(pecial esya:
The tragedy is about over. Tiiree leaders
of the negroes are in the hands of the
avengers and six more are hedged in so that
escape in impossible. The hunt began early
this morning.
The names of the three captured are Dick
Cheatham, Anthony Wilden and Zack
Murray. The first two are in custody and
the two latter under surveilance. Wilden
arts caught at a store at Shunuulak. A search
of bis premises disclosed two gnnsconcealed
n a barn, one belonging to himself aad the
other to Will Marti >.

turkey shot, and the other was loaded with
buckshot.
Dick Cheatham was arrested at the house
of Mr. Jones, whom he was assisting killing
hogs. His wifs also was there. She be
trayed great nervousness and anxiety to get
away. She speedily left for the purpose, it
is believed, of warning the other conspira
tors, whose hiding place she knew.

stating that six of the fugttives had break
fasted at bis house, among them Geo. Maury,

range of hills iu the neighborhood.
their fate will be soon determined.
They are finder a strong gnard and the
next twenty-four hours will determine their
fate. Satisfactory evidence is now at hand
that the ambush narty was composed of six-
teen men led by Geo. Maury. The others
Scso-p are Waiter Crook, Will Martin alias
Cool, Geo. Coleman, Henry Bush, Dick Cheat-
barn, Anthony Wilden, Cush Maury, John
S rlnce and Nelson Andrews. It is not likely

Chattanooga, Dec. 20.—Dr. James E.
Reeves of litis city, an eminent mtcroscopist,
has been studying the tissue of the livernnd
kidneys from patients who died with yellow

micro-organism that elosely resembles the

ings of these tissues to the various bacteri
ologists in this country and has had bis dis
coveries photographed by a photographer of
the Ohio State University. Tlte micro
organism baccillus and nothing like it has
ever been found by Dr. Reeves in his long

that his discovery will prove successful in
determining the specific germ of yellow
fever, and that the proper cure will be found
for it before next summer.

anything farther until after a consultation
with eminent scientists, to which he is in

A PROMINENT It S1I.KO.IDKR DEAD.
PARIS, Dec. 19.—In the senate today du
ring the debate on the budget- Challemel-
Lacour said the present wit# not the moment
to consider French finances, but the future
of France. He condemned the policy now
pursued in the sebools which, he said, struck
at the root of the traditional principle of
parental control. The main cause of exist-
ing evils, lie declared, was radicalism, which
relentlessly pursued the old founders of the
republic and gave promises that were im
possible to fulfill.
France had abandoned the most glorious
of monarchies and was about to fall at the
feet of the least of men. It was the cabi
net’s dnty to check the movement toward
the abyss, but instead of doing this the cab
inet was hastening the movement. It was
time to return to a policy of good sense. He
appealed to the right with the party of the
left, which was the upholder or order and
liberty together to save the country.
CREATES A SENSATION.
The speech created a sensa'irn and at its
conclusion the senators rose en masse and
enthusiastically cheered the orator.
M. Leon Say moved that the speech be
printed and posted in public places through
out the country. It was unanimously de
cided that Sty’s motion should not be voteij
on until the next sitting.
Premier Flouquet remarked that the
speech of Challemel-Lacour might bo
analyzed as an aot of repentance and an not
of good faithf and Challomel-Laconr had
urged that France should look to the right
for salvation, j
Several senators protested against this
word.
FLOQUET ASKS FORBEARANCE.
M. Floquet asked for a few moments for
bearance. Continuing, he said, that he had
not solicited the power which had been
imposed upon him, but daring his tenure of
office lie had tried to efiect a concentration
of parties on the left. The cabinet’s policy
had been wise and republican.
M. Floquet at this point suddenly left the
tribune. His action caused general aston
ishment.
Leon Say warmly approved Challomel-
LacouFs speech. He said he regretted the
reply made by M. Floquet, and declared that
the premier had not risen to the occasion,
A ORBAT UPROAR ENSUES.
A great uproar thereupon ensued.
M. Tolaiu defended the policy of the min.
istry and contended that the whole evil was
caused by tlte conservatives refusing to ad

M. Floquet announced that he would, if
necessary, introduce new legislation to com
bat the Boulanger danger.
The House arose amid great excitement,

