MASSING OF TUB WARRIORS.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 26.—A special from
Fort Sully, S. D., says: “It is evident from
the developments of the last twenty-four
hours that hostile Indians from the Grand
river, Cheyenne, Rosebud and Pine Ridge
agencies are massing at some point for a
stand against the troops under Gen.
Brooke. From squaw men just in from
Brhach county it is learned that bands of
red men i i warpaint have been passing
through that country for several days,
moving southward. They were well armed
with Winchester rifles, had plenty of am
munition and were well equipped with
pnn e<. They were uniformly insolent and
reticent. Tho squaw men have been
threatened with death by the hostiles and
are running away from their Indian com
panions. They have been excluded from
ail gh >st dancos aud are the subjects of spe
cial spies.”
A special indicates that the Pine river
agency Indians are worse scared than the
whites, and are constantly shifting their
quarters for fear of an attack from the
soldiers.

Bee from Pina Ridge says an order was is
s.ei this morning postponing the beef
issue until to-morrow, and ordering all
strangers, except newspaper correspond

vice.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT’S ADVICES.
Washington, Nov. 36. —The war depart
ment this mornine received news that the
Cheyenne river Indians have abandoned
their ghost dance anil come for rations.
Tins is regarded as a most hopeful sign of
tbe abatement of the ex.itement. Great
benefits have resulted from the employment
ol friendly Indians as government scouts,
ed the department has just
Mthorized Gen. Miles to increase the num
be:- o; such scouts iu the department of
Ilakota to 1,200. It is said a't the army
headquarters that to payment of sl3 a
month to cacn Indian scout, with the
privilege of wearing a blue army blouse
and acknowledged connection with tne
United States government, are indues
me. t too powerful for the average Indian
to resist, as was demonstrated iu the cele
brated Crow outbreak. The 1,200 scouts
enlisted will, it is hoped, exert a strong
peacafu! influence through their family
and tribal relations.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Gen. Raum,
commissioner of pensions, was to-day
before the sub-committee of tbe House ap
propriations committee having in charge
the preparation of tbe pension appropria
tion bill. The appropriation for the fiscal

Raum estimates that the deficiency for the
present fiscal year will amount to between
$32,000,000 and $33,000,00 X He bates this
estimate on payments made on account of
pensions in previous years and on the
amount paid out du: lng the first quarter of
the present Used year.

For tbe fiscal year 1891-92 Gen. Raum es
timates that $133,173,085 will be required
on account of the payment of pensions.
The appropriation for the fiscal year

PORTER ON THE POPULATION.
Hie Final Count Makes the Figures for
the Country 62,052,350.
Washington, Nov. 26.—T0-night Robert
P. Porter, superintendent of the census,
presented a statement to the Secretary of
the Interior giving the population of the
states and territories of tbe United States
as finally determiued. The verified popula
tion of the United States in 1890 is fixed at
62,652,250. This total differs by 141,710
from that contained in tho report of the
census office under date of Oct. 88, 1890.
The change is due to the corrections of
errors of what is termed the first
or rough count and the additions of
names ascertained to have been omitted
from tho enumeration. The work of ascer
taining the number of persons ou the
enumerators, schedules as owning and reus
ing their farms, and whether those farms
are free from debt, or enoumbered by
mortgages, together with the separation of
the white and colored population of the
south, has been commenced and will be
given to the public prior to the commence
ment of the final tabulations.

Rath bone of tbe pest iffice department to
day telegraphed to 001. Delgress, post
master at Austin, Tox., advising tho imme
diate dismissal of H. B. Kinney, the assist
ant postmaster at Austin. This action is
recommended ou the report of Inspector

knowingly destroyed certain evidence in
his possession after it had been demanded
by a postoffice inspector, thereby defeating
the government in a prosecution brought
under the new anti-lottery law.
REPUBLICAN RASHNESS.
They Are to Clinch the Nail in Their
Coffin at the Coming Caucus.
Washington, Nov. 26.— Speaker Reed
and Mr. McKinley had a long conference
to-dav, aud it is understood that they con
cluded that it would be be3t for the party,
so far as the action of the Housi is con
cerned, to keep right ahead with his
policy of last session just as if nothing hud
happened. They claim that President Har
rison will back them to the best of their
ability. Messrs. Reed aud McKinley do
not seem to realize tne terrible black eye
their party received recently at the polls."

