CRISP ON THE ELECTION.
The Defeat of No Special Significance
at This Time.
Ohio, Massachusetts and lowa All
Republican States, and It Is Non
sense to Talk of Their Loss as a
Democratic Defeat —Local Differ
ences the Cause of the Upheaval in
New York—The Legislation of the
Coming Session.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 9.—“ We have
nothing to feel badly about,
except possibly, that some people have
not enough good sense to vote the demo
cratic ticket all the time.” Judge Crisp,
speaker of the House of Representatives
was discussing the recent elections with
Senator Fitzgerald, Hon. Boykin Wright,
of Augusta, and several others in his
room at the Kimball this afternoon. He
ftopped off here to-day on his way home
from Washington. "Then you don't fool
set back any by the way New York,
lowa anil those other .places played into
republican hands*” he was asked.
■Not a bit,” and the level
headed Georgian, whose great good sense
has stamped his individuality upon the
nation's record as good humorediy as if
the whole thing had been a joke. He does
not feel at all worried over these republi
can victories, and thinks there is nothing
significant enough in them to justify any
serious connection between them and na
tional politics.
•The only point we get,” he continued,
‘•is that our ancient enemy is not yet
dead. He still lives, and is ready to light,
despite ih? democratic tidal wave that
buried him a year ago.”
SOT DUE TO THE PARTY'S POLICY.
"Then you do not think the parties pol
icy up to date has bad anything to do
with the way New’ York or Massachu
setts went!”
"Not in the least.” was the speaker's
emphatic reply, "it only recalls to us
our party pledges, and emphasizes the
necessity of carrying them out. While
we carried everything before us lust
year, we must not forget our pledges, and
we are not doing so. The President
called an extra session of congress in or
der to carry out the most urgent of these
pledges. Hie tariff hill is already in
preparation, and the bill to repeal the 10
per cent, tax on slate hanks will be
ready to report back from the committee
soon after congress meets next month.”
The tariff bill. Judge Crisp says, will
provide a general reduction, and will put
the tariff on a strict revenue basis, with
out any protective features in it. "But,”
he continued, "about these elections. In
state elections, following national elec
tions. it often happens that there are
many little revenges to be settled up.
Then there are some dissatisfied office
holders and aspirants, who go to swell
tins element, and take advantage of the
state campaign to show their teeth. They
know the real safety of the party is not
at- stake.
PERSONAL TROUBLES IX NEW TORT.
"This was the case in New York. There
were some personal troubles there, con
spicuously that in which Judge Maynard
was the issue. Tammany was not re
sponsible and the Cleveland and Hill lines
had nothing to do with it. Tammany's
ticket went through all right.
Ohio is a republican state naturally.
Ohio is not democratic in doctrine, and
McKinley’s election could not be taken as
a surprise or an expression of democratic
disapproval of the party's course..
"Massachusetts is another republican
state, though William G. Russell was
elected governor there twice. But at no
time did his stato house ticket succeed.
His personal strength was what made
him successful. He received the full
party support, and more, besides. But
John G. liusell, the recent candidate, did
not have the independent stranth of Will
iam G., and polled only the regular party
vote.
"Then, in lowa. Why. during the up
heaval last year, when everything seemed
to go democratic, lowa only gave us one
democratic congressman out of eleven or
twelve. The state is really republican,
and ii was a great rallying of the old
time enemy that defeated Boies.”

mittee, to-day admitted the defeat of
Judge Holcomb and the election of Judge

Philadelphia, Nor. 9. —The results that
have been received from the interior

jority for Judge Fell, for the supreme

New York, Nov. 9.—lt now looks as if
the Corbett-Mitchell fight would cer
tainly come off in Florida. A certified
check for SIO,OOO has been received by
Richard K. Fox from the Florida people,
l as a guarantee of good faith, and at a

