TRACKING A MURDERER.
Watch and Pocket Book Taken from Lucebra
Marshs House Found Near Seymour.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

SEYMOUR. Ind. Jan. I-Late yesterday
afternoon Allen Carpenter found the watch
and pocket-book that were stolen from
Lucebra Marsh on New Years morn, at
Schafer's pond. north of the E. & r. rail-
roads half mile from town, and
returned them to Mrs. Marsh. The
money had been taken out and the
articles had been thrown away to prevent
identity in case of arrest. On Monday a
new discovery was made at the Marsh resi-
dence. The family had been selling milk
and kept some change in closet. The
thief had entered the closet and taken
what was there-ab out S1.5O The door of
this closet opens hard. and perhaps 1t was
this noise that finally awoke Mr.. Marsh.
Yesterday. at Columbus. James Shirley
stated that he was never in Seymour A
man snsweriue Shirley's description was
here last Thursday, and, in company with
another colorec man. was In Henry
Brunings saloon. The bartender, Aaron
Cox, said he would recognize the men
positively If he ever saw them again, and
went to Columbus this morning to see if
Shirley is one OF the men. DIR. l.. NJ. Mains
was at Columbus yesterday. and had Shir-
ley try on his plaster paris shoe. which ex-
actly fitted his foot when stamping his
weight on 1t. The other cast wasl taken

McGovern went to Columbus this morning
TO look further into the case.

Frank McGovern. who is well-known
hveryman here. has never denied that he
at one time owned the knife found cking
In Marsh's window the morning after the
murder. end which the colored witness,
William Mckee. testified to having sharp
ened for Mr.. McGoverp. The knife, how
ever. had long since passed out of his pos
session. and while It Is not known just who
was the possessor of it at the time Mr.
McGovern and his brother, who is a detect
I've, are doing their best TO locate the
present owner. The knife, as was said be-
fore. Is the most important clew turned up
thus far. and if 1t does not lead to the capt
urs OF the murderer. the police will have q
difficult time tracing him.

Four of Sheriff Dunns slayers Shot While
Trying 10 Escape TO No Mans Land.
ARKALoN. Kan, Jan. THE bloodshed
arising from the long-continued trouble in
southwestern Kansas is not yet ended.
Deputy sheriffs have partially avenged the
death Of Sheriff Dunn. It is not known to
be q positive fact. but il seems more
than likely that as q result of the
attempt Of the deputies TO bring
the slayers of the sheriff 10 justice and
force an expiation of the murder. four of
the outlaws were killed this afternoon.
The report. however. needs confirmation
before absolute reliance can be placed
facts:
A courier arrived here at noon from the
south line of the State. He reports run
ming conflict between the fleeing despera-
does and an armed posse of pursuers. Ac-
cordinG to his report there were two wag-
ons loaded with fifteen of the men partici-
pating IN the Canyon battle. They
had been encamped in gulch
south of Springfield. where they
were discovered. They saw their
pursuers at about the same moment, and
then commenced q life and death race. For
ten miles the two parties were not within
firing distance. but Just before dusk the
pursuing party came within less than
quarter of a mile of the despersdoes. and
then firing commenced. The running fight
was kept up on level plain for distance
of four miles. Following one fusillade men
were seen to tumble from their seats IN the
wagon, one in one and three in the other.
It could not be ascertained whether they
were killed OF wounded. The pursuing
party finding that their jaded horses would
not carry them further. made q detour of
some half q mile TO a ranch where they
procured fresh horses and the race was re-
sumed.
The courier started back from that point.
He says the pursuing party. numbering
fourteen men. would follow the despers-
does into No Mans Land. If necessary. and
bring them back dead or alive. Another
courier is hourly expected, and with him
news of q battle. in which one side or the
other will have sustained serious loss of
life.

ALL HAIL! MIGHTY HILLi
Democrats Tumble Over One Another In
Their Desire to Bow to q New Senator.

