ST. LOUIS, Mo. Dec. pa special
from Wahalak, Miss. says the condition
of the men wounded in the recent at
tempt to arrest the negro who brought on
the race troubles there is not so encour-
aging this morning. Frank Maury's
arm is very much swollen and infiamma-
ton and blood poisoning are feared. John
BOWS case is reported as hopeless, and
William Vaughan's wounds have COM
menced bleeding again. Fears are en-
tertdiued that the three will die.
New ORLEANS, La Dec. 20.-A spe-
cial. 10 the Picayune from Wahalek,
MIss., says: Runners came in about
; Ing q. report from the other band of
hearchers. They rode hard all
day and, covered: their territory
well but failed to find any negroes for
whom they were hunting. A negro wo-
man who was in the house during the
shooting Sunday night was seen
to-day sad told what she knew
$of the affair. .Het statement, however,
only confirmed the other accounts and
broughI 10 new facts. The guards who
had charge of the prisoners report that
they escaped last night, but they do not
think it worth while to attempt to find
them any more, and have asked that their
names be scratched from the list of
the spotted. - A note was received
to-day stating that several of the negroes
who were in Aaury's house during the
shooting Sunday night were making their
way to Meridian through the country
where they intended taking the train in
order to leave the country. This
information was telegraphed to
Meridian and all other points
near here where they might attempt to
board the train and if they attempted it
they would certainly be caught. This
seems to be the only chance to capture them
The searching party has been abandoned
and the riot is practically over, at least
for. the present, but woe to any of the
spotted should they ever be found in this
section of the country.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 90 THE action of
the Democratic senatorsl in agreeing to
vote on the tariff bill january 81, is
bitter disappointment to the house DEM
ocrats. They cannot, of Sourse, openly
criticize their senatorial friends, but it is
easy to see they do not relish their action
which binds them to vote ON the bill
whether ready or not JANUARY 81. The
difficulty lies in the fact that most of the
time will be taken up in the discussion of
one or two features of the bill, as the
hour for voting may arrive before matters
of greater Importance can be discussed
The proposition to agree to vote January
q was accepted by THE caucus
against the protest of THESE senators
upon whom the burden of the opposi-
ton TO the bill rests, but it is
not at all probable the Republicans
would have carried ont their til reat to sit
during the holidays as they Were only
blufing. But now both parties can enjoy
their Christmas festivities without feel
ing conscience stricken over tho failure
to make more rapid Roadway with the
tariff bill. They are at peace with each
other BETTING the character of the holt
day season.

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, Dec. 20.-Galves-
ton will not celebrate her semi centen-
NAL. The efforts have fallen through,
and the progressive association which in
augurated the scheme, has abandoned it.
This is not for proper lack of enterprise
upon the part of the association or the
citizens, all whom favored it but is due
to failure to secure an eligible location.
1t was determined to make it permanent
affair and at once proved series of at
fractions as would be creditable to the
city, profitable and instructive not only
to the people of Texas, but from abroad
as well. 1t was to be comprehensive in
its character, embracing the features of
an exposition fair with such outside at
fractions as a state, interstate
and national drill, racing, rowing
and other sports of a national character.
The means were pledged to carry out the
enterprise. Sixty or eighty acres were
to be secured. The committee appointed
to secure the location reported three
available sites. An effort was made to
purchase either of three sites, but the
parties owning same refused to sell.
Persistent efforts were made for two days
to induce the owners of other available
land 20 sell. They positively refused.
The project was then abandoned, and
Galveston will have no semi-centennial
or permanent exposition.