New York, Nov. 9.—VV. A. Brady and
Billy Thompson, representing Corbett and
Mitchell, respectively, met, at the Police
Gazette office this afternoon to discuss
the Jacksonville fFla.) Athletic Club's
offer of $20,000 for the Corbett-Mitchell
fight. Nothing came of the meeting. J.
R. Rouse, representing Richard K. Fox,
produced a certified check for SIO,OOO
from the Jacksonville jieople. The check
was so drawn up ns to be payable after
the fight. There was no proviso made for
the $2,500 guarantee for training expenses
demanded by both men.
The Jacksonville people telegraphed
that $20,000 was their limit for the fight,
and that they would give $2,500 to each
principal for training expenses after the
contest. This was not satisfactory to
either Brady or Thompson, wiio naturally
want a guarantee before hand that the
fight will take place. Until this guaran
tee is provided nothing further will be
done. A telegram was sent to-night to
Jacksonville to ascertain if such a guar
antee would he forthcoming. Until a re
ply is had the matter will be held in
abeyance.
TUE OLYMPIC CLUB OUT OF IT.
New Orleans. Nov. 9.—The Olympic
Club has decided to reject the amended
articles of Mitchell and Corbett, and the
fight between them will not take place
in this city. The club made a liberal
offer of $20,000 to the two men, but Mitch
ell and Corbett threw this offer into the
waste basket and prepared their own
articles, asking for $5,000 for traveling
and training expenses. The club consul
ered this demand exorbitant, and unani
mously agreed to reject it. The club says
it would have had no difficulty in ar
ranging the light without interruption
Telegrams have been sent to the fighters.
GALVESTON NOW AFTF.It IT.
Galveston, Tex., Nov. 9.—James C.
Cullen, a stock broker who is ut the head
of a syndicate of wealthy men here to
secure the Corbett-Mitchell contest for
Galveston, when interviewed to-day us to
what proceeding had been taken to secure
the mill, said: '‘Everything looks lovely,
and I see no reason why we should not
have the contest in the Island City.
Since it has become known that Galveston
was a bidder for the fight, I have received
assurances from many prominent gentle
men of this city that they would sub
scribe liberally to the event. There will
be no trouble in securing a purse of
$25,000, and I propose to have the amount
in the bank before I wire either Corbett
or Mitchell, making an offer to them to
fight here.”
Mr. Cullen lias the opinion of a leading
lawyer of Dallas, who holds that the law
forbidding prize-fighting in Texas is un
constitutional, and cites the opinion of
.fudge Simkins, in the case of Sullivan, at
Fort Worth, wherein the judge decided
the law unconstitutional, as it makes the
act of prize-fighting a felony, but makes
it punishable as u misdemeanor.
Mr. Cullen is of the opinion that the
fight could take place here without any
legal interference, and is determined to
briug it about if possible.
CAN’T HAVE IT IN LOUISIANA.
Baton Rouge, La., Nov. 9.—Governor
Foster is determinoJ that the proposed

use all the power conferred by the law of
the state to prevent the light taking place
on Louisiana soil.

Boston, Nov. 9.—The mystery sur
rounding the tragic deaths of Mrs. Han
nah Toole and her daughter, Margaret,
at their home in South Boston, last night,
after partaking of a bottle of jiorter, has
added horror to-night. Once more the
silent hand of death has entered the
home of this once happy family of nine
and claimed the father at ti o'clock to
night. There were four of the family
present at the bedside of the
dying man. They were Joseph,
John, Patrick and Annie. Stephen, Mich
ael and Minnie were confined at Station
six. charged with the nmrder of their
mother and Margaret, whose thirties lie at
the city hospital morgue. The father
passed away never knowing that his wife
and daughter had gone before. He had
been confined to his bed at the homo for
months, sufering from an incurable
malady. Wednesday night he had been
watched by bis wife and daughter, Mar
garet, and at 9 o’clock lie fell off
into a sound sleep, and the two watchers
left the liedside and went in another
room. In the room which they entered was
a sou. Michael. He was sent,for a bottle
of iKirter. the drinking of which caused
the death of Mrs. Toole and Margaret.
The report of the medical examiner shows
that there was cyanide of potassium
enough in the stomachs of the two to
kill forty men.
AN EDISON PATENT EXPIRES.
It Will Cheapen the Cost of Incandes
cent Lamps in England.
New York. Nov. 9. —To-morrow a fa
mous Edison patent expires in England,
and from that date the manufacture for
sale of incandescent lamps in that coun
try will be free. This is said to mean a
probable decrease in the prioo of incan
descent lamps, and the establishment of
a number of new manufactories. It hus
been suggested that the ex
piration of this patent may, in
some way, affect the term of the Edison
patent for the United States. Such,
however, the officials of the < onipuny
claim will not be the case. The foreign
patent which limits the term of an
American must be one granted prior to
the granting of an American patent for
the same invention. At least that is what
tin' courts have decided many times, the
most recent ruling having been made by
Judge Jenkins, of Chicago, in the case of
the Bell Telephone Company against
Hubbard.

