FOR FORT WORTH.
Congressman Abbott Will Agitate
the Public Building.
The Speaker Has signified His willing
ness to Recognize Mr.. Abbott to
Call Up His Important Bill.
The Failure of the Passage Of the Tariff Dill to
Be Blamed Upon the Democrats.
Capital Occurrences.
Abo,it the Tariff BIZ,

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-Should the
senate refuse to take holiday recess it
will be novel proceeding, and indica
tive Of q desire of the Republicans to
pass the tariff bill and throw the blame
for its failure at this session upon the
Democratic ways and means committee.
This purpose is neither honest nor sim
cere, and is simply an attempt to gag the
senate with so-called tariff reduction
measure and make the body accept it
This attempt will be strongly resisted by
the Democratic senators, who want suf-
ficient time to intelligently debate the
measure and to give it proper study.
They are determined the bill shall not
go through the senate in an undigested
state. The senate is now probably lit
tie more than q fourth of the way through
the bill, but practically all this progress
was made before the Democrats adopted
their energetic policy of attack. Before
they took up this policy about thirty
three or thirty-four pages were gone over
very rapidly. Since then not more than
seven or eight pages have been passed,
and the progress appears to be getting
slower rs they advance. This Is what has
y
efforts they are making 1t is well I'M
derstood that the Democrats are not en-
gagged in temporary obstruction of the
bill, but will continue their present policy
until the last line is read. When
they were once aroused to the contest
they took hold of it with determination
to acquit themselves so as not to be sub
ject again to the reproaches OF their
friends in the house. As they go on with
the bill those who are taking the lead are
ayailing themselves of every opportunity
to broaden their grasps of the question.
They are determined not to let the bill go
to the house for some time yet. The
fight will go on actively and 1t is regarded
as not unlikely that some of the appro-
priation bills will be seriously delayed by
it. -
WORK IN THE HOUSE.
Meanwhile the house is making as
rapid progress as possible with the
appropriation bills, SO as to relieve
them Of the responsibility of an extra
session and to make the show of being
ready to consider the tariff bill whenever
the senate shall send it to them.
Congressman Abbott hopes to get his
bill up for public building at Fort
Worth soon after the holiday recess
The speaker has signified his will
ingness to recognize Mr.. Abbott
to call up his bill, and If unani-
nous consent can be obtained it
will go through. The senate carries
Sl30 900 while the house bill names S75,-
600 as the limit of cost. But if the bin
passes the house this matter can be easily
adjusted in conference committee. Since
the establishment of new postal divis-
ion at Fort .Worth there is-now more need
than ever of q. suitable public building.

A NEW SOUTHERN INDUSTRY.
The Best Way to Destroy the Bagging Trust
Outlined ..

CHARLESTON, s. c., Dec. 15.-At the
annual meeting of the cotton exchange
yesterday a report was made on expert
lnents conducted through the summer
with pine fiber cotton bagging Us sub
stitute for iute bagging. The report
brings out some points which are consid-
cred important. 1t has been demon
strated that the pine fiber cotton bagging
can be manufactured at almost any
weight per yard. 1t will not rot or stay
cotton. 1t can be manufactured at less
price than iute bagging, even if jute
should be placed ON the free list. The
committee under whose direction the ex-
periments were made think that with i'm
proved machinery the manufacture of
pine straw bagging will become one of
the most profitable industries in the
South.

past fall the gin house of white farmer
was burned and a negro was accused
of burning the gin. 1t IS impossible at
this writing to ascertain the names OF
those two parties. Yesterday evening
the son of the farmer whose gin was
burned, met the negro who had been ac-
cused of being the firebug, and twitted
him about it, The negro became en-
ragged at the boy and beat him most bru-
tally. A warrant was at once issued for
the arrest of the negro, and constable
went to his house to take him prisoner.
The supposed firebug resisted arrest, and
in the struggle that ensued the
constable was worsted. The constable
at once returned to walhala and posse
was organized to arrest the negro. The
posse consisted of twelve men, and they
+at once started for the negro s house, To-
Gated about three miles from Walhala.
In the meantime the negro had called
upon many friend. to come to his assist
ance, and had fortified himself in his log
hut with some thirty or forty of his own
color TO help him. When the sheriff 8
posse approached within gunshot of the
house
THE NEGROES OPENED FIRE

