Tliero Elliott would undoubtedly boat Mur ray, but for the fact that in order to. control flic couuty oftloos lu Beaufort and Georgetown, the Till man! tes have made a trade with the Republican poli ticians of the old carpet-bag regime* who of late years have been left out in tho cold by the white men nud bet ter class of colored people who support Elliott. TtJlman has profferyd his sup port to Elliott, but recent utterances lead to the belief that he will uot keep his word. ’W of an attempt to throw the election of president aud vice president into the house. It is reasonably assured the Republicans will organize the next house, having a 'majority varying from ten to twentv-flve. All indications point to the defeat of Mr. Springer in Illinois. Mr. 'Holman foi Indiana and Mr. Wilson In West Virginia. The Democrats will lose after the 4th of March next their ascendancy in the United States senate. Unfortunately, for two years the Populists will ft >ld the balance of «power in the senate. Their number will be Increased there to six. Governor Tillman of South Carolina (his election to the senate is assured) will give them six members, and there is every possibility that the Republicans will have forty-two sena tors and 'the Democrats forty after the 4th of March next. Great as is the interest in the election In all parts of the country. New York ie the pivotal MEXICO’S BARTHQUAKE. The Shake Up Was Decided in Many Lsoalitlee. j, Many Changes Are to lie Made and the People Are Uneasy About It. Mexloo City, Nov. 4.—The earth quake which visited this section of the republic Friday evening was the moat severe which has been felt since 18B8. Reports of damage to life end property are <rtow in being collected, but it is know that thirteen people • -were killed In this city and at least three at outside points. Many roofs of old buildings fell and iu some instances crushed to death the occupants. All killed are among the lower classee. The earthquake was preceded by a rumbling rflbtervanean noise, followed LONG PEACE WITH RUSSIA.

THE GENERAL POLITICAL OUTLOOK South Carollma Expect. Llr.lf Time. Wlill. Florida will Hav* a Dem ocratic Walk-Orer—The Pro.* pict In LottliMiii. New York, Nov. 4.—All eyes are upon tho empire state. With every condi tion favoring a sweeping Republican victory one month ago, David B, Hill has thrown nimself into the breach aud attempted to stop tho tide. He has made a campaign that will be mem- ora hie for years to come. He has spoken two and ‘three times a day to vast crowds of people and has undoubt edly greatly diminished tho avalanche of votes which was gelng to the Hon. Levi P. Morton. Whether he has changed the tide or not will only bo known Tuesday night Should he lose or win, his untiring fight for Democrdcy has raised him in tho estimation of most people, irrespective of party. Tho Shepardltes and anti-Hill men have kept Everett P. Wheeler In the race, hut he will draw only a few thousand votes, and his candidacy Is uot ex pected to affect the result. Tito Re- publ.cans are* confident of winning. Charles W. Hackett, chairman of the state committee, predicts Morton’s elec tion by 20,000. Thomas 0. Platt says: •‘X am entirely confident of the elec tion of Mr. Morton." , The petting ;s lu favor of Morten at odds of 10 to 7, and many heavy wa gers have been laid that Morion's plu rality will exceed 25,000. DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT. The Democratic managers declare themselves spitlsttefl that-Hill will bo clee-ed. Claims of a 10,0u0 to a 110,000 plurality are made and the enthusiastic receptions given Hill arc pointed nut os certain Indications of the feeling all' over the state. The American Protec tive Association has been one of the leading Issues presented by tpe Demo crats. The proposed ’•eapportionmunt aud the tariff have also figured prom inently In the campaign. These l'aclora and the uncertainty as \o how they will affect the independent voters make' the result uncertain, doth parties wait the verd.ct of the ballots with confi dence. Tuo Democrats say they will hold their present-number of representatives In congress aud gain oae In New York City. Tho Republicans claim they wil' gain three in this city, three in Brook lyn and five up tho state. The Republicans also expect to elect a Republican legislature and to carry the constitutional anieadnu-nls framed by the constitutional convention which S:IL all tile summer. Tile Democrats aro making .a desperate fight against the new apportionment, and claim they have It beaten. THE CITY ELECTION. In this city Tammany Hall has ono of the hottest fights la its loug history on Its hands. The revelations of the Lexow Investigation committee have been used by the Republicans, the com mit lee of seventy and all tho other anti-Tammany organizations to down the local machine. An attempt was made by Dr. Parkhurst and others to Induce women to go Into tho campaign in large numbers, but It has not been a success. Col. AVIlllam L. Strong,tho anti-Tammany nominee, has liatl tho support of ministers, the press, with ouly two or three exceptions, aud the