SHOW OF THE LORD MAYOR.
Thousands of People View London's
Annual Parade.
The Costly Pageant Viewed With Dis

Spectators All Attempts at Out

Suppressed By the Show-loving
Crowd.
I-ondon, Nov. 9.—The annual circus pro
vided by the city of I-ondon upon the oc
casion of the installation of the new
lord mayor was witnessed by tens of
thousands of people to-day.
Alderman George Robert Tyler, repre
senting the Queen Hither ward, is the
now chief magistrate of the city, and he
assumed the reins of office with all the
pomp and ceremony attendant upon such
a proceeding, to the disgust of ninny
thousands of unemployed people in I-on
don, who were of the opinion that the
money spent on such a useless parade
might have been more beneficially used
in providing some assistance for the fami
lies of the starving poor of r-ondon.
expressions of disapprovalsmothered.
Then, again, the terrible, distress exist
ing in the coal regions was recalled, and
it is not to be wondered at that several of
the more audacious spectators actually
made a show of their opinion of the pro
cession, which outburst of feeling was
promptly smothered by the show-loving
public, who so dearly leve a lord mayor's
show. The usual circus programme
formed a great attraction, however, and
business along the route which it fol
lowed was suspended from early morning
until the close of the exhibition of munic
ipal stupidity. The morning was bright
fora London morning; that is to say. the
sun made desperate efforts to shine
through the mixture of fog and smoke
which always hovers over the great me
tropolis on the Thames.
COLD FOll THE OIKI.S.
The weather was quite cold for tiiis time
of the year, causing the airily-clad girls
upon the various symbolical cars to shiver
with the cold until their faces were al
most blue, and causing them to present a
pinched-up appearance which was posi
tively distressing to behold. Bo chilly
did the symbolical damsels appear, that
mnuy young men of a jocular turn of mind
at the various halts made by the preces
sion as it wended its way to the city,
offered their ulsters to the shivering girls,
and there is no doubt that these garments
would have been thankfully accepted had
it not been for the fact that a goddess
can hardly be expected to wear an In
verness cape.
A MODBL OF THE NEW Bill HOC.
One of the features of the cars was an
accurate and elaborate model of the new
tower bridge, which was really a very at
tractive piece of work. The new Lord
Mayor succeeds Right Hon. Stuart Knil,
in whose election more than ordinary in
terest was taken, in view of the fact that
he is a Roman Catholic and refused to
promise to conform to some of the observ
ances of Protestantism incident to the of
fice of lord mayor, and an energetic at
tempt was made to keep him out of office.
Gird Mayor Tyler was born in 1835,
and is the son of a former alderman of
the corporation of the city of r-ondon.
The new lord mayor became a member of
the corporation in 1877, and wus appointed
an alderman ten years afterwards.
BOUN 1) TO RULE THE OCEAN.
At the lord major's banquet at the
Guild hall this evening. Earl Spencer,
first, lord of the admiralty, replied to the
