secretary of agriculture has endeavored
TO secure the removal OF the restrictions

as these representations contained all tho
information possessed by the department
Of agriculture that department did not
consider IL necessary to draft any special
corresnondence under the provision Of the

reports also that the British law makes
the slaughter at the port of entry perma-
nent after January 1. 1897
The letters begin with those OF Mr..

London. Mr.. Blaine urging that the re-
strictions against America should be
modified Mr.. Lincolns interviews with
Lord Salisbury are set forth at length.

and said that Simon Cooper had come TO
his house and was there asleep. Burkett
rode 10 Sumter with the news and depu-
" sherf with a posse of nine men imme-
diately left. \ woman and man were in
the house with Cooper. He sent out the
woman and later sent the man to buy him
ammunition in Camden. giving him sam
ple shell. The man rode over TO the posse
and gave them the shells Cooper IS in
the house alone, was well armed with Win
chesters. with which he this morning kept
up a continuous fire. The house is small
and on a hill in the open so that the posse
cannot come within range with any de
gree of safety. A small six FOUNDER can
non used for firing salutes has been Sc
cured as the only way 20 capture Cooper
without further loss OF life is to demolish
the house in which he is barricaded. There
IS no ammunition for cannon in Sumter,
so it will be loaded with bolts and nuts.
News has just been brought 10 town
that he was shot by the posse around the
house before the cannon arrived. No de-
tails were given.
Later it was learned that the negro
was captured alive and lynched.

A VICIOUS ATTACK
Upon Editor Hearst by Representative
johnson, OF California-Resented by Mr..
Cooper. of New York

Upon Editor Hearst by Representative
johnson, OF California-Rescnted by Dir.
Cooper, Of New York
Washington, D. c., January S.-The
second days debate on the Pacific rail-
road funding bill developed by far the
most sensational incident OF this ses-
sion of Congress. MIR. Johnson, (Rep.,
Cala.), the only member of the. Cali
fornia delegation who favors the fund
ing bill, in the course Of his remarks
took occasion to make a remarkable
vituperative personal attack on Editor
Hearst, Of the San Francisco Exam
iner. He described Mr.. Hearst and
Mayor Sutro as men who were terror
i2ing the Pacific coast members and
made statements concerning the for
mer which led Mr.. Cooper, (Rep.,
Wis.,. to characterize il later as the
most "disgraceful attack in the legis-
lative annals of the United States.
The members who had been listen
ing atttentively to Mr.. Johnson's re-
marks, as he always is one Of the nost
entertaining speakers in the house,
were thunderstruck at the length to
which he went. Once at the last ses-
sion Mr.. Johnson denounced Mr.
Hearst, but on that occasion he was
called to order by Mr. Mcguire, of Cal
ifornia To-day he completed his phil
lipic without interruption.
The speech created profound sem
sation which was increased by Mr..
Coopers denunciation Of it as cow
ardly attempt to blacken the reputa-
ton of man Of positive genius" Mr..
Cooper also took occasion to score the
gentleman from California sundly for
his attitude tward the bill. Mr. John
son made no attempt to reply to Mr.
Cooper.
This incident completely overshad-
owed the interest in the debate on the
funding bill, and thereafter it proceed
ed quietly to the hour when the recess
was taken. The general debate was
closed to-day. Tomorrow the bill
will be taken up for amendment under
the five minute rule. Those who spoke
to-day were Messrs. Patterson. (Dem.,
Tenn; Johnson, (Rep., Cala.); Ar
mold, (Rep.. PENN, and Hepburn,
(Rep., Iowa., in favor Of the measure,
and Messrs. Harrison, Dem., Ala.);
Boatner, (Dem., La; Swanson, (Dem.,
Va.); Mccall, (Rep., Mass.); Wheeler
(Dem., Ala); Cooper, (Rep., Wis.,;
Shafroth. CRep., Colo); Bell, (Pop.,
Colo); Parker, (Rep., N j., against
it. Mr.. Harrison gave notice of a sub
stitute he should offer to provide for
a commission to consist of the secre-
tary of the treasury, secretary of the
interior and attorney general to nego-
tiate the settlement of the debt.