A WARNING TO POWDBRLY.
Windowgl3ss Workers Don’t Want to
Bo Dragged Into Politics.
Pittsburg, Pa.. Nov. 26.— At the next
meeting of Local Assembly No. 300, Knights
of Labor, a motion will be made and car
ried to withdraw from the Knights of
Labor should that order join hands with
any political party whatever. No.
300 i3 composed of wind iwglass workers,
a famously secret and strong organi
zation, being universal in its power in the
trade. The secret of this menacing attack
upon Master Workman Powderly and his
predilection for the .farmers’ alliance is
that the window gla-s workers aru
protective to a man, and will
not tolerate dallying with a party
not of their pronounced protective views.
The announcement of their determination
has created a sensation hero in labor circles,
as District Assembly No. 300 is thought to be
the richest and most powerful organiza
tion in the country, and will swing other
trades if they decide to divorce from tho
parent stem.

cure ready cash to meet accruing obliga
tions.

PARNELL STILL STICKS.
GLADSTONES BOLT FAILS TO
E VOKE A RESIGNATION.
The Nationalist Leaders Inclined to
Favor Parnell’s Retirement When
Yesterday's Conference Bogan -Be
fore It Ended He Had Won Many
of Them Over—Waiting on the En
voys.
London, Nsv. 96. —Thirty-eight Parneli
ite members of the House of Commons last
night signed a request asking Mr. Parnell
to convene a meeting of the nationalist
members of the House to day. Mr. Parnell
declined to grant their request, despite the
fact that the rules of theWrty provide that
a meeting shall be called when twenty
members sign a request for such a purpose.
Several of the Parnellite members complain
that they were not informed of all tho facts
in connection with Mr. Gladstone's attitude
toward Mi-. Parnell, as set forth in his let
ter to Mr. Morley, when they voted yester
day to retain Mr. Parnell in tho leadership
of the Irish party. •
A STORMY MEETING.
A stormy scene occurred at the meet
ing of the Parnellite menibo s, held last
night, after the letter from Mr. Gladstone
to Mr. Morley had been made public. Tup
action of Mr. McCarthy in not making
known the concents of the letter at the
morning meeting was severely criticised.
A majority cf the nationalist members
present at night said that they had believed
previous to the meeting in the morning,
that Mr. Parnell on his re-election would
not take anv active part in poli.ios for a few
months. They now believe that if Mr.
Gladstone’s letter had been read at the
morning meeting the result on tbe motion
to retain Mr. Parnell iu the leadership
would have been different. The Truth,
Henry Labouchere’s paper, to-dav abandons
Mr. Parnell.
Later in Che morning Mr. Parnell recon
sidered his determination, aud the Parnell
ites hold a meeting. There was a wide
difference of opinion, a majority favoring
Mr. ParudTs resignation of the leadership,
and tho minority veheme itiy protesting.
Another meeting was called for to-night.
THK FEELING STRONG.
It was learned after the adjournment of
the morning meeting that a strong feeling
iu favor of Mr. Parnell’s resignation of the
leadership was manifested, bu the minority
vehemently opposed it Mr. Parnell’s
speech at the opening of the moating gave
no indication that he intended to alter his
decision to retain the leadership. Mr. Nolan
was tho only member present who favored
Mr. Pamelas retention of office.
Mr. McCarthy, whose frequent allusions
to Mr. Parnell’s great sacrifices for the Irish
cause wore applauded, said he honed that
after due consideration Mr.,Parnell would
see his way to retire for the present and savo
the sacred cause of Irish independence.
HEXTON urges reconsideration.
Mr. y -xton said he r -agj -.ted tha, Mr,
Gladstones views regarding the leadership
of the Nationalist party had boen withheld
at yesterday’s meeting. He sympatheti
cally appealed to Mr. Parnell to reconsider
his position. The question, he said, had as
sumed a now phase since the pub
lication of Mr. Gladstone's letter
to Mr. Morley. The Irish party fully
recognized Mr. Parnell’s tremendous ,-er
vices, but It felt that personal considera
tions must be sacrificed for the sake of the
cause. Mr. Sexton advocated that every
Parnellite should record his opinion as to
the leadership of the party and thus settle
the question.
LOOKING TOWARD AMERICA.
It was hoped that a cable dispatch from
the delegation in America wo .Id reach
London before the meeting adjourned, but
