Hanged by a Louisiana Mob for Distributing Election Circulars to the Colored People. New Orleans, June 17. George Sway see, a colored ex-member of the Louisiana Legislature, was lynched in the parish of East Felcinia yesterday. He had been arrested charged with being a dangerous and suspicious character, but was taken by a mob from officers of the law and hanged. Swaysee, it is thought, was distributing circulars to negroes in tho parish, advising them not to take part in the election for State Senator, to fill a vacancy, which comes off to-morrow, as it was purely a Democratic factional fight. A short time ago several leading white citizens of East Feliciana sent an open letter to John A. Morris, manager of the Louisiana lottery, warning him against attempting to send emissaries into that section to influence votes for the lottery, and it is supposed that Swaysee was sent on a mission of that sort. Swaysee was charged with having murdered Judge Winter in West Feliciana parish fourteen years ago. Of late he has been on the laborers' Toll of the customhouse in this city. He was one of tho most intelligent negroes in the State. DAILY WEATHER UULLETIN. Local Forecasts.

ABOUT READY TO TALK TARIFF

Consideration of the McKinley Bill Com pleted by the Senate Committee. Reductions on Sugar, Tobacco, Farm Products and Cotton Bagging How Indiana Is Affectcd by the Cut on the Latter Article, Varying Views of Congressmen on the Wilson Original-Package Amendment, Opinions of Members of the House Judiciary Committee Prolable Fate of the Fed- : eral Election Bill in the Senate. THE TARIFF 11ILL FINISHED, To De Reported To-Day Changes Made and ; Probable Length of Debate. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jnne 17. The McKinley tariff bill is to be reported from the committeo on finance to the Senate to-morrow and ordered printed. The committee will not submit its report under a day or two, : and it is understood that the report will consist only of an explanation of why the various changes in tho bill were made, and nono of the usual arguments in favor of a protective tariff will occupy the report. It has been customary to submit a political argument with tariff bills. The Senate committee has contented itself with making reductions of the duties fixed by the McKinley bill. The duty of about a half cent a pound upon the low grades of sugar, is the one important increase over the propositions of the McKinley bilL Among the most important reductions made in the bill as it will come frr.m the committee are the removal of the proposed increase of duty on tobacco, loaving it as at present; a sliding scale of about 0 per cent, on barley and ecmo other farm products, the duty upon which was almost doubled by the McKinley bill, and a cut of about SO per cent, upon the duty on cotton hagging. It is likely that the bill will not be called up in the Senate for debate before the first of July, as it is the desire of the appropriations committee to get all the pending appropriation bills out of the way before the end of the pressnt month, which is the end of the fiscal year. The debate on the tariff will be very long and will probably last until the end of August It is generally understood that the Democratic Senators have entered into a pledge among themselves to keep up an almost endless supply of tariff eloquence in order that the Senate may be so thoroughly tired out before the end of the debate as to be unwilling to take up the subject of a federal election bill. 1 1 An Indiana Interest Affected. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 17. The Senate committee on finance, in its reduction of duties fixed in the McKinley bill upon various articles, has taken a step that adversely affects an industry in Indiana. The present tariff bill fixes a duty of about 8 cents a yard, (12 cent a pound) upon cotton bagging, which is worth 0 ccntror less a equarcryafd and about 4 cents a yard (2 cents a pound) for bagging sold at 6 cents or more per yard. The McKinley bill reduced the duty to 1 310 cent a yard for the article worth less than C cents per yard and 145 cent per yard for that worth 6 cents or more per yard. The Senate committee on finance has reduced the figures fixed by the McKinley bill so as to make the first grade pay 1 310 cent and the second grade lj cent per yard. The largest cotton bagging industry in the United States is locate at Muncie, and it has stimulated flax culture throughout the State very greatly during the past six or eight years. One of the first factories establisned in tho country was located at Muncie by James Boyce about fifteen years ago. He started upon a small capital an'd imported a small quantity of jute butts, which he Used with home-grown flax. From that plant he enlarged till there were fifty or sixty flaxmills throughout the State in operation as feeders for that and other cotton-bagging factories. The factory at Muncie is now employing several hundred persons, and is one of the greatest industries in the State. The ground upon which the Senate committee says it reduced the duty upon cotton bagging as fixed in the McKinley bill,' is that there is a cotton-bagging trust formed, which has bulled the market and caused a great howl from the cottonproducing States. THE ORIGINAL-PACKAGE MEASURE. Points Tbat Trouble the House Judiciary Committee Too Much State's Rights. