ELECTION EVE STORIES PASS. So Desperate Are Bryan Democrats That They Prepare Their Ex- cuses for Defeat. CHICAGO, Iir, Nov. 2.—Weather con- ditions and predictions made by the Gov- ernment experts took precedence over Presidential politics at National campaign headquarters here to-day. There were * only a few of the Democratic and Repub- lican leaders at their desks. The day was not without its liveliness, however. Telegrams passed to and fro from Democratic headquarters relating to alleged discoveries of plots to commit . election frauds with marked ballots and . to corrupt vofers with money. Chairman Hanna did not get any telegrams of that character. Republicans usually hope and pray for . fine weather in order to get out their full vote, but according to the prognostications of Professor Garriott of the local weather bureau there will be rain in this city and State, Indiana and Wisconsin, to be fol- lowed by cooler and fair weather, but he does not say whether the improvement * will come before cr after the closing of the volls. Professor Moore, the nead of the Weather Bureau at Washington, takes a mare hopeful view of the conditions which | may prevail in the middle Western Stetes | during the hours the polls are open. He | believes there will be no serious interfer- | ence with the travel of voters by wind, | rain or'storms. ‘Chairman Hanna and his associates | -.who remained at the headquarters to-day | expressed their indifterenc- as to what | the weather would be, saying that Mec- Kinley would be elected by such an over- | whelming vote that they could afford to lose some stay-at-homes on account of | any bad weather that might come. Mr. Hanna received a few final telegrams of a chéerful tenor from the Pacific Coast. | The chairman of the Oregon State Com- mjftee wired that the poll of the State lest comple ted showed 4500 majority for cKinlry, and that the State is abso- lntely sure, The California State chair- man telegraphed that the State could be surely depended upon to cast its electoral vote for McKinley. From the chairman of the Washington State Committee came 4 message that the State might go for Bryan, being very much in doubt, but that the Republicans would elect their State and Congressional tickets and carry -the Legislature. Executive Committeeman Leland, who bas been in Kansas for some time, wired Mr. Hanna_guaranteeing the electoral . vote of that State for McKinley. Mr. Hanna received congratulations _from prominent Chicago and other citi- | zens as to his management of the cam- ‘paign #nd all who called at headquarters to say good-by to Major McKinley's .right-hand man were positive in their belief that victory had practically been | won. Mr. Hanna had nothing new to add | “to his predictions when he took the night train for his home in Cleveland. After voting he will go to Canton to-morew * and return in time to receive the election returns in Cleveland. Extra precautions have been taken by the police department of this city to se- . cure a [dir election and equal rights to.all voters who come to the polls. Persons | not having business at the polls will be | - kept 100 feet away by the police and the | passageway will be cleared 1or that dis- tance at every booth. The department is determined to close every saloon in the ° city and every entrance will be guarded to Prev_enc secret violation of the election law in this regsrd. The police have been all voters and preserve the peace at all . hazards. Benator Jones sent the following tele- gram to the chairman of each State Com- mitteeto-day: J. Richie, Deput; y United States Marshal, wired me from awrenceville, TIL.: “T. of the Republicans to carry Illinois i}:}oegl.v: official tickets in the hauds of the judge and a8 the voter presents his bailot to be deposited in the balloi-box the judge is to put in & straight Republican ticket in its stead. We bave capiured a man here with 100 tickets and $400 in cash. He has weakened and given the whole plan awey.” This plan will },mubly be attempted througkout your State. t is absolutely necessary that honest men organize vigilance committees in all our coun. ties and townships if possibie for the purpose of preventing the consummation of this il lainy. Please take immediate and vigorous st=Ds to call the attention of the public to this | Pl It seems that the Republicans will hesi- | tate at no villainy to steal the election. Let this be xnown. JAMES K. JoNES. Republican State Chairman Hitch and | National Committeeman Jamieson denied