none was received. Much importance is
attached to the message from Messrs. Dillon,
O’Brien and the other dolegates, und the
decision of the mooting to reassemble at 5
o’clock was caused by a hope that the dis
patch would arrive in the interval.
When tho Parnellites returned to the
lobby from the room in which the meeting
was held, they wore surrounded by excited
groups of liberals, who closely qu stioned
them regarding the proceedings. They re
plied that nothing would be decided until
ufter 5 o’clock.
THE AFTERNOON MEETING.
The nationalist members met again in
the afternoon, but adjourned until Monday
without taking any definite action.
To-day’s events have not relieved the
tension, but rather have accentuated the
complications of tho situati n. Mr. Glad
stone’s letter produced a strong impression
upon the nationalists last evening, and from
the indications given at their lmsb
iiy summoned meeting it seemed
that there was every reason to be
lieve tiiat to-day would bring about
new developments which would lead
to an amicable arrangement of the trouble.
But, although the conferences held to-dav
prove that great divergence of opinion ex
ists, they show that Mr. Paruqll Is firmly re
solved to adhere to his decision, and that,
unless a vote of no confidence is passed by
bis followers, he willjnot abdicate the leader
ship.
PARNELL GAINING.
To-day, after a long and earnest discussion
of the situation, in which most candid and
outspoken opinions were given, Mr. Parnell
positively gained a victory. The members,
however, who advocated hii retention,depre
cated the idea of a final decision until the
opinion of the entire party shall have been
recorded. The meeting adjourned after
nearly three hours of speech-making, in
order to obtain the views of tho absent
members of the party.
DIDN’T KNOW WHAT PARNELL WOULD DO.
At the beginning of the meeting Mr. Mc-
Carthy says he a.d his colleagues were ig
norant of the course Mr. Parnell would
pursue, tho prevailing impression being that
after receiving practically a vote of confi
dence he would retire from the head of the
party, at any rate, temporarily. After
Mr. Parnell’s unanimous ra-olectlon Mr.
McCarthy found him elf in a difficult posi
tion and concluded that nothing would be
gained by reopening the question.
The illness of Timothy Healy and the
absence of Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien em
barrass the rank and file of the Nationalist
party. Cable dispute aes were sent last
night to the party’s delegates in the United
Slop's, giving the details of tue crisis and
asking for an expression of their views
concerning Mr. Gladstone’s ultimatum.
THE SPEECHES.
Messrs. Barry and Cummins were the
first speakers to urge Mr. Parnell to retire.
Mr. McCar.hy followed with an eloquent
and impassioned appeal on behalf ot Mr.
Parnell, upqn whose sacrifices for tbe Iris:,
cviisi he laid tbe greatest stress. But Mr.
Gladstone’s letter to Mr. Morley had ma
terially changed the situation, and Air.
McCarthy’s app.*al failed in Its desired ef
fect. Mr. Hexton spoke forty minute,. Mr.
Lane appealed to Mr. Parnell to think of the
Irish tenants wh > were waiting anxiously
for a cba-igc of goveromnt to improve
their position. At tho 5 o’clock meeting
Mr. Sheeby adopt *1 the same fine as Mr.
Lane, and asked Air. Earned to reco sider
hi position, if it were only for the sake of
the evicted tenants in Tipperary who were
waiting for the restoration of their homes.
All tbe speakers dilated eloquently upon
Mr. Parnell’s past services. John O'Connor
spoke strongly iu favor of Mr. I'aruell't re
taining the leaders ip. Several members
objected to postponing the decision until
M nday, but a majority favored postpone
ment.
STEAD DENOUNCES PARNEI.L.
At a meeting of the vigilance society to
night Mr. Broad made a speech in denun
ciation of Mr. Parnell. He met with a
most boisterous receptio i, shouts of “sensa
tionalist" and hia-es and hoots mingling
with the cheers of the anti-Parnellites. The
cheers predominated, but at tho cloae of the
meeting a large section of the audieuco
cheered vigorously for Mr. Parnell.
PROTESTS POURING IN.
The liberal federation committee is re
ceiving from provincial liberal associations
shnaL of letteis and telegrams protesting
against Mr. Parnell’s remaining at
the bead of t.-.e Nationalist party.
Many of the nationalist members
of parliament are greatly annoyed at Mr.
Parnell's ungracious t eatment of Mr.