ten out of the twelve white men were
either killed or wounded. Below Is given
n. LIST of the killed and wounded. Which
we're killed or which wounded cannot be
ascertained The operator at Wslhala
cannot give information as the shooting
occurred at old WaIhaIa. several miles
from the railroad: Tom Nicholson,
known to be killed; Henry Murray, Seth
Cobb, Bill Vaughan, Bill Hare, Frank
Murray, Tom Giles, Beas Harper, John
Dewend. left Thomas.
Information is obtained from the oper-
ator at Walhala that up to d. m. three
dead bodie, have been brought to town.
This affray occurred Yesterday evening
and the news of it wa, not distributed
until to-day Excitement M and down
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad is intense,
and the officials of the road have offered
free TRANSFORMATION to all who wish to go to
the scene of the trouble MANY have taken
advantage of the offer, and each train on
that line has carried many volunteers to
the scene of the riot. A cavalry COM
pany of Crawford Miss. thirty miles
from Walhala, started at once for that
Mace to volunteer their assistance. A
military compauy at West Point hold
themselye. in readiness to go to the scene
of the riot if ii becomes necessary but
the excitement has somewhat abated,
and at this writing no further serious
trouble is expected.
Asmauy as eight negroes are rumored
to have been killed to-day but this is not
authentic. The operator at Walhala re-
fuses to answer any more questions, and
no further information can be obtained.

NEGRO RIGHTS.
Probable Legislation Fixing Their Status In
the Chiekasaw Nation.

the Ch1ckasaW NatiOn.
LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Dec. II AN In
dian Territory special says: The Chicka-
saw legislature, which il expected to
convene in special session shortly and
confirm the election of Guy as governor,
will probably enact some kind of legisla-
ton fixing the statue Of negroes IL the
Chickasaw nation. Tho Chickasaws have
denied the rights of citizenship to freed
men living in their country Recently
the question has been raised whether,
under the constitution of the United
States, negroes could be deprived
of the rights guaranteed by that
instrument, and there is probability
of bin being passed by the legislature
comforting suffrage upon them. Many
Chickasaws favor coionizing the negroes
in Oklahoma, paying them for their
property and other rights acquired as
adopted citizens of the Chickasaw nation.
The negroes outnumber the Chiekasaws,
and the latter fear that giving them right
to vote will be attended with dangerous
consequences.

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER,

WASHINGTON, Dec. II, 1888.
Hon. W. H. Grain, NJ. c., United States House
of Representatives.
SIR Hsg leave to make the following
replies to the interrogations in your let
ter of the 18th inst:
To question one: The board of en-
gineers towhich the subject of the i'm
provement of the entrance to Galveston
harbor was referred in report dated
January II, 1886, (annual report chief
of engineers for 1886, part II, page 1297)
estimated the cost of jetties completed to
the thirty-foot depth of water outside at
81 900 900, their aggregate length being
81 200 feet; the estimated cost of the jet
ties out to the crest of the bar So 900 ZOO
and that this amount would probably give
two-thirds = of . the depths that
jetties carried out to the thirty-foot
curves would give. These estimates sup
pose that the money would be supplied
the board the depth which the ietties
will maintain cannot be stated with pre-
cision. The case differs widely from that
of the South Piss of the Mississippi,
where 1.-THE securing current results

According to the Argus the Democratic
party and President Cleveland have pledged
themselves to treat trusts as any other pub
lie abuses would be treated. When and
where did it or he make this pledge? Trusts
have been in existence some years, and the
Democratic party has been. meanwhile, in
control of the national government. What
trusts has it put down? Has it suppressed
the Standard Oil trust? Has the sugar
trust been extinguished? On the contrary
the Standard Oil concern is as Aourishing
as ever, as the Golfers Of the treasury Of the
Democratic national committee into which it
has poured percentage of its huge gains,
can testify. As for the sugar trust, the only
move the Democracy have yet made upon
that is to put up the duty on sugar at the
request of its President, Mr.. Havemeyer, of
New York, who contributed literally to the
election of Mr.. Cleveland four years ago
and is said to have pooled in literally this
year also. If the Argus will name any trust
which the Democracy has suppressed or
tried to we shall be greatly obliged.

To be freed from the dangers Of suffocation
while lying down; to breath freely, sleep soundly
and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear,
brain active and free from pain or ache; to know
that no poisonous putrid matter defiles the
breath and rots away the delicate machinery of
smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system
does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up
the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy,
is indeed blessing beyond all other human en-
joyments. To purchase immunity from such a
fate should be the object of all afflicted. But
those who have tried many remedies and physi-
clans despair of relief or cure.
