FIRED BY GRESHAM.
DR. ST. CLAIR OF THE STATE DE-
PARTMENT REMOVED.
He I* Charged With Holding Hark Cer-
tain Papers anil Letters Relating to the
Consul of Bremen—He Has lteen In
. Offloe Many Years.
Washington, March 21?.—The re-
moval ot Dr. St. Clair of the state de-
partment by Secretary Gresham has
been the sensation of the day. St. Clair
has beeu in the department for many
years, and the rule there is not to re-
-auove any one. Tiie charge against
^ttirn is that iie held back as private cor-
j respondents certain papers or letters re-
lating to the consul of Bremen, against
whom there were some charges during
the Harrison administration. It was
given out several days ago that Secretary
Gresham Had expressed dissatisfaction
with the way matters had been con*
ducted in the state department and his
intention to clean up things there gen-
erally.
It is believed that the fall of St.
Clair is but the beginning of a general
sweep to be raadll in that department.
St. Clair had begun to be looked upon
as' almost sacred, and his tumble as-
1 tonishes all the old office holders.
Numiiiiitioim,
Washington, March 29.—The presi-
dent sent to the senate the nomination
of George G. Dillard of Mississippi u
be consul general of the United State;
at Guayaquil. Ecuador.
George G. Dillard is a resident ol
Macon, Miss., and a native Mississip-
pi. He is a lawyer and served in tin
Confederate army until the close of the
war. Mr. Dillard succeeds Wiiliam R.
Sarsby, who was nominated from Miss-
issippi by Harrison.
Not Barred by Cleveland.
Washington, March 29.—Presidenl
Cleveland is on record with an expres-
sion of opinion regarding the appoint-
^nent of Texans to positions in Mexico.
Jgt has been the general sentiment in the
department of state that no Texar,
should be given a place of trust in the
neighboring republic because of the al-
leged hostility existing between the twr.
people. This sentiment is supposed tt
have had much to do with the defeat ol
iflepresentative Kilgore in his candidacv
for the ministry to Mexico. It is an old
gag that has been in prime working
order ever since the war. So far as the
higher diplomatic positions are con-
cerned it still obtains, but the president
does not cane to apply it to those whe
wish places that are largely commer-
cial.
Consular applicants and the like will
not have the fact hurled in tlu-ir teeth
that they were born in Texas or have
lived there for a number of years. In
fact, Mr. Cleveland has said that a rep-
resentative of Texas is better fitted by
his residence to hold a commercial posi-
tion on the frontier than a man from
Maine or Indiana. Consequently the
hopes of snch Texans as are here in pur
suit of Mexican consulates have risen.
Tne two more prominent are W.lliam
P. Gaines of Austin who wants, to be
consul general at the City of Mexico
and James-P. Hickman of San Antonio,
who wishes the same office. Botli o:
them are muen cheered by the presi-
dent’s recent expression of opinion,
and eacli is confident that lie will get
the place or something < quuliy as good.

Austin, March 29.—In the house Mr.
Breeding, on his road bili, resumed his
argument and exposed the utter waste
of taxes under the preseut system. The
15 cents tax is expended on dirt roads
which are washed away every year.
Millions of dollars are raised by taxes
and have been for generations, and
there is nothing to show for the expen-
diture.

quiring printed on ballots in any elec-
tion to decide whether bonds shall issue
words denoting clearly the question of
issuing bonds. Adopted.

tional amendment to authorize nine
members of a jury to render a verdict
in a criminal case.

suffrage was taken up. The proposi-
tion is to disfranchise persons convicted
of theft and to require payment of poll