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 17. There seems to be a very wide divergence of opinion held by members of tho House committee on judiciary respecting the propriety of adopting the Wilson original-package amendment to the interstate-commerce law. Some of the stanchest prohibitionists in the House are not so eager for the amendment as they were some time since, believing that its adoption will result in the final overthrow of the prohibition law, and then the hish-license principle appears to be ginning ground so rapidly that the amendment may fail in the House, even though it should be reported. The most weighty objection laid against the Wilson amendment is tbat it carries the States back to the days of confederation, and gives them too much State's rights power; that if it should be adopted there would be a con- , stant centralization of power in the States, eventually resulting disastrously, to the federal interests of the country. So far the proceedings of the committee have been confined to a critical analysis of m existing laws. Supreme Court decisions and constitutional provisions, and the indications are that Beveral sessions of the committee will be so consumed. A number of the members, perhaps a majority, are not satisfied that the last decision of the Supreme Court was -a correct interpretation of constitutional law; but as there is a feeling that the committee is dealing with one of the most delicate and complex problems, involving the respective rights of the national and State governments, ever considered by it, a vry conservative spirit is manifested at all stages of the discussion. Toe only evidence of the ultimate purpose of the committee is to be found in the willingness of many of its members to allow the States to exercise, within constitutional limitations, control over tho liquor traffic, if this can bo effected by an addition to or amendment of existing law. MINOR MATTERS. Sundry Civil Appropriation TJI11 Passed by the House Back Pay Aruendnent. Washington, June 17. After disposing of wine minor measures this morning, the House went into committee of the whole on the sundry civil appropriation bill. On motion of Mr. Tracey of New York an amendment was adopted appropriating $41,000 for an electric-lisht plant and a drainage system at Watervliet arsenal. K. Y. The committee then rose and reported the bill to the House. The amendment adopt

The appropriation of $20,000 to refund to Cherokee Indians the expeuse of their removal to the Indian Territory was stricken out. Fending further action, the committee rose and the House adjourned. - After the silver bill had been disposed of in the Senate to-day, the bill for the admission of Wyoming as a State was taken up so as to make it the unfinished business, and the Senate adjourned.

Capitol to-day about tho prospects of the federal cleotion bill, which was adopted by the House Republican caucus, becoming a law. It is conceded that the measure will go through the House under the spur of the caucus, but there are few who believe it can go through tho Senate. The Democrats intend to talk it to death if possible, while it is an open secret that several Republican Senators oppose it upon general principles, and especially because they believe it sectional.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Huntington,' W. Va., June 17. The Indiana Republican editorial excursion party, composed of hinety persons, on a special train, arrived here at C p. m. on its way to Richmond, Va., having left Cincinnati at 8 A. M. on the Chesapeake it Ohio road. Owing to a washout at Maysville, Ky., a diversion was made in the route, through the kindness of the officials of the Kentucky Central, by way . of Lexington. Tho party remained for two hours at Lexington, a pleasant reception being given by the Mayor and City Council. The trip through tho beautiful blue-grass region and the picturesque hill counties of Kentucky has been greatly enjoyed. Arrival at White Sulphur Springs, where the party was to stop over night, has been delayed several hours. The party is headed by W. H. Smith, Indiana correspondent of the Commercial Gazette, and wife, who are on their bridal trip, having been married yesterday. The bride is Miss Frybarger, daughter of Colonel Fry barger, of Conuers ville. The Colored Troops Must Walt. Augusta, Ga., June 17. The negro troops of the State are enraged because they cannot have a State encampment like the white companies are now eujoymg in Augusta, and are using some bitter language toward those who have charge of the encampment here. At first it was intended to have the white troops hero for one week and then let the colored troops take possession for a week. The appropriation is so small that it was found impossiblo to do this, and so there was no alternative but to leave the colored companies out this year. Next year, it's hoped there will be money enough appropriated to enable the colored troops to receive the benefit of camp life. Millers' National Convention. . Minneapolis. Minn., June 17. The National Millers' Association opened its fourteenth annual convention to-day, with four hundred delegates in attendance. President . L. Greenleaf delivered the annual address, and the forenoon was devoted to reports of tho executive committees, secretary and treasurer. In the afternoon the association discussed export bills of lading, and finally resolved to give their Hour to the steamship line that would make the quickest delivery. The discussion occupied the whole afternoon, and at times was very spirited. . Will Supply the Country with Tin. Chicago, June 17. Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota is in the city. He has recently visited the tin mines iu Dakota, and savs in recard to them: 'Enouirh tin will be produced in Dakota next year to supply the entire United States.

