SKNATOP STANFOHD DISSATISFIEDSpecial to tho Gazett-

eWashington Oct 7 It is reportedfrom California that SenatorLeland Stan-ford

¬

seriously contemplates resigning hisseat The information is not unexpectedin Washington where it has been knownfor the past year that Senator Stanford isdissatisfied with his political surroundingsFor years Senator Stanfords great wealthand prominence in railway circles havemade him a conspicuous figure In shorthe was one of the best known and mostinfluential Americans of the present dayand generation He accepted an electionto the United States Senate

that the excitementof political life would assuagehis grief for the loss of his only son whohad died a few months previous Neverwas a man more grievously disappointedSenator Stanford realized before he hadbeen in the Renate a month that he wasso far as influence and importance went

mere nonentity lie found as manySther new comers have found who be-

come a pirt of the Senatorial body thatuntil he had served hio novitiate ao tospeak that he must be seen and notheard He found that that Intangiblething known as the courtesy of the Senaterequired him to Temain silentduring his first teim whilejiic experienced legislators assHdmnnds Sherman Dawes Hoar BeckMorgan and others shaped the policy andcontrol of their respective parties It-is not to be wondered at that the changewas as surprising as it was humiliatingSenator Stanford would have resigned atonce but for the fact that the Governor ofCalifornia was a Democrat who wouldfill the vacancy with a representative ofthat party It wa3 a sore disappointmentto Governor Stanford that the CaliforniaJjiegislature of last year was also Democfatic but for this he would have resignedmonths ago It is now probable thathe will serve out his presentterm which will expire in 1891but it is not putting too flue a point uponit to say that no amount of entreaty willagain prevail upon Governor Stanford toreenter public life when he shall haveput it bahind him four years hence

NEATLY DRESSED LADIESUp to last night Hampton had made no

confession of the crime and today yourreporter visited the jail at 1130 a mwith an interpretor and calling Hamptonto the bars asked if he was guilty ofmurdering Lloyd when he made the fol-lowing statement I had been marriedabout one month and had just got a cer-tificate

¬

from the judge and was on myway home I passed the camp of thewhite man and eaw him sitting by thelire I stepped in about thirty feet ofhim and

SHOT HIM IN THE BACKkilling him I then took his money 7-

or 8 as near as I can remember I dontknow how I came to take his life

He was then asked why he killed hisvictim and replied that he did not haveanything against him and did noteven know who he wsthat there were too many whites in theTerritory and that a man named FrankGreenwood had told himto kill thewhites In closing the interview he said

I have been praying eversince I was putin jail I killed the white man for noth-ing

¬

and am willing to die and want topay for the blood of the white man withmy own blood I am willing and readyto be hung This makes fiftyfour menwho have been hung here by the Federalcourt

THE CRIMESfor which these young men today atonedwith their lives were of a most atrociousand bloodthiraty character and theirpunishment is well merited The follow-ing

¬

is a brief statement of their casesTHE SEABRON GREEN CASE

The facta in this case are that on the17th of January last Deputy United SlatesMarshal Phillips with Mark KuykendallHenry Smith and William Keiley as posseand guards was on duty in the Creek Na-tion

¬

the only prisoner they had beingSeabron Green who had surrendered tothem for the purpose of coming to FortSmith to answer to an indictment of in-

troducing¬

and selling whisky in the IndianTerritory Phillips went into Eufaula onthe afternoon of the 17th on businessleaving the three guards and prisoner vscamp On the following morning he re-turned

¬

to flad his three companions mur-dered

¬

and the prisoner gone also someof the property belonging to the partySmith and Kuykendall were killed with anaxe as they lay asleep on a pallet near thecamp fire their heads being almost se-

vered¬

from their bodies Kellys deadbody lay in a pool of blood about twelvesteps from the other two He had beenshot and also mutilated with an axe

The murderer had piled burning faggotsfrom the camp fire on the legs of Smithand Kuykendall evidently intending toburn them up and their lower extremitiesfrom their waist down were completelyroasted Phillips buried his companionsnear where they met their horrible fateand soon rearrested Seabron He statedthat during the night some men came tothe C6mp and killed the officers and heescaped to the woods He was broughthere and placed in jail and a few daysaiterward Doctor Walker and JoshOhoola also Creek Indians were ar-rested