any knowledge of a ’plox to steal Illinois | or any county thereof, and they place no credence in the report from Lawrence- | ville, suspecting that it was only circa- lated as an election-eve dodge, so as ty ex- plain the defeat which they had in store for the Democrats in [llinois to-morrow. The scheme o! passing @ markea baliot is old, they said, and no smart man would try'it. Charrman Hitch telegraphed for a report from Lawrenceville on the allegeo case. Senator Jones received a telegram from Indianaoolis claiming that Indiana would give Bryan 15,000 plurality. Anotner telegram came 10 himn from 8. W. Bedford of crosse, Wis.,, alleging that the superintendents of Wisconsin railroads were changing the runs of their employes s0 that Bryan men could not get time to vote. The silver forces in this city have ar- ranged an election day surprise for their opponents. The law gives to each candi- date on the ballot the right to havea representative in each poiling-place when the count of the ballots begins, but it has been customary for a few representatives of each party only to be present to watch the count and take cognizance of any dis- pute over ballots between cthe judges. The silver people, however, have made secret meteorological forecasters are most uncer- tain about the conditions which will pre- vail in the doub:ful States of the Middle West to-morrow. Recognizing the great importance upon the election’s result of snowstorms, sunshine and good roads, special efforta have been made by the Chief of the Weather Bureau to foretell accurately the conditions. The ominous *low’’ central over Iowa causes concern. 1t is conceded, however, not as bad look- ing as such “lows” usually are, for it bas | hun around twenty-four hours now with- out developing anv damage. o There is absolutely nothing in the weather conditions 1o prevent every | farmer in the New England, Midd.e States | and the South from reaching the poils, however distant, for in these sections the roads are at their best and are sure to_re- main so for several days at least. The mountain_States are also dry, but the western slope of the Mississippi Valley has been thoroughiy soakea in the last three or four days, and even in Kansas and Nebraska teaming is so heavy that another general shower would make very poor roads almost impassable. Tnis state of affairs is worse in Oregon and Washing- i ton than_anywhere else. : There is pretty sure to be rinand per- haps snow in Western Michigan, Wiscon- sin_ and Minnesota, with shawers in not sufficient intensity to aeter ardent voters from voting in Michizan. But a 200-mile circle, with Springfield, IlL, asa center, the line cutting well into Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky, is.the area | that might be affected by the only “low” | on the United Siates map. Here the Weather Bureau scarps are looking out for squalls. CHICAGO, ILn., Nov.2.—The Weather Bureau issues the following special bulle- tin for Tuesday: : : “G nerally fair weather will prevail in the States of Missouri, Colorado, Wyo- ming and Kansas. Rain or snow will fall in Minnesota and Montana. In Iowaand Missouri rain will be followed by fair weather in central snd western portions Tuesday. Rain is indicated for Wisconsin, Upper Mic igan and Western Lower Michigan. In lllinois and Indiana show- ers will occur, with prospects for fair weather in Illinois Tuesday afternoon.” e UTsH 15 CONCEDED. But the Republicans Will Legislatuzre. SALT LAKE, Urag, Nov. 2.—To-night the Democratic silver and Republican and Populist fusion managers claim Bryan will carry the State by 35,000 majority, and the Democrats claim King’s election to Congress by 8000 majority. The Demo- crats and Populists claim they will have forty-five members of the Legislature out of sixty-one, and that & Democrat will be elected to succeed Arthur Brown as United Senator. The McKinley men concede that the State will go for Bryan, but say the ma- jority will be very much smaller than claimed py the fusion people. Chairman Holmes of the Republican State Committee ciaims that Holbrook will be elected to Congress by a small ma- jority and that the combined gold and sil- ver Republicans will have a majority of the Legislature, but is not overconfident in either assertion. The fact that sample ballots were dis- tributed in nearly all the Mormon meet- ing houses oa Sunday evening by the bishops, marked in favor of the Republi- can candidates for the Legislature leads to the conclusion that the Mormon church wants & Republican Legislature and this isa strong point for that party. In these ballots the Presidential electors and can- didates for Congress were not marked. Lol dEEt E Control the THE SThUGGLE IN IDAHO, Fusionists Claim to Have 20,000 Fotes for Bryan. BOISE CITY, IpaHo, Nov.2.