TIE NEXT WAR"
A New York journal Talhs About Figt

A New York journal Talhs About Fight
Jog the South.
New YORK, December 9th-The Nail
and Express (Rep), Colonel Shepard's g
paper, had another war editorial last
evening, entitled why the North Will
Fight" In it Colonel Shepard says: with
every disposition for peace, our former ex-
perience has shown US that the Southrons
can be compelled to do justice to all classes
of our fellow-citizens in no other
way than by war. If war has got
to come, the quicker the better, and
let the North begin it. The safety of the
republic demands the full and free opera
ton of the fundamental principle on which
our Constitution is based, and that is the
right of the majority to rule"
The basis of the editorial is the statement
that already by the too great magnanimity
Of Northern sentiment the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth amendments to the
Constitution. which are all that the North
gained or saved from the wreck of treasure
and life, have been stealthily, persistently.
and now are openly. overturned, denounced
and defied. The spirit of Democracy is the
only one tolerated in the upper circles of
the South; and there is to-day Just as bitter,
compact and determined an aristocracy
dominant through the old slave States. and
as unrelenting, domineering. vindictive and
bloody an aristocracy as there was in 1861 -
The editorial concludes mo one would
deprecate war more than ourselves. and If
the South would prevent war it must
speedily wheel about, and by course of
justice and equity remove its necessity"

ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE nEoonD-usIos.l

BIRMINGHAM (Ala }. December 8th.-New
developments to-day form strong chain
of circumstantial evidence against Hawes
who is charged with numbering his wife
and daughter. This afternoon the dead
body of his former wife was found at the
bottom of the lake, weighted with stones
and railroad iron. Her head had been
crushed with an ak.
The woman's body was at first taken tc
an undertaker's, but the crowd there was
so great that it was removed out of the
city.
When told of the find, Hawes persisted
in his innocence. The Sheriff thought il
best 10 remove him to Montgomery, and
asked if he would be willing to don DO.

streets. He decided that it was best to re.

York Depew repeated rumor to the
effect that President Cleveland had on one
occasion actually struck his wife for hav-
ing gone TO the opera with Colonel Waiter

Cleveland is given to over-indulgence in
liquor, and is autocratic and abusive to-
ward his wife.
A dispatch from New York contains an
interview with Depew, in which he denies
having done more than repeated what he
had been told Wa5terson himself had
said. He says he didn't believe the story

BEFORE CONGRESS.
How the Week Will be Consumed in the
National legislature


WASHINGTON, December 9th-The Sen
ate will be engaged this week in the dis
cussion of tariff II is hoped that sufficient
progress will be made on the bill to insure
its adoption before the holiday recess. The
pending question is the reduction of the
duties on structural iron and steel from Il
cents per pound 10 $40 cents per pound.
1t was proposed by Senator Plumb, of Kan
sas, and Senator Harris has proposed a still
further reduction to 10 cents per pound.
Senator Plumbs action (he being Repub-
lican) has created some anxiety among the
iron manufacturers. Plumb is not the only
Republican from an agricultural State who
thinks there should be a substantial reduc-
ton in tariff duties all along the line, but
Senator Payne of Ohio Democrat, saws
he will oppose any reduction of duty on
structural iron or steel.
In the House tomorrow the roll of
States will be called for the introduction of
bills and resolutions. This will be followed
by the committees. Business affecting the
interests of the District of Columbia will
then be in order, unless otherwise agreed
upon by unanimous consent. The direct
tax bill will be in order for Tuesday and
Wednesday, on the latter day a vote being
taken, and the time of the House will be
consumed for the remainder of the week
by special orders of various descriptions.

Graphic Account of the situstion-The
Citizens Excited.
NASHVILLE, December 9th.-A special
from Birmingham says The defenders of
last nights wholesale slaughter are quoting
in behalf of its perpetrators that "the
blood of the martyr is the seed of the
church" They declare that the killing
was done by the sworn officers of the law
IN the discharge of their duty, and that this
example OF their unterrified intent to up
hold the statutes in all their majesty will
prove valuable though tragic lesson to
mo5s in the future.
But the public are not disposed thus
philosophically 10 look upon the tragedy.
Nine citizens out of ten in this CITY are
open in their denunciation of what they
call the awful crime. Men were shot down
who were neither mobbers nor incitors to
mob vengeance. Their dead bodies, when
examined, were not loaded down with
weapons. Throckmorton had no pistol,
and was endeavoring to induce the crowd
to withdraw. To-day, ali through the long
hours of the Sabbath
THE BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS
Has crimsoned almost every understand.
iug, and the limit of violence is openly
advocated for those who last night fred the
iatal bullets. IL IS generally believed that
the recklessness and haste of the Sheriff in
giving the command to fire was assassina-
ton, and 1t is stated on all sides that the
immense gathering was not for the pur-
pose OF forcing in the jail, but rather one of
curiosity. There was never any real
danger of an assault
The Age-Herdld to-day, with consider
able enterprise, gave TO It's readers several
extra editions, and with wise foresight
shaped its editorials and local articles with
view to ailay the excitement and if pos
slble prevent any further trouble.
THERE IS NO CALM,
However. in the public mind. and the in.
terest and excitement is far greater than in
the last twenty-four hours. In the light of
last nights terrors the Hswes affair has

