named Carter, that Col. George, Senator
eject from Mississippi, and who was Ch air
man OF the Democratic State Committee, had
issued instructions to the County Com

Republican leaders as possible In
o:tler to demoralize the party. II the negro
behaves himself and does not meddle with
politics, he will be we'll treated in and out OF
the courts, but if he is a Republican, it will

fair and generous Democrats, but they ara
overruled by the more bitter class, who
think it a righteous deed to kill q Repub-

Shreveport was fair and impartial, but 1t was
alleged by the press to be incendiary. He
had Intended to stump the country, but

the supremacy of the Democratic party,

learned Of. Respectable planters discounte-

were obliged to barricadc themselves against

alleged that Representative King was elected
by the aid Of the shotgun. and that Senator

PlMs, April 24.-The punishment Of Go
dsle, Bonapartist, by President Gambetta,
Of The Chamber Of Deputies, consists Of his
exclusion from the Chamber for fifteen sit

months, and the placarding at his (Gode1le's)
expense the Of extractfr from the official report
Of the proceedings In the Chamber through
out the Eighth ACCOMPLISHMENT of Paris, for
which he sits.
This is the first time the penalty has been
Imposed, the severest punishment for such
IN otense up to last July being exclusion

months half pay. The affair is everywhere
talked Of, and the people are puzzled as to
what Induced Gambetta to resort to such
seTer1ty. Godelle's words were: II persist

demands it, and because injurious suspicious

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Iftbtne.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April Ex-senator
Davis, of West Virginia, Chairman Of the
Senate Committee on Appropriations, has
made q personal inquiry to-day Of the Chair
man of the several subcommittee Of thu
House Committee on Appropriations having
in charge the respective appropriation bills
with a view to learning the probable time
when they would reach the Senate, and
when Congress would bo able to adjourn.
He found the condition Of affairs and the
outlook as follows: The Legislative bill,
which is in charge Of Chairman Atkins. Is ex
pected to be ready to be reported within q
week. Mr.. Blount, who is in charge of the
Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, expresses
the opinion that it will be ready for the
House in about two weeks. Mr. Blackburn,
Chairman Of the Sub Committee having the
Post-OfIice bill under consideration, thinks
it will be completed by
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
The District Of Columbia bill Is now ready
for consideration By the House. The Cen
eral Deficiency bill will be ready for the
House by the time the others are out OF the
way. OF the other appropriation bills the
Army bill is ready for the Presidents sig
nature. The Navy bill has passed the House,
and is being considered By subcommittee
of the Senate Committee on Appropriations,
with prospect that it will be reported to the
Senate on Tuesday. The Indian bill will be
reported to the full Committee on Monday,
and it is probable that 1t will also
REACH THE SENATE MONDAY.
The Milita1y-Academy bill is in Conference
Committee awaiting the result of the Whit
taker inquiry at West Point The Con-
sular and Diplomatic bill and the Fortifi-
cations bills are also in Conference
Committee, the latter having but
one minor amendment about which there is
any question at present. The Pensions Bill
is already law. "You will notice. said

THE TARIFF.
NO AGREEMENT.

Special Dtspateh to The Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. G., April 24-The Sub.
Committee on Tariff has had an al1-day
meeting, and arrived at no conclusion. The
appointment of Mr.. Frye as one Of its mem
bers has been the addition Of another dis
turbing element. He wants nothing re-
duced. He and Garfield think only Of the
manufacturers, as they we're plainly told to-
day, and not at all of the forty million con
sumers. The discussion this afternoon wan
dered over almost the entire tariff. Salt was
talked about, but no agreement reached, the
difficulty in the case of this article being
that it yields a revenue of S75O,000 There
seemed to be no objection to putting type
on the free list, but this led to discussion Of
the duty on lead. The duty on steel rails, it
was agreed,
OUGHT TO BE REDUCED,
and 1t is probable the tariff will be lowered
about one centa pound. The duty now Is
S23 per ton; the proposed reduction would
make it Se2.40. Woolens, cottons, iron i'm
plements, and variety Of other things enter
ing into common consumption were dis
cussed, and, although there was no agree
ment, the real revenue reformers on the
Committee are in better heart tonight than
they have been for some time. The
difficulties in the way Of these gentle
men are certainly very great, There
are four members of the Ways and Means
Committee who are earnestly in favor Of
revenue reform. They recognize, too, the
of passing bill making
wholesale revision OF the tariff laws, and
favor the plan to attack the protected inter-
ests in detail. Here, however, they meet
with opposition from the majority Of the
Ways and Means, who argue that it is unfair
10 single out any one industry for attack,
their purpose being to defeat any tariff legis-
lation. Still, notwithstanding the difficulties,
the opinion Of revenue reformers IS that some
N easure will come out of the Committee this
session.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.