toast to the navy. He said that the
government was determined to develop the
navy, and to maintain England's supre
macy on the sea. It was the intention to
make the navy efficient enough not only
to defend the shores of Great Britain,
but the distant colonies and English com
merce in every part of the globe. Earl
Spencer paid a glowing tribute to the
courage and discipline of (he brave men
who lost their lives by the sinking of the
battleship Victoria.
ANGLO-AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP.
The toast to the ministers, in the ab
sence of Mr. Gladstone and Lord Rose
bery. was responded to by the Earl of
Kimberly, lord president of the council
and secretary for India. Lord Kimberly
said "the foreign relations of Great
Britain were friendly, but the government
could not contemplate the increase in
the number of armed battalions in
the countries of Euroixj, which
made the continent soem almost like an
armed camp, without anxiety. There is
a very different state of things in another
continent,” continued Lord Kimberly.
"We have nothing to fear from our
friends and brethren on the American
continent. We and they have given many
signal proofs that the dissensions between
nations—and there are no greater nations
than the great American republic and our
own can be settled without the arbitra
ment of war.”
HAYAItI! ALSO FELICITOUS.
Mr. Bayard, the United Htates ambas
sador, proposed a toast to the late lord
major, and made a short, neat speech, in
which he expressed his thanks for the
courtesy shown to himself and the honor
paid to his country in the invitation to him
to Join tiiis evening's gathering. It was a
suggestion of that kind of intimacy that
came of kindred blond that they had
asked him, who had only lived
a few months under the benig
nant rulo of the ex-lord mayor, to
propose his health. Even at the moment
of tlie popular ac< lamation and triumph
of the present' lord mayor, lie was dis
posed to say,"l<etothers hail to the rising
sun. ! bow >o him whose course is run "
ICheersl, Mr. Bayard wished to say to
iiis English cousins, perhaps he might
better say brothers [cheers], that there
were few tilings that struck men who
held civil power more than the ceremo
nials attending the revolution of power.
He knew of no place, except
where the English tongue was
spoken, where great public power
passed from hand to bund amid the accla
mations of the people wherever it was ex
errised. He had witnessed it in Amer
ica. With great impressiveness he had
seen the power, liolh executive uml legis
lative. over more than <15,000,000 of people,
pass with quietness and assent amid the
av'clamationsof the public. This was pos
sible beenMsc the reign of law continued,
and because the power of the land passed
from the hand of one trusted servant
to the hand of another. VVhut struck him
most forcibly was the dignity with which
power was yielded. In the world's histo
ry the trouble had been that statesmen
would not readily yield power, but that
was not the Anglo-Saxon theory of gov
ernment.
To-day's ceremonial showed that
the will of the people of England was
carried out in a spirit of honor and trust.

