VOLUME _____•> KO. 68. EVE OF THE GREAT BATTLE Republicans and Democrats Both Contident of Victory. ESTIMATES AS TO THH RESULT DIFFER WIDELY. Betting on the General Result Shows a Chausre, Odds Now Doing in Harrison's Favor, While Two to Ono Are the Figures on Cleveland Carrying New York—Reports From Various states the Night Before the Polls Open. Special to the RKOOSD-UHTOS. New Yokk, Nov. 7. —netting on tbe general result of the Presidential election ; at the Hoffman House to-night showed a change of odds in Harrison's favor. Two to one continued to be oli'ered on the chances of Cleveland's victory in the Btate. The corridors and cafe of tho hotel appeared to be overrun witli Hurri- . son men, and Harrison money on tho ' general result w«-nt hejjjrinsr. Michael F. Dwyer's commissioner, Joe Vetding, created a sensation by refusing even money bets on the general result and offering fOOO to 31,000 Harrison money. On that basis bi- money was eagerly taken up in several quarters, but he kept ou oliering it in almost any amount. At the Kepubliean Committee rooms late this evening Chairman Harkett was Confident that New York State was all right. He said tliat Friday last lie ex d the opinion tliat tho Republican would come down to Harlem with 90,000 I majority. He waa even more confident now. He didn't think the Democrats in NeA* York, Kings, Queens and Rich- ! mond Counties would lie able to get a ; greater majority than in 1-88, and thought Harrison's majority in tho .State would; bt- larger than that year. At Democratic headquarters the an- : nonncement was made that there had . been an increase in tho registration in New Yotk, Kings, Queens and Rich mond Counties which should give no less than 90,000 majority. He does not think the Republicans will meet this with more , tl ..in 00,000 bom the rural districts. Thoru fore, tbey expect ::0,000 plurality for Cleveland' in the State. Chairman llarrity claims Xew York, ! Indiana, New Jersey' Connecticut, Wis- Sonsin, six from Michigan, an I a fair j probability of Colorado, Illinois and j lowa. lion. J. S. Clarkson to-night said all | doubts of Harrison's election were gone. ! Last week lie classed Xew York, Con necticut, Indiana, -Nevada, West Virginia I and Delaware as doubtful States, but to day took Indiana and Connecticut out of the doubtful column, which gives Harri son 252 elcctoial votes, aud elects him v\ ithout New York. NEW YORK. Weather Prospect tor To-day Xot Very A_MUi_B*. Xkw York, Nov. 7. — Tlie weather prospects for to-morrow are not very alluring. According to the weather b lrcaii a heavy storm is now in progress in the lake region, and this evening there is here a cold., drizzling rain, probably the advance guard of the .same storm. A storm to-morrow would probably extend from Virginia northward over tbe Midd .-. Atlantic and New England States, and whin- it may clear otl before night, the weather bureau say-- it is not probable. All over the test oi the country it will be ! oold anl clear, according to the present in iicationa. Arrangements are all completed for the c •-.-lion in this city to-morrow. On be the Federal authorities, a force o Supervisors and Deputy l nited - Marshals will watch proceedings at the polls to keep the peace and watch out for i i proposed Hands. There will be six or seven thousand Supervisors and , Deputies. Sheriff Gorman i^ also ready to put a lot ol men in every election dis trict to walcn tbe Marshals, and tiie police have received instructions to watch them all. it is therefore likely that ihe res ume of so much force will deter all parties from any attempted fraud*. It is tlie general opinion of the city authorities tbat the anti-lection stories oi expected trouble wili amount Co as much as they did in former years tiiat i>, much talk and very little trouble. Judge Barrett said to-day that lr.cn the ' opening to tbe closing of tbe polls to-mor row ihe Jiidges of the Supreme Court v\ ill attend iv turn, two or three.it a time, in tiieir Chamber, at the County Court fa luse, as has been the custom in prec . ihg_y»ars. lius will greatly aid people who may be arrested illegally. Information was received at tbe United Slates Marshal's office to-day thai a body of 000 colonizers, whose destination was Coney Island, had been shipped from Pittsburg and other uurts in Allegheny O unty. Chairman Hackett of the Republican State Committee was seen by an Asso ciated Press reporter this afternoon in regard to a dispatch sent out tn* Lieuten ant-Governor Sheehan, alleging tbat the Republican state Committee had seat paster ballots up the State headed by William stciuuuy and Richard Croker, Democratic Electors, and followed by tiie names of the Republican Electors. Hack ett said the statement was unqualifiedly laise, but added tbat it was exactly what the Democrats had done. He had a sam ple paster from up the Slate wnieh had been mailed by the Democrats to a Ke publiean. It was headed by Henry \\". sage and Jesse seligman. Republican Electors, and the names of thirty-four ooratic Electors followed. He un derstood tho Democrats hau been spread ing these right and left among Republic ana throughout the State. BUFFALO CS. ¥.), Nov. 7.