WASHINGTON April 19.--I learn from pri-
vate sources that Packard has practically
withdrawn from the Collectorship contest, and
that unless the face of things changes entirely
his claims will not be pressed further
Mr., Ackln has just concluded an exhaus-
tive argument before the House Commerce
Committee in favor OF an appropriation to be
included In the river and harbor bill as an
amendment for the improvement of bayou
Lafourche. The committee will sustain the
proposition and the appropriation will un-
doubtedly be made.
Geo. Sheridan expects to be appointed
recorder of conveyances for the District of
Columbia, in place of Simon Wolf Can't say
whether this will deprive Louisiana of
Georges citizenship or not, but it will prob
ably relieve her from his craftsmanship

P0stoffice Deficiency Bill-southern Mall
Facilities

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Postmaster Cen
eral Key is expected to return to Washington
on Monday morning next. Shortly after his
return he will send deficiency bill to Con-
gress, for the payment of salaries OF post
masters for the present fiscal year. This de-
ficiency bill will also include number of
other items.
Postmaster General Key and his officials
have awakened to the truth that in the mat
ter of mail service the South and Southwest
are poorly treated, compared with the North
and East. They intend doing all they can for
the increase OF mail facilities in those sec
tions OF the country, and will urge upon Con-
gress an increased appropriation for their
mail facilities.

IAWRENCEBURG, April 19.-At Coal Greek,
Ind, q mining town ia Fountain county, a
militia company, composed of miners, who
participated in the strike OF year ago, had
been drilling during the day, and at night,
while some OF them were in saloon, with
their arms stacked in the corner, one Of them
became engaged in al alteration with a
negro, who had been sent In for more liquor
by a party OF negroes, who were having q
spree The quarrel grew out OF old ill-feelng
between the white and black men, and resulted
In the killing of the negro. The whites then
moved through the streets, shooting at ne
groes on sight, and killed two more, and NOR
tally wounded another.
The Governor, in answer TO O. call for help,
declined to order any until the sheriff should
signify his inability to preserve order.
Phil Cuzens was shot twice through the
head from behind, and received two bayonet
thursts. one from behind and ono In the breast.
Thomas Cooper was shot in the back the ball
passing upward and out at tho tip of the
breast-bone. John Mills was shot through
the neck from behind breaking his spine. All
the murdered men were killed on the princi-
pal streets OF the town, within 200 yards Of
each other. Cozens' blood showed that be
walked several steps after being first shot.
Cooper was dragged several yards after be
was shot, and left in q gully. Mills dropped
dead when shot.
AS soon rs the firing commenced the negroes
sought shelter, they having no means of de
fence. The wounded man named Peter Artis
is doing we'll but the greater part Of the flesh
being torn from his hand, leaving the sinews
bare, makes 1t very painful wound Buffalo
Bill, white man, who WAS walking with q
heavy club, had his shoulder dislocated. The
verdict of the coroner's inquest has not yet
been rendered. Gov. Williams has ordered an
investigation Of the trouble. The miners are
now armed toprotect themselves, and another

While France, Though Leaning to Eng

Understanding Gradually Increasing

LONDON, April ia correspondent at St.
Petersburg telegraphs that he has had con
yersation with Gen. Ignatieff, in which the
! General, in reply to question put to him,
summed up the political situation as follows
england continues to show her teeth; Aus
tria almost approves Englands wishes, but
Will act only by diplomacy, and refuses to de-
clare war openly.
With regard to the other powers Italy's in
tendency towards England, but the Marshal
President and the chiefs OF the army must
want to remain quiet and to keep on good
terms with Russia.
To sum up the chances of an understand
ing are increasing gradually but slowly. We
must wait some time for solution. The
congress will perhaps be replaced by albitra-
ton with England, but nothing positive can
be said on that point yet.

LONDON, April 19.-The correspondent of
the Times at St Petersburg says: The situa-
tion Is decidedly pacific. In official circles it
is believed that Gefmany's mediation will
very likely be successful and the congress will
soon assemble. 1t will probably be preceded
by conference Of ambassadors ut Berlin.
which is expected to decide that invitations to
the congress shall be issued to consider the
modlhcati0ns necessary In the treaties OF 1856
and 1871. 1t is confidently Anticipated some
such formula will be accepted in both London
and st. Petersburg. A meeting of the con
Igress would dissipate nany difficulties.
