Fiendish Assault, Murder and Lynching^
Knoxville, Tenn., Deo. 7.—News reached
here from Jellico of a criminal assault upon
and murder of a young woman named Mil-
dred Bryant by an unknown negro tramp and
the subsequent lynching of the miscreant.
Miss Bryant started from home, six miles
above Jellico, to visit hor uncle in Jellico.
Her body was found in a culvert with her
head crushed and hor throat cut.
An old lady who saw the negro following
the young lady, described him. He was
shortly afterward arrested and blood spots
were found on his trousers. He denied being
the murderer, but said ho knew the one who
did it.
A mob of fifty men took the negro from tha
sheriff, and soon his dead body was riddled
with bullets and dangling at tho end of a rope
from a convenient tree.
Mist Bryant was a handsome and molt esti-
mable young lady,

Rock Island Telegraphers.
Chicago, III., Dec. 7.—The management of
the Rock Island has declined to treat with a
committee that has beon for a week trying to
induce the company to adopt a new schedule of
rules and wages for employes in the telegraph
department of that Bystem. The comrnittea
was from tho Order of Railroad Tele-
graphers and claimed to represent a majority
of the Rock Island operators. Officials of the
company have discovered within the last few
days that the claim was not well founded.
General Manager St. John had a conference
with the committee this afternoon and posi-
tively refused to consider its do mauds.