Pittsburg, Pa., June 17. By the explosion of tire-damp in the lilesville coalmines, near Monongahela City, to-day, Capt. Samuel Carney and ' his two sons, William and Daniel, were te.Tibly burned.

Their injuries, however, are not believed to be fatal. The Hash was caused by the opening of a fissure in the roof of the room where the Carneys were working. An explosion of a Bteain cylinder in the Tod-mill at Newcastle. Pa., this afternoon, killed William Price, assistant engineer, and injured three othor workmen. The loss of the machinery will reach $10,000, Baltimoke, June 17. Three men, employes in the Barry. Curtis & Company's soap factory, were fatally burned this afternoon by the bursting of a large tank of boiling fat which literally drenched the unfortunate men. Their deaths are momentarily expected. The victims are Hugh Caulfield, aged thirtv-five; John Crowe, aged sixty; J. H. Jacobs (colored), aged thirty. : THE FARM I1ILL DISASTER

FruitlessAttempts of Brave Men to Reach the Thirty-Two Entombed Miners. All Hope Abandoned of GettingThem Out Alive The Fire ia the Pit Growing FiercerAir Passage Closed with a Brick Wall, Dunbar. Pa., June 17. All night long the rescuing parties remained at the mouth of the manhole at Farm Hill mine, but their efforts were fruitless, and when daylight broke upon them they were no nearer tho unfortunate men entombed in the burning mine. At 5 o'clock last evening all hope of rescuing tho imprisoned miners alive was abandoned. Efforts were made to enter tho burning slope through the Mahoney and the Fergueon mines. It was found impossiblo to get near tho men through the former, owing to the formation of the slope, and in tho Ferguson pit the air was so bad that it was impossible to travel any distance. Under these conditions the most&nnine of the workers yielded, and it was t ' en determined to cut off all fresh air and let the mine burn itself cut, that the bodies of the men might be recovered. At the first drift a solid wall of brick, well plastered, was built across the opening. Material was wheeled down the entrance to where the men were at work and an air fan was set at work, supplying fresh air to the rescuers. As a worker, the reporter was enabled to reach the point where the men were working. Traces of fire-damp still remained in the air. The effects were felt in an aching of the head and a partial loss of speech. There was little to be seen. Men were working like beavers to finish the wall. The only light was obtained from "Davy lamps." There was no wasting of breath in idle talk. All the strength of the m&n vras needed in building the barrier. Through the interstices of the wall, far off to tho left, could be seen a heavy cloud of smoke, occasionally pierced by flames. Back of this wall t of fire lay the bodies ox' the workers' relatives and companions. At 10 o'clock this morning there was very little change at the mine, except that the fire was fiercer, the smoke blaoker and the despair of the survivors deeper than ever before. The fight for the dead was kept up by the living all night, but the early gray of morning only found the rescuing party driven further hack from the death chambers, and they could not penetrate within five hundred feet of the place they had reached last night. Early this morning Martin MarKey, pit boss of the Anchor mines, made a daring attempt to reach the right drif tings of the Farm Hill mines from the Mahoney entrance, one and a half mile away across the hills. HO crawled over drifts and fallen slate' to within ci.o . hundred yards of the fatal chambers, and sounded again and again, but listened for a response in vain.. The men were either smothered or were fighting the fire that was now steadily encroaching on their narrow territory and Markey, cut and bruised, abandoned the hopeless quest of seeking an answer from 100 yards of solid dumb slate. The sight about the pit's mouth is all tho more pitiable because of the twentyfonr hours of anguish that has rolled -over the heads of the relatives and friends of the entombed miners, and hundreds stand steadily at the mouth gazing wretchedly at the black columns of smoke that seem to grow thicker every hour, indicating that the coal was now burning instead of the timber and roofing. Cries for volunteers to relieve the workers were constant and responses came before the sentence had been finished for there were no idlers. Thev are telling sad stories about the mine to-day, and one of the most touching is that of a man named Kelly and old man Hays. The latter, it seems, had safely carried Kelly from tho pits in Lancashire. Eng., three successive times, and Hays bore terrible scars to show the fight he had with nre for the sake of bis friend. When Hays rushed into the roino, after tho ex plosion yesterday, to find his son, whose unguarded lamp had eet the damp on fire. he fell dead within a