LYN0HING PARTY IN NEW YORK
Rosendale Miners Looking for the
Negro AssaIIant of White Girl.

KINGSTON, N. Y, Aug. 27, 1S97.-For
committing a heinous assault on the per-
son of little six year old girl at Hickory
Bush in the town of Rosendale. this
morning. Joseph Depew, negro, is being
pursued by scores or infuriated miners
through the surrounding woods and
fields, and so angered are the people that
if Depew is caught summary vengeance
may be wreaked upon him.
This morning, two little daughters of
Michael Doody of Hickory Bush were
wandering about among the hills back of
the village in search of berries. There
they were found by Depew. who seems
at once TO have entered upon the execu-
ton of his hideous design. which was at
first directed to the older girl. In the
pursuit, the girl escaped, but her younger
sister, only six vars old, fell victim TO
the black BRUTE after which he escaped.
The child's throat bore marks of De-
pews fingers when she was found and
cared for, and it is feared that her in
iuries may turn out TO be serious.
The crime was committed about ten
o'clock this morning, and as soon as
news of it was received in the village
the greatest excitement prevailed, and
hundreds of men at ence started out to
scour the country in search OF DepeW,
the Lawrence Cement Company, the
works of which are at Hickory Bush, at
once sending out a large force of men
under the direction of the local superin-
tendent. The negro will be lynched II
caught before the anger OF the people
cools. Depew has lived in the neighbor-
hood for some time and was employed on
q horse railroad.

The Alleged GyPsY Kidnappers Dis
charged I'm Court.

NEW YORK, Aug. q. 1se7.-The alleged
kidnappers of ffteen-year-old Ernest
MADAM, of South Braintree, Mass, were
discharged from custody by Magistrate
Crane this morning. After hearing the
evidence il the case the Magistrate de-
cided that the prisoners, James Varye and
wife. had not kidnapped the boy but were
really his preservers.
The boy was given to the care of the
Gerry Society. who will communicate with
his parents with view of having him re-
turn to his home.
The boy ran away from the State Pri-
mary School at Palmer, Mass, several
months ago and started for New York to
see the city. On his way he met the
vareys who are wandering Gypsies, and
they have since taken care of him.
The party came to New York city where
the boys presence with the Gypsies
caused the suspicion that he had been
kidnapped.
The Magistrate. while satisfied that
there had been nothing criminal in the
actions of the vareys, decides that the lad
should be taken from them and placed in
charge of the Gerry Society.

4 CONFERENCE crime
Senator ChandIer's Plain Talk
on the Ten Per Cent. Clause
of the Tariff Bill.

BOSTON, Aug. 27, 1S97.-In letter to
the Herald" published this morning,
Senator William E. Chandler explains the
introduction of the clause of the new
tariff law imposing a 10 per cent extra
duty on all foreign products coming
through Canada to the United states.
Senator Chandler holds that the legisla-
ton was passed by what is known as a
trick of legislation; that is. by writing 1t
as new matter into conference report,
where it was adopted by both Houses OF
Congress without being noticed by more
than these persons engaged in the scheme.
The Senator points out the fact that
the Conference Committee went beyond
their powers when they inserted this
elaborate trick into clause of the law
about only five words of which the Senate
and House had disagreed.
The trick so much affects New England
trade, Senator Chandler says, that each
one of her Senators and Representatives
may be finally called upon to state what,
if anything, he knows about it, and why
he did not expose and try to defeat it.
Continuing, Senator Chandler says
For myself, regret to say that did not
notice what the conferees had done. SEN
ator Cannon had in open Senate asked
whether they intended. to do anything
but settle differences between the two
Houses-whether they intended to put any
new matter into the bill-and Senator Al
lison had replied emphatically that OF
course they did not. Yet the provision
was inserted and as no attention was
called to it In the report it was passed
without being noticed. Having had ex-
perience with conference reports, which
should have warned me to read every
word. of this report, have no excuse to
offer for not doing SO. hope to be for
given by my constituents, but / shall
never forgive myself

ATHENS. Aug. 27, 1ss7.-The Powers
have asked Greece to state the amount
she is able to pay as a first installment of
the Turkish indemnity and to mention the
revenues she can assign to guarantee the
whole amount.
The Marquis of Salisbury, as announced
in cable despatch to the Associated

made a fresh and important proposal re-
garding the payment of the Greek indem-
nifty to Turkey. The British Premier
suggests that Great Britain, France and

the indemnity loan and that they control
the Greek revenues which may be set
apart for the purpose of meeting this
obligation. In conclusion, the Premier
invites the other powers to participate in
the guarantee If they choose to do so.
