Washington, I>. C.. Nov. 30.—Al
though tho latest returns from several
of the disputed congressional districts
are such as to lessen the chances of the
democrats for getting control of the next
house, thev have not all yet given up
the fight, as the thing is so close that it
will require the official canvass in several
of the districts to tell what the majority
will be for the party that will have the
upper hand. It must be confessed, how
ever, that the republicans at this writing
appear to have the advantage over the : r
opponents, and that is why some of the
democrats have given up all hope.
Representative Springer, of Illinois,
said this afternoon: “We are going to
try very hard to pass the bill admitting
to the Union the territories of Washing
ton, Montana, Dakota and New Mexico,
and we shall certainly pas3 theOklaha-
ma bill at once. The next house will
undoubtedly be republican by a small
majority, and 1 suppose the republicans
of both houses will have no objection to
strengthening that majority. The ad
mission of the territories will ao
that; the territories could be states
in time to elect senators, and
Representatives to to the Fifty-first con-
gio.s. Montana. Washington and Da
kota are republican Ihe s n ite may
insist on a di»ision of Dakota, and such

The Grim Destroyers of Life and Happiness
Knjoy n Trent at Chicago.
Chicago, Nov. 80,—[Special.]—About
three liundred anarchists held a meeting
at Thalia hall last night, at which the
destruction of existing society was ad
vanced.
A picture was exhibited representing
an anarchistic female waving a sword.
In the foreground was a workingman
stabbing a serpent bearing the heads of
tlie Pope, Gladstone, and the Czar of
Russia.
In tho background was an amtrch'st
hurling bomb. among the police and
buteke.in ' capitalists.
■ The ricture had on its margin the
he ds of Parsons and other noted an
archists.
Albert Curlin, the principal speaker,
said thanksgiving was a farce, and also
abused the capitalists of the country
generally, and closed by faying that the
fight would go on until socialism and
anarchy were triumphant.

The Speakership of the House.
Washington, Nov. 30.—Tli» Herald
has the following speakership gossip
Western men seem to be uniting upon
Joseph G. Cannon as their candidate for
the speaker of the house. Mr. Cannon
has served in eight consecutive con
gresses, is a gotxl parliamentarian, lias
lh?en cn the appropriations committee-
for years, and has served on the com
mittee on rules with distinction. Form
erly lie was considered a little shaky on
tht tariff question, at least by advanced
advocates of a prohibitory tariff, but of
late years he lias Leen regarded as a safe
man by the protectionists. Major Mc
Kinley s friends say that he will not be
speaker of the house. Already promi
nent Ohio po iticiani are putting him
forward as Ohio's choice for the new
• abinet. In view of the small republi
can majority in the next house, it is
thought that no cabinet select : ons will
be made from members or that body.
been, in favor of the almission of those
four territories on broader gro ind than
that of politics. I sincerely hope that
we shall be able to pass the enabling act
during this corning session.'’
Congressman Crain, of Texas, is a
democrat who claims the ho arc to be
democratic. He scouts the idea that re
publicans will organize the next house.
“Some men calling themselves demo
crats, ’ said he, "concede that the house
is republican, and then go on to say that
it will be 1 letter for the democ: atic"party
if tlie house is republican, which they
hope will be the case. Such talk as th.,t
makes me tired. If it is better for the
democratic party that the house b- re
publican, why should wo have fought
for it ? The idea that it would be better
for the democratic party ! The demo
cratic party.” emtinued Mr. Crain, "is
like a c on. It is no good on its
feet, but it can fight like when on
its l ack." Mr. Crain does not believe in
laying tlie defeat of the party to tlie door
of the president. “The president.” said
he, -“sent us his tariff reform message
on which the campaign was fought.
When it reached the house that was tlie
end of it. so far as President Cleveland
was concerned. We could have repudi
ated it. but we did not. We indorsed
the Mills bill, which in turn was indorsed
by the St. Louis convention, and that
fact alone made every democ rat in the
house the champion of the tariff reform,
liecau.se we passed the Mills bill. The
president was not responsible for the de
feat of our party."
"Do jou think that the south will
have an., thing to fear from Gen. Harri
son's administration ?"
“No. I believe Gen. Harrison will be
conservative, but if he is controlled by
certain members in his party, then tlie
South may be harassed by vicious legis
lation. Theonl v thing the south has to
fear is that the Thad Stevens in the party
might become the ruling element and
try to change the law go • erning the elec
tion of congressmen, but as yet no one
knows what tlie policy of Gen. Harrison
will be.”
I’.lch strike of Natural Cat,

