THE HARM IHILL. KILLING. How ""lie onict-ra Nabbi-d The Negro Wanted Iu Cleveland A neat capture was that made yester day afternoon wheu deputy sheriffs ar rested and jailed Lawsou Howard, a colored man wanted in Cleveland county on a charge of murder.

Washington, Feb. 1(5 The rumors concerning I be alleged action of tbe Sen ate s'lb-commiltee on finance on the sugar schedule ot the tann bill caused some commotion about the capitol. The rumor was that sugar was to be left on the free list. Upon the authority of a member of the suh committee, the posi tive statement is made that the commit tee has come to no conclusion regarding the sugar schedule and that there is no foundation for the statement that sugar has been or would be put on the free list. This Senator also said that until definite information was received from the Treas ury Department as to the lull effect of the ' ilson hill, as it stunds, nothing will be done. The members of the sub-committee have been notified by both Senators White a- d Cuffery ol Louisiana, that miles mgar was taxt-d they would aid in defeating the whole bill.
