men for Protection On That Product.

lumber will not be disturbed by the
present congress. Representatives Lynch
and Miller, Of Wisconsin, who represent
the two largest lumber districts in the
country, are authority for this state
ment. They have been before the ways
and means committee and claim to

There are in the hands OF the commit
tee several bills and Castles joint
resolution aiming especially to
remove the duty from lumber.
The Southern lumber districts
were represented in the recent lumber
mems convention, and are now bringing
strong pressure upon their congress-
men to vote against the free lumber
measures. 1t is the South rather than
the Northwest that is making the fight
for protection on lumber. The ways
and means committee admit that free
lumber bill would not pass the senate,

The distance was covered by daylight
and the commanding officer and Sheriff
Angus held consultation. The sher-
iff reported that he had ordered the
men to surrender but they had refused
and had opened fire on his men.
Colonel Van Horne found that the
rustlers, small stockmen and the sher-
iff's posse had completely surrounded
the ranch and cnt of all means Of es-
cape, so that the stockmsn's forces were
entirely entrapped. However. the mil
itary had no trouble in
Inducing the steskman to Surrender.
The only provision that was exacted
was that they should be taken to Fort
Mckinney and not be allowed to fall
into the hands of Angus or his men or
the rustlers. To this Colonel Van
Horne consented and under the protec-
tion Of the cavalry the stockmen's forces,
consisting Of sixty-five men, quickly
saddled and bridled their horses and
rode to Fort Mckinney, where they are
now confined under guard. The sher.

ABERDEEN, Miss, April 15.-- The
water IN the Tombigbee river is subsid-
ing. leaving q black desolate waste.
Late reports which have reached here
indicate that the loss by the food will
be greater than at first estimated. From
the most reliable information to be OBJ
tanned from the flooded district it is
known that the number Of lives lost
will reach $50, while all vestige Of
household property has been swept
away BY the raging torrent. Relief
parties have Bsen sent out and more
than 100 bodies have already been re-
covered. Thousands Of people are rem
dered Homeless and the suffering is in
tense. a relief party has rescued q
family OF nine persons who had been
adrift on raft for six day without q
mouthful of food.
They Were Insane from Hunger
and went wild over the sight of food.
One of the party, lad of IA years, had
become o gibbering idiot and devoured
raw beef like wild beast. A colored
woman and her infant was found float
ing on mattress. They had been
without food for three days and the
babe - SO enaciated that 1t will die.
Her family of eight children were all
drowned. The loss of property Is so
great that it cannot be accurately es-
tinated at present. Thousands of, head
OF cattle have perished and the swamps
are strewn with carcasses. The coun-
try In the fooeed district is fiat and de-
void Of bills, thus giving no refuge ex-
cept tree tors to panic stricken negroes
when the water came rushing down
upon them. It will be several days be-
fore anything like a correct estimate Of
the damage can be obtained.
