A JUSTIFIABLE LYNCHING.
Inhuman Black Fiend Butchers Hus-

Order to Rob House.

New Orleans, Feb. ia negro named
This Jackson was lynched to-day at st.
Peter, a station on the Texas and Pacific
road about twenty miles above the city.
Jackson's crime was particularly fiendish.
About o'clock this morning he visited
the home of Alexander Bourgeois, the en-
gineer of the drainage machine on Belle
Point plantation, some distance from the
plantation quarters, going there on a tri-
cycle. He told Bourgeois the manager
wanted him, and the engineer mounted
the tricycle. with him. A little way fur
ther on Jackson stabbed the engineer in
the back and threw the body into a ditch.
He then returned to the house and butch
cred Mrs. Bourgeois and her two babies
and ransacked the house. Two boys were
visiting the family, and when they caught
the first glimpse of the attack on Mrs.
Bourgeois they hid in the woods.
After the negros departure they went
to St. Peter and gave the alarm and re-
turned with a mob of several hundred.
The negro was traced to his home, fully
identified by the boys, and was hung and
his body ridd,ed with bullets before the
sheriff arrived.

THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Will Occupy Senate's Time This
Week-Democrats VIII Debate
All Measures

Washington. Feb. f7.-The Senate win
devote practically all it's time during
the present week to appropriation bills.
The postoffice appropriation bill probably
will be taken up tomorrow upon con-
vening. though 1t may give place to the
diplomatic and consular appropriation bill.
The amount OF the time to be consumed
in discussing these measures viii depend
largely upon the determination which
may be reached with reference to the
ship-subsidy bill. So long as the Demo-
Gratis feel that the subsidy bill is to be
pressed In case of a lulI they will insist
upon debating all measures presented. The
bill making appropriations for fortifica-.
tions also will receive attention during
the week, and 1t is expected that the
conference report on the Indian Bill will
be considered. The army bill probably
will be reported late in the week. but not
in time to be debated before the begin
ming of next week.
There is some talk of the renewal of
night sessions, but II is not probable that
they Will be again undertaken until the
closing days Of the session.

VAN WYCK VET0ES BILL.
Returns New York Police Bill to Al
bany with Good Reasons for
His DisapprovnI.

New York, Feb t7.-It was learned to-
day that Mayor Van Wyck on Saturday
evening returned to Albany the police
bill, with his disapproval attached. The
memorandum which the Mayor sent to
Albany with his veto is addressed ITO
the Senate of the State of New York, ''
and in part says:
This bill abolishes the present Board
OF Police Commissioners in charge of the
police department of the city of New
York and transfers all their powers to a
single commissioner, to be named by the
Mayor. subject az all times to a power of
removal vested not only in the Mayor.
but also in the Governor. The power OF
removal given to the Governor Is not
limited in any way. II Is not a power
Of removal for cause, and IL does not re-
quire that the commissioner shall have
any opportunity of being heard before
his removal.
THE position of the commissioner to
be appointed under this dill is, therefore,
that, although a local officer. his tenure
of office is at the pleasure of the Govern
or of the state.
1T is further provided In the bill that
no person the Governor removes shall ever
subsequently be appointed to Office. The
whole purpose and effect of the disquali-
fication, and of the arbitrary power OF
removal vested In the Governor, Is to
completely nullify the power of appoint
ment nominaily given TO the Mayor.
This is a violation Of the provisions
Of the constitution, which guarantees to
the inhabitants Of the counties, cities.
towns and villages of the state the right
to select their local officers.
This bill is an attack upon the consti-
tutional rights of local self-government.
II is al the more dangerous because the
attack is made in an underhand and indi-
rect way"
The Mayors message will reach Albany
tomorrow morning. 1t is believed that
the bill will be passed over his veto by
both houses of the Legislature. and that
the Governor will then sign 1t.

Kansas City, Feb. 17.-Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee. talking to the Kansas City Social Or
der of the Loyal Legion at a dinner at
the Coates House, held in memory of
the anniversary of the destruction of the
batt;eship Maine, said:
The American navy is pride to tho
nation, and it should be looked after.
for it will be of Importance if ever there
should be a war with foreign nation in
the future. No nation could send On
army to this country and be successful.
And we want navy that will be a de-
Tense as SIRE and strong"
Asked how long he expected to remain
in the active service, Gen. Lee said:
1T may be for a year. and It may be
forever;" and then he added seriously
that next summer would probably be a
little more definite.
Mrs. Lee and her daughter accompanied
the General here and left to-day for
Hauchuca, Ariz., where Mrs. Lee goes
for her health. Gen. Lee returned to
Omaha.