Democrats Tumble Over One Another In
Their Desire to Bow to q New Senator.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Jan. lit was made quite
clear to-day, in the induction of ex-Gov.
David B. Hill, of New York, into the Sem
ate, that he is at once to be accorded, with
Senator German, of Maryland, the leader
ship of the Democratic party, and that he
will cooperate with the latter in driving
nails into the political coffin of ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland. No man was ever
accorded more. and probably no one as
much, Difference by his party colleagues as
was gwen Mr.. Hill. The Democrats barred
their heads whenever he appeared in the
corridors of the Capitol. and were eager
to suspend their work whenever he ap-
preached them on the floor of the Senate,
and all paid him homage the entire day.
Senator Hill Is the Democratic lion OF
Washington now, and it is said that quite
all of the Democrats in Congress have
assured him of their wish that be shall be
their next presidential candidate. Ono
seldom hears Mr.. .Cleveland.e name men,
toned here now.
MIR. Hill was SWORD in shortly after the
opening of the Senate to-day, and was
given places on the committees on immi-
grafton. Territories. interstats commerce
remained in his seat for an hour after the
adjournment of the Senate to-day. He was
an object of interest to the people which
then had entrance to the hall, and was
much discussed and pointed at by the
knots of spectators who gathered in the
rear of the desks. He. occupied the seat
sformerly filed by Senator Hampton, of
South Carolina in the last row on the
Democratic side of the chamber Senator
Hill watched the short proceedings to-day
with much interest, and when Captain
Bassetts four bells signaled adjournment,
he remarked. jocularly. that the session
had been too short to admit of his distin-
gushing himself.
There are now ten Senators who have no.
titled the caucus committee of their ability
and willingness to serve on the appropria-
tions committee in the place formerly held
by Mr.. Plumb. Although Senator Perkins,
in view of his congressional experience, Is
likely to fare much better than Is usually
the case with new Senators in assignment
to committees it is not probable that he
can succeed to this much-coveted place, SO
that the caucus committee, unable TO fall
back upon the rule of succession, is in q
dilemma. One of its members said to- day
that the membership OF the appropria-
tions committee would probably be in
ing reached at the beginning of tho present
session that it would be allowed to shrink
to it's former membership of nine when q
vacancy ensued In the natural course of
events. If some such measure of relief 10
not afforded it is feared that the Western
al appropriation bills among the leading
committees of the Senate will carry their
point, through the aid of certain Senators
from the older States. who are disappointed
in their desire to get places on the all-power-
full appropriations committee.

Products of Countries without Reciprocity
Treaties Must Pay Duty After March 10.
WASHINGTON. Jan. Tin view of the
provision In the reciprocity section of the
tariff law of Oct. /, 1890, making it the
duty of the President, after Jan. /. 1892, to
suspend, by proclamation, the free admis-
sion of sugars. molasses, coffee, tea and
hides against such countries producing
these articles as after that date maintain
tariff duties upon American agricultural
and other products which he may deem un-
equal and unreasonable. the President sub
mitted to the Attorney-general the ques-
tion whether the law authorized him to
issue q proclamation fixing a future day
when the duties imposed by virtue of the
proclamation would take effect. The At
torney general has given an opinion that
the duties must attach and be collected on
and after the date of the proclamation, and
that future day cannot be named by the
President.
Owing to this decision and to the fact
that Justice to importers of the articles
named in Section 8 of the tariff law requires
that reasonable notice should be given of
the Presidents intended action, Secre tary

representatives In this city OF Austria

and Venezuela, informing them that on the
18th of March next the President would is
sue his proclamation, unless in the mean
time some satisfactory reciprocity arrange
ment should be made with the countries
named, declaring that. in view of the free
admission of the articles named In Section
of the tariff law. the products of those
countries, he deemed their tariffs
on the agricultural ard other prod
ucts of the United States to be recipro-
cally unequal and unreasonable, and
that as against the countries named he
would issue his proclamation March Is
next, suspendlng the PROVISIONS OF the
tariff law relating TO the free introduction
into the United States of sugars molasses.

ported from such countries, and on and
after that date the duties fixed in Section
would be imposed on these articles. The
