Peace Once More Restored.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Dec. 13.-The coro-
ner's jury to-day began investigating the
shooting at the county Jail on Saturday
night last. Mayor Thompson was the
only witness examined. He testified that
the crowd continued to advance on the
Jail after repeated warning had been given
by himself and sheriff and many others.
The crowd made threats and he believed
they were in earnest He heard consider
able talk of using dynamite and could not
say whether the first shot was fired by the
officers or by the crowd. He had given
orders to hold the Jail at all hazards. Did
not call out the military because he be-
lieved the civil authorities could hold the
Jail and he was opposed to the use of mill
tary only as the last resort. Mayor Thomp-
son said he intended to bring the force Of
officers out of the Jail and make an attempt
tO drive the crowd back from the alleyway
leading to the entrance, but got cut off from
the Jail and could not get back. The in
yestigatiOn will be resumed tomorrow.
The troops left the city and only small
force Of deputy sheriffs are now guarding
the Jail. All is quiet.

He referred to the decrease in the conser-

congratulated the liberals upon the fact
that the result showed the cause was ad-
vancing. Referring to the withdrawal of
Lord Harrington and 13O other discordent
liberals from the national liberal club he
described the discordants as officers with
out an army and as clergymen without
church. He condemned Lord Salisbury's
reference to Hon. Dadabhai Navraji as a
black man, as needlessly giving pain to
millions OF his fellow men and protested
against the attempt to conquer Soudan as
venture as hopeless as the attempt to

learn the democratic members were dis
posed to proceed in this matter as the re-
publican members will cooperate with
them cheerfully in needing the territories.
He denies there will be any attempt on the
part of republicans to postpone the con-
sideration of this subject until the next
congress. THERE'S nothing to be gained
by either parties by postponement and the
sooner the matter is disposed of the better
1t will be for all concerned. Representative
S. 5. Cox, chairman Of the democratic eau
Gus, says the territorial bill will be called
up just as soon as the committee on rules
appoint day for that purpose. Should
the committee hesitate about selecting q
day the rules may be suspended and the
bills considered without waiting for the
committee on rules. He says he has been
hard at work trying to induce some of his
associates to consent to the division of Da-
kota. He finally succeeded and he is dis
posed to proceed to the consideration of
the bills in question without delay.
