THE TARIFF ON COAL.

Washington, D. c., June 2S.-
There was large gathering
of Republican Senators at the
meeting of the Senate Finance commit
tee at the Arlington Hotel tonight. Most
of the time was spent in discussing the
rates to be imposed on coal, and on the
to fix them so a reciprocal
may be arrived at with the
Dominion of Canada. No formal con-
clusion was reached, the committee de-
ferring final action until the meeting to-
morrow morning. Strong arguments were
advanced by some of those present in
favor of a rate of 40 cents per ton on
coal, the statement being made that the
western coal fields should find a market
in Canada for an additional million tons
per year, this statement being based
ON reports that the new Liberal minis
try of the Dominion would reduce the
duty on imports of American coal to a
similar amount and enter into reciprocal
with the United States. At
ter the meeting one member of the COM
mittee advanced the opinion that the
rate to be finally fixed would be 671b
cents per ton, but that there would be no
provision for a reciprocal agreement

FOUR BANK DESPERADOS
CASHIER HESITATES TO YIELD AND HIS
EAR is CLIPPED OFF
Then Comes Pretty Fight With a Posse,
With One Man Overhaued--
Rest at Bay,

Omaha, Neb., June 2S-A special to
the Bee from Deadwood, S. D., says:
-Four masked men this morning made a
desperate attempt to rob the Butte county
bank at Bellefourche. Entering the bank
with revolvers drawn they ordered the
customers present and bank officials to
hold up their haids. A little hesitancy
on the part of Cashier Marble drew a
shot from the gun of one of the rob-
bers, which clipped off a large portion
of the cashiers right ear and forced
compliance with the command The safe
and counters were relieved of the cash
they contained and the robbers mounting
y stationed, rode away.
An alarm was Immediately given and
in few minutes a well-mounted and
armed posse was in pursuit of the rob
bers. Within few miles from town
the posse came UP with the fugitives and
a running fight ensued, which resulted
in one of the robbers throwing up his
hands and surrendering. The others be-
ing better mounted, continued their flight,
but are being closely pursued and have
very few chances for escape. The day
was favorable for Il raid on the bank,
as the weather was such that it kept the
townspeople off the street. The robbers
had little opposition and had quite a
start before the alarm could be given.
As the party started away after the
assault ON the bank, an unusual display
of fire arms on their part attracted the
attention of A. Giles, a merchant, who
surmised that something was wrong, and
gave an alarm. Giles was made the tar
get for yolley from the robbers pistols,
but escaped uninjured. Pursuit was
prompt, the bandits having barely time
to unhitch their horses and mount before
being surrounded. In the fight that fol
lowed Walter Gay, of Gay & Sons, was
shot through the cheek, receiving a pain
full wound. The outlaws fired right and
left while riding out of the town, but
no one else was wounded. Thomas Day,
the captured robber, was over-hauled
half mile from town, and is now in
Jail at Deadwood. He is a stranger in
the vincinity. The rest of the gang
are now at bay at the Three ranch, a
few miles from Be,lefourche, where they
will likely be captured or killed. 1t trans
pires that less than SO was taken from
the bank, the cashier, Arthur Marble,
having slammed shut and locked the
doors of the vault at the entrance of the
robbers. He was fired at three times,
only one shot taking effect. He tried
| to return the fire but his pistol failed

REEDS SURRENDER
The Gar Now Decides to
Appoint Committees.
HE COMES DOWN HARD
TO IGNORE POPULIST DEMAND
FOR RECOGNITION.
He WILL CONFER WITH Mr.. BAILEY
Pretends to Have Waited in Order to Become
Acquainted With Members, But Has Heard
the Country Speak--0d Chair
men Will Remain.

Washington, D. c., June 2S.-Speaker
Reed said to-day that he had the matter
of the appointment of the committees
under consideration and that unless
something now unforeseen occurred to
change his present inclination he would
prepare the list and submit it prior to
the final adjournment. The Speaker has
had ample opportunity during the extra
session for ascertaining the wishes and
the qualifications of members for commit
tee assignments, and, although the actual
work of preparing the committee lists
has not been begun, the task will prob
ably be rendered easier than usual by the
fact that most of the chairmen of the
important committees in the last House
are members of the present House ;,nd
the Speaker has now personal acquaint-
ance with all the new members.
One of the interesting things in con-
nection with the appointment of the COM
mittees is the disposition to be made Of
the twenty-one Populists. In a written
communication to the Speaker early in
the session they demanded recognition
on the committees as a separate party.
Heretofore they have not been recog-
nized Neither Speaker Reed nor the late
Speaker Crisp recognized the party of
which they are members as entitled to
separate recognition and their assign
ments as a rule were confined to unim-
portant committees. None Of the big
committees, like Ways and Means, Ap-
preparations, Foreign Affairs or Judiciary
has had Populist member. The Demo
Gratis will protest if the PopuliSts are
given representation at their expense.
1t is not considered at all likely that
Speaker Reed will see fit to change his
policy regarding the Populists. When
Mr.. Reed comes to make up his lists he
will doubtless confer with Mr.. Bailey, of
Texas, who was selected as the candidate
for Speaker by the Democratic caucus.
There is no intimation of any change in
the Craftsmanship of the principal commit
tees. Where the old chairmen are mem
bers of the present House they will
doubtless, with possibly an exception or
two, be reappointed.