opeL@1t 3kJPAtIH 10 1HE tf4C7VO 4ffo4nE.
QUrSCY, ILL.,, April IA mysterious mur-
der has been developed in the Town OF
Ursa by the finding Of the remains Of an un-
known man near stable on the property of
Harrison Washburne. The scene Of the dis
coyery Is in the extreme south part Of Ursa
Township, about nine miles from this city.
4 Farmland engaged in hauling refuse from
the barn yesterday discovered, on loading,
the bones of q human arm. He at once re-
turned to the barn and made search with
spade and pitchfork. and soon came upon
the entire skeleton Of Q man still partly
clothed. The man had been shot in tie
back ot the head, the bullet coming
ont Of his forehead just over the
right eye. In endeavoring to learn the name
Of tile deceased, however, the Coroner's jury
failed to elicit the slightest information.
From all OF the circumstances, it is believed
the murdered man was stranger, and
that he was killed on the . Highway
and his body buried at the barn
by his rlurderers. The clothing had
nearly all dccayed, but enough remained to
show that he wore brown jean pants, and
near him was picked up large round
handled knife. The affair has created vast
amount Of speculation and conjecture in
Ursa, the locality being a quiet and peace
able neighborhood, and the city being en-
tirely unable to arrive st satisfactory so1u-
ton of the mystery.

RETALIATION.
Special Dtspatch to The CHICAGO Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 24.-The news
OF the refusal Of the British Government to
pay the Fortune Buy damages cxcites great
deal Of indignation in Congressional circles,
anu comes at very inopportune moment for
the reciprocity treaty which the Committee
on Foreign Affairs was about to propose.
Instead of pressing for such treaty, the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs will
probably instruct their Chairman Monday to
move resolution calling upon the Secretary
OF State for all the correspondence between
this Government and Great Britain relating
to the Fortune Bay affair, and, when that
shall have been received, it seems
probable that a movement for the
abrogation of the fisheries treaty
and for the repeal Of the statute which ex-
empts from duty Canadian fish and fish oil
will be passed almost by unanimous consent.
The New England Representatives discovered
long ago that the provisions Of the fishery
treaty were exclusively for the benefit Of the
Canadian Government, and will unanimous
ly favor the abrogation of the treaty which
permits the entry, duty free, Of Canadian
fish and fish oils, and RENTS duty Of about
half a million dollars annually.
The news from Great Britain Of course eff
fectually destroys the prospects Of re-
ciprocity treaty, and makes it probable that
Congress will endeavor in some way
TO RETAL1ATE
for the action Of Great Britain. The first and
most practical measure Of retaliation is the
abrogation Of the unfair and one-sidcd fishery
treaty. Seven years Of the treaty are already
expired, and for the remaining five Great
Britain guarantees no redress either to the
American fishermen robbed of this right by
hard necessity which governs the life of the
fishermen Of Newfoundland or support to
those from whom the enforcement of the
treaty will take the bread necessary for the
support of their children and wives. The
United States unqualidedly demand that
their fishermen have the right to take these |
fish with seines or otherwise, but every at
tempt is met with violence, and nothing
but force will attain this object.

OTTAWA, April 24.-The second deputa.
tion in connection with the proposed decrease
| of the tolls on the Wclland Canal and the
Montreal harbor had an interview with Sir
Charles Tnpper. Speeches explanatory Of
the deputatl0n's desire to induce the Govern
ment to reduce the tolls on the Weliand
Canal and the Montreal harbor dues
were made By DR.. Ollie, Messrs.
Melon and Murray. They pointed out
the advantages which had accrued to
the State Of New York BY the adoption of a
liberal policy in regard to canal tolls, and
claimed that the adoption of these sugges-
tons would bring about similar results in
Canada Petitions to this effect were pre-
sented to Parliament some time ago. Sir
Charles Tupper, after putting a few inqui-
ries to the deputatlon, promised to lay the
matter at an early day before his colleagues
for consideration. 1t is anticipated that the
question will be thoroughly discussed this
session by Parliament when the items on ac-
count of the Wella1ld Canal are reached in

EDANAPoL1s, Ind, April 24.-Char1es E.
Van Dusen, local agent Of the Cincinnati, In
dianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago Railroad at
Lafayette, was in this city about a week ago,
since which time his whereabouts have not
been known, although he is believed to have
gone to New York State, where his family
resides. An Investigation of his accounts as
agent at Lafayette shows deficiency of over
$1,000, and some, grain transactions in which
he was engaged may result in the loss Of
several thousand dollars additional to the
Railroad Company. He was formerly with
the Wabash, and stood so high that no bond
was exacted. J. II. johnson, Assistant Gen
eral Freight-Agent Of the road, will probably
be located at Lafayette, and, in addition to his
other duties, assume those Of Van Dusen.

pany in the purchase Of grain, and does not