—Lieutenant- Governor Sheel.au, when asked to-night what ho thought of the situation at the closing hour, replied: "We will carry Now York State. UI that I havo not the slightest doubt." ISUI, ATIO.N ut* TitOtULE. KriKAi.o, Nov. 7.—There is every In dication of trouble to-morrow. Tne Ke publiean managers have sworn in a -mall army of Deputy Marshals, and in sist on having from two to live Marshals in each election district. The Sheriff has sworn in about 300 deputies, and the Democratic managers declare that every Dcmncrat arrested to-morrow will be bailed out at once. IN TUE NORTHWEST. Both Parties Confident of Meeting with -nooses. Csicaao, Nov. 7.—The close of the campaign finds both political parties con fident in the Northwest, The Democrats for the most part feel assured that they will elect their Governor in Illinois, anil there are many who even expect the Electoral vote of the State to be cast for THE RECORD-UNION. Cleveland. The Republicans laugh at these pi eten-ions, and the State Com mittee appears to be quite contident of a i Republican victory ail along the line in : Illinois. Prom the branch Democratic National! headquarters here telegrams were sent to-day to all local committees in tbe •*■• rthwest assuring them that a careful i poll left no room for doubt of Cleveland's j ■in Illinois and Wisconsin. Thia ; afieru,oon the Chairman of the Western ; headquarters gave to a representative of ! She Associated Press the following state-; ment of the situation in the .Northwest: . *iri Illinois the Democratic organization; lias never been in Letter condition. From j vi parts of the State I have received let- j tcrs showing the Democrats infused with \ the prospect, irom a carefhl examina- Lion of the polls received from this State i believe the two parties will come to Chicago very nearly even, and that tho ; v here will be over 4,i«Xi, which : will give the State to Cleveland and Alt- : geld by a handsome plurality. ■'1 have just received a dispatch from ] Chairman ( ampau of the Michigan Dem- I ocratic I ommittee, saying that the De- ! mocracy will nave eight Electors, a large ' majority of Congressmen aud a Demo cratic Legislature. A dispatch just re- ■ Ceived from the Chairman of the South Dakota i'einocratic.State Committee gives me assurance that the Weaver Electors will have a plurality, carrying out the policy oi the State Committee iv Dakota, of supporting Weaver Electors. Chair man Hail of the Wisconsin state Com mittee telephones me that he has no rea son to change his estimate made public last Saturday that the Democrats will have a majority of l;-t,0U0 outside of Mil waukee, in lowa our friends have made a good light, and predict that they will carry the State. I feel that tho present Republican admission that lowa is fairly to be counted as a doubtful State as much of a victory as I can claim for tue party ■ in a Stale always so overwhelmingly Ke publiean." lion. William J. Campbell of Illinois a member of the Republican National Committee, said to an Associated Press j reporter that lie believed that Illinois | would give a majority for tho Harrison Electors larger than four years ago, and . that Governor Filer will be triumphantly I re-elected. Campbell's latest informa tion from Wisconsin is of au assuring character, and he felt sanguine of a ma jority for Harrison and the election of I Spooner as (iovernor by a plurality of several thousand. He did not regard lowa as any more in doubt than Ohio or Pennsylvania. Regarding other AY est ern States, he said: "I know tne mem bers of the National Committee feel that the situation has steadily improved for a fortnight, aud the Republican leaders are sanguine of success everywhere except in Nevada. The loss of a portion of the Electors iv Minnesota is possible, but by no means probable. My advices lead me ) to believe, that while the voto may be ! close in Indiana, the chances are decid- j edly favorable to the Republicans." Tlie iiu'ications late to-night are tbat a I lignt vote will be polled in many por- j tion-, of tue Northwest, because Of to- | day's storm. Dispatches from St. Cloud, \ Northfield, Redwood Falls and other points in Minnesota report a heavy gale, attended by snow and a rapidly falling temperature. In Wisconsin, Northern lowa and Northern Michigan similar conditions prevail. WISCONSIN. Milwaukee, Nov. 7.—The vote in Wis- I consin to-morrow will be compared witn j tiiat of l-SS, when Harrison received 176, --55_and Cleve.and i. ..,-'_, a Kepubliean plurality of _i,_l.