—In Idaho the Democratic, silver Republican and Populist fusionist claim 20,000 votes for the Bryan electors and accord -the Mc- Kinley electors 6000, while the McKinley people ciaim 10.000. In regard to the legislative ticket it appears as if the ereater part of the strength of the Mc- Kinleyites would be thrown to the Demo- cratic-Populist fusion ticket leaving the silver Republicans to go it alone. The reason of this strange alignment is to de- feat Dubois for Senator. To-night Dubois’ friends claim forty-five out of the seventy members of the Legislature while the combination against him say he will not have more than twenty-five. For Congress Borah’s iriends, the silyer Republicans, seem the most confident. They claim the A. P. A. yote will go to Borah. Morrison, th McKinleyite, also claims_the A. P. A. vote. Gunn, the Demo-Populist candidate, antagonized the A. P. A. people and he will be scratched by them. If the A. P. A. unite oa Mor- rison or Borah the probability is they can elect either and the chances se=m to favor Borah. It is claimed thata large propor- tion of the Mormon vote will go to Mor- rison. —_——— FAVORABLE TU REFUBLICANS, That Is the Trend of Semtiment inm the State of Nebraska. LINCOLN, NEsg., Nov. 2.—Eliminating the effect of William J. Bryan’s trip through Nebraska to-day, which none deny has been a factor in his benefit, the political trend of the State for the past thirty-six hours has been favorable to the Republicans. For this condition of affairs the Populist supporters of Mr. Brvan have men in their own ranks to blame. The meetings of to-day and Saturdav nignt were marked at & number of towns by publican speakers and burning Republican banners, and the reaction has set in. Aside from this there has been nothing to cbange the estimate either way. The vote will be close in any event, and it is ques- | tionable if the result on even heads of tickets will be definitely known before Thursday. If be ting is any indication, Bryan men have a trifle the bestofit. No large wagers have been made, or odds offered by either side. Mr. Bryan’s home county is claimed by the Republicans by 2000; but his supporters insist that it is far too large. i e 10WA Is KEPUBLICAN, But Democrats and Populists ¥et Claim the State. DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 2.—At 10 o’clock to-night the local weather predic- tion‘is for the State of Iowa generally fair and warmer. The barometer is rising and stands at 30. Prospects are for excellent weather throughout the State to-morrow. Latest cluims irom Republican head- quarters are that the Siate will go 75,000 plurality or about 65,000 majority for Mc- Kinley.” The Democrats and Populists, who have fused, cia'm ihe State for Bryan by from 15,000 to 25,000. The registration is the lar:est ever known in ail the cities and towns, and the poll will be 25,000 larger than ever before, ragae IN THE GUBERMNATORIAL RACE. It Is the Chief Cemter of Interest in Colorado, DENVER, Coro., Nov. 2.—There has been no change in the political situation arrangements for thirty men to be at each polling-place when the count begins, one for each candidate, which means an army of 27,000 men, there being over 900 voting precincts in the city. The Republicans have arranged for only the usual number - of watchers, These 27,000 silverites are expécted to have a disiurbing effect on the county and jeopardize the peace of the ?{ulllnx-pluces. On the other hand the epublicans, who have control of the municipal government, have arranged with the Fire Department to bave streams { wdter turned on any obstreperous mob Which may threaten any polling-place. in this State during the past forty-eight hours. The indications are that the Bryan electors will carry the State with 100.000 votes. The Republicans eclaim 45,000 votes will be cast for McKinley. The chief interest of the campaign in this State has centered in the guber- natorial race. Ex-Governor Adams (D.) and Judge Bailey (Pop.), the nomihees of their respective parties for Governor, have made a hot campaign, and to-ni ht both are claiming victory. The betting is slightly in favor of Adams. The weather to-morrow promises to be fine. RS Bribery Is Alleged. — e 4ALL KIADS Ov WEATHER.

