negroes and white desperadoes. A
negro cabin was set on fire and the
occupants were deliberately shot
down as they ran half awake out of
the burning house. Five were
killed outright and one severely in
jured, while two were burned to

Washington, March S.-There are
many Republicans who do not want
to accept Randall as leader in the
work of revising the tariff and there
are more of them who do want to
vote for reduction of the whisky

split in their ranks as to the wisest
policy to pursue is quite AS pro
nounced as that in the Democratic
camp.
