Pea Ridge District.

NASHVILLE, Sept. General Dep
uty Collector Spurrier, of the United

has captured eight moonshiners in
the Pea Ridge district, near the Ken

been notorious for it's desperate moon
sinners, who defied the law and
threatened the officers. Several men
have been killed in this vicinity by
moonshiners, but within the past
year Mr.. Spurrier, with three or four
men, has paid particular attention to
this section and destroyed fifteen
stills.
Mr. Spurrier some time ago received
a message from several wild-catters,
informing him that their still was in
operation, and daring him to attempt
to capture 1t, saying he would be
warmly received if he ventured into
that district again. Mr., Spurrier
went there few days ago. He found
the still, cut it up and then called
upon the men at whose invitation he
had made the raid They were taken
by surprise and eight of
them captured. John Watson, Bill

SENATOR s1aERMAs's AmEsDMEN7
re Would Give Canadian Coal "a Free
Market.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-Senator
Sherman created g sensation in The
Senate this morning by giving notice
OF an amendment to the tariff bill
providing for free coal from Canada
onacondition that the latter snail
admit American coal free. In the
same connection he proposed that the
President be empowered to appoint a
commission to confer with the ana
dian authorities on the general sub
ject of reciprocity whenever the latter
Indicate disposition to take steps III
Il similar direction. Senator Sher-
mans proposed amendment is in har
mony with the Batterworth idea,
which is to encourage friendly COM
mercial relations with Canada on the
ground that such course will proba--
bly, be more profitable to the United
States than reciprocity with South
American countries.
nCongressional circles the Cana
dian proposition has many friends.
but it is thought that the majority
in the Senate will hot accept it. Sen
ator Aldrich, when spoken to on the
subject, said Mr.. Sherman submitted
his amendment upon his individual
responsibility, and it is hardly proba-
BILE that it will be adopted. MIR. Sher-
mans scheme supposed to be in the.
nature of an Offset to the Blaine-Ald
rich reciprocity project.
The reciprocity amendment to the
tariff bill reported front the financ'
committee was the subject of an in
teryiew between Senator Aldrich and
Mr.. Mendonco, the Brazilian envoy
on special mission TO the United
States. This amendment was report
ed after consultation of q general
nature with Major Mckinley, chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee, and other Republican leaders. In
the interview Mr.. Mendonea said that
the amendment as reported by Sena-
tor Aldrich was satisfactory to Brazil,
and that she would be one Of the first
countries to make concessions to the
United States in return for the re-
moval of duty on sugar.
Mr. Mendonca said his government
would not only remove the duty on
f"rm products exported from the
United States, but would admit free
United States agricultural nipple
ments and machinery and railroad
equipment and supplies, including
iron. Hrazil would also, he
said, make a reduction of at least 20
per cent. in the duty on cotton and
leather goods and clothing from the
United States.

IN WEST VIRGINIA.
A Hot Partisan Fight Raging in Kan-
awha County.


CHARLESTON, Sept. 2.-The most
bitter political fight ever waged in
West Virginia is now in progress in
this county between the Muller and
Dis factions of the Republican party.
The fight is really race war, as the
Muller people are white, while the
Dils people are most all colored, with
a few white leaders. The county
convention three weeks ago became a
mob, revolvers were flourished, a
dozen men were knocked down and
stabbed, and the police were finally
compelled to interfere. The same
night Muller was waylaid and shot
twice.
One week ago members of the Nut
Ter faction raided the State Tribune
office, beat Editor Reber senseless and
broke up the Office fixtures. Two
days later Muller and John S. Nc
Donald, custodian OF the Federal
building, met P. w. Russell, one of
the Oils leaders on the street, drew
theirrevolvers and fired on him. Rus
sell escaped without injury. Members
of both factions go armed and a
bloody fight is imminent at any time.
The county gave over 1000 majority
two years ago, but the Demo Gratis ex-
Dect to carry it now.
