at a late hour last night.
The mob first called upon Sheriff Grif-

jail. The sheriff refused and stood Arm
through all the efforts to intimi0ate him.
The lynching party then moved toward
the Jail and succeeded in breaking through
the outer walls. but could not break
through the steel cells. After exhausting
every effort to do so, they opened fire on
the two prisoners from the outside,
through the steel bars. Williams was al
most instantly killed and Wright was
fatally wounded and died a few hours
later.

SAVANNAH TO GET S1,050,OOO
Georgia Items In River and EsarbOr
Bill Retained Through Efforts
of senator Clay.

Washington. Feb. 6--1-he Senate Com
merce Committee considered the Geor Ia
harbor items at its session to-day and all
of the appropriations carried by the House
bill were retained through the efforts OF
Senator Clay, who is a member of the
committee.
There has been an effort on the part
of some people to cut the Southern
items, but so far as Georgia is concerned
this effort failed. AS the bill will be
passed, therefore, harbor appropriations
for Georgia will be as follows:
Savannah Harbor-$50 900; continuing
contract, $l,OC0Oo0.
Doboy Bay-$20, 600
Darien-$15,0O0
For the construction of a dredge for
Cumberland sound-$l50,000.
For the Improvement OF the Brunswick
inner harbor-Sl25,0 900; for Brunswick outer
bar $4,000.
This last item contains an increase OF
$4,000 over the appropriation made by tae
House 1t was secured by Senator Clay
at the instance OF Mr.. Brantley, and 0s
it has the approval OF the House commit
tee. there is no doubt but 1t will be re-
tanned in the bill when 1t reaches the con-
ference. The river items have not yet
ben reached. Most OF the additions which
have been asked for have been in the
river items.

THE CUBAN CONSTITUTION.
The Administration DESTROYS of Its
Adoption i'm Time for Congress
To Pass Upon II.

Washington. Feb. 6.-h was admitted
to-day by high official of the govern
ment that the administration earnestly
desired the adoption of the Cuban con-
stitution before the adjournment of the
present session of Congress.
While it was extremely desirable to
have Congress pass upon the constitution,
he said 1t was possible that it might be
so satisfactory in its provisions that, re-
gardless of the date of it's adoption, the
President might not deem it necessary TO
call Congress together In extra ses-
sion to pass upon 1t. According
to his understanding It was clearly
within the Legal rights of the President
TO withdraw the troops from Cuba when
he was satisfied that the country was pac-
flied and a competent, stable government
established, without submitting the mat
perfectly plain, however, that the rela-
tons between the governments of Cuba
and the United States must be clearly de-
fined, either in the constitution or In
some other satisfactory way, before the
United States will consent to withdraw
entirely from the government of the ISL
ands.
Secretary Root said this afternoon that
he had no idea when the Cuban conven-
tion would finish it's work or what action
would devoive upon the government oi
the United States with respect to II al
everything depended upon the terms oi
the constitution itself.

,,rasses 4 belief that British troops are

THE POSTOFFICE BILL.
Appropriations for Pneumatic Tube
and other Special Facilities
strongly Condemned.

OODucmnfns
Washington, Feb. 6.-Debate on the
postoffice appropriation bill consumed an
other day in the House. Chairman Loud
to the Postofice Committee, who was a
member of the Postal Commission dis
cussed the subjects investigated by II.
The remainder of the time was occupied
in debate upon the three subjects-pneu-
matte tube service, special mail facilities
and railway mail pay. Mr.. Burke of
Texas and Mr.. Williams of Mississippi
opposed the appropriations for special mail
facilities to the South Mr. Swanson of
Virginia defended the appropriation and
Mr. Cowherd of Missouri championed the
appropriation for special facilities between
Kansas City and Newton, Kan. 1t was
agreed before adjournment to-day that
debate should close tomorrow at 1890 p.
m when the votes should be taken upon
the several amendments which are pend
ing.
Mr. Loud said the pneumatic tube SER
vice in Philadelphia and Boston was not
extravagant, but the service In New
York was "conce we'd in sin and born in
iniauty" and should be crushed out.
The appropriat ons for special faci ities
"had proved a disturbing element and
were vicious in their effect upon the
whole service"
The Senate amendments to the District
of Columbia appropriation II were nom
concurred in and sent to conference.
At 5:33 p. m. the House adjourned.

Cincinnati, Feb. 6.-The second day OF
the Jeffries- Rubin prise-fight In court
brought no indication as to when the
hearing will be concluded. The state is
making a most exhaustive effort to show
that the two fights scheduled for this
city Feb. 10 are a public nuisance under
the provisions Of the Ohio law, and on
that ground a permanent injunction is
asked for.

Mayor Fleischmann testified as to the

for a boxing contest which should come
within the laws of Ohio.
Louis P. Ezekie., who has all the priv

Henry Straus a cigar dealer, testified
to the great demand for tickets. He was
examined at length as an expert as to the
difference between a prize-hght and
boxing exhibition. and he claimed, that
Wnils lne championship was ueleTmlnea
in the former years in what were known
as prize fights, that in later years the
championship was determined by points

TWELVE CHIEF CRIMINALS.
WHOSE HEADS ARE DEMANDED BY
THE FOREIGN ENJOYS.

Two Are Dead, hut Their Ohicial Ex-
ecutiOn VIII BE Demanded Any

Tuan, the Real Leader of the Box
ers, md Tung Fu Slang, Command
er-in-Chief of the Army, May BE
Let Down Light.
Pekin, Feb. 6.-The foreign ministers
this morning gave out for publication
secret imperial edict, handed to them yes
terday by the Chinese plenipotentiaries,
which pleads especially for the life of
Tung- Fu-Siang, commander-in-chief OF
the army.
1t says the only reason is on account
of the turbulent population of the prov
inces of Shen Si and Kan Su, who are
devoted to him and might rise and COM
nit acts of violence against the mis-
sionaries and Christians, which the court
would greatly deplore Consequently his
punishment requires caution, deliberation
and careful consideration.
The Emperor. it is pointed out, even in
the punishment of princes of the blood,
has not been moved by motives for their
protection. Why then SHOULD he do so in
the case of Tung FuSiang? What had
already been done should be taken into
consideration. His army had been reduced
to 5000 men, with the object of lessening
his power, and with the ultimate object
of his future punishment, which will be
promulgated in an sdict, the language OF
which will not be too patent After the
deprivation of his official rank, the EN-
peror will, hereafter, decide on a heavy
punishment.
The ministers will meet again this
morning.