refox-mers. Ex-Mayor Hugh J. Grant, the Tammany champion, says he Is confident or winning by from 10,000 to •->0,000 votes, but the general opinion prevails tlia't this Is not a Tammany year. John TV’. Goff, the antl-Tamiuauy nominee for'recorder. Is certain of election over Recorder Smythe, who has been on the bench for fourteen years. This city will also vote on tho prop osition to build an underground rapid transit rosd by the municipality aiul upon the consolidation of Brooklyn, parts of Queens and Westchester couu- ttes and Staten Island Into the greater New. York. BETTING ON HILL. The betting tonight continued to bo In favor of the Republicans. One bet was placed In the St. Jam's hotel.at $12,500 -to $5,000 that Morton would win. Joe Vcadlg took up the III11 side of the bet Another bet was made of $10,000 to $4,000 on Morton. The money was placed by bookmakers, tvho seemed to ho tho only persous willing to put up money. Some ltookmaKors were offering $1,000 to $4,000 on Mor ten, but, as far ns could be learned, none of this money was taken up. 3ere Mahoney, the bookmaker, took up a few bets on the Hill side at lie best odds lto could get. It was said that Joe Vendlg had $50,000 altogether to bet on Hill, but he was waiting lu expectation that ho would get better odils. MANLEY VERY CONFIDENT. The Tribune will tomorrow print an bitertvew with Joseph H. Manley, chairman of the Republican national executive committee, on the present election situation, in which he says: "It ;s no prophecy to assert that the Rep jhllctns will carry the majority of the congressional delegations In twenty- six .. 'ce out of the forty-four on Tuesday, and thus have a clear major ity of the state sin the next house 4fl representatives, which will etld all ef forts in the presidential election of state, the section to which all eyes are turned, and afier all the most impor tant In its Its results of any election that wifi occur on Tuesday. From a careful survey of the situation, taking into account the different elements at work, it does not seem in the possibili ties to defeat Mr. Morton.” GONE HOME TO VOTE. The various political headquurters In the city wvre practically deserted to day. This general desertion was due to -two causes, the first being that the work of all is praotlcully concluded, aud the second that the majority por tion of those In charge live lu tile smaller towns of the state and hud gone home to see their families and to vote. All will return to the city on the first train leaving th-.-ir homes af ter- the polls open. Chairman Hackett of the Republican suite committee, however, takes, as is customary with him, a practical view of the voting matter, aud senator-like, has "paired.” Ho went to a friend in the city, who Is ulso a fellow-townsman of Ills, to ad dition to being a Democrat. Bach agreed to remain to the city and not go home to vote. At the Purk Avenue hotel Chairman Thatcher was -still 111 evidence, but will leave for dii? homo to Albany tomor row morning. Moj. Hinckley has been at his home In FougKkeopale for several days. Lieutenant Governor Sheehan return ed to Ms home in Buffalo on Saturday, as did Mr. C. J, Husom, who lives la Pen Yana. Secretary DcForrest will start tor Troy early tomorrow morn ing, returning Tuesday. This will leave tile Democratic headquarters during tho day on Tuesday to the care of Ser- geaat-at-Arms Trainor and Mr. AVag- ger. ThatJtie Democrats were looking out to lose no votes was @hpwn when these two men were selected. Both reside lu Washington, n*>» like all the citizens of the caixitsl, have no votes, so that nothing will be lost by not hav ing been in their cMy durlg the twen ty-four hours of election day, PROTECTION IS DEAD. London, Nov. 4.—In a. leader predict ing the vlotory of the Republicans" la America on November 6, the Dally ■News will say tomorrow: "Both sides are now tariff reformers, but the Democrats have not shown governing power. The rearrangement of parties is now proceeding to the states and the currency question prob ably will be the new batnlegrouud. Anyhow, ■ extreme prootectlon is cer tainly dead." IN SOUTH CAROLINA. The Fight Is 'For a Governor aud Seven Congressmen. ' Charleston, Nov. 4.—i'Ue campaign In this state began'ae 'a otic-sliled affair, the so-called reform faction' of the Democratic party having It all lltilir own way, neither Republicans nor con- servlatlvo Democrats nominating any candidates. The result was that lour promlucnt reformers presented them selves as candidates for governor. They were John Gary Evans, well known as a bitter partisan anil Tillman's -tool In the legislature; W. II. UUerbce, tho present comptroller-general, n young farmer and out-and-out reformer, but Dot so bitter as Evans; Sampson Pope, an original reformer, but ait anti-ills- pons,try man nnd In favor of harmony to the state, and W. D. Evans, presi dent of tlio State Alliance, a solid farmer and a moderate man. Conservative Democrats predicted that one of the more moderate of these would bc,chosen at tho Democratic pri maries aud would have so voted. Hut Irby, Tillman and Evans, seeing that