D.i, Nov. 7.—Otto Pee- ! miller, Chairman of the South Dakota vratie Central Committee, claims ; South Dakota's four electoral votes for Weaver by a plurality of v.750 votes. He declines to express himself upon there- 1 port that the Democratic voters are being urged to vole for tlie Weaver Electors, and not for Cleveland. 'Ihe Republicans, however, are confident of success. NOR. II DAKOTA. Fargo fN. D.i, Nov. 7.—The Repub lican State Committee claims that the Harrison lileetors will be chosen by from 2.0 »i to 3,000 plurality, and that the state i i: k t will pull through with good ma- I jorities, and ..that the Legislature will be ! Republican, 'ihe Democratic State Com- j mittee, which has fused with the People's j party, claims both National and Slate tickets, the former by from 300 to 1,000, and the latter from :*,uoo to .1,000. Chairman Spalding of the Kepubliean Committee says a careful canvass has convinced the commitiee that the Harri son (.lea-tors will carry the State by 2,000, the Republican Congressmen by 1,500 and the State ticket by 1,000. chairman \iaiv.tta of the Democratic Committee claims tho State for the Fu sionists by 2,000 to 3,000. The Legislature will bo very close, aud it is claimed by both sides. i ■ Qservative politicians place ihe State in tbe doubtful column with the chances favoring tue Weaverites. INDIANA. Result In Doubt, Both Parties Claim ing v Triumph. Indianapolis, Nov. 7.— 1 here is prac tically no change In the situation in In diana. Tiie result is still involved in doubt, and both sides are claiming the triumph of their Electoral ticket and state oilieers by a good round plurality. The People's party Chairman places the Populist vote in the State at 49,500. The Populists claim inteen members of the Legislature, and that thoy will hold tbe i al.in.-e of power in lhat body and dic tate tne election of a successor to Senator Turpie. 1 lie I'lohibitionists claim a vote of 18,000 in the state, which is probably 8.000 in excess of what they will receive. The Prohibition.and People's party vote are quantities lhat give the situation an element of great uncertainty. llie comparison ofthe vote to-morrow will bo based on the vote of 1890, when the Democratic State ticket was elected by 19,000 plurality. There are 2,8_l pre cincts in the State, and to overcome the plurality of two years ago the Repub licans will have to ga:u an average of nearly seven votes to' the preciuct. KANSAS. A Chango Since Saturday ln Favor of the Fusionists. Topbka (Kas.), Nov. 7.—The situation in Kansas, as far as it lias undergone a change since Saturday night, changed slightly more in favor of the Fusionists to-day, the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Filth District withdraw ing in tavor of the Populist candidate. Fusion is now accomplished in all the districts excepting the Sixth. The Chair man of the Republican Stale Committee claims everything. He says they will, without a doubt, have a majority of from ten to twenty thousand on the Siuie and National tickets and will elect every Con gressionai candidate. The People's party men and Fusionists have e\ en more Confidence than the Re publican-. The Chairmau of the Popu list Stale Central Committee claims the election of Liewellyug, candidate for Gov ernor, by a majority of at least 12,000, ami says \\ caver will run ahead of the State ticket by at least ln,i«.i t votes. Tho fus ion between Populists and Democrats has been arranged in nearly every Legis lative and Senatorial District in the Slate, and indications are that the Legislature will be auti-Keptibliean,although the Re publicans claim they will have a major ity and will oie.a Senator Perkins to the United States Senate. The Fusionis.s, on the other hand, claim that they will even have a larger majority than in the la>t Legislature, when they elected Peffer to succeed Ingalls. In the Congressional campaign the Republicans have made a particularly SACRAMENTO, TUESDAY MOKNING. XOVEMISEII 8, 1592. strong fight for Jerry Simpson's scalp, ,' and the PopnUsts have made an extra- , ordinary detens. to save it. The result is awaited with much anxiety. COLORADO. Betting; In tho Poolrooms Is ln Favor j of Weaver. Dkxvek Col. , Nov. 7.