GAGEs's POOR MOVE WAS JUST TO
HIS LIKING.
WAS READY FOR TARIFF WAR
DOES NOT PLEASE THE RUSSIANS,
HOWEVER.
De Witte Said to Desire to Impress
Germany and the United States
with Russla's Industrial Strength.
The Step Not Viewed With Favor
by Russia's PresS-The NOvOSti


St. Petersburg, Feb. 17.-Shrewd observ-
ers in st. Petersburg believe that the
Russian Minister of Finance, NJ. DeWitte,
in imposing a discriminating duty on
American manufactures of iron and steel,
was not only animated by a desire to
protect Russian sugar producers, but was
eager to seize an opportunity to mobilize
Russia's industrial army, with a view to
proving its ability to stand the test of
tariff war. 1t is believed, moreover,
that ne desires to impress Germany even
more than the United States.
The Russian press does not give any
particular approval to the experiment. The
Boersen Gazette, usually influenced by the
Minister of Finance, warns both sides
against implicit faith in the Bismarckian
theory that tariff wars do not disturb
good political relations, pointing out that
experience has shown the opposite to be
the case as a rule.
'% hope the friction will be as quick
ly removed as it arose." continues the
Boersen Gazette, "since the political re-
lations now existing between the two
Powers are the best they have ever
known. Both are playing the game of
the Tertium Gaudens, which is prepar-
ing blow against both. Doubtless the
American public is wiser than the sugar
producers and the government that is
acting in their interests
The Novosti, correctly representing
| Russian public opinion as to the Russian
governments policy. demands the aboli-
ton of the domestic tax and of "a sys-
tenn devised to enable few lazy manu-
facturers to make enormous profits at
the expense of consumers"
Russia's export policy the Novosti
contends is designed to principally sup
port high domestic prices. 1t is well
known that one of the chief obstacles to
temperance work in Russia is the prize
of sugar, which checks the consumption
of tea.
Americans here have long been convinc-
ed that one of the most formidable obsta-
cles to the development of Americas ex-
port trade with Russia is the lack of suffi-
cient return cargoes to make a direct
steamship line between New York and st.
Petersburg profitable Therefore tn de-
plore. any action that would tend to ag-
gravate the difficulty.

THE UNION NINE DISASTER.
Not One of the Sixty-One Buried
Miners RecOvercd-Thc Cause
of the Explosion Unknown.

Vancouver, B. c., Feb. 17.-Additional
details continue to come from the Union
mines on Vancouver Island, where the
terrible fatality occurred Friday forenoon.
The accident has thrown the towns of
Cumberland and Nanaimo into a state of
gloom.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Com
pany's steamer Tartar arrived at VAN
couver this afternoon from the coaling
station at Union, twelve miles from Cum
berIand. She brought two passengers, II.
r. Raymond and George Bennett, both
coal miners. They say the cause is not
known and that it will never be known.
When the Tartar left Union at Z o'clock
this morning the late news from No 6
shaft was that the flooding process was
stilf being continued. The fire was stin
burning, although not so fiercely as dur
ing the preceding thirty-six hours
The tremendous volume of water
pouring into the mines from
the continuous supply furnished
by an eight-inch main was gradually per-
forming the service desired, and by to-
morrow it is confidently expected the fire
will be extinguished. 1t will be severai
days, Raymond says, before the bodies OF
t4iS SlAly-Oie 6IltOUlDeQ miners can DG
recovered, because after the fire has been
put out it will be necessary to pump the
water out of the mine before rescuing
party can hope to get at the corpses now
lying at the bottom of the shaft.
Shortly before the Tartar sailed from
Union this morning the steamer Joan ar
rived having on board Premier James
Dunsmuir, of the British Columbia gov
eminent, who is one Of the owners of
the Cumberland mines The families of
the dead miners require financial assist
ance, which will be forthcoming from
more than one source. The Mayor of
vancouver has already taken steps to
aid the bereaved families, and other cities
are taking similar action. In the mean
time the Premier has ordered the storc-
Keepers at Cumberland to give the dis
tressed families what supplies they may
require.
Descended Into the Mines.
Vancouver, B. c., Feb. 17.-After the
arrival of Premier Dunsmuir and his
party at the mine shaft No. s. which
connects with No. 6 was opened and the
big fan started to send a volume of air
down and to force back the gases and
efterdamp from No. G. At 3:45 O'Clock
Manager Little, Inspector of Mines Nc
Gregor Thomas Russell and a number
OF other mining engineers went down
and We're below about two hours. They
reported on coming up that they had
proceeded in some 800 or go feet when
they met body gas. Shaft No. is
flooded to a depth of AZ feet, and it is
believed the fire has ben extinguished.
The members of the party who went
down No. found no smoke or sign of
fire. Some believes that they will be
able to get through to No. and endeavor
to get out some Of the bodies tomorrow
or Tuesday.