A CRY FOR FOOD.
Florida Hurricane Sufferers Send Out a
Startling Request for Help.

Jacksonville, Fla, June 2S.-Urgent
appeals for aid are coming in afresh from
that part of Alachua county which was
devasted by the great hurricane of Sep
tember 20.
The destitutOn appears to be greater
than at any time since the catastrophe.
Alachua county is situated in the center
of the peninsula, midway between Jack
sonville and Cedar Keys. A request for
help has been received from citizens of
Trenton, in which the following state
ments are made:
''While we most gratefully acknowledge
the generous assistance received directly
after our prosperous county was almost
devastated, still the pitiful condition Of
our people inspires this earnest appeal for
help at this season.
'Many families within our borders are
upon the very verge of starvation-are
now subsisting upon dry bread, with not
even the hope of getting this sort of food
when the present scanty supply is ex-
hausted.
''The distressing cry for food is heard
in almost every quarter, and unless some
speedy relief is secured, great suffering
will be the result.
''While other aid is greatly needed, still
we shall only solicit the means upon
which life can subsist."

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Rockingham, N. c., June 2S.-(SpeciaD
What might have been and doubtless
would have been fearful wreck was
narrowly averted one mile north of Rock
ingham at $50 o'clock this morning.
The s. A. l.. Atlanta Special, south
bound left Hamlet on time and was
speeding towards Rockingham at lively
clip when, a mile and half below Rock
ingham, the two front wheels of the rear
truck under the tender went off the
rails. One of the wheels plowed fur
row in the centre of the track for nearly
half mile while the other displaced
wheel tore away the ends Of cross-ties
for the same distance. The wonder iS
that no other part of the train left the
track, and the greater wonder is that
these wheels tore up cross-ties for such
a distance without even disturbing pas
senger and without even the trainmen's
knowledge as to the frightful condition.

eral other passengers, and no one knew
Of the trouble until the train was stopped.

WEYLER'S WARCLOUD
Makes a Stiff Speech at San
tiago De Cuba.
BRINGS PEACE OR WAR
IF WAR, BEHIND ME- COME FOR
TY BATTALIONS.
IF PEACE, WE WILL RETURN TO THE LAW
The Port and Shipping ProfuseIy Decorated in
His onor--RigorOus War Against Rebels"
Who Refuse CIemency--Has De-
manded 1O,O More Troops.

Havana, June 28.-Captain General
Weyler, after a stormy passage on a
coasting steamer from Manzanillo, ar
rived at Santiago de Cuba yesterday af-
ternoon. The steamer was met by a num-
Der of tugs having on board the munich
pal authorities, provincial authorities and
General Linares, the military commander
of the district. The port and shipping
were profusely decorated in honor of the
Captain General, and he was cheered
by large numbers of people who lined
the routes from the wharf to the cathe-
dral and thence to the palace in spite of
the fact that rain was falling heavily. At
the palace the Captain General received
all the local. civil and military authori-
ties.
Addressing the local authorities last
evening in the palace o. SANTIAGO de
Cuba, Captain General Weyler said he
remembered with pleasure that region
where he had engaged in campaign
during the previous war in Cuba. Con-
tinuing, he explained that he was coming
to pacify that part of the island and that
though he was strongly desirous of
peace, his system of making war was to
be rigorous toward the 'rebels" who re-
fuse to accept the clemency which Spain
through him offered them. The
General added Notwithstanding the
examples in rigor set by other colonial
nations, l attended to the re-construc-
ton of the wealth of the island. This
was the purpose which inspired my last
DEGREES, and l propose to continue this
policy although / have been compelled
in some instances to countenance destruc-
tion, owing to the fact that circumstances
have made it necessary in some cases to
destroy the resources of the rebels"
The Captain General then referred to
the sincerity of the Spanish government
in its desire to introduce reforms in
Cuba, concluding with the remark: II
come to bring peace or war. If the for
mer is accepted we will then return to the
law. Bu if the latter is desired, behind
me come forty battalions of troops"
AT 8 o'clock last evening Governor
Ordax banquetted the Captain General
Much enthusiasm is said to have been
manifested by the people.
WEYLER RESOLVED TO CONQUER
Chicago, ILL.,, June 2S.-A special to the
Chronicle from Jacksonville, Fla, says:
"Weyler, while at Crienfuegos, made a
request for 10000 colonial volunteers
with the intention of starting an active
campaign. He has also demanded from
Spain 10000 additional troops to reach
Cuba by Sept. /. The rainy season will
be drawing to close at this time and
this goes to prove the assertion that he
will make the effort of his life to con-
quer the insurgents. The announcement
that Gomez would begin active opera
tions has been verified. --.

