The men are all rough, hardy looking fellows, typical mountaineers, of hardly average intelligence. They are all younj*. the average .age of the sixteen being but 22 years, and the youngest 17. The Russell-county men, it is understood, attribute their crime to drink. They -are apparently quiet, inoffensive mountain eers, and are expected to be good prison ers. The men were 'neatly but plaanly dressed, and showed considerable feeling as they realized";' the- fate in store lor them. The men were given their convict ga.rb yesterday, and will be examined and assigned to cells and tb work in a day- or two. ' . Ratliffc's. crime was particularly re volting.

MIDDLESBORO', KY., February 13.— Although the scene of the fight yes terday between the Sheriff's ' posse and Lee Turner's men is less than four miles from this city, it is still impossi ble to ascertain the exact casualties on the Turner side. It is known that nine men, all told, are dead, but it is not yet known definitely how many men were in the log cabin when -the officers' made the attack and burned it, and it may be that several were killed or wounded and were consumed in the flames. These who escaped retired to the Cumberland moun tains and are still defiant. The dead are Deputy-Sheriff Charles Cecil, Posseman John Doyle, and the fol lowing mountaineers: Charles Dye (ne gro), Marsh Wilson, Perry "Watson, Frank Johnson (bartender), Mike Welsh, Jim Prado, and Joe Hopper. There are reports of wounded Turner men being carried into the mountains. ■MANY' MURDERS NEAR THE HUT. Numerous, murders have for years been reported as having been committed In and about the noted log hut, which was surrounded by. a barricade, thirty feet high, and there are general expressions of satisfaction over its destruction. •' A month ago, some mules owned by Turner were levied upon because of a debt due Giles Colson. A week ago, Tur ner, with a bodyguard, went to Virginia, where the mules had . been taken, and regained them. While escaping, Boore •McCreary, one of Turner"* it!uos, was mortally '.wounded. Yesterday afternoon, Deputy-Sheriff Thompson, of Bell county, swore in a posse of fifty citizens of Mid dlesboro', to arrest Turner and the men implicated in the Virginia raid. Turner heard of -this, and gathered the moun taineers into his fortress for his defence. THE BATTLE OF,' WEDNESDAY. When the posse arrived a demand for surrender was. refused, and 'firing began at once. :" Deputy-Sheriff Cecil was killed in front of Turner's gate. John Doyle,: a member : of the posse, endeavored to se cure the body, and was shot dead.; En raged by this, the posse set fire to the wooden fortress. The ; flames spread rapidly and a steady stream, of 1)1111613 was- poured into the barricade, resulting in the known death of seven other men. Finally, a : number of ' Turner men fled! to the mountains. - Trouble is expected, however, before any arrests are made on j the charge of murdering Cecil or. Doyle. Lee Turner and his brother,- with a large force, are at the ruins of "the Quarter-House" to-day, and will allow" no one from -Middlesboro'.'; to pass : to the ;Mirigo mines or elsewhere. .- Meanwhile, ' the oflicers '■ are reticent as to their next move. • , /■' . ."• TURNER.'

