washington, Jan. 21.-The Yost-
Tucker contest election case from the
Tenth Virginia district was called up
in the house Wednesday by Mr.. Mccall
of Massachusetts, chairman of the COM
mittee on elections. 1t gives promise
of being the most interesting, as well
as the most bitterly case
brought before the house during this
congress.
The majority Of the committee, four
Republicans and three Democrats,
found for the contestee, Harry st.
George Tucker, a Democrat who has
represented his district in four con-
crosses. A minority of two Republic
ans. Walker of Virginia and Thomas
of Michigan, brought in report in ia
vor of the contestant, Mr. Yost, who Is
a member-elect of the next congress.
ITpon the face of the returns Mr.. TucF-
er received 12,422 votes and Mr.. Yost
IL, $50.
The case hinged upon the justice or
the Virginia election law with regard
TO imperfect ballots. and the claim or

AN ANTI-PASS BILL.
One Is Introduced in the Michigan
Legislature.

Legislature.
Lansing, Mich, Jan. Ex-Governor
Pingree is not often at the state capitol,
his duties as mayor of Detroit seeming
to require the greater portion of his
time. AS a consequence the three ap-
pointive officers named by him last
week have not received their commits
sions, although they are here for the
purpose of assuming the duties of their
offices. Railroad Commissioner Wasse-
Illus, who is not permitted TO accept
railroad passes, finds upon investigation
that If he travels as much as his pre-
decessor did last year at the rate or
cents a mile, il will cost the state about
$4,000 per annum for his railroad fare.
Senator Robinson Tuesday introduced
his anti-pass resolution providing for an
amendment to the constitution prohip-
iting the acceptance of railroad passes
by a member of the legislature and
makes ii a misdemeanor to offer pub
lie official a pass or franking privilege
of any kind The proposed amendment
is copied from the provision now In the
New York state constitution. 1t Is
predicted that the resolution will nave
a very rocky journey.
In the house Tuesday Representative
Kelly introduced his resolution to re-
duce the mileage to be paid members
of committees visiting state institutions
from 10 to cents and a cents In the
upper peninsula. In the senate con-
current resolution to fix the date or
final adjournment on April % was

steamer British Queen, Captain Smith,
which arrived Tuesday afternoon from
Antwerp. while coming through Ged-
ney channel at 2:14 p. m. was In col
lision with the outward bound Atlas
line steamer Alvena. The British Queen
struck the Alvena amidships on the port
side. tearing a large hole in her. The
Alvena ran into shoal water.
The British Queen anchored after the
collision in order to render all possible
assistance. The steam pilot boat WAL
ter Adams, which was on duty off the
bar. bore down quickly to the Alvena
aid and took off the passengers and
crew. bringing them to New York. The
Alvena is now on the edge of the bar,
full of water and her cargo is washing
out of her. The British Queen, findins
that no immediate assistance was re-
ouired, got under way and proceeded

THREE NEGROES LYNcHED.
Terrible Vengeance Wrought by a Mob in
Louisiana.

New Orleans, Jan. 21.-John Johnson
and Arch Joiner. who murdered the
Cotton family. were taken from jail
and lynched by a mob at Amite City at
o'clock Wednesday morning. The
crowd at first decided to burn Johnson
at the stake, but finally concluded to
hang him. Both negroes were therefore
hanged and shots fred into their bodies.
The same mob also hanged Gus
Williams, who was accused of murder
ing his wife. All three men executed
by the mob were colored Johnson and
Joiner, according to the confession OF
the former, were guilty of the murder
of the five members of the Cotton fam
lily, near here, some time ago. The trio
OF murderers were taken from the jail
at Amite City all together by the mob.
Shortly afterward a report was re-
ceived that Williams had been hanged
to a big oak tree in front of Little Zion
church, not far from Amite City, and
that the mob was on its way to Tickfaw
with Johnson and Joiner who would
no doubt meet horrible fate. john
son and Joiner were brought to Amite
City from New Orleans Tuesday to
plead to the indictments against them,
and after the hearing were remanded
without bail. During the day party
of citizens called at the jail and john
son made his confession. He said that
he had always liked the Cotton family
and would not have harmed them had
it not been for the fact that he was
bullied into what he had done.
Ha hot ha himself
an ak, not to hurt any of the people
in the house, but to prevent their escap-
ing. as he had been told to watch the
door. The murder, Johnson said, was
planned by Bud Mcknight, who was
a suitor of the girl Maud Miller, whose
mother, Mrs. Cotton whipped for al
lowing Meningitis attentions. This
was the only motive he knew for the
crime. He said Arch Joiner shot Cot
ton, the head Of the household with
gun, then struck Merven Stevens, the
son of Mrs. Anne Stevens, with an az
on the forehead, knocking him back or
the bed and killing him. Joiner finished
the men and then went into the room
which was occupied by Mrs. Stevens
Mrs. Cotton, and Lizzie Miller, will
Maude and several children, and killed
the three women.

The Torpedo Service VIII Devote Its En-
ergy to the Rivers Navigable to the
Spanish Gunboats and Successful At
tacks Are Expected-Report on Cuba's
Resources by United States Consul Hy-
att-Weyier Making War on Women.
New York, Jan. 21.-The Press says:
Glad tidings to Cubans in this city were
those which announced the sinking OF
the Spanish gunboat Relampago by
means of torpedo, while the ship was
hurrying to the assistance of the garri-
son of Fort Guannio, on the Cauto riv-
er, the most important inland water
way of the island. Anxiously during
the last three weeks news of this kind
had been awaited by Cubans who knew
that their government had decided to
attack Spain's fleet in the only way
open to the insurgents, namely: by SUBJ
marine explosions. Three weeks ago a
letter was received in this city in which
the writer said that the delay in be-
ginning war upon Spain's patrol fleet
was due to the blunder of those who
shipped the wire and the generator of
pedoes. The mistake had been recti-
fed and that the material reached it's
destination safely is proven by the de-
struction of the Relampago on Satur-
day of last week.
Thoroughly Proficient.
A gentleman who knows the electri-
clan who accomplished the first marine
victory for Cuba libre, says:
THE man under whose supervision
the insurgents have begun war on
Spain's gunboats is thoroughly prof.
cient in electrical engineering, and Is
| In Cuba now because of his enthusiasm
| In the cause of freedom. ] believe
this new departure will result in the
loss of many more of Spain's gunboats
| The commanders of the patrol fleet are
I afraid to keep their ships in the open
sea at night, and their places of rendez-
vous-behind the little islands scattered
all along the Cuban coast-are perfectly
known to the patriots. The torpedo
| service will devote it's energy exclusive
ly to rivers navigable by the Spanish
| gunboats, and to the unprotected an
chorages to which they retreat a.
| night. There are more than forty wal
vessels of different kinds in Cuban wat
ers. They are seldom in Havana mar
Dor. They will be easy game wher
once our torpedo service has become II
a degree perfected. / shall be dlsap
pointed if we do not hear of other sue
cessful attacks upon Spain's fleet with
in the coming fortnight"

at Santiago has supplied the state de-
partment with an interesting report de-
voted entirely to a complete description
of the enormous natural resources OF
the queen of the Antilles. He says that
Cuba should rank among the foremost
communities of the world, and he be-
lieves she will soon attain this distlnc-
tion whenever a stable government ana
cheerful obedience to the powers tnat
be present to the homeseeker ana IN
vestor conditions that will make home
pleasant and capital secure.
The iron mines, overshadowing In I'M
portance all other industries In the east

only Industry that has made any pre-
tense to standing up against the shock
of the present insurrection. Two COM