FOR THE WHOLE STATE,
Lampasas Dispatch.
Poople seem to take a dollght in abusing The
Galveston-Dallas News, yet when they want
all the news, irrespective of class and creed, tlioy
take this much abused paper and will have no
other. You will not And another in the state
that is untainted with localism or sectionalism.
When we say The News is a Texas newspaper,
of and for the whole state, we express tho whole
thing in a nutshell.
Washington, Doc. 7.—[Special.]—Tele-
grams from ail over tho country aro pouring
in hero in regard to tho status of the anti-op-
tion bill. A great many of them come from
Texas, and it seems there is an ignoranco in
regard to the matter throughout the country.
The anti-option bill passed tho house and
went to tho senate last session. When it
roached thoro it was amended by a vote of the
senate, but tho bill did not come to a vote.
A substitute was prepared and is now in the
senate. This substitute will be voted on be-
fore the bill itself. The amondmentB have
considerably relieved the bill of the supposed
harshness, but there is an opposition to it
most vicious in its nature. I am informed by
credible authority that if the amend ments
and substitute are lost in the senate, every
line of parliamentary tactics will be resorted
to to defeat it.
If the bill, or even the substitute, should go
through then it must go back to tho house.
Here the opposition will meet it again with all
the parlia montary resources of which it is
capable. It can not be brought up except in
regular order, or by unanimous cousont, or on
suspension day. X'here will be two days of
this kind this session undor the rules which
provide for a suspension day on ono Monday
in each month.
The prospccts are now that tho bill will
never pass. Tho fact that cotton has g one up
greatly within the last month will have a
groat effect on the southern members. Con-
gressman Boatner of Louisiana, and one of the
most influential men in the house, said to-day
in regard to the bill:
"In my part of tho south there has been an
extraordinary chango of opinion regarding the
anti-option bill. I was ono of the six mem-
bers from the entiro south who voted ugainst
the measure in the house. It was thought that
would be defeated for ro-oloctiou on this
vote, but if ono should go over my district
witli a flno-toothed comb 1 do not believe they
could find more than 100 persons who now fa-
vor the bill. Mr. Hatch has accomplished
more harm to the cotton interests in the south
by tho introduction of that bill than he can
over repair. If the measure should become a
law I believe that the price of cotton would
fall off 1 cent a pound."
Some of tho telegrams from Texas state the
passago of tho bill would bo most disastrous
to two-thirds of the cotton raisers in that
state.
A Cations Resolution.
Washington, Dec. 7.—[Special.]—The cau
cus of democratio senators hold this afternoon
was called ostensibly to consider matters of
routine relating to the business of the session,
but it developed into a discussion of various
and important questions.
Upon tho conclusion of tho routine business
more than half tho senators loft and a serious
business conference ensued between tho active
democratic senators. Among those remain-
ing were Senators Gorman, Hill, Carlisle,
Morgan, Voorhees and Gray.
The question of reorganization of the senate
when the special session stiall be .convened
coincidont with the inauguration of President
Cleveland was seriously considered. Without
exception the democratic leaders determined
that they would not attempt any reorganiza-
tion in the name of the democratic party un-
less supported by a sufficient number of
straight democrats to enforco party policy;
in other words, that the democrats
WILL NOT JoiN IN ANY COALITION
fusion reorganization; that the demo
oratic party will not assume the responsibility
of controlling the senate and of directing its
legislative course unless sustained by a posi-
tive democratio majority. That means that
every senator who essays to take any part in
demooratio organization must enter the cau-
cus and obligate himBolf to abide by and bus
tain the policy decreed by the leaders.
Developments subsequent to tho election
have rendered doubtful tho olection of Bona
tors in several western statos. In Kansas tha
ante-election agroemont between tho demo'
crats and populists was that in tho event of
carrying tho legislature a domocrat should bo
elected Benator. When the returns indicated
an anti-republican legislature the populists be-
gan to seek pretexts to shirk their compact
and to claim the sonatorship for
soma one of their party, but tlioy found them
selves without moans to make tho fight the re-
publicans had inaugurated. They appealed
to the national demooratio managers for aid,
The domocrata have supplied monoytooon
teBt every movo of the republicans to got pos-
session of the legislature, but tho demo-
oratio managers insist that in tha event of
defeating tho republican Bchemes
a straight democrat
must be eloctod to the sonata.
In Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana and
Washington the national democratic managors
have commissioned some of their most trusted
loaders to care for democratic interests, and
in every instance their instructions aro to see
that democrats are elected to the senate.
Senator Poller of Kansas had a privato con-
ference with Senator Gorman to-day with re
¥ard to tho situation in that stato,
'offer assorts his entire willingness
to co - operate with tho demo-
crats in taking control of the sonata
from tho republicans, but, as stated, the dem-
ocrats will not assume control unless they
command at least forty-five votes of senators
who enter their caucus and pledge thomuolvus
to entertain tho democratio policy.
proceed from the fact that serious work has
been dono to stir up an opposition to Mr.
Crisp, and this may be the reason why it is
necessary to select a naino to concentrate tho
anti-Crisp strength upon.
Clerks' Joint Statement.
Washington, Dec. 7.—A statement prepared
by Messrs. Curtis and Cloves, clerks respect-
ively of the house and senate committees on
appropriations, show estimates for tho regu-
lar annual and permanent appropriations
for the fiscal year 1893-94 aggrogato
$505,861,335, an increase over estimates for
the current fiscal year of $15,929,241, and over
appropriations (exclusivo of deficiencies and
miscellaneous) of $17,375,200. Tho appropria-
tions, however, include $21,154,218 for rivers
and harbors, for which no estimates were
made.
The total estimated revenues for 1894 ag-
gregate $490,121,365 including $85,127.86$, the
estimated postal revenues. This leaves an
excess of estimated appropriations (exclusivo
of deficiencies and miscellaneous) over-
estimated revenues of $15,739,969 and by
deducting from estimated expenditure $48,-
600,1X10 for the Binkiug fund, the excess iu esti-
mated receipts over estimated expenditures is
figured at $32,860,030. Appropriations
never equal estimates; but on tho other
hand no deficiency or miscellaneous
appropriations are included in the est imates.
The estimates do not includo anything for
rivers and harbors, on account of which the
chief of engineers says $58,064,950 can be
profitably expended.
Want to Know How We Stand.
Washington, Doc. 7.—Representative Wil-
son of West Virginia bffcred to-day for refer-
ence to the committed on rules tho following:
Resolved, that the committee on ways and
means bo authorized and instructed to inquire

treasury and future probable revenues undor

committee is particularly instructed to

quired for payment of pensions prior to June
30, 1894; the amount of all unexpended
appropriations and amount required to com-
plete works now authorized by law; items
of sums to tha credit of disbursing
officers; items of probable revenue between
this date and June 30, 1894, and dates at which
tho same will bo collected by tho treasury, to-
gether with all other facts which may be use-
iul to show the present and future condition
of the treasury.
Duty on Sugar and No Bounty.
Washington, Dec. 7.—A bill having for its
object the establishment of a uniform revenue
customs duty on sugar and tho abolishment
of tho payment of sugar bounties
was introduced iu the house to-day
by Mr. Barter of Ohio. It provides
in detail that on and after
February 1,1893, a uniform tariff tax or c-us
toms duty of one-haif cant per pound shall be
leviod on all grades of sugar imported into
the United States, and that payments of all
bounties to producers of sugar in the Unitod
States shall oeaso on the first of February next.

senate to day Mr. Vest of Missouri maclo-a
very earnest speech in favor of the establish-
ment of courts in the Indian territory which
Bhall have exclusive jurisdiction of the terri-

the trade of the territory their way.

FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS,
Senate.
Washington, Dec. 7.—The rather unusual
circumstance of having a Jewish rabbi offer
up prayer in tho senate chamber was wit-
nessed to-day. Dr. Joseph Silverman of Tem-
ple Emanuel of New York was introducod to
the vice-president by Chaplain Butler, and in-
voked the divino blessing—in the English
tongue, howevor: not in Hebrew.
The first item of business was tho presenta-
tion of tho treasury report, which was followed
by a message from tho president transmitting,
in compliance with a resolution passod in
April last, information on the subject of tho
agreement between the United States and
Groat Britain as to the naval forces to bo
maintained by oithor power on the great
lakes.
These documents having boen appropriately
disposed of, Mr. Hill introducod a bill to re-
peal tho act of July 14, 1890, directing tho
purchase of silver bullion, and the issue of
treasury notes thereon, and it was referrod to
tho committeo on finance.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr.
Vest as to alleged partisan action by omployes
of the census bureau, was referrod to tho com-
mittee on contingent expenses.
A resolution offerod last session by Mr.
Peffor as to tho effect of the interstato com-
merce law on railroad charges was roforred
to the committeo on interstate commorco.
The joint resolution introduced yesterday
by .Mr. Vest for the appointinont of a com-
mission to make an agreoment with tho five
civilized tribes of Indians for their
taking lands in severalty, etc., was
taken up and made the text of an impas-
sioned spoech by the Missouri senator. He said
tho great states of Kansas. Missouri* Arkansas
and Texas were directly and immediately
concerned in changing the existing statutes of
the Indian territory. The Indian torritory
to-day was a menaco to civilization. 1 he
form of administering justice > there was
a blot and a stain on the judicial sys-
tem of the United Statos. t rune
was rampant and corruption rife, lho
Indian territory to-day was a depot for crime.
Criminals from adjacont statos took retugo
thoro, and from there mado raids. 1 lie recont
raid upon Coffeyville, in Kausas, had been
made from the Indian territory. Monstrous
as was the proposition, it was a fact that tho
Dalton brothers, who woro engaged
in that raid, had been deputy marshals in
the Indian territory. They had gone through
that territory wearing the badges of marshals
and under tho insignia of tho federal aut hority
making arrests. He assorted from personal
knowledge that from the lawless elates in the
Indian territory were takon a large number
of United States officers who were ompioyed
as deputy marshals. No such monstrosity hau
ever beon known in judicial annals as tho sys-
tem of organized pi under practicod in the
United States courts there, the whole objoct
of officials being to obtain
spoko of the hangman at Fort Smith,
Ark., counting up his victims at ninety-
seven, and speaking of making the num-
ber a round hundred. Such an executioner, he
said if he had lived in barbarous ages would
have been entitled to knighthood. "And why
should not this man," he asked derisively, bo
one of the capitalists and belong to the fa-
vored classes of this great country i _
Senators Piatt, Berry and Butler intimated
their intention to debate the joint resolution,
and it went over without action.
A resolution having been received from the
house as to the death of Representative Mc-
Donald of New Jersey, Mr. McVhorson offered
the customary resolutions of regrot. lho
resolutions were agreed to, and as a further
mark of respect tho scuato adjourned.
House.
Washington, Dec. 7.—The inborost which
surrounds the meeting of tho now session of
congress has worn off, and the house to-day
got down to dull routine business.
A bill granting a portion of tho Fort Hayes
military reservation to tho stato of Kansas
was called up at the meeting to-day, but the
houso refused to order the previous question
upon it. ...
Then a bill, in effect repealing tho law
which provides for reduction in tho force of
engineer ofiieors of the navy to 170, was
brought to tho attention of tho house. Should
the bill become a law,.tho number of officers
would be fixed at 191. Although the treasury
received a majority voto, a motion to re-con-
sider was interpolated and no final action
taken. „ , .
The remainder of tho day was consumed in
consideration of tho Long senate bill relatno
to public printing and binding. '1 he object
of the measure is to eeonomize in the matter
of printing of public documents and to facili-
tate their distribution.
During an interruption in tho debate on the
bill Mr. O'Neal of Pennsylvania, in order to
illustrate tho spirit of the times and tho sys-
tem to which the art of printing
had been brought, heid aloft
a copy of to-day's Philadelphia Ledger
which ho said had beon placed upon his dosk
at noon, although the building in which that
newspaper was published, and the plant, had
been damaged to a very groat extent by hro
last evening. , Ml . ,
Pending final action on the bill, tho house
adjourned.