Hawes, the Cause eff All the Trouble,
Denies His Guilt

BIRMINGHAM, December 9th. - Halves
was interviewed to-day by friend. In re-
sponse to the first question as to his guilt
he said This is terrible. Here l am,
confined in this cell, charged with murder
ing my wife and daughter. Why should |
kill them? l loved those two children,
and once | loved their mother The chill
dren | could not have killed, because my
heart was too full of love for them. The
mother | would not have killed, because
we were apart"
When asked what he did when he heard
shots last night, Hawes said: Il got up
and dressed myself ready to go with the

man could endure"

Where the Pope May Locate, Should He
Leave Rome.


LONDON, December 9th-The papers here
are giving good deal of space to the rumor
about the Pope's intention of leaving Rome
for more congenial asylum. Originally
these reports dealt only with the contin-
gency of war between France and ItaIv. in
which case the departure of the Pope
would be political necessity There is q
lot OF descriptive literature about the tinv
Alpine principality of Lichtenstein. .of
which Prince John is sovereign. This little
pocket State, with a population of 10 600
and an army of fifty soldiers, is ruled by
middle-aged devotee. His recent offer of
the principality to the Pope as refuge in
the event of war is believed to be favorably
regarded at the Vatican. But the Pope has
just enjoined the Catholics of Italy to vote
at the coming election for Deputies instead
OF advising them TO abstain, as heretofore
Il the result should be the return of the
Conservative majority, people are likely to
hear no more about the removal OF the

THE NEXT HOUSE.
Reed Thinks The Republicans Will Have
Five Majority.

WASHINGTON. December 9th.-Represent-
ative Reed, of Maine, is OF the opinion
that there will not be an extra session of
the Fifty-frst Congress. He bases bis opin-
ion upon the belief that the Republicans
will have majority of five in the next
House, and that immediate organization
will not be necessary to obtain control of
the machinery of legislation. If the ma
jority should be put down to one, or even
to three, and any slip should occur to de-
prive the Republicans of full attendance
of their members when the Fifty first Con-
gress assemblies, it would provoke serious
situation. If one of their men should die,
and the Democrats should elect the
Speaker, it is a question whether the
Speaker could be unseated again if the Re-
publicans regained their majority. Fill
clustering would probably have to be re-
sorted to to prevent this happening until
the vacancy that might occur would be
filed

BIRMINGHAM, December 9th-In an in
terview this evening Sheriff Smith said:
We begged and pleaded with the crowd
to keep back. Then they fired the first
shot and several shots were fred by the
crowd before l gave the order to fire. We
begged them to halt at the mouth of the
alley and still they kept coming We
begged them to go back and time
and again warned them that we
would shoot. but they would not listen to
US. They came half way up the alley, close
to the jail door, and shouted: Blow up
the Jail with dynamiter After all this,
and after they opened fire, gave the order
to iire. They continued after we ceased.
feel that we could not have done anything
else under the circumstances, and l deeply
regretted the necessity"
Chief of Police Richards, who was in the
JAIL corroborated the Sheriff's story. The
officers who took part in the affair stood in
small groups and talked in subdued tones.
1t was terrible experience, and one they
will not soon forget.

AERIAL NAVIGATION.

Invented Air-SbiD

New YORK, December 9th.-Peter C
Campbell, a Brooklyn ieweler. has invented
balloon, the trial trip of which was made
at Coney Island this afternoon. James X.
Allen, the aeronaut, of Providence, navi.
gated the balloon, which was inflated with
pure oxygen generated on the spot. Wher
Allen reached the hight OF 1900 feet, Camp
bell signaled him to come down. He did
so without difficulty, alighting on the very
spot from which he started. He then rose
600 feet, remaining stationary for some
time, after which he sailed about in differ.
ent directions. Allen says the balloon
obeyed its various propellers and screws in.
variably, with few minor exceptions.
