Only tho general heads can here

of the feast can't be understood
until the guests go through the
whole Bill of Fare in person at
Wheatley's.
No such complete and] elegant
stock of

THING about them is the LOW

Washington. Nov. 2.—“if Steve El
kins enters the cabinet,” said a republi
can who knows liis man well, “It will bo
to help Maine and not to help Harrison
as somo people suppose. Elkins has
more financial irons in tho fire than any
man I know, and you may be certain
that he would not not bo willing to neg
lect them even temporarily if there were
not some big political schemo to be
worked up. Those who talk about his
selling out Maine for a cabinet appoint
ment simply exposo their ignorance of
the real relation between the two men-
Elkins belongs as completely to Maine
as it is possible for one man to belong to
another in this country, ami, remember
what 1 say, 1 do not believe that Elkins
will go into the cabinet, but if he does
it will he to help Maine lay out brother
lien.
There seems to be a hitch somewhere
in the selection of Secretary Proctor’s
successor, as it is now announced that
be may not leave the cabinet until just
before congress meets. Some people are
unkind enough to say that it is merely
the natural thrift of the man, which
causes him to wish to retain an 88,(XX)
salary as long as possible before giving
it up for one of only $5,000.
A scapegoat lias been found for the
loss of tho United States steamer Dis
patch, while on her way from New York
to Washington, by the naval court of in
quiry now sitting in Washington. It is
the glass lens of the lantern of a light
house, which according to the testimony
of Lieut Noel, executive oilicer, made
a light which should have shown white
appear red, which caused him to change
the sailing course which had been laid
by tile commander before ho went to
bed. It has not yet been decided what,
if any, punishment shall he meted out to
the derelict lens.
Another southern city will be honored
if somo of tlie narrow-minded breed do
not cause Secretary Tracy to change his
mind about naming cruiser ship No. I*,
the sister ship to No. 10, launched at
Haiti more day before yesterday, which
lias been named Detroit Mr. Tracy has
almost promised that No. 0 shall bo
called Mobile.
A number of national banks in differ
ent sections of the country are doing
business in violation of tho law, by fail
ing to substitute interest-bearing gov
ernment bonds with the treasurer of tho
United States as security for their circu
lation, in place of tho 4J per cent, bonds
so held, which have ceased to bear in
terest. Tlie secretary of tho treasury lias
been easy with tho offondors because ho
hopes to be ablo to persuade them to
continue their expired 4A por cents at 2
per cent., which would make themavall-
ablc as security for circulation. This is
a little thing comparatively, but it gives
an idea of the scheming done by Secre
tary Foster to get money to meet tlie oh
ligations of the treasury as they mature.
So far lie lias succeeded, but it is no se
cret hero that lie very much dreads tho
future when lie shall liavo completely
drained even all of tho small sources of
supply.