Plgott’s Journalistic Enterprise Having
Failed to Meet Public Approval,
He Thanks God that lie Hnd
Country to Sell.
Dl’BUX, Nov. 30.—[Special.]—The po
lice are closely guarding Richard Pigott
and James Lysaglit Finigan, w ho are
the suspected authors of the forged let
ters alleged by tlie Times to be sigued by
Parnell. It is expected they will be
placed in the witness box before the
epeciai commission in Londoanext week
to confess their criminality. Pigott was
suspected of treachery to the Irish cause,
even when he was engaged in conduct
ing two journals of advanced nationalist
opinions. His journalistic enterprises
having failed to meet public approval he
has since lt#81 been thanking God he had
a country to sell. He is thoroughly de
epised and hated in Ireland. Pity even
more than contempt is expressed fo<
poor Finigan. His connection with the
forgeries lias caused the greatest sur
prise. He was the first man elected tc
parliament as a su p irter of Parnell. He
was very popular in this country, where
he was known as ths “Dashing Lysaght
Finigan.'’
In 1870, lie exhibited splendid courage
in fighting for the French, in the Franco
Prussian war.
In 1879 he retired from a lucrative po
sition on a London journal to jo.n his po
litical fortunes with those of Parnell. It
is said that he is now a mental wreck,
and iotaliy incapable of keeping his
thoughts fixed on any subject.
His great grievance seems to be tliat
he is out of parliament and for this he
holds Parnell responsible. It is thought
his testimony wi.l not be accepted by
the commission. It is now known
that Philip Callan ha l no direct connec
tion with the forgeries, although he is
now scouring tlie country to procure
evidence lo bolster up tlie charges of the
Jay-F.je-See Dying:.
Racine, Wis., Nov. 30.—Jay-Eve-See,

counts there was a chance of his recov

the pasture a.m .st lifeless from the losf
of blood. He had stepped on a piece if
glass during the night, and cut til? main

him at $50,000.
A New Washington Dally.
Washington, Not. 30.—[Special.]—A

issue next Monday morning. An after
noon edition will be started later. Both
morning and evening editions will be
served by the Press News Asso iation on
it, regular night anl day circuits.
There is every reason to believe that
the new Washington daily will be a suc
cess. In join: of originality and enter
prise. its wind service will be far in ad-
vane? of the old “combination ' pup. r.

ably become a powerful factor in the

jiected iiiui of divulging its secrits to

he is now in almost abject poverty. The
suspicions directed against John O'Con

It Is reported that justice is at last to be
done Mr. O'Connor by the Irish party,
and that Mr. Parnell has decided to in

Since 1875, there has been a continual
glut in the coal market, and the conse
quence was that prices ruled low. In
1881 tlie official value of the coal raised
in the United Kingdom, taken as a
whole, at the pit’s mouth was $2.12 per
ton. lu 188(3 it was not more than half

Either the cost of working the coal
must have been reduced in the mean
time or the margin of profit must have
become very much narrower. In the
principal coal fields of Great Britain the
tiade lias not yielded an average of thiee
per cent on the enormous capital invest

in operation lias been reduced from 3,946

TERSE NOTES.
Jute Trust Going to Pieces.
Chicago, Nov. 30.— [Special.]—A Tri
bune special from St. Louis says • the
jute bagging trust is reported to ba going

been far below the usual full average,
and the fact that the sixteen factories
which were leased bv the “combine”
and cloe-d to lessen production, will
start on January 1st, unless again leased,
is causing them some anxiety. It is said
no arrangement has yet been made to
keep them clos-d, and that without
doubt several of them will start, natur
ally causing a serious decline in the price

l«’out on a strike in the coal trade of
tlie country.
'llie i:on trade is therefore likelv to
suffer severely, ns well as other indus
tries. The production of iron and the
consumption of coal in this country in
1830 was 7,009,754 tons and 14.299,715
tons respectively; of this total, the dis
tricts in wh ; ch the strike is now in pro
gress, turned out 4.615,725 tons of iron,
anl emsumed 9.403,282 tons of coal.
The furnaces of these districts must now
stop if the strike is continued many
days. Unless a settlement is speedily
arrived at, it is feared there will be
much suffering among the miners this
winter.

Tire Paris Exposition ot ISS9.
Tho preparations for the great ex
hibition of the industries of all nations
to bo hold next year at Paris are going
on apace. Tlie Eiffel tower lias passed
tlie 2(j0 meter mark, and now exceeds
in height the Washington monument.
AJI the scraps and -waste from its con
struction are being saved to be made
into paper weights and similar mem
orials. Other buildings are completed
or in process of erection. Applications
for space are pouring in, and Great
Britain has already rcouested an ex
tension of room, u good indication of
her interest in the affair. The United
States commission have issued a circu
lar calling the attention of the public
to the fact that the space allotted
to this country is rapidly filling
up. Tlie commissioners undertake to
forward and return, free of freight, all
articles sent for exhibition. Tlie al
lotment of space is set for Nov. 15, and
shipments bejjin in January. Abso
lute impartiality is to be exercised in
the distribution. The cost will be met
out of the appropriation of $250,000
made by the United States govern
ment, to be expended under tho direc
tion of the secretary of state to defray
all expenses. All communications
should be addressed to the commis
sioner. Gen. William B. Franklin,
or Assistant Commissioner Gen.
Somerville P. Tuck, Washington
building. No. 1 Broadway, New York.
The French commission will not cor
respond with exhibitors. All indica
tions point in the direction of a great
success, and it is to be hoped that
America will occupy as honorable a
station among the family of nations
as she has hitherto held in such com
petitions.—Scientific American.

Charles Jatnes Matthews' letters are
very fascinating reading. His dear
first wife, Mme. Vestris, was six or
seven years his senior. Ho was mar
ried to this gifted lady in Kensington
church in July, 183& After eighteen
years’ marriage he wrote: “My love is
as true at..this moment as it was eigh
teen years ago,” and that “sufferings
and your fortitude under all the illsof
this world endear you mere to me
every hour.” Today tlie remains of
tho devoted pair lie side by side in