C, February. 13.— The House to-day unanimously adopted a resolution prOposim? an amendment to the Constitution " of ■ the United States providing for the election of senators "oy direct^ popular; vote. There ■'" was : no de mand for -time ; to debate the resolution. This, is the fourth time; the House has adopted a similar resolution. Two; bills, of general importance were passed by the'. House , to-day, the remain-^ der of the time. being devoted to min6r business. ..'.. One -was : a Senate bill to prc vido for the payment of claims of, Con federate officers and Soldiers; whose horses, ... side-arms, and -baggage - were taken- from .them.by Unibn soldiers, con trarj- to the terms^of the surrender of Generals. Lee ajid Johnston. The amount to>bo paid under the bill was limited to $50,000. - _•- ' • ' .'..,■ - The other bill was -to confer, upon the Spanish Claims Commission authority to £?end for persons and papers, and to pun ish, for contempt. ' Bills were also: passed to transfer Car roll county," Ga., from . the northwestern division of the Northern District of Geor gia to the Northern District, and to con struct a life-saving: station at Boguc in let,. N.C. -: : PACIFIC CABLE. M.r. Corliss,"'6f Michigan, who is the-au thor of a bill for -the government cable from San- Francisco to Manila, delivered a speech in opposition to the laying of such a cable by a private corporation. He spoke "earnestly in 'opposition to Con gress's: 1 yielding ■• coiicessioris to "private cable monopolies, .'notably ' the Commer cial Cable Company, .controlled by the MacKay-Bennctt forces, and" dwelt em phatically on the importance of the United States' operating; its own cable lines. * - ' . .-r ■' j "The right to construct cable lines,'' he said, "is an inherent right of the r.a tion's. No one has a right. to lay a cable, without permission : of Congress. There is.no law in existence under which cable lines may bo laid." * : ■ Mr. Corliss attacked the., proposals of the .Commercial Cable ..Company.' as in tended to establish a foreign cable mo nopoly. " ; ' SENATE PROCEEDINGS. While' no definite .agreement has been reached, a vote upon the Philippine tariff bill in the Senate seems to be in sight. It appears^ likely, judging from a. discus sion of the subject late in to-day's ses sion, that a vote may be had' next week, although the matter is yet involved in j some uncertainty. Mr. Teller,' 'bf Colorado, concluded his speech: to-day. He urged "strongly that the Filipinos be given the -fullest possible measure of self-government, the United States simply maintaining a protectorate over the islands. He said he would pre fer that this government should with draw absolutely 'and without' condition,, than that the present war should be con tinued. Mr. Teller said that as a solu tion of the. Philippine trouble he would send to, the islands a commission of prom inentiable, and liberal men, to say to the Filipinos that they,' should -have the kind of government 'tiiej'v.'anted. except>tha? they could not; become citizens of the United States. He urged that the com mission say to them that they need not maintain an army, or a navy, and that the United States would protect them from : foreign invasion. '-'It would be a protectorate I should apply to the Philippines," said Mr. Teller, "and I believe it would be satisfactory to the Filipinos." JUSTICE TO PACIFIC COAST. Mr. Mitchell, of Ores'jn, delivered a ca,:ref ully-prepared speech in support of his- amendment* to -reduce the tariff duties upon. Philippine, products coming into this country, to 50 per cent, of the Dingley rate,' maintaining 1 that Congress owed this concession to the Pacific Coast States, as well; as to the.- Philippines themselves. ..Mr. Mitchell said: "If the' policy was enforced in the -last Congress.- of permit tins the products- of Porto Rico to come into the United, States at S3. per cent, reduction of the rates of duty imposed by the Dingley act, . and later on entirely free, and this all largely .in the interest of the trade and commerce of the people of the Atlantic States, as well as of the people of Porto Rico, then, upon what of right or justice ,or must the people^ of" the Pacific Coast States pay the same rates on' Philippine products coming : ;into .this oountry, .' tnat ' are imposed by the Dingley act? Why , impose one rule on our insular . posses sions, in the Atlantic ocean, and another: on our possessions in the Pacific ocean? What occult force, if any, is operating on the Congress of the United States.' and ; this, too," without Congress's seem ingly being conscious of the fact, which seems" to compel the nation's parliament to arrive at. such absolutely contractory "conclusions?" ,' . - . SUGAR-BEET INDUSTRY. ■Mr. Mitchell warned Congress: against • Bti-ikinsr down,. the sugar-beet: industry, and declared : . for. the "development of the American merchant marine. The. Philippine bill will not beconsid-; ered to-morrow, or on Monday, the Senate liaving. made special orders for both of thosa days." V THE BRIDE OF ROCKY 11ILL. Jlurriiise of ..3lr.