LOS ANGELES, Caw., Nov. 2.—At the close of a hotly contested campaign I look for to-morrow to bring a decided victory to the Republican and sound-money forzes in Southern Ualifornia. Republican organization here has been a very complete one. A campaign committee was organized two months ago composed of the chairmen of the auxiliary committee of the State Central Committee, County Central Committee, Sixth District Committee, Federation of Republican Clubs and Business Men’s Sound Money Ciub and three membersof the latter organization. This consolidated committee managed the campaign, and divided the work so that nothing was neglected and nothing done twice. Hundreds of meetings have been held, thorough canvasses have been made, and nearly 2000 men will be on duty at the polls in this city to-morrow under the direction of our organization. Iam confident that the counties south of Tehachapi will give McKinley 5000 plurality; that McLachlan will be re-elected to Congress; that Bulla will be elected State Senator, and that four out of six Republican Assemblymen will be elected in Los Angeles County. Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Bernardino, Orange and Riverside counties will, in my opinion, give McKinley majerities averaging 250 each. San Diego should make a stand off, and Los Angeles will give enough to make up the 5000. This county will cast 35,000 votes, an increase oi 10,000 over that of 1894. This new vote is largely Republican, and I claim three-filths of it in favor of McKinley to two-fifths in favor of Bryan. It is upon this estimate and upon our canvass, made with unusual care, that I base my claims. H. Z.

Edward Dobson, Republican, was also arrested to-nigut for intimidation. e GOING HOME TO VOTE. Federal Secretaries Who Will Hurry Back to Get News at the White House, WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 2—The President will receive news on election night at the White House through the dis- patches of the United Associated Presses and the Western Union, supplemented by private advices from friends. He will have for company in the Cabi- net chamber Secretary Olney, Secretrry Carliste and Secretary Morton. Secretary Lamont, who votes in New York and Postmaster-General Wilson, who votes in Charleston, W. Va., will come direct to Washington after depositing their ballots agamnst the Chicago fres silver ticket. They have all gone home, but expect to vote early to-morrow morning and return to Washington in the early evening. None of the other absent members of the Cabinet will be able to reach tlis city before Wednesday evening. Secretary Herbert votes in Montgomery, Ala.; Sece retary Francis votesin St. Louis and At- torney-Geueral Harmon votes in Cincin- nati. Private Secretary Thurber, who was unable to go home to Michigan at this time, will be in charge of affairs at the ‘White House to-morrow. A number of treasury officials have gone home to vote, among them being Assistant Secretary Wike of Illinois, Assistani Sec- retary Hamlin of Massschusetts, Com- missioner Miiler of West Virginia, Judge Bowler of Ohio, Comptroller Eckels of Iilinois, Treasurer Morgan ot Connecticut and Auditor Baldwin. Assistant Secre- tary Cuitis will go to New York to-night and vote early 10-morrow morning so as to return here in the afternoon in time to sign the official mail of the Treasury De- partment as acting secretary. Assistant Secretary Doe of the War De- partment, who favors the Bryan ticket, is suffering with a severe cold and is unable to leave the city.

Al i PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES. Troops in Keadiness in Kantucky Suppress dny Troubdle. NEW YORK, N. Y., Now. 2—A Louis- ville (Ky.) special says: When State Chairman Roberts closed the Republican headquarters last ni.ht he asserted that MéKinley would carry the State by from 10,000 to 15,000. His private telegram to National Chairman Hanna claimed eight of the eleven Congressmen. The Democrats still claim the State by 20,000. The most impartial give the State to McKinley by 6000 to 7000. About $3000, in small sums, was bet here on the result of the State. itis rumored arrangements have been forwarded to armories recently and every militia company has been put in readiness to see there is no trouble. General Casileman and Governor Brad- ley both denied that troops had been called out to preserve order at the polls. No orders have been received by any military company, but it is known that there was arecent communication between Governor Bradley and General Castleman, who has sent his troops and officers a general order to hola themselves in readiness at short notice. Litile tronble is expected outside the big cities. Mayors have been ordered to quell the slightest disturbance and extra Eoliceman have been sworn in. Saloons ave been ordered closed. e HEARST IM THE SWIM. Joins the Speculators in Betting on the Election. