SENATE Will
MEET EARLIER
THIS TO EXPEDITE CONSIDERA-
TION OF THE TARIFF.
Senator Bailey Will Press Income Tax
Amendment, But Opinion is That
Measure is Fast Losing
Ground.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Beginning
begin at 10 o'clock instead of II as
last week, and II o'clock ordinarily
The sessions of the senate have been
moved up with the hope of expediting
the consideration of the tariff bill.
The discussion this week will deal
with the various paragraphs of the
bill which have been passed over,
but there will be a few speeches on
the general tariff question, including
one by Senator Depew to be deliver
ed today. Senator Clay has prepared
and will deliver probably on Tuesday,
an elaborate speech criticising the
sugar schedule and undertaking to
show that it is in the interest of the
sugar combinations. Senator Simmons
will continue his effort to have the
rate on sugar lowered.
Senator Bailey will continue to press
his demand for a vote on the income
tax. The general opinion among sup
porters of such a tax is that the
case in the senate has been materially
weakened by the decision of the Pres
ident not to press for the tax. Never
theless, Mr.. Bailey will force the SEN
ate to a vote on the question if he
can do SO.
In the house an attempt will be
made to pass the Philippine tariff bill
today, and the Porto Rican bill on
Thursday. The latter measure will he
reported today. Both bills will arouse
discussion but it is not believed there
will be any stubborn opposition to
either.

AUTHORITIES SAY ONLY 400 ARE
OUT NOW.
The Leaders Are Becoming Violent In
Their Harangue, and Destructive
Methods Are Being Used, Such AS
Cutting Cables.

PARIS, May THE postal strike
is now practically dead The gov
ernment officials announce that only
400 men are out and these are expect
ed to return tomorrow morning At
meeting last night 5000 postal EN-
ployes listened to violent harangues
from the labor leaders, who prophesied
that grave events would happen to-
morrow in the direction of action by
the outside unions. A resolution was
adopted that the struggle be contin-
ued to a finish.
The desperation of the strike lead
ers is evidenced by the fact that de-
structive measures are now being car
ried out, following recent threats. A
gang in an automobile yesterday cut
thirty of the chief outgoing cables
at various points on the outskirts of
Paris. The police caught one of the
men red-handed, but the others escap-
ed There have been several cases
of wire-cutting in the provivences. Oil
and other fluids have been poured into
the letter boxes, and in one instance
the oil being set on fire and many let
ters destroyed.
Two other meetings last night un-
der the auspices of the organized
union syndicates were characterized
by revolutionary speeches, in which It
was declared that 'the workmen's
1898 was at hand"
NJ. Pataud, the electricians leader,
evoked enthusiasm when he recon-
mended the overthrow of the existing
regime. One of the speakers, however
admitted that many unions were not
yet ready to strike and the assemblies
broke up after adopting resolutions
proclaiming the solidarity of the postal
employees.

A BANDIT BAND

STARKVILLE, Miss, May H.
Without doubt the most sensational
report ever presented by grand jury
in Oktibbeha county was filed with
Judge Mitchell yesterday 1t charges
that the inmates of the poorhouse are
not furnished sufficient food to salts
fly their wants. 1t AYERS that justices
of the peace are too lenient on viola
tors of the criminal laws, which prac-
tice tends to license crime.
These averments are mild in COM

the western part of the county, pre-
sumably around Sturgis, there exists
an organized band of lawbreakers
composed of young men and boys, who
are engaged generally in gambling
and selling whisky; that each member
of the band takes an oath "to do as
he pleases" and to stand by his fel
lows and to perjure himself if neces
sary to get any of them out Of
, trouble.
1t is alleged that many men are
afraid to go before the grand jury
and tell what they know about law
violations for fear of assassination
and that Information lvs come tC

formed on this band would be killed

ALLY HEAR IN THE CIR
CUT COURT.
Deputy Sheriff McGIvray, Who
Shot and Wounded Melton.

In the case of the State against
Early Melton a negro, charged with
assault and battery with intent to
kill and murder, brought in a verdict
of guilty of assault and battery. This
verdict is the result of a shooting af-
fair which occurred in the county a
year or so ago, the result of an at
tempt of Deputy Sheriff McGilvray
to arrest Melton wanted on a charge
of assault and battery. In attempting
to make the arrest the officer had to

very seriously injuring the defendant.
The shooting was proved. The de-
fendant. Melton, set up the plea in

it was an officer who had come
through the door, but thought the
door had been forced open by some
negro men and he. the defendant,
thought he was shooting at the ne
groes making forcible entry The

to that effect.