MYSTERY OF THE MORGUE
BODY FOUND IN SECTIONS IN RIVER AND
NEAR HARLEM.
New York Papers Offer $i,500 For Solution.
Thought to Have Been Work of
CIrnaon
Surgeon.

New York, June 2S.-The mutilated
body that was found in two sections,
one in East river on Saturday, the other
in the northern part of this city on Sun
day, has not been identified. A number
of persons have visited the morgue to-
day, thinking they might recognize the
body as that of a missing friend, or rela-
tive, but none could identify the body.
One evening paper has offered $1,000
and another $500 for a solution of the
mystery.
lCoroner's physician O'Hanlan made
another examination of the body this
afternoon. Afterward he said that who
ever had cut up the body, while he might
not have been a surgeon, must have
known something of the human anatomy,
as he had cut the body in parts where
saw and knife would meet with least re-
sistance. In the case of the legs the
cuts had been made slanting instead of
directly across. This was the easiest
way to make the cuts. But the physician
admitted that the cutter may have struck
the easiest and simplest way to do his
horrible work by mere accident. Still,
he did not think that possible, and
thought that even a butcher accustomed
to the killing and cutting up of animals
could not have done the work so well
as it has been done. 1t was said by a
physician to-day that the parts of the
body had been boiled. This DR.. O'Han-
Ian does not believe. The peculiar APP
pearance of the fragments found in the
upper par of the city was due to its lying
in the sun before being wrapped, he
thinks

British Empire was created. For the oc-

present sorrows and griefs, in order to
join the exultation of the Empire. The
result was beyond expectation.
The Queen thinks, so the statement
runs, that she has done enough. The un-
eXampled devotion and acceptance of her
obligations to her people have after sixty
years well won her rest and, in so far as
the sovereign can, she now proposes to
let the burden of responsibility fall ON
those who must bear it when she passes

A DERRICK TRAGEDY.
Three Men Precipitated From the Ninth
Story of an Atlanta Building to
Have Been a Plot.

Atlanta, Ga, June 2S.-A derrick on
the roof of new building fell at l
o'clock this afternoon, knocking three
workmen from a scaffolding on the ninth
story. Two of them were dashed to in
slant death on the ground, 125 feet be-
low, and the third was saved in mira
culous way. The killed are:
Palmetto Ayres, colored, aged 40, liv-
ing at Austeli.
Charles Kargil, colored, aged 50, of this
city.
w. M. Brown, white, carpenter, was
cut about the head and arms. The men
were standing on a platform which skirts
the edge of the ninth floor, when the der
rick fell, the part of the scaffolding upon
which they stood was swept away anc
the men were thrown into space. Brown
grasped one of the derrick ropes as he
shot through the air. AS the boom of the
hoisting engine fell, the ropes on the
tackle were set in motion, one going up
and the other down. 1t was Browns
good fortune to catch the rope being
drawn upward and he was hauled safely
to the roof.
To another boom of the derrick project
ing out on the other side Of the building
was attached a car in which four men
were standing. This boom likewise fell
but was held up by the roof. The car
was dashed over the side of the building
and swung there in safety. The men
were showed through a window, none OF
them being injured.
Mr.. Cannon, superintendent of der
ricks. was seen and said:
"The killing of these men was no acci-
dent. 1t was, in my opinion, a plot on
the part of some one at work on this
building that the derrick should fall.
"In the first place." continued Mr..
Cannon, "the clips which held the guy
ropes in place have never been known
to slip except in this particular case. I
have examined the clips and find that
they are quite loose.
"Then these clips would not be in such
condition unless they had been tamper-
ed with and for that reason it was the
intent Of some one in this building that
the derrick should fall.
"In the second place, these derricks
are capable of raising five tons, and we
had only two and half tons on them
when they fell. The clips would never
have slipped unless they had been tamper-
ed with"
