city.

tions.
The royalist troops, particularly the
Cossacks, have taken up a position in
the central square and surrounding
streets and II is believed the national
lists will attack their position in full force
IL they do not surrender.

appear, at this writing, to be seriously
threatened.

They throng the streets wearing red
badges and offering encouragement to

There was a sharp outbreak of rifle fire

working, but with difficulty. .

in the square in front OF the offices of

HOUSE WILL INSIST
ON DOLLAR LUMBER .

WASHINGTON, July 13.-When the
conferees on the tariff bill began work
today it was with the knowledge that
the amendments to the lumber sched-
ule, over which a contest was certain,
would be reached before adjournment.
The house members were expected to
make a strong fight for dollar lumber"
which was defeated in the senate.
In view of the fact that the lumber
amendment will require great deal
of elaboration, it is likely that after
the discussion has continued for time,
the whole subject will be put over until
another day and the conferees Will dls-
pose of minor amendments.
Members OF the senate committee on
finance are preparing statement, re-
plying to charges that senate amend
ments to the tariff will result In IN
creasfng the cost of wooden and cotton
clothing. shoes and other articles or
common wear, as we'll as other necessi-
ties Of life.
WILL SHOW CHANGES.
The statement will show that the
duty on shoes has been reduced anu
that there has not been single chanse
in the rates on wooden goods and taht
~ ro+es on cotton have not been in
creased. -. .oo
Tbare will follow list of about 300
decreases in rates from the Dingley du-
ties and a list of about sixty or seventy
ave increases. An effort will be mace
to show that most of the latter are not
in reality increases of rates, but that
they provide for the collection OF the
rates fixed by the Dingiey law, which
had been set aside by the misinterpreta-
ton OF that law.
The recess was taken by the conferees

ing of the bin for the consideration OF
amendments had proceeded about half
way through the flax or linen schedule.
Practically all of the disputed amend
Tnents were passed over. The cotton

sheriff Davis Experience.
Sherin Davis tells a thrilling story
OF his efforts to take his prisoner to
safety in the Danville Jail, for which
he was bound. After leaving Cairo
he discovered several men on the
train with him whom he knew to be
from Cairo. and at Dongola he
learned OF the crowd awaiting the
train at Anna. He was advised to
leave the train at Dongola' and did so.
There also he came upon several men
whom he suspected of unfriendly feel
ings and decided to get way, but
could find no rig. He and the pris-
oner and Deputy Sheriff Fuller took
the bottom road as previously stated
intending TO reach the Big Four. but
met men on the road who spoke TO
them. and the sheriff was sure his
whereabouts would be telegraphed to
Cairo. The party wandered about in
the woods all night away from the
road. and early in the morning found
"a vacant house in which they lay
down to rest. This was near Karnak
and Mr.. Davis went to the town to
purchase food. returning to the house.
Shortly after this a citizen from Kar-
max came and warned him that his
whereabouts was known and that he
had better move. Again the tramp
was taken up through the woods; the
party was Loot for several hours, not
knowing where they were or whittier
bound. They were about two miles
from Karnak when the Cairo mob
overlook them.
This morning at o'clock Captain