—The political outlook in Colorado is a difficult one to figure ou, because of the six tickets in tho field. Chairman Griftith of the Re- < publican Committee expresses the opin- j ion that tho Harrison State an 1 (.'ongress- I ional ticket wiil be elected by 10,000 plu- j rality. Tliis is stotitlv contradicted by I Chairman McKinley of thedevelandib s, who recently withdrew their Electors and adopted the People's party ticket. : McKinley thinks the Weaver ' Electors will ha\e a plurality of from 8,000 to Chairman Arbuckle of the Weaver ticket, and a free-coinage Democrat who fused with the feople's party, thinks the entire ticket will be victorious, with tbe probable exception of Congressman from the First District. Chairman Stone of the People's party is confident of the election of Weaver aud the balance of his ticket in the State. Retting iv the poolrooms ou the result j iv the state is 2 to 1 iv tavor of Weaver. CONNECTICUT. Republicans nnd Democrats Alike j Confident. Nkw HAVES (Conn.), Nov. 7. — The '■ Chairmen of both State committees were \ inter viewed to-night, and Chairman Ren- j ton of tho Republican Committee said he expected his party would secure a safe i plurality for both Kloetoral and State | tickets. Ile looked for the election of a | Legislature Republican in both branches. Three out of four Republican candidates for Congress will be elected, and he will I not be at all surprised if the parly made a dean sweep, insuring a full representa tion of Republicans in both Houses at Washington. Chairman Davis of the Democratic Committeo says he is absolutely certain the Democratic Electoral ticket in the State will have a plurality of not less than -,')! 0. He said the election of the Gov ernor will be thrown into the Legislature, which is iv doubt as to political com plexion on joint ballot, and no one could foretell the result. The lie crats are sure of three Congressmen out of four. NEW HAMI'SHIRE. Democrats Concede the State to Har rison. Concord (N. H.}, Nov. 7.—At Republi j can headquarters it is claimed that the ! State will go for Harrison by upwards of 1 2,500; that Smith will be elected Gov ! ernor; that both Blair and Raker will be | elected to Congress, and Republicans wilt ! have n good working majority iv both branches of the Legislature. At Democratic headquarters the State : is conceded to Harrison by a small plu rality, and it is claimed their will be no ; choice for (iovernor by the people: lhat : the Democrats will elect both Members I of Congress, and the Legislature willbe i very close. WEST VIRGINIA. Tho Stato Acknowledged to be Ex tremely Doubtful. Charleston (W. Va.j, Nov. 7.—That I West Virginia is an extremely doubtful i State is acknowledged by the conserva tive element of all parties. Thero aro I four tickets in the Held—Democratic, Re ; publican. Prohibitionist and Populist. I The last named party had a considerable | foothold, but within tbe past three or four ! weeks numbers have deserted tiie ranks iund gone back to tlie old parties. The Prohibitionists cut no figure of import | ance. A great battle is on between tho j Democrats and Republicans. Each claim the Stato by from 1,500 to 3,000. SOUTH CAROLINA. ! No Doubt of the Democrats Carryiiia* the state. Charleston, Nov. 7.—No interest to speak cf is taken in the coming election. | There is no doubt about the result in this I State, so there is no excitement. The esti mated vote will stand about this way: Cleveland, 70,000; Harrison, 20,000; Weaver, 1,000 to 2.000. The indications point to the election of five Alliance and two Democratic Congressmen. ALABAMA, Threatened < onllk-t Between Stato ■-in! Federal Officers Averted. Birmingham (Ala.), Nov. 7.—The Stato law of Alabama permits no one within j thirty feet ol the polls except oilieers of : election. Tlie threatened conflict be- I tween State and Federal officers was averted by a mutual agreement signed by the Marshals and Sheriffs to-night, that neither would permit their deputies to transgress the State laws by going over the limit. 1 TAIL Throe Tickets In the Field for Dele gate to Couarress. Salt Lake, Nov. 7.—Tlie only general ticket in the territory is for a delegate to Congress. Three candidates are in the field —Clarence I. Allen (Liberal-Republi ■ can), J. L. Rawlins (Democrat) and Frank IJ. Cannon ' Mormon-Republican.) The Church party has hitherto been the People's party. This year there was a | split, and numbers called themselves ! Democrats or Kepubliean, a< tbe case j may lie. Doth pledge Statehood for Utah. | The Liberals ot.poso Statehood, aud have made the.r canvass to that opposition. They expect to poll about 7,000 votes, anil on that vole to say tliat I tali is not yet properly prepared to enter the Union. Kor a time the tariil" was the main de bating issue between the church. Repub licans and Democrats, but for the past lortnight the chief etfort has been directed to showing tho Mormon rank and tile that their leaders favored Democ racy or Republicanism in their lifetime. The past few days of this campaign for church iniiuence has been embittered by persoualities, the result of all being to cement the claim of tue church Repub licans that they will elect their candidate, wbo is a son of George Q. Cannon. The Liberals claim the situation to be an indi cation of the contention that the church rules absolutely iv I'tah. and therefore it is unlit to be a state-. The campaign closed here to-night with a joint debate between Cannon and Rawlins, and by a grand rally by the Liberals. NEVADA. The State Will Probably Elect Weaver Delegates. Vircunia (New. Nov. 7.