stone's throw of his boy's body. Then there came crawling in after him a gaunt, blackened specter, who gathered his scorcbed form tenderly in his arms and Kelly carried all that was mortal of his three times savior to the open air. and fell burned and blind. Later reports say that the mine is in the entire charge of Mine Inspector Iveiahler. and he is making strenuous efforts to enter from the Maboney drifts. They tell tho women and children that their people may be alive in a distant chamber, but they scarcely hope, and certainly do not believe. it themselves. Coroner Holbrook is here this morn intr. and viewed the two dead bodies. but refused to bold an inquest or render a verdict until the other bodies are recovered, and no one seems to be able to guess when that will be. An air-fan, to furnish ventilation to the mine, will be put in operation this afteruoon in the Ferguson pit, as work will also be commenced there. There seems to be many views as to the cause-of tho fire, and the proper place, if any, for the blame. Coroner Holbrook has appointed three miners and two citizens on the jury. He placed the miners thero be cause they were the greatest sufferers, and because they wanted a snow if tho remedy could be applied. The mine is so located that Hooding the fire is impossible, and smothering it means certain death to tho men below, provided any are living. Nearly all the mines in this region are closed down, and men, money and provisions are ponrintr in on every train. Some slight hope was raised at noon by the return of Walter Mc.CIeary, one of tho rescuing party, who reported that far down in the slope ho beard a mule braying as if in great uistress. xuis leaun 10 too ueuei luat me men may yet be living. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Farm Hill pit showed but a faint wreath of smoke, as if the hre within were burning feebly. From that time, however, the smoke grew gradually thicker and heavier, until now (l) P. m.) it is belching from the mouth like a torrent ten times blacker than yesterday. The reason given for this is that work had been commenced in the Mahoning mins. and seventy feet had already been torn down by tho volunteer squad, which gave more and more ventnation to the Hill mine. a this place is honeycombed with drifts and headings. This violent draft leads again to the hope that the men imprisoned have reached tne extreme limit oz tne chambers toward the Mahoning mine, and aro patiently waiting there for life or dcatb. I here is no eilort being made at the farm Hill mine to offer relief, as the heat and smoke lrom the pit mouth is now unbearable, and it is expected to break into a flame at any moment, when the shops and small buildings surrounding will go at once. All efforts at rescue are now being made at the Mahoning mine, alone, as the Ferguson is so full of smoke tbat work is impossiDie. S .. . Murder mi Louisiana Klectlon. Bayou Sara, La., June 17.

VICTORY FOB SILVER EXTRE3IISTS. Free-Coinage Bill Finally Passed by the Sea ate Text of the Measure. Special to the IaOlanspolis Journal. Washington, June 17. Free coinaga wins. There is to be unlimited free coin age of American silver if the bill which h&a passed the Senate is adopted by the House) and signed by tho President. TheSenato was the sceno ot a very lively action this altcrnoon from tho moment Mr. Wolcott of Colorado took the floor to "round npw tho single-standard men and severely criticiso tho attitude of Secretary Windom toward silver coinage, until the final vote on the amended bill was taken. The galleries began to fill as eoon as Mr. Wolcott commenced to deliver his maiden effort, and when ho had finished there was a hearty sound of ap plause. The seats above and on the floor were all occupied, but a large portion of the noise made came from the Senators. Not only did the free-coinage amendment, which had been pushed by Mr. Teller, of Colorado, succeed, but an amendment offered by him making the certificates. which were to be issued for the purchase of bullion, a full legal tender for the payment of all publio and private debts. The freecoinage amendment was adopted by a vote of forty-three to twen ty-four.' There was, in the parlance of the West, "a hustling to get on the band wagon," as amendment after amendment was proposed and voted upon. Senators who had proclaimed openly against placing silver upon the same footing with gold and legal-tender notes seemed to be eager to vote for the amendments elevating silver to tho highest possible standard. After several of the amendments were adopted Mr. Edmunds of Vermont, who led the op position to free coinage and a full legaltender provision, arose and declared that he was disgusted with the whole proceed ings, desired to wash his hands of it. and was willing to turn it over to the Democratic party, where it belonged. This precipitated a very lively exchange