RATTLE AT ANTLERS.
LOCKE’S RESIDENCE RIDDLED WITH
BULLETS BY THE MILITIA.
nair orutiKen infuriated Indians, armed
to the teeth with the smeli of blood in
their nostrils. Minutes seemed hours
and every heart went out to Locke’s
wife and little children, who were
cooped up in their home, which was
being riddled with Winchester balls,
la Locke’s h mse three men were
found wounded. Mali Hill was shot'
through the shoulder, wound painful,
but not necessarily dangerous. John
Worcester and Solomon Homer, shot in
head, serious wounds. Of the militia
Solomon Battisto waB shot through the
arm and in the side, mortally wounded.
Three others had flesh wounds. Locke’s
little daughter had her hair burned as
by a bullet, as she was going up stairs
with her mother’s baby in her arms, A
ball passed through Locke’s hat and bin
son’s arm was grazed. It is said that
his children were shut as they endeav-
ored to go trom the residence to a cabin
in the yard,
After looking over the place it seems
almost a miracle that a member of hi#
family came out alive, and yet non#
were hurt. Warrants were issued at'
once for a large number of the militia,
and Gibbons, Kirkpatrick and Judge;
Durant went to the militia camp and
arrested G. W. Duke and 13 others and
| brought them here. Many of the rnili-
' tinmen refused to participate in the at-
tack, and they said they did not under-
stand it to be their duty to war on
women and children.
Great uneasiness prevails at Antlers.
Fears are entertained that the town will
be burned. A strong posse of deputy
marshals went from Here to Antlers to
keep the peace, lr. is expected that
Locke’s entire force will break camp
and return to Antlers. If so, they may
attack the militia. This opinion is
strongly entertained by many. Should
they do so it will more seriously com-
plicate matters.
Their attack on Locke’s house is a
vindication of his suspicion that they in-
tended to kill him from the start. The
savage blood of the Indian is more
thoroughly aroused than ever before
and years will not see the end of the
bloody feud. All say it is tho end
of the petty government and allot-
ment must fellow.
Fought ll Out.
Fort Wayne, Ind., March 29,-Foi
some time Fred Bollman and Fred Bus-
sey, 21 and 24 years old, respectively,
have not been on speaking terms. Both
voting men, who are highly connected,
finally decided to settle their difficulties
in the prize ring. A ring was accord-
ingly pitched in a barn and the young
men went at it in professional style. In
tne seventh round Bollman landed a
lefthander under Bossey's jaw and
knocked him out. The fii:ht was wit.

Paris Tex., March 29.—The Choctaw
feud has resulted m blood. A sharp
and most desperate encounter took
place at Antlers at 2:30 yesterday even-
ing and for 80 minutes a storm of leaden
hail fell about the town.
At that hour 78 militiamen suddenly
debauched from the woods into and
charged down upon the residence of
Dick Locke, the leader of the national
party and opened fire upon it.
Locke saw them coming and barely
got into his house when the fusilade
upon it began. Locke, with five men,
returned the fire from the upper story.
Fully 1500 shots were fired and every
window was shot out and the walls
perforated like a sieve. Stray bullets
flew far and wide and terror and con-
sternation prevailed throughout the lit-
tle town.
Everybody was uneasy. No one
knew who was safe, with four score
Only n Mistake.
Moijerly, Mo., March 29.—The sup-
posed shortage of County Treasurer
Matlock Turns out to be a bail system of
bookkeeping. The expert employed by
the county court to examine the books
lias already discovered where the treas-
urer charged himself with the sum of
$4600 twice. This, with some other
similar mistakes, also discovered, makes
up the full amount he was supposed to
be short—$5l'(1(). The people are now
demanding that he withdraw his resig-
nation, already in the hands of the gov-
ernor, and say they will back him with
a millioti-dollar bond if necessary. His
preseut bond is $95,000.
A M ill Iona lr« Killed.
New York, March 29.—A special
from Upper Marlborough, Md., says:
“Southern Marylaud is again wildly ex-
cited by the murder and robbery on Sat-
urday of Francis M. Bowie, a million-
aire in lower Prince George county. Ho
was shot while en route home on horse-
back late in the afternoon. John Wesley
Johnson, colored, was arrested on sus-
picion, He mude a desperate effort t >
escape. Johnson will say nothing, but
his clothing is spattered with blood.
Bowie was closely related to ex-Gov,
and General BoWie. Detectives from
Baltimore have tieen engaged to ruu
down the murderer.”
