THE TEA PARTY.


Although we western folks mostly
drink coffee, the tea party has found
it's way here and the tea market OF
the celestial empire widens in the
circle of civilization that is spreading
over our hemisphere. We are too
mercurlal to drink coffee alone, end

A Hibernian Fight.


Vicksburg, March 19.-Last night a
shooting affray occurred between Capt.
w. f. Fitzgerald, Capt. w. II. An
drews and w. L. Greene. Andrews
and Greene were killed almost instant
ly and Fitzgerald dangerously wouded.
The difficulty originated about Hiber-
nian meeting at which Andrews was
elected president. Fitzgerald claimed
to still be president of the Hibernian
society and denounced the election of
Andrews as farce. Green took ex-
ceptions to Fitzgerald's remarks, at
tempting to draw weapon. Fitzger-
aid drew first and shot Greene through
the heart. Andrews then shot Fitzger-
aid and Fitzgerald shot Andrews. An
drews was the head of the firm of An
drews & Bro, and was president of
the Howard Association after Rock
woods death last summer. w. L.
Greene was clerk of Andrews & Bro.
Fitzgerald is prominent lawyer, and
once republican state district attorney.

Washington, March 19.-The Oliver
Cameron breach of promise suit was
continued to-day, and the cross-exami-
nation of Mrs. Oliver by Gen. Butler
resumed.
A number of letters written by Mrs.
Oliver were produced, read and acknow-
ledged by witness as hers. An effort
will be made by the defense to show
that the handwriting of these letters
is identical with that of the letters pur-
porting to have been written by Sena-
tor Cameron to Mrs. Oliver.
The letters read were generally of a
threatening character, demanding
money consideration in settlement.
Among them was one stating she
would bring suit for $50, 600, hut was
willing to compromise for $4,000. To
this letter was added postscript, say
ing: 81 am going before the court next
week to swear to the truth that you are
the father of this baby, so that it will
not come into the world unprovided

A Compromise on the Political Ques.
fionS

"A compromise on the POLITICAL QucS-
tions.
Washington, March 19.-There is a
prospect to-day that compromise in
regard to the repeal of the election
laws may be effected. The leading
democrats and republicans have been
in consultation to see whether the diff
ferences cannot be adjusted. The demo-
Gratis have proposed to abandon the re-
peal of the supervisors law, if the re-
publicans will agree to concede the re-
peal of the clause of the election law
which permits marshals and deputy
marshals to make arrests at the polls
on the day of election. They will be
content with this. The republicans
have the matter under consideration,
and some favor accepting the PROPOSE
tion. A good many republicans are
opposed to yielding anything, and it is
evident that the proposed compromise
will not be satisfactory to large body
of republicans.
That the democrats in the senate do
not intend to confine their labors at
this session to passing appropriation
bills was fully evident to-day, when, in
a half hours time, about 100 bills were
introduced and referred to appropriate
committees. This looks like general
and special legislation.
The credentials of Senator Bell, of
New Hampshire, were sent to the COM