¬

as accessories to the murderssome ot the property taken from thecamp being found under Walkers houseWalker claiming that Ohoola brought itthere At the examination before theCommissioner however Seabron statedthat he was guilty having killed the menhimself and when placed on the witnessstand at the trial testified to the factsaying he killed them without assistancehis only excuse being that they hadabused him Walker is Seabrons uncleand Ohoola is also a relative and someare inclined to think that Seabron sacri-ficed

¬

his own life to shield them Allthree of them were tried jointly but thejury acquitted Walker and Oaoola con ¬

victing Ssabron the verdict being realierers

dered on the 13th of July last Seabronwas a mere boy net more than eighteenyears of age ignorant and half civilized

SILAS HAMPTONwas a fullblood Chickasaw about th j

same age as Seabron He was con-victed

¬on the 9 th of July last of a most

diabolical murder his victim being anold man named Abner N Lloyd who wasover sixty years of age Tne murderwas committed near Tishomingo thecapital of the Chickasaw nation on the

of g December 9 last robberythe motive Lloyd lived on the

Washita river thirtyfive miles fromwhere he was murdered and wason his way home with a led ofhay He was alone and had campedfor the night when Silas Hamptonstealthily approached the lonely camp-fire and shot him in the backAfter committing the horrible deed herobbed the body of seven or eight dollarsin money and a pocket knife A mannamed Wolf living near by heard the shotand shortly afterwards the murderercame to his house and left his gun afterwhich he went to a store threequarters

f a mile from the scene of murder andspent 3 25 in money The murder wascommitted about 8 oclock on thenight of the 9th and on the following dayabout 12 oclock the body of the murderedman was discovered by William Markhamwho chanced to pass the camp Suspicionwas at once directed to Hampton and onthe morning of the 11th he was arrestedby his uncle He asked why he was ar-rested

¬

and when told it was for killing awhite man he said Dont take me toFort Smith kill me right now On hisperson was found the pocketknife above-mentioned and a portion of his ill gottenmoney He was tracked from the placeof murder to the house of Wolfe the dis-tinguishing

mark being a patch on thebottom of one boot While the evidenceagainst him was all circumstantisl it wasso clear that the jury convicted him onthe first ballot

¬

is much greater than the adminis-tration

would hare to poll a twothirds vote towin The principal point of oppositionamong the antis seems to be that they donot like the idea of a general officerholding an office for a two years termThey also make claim that at least twocf the present generalofficers SecretaryLitchman and Treasurer Tarner arewholly incompetent The administrationdelegates asked in regard to the matterstate emphatically that the charges oi-incemptency made against them are en-

fear of each other The fact thatlengthy secret caucuses are held nightlygoes a long way to sustain this belief

General Secretary Litchman presentedhis report today It was very volumin-ous

¬

Following is a short synopsisThe number cf members reported in

good standing at the last session of thegeneral assembly was 702924 and thenumber of members in arrears 20794This made the apparent membership ofthe older as then reported 729677 Thelarge growth in the early part of ISSowill be remembered People came intothe order by the hundred thousands thata suspension of initiation forforty days was ordered afterthe forty days had expired the rush againbegan and the result was to bring to the6rder a mass of material that proved It-self

¬to be a weakness rather than a

strength for six months followius thesession of the General Assembly at Rich-mond

¬

The papers of the country have beenfilled continually with assaults on theorder and upon the general officers andeverything possible has been cone to dis-integrate

¬andDESTROY THE ORDER

Yet in spite of all this opposition thetotal number of members in good stand-ing

¬

January 1 is 425000 Add to thisnearly 50000 who are In the samerelation to the order as werethe 26750 reported as In arrearsupon the last report and we would havea membership of 535000 on July 1 18S7This would indicate an apparent decreaseof about 95000 members

Receipts for the fiscal year endingJuly 1 are shown to be 8388731 givinga balance on hand of 50568

OMPULSORY AND NOT PERMISSIVEThe General Assembly at Richmond

after adopting certain amendments to theconstitution referred the balance of thereport of the eommittee on law to-

with such other changesas had been presented to the general cs-sembly to a special committee of revis-ion

¬

It was ordered that this committeein conjunction with the general executiveboard should prepare a revision of theconstitution and submit it to a vote of thelocal assemblies of the order The resultof the deliberation of this committee onrevision was submitted to the local as-

semblies¬

as provided Under the voteunder which the committee was appointedthe assemblies were requested to voteupon the constitution proper as a firstproposition and upon the article relatingto national trade assemblies as a secondproposition Returns from the local as-semblies

showed that 2393 local assem-blies

voted yes on the first proposition and1096 voted no that 2342 localassemblies voted yes on the second pro-position
