Ticklish at Tacoma.

TACOMA, Wash, April 81 Consider
able apprehension has existed here in
regard to the industrial army move
ment. 1t was feared that the army
from Tacoma and Seattle, which will
center at Meeker Junction in few
days, would seize train and cause
trouble. Prompt action on the part Of
the federal authorities has done much
to dispel this fear. About fifty deputy
marshals have been sworn in by orders
from the circuit judge. Fourteen were
sent to Meekcr Junction and the rest
placed about the depot yards and at
the car shops. The federal authorities
announce that they can secure force
enough to prevent the army getting
out of the state with stolen train.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 2e.-The
Confederate Veterans association has
repudiated Mrs. jefferson Davis The
organization was formed chiefly for the
purpose of securing pension to the
widow of the president of the late con-
federacy. Thursday, at the closing
session of the Confederate Veterans re-
union, the delegates reported that they
did not feel called upon to concern
themselves about Mrs Davis. The orig
inal intention of the association was to
secure pension of $500 each from Vir-
ginia. North Carolina, Georgia and
Florida, by legislative enactment. The
committee reported that wherever they
went to urge the pension scheme they
were told that Mrs. Davis had eXpatri.
ated herself by living in New York,
and that if she preferred the north to
the south, they had no more interest in
her. The report was adopted, and here
after the name of Mrs. Jefferson Davis

New ORLEANS, La, April 2s.-Four
more of tSe Negroes who were con-
nccted with the murder of j. IL. Boyce,
in Madison parish last week, were cap
tured Thursday night by the sheriff 5
posse, and, as was expected, we're
lynchcd soon afterward. This affair
mas already resulted in nine deaths
Boyce, the white overseer, who was
Hrst killed, and eight Negroes, who
were killed in retaliation: Harris Will
liams shot, and Tom Claxton, Dave
Hawkins, Sam Slaughter, Shell Clax-
ton, Pomp Claxton, Scott Harvey and
Tony Mccoy, lynched. Of these the
frst three were lynched Sunday night,
and the other four Thursday night.
The killing of Boyce occurred last
Friday, and ever since then the posse
has been hunting for the Negroes who
were supposed to have had part in the
affair. The posse, which was composed
of 200 white men, half the total num-
ber in Madison parish, where the Ne.
gres are twelve to one white, split UP
into half dozen parties and secured
the entire country. The Negroes were
supposed to have taken refuge in the
triangular swamp between Milliken's
bend and Omega and the river. All
these points were watched, particular
ly the river, to prevent the Negroes
from escaping into Mississippi. Blood
hounds were obtained to track the men,
but the scent was cold.
After several days hunt the sheriff
dismissed most of his posse, but some
fifty men remained on duty. Thurs
day, however, the scent was taken ul
by the dogs, and it was evident thai
the pursued men had been cornered IL
Buckhorn woods, a comparatively small
body of swamp The sheriff called fol
reinforcements and 200 men responded
The gang were treed in a cabin be
tween the woods and river. They hat
made arrangements with Negro tt
take them across the river, and would
have succeeded in escaping to Missis
sippi if it had not been for the promp
action of the posse.

A CORRECTION.
The Tariff Compromise Has Not
Been Effected.
Senator Bricc Slightly Mistaken In Stat
ing That a Definite Agreement Had
Been Reached--MaJority of tho FL
nance Committee Meeting Daily.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Brice
seems to have been slightly carried
away by his enthusiasm when he went
SO far as to state Wednesday that def
mite agreement had been reached by
which the tariff bill was certainly as
sured of its passage by the senate, and
that the amendments by which enough
democratic votes for that end were to
be secured had been finally settled.
BY careful inquiries Thursday it
was learned that the negotiations
which have been in progress between
the managers of the bill and those
democrats who are opposed. to it have
reached such q stage that several hun
dred changes have been definitely pro.
posed in the schedules, and are under
consideration by the democratic
members of the finance committee.
The democratic majority of that COM
mittee held secret meeting behind
closed doors Thursday, at which some
of these conciliatory amendments were
discussed. These meetings will be held
from day to day until all of them have
been passed upon.
Senator Brice correctly described the
democratic programme in saying that
these amendments, when finally de.
termined, will be offered in the senate
as coming from the finance committee.
All of them have not yet, however,
been agreed upon.
Special efforts have been made to
conciliate Senators Smith, of New Jcr-
sey, and Murphy, of New York. Sena-
tor Smith said Thursday that some
concessions had been made to his de-
mand by the majority of the finance
committee, but not all that he was ask.
ing had been granted by anyo means.
He added that he is not yet satisfied
with the bill