tho Chilian government on account of
tho mobbing ol American sailors at Val
paraiso and been answered by Chill's
note of defiance, tlie administration is
now trying to discover tlie proper way
out. Senor Montt, who represented the
Chilian junta here for somo months
past, has been notified by cable of liis
appointment as minister to this inter
view with Secretary Maine, who declin
ed to recognize him as tlie representa
tive of Chili until lie presented liis cre
dentials.
Boss Clarkson is again in Washington
and lie struts around as though lie had
in his insido pocket a reception bill of
sale on the entire administration. Bus
sell Harrison, who is also bore, is quite
chummy with Clarkson, and it would ho
difiicult to say which of them is the
greatest man in ids own estimation.
Secretary Maino lias now been in
Washington almost a week, hut the sun
rises and sets just tlie same as before liis
return. He may control tho Bepuhlican
party but that is about as far as ho can
go, and even that is going to be disputed
with him, unless all signs fail.
Mrs. Thompson, of South Carolina,
wife of tho democratic member of tho
Civil Service Commission, has been
elected president of a ladies organiza
tion formed for tho purpose of raising
money by entertainments and otherwise
to aid needy and disabled ex-confeder
ate soldiers.
Owing to this being the closing week
of the state campaigns prominent demo
crats arc mighty scarce in Washington.
A Detective IVI.j Will Stake It Warm
for lluuko Men.
Fclto.w Mo., Nov. 3. — Detective
John T. Norris arrived here with war
rants for Ike Levi and George Haight.
The warrants are based on indictments
for the robbery of Thomas Blackburn
in Calloway county. Blackburn is an
aged farmer, and was held up for $7,800.
Levi and Haight are the "strong-arm
bunko men ” who recently pleaded guil
ty of a similar crime in Clark comity,
and threw themselves on the mercy of
the court. Each was sentenced to four
years’ imprisonment at the Jefferson
City prison. It will be remembered
that one of their partners, "Diamond
Bob” Lyons, caused the arrest of Norris
in Chicago on a charge of black mail.
The detective was acquitted, having
shown the charge had been trumped up
by friends of certain bunko raeu in or
der to put him out of the way, so he
could not trouble the gang. Norris has
registered a vow to have vengeance ami
follow the gang until he lands every
one of them behind the walls for life.
It is on that mission he is here now
There is a provision in the Missouri
statures that when a person is serving a
term in the penitentiary, other than a
life sentence, he may l>e taken out on a
bench warrant, approved by the gov
ernor, and tried on another charge. If
convicted, he is sentenced to tlie peni
tentiary, which sentence commences at
the expiration of tiie one he is then
serving. He may thus be tried on as
many cases as indictments may be se
cured.
Norris says that he has enough cases
against the gang to keep them m prison
tlie remainder of their lives, and that
Governor Francis has assured him he
will approve all bench warrants based
on inuictments. Blackburn, the Callo
way county victim, is not frightened
over the sin,000 damage suit brought by
oiie of tiie gang for false imprisonment.
It is rumored that Norris inteuds soon
to tire a shot at Lvous.
FIGHTING POLITICIANS.
The Parnellites anil Anti - Parnellites
Indulge In St,me Throwing.
Cork, Nor. 3.—The Parnellife and
anti-Parnellite meetings here were again
divided by a large force of police. Nev
ertheless, the Parnellites managed to
throw a good many stones over the
heads of the police at Mr. O’Brien’s
meeting. The McCarthyites replied
with similar missiles, and serious con
flict followed. The police were utterly
unable to keep order, many persons
being injured in the scrimmage. Ear
lier in the day an attack was made on a
band of music in O’Connell street. The
instruments of the musicians were
smashed and a number of persons were
injured,
The Parnellites marched in the pro
cession, an American flag and a por
trait of Mr. Parnell being carried at the
head of their line. Mr. Redmond, tho
Parnellite parliamentary candidate, in
his speech declared it impossible for
Dillon and O’Brien to be independent.
Gladstone was their master in England
and Tim Healy their master in Ireland.
During the meeting Mr. Redmond was
presented with an enormous snillelah.
Both meetings were largely attended.
Much rowdyism was manifested at va
rious times by roughs who even attack
ed women and children.
FROM NEW YORK.
A BOLD ROBBERY.
A CALIFORNIAN TALKS.
The llt’UM.ii for Chill'* Hatred Toward
Americans.
Chicago, Nov. 3.—Ramon Estudillo,
native Californian, at the Palmer
house sail: "We people of Spanish
blood are pretty much all alike, and I
think I understand tho situation better
than a man of English descent naturally
would. Do you know why the Chilians
hate the Americans ? It is not the re
sult of the Itata incident. It is not due
to the proffer of this government to
bring about peace between Chili and
E J eru under the Garfield administration.
Those incidents merely aggravated the
feeling. It dates far back of that. It
goes back to the time of the discovery
of gold in California. There
great demand for provisions in San
Francisco at that time. California was
not then the great wheat producing
state which it is to-day, and flour was
imported from Chili in large quantities.
This of course brought San Francisco
and Valparaiso into comparatively close
communication, and several thousand
Chilians went to the newly discovered
gold fields.
"It was just after the war with Mexi
co and the cession of that immense
stretch of country which made quite a
number of our Spanish-siieaking people
American citizens. There wus some-
tiling of a bitter feeling at the result of
the war. The native Californians looked
ufiou the pioneers as trailers and tlie
immigrants despised us as ‘greasers.*
(juite a number of the native Califor
nians liecame outlaws like Joaquin
Murietta, and many murders and rob
beries were committed. Mexicans and
native Californians felt; the retaliation
of the Americans. To them all Spanish-
speaking people were alike, so Chilian
miners suffered along with the Mexi
Having mails aublic its demands u ion cans. Quite a number of Chilians were
murdered and robbed by the American
miners, ami the race hostility grew so
intense that many of tin,Chilian miners
returned to their own land. They took
hack witli them tho story of their in-
pitahle rec-ption and tiie nation lias
arted muter what it deemed tlie
wrongs to its subjects ever since. Tile
average Chilian hates tlie American
bitterly, and tiiis is one reason for it. "

