles, a brother of I)r
Cook, local surgeon of the k
road, committed suicide by shooting birus
self through the head with a shotgun. It
occurred at the residence of his brother, Dr.
C<Jok, corner of Main and McGowau streets,
in frout of the entrance to tlio fair grounds.
Deceased had been sutlerin^ from consump-
tion for a long time and was gradu illy
growing worse. Lately ho bud btconio very
despondent. His home had been at liia
brother's for two years, and the family, ob-
serving his growing despondency of late,
wero doing everything possible to cheer
him up, but despite their ellorts he became
very much dejected, and a few days ago
stated that he would rather die at once than
suffer as he had lately done.
When the shootiug occurred I)r. Cook
was away from home, but luckily for the
family there was a young gentleman in the
yard at the time, aud hearing the report
and in respousa to cills of Mrs. Cook, the
doctor's wife, be hurried to the sick man's
room on the second floor nnd found him
lying dead, the entire charge having taken
effect. Tho family was thrown into a state
of intense excitement und the doctor waa
sent for at ouce, but when he arrived life
had some time been extinct.
The deceased was born in 1852 and was in
his younger days a fine specimen of man*
hood, bat a few years ago his health began
to decline, since which time he had been a
member of his brother's family, who cared
for him tenderly from the incipiency of the
malady to which he was a victim. The doc-
tor used every effort, to benefit, his health
and spirits by the administration of remedi-
al agents ana placing in his reach every di-
version that would engage his attention
and dispel his gloom. A few days ago ho
stated that he had rather die at ouce than
suffer as he had been doin^.
Only since his death has tbe significance
of tho remark appeared. Deceased had been
living iu this city only about seven months.
He lived many years in Austin where his
father, Abner H. Cook, now deceased,
lived. There in tho days of his health he
was known to bo the possessor of rare no-
bility of character. His liberality and
magnanimity were groat, almost to a fault.
Ho never met a man in need but that ho
was willing to share to the half of his last
dime.
His brother, the doctor, aud his family
have the.^warmest sympathy of a circle of
friends in this city. The body will be takeu
to Austin, leaving here to-morrow forenoon
at 9 o'clock, where it will lie interred wi*h
his parents iu the family burying grounds.
The father of deceased was quito wealthy,
and left a good deal of property in Austin
at tbe time of his death,