if this was allowed tlio political scep tre would fill from their hands, deter mined that a reform primary should bo held so that tho cholco of a reform candidate would not oe decided by the conservative vote. Still the couserv- atlvcs hoped that a moderate candidate would bo" elected, but they hoped in vain. Evans was chosen at the reform primary. Then many of the conserva tives revolted and, In the hope of being aided by tho disappointed reformers, called a convention to nominate nn in dependent ticket, but cooler beads, see ing that an Independent ticket would omy consolidate the reformers, suc ceeded In defeating tho purpose of the convention and no tucket was nomi nated. Meantime, Sampson I’ope, ono of the reform candidates, had refused to run la the reform primary, aud when tbo general Democcat'o primary was held also withheld his name, so that Evans bad no opposition at tho so-called Democratic primary. I’ope then came out as an Independent can didate to try his success a t tho general election. He would have been snowed under, but late In tho campaign tho Joint resolution to call a convention to make a new constitution for tbo state, which at first had been tested as a uon-fsctiohal question ro bo decided by tho Democrats of nil shades of opin ion as they saw- fit, was made a fac tional issue by Senator Irby, tho leader of the reform campaign. The constitutional convention scheino was opposed by many of the riform- ers as well as by the best of the con servatives aaff" Republicans, and Pope coming out as an opponent of the con stitutional convention gave a new boom to his canvass and his candidacy be came a matter of Some Importance. He will be supported by many reformers, conservatives and Republicans, but It is not generally believed be can bo elected, as he has no orgau'zcd party at bis back. Nevertheless, there cun bo no doubt that a large majority of tho people of the state are opposed to the constitutional convention, sea if their ballots were counted the scheme would certainly be defeated. The ma chinery, however, is In the hands of politicians in favor of tho convention and It is not believed that they will stop at any fraud or force- necessary to carry their point. The seven congressional districts will probably continue as they are cow- six Democrats and one Republican. The cand'dates are ns follows: First, Elliott, Democrat; Murray, KepahU- cau. Second, Talbert, IK-uiorrat. Third, Latimer, Democrat Fourth, Wilson, KnoxvIoP, Nov. 4.—The fight 111 tills congressional district Is between John C. Houk, present member of congress, and Henry U. Gibson, both claiming to bo regular nominees of the Republi can primaries held last March. U has been the 'most bitter fight in the his tory of a-distrlct famous for political feuds. Both candidates claim election by good majorities. While the Democrats will vote for Houk, the chances aro largely to favor of Gibson. - In the First" congressional district, always safely Republican, the candi date's are W. 0. Anderson, Republican; T. A'. Cox, Democrat, and It. S. Chores, Prohibitionist. Anderson's majority will bo train five to ten thousand. THE LOUISIANA OUTLOOK. • New Orleans. Nov. 4.—Tho congres sional campaign lu this state has been the most active for years. The Demo crats claim Tuey will send a solid dele gation to congress from Louisiana. Oh the other'hand, the sugar planter Re publicans claim that they will cany the Second and Third districts sure, and hope to defeat Gea. Meyer In tho First by the election of lveruoelu. Nou- partlsans believe Coleman, Republican, w.ll be elected In the Second district nnd that Beattie, Republican, will re- recelvo. a majority of tlio votes In the Third district. HILL'S LAST DAY OK SPEAKING. Albany, Nov. 4.—Senator Hill re turned to this elty at 8:05 o'clock this evening and went directly to his home.

Florida's Express Case Will Huyo an Early Hearing. Washington, Nov. 4.—Among tlio cases before tho supremo court which has been advanced on the docket for argument owing to Its public character Is that of F. It. Osborne vs, the siato of Florida. It appears that Florida lias a. law requiring all express com panies doing business lu towns ot more than 15.000 Inhabitants lu that state to pay an' annual tax- of $200. Osborne, as tho agent at Jacksonville of die Southern Express Company, re fused to pay this tux. Ho was arrested and required to g.vo bond for his ap pearance before a state criminal court, which he refused to do, whereupon lto was arrested nnd lmprlsoued. Ho then made application to the circuit court for release upon a writ of labeas cor pus, but tho writ-was dented aud tho arrest and detention adjudged" to lie legal. The date supremo court af firmed this decision. Osborne now ap peals to tho supremo court of the Dnlted BtateirUpoii the ground that tho law under which the arrest was n.ado Is unconstitutional aud void because It is an effort to regulate commerce among the several states. Tho decis ion, when rendered, Is expected to deal with, this question In a general w.iy and will bo of more than local Im portance. • ALBERT EDWARD’S ARRIVAL.

