wounded by o bullet from Williams pistol, ana,
It is feared, is MORALLY hurt. Barbour was editor
Of the Piedmont Advance, and Williams OF the
Culpeper Exponent, and the shooting grew out OF

| from Washington, signed "Jack Clatterbuck." ap-
peared in the Advance. The letter made some
caustic illusions to Williams, Of the Exponent.
Last Fridays issue Of the Exponent contained .
vance and ali connected With it, saying the editor
was more an object Of pity than Of resentment,
and that he was not the principal but was pvt up

Barbour replied: "We can settle through our
friends"
Williams then said: mo; we will settle 1t right
now" and struck Barbour with his fist. Then
both drew their revolvers and began firing at each
other at distance OF about six PAGES. Barbour's
rst shot, 1t Is thought, struck Williams In the re-
g1on OF the heart. After emptying his revolver he
sank TO the floor. Doctors were summoned but IL
was evident that he hadn't many minutes to live.
He died in less than an hour after the shooting: .
Barbour was found to have been shot through
the scrotum, the ball coming out the extreme lower
part OF his body. He Is lying at his fathers house
In very precartouS condition.
Young Williams was a nephew OF Gen. Robert
Williams. OF the United States Army, who married
the widow OF the late stephen A. Douglass.
Barbour Is the son OF Hon. James Barbour men,
Der OF the virginia house OF delegates from Gull
pepper, and nephew OF SenatOr-elect John s Bar.

Mr.. COKE, COAL OPERATOR IN THE LEHIoH RE.
GI0N, BEFORE THE STRIKE INVESTIGATION CON-
MITrEE.
Mr.. Eckley B. Coke, one OF the leading operators
In the Lehgh region. testified before the Reading
strike investigating committee yesterday after.
noon. He said he was willing TO arbitrate difYer-
ences with hts employees except in cases where It
would be business suicide to do So He was al
ways willing TO arbitrate where the questions in
volved were proper ones for arbitration; he did
not think the present trouble presented question
OF that Kind. His loss by the strike was about
81, 900 day; he had $4,000 or 1000 tons OF coal
on hand at the time OF the strike, much OF IL al.
ready contracted for The advance in prices which
the strike caused yielded him $4,000 or $50 600
more than he would have otherwise received
Tor the coal he had on hand, but this sum was all
absorbed In the losses OF the first month OF the
strike. His action In regard TO the miners de-
mands had been taken without reference TO what
other operators would do. There was no UNDER
standing among the operators all statements to
the contrary notwithstanding. Mr.. Coke said
that, SO far as coal was concerned, q reciprocity
treaty with Canada would be good thing. we
should send them six tons to one they would send
us
Chairman T1liman having suggested that the
committee should mediate between Coxe's com.
pany and the strikers. Mr.. Coke remarked: s.Just
let US alone. IL Is like outsider interfering In
quarrel between man and wife. You wo uid make
IL worse"

TARIFF TALK IN TINE SENATE.
A Lively Discus>iOm Started by SEN.
atOr Beck.

There was tariff in the Senate as well as I'm the
House yesterday. Senator Beck began a speech
against the dependent pensions bill but switched
on TO the tariff, and for the remainder OF the day
that was the subject OF debate.
Mr.. Beck charged the republicans with a desire
TO consume the Treasury surplus in the payment
OF pensions and thus prevent tariff legislation
He said there were numerous men in the Senate,
especially on the republican side who were many
times millionaires, but they had adjusted taxa
ton so that not one OF them paid more taxes than
his liverfed cOachman. The rich senator paid
tax OF forty cents per gallon on the wine he drank
while his coachman paid 800 per cent on his
whisky.
Senator Plumb asked II Mr. Beck favored the re-
peal OF the whisky TAX, to which the latter re-
piled that he did not; that there was no more
legitimate tax than that imposed on whisky and
tobacco. But none OF the millionaire Senators
drank whisky unless, perhaps, the Senator from
Kansas (Mr. Plumb) This shot at the Kansas
Senator produced laugh at his expense.
The republican senators, or a number o them
began to fire questions at Mr.. Beck. From first
one and then another questions were launched at
the kentucky senator, he, meantime, standing at
his desk, and with some Manifestation OF impa-
thence, endeavoring to make some Roadway in an
ner, accused the republicans Ofs"nibbling" ut him.
Senator Plumb charged that the democratic
Senators were protectionists whenever 1t came TO
projecting any product In which their states re-
spectively were interesed.
AT $50 the Senate adjourned, the pension bill
having been scarcely mentioned during the after
noon.