of sentiment between the Senator from Ver mont and Mr. Plumb, but when quiet was restored other amendments were proposed and adopted with an increase of majority. the accessions coming from the Kepublican ranks. So overwhelming were tho votes nnon the amendments that it was freely stated by the strongest single-standard men on the Kepublican side that only a free-coinage bill could pass the House, as many free-coinage men who had been coerced, when the bill was be fore that body a short time since. would feel at liberty, in yiew of the largemajorities in the Senate, to consult their own convictions, and be guided in accord ance. The friends of free coinage givo Senator Teller the credit of having wrought the wonders which were shown by the votes in the Senate to-day. He was the first man to come out boldly for free coin age, and continued to fight for it last week when it looked as though a majority of tho entire senate, from the Kepublican side. would sign a pledge to vote against freo coinage. Mr, Teller never lost faith in tho ultimate success of his position, and be was verv heartily congratulated when the) bill was finally- passed this afternoon. Mr. Plumb of Kansas was also a prominent laborer in the vineyard of free coinage. Tho following is the bill as it now stands. Section 1. That from and after the date of the passage of this act the unit of value in the United (states shall be the dollar, and the same may be coined of 412 grains of standard silver, or ot 25 8-10 crains of standard ol d; and the said coins shall be equally lepra! tender for all debts. public or private; that thereafter any owner of silver or gold bullion mar deposit the same at any mint of the United states to be formed into standard dollars or bars for his benefit and with out charge; 4ut it hall be lawful to refune any deposit of less value than $100, or uny bullion 89 base as to be unsuitable for tho operations of the mint Bee. 2. Tbat the provisions of Section 3 of an act to authorize the coinage of the standard sil ver dollar, and to restore its legal tender charac ter, which became a law Feb. 1', 188, Is hereby mado applicable to the coinage in this act provided for. bee 3. That the certincatea provided for in the second section of thi set, and all silver and gold certificates already issued, shall be of denominations of not less than $1 or more than $100; and such certificates shall be redeemed In coin of standard value. A sufficient snm to carry out the provisions of this act is hereby appropnatea out ot anv money iu me .Treasury not otherwise appropriated. The provision ia Section 1. of the act of Feb 28, 1878, entitled "An act to authorize the coinage of the standard' silver dollar and to restore its legal tender character." which requires the Secretary of thesTreasury to purchase at the market price thereof cot less than two million dollars of silver bullion per month, nor more than four million dollars' worth, per month of such bullion, is hereby repealed. Sec. 1. That tho certincatea provided for In the act, and all silver and gold certificate already issued shall be receivable for all taxes and dues to the UnitcdStateof every description, and shall be a legal tender for the payment of all debts, publio and private. Hec 5. The owners of bullion deposited for coinage shall have the opiwrtunity to receive coin or its equivalent In tho certitteates provided for in this act, and such bullion shall be subsequently coined. Section 6 provides for covering into the Treasury the fund held for the redemption of national bank circulation. Th title of the bill was amended so as to read: "An act to provide for the free coinage of gold and silver bullion and for other purposes' Opinions to-night as to the nrobable action of the House on the Senate silver bill differ very widely. There is a belief on tho pt?rt of some tbat before any action is taken a caucus will be held to decide upon the course to be pursued. There is a sentiment even among friends of the bill as it passed the Senate tbat it will get into conference, and that out of that conference will be evolved a bill providing for tho purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver monthly, the certificates issued in payment therefor to be legal tender and not redeemable in bvillion. Such a measure, it is generally believed, would receive the President's approval. The free-coinage advocates express the opinion that the House will pass the Senate bill. It is stated by members of the committee on rnlcs that under the rules the silver bill, when it goes to the House, will be placed upon the calendar, and that unless Speakex Keed desires it adopted it will not be considered at this session. Mr. Keed is committed against free coinage and the legaltender provision. DKIJATE AND VOTE ON THE DILL. Sir. Woleotf Closing- Sjeech ud Mr. Ed luumls's Protest Action on Amendments.
