A Man

Thomas Birch was drowned in Oldman's
creek neal Pedricktown on Sunday. Birch
was an Englishman, having come to this
country about a year ago, securing en-
ployment with James McAllister, Jr., near
Sharptown, where he stayed until Mr..
McAllister's death. He then entered the
employ of a Mr.. Hunt, near Pedricktown,
and on Sunday went to the creek to fish
with a line, since which nothing has been
seen of him. A search was made along
the creek and his line was found fastened,
and the general supposition is that in at
tempting to free his line he lost his bal
ance and fell into the water. Birch was
about 80 years of age. and is said to have
a wife and three children in England.

should, considering the number present.

across the yard of Edward S~nelbaker, then
up to the scene, jumped over and rescued
both children. This was a heroic act and
great credit is due Green for his bravery.

SITTING BULLS DEATH.

The Event Announced to the Indians in
Council at Pine Ridge Agency-The News
Received Quietly and Its Justice Ac-
Guiesced In.
CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-General Brook
yesterday telegraphed from Pine Ridge
Agency to Assistant Adjutant General
Corbin that he had purposely announced
to the Indians in council the death of
Sitting Bull, giving them the facts in
detail. Withholding nothing. This the
General did that he might note the
effect Of the startling information upon
them. The Indians received the news
quietly. They all recognized the JUS
tice of Sitting Bulls death. and said it
was good thing that he had thus met
his fate.
Concerning the death of Sitting Bull,
Colonel Corbin said: 1T was not a
murder or any thing like it. General
Miles dispatch some days ago showed
conclusively that he had ordered the ar
rest of Sitting Bull just in the nick OF
time. Another hour and he would
have decamped to the Bad Lands with
his hostile followers. His death was
bnt a result of the conflict between tho
troops and his braves"

drawn the spikes and tied a telegraph
wire to the rail with which he drew it
from its position and caused the wreck.

THE SUGAR TARIFF.

The Views of Henry A. Brown, of Mass
achusetts, the Noted Sugar Tariff Ex-
pert on the Probable Results of the
Decreased Duty and the Bounty Pro-
vided for in the Mckinley Tariff Law.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Henry A..
Brown, of Massachusetts,, the noted
sugar tariff expert has been in Wash
ington for several days comforting with
leading officials and members of Con-
gress about the great cut in the duty on
sugar. to go into effect next April under
the new Tariff law, and it's effects on
the revenues of the country Mr..
Brown insists that the loss of rev.
enue from making sugar almost duty
free, together with the bounty to be
paid to sugar producers in this country,
will amount to $40, 900, 600 year He
is clearly of the opinion that it will be
found advisable and that it will be tho
duty of Congress to restore fully three
fourths of the present or old duty on
sugar and discontinue or repeal
the bounty feature of the new
law. He has no doubt that
the rapid increase in production
of sugar in this country will very soon
cheaper permanently the price of that
article to American consumers, and that
sustained duty on sugar would be a
powerful factor in treating with sugar
producing countries for reciprocity.
Mr.. Brown says his opinion and views
on this matter are shared by leading
Republicans in and out of Congress, con-
versant with the subject. who are not
unrnindful of the demands that are like
ly to be made upon the Treasury to
meet the largely-increasd Government
expenditures for pensions, the new
navy, etc, in the near future. More
money will have to be raised somehow
to meet this increased Government ex-
penditure, and it need not be looked for,
he says, from customs revenues IL view
of the reduction of tariff taxes on many
articles and the extended free list found
in the McKinley law.

HUNTSVILLE. ALA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 81 1890
The President will give Congress dis

The President will give Congress dis
tlnctly to understand that, in the pres
ent state of the matter, he perceives
neither authority nor reason to abstain
next season from literal enforcement
OF the provisions of the law for the pro-
lection of the fur seal in Alaska, and the
waters thereof He will ask Congress
for liberal appropriation to meet the
expense of fitting out vessels to serve
as revenue vessels in sufficient
number and character to capture and
disperse the numerous marauding
vessels expected to enter Behring
sea next June and July. If Congress
grants an appropriation for the enforce
ment of the sealing law in the Behring
sea, the President will accept such ac-
ton as a pledge of resistance to the ut
termost if Lord Salisbury should so far
force the issue. If no appropriation is
granted or if the debate shows a con-
trolling indisposition to proceed to a
war on the seal question the revenue
vessels will be instructed simply to warn
foreign sealing vessels next season, but
not to lay hands upon them. And in
that case the President will feel it in
cumbent on him to facilitate the re-
sumption of negotiations for the purpose
of ascertaining the best terms of set
tlement that can be extorted from the
British in a desire for termination of
the controversy. Personally the Presi
dent believes in fighting the matter to
an end next season; but the gravity Of
the possible consequences forbids him
to commit the Government to an irrev-
ocable course without first obtaining
the opinion and sanction of Congress.
