OCEAN POSTAL RATES.
Mr.. Beck Argues That Subsidies Are
Not Aida to Commerce.


WASHINGTON, April 29.-Tn the Sem
ate to-day the post Office appropriation
bill was taken up, on which Mr.. Beck mad
the floor. Mr.. Beck opposed the pending
amendment because it was new legisla-
tion.a he insisted that it was bad policy
for the Republicans to force on the adj
minlstration provisions against which the
President, Postmaster General and House
of Representatives all protested. The
Senator from Maine Mr.Frye) had sought
10 make the foreign mail provision
mandatory one, but the Postmaster Gen
eral had shown to the committee tnat IL
would be so detrimental to the public
service that a majority of the committee
had not been able to submit to it. Mr..
Beck said that the object of this proposed
amendment was to give bounty TO GER
tain steamship lines in the hope that
trade could thus be built up.
NOT A POSTAL MATTER.
That was a matter not for the Post
Office Department, but for the Senate
Committee on Commerce. The present
bill was the post office appropriation bill,
not bill to develop commerce. As to
the effect of subsidies, Mr.. Beck quoted a
variety OF statistics TO show thai subsl-
dies had never increased our foreign com
merce, not excepting the Pacific mail
subsidies, of which, ne said, nobody was
proud and OF which nothing had come but
corruption. Good administration of the
Post Office Department required that the
mails should be carried in the swlftest
vessels. To compel the Post Office De-
partment to send the mails in slow ships
under the pretense that such course
was for the benefit of the commerce
was bad policy, and would embarrass the
administration of the Post Office Depart
ment. Nlne-One per cent. OF our mails
would in any case be carried independent
Of this proposed subsidy, and would cost
not One-half the amount required by this
proposition to carry what would be COW
cred by the amendment. In the course
of his rather long speech Mr.. Beck entered
upon an elaborate discussion of the tariff,
in which he was frequently Interrupted
by other Senators, drawing from him in
once instance The remark: 81 would
like to be permitted to finish a sentence
once in a while"
Mr.. Beck occupied the floor, though
with considerable interruption, three
hours and half.
Mr.. Hale then took up the defense OF the
$500. 900 amendment. At O'Clock, Mr..
Hale still having the floor, the Senate
went into executive session and at 9
O'Clock the doors were reOpened and it
adjourned.

Tennessee's Moonshine War Believed to
Have Only just Begun.
CHATTANOOGA TENN, April 29.-Coffee
and Grumpy counties, Tenn, are in an up
roar of excitement over the sensational
attack on United States Deputy Marshal
Purdin at Manchester Monday night.
The Deputy Marshal, who shot down five
OF the moonshiners before he succumbed,
is in a critical condition, but it is thought
he will recover. The wounded moon
sinner named Clark, who was lett at
PurGin's house for dead by his comrades,
is still alive and may survive. The other
four wounded men were carried to the
mountains by the mOonshiners, and are
now secreted in cave in
the Cumberland range. Thirty of the
mountaineers have banded together to
protect them, and are defylng the officials.
State and county officers are securing the
country for the band, and bloody con-
f1ict will ensue when they meet. The
mountaneers are armed to the teeth, and
declare they will defend the wounded with
their lives. 1t is feared at Manchester
that an attack will be made TO fOrcibly
rescue the wounded moonshiner, and a
strong posse of armed men has been or
ganized to guard him. Much bloOdshed
ia feared.

YOUNG BEECHER's CHANCES.
He MisapprOpriAted Money and the SEN
ate viii not Confirm His NOmin alton.

He Mjssppropriated VI oney and the SEN
ate will not Confirm His Nomination.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The an
nouncement that the nomination of young
Beecher for post on the Pacific coast
would be rejected is verified by advices
from Senators. His rejection is fully de-
termined upon. Rev. Henry Ward Beech
err has been before the committee, has ar
gued, pleaded, stormed and cOaXed. The
damning fact came out that the young
man was Obliged 10 give MS note for $500
to the person who intrusted him with the
amount to buy postal notes, and there IS
not the remotest chance for young Beech
er or anybody else being confirmed
by the Senate for any position of honor or
profit with such charge against him.
1t is said that the elder Beecher charges
1t all on Senator Vest and the other men,
bers of the Democratic Committee, but
the Republicans are as much opposed to
it as the Democrats. Young Beecher
Will have to step down and out, and that
in hurry, too.

against Mrs. A. CHASER, went before
Judge Simmons praying that a receiver

was to prevent Edward CHASER from in
terferIng with the goods. }. L. Anderson

defendants were notified to APP
pear before Judge Simmons on May Is
to show cause why the injunction should
not be made permanent. Mr.. Camp holds

Baker, 500. and Sullivan & Co., $500.