Washington, Nov. 3.—The bureau of
American republics has received official
information that a recent law of Para
guay will go into effect Nov. 1, impos
ing an import duty of 10 per cent, on

lintel F'lro In Gerlnanr.
Berlin, Nov. 8.—At Bergedorf, a
suburb of Hamburg, tlie Hotel Schwer-
ein was burned and five lives wore lost.
Many inmates liad narrow escapes, and,
owing to tlie construction of tho build
ing and tlie rapidity witli which the
flames spread, the firemen's work was
full of danger. Some colored minstrels,
who had been playing in Hamburg,
were lodged in tlie upper story. They
found escaiie shut off. Two brave fire
men volunteered, in tlie face uf almost
certain death, to go to their assistance.
Just as tlie two rescuers reached tiie
floor upon which the three minstrels
were hemmed in by tho flames the
building collapsed, and all five were
plunged into the burning mass and
perished.
Instead of -'Election Day" Tuesday I'rov-
eil “Electrocution Day’’ for Republicans.
New Yohk, Nov. 4 —[Special.]—Tho
republicans have collapsed. Their can-
dates Bay it was “electrocution” day,
not election day. IVlion returns began
to indicate the universal rejection of the
republican nominees many of them loft
their homes. The republican candidate
for mayor in Brooklyn, actually left fSr
the mountains last night.
Flower's majority In tlie state is over
40,000. Tlio entire ticket will bo cloctcd
with him. The legislature is demo
cratic, the city democratic, and nil over
tlio state gains have been made by the
democrats, i'oughkcopsio’s 400 majori
ty last year is reducod to 75 majority
Tills is a sample of tlie rest of the state.
Tlie republican ieadors say it is the re
sult of Warner Milior's friends cutting.
Tlie indications, however, arc that Cleve
land's activity in the canvass caused
heavy losses to republicans outaido of
tlie cities.
New 5’ork city sends all state senators
democratic. Brooklyn elects lloody,
democratic mayor by 11,000 majority.
Full ticket is also cloctcd. Massachu
setts is certainly democratic by 3,000;
and lliissoll is elected governor. Iowa
gives lloios (democrat) 3,000 majority for
governor. Tlio legislature is democratic.
McKinley carries Ohio for the republi
cans by 15,000. Pennsylvania goes re
publican by 20,000.
Univorsal satisfaction is expressed at
tlio result, which means that New York
is certain for Cleveland in 1802. Many
votes were brought out in order to show
appreciation of Cleveland's work ill the
campaign. Tlio democratic position is
the strongest in years.
The New Puetofflee.
Mr. T. A. Kluttz, the architect, in
forms a Times-Recorder representative
that the stone for tlie front of the new
postofilce building of Messrs. Harrold A
Johnson on Forsyth street has been or
dered, ami that It is only a question of a
short while before it will be ready for
occupancy.
The stone to be used has been ordered
from the quarries of Canton, Ga , than
which there are no better in the sontb;
tho material being especially adapted to
building purposes.
When this building is completed it
will reflect great credit upon tlie archi
tect and upon the oity. Three stories in
height, with a lofty turret upon Its east
ern end, and the ground floor front com
posed of two massive arches covering
tho entire width.
Tho first floor will be devoted to the
post-office and bank, while the second,
witli a stairway entrance from the east
ern sldo will be divided into well-lighted
and commodious offices.
Tho third flooor is arranged for sleep
ing apartments and will connect directly
witli tlie Allen House on the west.
Tills structure will add greatly to the
part of the city in which it is erected,
and tlio entire stone front witli its carved
lintols and architraves will present an
appearanco of riclinoss and beauty not
to bo equaled liy any edifice in South
west Georgia.

FAILURE IN COLUMBUS.
Pension Office Hug|[e*tl»ns.
Washington, Nov. 8.—Second Aud
itor Patterson, in his annual report to
the secretary of the treasury, suggests
that section 277 of the revised statutes
be so modified as to authorize the sec
ond auditor to disallow claims for ar
rears of pay and bounty in cases where
the muster or pay rolls or other records
of his office show that the soldier or his
heirs have received all they are entitled
to under the laws; provided, that if tho
claimants are dissatisfied they may,

comptroller, or otherwise tho auditor’s
action shall he deemed final and con
clusive and be subject to a revival only
by congress or the proper courts.
Introducing American .Went*.
Berlin, Nov. 3.—Minister Phelps has
taken a peculiar and highly original
way of introducing American meats and
the great American staple, Indian corn,

Germany generally. He gave a dinner

their wives, including Dr. Miguel, min
ister of finance; Dr. Boetticher. secreta
ry of tho interior, and a number of
other leading men of tho empire and of
Prussia. .The banquet included all the
luxuries of the season, and was of tho

from an American point of view, was
the bacon and corn bread from Amsr-
Ti. Sue Governor IlilL
New York, Nov. 3.—A dispatch
from Salmanaca says that State Senator
Vedder will sue Governor Hill for slan
der in connection with the latter’s state
ments relative to Vedder and a Chicago

refusal, attempted to wrest it from him

ed in the wound. Careless surgery
made light of the injury until when it
was found that the thrust had pene
trated the stomach. Ho has died. Jones
escaped arrest.
