BLAINE AND M’KINLEY ARE IhE RE
PUBLICANS' CHOICE.)
Democrat. Can Boo That Victory Ii In Tbolr
Gra.p, While Republican. Aro Overcome
with Gloom—Tariff Reform Bouhd to Bo
the Democratic Watchword.
Washington, Nov. 8.—The general
feeling here is that the elections this
week ami their results have smoothed
the way for a Democratic victory in
1893.
The president, Mr. Blaine and other
members of the administration see this
and they do not contemplate the figures
of the last election with anything like
satisfaction. They have seen the free
coinage and Farmers' Alliance scares
falling out of sight and tariff reform
standing out boldly as the issue'with
the certainty that a proper man will be
the nominee of the Democratic party
on a sound platform.
The members of the administration
make but a feeble attempt to disguise
the fact that the losses their party have
sustained are serious if not fatal. The
thing Mr. Harrison was concerned
about above all else was the election of
Mr. Fassett.
His vocabulary does not snpplyaterm
strong enongh for his disappointment.
Democrats are inconsolable because Mr.
Campbell has been compelled to take,
bnt there is acknowledged .atjcb in
that result in the way of profit if the
Democracy will not close their eyes
to it.
It holds the Bepnblicans to the rub
ber tariff as an issue for which they
mast contend, and it promises to elimi
nate the free coinuge of silver idea from
the fight in ’93. Thus sunlight can be
seen through the only Democratic re
verse.
While the administration 'finds no
solace anywhere, the New York San in
an editorial leader prophesies that
Blaine and McKinley will be the Re-
mblicun ticket in '93. It is thought
ere that the large Republican major
ity in the Ohio legislature will invite a
bitter fight between Sherman and For-
akcr for the senate.

Rom. r,ieil.lne«N Kelt In Reference to
I'nele'e Sam's Poor Outflt.
Washington, Nov. 6.—The reported
revolutionary movement in Brazil, ac
compuuie.1 by a declaration of martial
law and establishment of a dictator-
Bhip. is likely to cause uuutner demand
niton the already strained resources of
the navy, for it is regarded as uecessafy
for the protection of Americau interests
that a United States naval force be at
hand there in case of a formidable out
break. The only vessels regularly at
taclied to the South Atlantic station in
the vicinity of the Rio de Janeiro are
the Essex and the Tallapoosa. The first
is an old wooden cruiser, and the second
is worn out, unserviceable and offered
for sale.
The Boston is somewhere off the Bra
zilian coast en route to the Pacino, *bnt
it is not probable that she will be de
tained. The Yorktown, however, was
at Bahia, Brasil, Saturday, and she
will probably be ordered by cable to re
main there or return to Banfos, not
withstanding the fact that she is also
on her way to the Padfio station.
Meanwhile the work of repair on tha
Newark at Boston is being pressed, and
in case of emergency Admiral Gher-
ardi’s flagship, the Philadelphia, now
on her way to the West Indies from
New York, could be ordered by cable to
proceed to Rio de Janeiro.
Ship. Ordered Prepared for Sea,
Nxw Your, Nor. 8.—Secretary of the
Navy Tracy was in Brooklin and order
ed Commandant Erben to get every
ship in the yard ready for sea with all
possible expediency. Other yards hare
similar orders.
THROUGH THE HEAD.
M'KINLEV TALKS.
He Give. His Reasons for Hie Success-
ful Election.
Cincinnati, Not. «.—A Times-Star
Canton, O., special says: Major Mc
Kinley said, speaking of the Ohio elec
tions: "I am convinced that the jndg-
ment of onr citizens doee not npprove
the constant agitation in the tariff iaane
in the face of the fact that it can ac
complish nothing. It most sorely be
apparent to all alike thpt the conditions,
without which effective legislation is
possible, do not exist. The Republican
senate and Republican president are the
bulwarks against which the free trade
forces dash powerless, and with no im
mediate prospect of a change in these
conditions the only result of continued
agitation ia to disturb business and
retard enterprises which the new law
designs to enoonrage. In spite of all
the bill is working its way, and from
being on the defensive a year ago, we
are now on the aggressive. When bus
iness is already good, onr people will
not long tolerate movements which dis
turb it in the face of the conditions I
have named and yon will find that Re
publicans and Democrats alike will call
a halt on the men whose stock in trade
is not a fair, square argument bnt jug-
glingtniarepresentation. Ohio has gone
Republican, and I accept the resnlt as
indicating that the state stands bv the
Republican party with fnll faith in its
protective principles as embodied in the
tariff law; and more thau this, Ohio
stands, as she always has, in favor of a
fnll dollar and a sound currency. "
BERLIN BANK FAILURE.
Firmer Took s Little Girl for
Woodchuck end Killed Her.
I Parkersburg , W. Va., Nov. 6.—The!
following report of a terrible affair has
been received here: A man named Wil
son, a farmer near Wolf Snmrnit, who
had been annoyed by the depredations of
ground,hogs in his fields, went into the
I woods near by where the woodchucks
concealed themselves and set snares for|
[the animals. While he was setting the
snorts a little girl named Bailey, 10 or
II yean old. and who lived nearby,
[was attracted by Wilson’s actions, and
slipped behind a stamp to watch him.
While she was glancing over the top of
the stamp the man happened to look
np, and seeing nothing oat the top of
her head, who he believed to be a
woodchuck, picked np his gun and fired,
shooting her through the head and ldll-
ing her instantly.
The Pope's Will.
Paris, Nov. 6.—The pope prepared
his relgions will in October. It is writ
ten in Latin. The pope disclaims any
personal inclination as to the choio of
his successor. He dwells upon the io-
bility of labor as exemplified in the c tr-
penter’s house in Nazareth. The po] e’e
temporal will is being drafted by f nr