Gladstone. It is believed that a final
decision in the matter of the leadership will
be made to-morrow, when it is
expected replies will be re
ceived to the dispatches sent
to the Irish delegates in America, asking
their opinions on tho subject. A rumor is
current to-night that Mr. Parnell intends to
issue a manifesto to the Irish people, ex
plaining and justifying his position. Tho
feeling against Mr. Parnell among the Irish
members is increasing to-night,
A careful Inquiry brings out the fact that
little doubt, exists as to the upshot of the
matter. When the party reaseombles on
Monday, it is probable that Mr. Parnell
will again be urgod to retire by a section of
his supporters, but already the reaction in
his favor has set in, and If a vote is taken
it is expectod that a large majority will be
found upon bis side.
THK WELSH STICK TO GLADSTONE.
The Welsh members of the party held a
moisting t i-day and resolved that thoy wore
convinced that the price of retaining Mr.
Parnell iu the loader shin would be the post
p moment of Home Rule beyond the span
of Mr. Gladstone’s public life, end that
thoy are more determined than ever to
rally to the support of Mr. Gladstone.
A number of prominent members of the
Parnellite party visited Mr. Purnell last
night, and asked him to ro-couslder liis
position as leader of the party. Ho showod
no disposition to retire from the leadership.
Mr. McCarthy explains, however, that lie
did not communicate tbe oonteuts of Mr.
Gladstone's letter to tbe Parnellite meeting
yesterday, because Mr. Gladstone had re
quested him to consider it as confidential if
be found that Mr. Parnell contemplated
spontaneous action.
“DASTARDLY presumption.”
The Chronicle says:
The country will to-day fully realize the extent
of Mr. Purnell's dastardly presumption when It
reads Mr. Gladstone's noble letter to Mr. Mor
ley. When wo call to mind all that Mr Glad
stono has bravely borne for Mr. Parnell
we can find no parallel for llio
baseness of Mr. Pamell'a requital.
Though it fins been our doty to erltcis* an t
oppose Mr. Gladstone’s policy, wo fool certain
that bis prompt resolution to throw of tho un
clean ullium'" which Mr. Parnell would force
upon him will send a thrill of pride and adinlra
tion through the heart of England.
The article concludes with eulogy of Mr.
Davitt’s independence in these words:
We shall be surprised if the best men of the
Irish race at home and abroad do not co
operate with Mr. Davltt in his noble efforts to
redeem bis country from disgrace, and the
cause for which he suffered from ignominious
destruction.
HAD GENERALSHIP.
The Daily Telegraph praises Mr. Glad
stone’s honorable straightforwardness. Re
garding Mr. Parnell, It says:
If It be generalship to have not only brought
disaster upon bis own party, but to have tom
porarily wrecked the Home Rule cause, Mr
Parnell may claim to be one of the finest gen
erals of the age.
INSTINCTIVE IRISH LOYALTY.
Tbe Star (home rule) says that Mr. Glad
stone’s letter was designed to bo read at
the Pamelite meeting held yesterday, at
which It was voted to retain Mr. Parnell in
tho leadership of the party. Somehow the
letter was not read. Justin McCarthy had
been instructed to inform Mr. Purnell of
Mr. Gladstone's opinion that a change In
the leadership of tbe Irish pa-ty was
essential, but in tbe haste of Mr. Pur
nell’s arrival Mr. Gladstone’s opinion wus
not fully impressed upon him. Mr. Parnell’s
sudden presence, his past services, the out
side cruel talk ugainst him, und instinctive
Irish loyalty prevailed over the duty of the
Parnellites as to the necessity of tbe situ
ation. The eyes of tiie party are now opened
to the significance of the affair in England,
which Is nothing less than whother
home rule will lie passed upon at tbe next
general election, or be indefinitely shelved.
Had tho ParnellP.es known this they could
have come to hut one conclusion. We be
lieve they will come to it to-dav.
In conclusion the Star savs it Is confident
that as patriots tbe home rulers have no
alternative but to pass a resolution that
will enable Mr. Gladstone tv give the re
mainder of his life to their cause.
GLADSTONE INDORSED.
The executive committee of tbe liberal
federation, at a meeting to-day, adopted a
resolution expressing its complete satisfac
tion with Mr. Gladstone’s attitude toward
toward the question of the Irish leadership,
and assuring him of Its hearty confidence.

IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
When Mr. Gladstone entered the House of
Commons to-day he was loudly cheered by
his liberal colleagues.
Mr. Parnell was present, and occupied his
usual seat.
Leave was granted to Mr. Gladstono to
introduce his bill removing the disability
preventing Catholics from becoming lord
chancellor of England or lord lieutenant of
Ireland.
don’t grabp the situation.
Tbe Daily News says:
The situation is too grave to admit of idle
compliments. We must inform the followers
of Mr. Parnell that they have entirely failed to
appreciate the momentous nature of tbe crisis.
Unless they make up their minds quietly they
will And that they have done irreparable dam
age to their country and their cause.
Tue liberals have the strongest sympathy for
the two noble and patriotic Irishmen now
seeking the support of tneir fellow
countrymen in America, but Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien w ,uld bo the lost men to claim the right
to dictate to the English liberal*. ad their ab
sence must lie borne, as Mr. Purnell's has been
on many important occasions. Even If Mr.
Pam -II had not been absorbed In the pursuit of
a lawless intrigue, tiis neglect of bis duties and
of the r-spent merited by his able coadjutors
would have b-nn a great hindrance to hi,
utility. But bis conduct oa Tuesday altogether
exceeds these negative disqualifications
Cuius* be can explain tils amazing retioeuce in |