—Weaver will probably carry the State. Newlands, third party Representative, will also probably get a majority slightly less than Weaver's. Stewart has an even chance of losing four counties iv his Senatorial contest—Store}*, Washoe, Ormsby and Douglas—in which ease he will be "beaten by tne opposition hold-over Republican Senators. Reno (Nev.), Nov. 7.—The silver com mittee claims the Electoral vote of Ne vada by a majority of _,uuo. There are two Democratic State Committees, one for fusion and the other straight, but the latter, however, concedes the State to the Populists. WAsniXGTON. The State Claimed by Both Central Committees. Tacoma (Wash.), Nov. 7. — Within twenty-four hours both Democratic and : Republican state Committees have re* reived reports from all counties in the ■"tate. The Republicans estimate that Harri son *. ill carry the State by 8,000 plurality, md McGraw's plurality for Governor is placed at 4,0 0 to 5,0 0. The Democratic Committee claims tho State for Cleveland by 1,000 plurality and .he election of Sniveiy for Governor by {,30ft. Doth parties claim tho Legislature. OREGON. Hie Democrats Will Support tho Weaver Electors. Poim.AND, Nov. 7.—The situation in this State has changed somewhat ii past twenty-four hours. Tho edict has ! jone. forth from tno Democratic Statu ; L'eutral Committee for all Democrats who I lesire the election of Cleveland to voto i for Weaver. There was mounting in ! hot haste by the Democratic loaders early I this inoruing when it was definitely ' agreed upon by them to ignore tbeir parly ticket and to support tliat of the third j party. \\ ord was wired to all the county i md State committeemen of the proposed :tctioi:. lv o special trains were chartered | mill started through the State carrying tin-order and distributing circulars. The * nue on the Southern Pacific goes to Ash- ] laud and ibo messengers aboard were D. : R. Murphy, Chairman of the Stale Cen tral Committee, and J. L. Sperry. The nue on the Union l'aciiicgoesto LaGrande xud conveys John Rarrett and T. J. O'Day. There the messengers have wired the Central Committee from various points to tho effect that the action is meet ing the approval of the leading Deino erals, who recognize the only way of keeping the JState lrom Harrison is to vote for Weaver. Judge ('. D. liellinger, i of tlie County Campaign Committee, Issued an address this afternoon, calling upon the Democrats to support Weaver. 1 he Democratic State Central Committee i to-day announced that they havo : advices from niteen out of the thirty-one l-ounties in the state that the Democrats iv those counties will ignore their party ticket and vote for the People's party Electors. The tickets have all been printed by \ tlie County Clerks containing the names of the three Democratic Electors, and it j is reasonably certain that many Demo- : crats will vole for them. The Democrats I claim that the Weaver Electors will havo j from I_, ;<K) to 15,000 plurality. The Peo- | pie's party managers estimate the Re publican vote in the state at3S,COO, the Democratic at t;7,000 and the People's at 25,000. 'I'hey claim that if the Weaver Elector- receive 10,000 Democratic voles their election is assured. ihis estimate is probably an exaggera tion, as in the last June election Un people cast only 13,500 vo;es. The Republicans say they are not dis turbed in the least by the fusion of Dem ocrats and People, and that Harrison will carry the State by 10,uuU plurality. CALIFORNIA. The Three state Committees Claiming a Victory. San Fbanclsco, Nov. 7.—Tho campaign in l 'aliiornia closes with the thre*- princi pal siate committees claiming victory to morrow, though the Democratic claims are mado with certain qualifications. .Max Topper, Chairman of tho Demo cratic Committee, says if 20,000 votes are polled for Weaver the State will go for Cleveland, and from information iv hia possession he is inclined to the belief that the Populist vote will bu largo enough to secure a Democratic victory. The Populists- Committee claims thai Weaver will poll over 50,000 votes, and carry the State by a small plurality. Chairman Meyers of the Republican State Committee will not venture any statement as to the pluralities, hut says that the committee has the greatest confi dence thai the Stalo will go for Harrison. OVATION TO CA.MIN KTTI. -ONE, Nov. 7.