Bismarck's Stock in Milwaukee.
Mii.waukek, Wis., Dec. 7.—Henry Villard,
while in this city this week, made tho inter-
esting statement that Prince Bismarck is in-
terested in Milwaukee street railway proper
ties to tho extent of '200,000 marks or $50,000.
It Beoms Mr. Villard met Bismarck when be
was la Berlin and tho investment followed.
Brussels, Deo. 7.—An important soction of
tho international monetary conference holds
do Rothschild's withdrawal of his plan for so-
lution of tho silver quostion docs not debar
further discussion of his proposals by the con-
ference, the committee to which tho plan was
referred having presented it for consideration
of the conference, thus taking it out of tho
hands ol do Rothschild.
To-day M. Saint Eliott, the Belgian dele-
gate who supports tho Rothschild plan with
the Moritz Levy amendment substi-
tuting silver for Bmall gold coins,
will hold a conference with Sir C. Fremantle,
ono of the British delegates and doputy master
of the British mint, and SonorToea.a Spanish
dolegate, on the question of putting an amend-
ment of Rothschild's plan to a voto of tho con-
ference. Both Senor Toca and M. Saint
EUette hold that a failure of tho conferonco
can yet be averted by a majority of the dele-
gates recommending either the Levy project
or the amended Rothschild plan.
The scheme proposed by C. F. Teitjen, the
Danish delogate, is treated with indifference.
It may be dropped without discussion by tho
conference.
The proposal advanced by Sir C. lloulds-
worth, though applauded by pronouueed bi-
metallist delegates yesterday, is not considered
by his colleagues worth wasting time over in
discussion. His plan will probably bo re-
ferred to a committeo to-morrow and not
heard of again.
The uncertain attitude of the French dele-
gates is influencing those representatives
whose countries belong to the Latin union. It
is tho opinion of many delegates that tho
French government does not desire the con-
ference to decide anything.
An interview has beon published hero with
M. Leon Say, the well known French finan-
cier. M. Say declared he thought tho atti-
tude both of tho English and American dole-
gates was a deplorable one, especially tho
Americans, who appeared to be without any
definite proposals. M. Say could not under-
stand why the British, as practical business
men, wanted the assistance of Franco in a
matter which was their own concern.
In regard to the Rothschild proposals M. Say
declared ho thought thoy solved nothing, and
ho added that he thought the deliberations of
the conference would end in nothing.
M. Say's remarks define tho action of tho
French delegates, who criticise everything
that is said in the conference or in commitee,
but suggests nothing in exchange.
Opinions among the delegates have become
sharper and more clearly defined, partisans of
tbo single and double standards respectively
proving moro irreconcilable as the discussion
develops.
Mr. Henry W. Cannon, one of tho American
delegates Bnd prosident-of the Chase national
bank, has asked the committee to discuss tho
proposals of the American delegates as stated
to tho plenary conference.
M. Montefioro Levy, preaidont of the con
feronce, opposes tho committee's proceeding
to discuss the Atnorican proposals. Ho bases
his objections on the ground that the commit-
teo was appointed to discuss a Bpocial question
in referenco from tho conference and that tho
American proposals aro related to fundamen-
tal principles that, would better como within
the compotenco of the conference.

