morning, when Postmaster Baker a
negro, and his family. were burned ont
of their home. the postmaster and a
babe in arms killed. his wife and three
daughters shot and manned for life.
Baker was appointed postmaster three
months ago. Lake City is town Of
400 inhabitants and the negro popula-
tion In the vicinity is large. There was
a protest at Bakers appointment, but
1t was not a very vigorous one. Three
months ago, as the postmaster was
leaving the office at night in company
with several colored men. he was fired
on from ambush, but Ii was not known
who the would-be assassin was or
whether 1t was prompted by other than
personal malice. Since then Baker
moved his family into house in the
outskirts. where he also established the
postoffice. Last Tuesday night. body
Of men. who kept concealed behind
buildings and fences in the neighbor-
hood. riddled the building with shot and
rifle bullets. They shot high, but no one
was hurt. and 1t was supposed to con-
Vey a warning.
A short time before that Senators
Tillman and McLaurin and Congress
man Horton had asked the postmaster
general 10 remove Baker because of his
color, and the request had been refused
Baker did not move his family and

the time the fire aroused the sleeping

wife, four daughters. son and an in

firing into the building. hundred
bullet holes were put through the thin
boarding and many found lodgment in
the people within. Baker was the first
TO reach the door. and he fell dead Just
within the threshold, being shot in sew

Mr.. Bate of Tennessee objected to the
bill because it tended To an increase of
the army. to which he said he was un-
alterably opposed. He thought that
there were enough troops already un-
der enlistment To man all the guns now
provided sior by the government. He
argued that IL would be better TO as
sign infantry regiments to the manning
of these guns than To put them in
charge of raw recruits.
In reply Mr. Hawley pointed out that
the strength of the army was really
decreasing in proportion to the inhabi-
tants of the country. In addition. he
said. congress had made large appro-
priations in recent years for great
guns for forts and coast defense sta
tions. OF these guns la9 were guns of
large caiiber and delicate mechanism

placed in the coast defense places. In
order that these guns may be properly
handled, a body of trained artillerists
is necessary. As much skill is re-
quired to handle these guns as ii re-
quires to run a locomotive or an ordi-
nary river steamer The war depart
ment estimates that the I600 men
which this bill calls for will be neces-
sary properly to man these guns.
Mr.. Cockrell Of Missouri said he was
opposed to an increase in the infantry
or cavalry arrangements of the service
but in this case the country was con-
fronted by a serious condition He re-
garded it as necessary that the guns
provided by the government should be
properly cared for and manned. For
that reason he had consented as a
member of the committee to have the
bill favorably reported.
The bill was then passed, 52-4 The
negative votes were cast by Messrs

to be on the alert and ready for imme-
date action. but this was promptly de-

Nothing whatever of a sensational
character occurred in Washington, and

more.