Rerun, Nov. 6.—The suspension of
the firm of Hirschfield ft Wolff, bank
ers of this city, caused a sensation in
financial circles, bnt it was as nothing
lo the late developments, it was re
ported at the time the failure was an
nounced, that the empress of Germany
and Prince Henry of Russia were liable
to lose a large amount by the failure,
and that the minister of pnblic worship,
Dr. Von -dossier, had lost his entire
fortune, and that many members of the
most aristocratic families were involved^
in the firm’s troubles. Under snch cir
cumstances-a rigid investigation into
the affairs of Hirschfield ft Wolff was
only natural. This inquiry into the
bankers’ business method was com
menced and resulted in the arrest of
Wolff, the head of the firm, on a charge
of a most serious nature, the particu
lars of which have not yet been made
public. This financial ‘ upheaval is the
only thing being talked about in Ber
lin, and further and more startling de
velopments are expected when the full
YHTctsbocome known. The amount of
the firm’s liabilities is not yet an
nounced, bnt it is understood Hint it U
very high.
Two tVoiuin Claim an Eilati.
Nashville, Nov. 6,—A few weeks
ago M. M. Amncher, a race horse owner,
shot and killed a yonng fellow named
Pat Milliron. The cause of the killing
was never very clearly stated, bnt was

wife and daughter of Amacher. The
woman claims that she was married to
Amacher in Texas about sixteen yean
i, bnt that she had heard nothing of
i for tevoral yean nntil she learned
of his death. She says that her name
is Leila Amacher, and that (he will

English Views of the Result.
London, Nov. 8.—English views of
the American elections seem almost
confined to the result in Ohio. The
incest* of McKinley b looked npon as a
distinct grievance in the manufactur
ing districts, especially in Bradford and
Sheffield, which places have been disas
trously affected by the McKinley act.
The defeat of McKinley would be bail
ed with delight in Great Britain.
AMOlvG THE MINERS.
A Strike Looked for In Knit Tennesseo
Coat Mines.
Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 0.—The mi
ners in the Coal Creek district are in a
ferment Their, releasing of the con
victs does not seem to have satisfied
them, and nnless other demands made
by them are not conceded by the oper
ator* another strike may occur. The
men employed in the Thistle mine,
which is operated by the East Tennes-
saee Mining company, have demanded
a chcck-weigbman. In their demand
they specify that the check-weighmau
■hall be pnt on at once. The company
had no opportnnity to act, and the men
walked ont. Another mine is operated
by the same company. This is at Fra-
terville. The men there demanded a
check-welghman also, and give the com
pany nntil Monday to act. If be b' not
pnt on they will itrike Monday. But
the miners conoede that they cannot
succeed except by united action.
At two mines check-weighmen have
been pnt on. The miners are deter
mined to act together, and will demand
a checker at all the mines. If all the
operators do not concede this demand
there will be inaugurated one of the
greatest strikes known in the history
of East Tennessee mining. The miners
in the Newcomb and Jcflico districts,
Tennessee, and in the district ahont
Jellico, in Kentucky, will go ont with
them. All the miners in the two latter
districts have check-weighmen. They
have never employed convicts,
DI8PUTED 8TATE LINES.
The Surveying Party—Poet Trailer. Jug
gled With Indiana.
Indianapolis, Nov. 6.—During the-
lost two months the surveying party
sent out by the national govehunent has
been at work locating the boundary
line between Ohio and Indiana, which
haa been in dispute. The work, under
Professor Mendenhall,' has been com
pleted and the surveying, party haa ita
report rendy for submission. The facts
found by tho surveyors aro, that the
trae line as declared when Ohib was or
ganized into a state commences twelve
miles west of the present boundary
line between Ohio and Indiana, thns
making astrip200milles long and of the
width of six miles—1,300 square miles,
to which the state of Ohio lays claim.
The strip described iuclndes the cities
of Fori Wayne, Richmond and Uuion
City, aud has a population altogether of
about 300,000. Inquiry into thb causes
that led to the juggling of these bound
ary lines discloses that when Ohio was
made a state there were post traders lo
cated at Richmond and Fort Wayne
who traded with the Indians, which
they would have been compelled to re
linquish if irt Ohio. Should Ohio insist
and establish her right to the land, In
diana wonld have the right to claim
eastern Illinois.
M’CARTHVITEB ATACKED.
Tim Sheriff of Cork Called Upon to In-
veitlgnto tho Matter. -
Cork, Nov. 6.—A crowd of Parnell-
ites attacked and atoned a body of Mc
Carthyite* parading in Winthrop street
lute at night, singing "God Save Ire
land. ” The McCarthyites fled to the

tbeir pursuers. Euch side showered
mbsiles npon the other, but eventually
the Parnellltes captured the bridge.
Abont the same time a detachment of
police arrived, and after aonie difficulty
they succeeded in dispersing the riot
ers. Many persons were ent with the
stones.
Dr. Charles Tanner, member of par
liament for Mid-Cork, called npon the
sheriff and entered a formal protest
against the quantity of stones laid abont
in the street ostensibly tor repairing
pnrposes. Mr. Tanner called attention
to tne fact that in view of tho polliugin
the election to be held for a successor
to the lalo Mr. Parnell, these stones
might be used with deadly effect by the
McCarthyites and Parnellites. Dr.
Tanner declared that he would li ivo an
inquire mado into the mutter, and if it
was discovered that tho stones had been
laid in the streets with an ulterior ob-
ject, he would i.isint upon the dismissal
of the city engineer, who was responsi
ble for having them placed nbout the
