TWO MEN LYNCHED.
The sheriff at Emporia Dismisses the
Troops-The Mob Immediately Take
the Two Murderers from Jail and
Hang Them.

Richmond. Va. March 24.-The reign
of excitement in Greensville county
eliminated today in a double lynching
at Emporia. Both Cotton, the negro.
who, according to his own confession.
killed Saunders and Melton, and
O'Grady, the white man who was with
him in the cabin when the killing oc-
CURED, were hanged by an infuriated
mob, variously estimated at from 1900
to 1900 strong.
This morning the sheriff of the coun-
ty discharged from duty the military
that had been sent from this city at
his request, and Major Cutchins, in
command of the troops, notified Gov
ernor Tyler. stating at the same time
that he believed that if the prisoners
were left unprotected by the military
they would be lynched. The governor
replied as follows:
"The sole responsibility is on the
sheriff If he orders you TO withdraw
you can do nothing but obey. We have
done everything possible to uphold the
law and prevent mob violence and are
still prepared to render any aid neceS-
sary. / have recalled the train With
Captain Cheatwood's company, and
| will again dismiss them. / will ar
range with the railroad to bring your
men back"
Accordingly, Major Cutchins en-
trained his men and started for Rich
mond. This was about II o'clock.
Hardly was the special out of sight
| when a mob entered the jail, took Cot
| ton, hanged him to the limb Of tree
and fired several bullets into his body.
| Later, despite the protests of cooler
| heads, who claimed that the guilt OF
| the white man had not been establish
| ed, another crowd, composed largely OF
negroes, entered the Jail, overcame the
resistance of the few that tried to pro-
| tect O'Grady, took him out and hanged
| him also.
The three other prisoners whom Cot
| ton charged with having committed
| the Black murder and robbery were
discharged by the judge and left town
At last accounts the town had resumed
it's wonted quiet.
Governor Tyler said this evening:
II feel that / have done all can in
the matter. The civil authorities stat
ed that they could handle the mol
without military assistance, and wher
the sheriff ordered Major Cutchins
to depart, there was nothing left TO
him to do but go.
.I am greatly distressed at the re
suit, but l could not keep the soldiers
there without declaring martial Law
and 1 did not feel that the prevailin;
conditions warranted that.

DEADLOCK IN THE SENATE.
Among Republican Senators Over the
Porto Rican Bill.

Washington, March 23.-The republi-
can caucus committee Of the senate to-
day authorized Senator Foraker in def
mite terms to propose the separation
of the tariff feature from the Porto
Rican government bill and to attempt
to pass the house tariff bill without
amendment. The programme is to vote
down all amendments if possible to do
So and pass the bill as ii comes from
the house without any changes what
ever.
There was a disposition manifested
to placate the free traders by making
various amendments to the govern
mental bill. The tariff advocates have
gone so far as to draft amendments
to that measure which are intended
both to correct administrative defects
in the house bill and also TO meet many
of the objections TO the house tariff
measure. One OF these amendments
looks to the enlargement of the free
trade list so as to include most of the
articles of export in which the constit-
uents of the free trade senators are
interested. There is also a proposition
looking to the entire removal Of the
duty on articles from the United States
going into Porto Rico.
The element in the republican ranks
in the senate favoring free trade with
Porto Rico decided at a conference to-
day to oppose any action looking to an
early vote ard to ask for further time
in case the question should come up-
About ten senators were present. They
were unanimously OF the opinion that
delay meant gains for their cause IN
the public good will and in the senate
The canvass for the republican sena-
tors was made with the result, II was
stated, that fifteen could be found VINO

annual meeting today of the Florida
State Board of Health the causes Of

mer of yellow fever at Key West and

entirely ignored, and that at every

tablish its own system Of inspection and
quarantine and will refuse to honor