I THE M0USEC0MES FORTH.
London, Dec. 20—Lord Salisbury in a PURPOSES OF BIRMINGHAM TARIFF
speech at Scarborough last night dwelt upon
the progress the liberal unionist were
making and rejoiced over the impossibility
of their re-uniting with Mr. Gladstone’s
party.
Lord Saii.bnry said the ministry had no
intention of entangling the country in a new
Soudan expedition, bat they could not aban
don Saakim. The English, Egyptian and
Turkish ministries were unanimously of the
opinion that Sunkini must not be aban
doned. Lord Salisbury continued:
“As long ns the Khedive desires it we
shall maintain tlte Red Sea ports. We are
bound under the promise made by Mr. Glad
■tone’s government to do so. Jhe British
statesman’s first duty is to prevent foreigners
from thinking that every change of govern
ment must necessarily mean the changing of
our foreign policy.
By the treaty of Paris we are bound to up
hold the integrity of the Sultan’s empire.’’

Birmingham, Dec. 20.—The delegation of
manufacturers from this city who visited

The Age-Herald tomorrow will publish
Interviews with several of them in regard to
the object of their visit. They deny that
they contemplate any third party movement
or that their visit had any political signifi

of the President-elect toward the South,
nttd to assure him of their sympathy with
bis position on the tarifl issue. They ex
press themselves as eminently satisfied with
» hat Gen. Harrison had to say to them and
his expressions of kindly feeling for the
South.
Fred Sloes, one of the delegation, re
marked:
"We will not know whether we live in
Indiana or Alabama, so far as the treatment
we receive (9om Oen. Harrison's ndministra
tion is concerned.’’
The Age-Herald will also publish Inter
views with a number of prominent democrats
who did not sign the address to Gen. Harri
son. They are unanimous thnt there is no
wides rend sympathy in Birmingham, or in
any party of tlte South with the proposed

Indianapolis, Ind., Dee. 19.—Hon
Thomas Seddon and his associates compris
ing the committee of Southerners front Bir
mingham, Ala., who called upon Gen. Har
den yesterday ware particular to impress
upon press correspondents that their visit
was non-politieal in the general acceptance
of the term.
Inquiry, however, iutt> the causes and s ip—
cumstanrea leading to their visit aud the
formulation of the address they presented to
the President-elect, disposes the fact that be
neath this endorsement of protection doc
trines by the oapitalists of Alabama lies hid
den what may prove to be a great political
project. It is believed that the in rveinent
embodies a programme for the founding of
a new political party in the Southern states,
the leading spirits of which shall be the
business element, especially the manufac
turers.
ONE ON THE INSIDE TALKS.
Said one of the committee:
“We regard the Solid South as a thing of
the past. It is gone forever. The election
of General Harrison and the certainly of the!
admission of two or three new republican
states, strips the South of her fotnter power
in national politics. The break up is upon
us; we ptust look to arrangingnewiines ami
iu doing so we propose to make new
alliances and to bring about a set 1 lenient of
the perplexing race issue.”
A SECRET CIRCULAR ISSUED.
It is learned that the original secret call
issued about Nov. 20 and sent to about one
hundred of the leading manufacturers, cap
italists and business men of Alabama has
never been published. An examination cf
this call is of interest. It sets forth the ad-
vautages to be secured by acquiescence in
the verdiot of the people for protection. It
deprecates and rebels from a further con
tinuation of the political supremacy in the
South of what it terms “Bourbon rule.”
A NEW PARTY PROPOSED.
Lastly it outlines au ingenious plan for
the creation of a new and independent
Southern parly, whose founders and follow
ers shall institute political warefare against
“Bourbon rule.” It calls the negro to its
aid to save it from political death. When
they, the “Bourbons,” shall be compelled to
call for the negro Vote in state aud local
elections, from that moment says the secret
called fair elections in the South are secure,
and political disfranchisement ceases.
THE NBW PARTY AND THE NEGRO.
The new party will not antagonize the
colored race or drive them from its member-
ship, hnt it will be organized almost entirely
by while men who expect no support to
speak of from the negro at the outset. Pro
tection and fair elections are to he the cor
ner stones of tho new party, and its
charter members are men of such
unbounded wealth and influence that the
movement assumes au important aspect.