MISSOURI'S COAL MINES. Mart-hall, Mo.. Nov. 4.—The Immense coat miiwB nine miles north of tnl.i city ha t Penn touted, and the n*w ownirs s.ir that the coat can he nustel ed placed o te dumri as low as _-j cents a ton. The supply seems to be teMMilit- l'/.e. An electric Uriels to be bud: Uom tbl-t city to the mine*. by a movement of the ground from north to south. This was followed In a few seconds by another undulating and stronger vibration from west to east, which In turn was succeeded by a shock from northwest to southwest. The three shocks, comtng as they did from different quarters, badly cracked the strongest buildings. Tall chimneys felt and walls standing north and south suffered great damage. •From telegraphic advices from cen tral and southern Mexico the disturb ance Is shown to have covered < .the state and federal dlstrlot of Mexico end,lamed from ono to four minutes. Hevritt distinct shocks were felt at JoJntla, in the state of Morelos, and some shocks were felt at Tulanclgo, 111 the state of Hidalgo. At OJusco an Indian and his wife were crushed to death under the roof of their adobe house. Being n holiday and one of •the chief festival days ot the year, the theatres were thronged nnd panics : bn- sued. Several peoplo were hurt In tho rush of exit and many women went Into hysterics. Tho songs on the stage were succeeded by impassioned prayers for forgiveness and confession of error. The plays were generally aban doned and the audience remained In the Beats, kneeling in prayer. The Pa cific Theatre was completely aban doned at the first premonition. Driver* and coachmen left their hacks to kneel In prayer along with the throngs send ing up their supplications, in palace and In humble home nothing but prayer was to be heard. The threat ened destruction was made more sol emn 'by the ringing of bells In the awaylng church towers. Not it church was Injured by tho twisting. The entire police force of tho city was kept busy during the night In at tending the casualties occasioned by falling walls and caving roofs. The police stations were crowded with peo ple brought In for temporary treat ment before being removed to the hos pitals. In Belarus, nnd other prisons, where many desperato criminals are confined, the scenes witnessed wore cu rious as the walls swayed and iho earth cracked, threatening to entomb the Imprisoned lnmateH. Tho convicts, almost without exception, fell upon their knees or grovelled on 'tho floors nf their cells, with loud, voloes calling out prayers and supplications. Many, supposing their end had come, shouted out confessions of past crime*. This Is one ot the most dramatic passages In tho passing of the event and may be of use to the officers of the law to un ravelling a number ot mysterious crimes In Mexico. The supply of water pipes leading from Chuputlepco to the city were broken and the greater part of toe cltv Is to danger of a water famine unless ’•the connectloti is Boop restored, Which will take some time. The elcc- trlo lights were extinguished, the dy namo axle In the plant leaping from the bed. Great cracks In tho earth ap pear In various parts of the city, es pecially in too northern section. THE SITUATION IN-FLORIDA Democratic Congressional Nominees Are Absolutely Bale. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 4.—Florida next Tuesday .will vote for two mem bers of the national house of represent atives and the Indication.! are that Messrs. Sparkman and Cooper, too Democratic nominees In tile First and Becond district*, respectively, will bo elected liy a handsome majority, in 'file First dlstrlot Hon. S. M. Sparkman of Tampa, who was nomi nated by tho Democrats to succeed Hon. S. R. Mallory, la opposed by Mr. McKinnon, Populist, of Mariana, lu tit* Second district Hon. C. M. Cooper of Jacksonville, who was named by tlio Democrats to succeed himself, Is op- POBCd by Mr. Atkinson, Populist, of Marian county. Both Messrs. Spark man and Cooper have canvassed their districts thoroughly, aided by u full corps of sable speakers, stnd they ex press themselves as confident that they will recelvo largo majorities. Thu chairmen of dive Democratic campaign commute** also talk likewise. The Popultet nominee* have dona but little canvassing and no one »e>*ms to take their candidature ecrlouaty. At the state election on Ootober 2 tho Pop- ullets carried but five counties, and those by exceeding small majorities. They arc likely to !o«e oven these five oouotlcs next Tuesday, a* the Demo crats uro better organized and more thoroughly aroused chan In the suite election. It Is absolutely certain that uie Democrats will elect Sparkman and Cooper to congress by large majorities. BIG TROUBLE EXPECTED. There May Be Bloodshed In IButte on Election Day. Butte City, Mont., Nov. 4.—The cam paign in *tho state at large was brought to a clow, with last night's meetings, both side* concentrating their strength In Hutto for too final struggle. It tuts been a battle royal. Every expedient known in contest* of chin kind ha* been resorted to and ev ery pa/wion and prejudice has been played upon. Whore cajolery has fail ed coercion has been attempted, and where both failed bribery has been un- scruplouBly resorted to. November 4 will be a memorable day to Butte. The unprecedented bitterness which ho* been aroused by tho active part taken by prominent men In the city will certainly culminate on elect ion day, and If bloodshed Is avoided It will be a miracle. In addition to tots, the gravest fears are eutertalned of a collision between the Catholics and the American Protective Association. The mayor has ordered all saloons dosed on election day, and It is understood that the governor has ordered all the state militia to bo In rcadim*s to go to Butte at a moment’s notice.
