Remingtons and if you want any of these
bicycles at very moderate price, strictly
for cash, call at Lattimores' and you will

one will ever beat our cash prices on

CAUCUS ON THE TARIFF.
Republican Senators 10 Try to Set
tie Their Differences

Republican Senators TO Try to Set
tie Their Differences.
Washington. June IA caucus of re-
publican senators has been called for to-
morrow evening to consider as many
items in the tariff bill that have been
passed over as can be taken up. The
question liable to excite most attention is
the form of the reciprocity provision
which the Senate shall place in the bill.
Several of the senators have prepared
amendments on this subject, and it is I'M
derstood that ex-senator Edmunds has
been asked to make suggestions as to the
legal form of the provision, and has con-
scented to do so.
The general opinion on the republican
side is favorable to a declaration for reci-
procity and of providing a means for put
ting it into effect, the only difference like
ly to arise being over the form.
The caucus also probably will take up
the antitrust amendment, providing the
republican members of the judiciary COM
mittee are ready to report.
Other questions which are slated for
consideration are the duty on tea, the in
ternal revenue features which will involve
the policy of striking out the entire por-
ton Of the bill on this subject, including
the increased tax on beer and the dispute
over the rate of duty on imported wrap
per tobacco, il time permits.

TRAINING BRIG MISSING.
Two Vessels Sent to Search For Her
Fail to Find Her.

Portsmouth, England, June 23.-Consid-
cradle anxiety is felt here at the non
arrival at this port, to take part in the
great naval review, of the British train

Thursday, but has not been seen since she
left Davenport. 1t is believed the brig
experienced the full force of recent gales.

aged by forty-one officers and men and
eighty boys, some mishap is feared. Two
special service vessels, which were dis
patched TO search for the missing brig
between Portsmouth and Davenport have
returned without finding any trace of the
Sea Lark
The Sea Lark left Queens Ferry on June
y for Portsmouth. On the 18th she was off
Grimsley, and was somewhat disabled.
Lieut. lizard, her commander, is among
the recipients of the jubilee promotion.

dore. The boys of her crew were recruit

Another Jubilee ode.

The Times this morning publishes a
jubilee ode from the pen of Sir Lewis Nor
ris, says a London cable of June o to the
New York Herald. 1t begins:
Rejoice, give thanks for all the centuries
Since first our little islands crescent
story.
A feeble radiance, woke the waning skies
To rise in full orbed glory
The ode proceeds to describe the birth
and growth of the mighty empire until the
coming of the present reign, and then
says:
Ne'er In our crowded republics story yet
Of all that men remember or forget
This strange this precious thing has been.
No reign of three score years of King or
Queen.
our annals hold. til in this waning age
Times finger writes IL on the STORED page
This Is the golden INK which binds in one
All British hearts beneath the circling
sun.
The poet, after plcturing the queens
life and the gathering OF her proud sub
Jeets from all quarters Of the globe TO do
her honor. says:
This pomp makes history long years to be
When an our brave Victorian company
Beyond the circuits Of the stars has gone.
The echoes o. thi. memorable day.
Not wholly done nor fed away,
shall still go widening. widening on.
Till Britain with new fires of union glow.
The ode concludes:
Princes and peoples join alike to pay
Due reverence to a womans blameless
sway.
And bless with voice and heart this fair
suspicious day.

NEGRO EXPOSES A MURDER.

CRIME SINCE LAST MARCH.

Was Afraid TO Tell of Ii For Fear

The Murderer White Man and
His Victim NegrO-The Crime
Committed Because the Negro
Knew of n Robbery Committed by
the White Man.
Augusta, Ga, June 23.-That murder will

brought to light in this county.
Silas Johnson to-day carried DR.. Nor
gan, the county physician, and officers of
the law to a place thirteen miles distant
in the country, where he said would be
found the body of Henry Bryant, another
negro, who, according to Johnson, was
murdered last March by a white man nam
ed Lewis Eldridge.
Johnson declares that Bryant saw Ed
redge robbing a car, and for this reason
Eldridge killed him. Johnson and another
negro named Berrien were employed by
Eldridge and were witnesses to the muir
der. and under direct threats OF being
killed themselves have up to the present
time kept the secret.
After the murder Eldridge was arrested
on a charge of larceny, and after giving
bond fed His continued absence EN-
boldened the negro to talk about the muir
der, and thus the story came to light.
johnson says Eldridge forced him and
Berrien to bury the dead negro on hill
side and conceal the grave. To-day he led
the way straight to the grave, and sure
enough a little digging exposed the de-
composed remains.
According to Johnson's story, the negro
was first shot and afterwards his skull
was crushed with an ak. The corpse sub
Stimulates this much of the story.
Johnson is in jail, where he will be held
as an accessory to the murder, and the
authorities say they know the where
abouts of Eldridge, and will soon nave
him. The negro Berrien, who is said to
have assisted Johnson in the burial, and
also witnessed the killing, is still at large.
