such an impression. 1t is also fairly
probable, taking into consideration the
testimony of Messrs. Robson, Gaines,
Dawson, Clark and Tyson, and the letter
written by Mr.. Keifer March 3, 1883, that
this agreement or understanding, if it ex-
listed, affected both Messrs. Dawson and
Tyson; that the negotiations between
Messrs. Dawson and Tyson, by which the
former agreed TO share his salary with the
latter during the vacation of Congress,
were had with the knowledge and APP
proval of Mr.. Keifer. 1t is fair 70 state,
however, that Mr.. Keifer did not see. the
contract between Messrs. Dawson and
Tyson either before or after it's execution,
and was in no wise a beneficiary thereof,
except in so far as it saved him from the
painful necessity of ordering the removal
of either MIR. I.ys on or Mr.. Dawson. That

ROBBED IN AN AUGUSTA BANK.
$2,5OO Extracted From Money Satchel
The Robbers Probably CAPTURED.

$2,5OO Extracted From Money Satchel
The Robbers Probably Captured.
AUGUSTA, GA, March 22.-To-day one
OF the boldest bank robberies ever heard
of was committed in this city, by which
Richard d. Crocker, bookkeeper at the
Commercial Bank, was robbed of 81, 800.
He had been making exchange colIec-
tiOns from other banks and had gone into
the National Bank for that purpose, and
had partly opened a satchel containing
over $4,000 to receive money, when two
strangers entered the bank. One re-
malned In the rear while the other showed
Mr.. CrOcker a check and asked if that
was the Georgia Railroad Bank. Mr..
Crocker partly turned around and told
him that 1t was few doors below. The
man then asked few more questions and
then went out with his companion. As
soon as they left Mr.. Crocker dis
covered that he had been robbed,
and tried to overtake them, but they had
disappeared. All points were notified by
telegraph to look out for them. This
afternoon the conductor of the Port ROYAL
train, Which left here at l 40 o'clock, tele-
graphed from Allendale that he had ar
rested two men who answered the das
ScIiption and who had boarded the train
outside Df the city. They were searched
and number Of checks and great many
keys found, but no money. A special
train LEFT tonight for Allendale with bank
officials and police to identify them, and
If they are the right ones they will be
brought back to Augusta. These are
probably the men who ''wOrked" the
Macon tanks Thursday. A telegram was
received from Allendale at midnight say
ing that the train had left for Augusta
with the suspected men.

Mildly Discussed.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-EX-Senator
Mcdonald is beginning in the role of
peacemaker on the tariff. He was very
busy to-day 'in the House and Senate,
especially in the House. He got knots of
members around him and argued for har-
mony. He wishes peace on the basis of
the Morrison bill with some concessions
to the Randall men. His influence is be-
Ing felt to a certain extent. He had a
long conference with Messrs. WattersOn
and Mills, of Texas, in the Ways and
atv"As Committee room today. Mr.. Mills
is one OF the lew D2m9crdUS VINO s5U

stand by the caucus action on the tariff is
out of the party. To-day there has been
a good deal of quiet tariff talk, but no eX-
citement on the subject. They are wait

practical result that looks towards har-
mOny.

of Speaker Keifer's nephew, Mr.. Gaines,
to fill the vacancy. The report concludes
as follows: "We have reviewed with
great care the testimony submitted and
find that there are several conflicting
statements as to the minor points involved

existed from the date of Mr.. Tvson's ap-