POLII'ICAL TOPICS.
A Sharp lteproof.
Kansas City, Mo., Doc. 7.—The Star's To-
peka, Kan., special says: A lettor from Hon.
C. G. Foster, United States district, judge, to
Governor Humphrey was made public to-day,
which will create a lively sensation through-
out the stato. It reads: "Hon. L. U. Hum-
phrey—Dear Governor: I have been stand-
ing up for Kansas to tho best of my ability;
but when it comos to stealing members of
tho legislature and presidential electors from
a political opponent, you must eicuso me if I
sit down. Sincerely yours, C. G. Foster.''
Judge Foster has boen a life-long republi-
can, but for sovoral years has not ^ been in
close touch with the state leaders. Two years
ago ho took his stand with the resubmission
republicans, and later got into a newspaper
fight with Major J. K. Hudson, editor of the
Capitol, over tho prohibition question.
London Vapors 011 the Message.
London, Dec. 7.—[Special.]—Tho Times
says: Mr. Harrison ascribes the drain of
gold from America to political movements in
Europe. By many other republican leaders,
however, nothing of the kind is required
to account for a phenomenon which overybody
acquaintod with tho first principles of currency
legislation could predict with absolute confi-
dence whon America first undertook to con-
trol the market. Mr. Harrison appears to bo
entirely unconscious that the monetary con-
ference is a failure. He talks about
DKI.ay IN COMI'EI.T.INO
other nations to oliange their coinage. What
a hopeless tanglo of misrepresentations is thus
rovealod. Surely the existence of millions of
dollars in tho vaults of the United Statos
treasury which nothing luduces tho world to
omploy ought to restrain evon the retiring
president from talking this egregious non-
""Tiri'erica may reverse her policy, but tho
world will long suffer from its effects. Re-
version to a sound policy may disturb the ml-
ver inarkot, as an inevitable result of blun-
dering legislation, but it will pavo the way to
a healthier state of affairs.
The Standard says: Not every one is privi-
leged to vont his sploen in tho form of a stato
paper. Mr. Harrison's message is not meant
to be gracious. Neither is it impressive liko
tho epistlo of tho rojoctod lover, sincerely
trusting that she will not rue bitterly
tho preforenee accorded to ono unworthy of
her protection. Tho warning to Canada is
polite compared with the throats
once hurled at hor, but has a
flavor nevertheless. Thoro is an unwelcome
ambiguity in the referenco to the Bohring soa
matter, but it matters little what ho Bays.
ICHAHOD
is written in every sentoncc.
Tho Chronicle says: Mr. Harrison's tariff
remarks remind one of the schoolboy maxim.
"If you tell a lie, tell a big 'un, and stick to
it."
It may now be regarded as certain that
America will mako the Nicaragua canal and
thus prevent Franco from reviving tho I'ana-
ma scheme. ,,
Tho Daily Telegraph, in commenting on tho
message, refers to tho program of tho
British agricultural conference. In connec-
tion with the president's remarks on agricult-
ure, it says: Nothing could bo more mislead-
ing thau Mr. Harrison's remarks. The only
thing that saves America from a
VAST SOCIAL CRISIS
is tho cheapness of her outlying lands and hor
Buperb system of railroads. With regard to
tho troubles of English tenant farmers, how-
ever, nothing could bo a wilder or worse stop
than retaliation on tho McKinleyitos by ex-
cluding American corn and beof.
Inauguration Without a Dance.
Topbka, Kan., Dec. 7.—[Special. ]—There
will bo 110 inaugural ball when Governor-elect
Lowelling is inducted into office. That quoB-
tion was settled when a meeting of populists
declared that tho dance was immoral,degrading
and a disgraceful pleasure, indorsed by the
society classes, of which tho people's party
wns in 110 sense a part. I )no of the resolutions
declares: "That the plain people of Kansas,
who elected the new state officers,
can not but look with anxiety upon
anv indication that their officers
liavo submitted to tho allurements of fashion-
able society, which represents all the enemies
of tho common j>eople, and, based upon
wealth gamed by monopoly, constitutes a
dangerous lobby about the officials it may se-
cure in its meshes. _

Yale Students' Biot.
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 7.—Judgo Pickett
caused a sensation in the city police court this
morning by ruling that bocause of evidence
presented beforo liirn the disturbance by Valo
froshinon Saturday night must bo termed a
not. Five students under arrest appeared
and evidence was taken in relation to charges
against them. Tho court recommcndod that
all cases bo nollo prossed against the students
as individuals because of the yumistak ihUi
resouiolaij - of the affair to 4 riot. 1 ,g'i

appears available at present for ascertaining
the complicity of the members of tho fresh-
men class is by prosecution.
