CAUSE OF THE RIOT.

Two Brutal Murders Charged to Engineer
Hawes Sought to BE Avenged.
BIRMINGHAM, Dec. 19.-Last Tuesday
the body of little girl was found in
East lake, near this city. The fact was
established that she had been murdered,
and Wednesday the body was identified
as that of May Hawes, the daughter Of
r. r. Hawes, a railroad engineer. Cir
cumstances pointed to the girls father
as her murderer, He was married i'm
Columbus, Miss, Wednesday evening
though supposed to have a wife here.
On his arrival here with his bride
that night he was arrested, chrrged
with murder. Then it was learned
that he had never been divorced
from his first wife and that she
had been missing since last Satur-
day as well as younger child. Search
for the woman's body commenced at
once, and soon additional circumstantial
evidence against Hawes was secured.
Saturday evening the body of his wife
was found at the bottom Of the lake
weighted down with iron. This caused
intense excitement throughout the city,
and that night fifty or more officers were
placed around the jail armed with Win
chester rifles, anticipating possible at
tempt to lynch Hawes. About IL o'clock
Saturday night about 1000 or 5000 men
gathered in the vicinity of the Jail max
ing threats. They were without organi-
zation or leaders. and after much parley-
ing with the mayor and Others who tried
to get them to go away the
crowds finally reached the end Of a
narrow alleyway leading to the Jail
doors. Then the officers warned them
to stand back or they would be fired on.
After repeated warnings they would not
stand back, and Sheriff Smith ordered
the officers to fire. One volley was fired
and twenty-three men fell killed or
wounded. Three men were Instantly
killed, seven have since died, and ten
others are badly wounded. The mob
then hurriedly escaped, vowing venge-
ance.

He Says the Mob Fired the First and Last
shots In the Array. ~
Sheriff Smith says: "We begged and
pleaded with the crowd to keep back and
then they fired the first shots. Several
shots were fired 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 on. We begged
them to go back time and again. and
again warned them we would shoot, but
they would not listen to us. They came
half way up the alley close to the Jail
door and were shouting Blow up the
Jail with dynamite. Alter all this, and
after they opened fire, gave the order
to fire. They continued firing after we
ceased. ! feel that we could not have
done anything else under the circum-
stances, and deeply regret the neces-
sity." The chief of police made a SINH
lar statement.

evening. there being about / 10 members
present. Mr.. McCreary, of Kentucky,

Mr.. Cox favored the admission of the
territories except Utah, and New Mexico.
IL the caucus oyerruled him he would
yield gracefully. Washington. Montana
and Idaho should be given enabling acts
at once. The great territory of Dakota
should be divided, and the Democrats
should secure the prestige which would
certainly come to them from the favor
able action of their caucus. No other
questions were discussed in the caucus

WITOHuT SIOUX CONSENT.

The Opening Of the sioux Reservation
Again before Congress
WASHINGTON, Dec. delegate Gif
ford introduced hili amendatory Of the
law providing for the division of the
the great Sioux reservation In Dakota
and for the REIMBURSEMENT Of the Indian
title to the remainder. That law was
enacted at the last session of congress.
The commission appointed under it to
treat with the lndiSns failed to reach a
satisfactory agreement as to the pro-
posed division. The bill introduced
amends the law as follows: The reser-
vation is to he opened without the con-
sent of the Indians. while the La passed
last session required such consent. The
sum of $4,000. 600 is to be deposited to
the credit of the Indians, instead of the
81 ,000, 900 provided for last session. The
lands thrown open TO settlement are to
be paid for at the following rates: On
lands entered for settlement during the
first two years after the opening of the
reservation, 81 per acre: all lands taken
during the next two years, I3 cents per
acre. and so cents per acre for the resi-
due undisposed of at that time.
Senator Dawes, while not entirely
committing himself, says enough to
warrant the positive assertion that he
will not adhere to his former demand
that the consent of the Indians shall be
obtained
