FORTIFIED OUTLAWS.
Kentucky Troops Fired Upon From Am
bush and Four Men Wounded.

LOUISVILLE, April ia deadly fight
occurred this morning at l 30 o'clock, sew
enteen miles east of Harlan Courthouse,
up in the Black Mountains, between de-
tail of State troops consisting of sixteen
prlvates, Lieutenant Milton and Sergeant
Pullian, and about thirty outlaws who were
fortified in an old barn. Five of the soldiers
were wounded. 1t is not known how many
OF the outlaws were killed, as they still
have possession Of the barn. Corporal
BSntln was sent in after re-inforcements
and knows but little, as he left Immediately
after the firing began. Troops have the
barn surrounded, and it will be impossible
for those on the inside to make their es-
cape.
Yesterday afternoon Captain Gather,
who Is commanding officer, WAS informed
that there was body of lawless men, some
of whom had been indicted for various
onenses, at the aforementioned locality,
and that they refused to surrender to the
authorities. He was asked for detail of
men for the purpose of arrestng them.
His men left camp yesterday afternoon,
expecting to find the men they were pur-
suing In private house about 600 yards
beyond the barn from which they were
fired upon.
The attack was not looked for at that
point, and 1t came so Unexpectedly that it
demoraliZed the soldiers for moment or
two, but they soon rallied, surrounded the
barn, and began firing into it from every
direction, when 1t was thought best to cease
action and hold the fort until reinforce
ments arrived with more ammunition. 1t
Is believed that severe fight Will take
place as soon as the additional troops reach
the place, for the outlaws are fortified and
well armed with Winchester rifles, and
swear that they will not surrender. The
soldiers are determined and want revenge
for those who have been shot down.

THE HOUSE.
Southern War Claim Bill Causes Dispute
Private Calendar.


WASHINGTON, April 1S.-In the House to-
day Enloe of Tennessee. rising to ques-
tlon of personal privilege, sent to the Clerks
desk and had read an article from the New
fork Press declaring that gigantic South
ern War Claim Bill had been introduced by
him. The article further states that Thomas
OF Wisconsin, Chairman of the Committee
on War Claims. had denounced the bill as
one OF the most infamous jobs which had
ever been foisted upon Congress.
Thomas said that he had not censured
any member of the committee. He stated
that if the bill passed the House 1t would
be Infamous, because he thought he could
prove that number of the claims in the
bill were the claims of persons notably dis
loyal.
Enloe said that the charge in the article
tnat he had brought the bill before the
House in surreptiti0us manner was a
falsehood made by correspondent. His
action in regard to the bill had always been
straightforward, and he denounced the
article as slander on the bill and the men,
bers OF the committee.
Thomas reiterated his statement that
number of the claims in the bill were those
0f dlsloyal persons and that a number of
them bad never been examined by the COM
mittee.
Butterworth moved that the House 90
into Committee of the Whole for the consid-
Grafton of the Legislative Appropriation
Bill, but the friends of the private calendar
mustered sufficient force to defeat the
motlon-ayes 112 noes 116.
Cannon submitted the disagreeing con-
ference report upon the National Zoo Bill.
The report having been agreed to, Can
non moved that the House insist upon its
amendment, which requires the District of
Columbia to bear half the burden Of eX-
penses of the maintenance of the park.
The motion was agreed tolls to 81.
Cannon presented a memorial of the In
diana Western yearly meeting of Friends
protesting against naval and coast defenses.
Referred.
henderson reported the River and Har-
Dor Appropriation Bill, but it was referred
to the Committee of the Whole. The
House then went into Committee of the
Whole, Allen of Michigan in the chair, on
the private calendar.
Thomas of Wisconsin offered a resoIu-
ton that the bill be reported to the House
with the recommendation.
1t will be recommitted, with instructions
to the Committee on War Claims to inquire
Into the loyalty of each claimant.

Money by False Pretenses-

broker Thomas j. Atkinson checks drawn
on the Union Trust Company to cover mar
gins amounting to $3400. Upon presenta-
tion of the checks by one of the firms clerks
they were found to be worthless. inssmuch
as Pulschew did not have the amount on
deposit to cover the checks.
The firm ascertained that PulSchew had
disposed OF $1,000 worth of stock through

Prices ReaIized-The Sale to BE Con-
tinued To-day.
Quite number Of pictures were sold at
the auction of the Gump collection last
night, the best price brought being for the
exterior of Hindoo mosque by the Amer
lean artist, Edwin Lord Weeks. This
picture, after some spirited bidding, was
knocked down for $1l00. The interior of
an Abraham mosque, by r. Weisse, in the
style of Gerome, went for Ss75. In all,
aside from the two mentioned, about dozen
pictures were disposed of, varying in price
from $50 to $500 each.
The sale realized Sl1 GOO, making t,,e total
to last night, $4,000. Yesterdays buyers
evidently appreciated the rare opportunity
to secure pictures from the famons studios
of Paris and Munich without having to
travel for them and bring the paintings
here at large expense. AS three days were
not sufficient to complete the sale satisfac-
torily, peremptory auction sale will be-
held to-day at 2:30 O'clock, in Irving Hall
when the remaining pictures will be sold.
