FAM TELLS HIS STORY.
He Relates His Experience at Aber-
deem to the Attorney General.

FAM the timer who has had fame thrust
upon him through his melancholy experience
at Aberdeen, Miss, on the occasion of
the hanging Of Secretary Proctor
in effigy, appeared before the At
torney General yesterday afternoon accom-
panied by Col. Rathbone, chief of the Post
Office inspection service, and made q state
ment Of the case as far as he was concerned,
Of which the purport was about as follows:
He was at work on a building early
IL the morning Of the 10th of
December, and in removing the canvas cover
ings united a rope attached to the sheathing,
thus, without any knowledge Of what he was
doing, letting down the effigy. Friends warned
him Of the threatening anger of the mob, and
at dinner time he was leaving the building
when a man named Mcdonald, who had always
been his friend. began to question him and
then struck him in the face with a
whip. He continued to beat him for
some time until he was tired and then refused
to let any Of the others touch him. acting as a
protector until FAM could get the money that
was due him from his employer and leave the
town for Memphis.
WHAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS.
The Attorney General said this NOR ming to a
STAB reporter that he had not determined what
course to take in the case. The man
Mcdonald, he remarked, had evidently been
animated by q peculiar feeling of chivaIry,
having been friend to FAM both before and
after the terrible beating he had given him. a
feeling that could be probably appreciated only
In the south.

MORGAN AND DORCHESTER.
Opposition to Confirming Them-Gen.
Morgan's Military Record Attacked.

The Senate yesterday took up in secret ses-
sion the nomination Of Thos. J. Morgan to be
Indian commissioner and debated it for an
hour and q half without coming to a vote.
The nomination Of DR.. Dorchester to be SUPER
intendent Of Indian schools was discussed Incl
dentally as DIR. Dorchester and Gen. Morgan
were associated in some of the charges made
against the latter.
Senator Jones of Arkansas took the floor first
and made long speech aimed at the military
record Of Gen. Morgan. 1t was charged before
the committee on Indian affairs that Gen. Nor
gan had been court-martialed ando dismissed
from the army and that he had nlaliciously
caused the court-martialing of q subordinate
officer for cowardice.
Senator Vest, who followed Senator Jones In
opposing the nomination, paid more attention
TO the charge that Commissioner Morgan and
Superintendent Dorchester had Disseminated
against Catholics in making removals and ap-
pointments. At the conclusion OF Mr.. Vests
remarks the Senate adjourned, with the UNDER
standing that the nomination will be taken up
today and probably disposed Of. 1t is con-
sidered likely now that both Commissioner
Morgan and Superintendent Dorchester will be
confirmed Senator Plumb, who was supposed
to be opposed to them, is absent from the city
aud 1t is said Senator Ingalls, will make NO dis
tinct opposition.

ment would, in large measure, dispel misap-
prehension which caused the present hostile
feeling Of the Portuguese public toward Eng
land. The relations existing between the
English and Portuguese governments, he said,
were Of the most friendly nature. Portugal
had suggested that the dispute be submitted to
arbitration, but England considered arbitration
inapplicable to the present controversy.
LORD sALIsBURY's EXPLANATION.
In the house Of lords this evening Lord Sails
bury in replying to an Interpolation regarding
the Anglo-Portuguese imbrogiio stated that on
the 2Sth Of last month he sent dispatch to
the Portuguese government informing it that
its subjects we're invading disputed territory in
South Africa, insulting the British flag and
killing England's allies, before asking for medi-
alton.
According to the provisions of the treaty Of
Berlin Lord Salisbury declared Portugal could
not claim mediation now. The war prepara-
tions that Portugal was now making, he added,
were explained by the tone of the Portuguese
correspOndence,