A Vender of Rice Beer at the State
Fair Refuses to Stop.
The Governor Tries to Call Out Two
Militia Companies, but ths Captains
Decline to Accede to His Request.
Armed Guards Summoned From ths
Penetentiary—The Selling Continues
for Seven Hours Under ths Eyes of
the Governor and Despite His Rage.
Columbia, B. C., Nov. 9.—The stats
fair grounds in this city, where thousands
of peoplo gathered, came near being a
Held of carnage to-day on account of the
attempt of Gov. Tillman to suppress the
sale of rice beer oy W. B. Meetze, of this
city. For hours there was blood on the
face of the moon, and the spectators were
alt the time looking for u bloody contest.
It was an orighiul and unprecedented oc
currence. The governor of the state and
a posse of constables and penitentiary
guards making faces at a man
who was selling before th#t?
very eyes a drink that the
state chemist hart decided came under
tho dispensary law, .and who cool.y in
formed them that interference with him.
without a warrant, would be ut their peril.
Meetze is the man who killed a trial jus
tice hi tiiis city several years ago, and he
is considered a dead shot. He had bought
a booth from the fair authorities, though
it was not put up for sale for the dispens
ing of boor. A constable got hold of a
bottle of the rice beer, and took it to tho
governor, and an analysis was
made, the report being that
it contuinefi more than three ;>er
cent, of alcohol. Meetze claimed that it
was not intoxicating, that this was guar
anteed b.\ tho brewers, ami that be had
as much right to sell it a*. to sril soda wa
ter. Papera were served on him last
night and ho gave bond.
TH K GOVERNOR AROUSED.
When the governor heard this morning
that he was selling beer, lie said that i t
would have to be stopped if lie had tocall
out all the militia, and Uo went at one#
to the grounds and took up Ids poslt.ou
near tho secretary’s office, tic sent, men
to stop Meetze, and when they reported
that he paid no attention to the orders,
the governor s face took on a determine i
look. Tho constables were not after
glory with such a man, and did not sea
any fun in running the risk of being per
foratod with bullets Around the gov
ernor were gathered the assistant attor
ney general, and a number of Ids close
friends, unit a good many constables. The
governor sent for Sheriff Cathcart, who
told him lie would make no arrest except
under a trial Justice's warrant. The gov
ernor, accompanied by the assistant attor
ney general, and constable*, and Capt.
Alton, of the penitentiary guard, thru
went to Meetze, where lie was selling
beer, and told him it must stop.
THE GOVERNOR DEFIED?
Meetze declined to do so, and the gov
ernor asked Idm if lie would rccogniza
tho authority of the state constable s
badge. Meetze said he would not, with
out!! warrant. Quite a commotion then
ensued. The people were excited, the
governor was ns mod as a hatter, and
Meetze was using the most emphatic
language. The governor finally retired,
leaving Meetze iu possession. The gov
ernor and the constabulary held another
consultation, and Capt. Alston, of the
Richland Volunteers, who was pass
ing, was asked if he could get
hia company together to suppress Meetze.
Capt. Alston said he could not, nnd tho
governor askod him to take a similar
message to Capt. Molton. of the Zouaves,
('apt. Alston suggested telephoning Capt,
Melton. The governor decided to do this,
When < ’apt. Melton was finally informed,
ho declined in very emphatic terms. He
wus counsel for Meetze, and stood b.v hi*
stand advising him, and telling him to sub
mit to arrest only under a warrant dqly
executed.
A LARGE POSSE MI STERED.
By tills time the governor had mustered
a large posse mid hud sent for guard*
from tlic penitentiary. He made a
talk to them, telling them to
get their guns nnd shoot if necessary;
Tho coustaoular.y inarched by taos to
Meetze s stand, but no; finding him there,
arrested two of his clerks, and with draw a
pistols were preventing the remaining
negro from selling the liquor. Just ut this
juncture Meetze appeared, and vaulting
over the counter told the negro to go p 1
serving beer, and atu word from him tnu
constables cleared out of tho inner enclo
sure. Cupt. Allen told Meetze that ha
would have to arrest him. but tlie
doughty beer seller told him that ha
would do so at his peril, lie
added that be would submit to arrest if a
p ro[ier warrant was served, no matter by
whom. It appears that it had been main
tained by the governor that under the dis
pensary law the arrest should be made
without a warrant.
MEETZE THHB.tTCNH TO HIIoOT.
The constables knew that Meetze meant
what be said. They were lotd that it
would be a useless riskof life, ttnd Meet**
tired liis tongue at them in a lively man
ner, doing some of the platneat talking.
“The first man that crosses my rounter
to arrest me without a warrant. I’ll
shoot,” said he. No one tried it. Things
Jogged along in this way. everybody being
on the lookout for a tight. (Jov. Tillman
railed on the fair society to revoke
Meetze's contract. The authorities went
to him and endeavored to do so, but he
would not consent to any revoking, and
stated that he would not stop until his
supply gave out. He kept his word, and
seven hours after the governor's appear
ance on the groutuls Meetze sold the last
hottlcof beer that lie had on hand. Some
time after that a trial Justice went to the
grounds, and it was pleasantly arranged
that Meetze should call to-morrow and
give bond.
Gov. Tillman takes the (wsition that
Meetze was guilty of op-m outlawry, and
it ina.v be that he will take further action
in the matter.
Meetze is a man of heavy build and
great courage. He had decided to sail
tieer again to-morrow, but at the request
of the fair sodaty, states that he will not
do so. adding that such uction is only on
their account and not ou Gov. Tillman's.
Meetze used some rough language at the
chief executive, if not to him.