—Congressman Camiuetti returned to Amador County to-day. lie was met at the train by a large di legation of citizens, who gave him an enthusiastic reception that amounted to au ovation. His opponent. John F. Davis, was on the same train, and wiien the cheers lor i am* Inetfct had somewhat subsided Caminetti proposed three cheers for Davis, which were given with good nature by tlie as semblage. Mr. Caminetti was then con ducted to Isaac's Hall, where he spoke for an hour, and then proceeded to Jack son, at which place the campaign in the county closes. UU; DKMONSTRATION AT RIVERSIDE. RlvSßfflEos, Nov. 7.—Governor Mark ham and wile arrived here this evening, and to-night the Governor headed one of the largest political demonstrations ever held in San Bernardino County. AT TDD WHITE HOUSE. Arrangements for Furnishing News to ttie i'resident. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—The usual ar rangements have been made for supply ing early information of election results to-morrow to the President. After tlie business of tlie day is over and the actual returns begin to come in, the President will have the company of Secretary* Jolin W. Foster and Attorney-General Miller, and possibly one or two personal friends, and together they will read tho returns until it is time to retire, or until some tangible result is in sight. People who sa-.v the I'resident to-day say il he feeis any anxiety he does not show it. He is cool and collected and betrays no sign of worry. Attorney-General Miller is confident lhat no trouble will arise whatever at tho polls because of federal officers in the performance of a legitimate public duty. He authorized tho statement thai United States Deputy Marshals will not want to force themselves behind the guard rails at election booths in New York or else where, and will only go beyond the limit prescribed by the State law in order to make arrests or preserve i^ace. May be More Indian Troubles. Kansas City, Nov. 7.—General Miles passed through here to-day, having com pleted his annual inspection ofthe Indian reservations. General .Miles, in an inter view, stated that the condition of affairs was satisfactory everywhere, excepting among the Cheyeunes and Arapanoes. The latter tribes ho expects to go on the warpath, unless the Government take^ steps immediately to relieve them from threatened starvation. Sim c their reser vation was opened to settlement, their ignorance of agriculture, combined wiih the poor character of the soil, and with the disinclination of the Indian to work it, has resulted iv bringing them to a con dition verging upon starvation. French Victories. Paris, Nov. 7.—The <iovernor of Porto Novo telegraphs that Colonel Dodds at tacked the fortress at Muaco November _d and captured it after a desperate light. The Dahomeyans attacked tl c French column on November 6th, but after four hours' hard lighting were defeated, the French having one oiiicer and sis men killed and tour oilieers and sixty men wounded. Dr. and Mrs. Talmage. Birmingham (Conn.), Nov. 7. — Dr. and Mrs. T. Dcwitt T.lmage spent Sun day here. Dr. Talmage spent most of tlie day answering telegrams conceruing his so-called disappearance. He was much annoyed at the stories concerning his wile's mental condition. —-» Chicago, Nov. 7. —The Esquimau baby born here a few days ago died this morn ing of sore throat. SITUATION AT NEW ORLEANS. The Strike Has a Demoralizing Effect on Business. ALL THE UNIONS OUT EXCEPT THE! COTTON LABORERS Nota ' . Car Runiilns.—Littlo Work Heine Done, and the Only Sisrn of Actlv..!- Is in the Wholesale Gvo rv A'istrlet, Aeainst Which the 1 .tribe Is Chlefi. Directed—Cotton Planters Oirar to Assist tho Mer chants lv a Proionsed War Aarain^t Villous. special to tbe R-Cord-Unio-t. New Oh__a_s, Nov. 7.