MELTING HORSES AND MEN.

The course of the shot through them was
marked by melting of horses and men and
a spray of shredded flesh and clothing, while
amid the kissing of the iron gale there was
a low, harsh sound that | can ascribe only to
the rending of bones and tissue. They
passed us ike coursers at the finish, the
horses reaching with lightning strides
and the men high in their stirrups
cheering and brandishing their sabers
They passed within snow ball range of

pistols and small arms upon the red ranks.

came a sudden check to the firing as though
the cannon had been throttled. The shock of
direct conflict ensued, but in a few minutes
the broken remnant of the troops reappeared,
forced back by the hopelessneSs of the at
tack. There was some firing upon the brave
fellows as they retraced their corpse strewn
path Of glory, but my battery took no part
in it We felt great admiration for the troops,
but never understood, as no one eise, be
lieve, the purpose of the maneuver.

A Graphic Description of the Charge by
q Russian OfHcer Of the Battery That

Col Nicholas Wampler, Russian gentle
man, formerly in the cars army and diplo-
matte service, hut now resident Of Balti-
more, was interviewed by Chicago Times
reporter, and among the interesting things
he said was the following description of the
famous "charge Of the Light Brigade"
1t was a sublime autumn morning, with
the sun breaking through low mists, when
our army began to move TO the attack was
in the artillery service commanding then, rs
younker or sub-lie.tenant, two guns Of six

light, and, penetrating a defle in line of
hills, we dehouched into the plain of Balak-
lava under glorious SunhurSt. We could
see the enemy's pickets and here and thera
mounted vidette retreating before us and
as the fog lifted we beheld the smoke of
the bivouacs that marked the hostile posi-
ton along the heights Then speedily came
the other smoke as their ordnance opened the
majestic prelude OF the battle Our artillery,
clearing the pass, parted right and left tc

Conkling fell asleep again, and seemed
to be resting comfortably. During the
physicians last visit for the night a
message of sympathy arrived from
Washington, from the members of the
senate. Democrats and Republicans
signed it alike. The first signature was
that of Senator Dan Voorhees,. After
reading the dispatch the doctor said
laughingly: SLOWS this? Looks as
though you were turning Democrat,
SENATOR" He made no answer, but a
merry twinkle lit his eyes up for a
moment. He then noticed a hand
some basket of flowers that had
been sent to him and murmured show
beautiful" At that hour-about 9
O'clock-the senator's temperature was
100 and pulse 80. He was not suffering
much pain. At midnight there was no
change.

New YORK, April 12.-Dr. Hartley is
sued the following bulletin at 1880
o'clock this morning: ''Senator COnk-
ling's condition has changed slightly for
the worse. His temperature is one de-
gree more than it was at 9, p. M, when
it was 100 deg, and his pulse beats six
degrees faster to the minute than it did
at that hour, when it was 90" This IN

THE DEADLOCK.
A Democratic Caucus Decides on
Programme to Settle the Diff


A Democratic Caucus Decides on
Programme to Settle the Diff
Guilty.
WASHINGTON, April l1.-Although
the announcement OF the fact that a
Democratic caucus would be held to-
night was made when but few members
were in attendance, runners were sent
out to notify absentees, and about 125
Democratic members were present when
the caucus was called to order. A good
deal of apprehension has been felt lest
the call would not result in full meet
ing, and rumOrS were current that Mr..
Randall and other prominent Democrats
had declared against a caucus, but these
fears were allayed when that gentleman
put in an early appearance. The
proceedings ran smoothly, and no
bad feeling was developed. A
number of motions were proposed as
basis of compromise, the majority of
them looking 10 poStponement of the
tax bill to more or less distant date.
After many motions had been offered a
proposition was made by Mr.. O'Farrell,
of Virginia, representing what he said
was the extreme limit of the concessions
that would be made by the friends of
the bill. This proposition provided that
the direct tax bill should be postponed
until Dec. ID next with condition that
when it is then taken up, reasonable
time will be allowed for debate, and
vote taken Oh it. Speaker Carlisle is
said to have strongly advocated the ac-
ceptance of this proffered compromise.
Mr.. Holman made Il speech in which he
declared that the present proceedings
were of the most extraordinary charac-
ter ever witnessed in legislative body,
exhibiting the spectacle of a great
majority retreating before small mi
uOrity. He called on Mr.. Oates
TO STATE Ills POSITION
in the matter. Mr.. Oates replied that
he had come into the caucus with the
expectation of making some conces
siOnS. If he followed his own views he
would consent to no measure that did
not involve the absolute defeat of the
bill. But he was Democrat and if the
caucus decided against him, he would
abide by its decision and support it
with his vote. This declaration was re-
ceived with applause by the caucus.
Mr.. Oates added that he favored the
proposed poStpOnement of the tax bill,
but would regret to see the caucus agree
to the consideration that vote should
be taken upon it at fixed date. Much
debate followed, and the caucus finally
adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That on reassembling to-
morrow the house shall adjourn with
the understanding that the committee
on rules will report a special order set
ting apart Thursday, Dec. 6, 1888, inn
mediately after the reading of the
journal, for the consideration of senate
bill l39, to provide for a refunding of
the direct tax levied in 1861: in which
der, a reasonable time, not to exceed
rec days. viz, Thursday Saturday and
Asday, shall be allowed for debate

FIVE MEN KILLED.
Striking Workmen Kill Several
Men Who Take Their Places.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April ia tun-
mel is being built at Cumberland Gap
by the Powelfs Valley railroad. Last
Saturday 100 laborers struck for an in
crease in wages from S1.25 to S1.50 per
day. They notified the contractors and
the people for miles around that who
ever attempted to fill their places on the
job might expect to be killed.
The contractors hired new lot
of men and put them to work on
Monday morning. About noon large
force of strikers under the influence Of
whisky and armed with rifles and pistols
assaulted the workmen. They were also
well armed and the battle lasted for sew
eral minutes. Five men are reported
killed and more than dozen wounded,
some of them seriously. A courier has
arrived here with instructions to buy a
large supply of arms and ammunition,
as further trouble is expected. A row
occurred last Friday at the Kentucky
end of the tunnel between mountaineerS
and contractors, in which two men were
wounded. The sheriff of Claiborne
county has gone to the seat of war with
a large posse.