"UNFIT to govebn.’’
London, Nov. 37. 4 a. m.— The Chronicle
dissents from tbe view taken by the con
servative papers that Mr. Gladstone’s letter
to Mr. Morley places the liberal leader at
the mercy of Mr. Parn-11. "On the con
trary,” it’says, “the letter relieves by one
stroke the whole body of Gladstonians
from the odium and disgrace attaching
exclusively to Mr. Parnell and his
obedient followers. And It it not at
all certain that Mr. Gladstone will retire.
The liberals can find him plenty of work to
do apart from Ireland. If he undertook
to solve the social problem he m ght re
unite the liberal ranks and add another to
his many titles to the gratitude and affec
tion of his countrymen. The action of the
Parnetlito party has oonclusivelv shown
that it is not fit to lie entrusted with tho
government of a Christian country."
SALISBURY’S BPNECII.
Lord Salisbury in the course of his speech
in the House of Lords Tueoday, said that
the Parnellites had various modes of escap
ing, some preferring water and others fire
escapes. Tho Chronicle describes tbis gibe
as vulgar and undignified, and adds, “Lord
Halisbury might bare remembered tliat he
was addressing a chamber where sit un
challenged sue i patterns of virtue as Marl
borough, Ht. Leonards ami Ailesbury.”
ALTERS THE SITUATION.
Dublin, Nov. 26.— United Ireland says:
The decision of Mr Gladstone and other most
faithful friends of the causa of home rule alters
the situstioD. It is useless for us to shut our
eyes to tbe fact that their defection will In
definitely prolong the reign of coerclou in
Ireland and postpone tbe triumph of the home
rule movement. < >ur fidelity to Ireland over
rides fidelity to Mr. I'ariieU.
After paying a tribute to Mr. Parnell’s
services to tho cause, tbe paper expresses
great regret at the absence in America o t
Messrs. Dillou and O’Brien, whoso opinion,
it says, would have much weight.
THE KEELING IN WEST CLARK.
Kildysart, Nov. 86. — If Mr. Parnell re
tires from ths leadership of the Irish party
the branches of the national league in West
Clare will dissolve. All the leaden declare
that Mr. Parnell, baviug received such
marks of sympathy, should remain at the
head of the Nationalist party notwithstand
ing Mr. Gladstone's letter.
O’BRIEN AND SULLIVAN IN A STUDY.
Cincinnati, 0., Nov. 26.— Messrs.
O’Brien and Sullivan of the Irish Nationalist
party are here still. Upon being asked if
they bad anything to say concerning the
letter of Mr. Gladstone, tbe reply was that
they had nothing more at this time to say
than that the matter was now engaging
their anxious consideration. Mr. Dillon
not being bore, a conference cannot be had
except by tho unsatisfactory medium of
the telegraph.
FRENCH PRESS COMMENTS,
v Paris, Nov. 26.—Tho Temps says that
Mr. Parnell is bitterly expiatiug fits offense,
but ho will doubtless prefer to suffer a
purely personal expiation rather than con
aerau Ireland to an unbappr defeat.
La France considers Mr. Gladstone's
lettor to Mr. Morley equivalent to a treaty
of peace between the ex-premier and Lord
Salisbury.
Til® ENVOYS TO CONSI .J,.
New York, Nov. 26.—T. P. Gill, the
only iiioinber of tho Irish delegation to-day
ill New York, was in telegraphic communi
cation with the other delegations
who aro in different part* of tbo coun
try addressing meetings, und with
his colleagues in parliament, in
reference to Mr. Gladstone’s letter Mr.
Gill states that the meeting
of the party to-day in London was post
poned for a few days at the auggostio i of
the delegates here to afford them an oppor
tunity of consulting together. They will
probably meet for this purpose Friday at
Cincinnati, and by that time a full inter
change of views will have taken place.
Mr. Gill warns the friends andgympatldK-rs
of the Irish cause in this country to bewure
of forming hasty conclusions on the Infor
mation thus far received. He declares his
fiat disbelief In the alleged anger of the
Irish members at Mr. Parnell's alleged re
fusal to summon the second moetlng. He
is equally incredulous as to the statement
tiiat an Irish member said the Irish party
would follow Mr. Parnell even if Home
Rule were put back for fifteen years, lfo
says such statements are perfectly absurd.
GRAVITY OF THE ('HINTS.
A gravo cris's has undoubtedly been
caused by the publication of Mr. Gladstone's
letter, but tbe Irls.i members may bo relied
on to act with the same patriotism ad dis
regard of self which has characterized their
policy. Mr. Parnell and the Irish Parlia
mentary party will decide tho question
presented to them by Mr. Gladstone’s letter
wholly on consideration* for tbe best inter
ests or the cause which lie anil they have
brought, to tlie threshold of vict ry. Mr.
Gill said that when Mr. Parnell’s mouth
was unsealed the clamors that have been
raised against, him would lie silenced. “I
feel confident.,” says Mr. Gill, “that
tbe next few days will allow
all parties concerned to consider the
situation more coolly, and will enablo a
cordial understanding to b > arrived at be
tween tbe English and Irish home rulers, In
a manner which will be os gratifying to
the ‘Grand Old Man’ to whomlreland owes
so mneb, ns it will be honorable to the Irish
people and their poorless leader.”
O’BRIEN’S DISPATCH TO LONDON.
Cincinnati, 0., Nov. 26.— A reporter
called on William O’Brien to-night and
presented the cablegram stating that the
assembled nationalists in London were ex
pecting to hear from the delegates in
America before tbe meeting adjourned. Mr.
O'Brien said tbe subject was a delicate one
and be did not care to express himself fur
ther than what was contained in the follow
ing dispatch, which he sent this afternoon
to hir, friends on this side: “In view of our
obligations to Mr. Gladstone, tbe interest
of our cause and responsibilities, we
have contracted to the Irish tenantry
on the faith of the general
election fought in cordial alliance with the
Liberal party, I would earnestly recom
mend the party to open immediate friendly
communication with Mr. Gladstone." Mr.
O’Brien added that he had wired Mr. Dil
lon, who is in Elmira, N. Y., tho substance
of the foregoing message. Mr. Dillon will
join Air. O’Brien here to-morrow.