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 2.—The scenes in the corridors of the uptown hotels were exciting to-night, and the Fifth Avenue, Hoffman, Imperial and Bartholdi hotels were thron -ed with the partisans of McKinley and Hobart, and some Bry- anites ventured within their portals with the object of betting upon the result. The Hoffman House lobby, corridor and cafe were thronged with wearers of Bryan badges, who kept up a continuous shout- ing for their favorite. At the Imperial there was a mixed assemblage, and at_the Bartholdi the crowd was thoroughiy Bry- anite. The betting opened 6 to 1 that Bryvan would be defeated, but along toward mid- night 4 and 5 to 1 were the best that conld be had. Colonel Barry Swords bet $1200 to $400 on the general result, taking the Mc- Kinley end; General Powell Clayton' bet $5000 even with a Philadelphia man who would not give his name that Mckinley would receive 150,000 majority in this State. There were a number of other smali bets duriny the evening in the Fifth- avenue Hotel. . R. Hearst wagered $3500 against $6000 that McKinley would not carry Michigau, Ind| and 1llinois. e TEN TO ONE THE ODDS. No Possible Chance to Beat McKinley in Ohio. COLUMBUS, O=ro, Nov. 2—Chairman Caien of the National Democratic State Committee and Chairman McConviile of the Democratic State Committee will give no esumate of the election result in the State. Chairman Kurtz of the Republican committee lets his statement of Saturday night, in which he claimes the State for McKinley by from 65,000 to 100,000, stand. Leading Republicans here are inclined to consider this ciaim to be too high, but all think the State is sale. Betting seems to favor this, as odds are 10 to 1 in Mec- Kinley's favor on the State. The R pubii- cans have a much better organization, in fact it was periect, and Chairman Kurtz is inclined to accept the statements of his local committeemen rather than reporis from casual observers to the effect that there are big Republican defections to free silver among the workingmen and farmers. — OAMLY A QUESTION OF MAJORITY. Demoorats Admit That Delaware Will Go for McKinley. WILMINGTON, DeL, Nov. 2.—The po- litical situation in Delaware remains un- changed since Saturday. Signs of grow- ing interest, however, are visible on every side, and tue votersare awaiting the result anxiously. Democrats in a position to know admit that the signs gaint to a majority for Mc- Kinley in the S.ate, and no estimates go below 1000. It is telieved that the entire Republican vote will be cast for the Re. publican electors. The result as to wno will be elected Congressman cannot be forecast, there being four candidates in the field. A vote for Bryan and Sewall is a step toward a proionged finsucial panic and the greatest deprecistion of values in general the United S:ates has ever n. Do you want this to happen ? COLLEGE BOYS T00T THE HORN Their Procession in Honor of Major McKinley and Hobart. Harvard Men Turn Out With Torches and Shout for Sound Money. FIGHTS AMONG THE STUDENTS Tufts Lads Roughly Handle¢ Until Rescued by the Boston Police. BOSTON, Mass.,, Nov. 2—The college boys tooted the last horn in the political campaign to - night and had another torshlight procession in honor of McKin- ley and Hobart. Though in point of numbers inferior to the big parade of last Friday night, the finale was far more ex- citing. There were about 800 men in line, from the State Agricultural College at Ambherst, a score or more Tuft students and several representatives of Williams College in a carriage., Enthusiasm was not wanting, however, and the paraders were greeted with cheers all along the line. There had been a rumor that the Harvard and Institute of Technology men were to have a little sport witu each other during the parade, but this was prevented by the non-ap- pearance of the Technology boys. After the line had broken up a Harvard student pulled a cap from one of the Tufts students’ heads and put it in his pocket. This the Tuftsman resented and in a second the Harvard man struck the former. A scrimmage ensued in which many were involved, but the Harvard men had the advantage owing to their great numbers. The mounted police on the opposite side of the square made a dash for the belligerents, driving the crowd pell-mell upon the sidewalks and into doorways, and by a vigorous use of their clubs succeeded in quelling the dis- order. Meantime another row had started far- ther down the square, near Pleasant street, and there the foot poiicemen made a rush for the trouble, using their sticks right and left. The encounter was short but decisive, and the police came off masters of the situation. No arrests were made and as far as known no one was seriously hurt, altbough many received whacks from the policemen’s clubs. . SCENES UF GREAT JOX. Unusual Spectacle Presented on ’Change at New York. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 2—The Stock Exchange presefited quite a scene of ex- citement and enthusiasm when the gong souaded for the closing of the board at 3 o'clock. A large crowd of members were present and were regaled with songs by the glee club of the Republican dry-goods district. The glee club consisted of four members—two ladiesand two gentlemen— and it is the first time in the history of the Exchange that ladies have appeared on the floor of the Exchange. The club sang a number of National airs and were applauded to the echo. Afier each song the enthusiasm reached a high pitch and finally the brokers were fairly beside themselves, waving hats and hand- kerchiefs amid wiid shouts for a sound, money victory at the polls to-morrow. No such scene at the Stock Exchange has been witnessed in any previous Presiden- tial campaign. CYCLE THKADE& DECLINING, Great Falling Off in Business Between England and Amerioa. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 2.—Consul- General Parker writes the Department of State from B.rmingham, England, that trade with the United States in cycle ma- terials continues todecline. The steel-tube trade reached its highest development during the December quarter, when tubes to the value of $251,651 were sent to the United States. During the June quarier tubes to the value of $130,253 were shipped, and for the quarter ended September 30 last, ship- ments were reduced to §67,787. Many of the contracts made by Ameri- can cycle makers have expired and others are running out, and Parker is of the opin- ion that trade in these products will prac. tically cease by the end of 1897, 3 No complete bicycles have been sent to the United States for some time. On the other hand a good many American pro- ducts have been sold in the Birmingham district. It is not safe to predict how long this demand will continue, but as trade conditions bave improved generally dur- ing tie past year it is likely that a consid- erable number of machines of good qual- 1ty may be sold if offered at prices slightly lower than those ruling for the same kind in Birmingham, —— HUITFLLT-BUNAPARTE, Elaborate .Preparations for a Notable Wedding at Washington. WASHINGTON, C., Nov. 2.—The marriage of Miss Lonisette Bonaparte and the Count de Moitke Huitfelt of Denmark will take place December 10 in St. Paui's Roman Catholic Church. The ceremony is to be followed by a breakfast toa limited number of friends at the Bonaparte resi- dence on K street. The arrangements for the event are upon a most elaborate scale and Cardinal Gib- bons will officiate. An earlier ceremony of equal significance will be ihe signing of the marriage contract, which will take place at the home of the bride in the pres- ] ence of the Cardinal and members of the family exclusively. Already many elegant wedding gifts have been received by Miss Bonaparte, who is a general favorite on both sides of the water. The Empress Eugenie is godmother to the bride-elect and has always taken a warm interest in her. It is understood the couple will make their home abroad. g i DEATH IN A COLLIERY. Singular Disaster to a Group of Miners While Blasting at Girardville, Pennsylvania. POTTSVILLE, PA, Nov. 2.—An acci- dent resulting from a singular cause cost the lives of two men and fatally injured a third at Packer colliery No. 2 at Girard- ville this afternoon. Thomas Welch, John Halaran, Joseph Staum and Michael Nack were at work in the mine this aiter- noon. Welch had driven a hole in the face of the breast, in which he put the biast. He applied a match to the fuse and hastened away for a place of shelter. He had gone but a few feet when a large lump of coal rolled on to his foot, pinning him fast to the ground. Momentarily ex- pecting the explosion of the blast, he cried for help. The other three men were work- ing near, and, disregarding the danger to themselves, they ran to Welca’s rescue. They had scarcely reached him when the blast exploded, bringing down with ita mass of coal upon them. Halaran and Staum were crushed to death and Welch fatally injured, while Nack escaped with slight injuries. i g FRIENDS OF THE HEATHEN. Conference of the Women’s Foreign Mis- sionary Society. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Nov. 2—The fifth day of the conference of the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society was charac- terized by no less enthusiasm and interest than any of the preceding se:sions. The morning was opened with devo- tional exercises, conducted by the Balti- more branch, after which the following reports of offic al correspondents were re- ceived: North Indiaand Southern Japan, Mrs. E. T. Cowen; Corea, Mrs. R. H. Skid- more; Central Japan, Mrs 8. L. Keane. The afternoon was devoted to commun- ion services in charge of Dr. T. J. Gracey, assisted by the Methodist pastors of the city. ’fho subject at the evening session was “India and Its Needs.” Interesting ad- dresses were made by Mrs. Emily Har- vey of Cawnpore, Miss Delia Fuller of India, Miss Kate A. Blair of Calcutta and Mrs. Robert Haskins of Bareilly, s WHITES AND BLACKS COLLIDE, 4 Political Speech at Goldsboro, N. C., Causes & Riot. RALEIGH, N. C, Nov. 2.—Messages from Goldsboro say that an incendiary political speech made there by Frank Baker caused a clash between white and colored citizens yesterday. A mob of 150 negroes, armed with knives, pistols and clubs, marched throueh the city and defied the law. The Shenff and city authorities called on the Goldsboro Rifles for assistance. This action had theeffect of quelling the disturbance. The negroes repaired to a hail and beld a me-ting. The militia is still at the armory, ready for any emer- ency. The fire department has also een ordered to be ready. More trouble is expected. — TRAIN JUMPS THE TRACK. Several Men Slightly Hurt ond & Tramp Fatally Injured. FORT WAYNE, Inpn., Nov. 2—East- bouna Wabash passenger train No. 6 jumped the track at New Haven, six miles east of here, at 9 o’clock to-night. The engine turned over and the mail car and baggage car were thrown from the track. Engineer Joseph Lee and Fireman Kubach of Toledo were slight!y hurt and three mail clerke were also slightly in- jured. A man named Emmanuel Nichois of Toledo, who was steuling a ride on the pilot, was probably f ly injured. et Sub-Treasury Withdrawals, CHICAGO, I, Nov. 2.—Eighty thou- sand dollars was to-day withdrawn from the Sub-Treasury on legal tenders of the 1890 issue and later, and on' gold certifi- cates. The withdrawals were in amounts ransing from $50 to $1000, and were solely for hoarding. People stood in line throughout the day, but many had currency of issues not re- deemable at this branch. Within the past three months about $1,500,000 has been withdrawn from the Chicago sub-treasury, but the daily withdrawais were small untii Saturday, when $29,000 were taken. AWFUL DEEDS IN THE PHILIPPINES Rebels and Spaniards Vie With Each Otherin | Atrocities. Prisoners’ Hands Are Nailed to Walls and the Thumb- Screws Used. A BLACK HOLE OF CALCUTTA. One Hundred Unfortunates Thrown Into a Dungeon Not Large Enough for Thirty. LONDON, Exe., Nov. 2.—The Daily News will to-morrow publish a letter from an English merehant in the Philippine Islands that was dispatched to London on September 30. The writer alleges that horrible atrocities have been perpetrated by both the rebels and the Spaniards, and more especially by the latter, who torture their prisoners, particularly when they are prominent men, with a view to forc- ing them to confess complicity in the rebellion. He declares that in some cases prisoners’ hands have been nailed to walls, while in other cases thumovscrews have been used. A hundred prisoners were thrown in one night into a dungeon in the fortress at Manila, where there was hardly room for thirtv. The place was worse than the Black Hole of Calcutta. The poor wretches were up to their kuees in filthy, putrid mud. Fifty-nine of them died during the night. A reign of terror exists in Manila and elsewhere in the islands. Wholesale arreste are made daily of innocent and guilty persons. The writer adds that the rebellion is due solely to the rotten and corrupt ad- ministration of the Spaniards, which the natives were unable to endure any longer, The outlook is of the blackest description and businessis at a complete standstill. The writer was compelled to leave his estate, the Government refusing to guar- antee his safety there. Prisoners are executed by the wholesale. In treating of this subject the writer de- scribes the shooting of four men on the public promenade. The troops held their rifles so close to the heads of the con- demned men that when the weapons were discharged their heads were blown to atoms. Crowdsof Spanich women went to see these four rebels executed. o e 4 DOUBTIUIL INTERVIEW. Fitzhugh Lee Said to Have Eulogized Weyler and His Troops.
