10 capture the notorious Dave Gillespie.
Ths officer offered 500 reward to the
person who will lodge Gillespie in Jail,
"but few," he says, seem anxious TO
undertake the capture this notorious

his crowd have committed shameful out
RACES upon the innocent colored people
in that neighborhood, whom they charg-
ed with giving information to the reve-
nue. officers. They went in disguise
and whipped men aud women, robbed
one or two Of their money, destroyed
their property, drove them rom Their
homes, some OF them half-naked and
formed thirteen Of them into one party
on the road to West Virginia and or
dered them TO leave on the penalty vi
death il they returned. This revival OF
Kukluxism by illicit distillers and their
friends in the mountains OF Franklin

an extent that they are afraid to even

LONDON, May 3.--The negotiations for
a new Anglo French commercial treaty
begin to attract great attention. The
existing treaty will expire in November
and il the new treaty is not concluded
and ratified between now and the disso.
luton of the Chamber Of Deputies, Eng
land will in November be confronted
with a general tariff which will DO al.
most prohibitory. Her only means OF
self-protection is by retaliatory duties on
French wines, brandy, silk and articles
de Paris. The French, although appar.
emily anxious to make new agreement,
insist strongly on the abolition of ad
valorem duties Such persistence en-
dangers the whole scheme Of the treaty,
as specific duties are believed by Eng.
land to bear unfairly upon woolen and
cotton goods, which are the largest OF the
Epglish exports.

Question.

Question
WASHINGTON, May 2.-When the un.
finished business came up Davis oil
West Virginia took the floor with q
speech on the debt question between
the Virginias. Promising his remarks
with the expression of regret that the
speeches made by the Senators from
Virginia and Ohio (Mahone and Sher-
map, should have compel ed him to
discuss in this chamber what he con-
sidered TO be purely local matter. The
debt question in West Virginia has
never been made political one, and he
regretted he Republican Senator'S
should make statements rejecting on
the action Of the Democrats OF that
State on that question. Davis gave the
history OF the debt complication, and
said the Virginiss and their people will
pay their debts, and sooner the better.
He hoped the two States would soon
come together and settle the question.
After short debate Oh the debt OF the
Yirginias the Senate adjourned.

A REPLY TO DORSEY.

He Must Take His Turn and be Invests
gated With the Other Mail Service Rob-
bers.
W.sHISaTox, May 3.-Postmaster-
General James received ex-senator Dor
say's letter, demanding an investigation
of the la;t RS alleged fraudulent connec-
ton with a number OF star routes, and
demanding a statementin writing OF the
true status of each case, last night. MIR.
James will probably address reply to
Mr.. Dorsey tomorrow. The Postmaster
General has made no charges against
Dorsey or any other individual holding
contracts or representing those who hold
contracts. The department has simply
made public certain tables show
ing the manipulation OF certain
routes. Mr.. Dorsey was interested in
several OF the routes in question.
Whether he became interested in those
routes in fraudulent or in legitimate
manner, or secured increases OF pay by
honest OF dishonest means, is a matter
concerning which Mr.. James has not
expressed an opinion. The department
is engaged in inquiry, which, 1t is ex.
pected, will reveal 10 the satisfaction oil
Mr.. Dorsey, the Postoffice Department
and the public, whether what is termed
the contractors ring" has been
guilty OF fraudulent and dishon-
est practices or not, and whether
or not Mr.. Dorsey is involved
in alleged dishonest practices. The Post
master General, it is believed, cannot
grant special investigation for the bene-
fit OF Mr., Dorsey or any other individual.
Every detail OF the inquiry now being
made is in possession OF the attorney
general. He is an able and experienced
lawyer. Mr.. MacVeagh knows whether
the evidence is good or bad Or inditfer-
ent for the purpose Of sustaining criml.
nal prosecution, and il the inquiry set
on foot by the Postollice Department Is
bootless, those gentlemen now suspect
ed OF improper practices will be iully
and completely exoaerated. Mr.. Dorsey
must take his turn with the rest.
A Rumor,
prevailing here, but which cannot be
confirmed, is that two oil the Star Route
contractors have "squealed'-at least
have so far given their pals away as to
establish enough evidence to show con-
spiracy, and that the Attorney General
is putting this evidence in shape to in
stitute criminal proceedings at once.
The Postoffice Department has nothing
new TO make public, but the investiga-
ton is being pushed fearlessl y, without
reference to who may be hurt.
So far as the investigation OF the con-
tracts asked for in Senator Dorsey's
letter is concerned, it can be stated that
these and other contracts have been the
subject of investigation for some time.
1t is not the policy of the Postmaster
General to try the case in the news
papers. He will go ahead and gather
all the evidence possible bearing on the
supposed frauds, and when it is COM
pleted will turn it over to the Attorney
General for such action as he may see
fit in the premises.

CmCAGo. May 3.-The strike among
the Swi;chmen ia general this morning
and the clerks, yard masters and gray
heads, who early served an apprentice
shipa the business, are taking the places
OF the strikers at all the yards. The
western roads on account of the floods
have been taking only a moderate
amount OF freight and their business is
not notably affected bv the strike, but
in the yards Of the Eastern roads there
are delays already, which may Decome
serious II some arrangements are not
soon made to take back the strikers or
iill their places. The switchmen are
quiet and orderly and say they have no
intention OF preventing the companies
from employing men in their places, but
they will never yield their point nor
compromise. They are confident OF ulti-
mate victory.