the negro who shot Deputy Sheriff Culpep
per of Ware county at Wnycross several
mouths ago, was arrested hero last night by
Warren Corbett and Policeman Freely. Iff,
Corbett, with tbe a-aistauce of a trust
worthy negro, had had Chavera located for
some tithe, but ho had a partner with him,
and both were heavily armed with Winches
ter rifles and pistols. They were occupying
a small bouse, and K was sure death to some
one if any party attempted to arrest them,
as they are both des|>erate negroes. Mr.
Corbett knew that Chavers would bo likely
to appear on the street, ami that tho chances
for an arrest would be beetthon. Theoppor
tuuity presented itself last night.
A DESPERATE RESISTANCE.
Chavers was up town taking in the flying

Edward MeCree, who had Chavers in hie
convict camp for twelve months previous
to the shooting of Deputy Culpepper, was
also sent for, aud he identified him beyond
n doubt. Chavers’ partner has fled to parte

him. Chavers was taken back to Wayoros*
to-ilay, and is very likely to be lynohed, an
there is much excitement there over the
capture. There in a large reward for Chav

of foreign exhibitors because of the misinter
preted action of the World’s 0 ilinnbian commu
nion on tbe report of the commission on foreign
affairs of that body regarding plana for securing
exhibits from tbe Npiuiish American republics.
I beg to assure you tnat neither the commute*
or commission considers i tbe movement 1 1 any,

politic- in the Lord’s l’rayer; but if there are
any of this (Jans in the commission they are,

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS.
The national world’s fair commission this
morning took up the report of the commit
tee oa buildings and grounds. This precip
itated a rather acrimonious interchange
between Mr. Martindale of Indiana, who
was in favor of adopting tbe report, and
Mr. De Young of California, who was op
posed to it. The tatter pointed out that
that the plans of the buildings were merely
in verbal outline without working plans,
and he be declarod that a loophole was
left through which tbe local directory
might come out with a lot of mere shells.
He moved that the buildings be made of
glass, steel and iron, and fireproof. After
some discussion the motion wai laid o:i the
table, it being pointed out by Mr. Martin
dale that there had not been time since the
suleotlon of tbe site to prepare working
plans for such an array of structures. Tbe
report of the committee on buildings and
grounds was finally adopted.

Haskell, Senator M ade Hampton’s son-in
law, received a telegram today stating that
Senator Hampton, while hunting at or
near Hampton plantation, in Washington
county, Mississippi, was accidently shot.
It seems, as far as can be Darned, that on

he came In range of his son’s line of fire, as
that gentleman was in the act of
shooting. He received part of a
charge of small shot in the face, two strik
ing him on the left eve-lid. The wound has
partially obscured his vision, and he is at
present confined to a darkened room, but
the injury is not regarded as in any way
serious. This make* the second time the
senator has been hurt while bunting. Sev
eral years ago be was t.irown ti cm a mule
while deer hunting, and had his leg broken,
which necessitated amputation below the
knee.