—The effects of the strike are more apparent this morn ing. There are a low drays on the streets and small spring wagons for general use. No street cars are running. The city is remarkably quiet and very little business is bi ing done. At 7 o'clock a. .v. all the printers struck and the outlook for morn ing papers is not very bright, though they will try to get out editions to-mor row. The Daily States, being a non-un ion office, is not aiTected aud will publish as usual this afternoon. Tho decision of the printers tg join the strike braced up the other wavering or ganizations and the result is all tbe un ions which signed tlie call ior a general strike aro now out except the cotton laborers. These have been allowed to re main at work, notwithstanding they are an Important factor iv the situation, in order not to arouse the opposition of the powerful Cotton Exchange. It is under stood, low ever, the men are ready to quit whenever the word is gi\ en. ■Not a sUeet car is running, no work is being done, and the only sign of activity is in the wholesale grocery district, against which ihe strike is chiefly di rected. The new men there are willing to remain at work till violence becomes so general as lo make it unsafe. The grocers say If necessary they will close for thirty to ninety days. Aii the papers are closed by tlie strike except the Daily Mates, which is heavily guarded against reported attempts to prevent it from coming out. Ihe proposiliou made through tho Gov ernor last night to arbitrate the question of hours and wages, but let the question of unionism alone, has not been replied to by the labor side, but it is hardly thought it will be accepted, as the cry of unionism is made the rallying point for labor bodies. The merchants say they will not recede further. Tbe militia is ready to come out at short notice. There is very little violence so lar, and nothing to warrant the sending of troops to tlie assistance of the police. Tlio Mayor this afternoon issued a proclamation warning all citizens of his intention to enlorce vie law, and declar ing any breaches of the peace would be followed by arrest and imprisonment. MII.ITIA IN READINESS. New i IRLEANS, Nov. 7.—Governor Fos ter has the militia in readiness lor imme diate action, but believes it well grounded that no steps will bo taken until Wednes day, as any serious trouble before would not only complicate the electiou here, ■ -nt in otber sections. The idleness of su h a large body of negroes and the despera tion ensuing npon tbe loss of earnings is feared, and the Democracy wiil have a hard time to maintain supremacy in con sequence, as ihe crowds of strikers and tho absence of street cars will serve to keep many ofthe better clement away trom the polls. In the meantime the Governor is using every means to bring about an amicable settlement. Having procured conces sion from the merchants, the Governor referred the matter to the unions, and they took the matter under . onsideration aud promised to give an answer by noon to-day. Up to to-night, however, noth ing had been heard from them. The merchants carri don business to day as well as they could, and determined to stand firm. They have received promises ol support from other organ izations, and it said tlie Executive Com mittee received a letter from Governor Warmouth, Republican leader in tb • State and a large sugar planter, saying the planters desired the merchants to .tana linn. as victory for the unions would mean the organization of negroes throughout the State. The supremacy of the blacks isa constant menace to busi ness, and the eonvertion of producing plantations into grazing hinds. Somo ofthe largest planters in the State wore in tlie city to-day, and said the strike meant so much to them that they wen-willing to answer tho lirst call lor men or money sent out by the merchants. As soon as the election is over the leal battle will begin, and it is believed tho city authorities will throw off a good deal of tho lethargy charged against them. Governor luster has received an opinion from legal authorities. He can step in to preserve the peace without being called on by tbe municipal authorities. Besides this, tlie merchants will determine upon strong measures on their ownjaccount. The merchants say a number of men nro willing to return to work, but did not propose to be made targets forthe union until thoy were ready for a vigorous de fense, and so they declined to take them back for the present. The strike fails to affect tlie newspapers to the extent expected, and th-- only paper which so for has failed to appear is Un- i 'em, official organ of the strikers, al though that is expected to appear to-mor row. The most serious feature of the situation is the suspension of the lighting systems —gas and electricity aim some alarm was felt when the officers of the two elec tric lighi companies called upon the Mayor and said they thought they could lurnish light if granted protection for i men engaged to take tlie place ol strikers. , This was readily promised. During tho afternoon the President of the Sugar aad Rice Exchange asked the Mayor that protection be furnished those interests.

Nov. 7. —The Secretary of the i Amalgamated Association of Cotton Spinners estimates that 58,000 persons will bo rendered idle by the combined! strike and lockout in the cotton-spinning l trade which began Saturday.
