In the Chamber of Deputies, charges against
NJ Lqguerre, NJ. Lsisant and M. TuIquet

the Patriotic Lssgue was a secret society.
Persecution aud violence, be said, would

Patriotic League is a secret society. Re-
fsrring to the fact that General Boulanger

COMMITTEE
The news Of the lyrching spread rapidly,
and hundreds Of peopie visited the scene of
the hanging during The day, some Of them
carrying away branches OF the tree Oh which
the negro paid the penalty of his heinous
crime. There was not a shadow OF doubt
az to bis guilt, and his own contradictory
statements about the crime would have con-
victed him. Captain McCready, vino was
oystering across the bay when his wife was
outrsged, returned homo Wednesday to lind
her completely prostrated ard almost crazy
with grief and bumi iation. Public senti-
ment strongly sustsins The lynchers, the on
~ regret being that the brute was not hung
before he cot into the hands of the Ulcers
Of the law No attempt will be made to in
vestigate the lynchpg. The coroner's jIry
rendered a verdict that the negro came 10
his death by hanging, at the hands of per.
sons unknown to the jury, and here the
matter will end The body was buried By
the authorities in the paupers graveyard.

are much excited over the shooting OF P. B.

sons go so far as to indulge in threats oil

Ho Tells Cameron and Quay THAT
Aae VIII Name Field for Post-
n.assss

WASHINGTON, April s.--senators Cameron
and Quay called on President Harrison to-
day to protest against the appointment of
John Field as postmaster of Philadelphia.
Ihey told the President that In local poll
ties Field was no better than Mugwump;
that he had again and again opposed the
Republican party and defeated Republican
candidates. HIS opposition, they said, had
been determined and at times bitter. Quay
said that he had personally sustained abuse
at Field's hands and Cameron said that his
political plans had been thwarted by Field.
They said that they would not insist upon
Leeds or any other candidate AS against
Field. Any good Republican would do.
They would rather have Harrity remain as
an out-and-out Democrat than to have
Fold put In. They notified the President
that II Field should be appointed he would
not be confirmed.
The President talked even more than the
senators. He told them pretty plainly that
ne did not propose to be dictated to In this
Or any other matter by senators oe repre-
sentattves. He proposed to do what he
thought right and best, regardless Of con.
sequences, always availing himself, Of
course, Of advice. ln this particular In.
stance he should take the advice OF the
postmaster-general. The post office In
question was in the postmas,e or. generals
own city, aud the latter was quite compa-
tent to pick out q good man for it-a first
class mau, such as wanted In Offices OF that
sort. He Understood that the postmaster
general had already done SO, aud that the
man picked out had, at this postmaster-
generals request, consented to serve. That
being the case. he thought he would have
to appoint him. II Ia believed that Field
Will be appointed very soon.
