NEW ORLEANS, March civilian Har-
ris, one of the two negroes who attempted
to rob the store of Mrs. Caroline Middleton,
in McDonoghville,. opposite this city, last
night, was probably lynched, though no
trace of his body can be found and 1t was
probably thrown into the river. Harris and
his pal Andrew Piggee, entered the store
last night and put a pistol to the head OF
Mrs Middleton, demanding her money. She
declined to comply and a struggle followed
with the men, during which the pistol ex-
ploded. An alarm was given and a posse
formed and the two negroes landed in jail.
Later on q gang gathered around the prison,

was run down and shot to death, but his
body could not be located this morning.

RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
Advisable Not to Pass One mt This Ses-
sion of Congress-.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The fact that
there would be no river and harbor bill has
been discounted since the session opened.
During the consideration OF the sundry civil
bill, q few weeks ago, the question was
discussed in the House and the Republican
leaders all agreed that it would be mad
vsable to pass bill at this session. AS
surances have been given, however. that
there will be a bill at the next session and
these assurances removed much of the OPP
position in the committee. 1t was under
stood that If measure were reported at
this session it would be limited in its scope
and probably be satisfactory to no one. 1t
was also felt that there might be a doubt
of the passage of a small bill The strength
of river and harbor bills in the past usually
has been the fact that works in all parts
of the country were literally cared for. The
Republican members in their attitude, of
course were largely influenced by the de-
sire of the leaders to keep down appropria-
tions at this session, but the arguments
advanced against reporting a bill at this
session appealed also to the Democrats, at
least two of whom voted against report
ing a bill
