BUSINESS MEN IN LINE.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARADE IN
GOTHAM A BIG SUCCESS.
The Btcck Fxchange Club 1,200
strong —Columbia College Turns Out
600 Students and the College of the
City of New York 400—Every Busi
ness Represented.
New York, Not. s,— The excitement and
activity of the business exchanges was
transferred to the neighborhood of Bowl
lug Green and Broadway and Chambers
streets this morning. The Business Men’s
Cleveland and Stevenson clubs were getting
readv for their grand parade. The first
division was aet down to move at 1:30
o'clock. Several hours before that time,
howevor, the men who were to march began
to come together at the places of formation.
The cool, crisp air tbut whistied around the
street corners imparted springiinens to their
steps. The gloomy weather of yesterday
made mauv fearful lest the uuinbers that
were expected would not turn out. But the
marked change in to-day’s bright sky only
changed their anxiety to a greater enthusi
asm. At 10 o’clock the scenes about the
places of formation gave the impression
that the previous estimates of the uu nuer
of persons who would be in line were alto
gether too low. Gen. Martin T. Mar Mahon,
grand marshal; and Capt. David Wilson,
his chiof aide had arranged for the parade
to line in two divisions. The lirst one began
to form this morning with Us right on
Broadway, east, at Chambers street. The
clubs and business houses that were to make
up this division prep red to fall in all the
way up to Worth street. Maj. J. H. Mu-
Do aid, assistant grand marshal, in oom
mand of the first division, superintended
this .’ormation. As he rode from the bead
of the line to the roar guurd it took but a
glance to show him that many thousands
would march at his command.
THK SECOND DIVISION.
Col. William V. King had been appointed
to command the Second division. He or
dered the l ear of bis division to form at
Bowling Green, and those ahead on the
cross streets up Broadway. This division
was to be by far tbe greater of the two.
From the indications, early this morning,
it was thought certain that 40,000 men
would turn out in the two divisions. From 10
o’clock on enthusiastic business men formed
in detachments at various points in the
city, and marched to stioets near the places
of formation. Almost ail of them wore
distinctive olub badges and carried
canes and flags. The men were
thoroughly representative of tho best busi
ness interests of the city. The representa
tion was a general one. All tho prominent
business concerns sent delegations to repre
sent them in the line a;.d show tho enthusi
asm which they all felt for the democratic
ticket.
Toe drygoods, wine and spirit merchants,
lawyers, insurance men, jewelers, drug and
chemical merchants, crockery and lamp
raerehanta, hide and leather merchants,
hardware merchants aud Italian citizens’
clubs was among those represented. Men
from every walk in business and profes
sional life, were on hand to take part in tbe
great demonstration. Besides, there were
immense delegations from all the ex
changes—stock, consolidated, produce, mar
itime, coffee and cotton. Columbia Col-,
lege and tbe College of the City of New
York turned out in full force. The
time set for the second division of the pa
rade to start from Bowliug Green was 2
o’clock.

THK MOST PICTURESQUE FEATURE.
The most picturesque feature of the parade
w as the Jefferson Pioneer Corps in striking
uniform of gray, with bear akm bats. The
Procession got under way at 2 o’ciook. At
occasional points along the route there
were buildings appropriately decorated.
The usual form of these was a groun of
American flags entwined about the portraits
of Cleveland and Bteveuson.
At the democratic national headquarters
a temporary grand stand had been erected,
and was tilled with members of the national
aud state committees, their friends and
attaches cf the headquarters. The budding
itself was u mass of bunting, with enormous
portraits of the candidates as centerpieces.
OLD GLORY EVERYWHERE.
Aside from flags, both Atnerioan and
club, the oniy banners and pieces carried
were those of the Puck organization, con
sisting of a few lines about that paper’s
loyalty to the domoeratio tioket. A massive
figure of John Bull was stuffed with straw
and inscribed “Borrowed from the U. O. P.”
The ootton exchange men had rigged up
a truck in representation of a plantation
scone, with cotton pickers at work.
The Lexington club carried a piece of ths
old bell that rang out from the meeting
house at Lexington the call to arms in 1775.
CLEVELAND ON THK STAND.
At 2 o’clock amid the cheers of the crowd,
Mr. Cleveland stepped from his carriage
with John A. Sullivan and Waiter Stanton
and took his place iu the Madison square
grand stand. Among the others in the
reviewing stand were: Mayor Grant,
Thomas F. Gilroy, William C. Whitney,
Controller Meyers, Corporation Counsel
Clark, Health Officer Dr. William J. Jen
kius, John D. Crimmius, J. Edward Sim
mons, ex-Comtaisslonar Coleman, Mayor
Gleason, E. H. Parker and J. H. V. Arnold.
A basket of roses stood alongside
of Mr, Cleveland. Tbe parade
reached the reviewing grand stand at a
few minutes before 3 o’clock and occupied
nearly two hours in passing. Ex-Presideat
Cleveland smiled and bowed as club after
club raised their hats to him ami cheered.
Notwithstanding the oold wind blowing
Mr. Cleveland returned the salutes.
As several clubs passed, in doggerel ths
members vociferously aunounoed the branch
of business which they represented.
Who are we? Who are we?
West side business men, Hully Gee.
The jewelers, during their march, kept
up shouting:
He's fine, he’s fine, he’s 18-carat fine.
It was after 6 o’olook before the last of
the parade passed tho grand stand, and Mr.
Cleveland hurried out of the ould to his
carriage aud was driven home.
ARMED MSN AT THE POLLS.
Marshal Jscobus Swearing In a
Regular Army in New York.
New York, Nov. s.— United States Com
missioner Deuel was busy this morning in
room 43 in the federal building swearing
in special marshals to act at tbe polls next
Tuesday'. About 900 men were Bworn In
last evening and it is reported that fully 500
men were bworn in to-day. United States
Marshal Jacobus, when asked this morning
how many special marshals would be pro
vided, replied that he could not tell. ‘ ’There
will he at least one for each polling place in
tho city, that makes 1,185. Then wo will
have to employ some in looking up and
arresting those meu who have been ille
gally registered at mauy of the polling
places. All the men needed for the proper
protection of citizens and to Bee that tho laws
of the United States are faithfully carried
out will beappointed.” Maishal Jacobus de
nied the report published this morning that
the money for the payment of these men
came from the republican headquarters.
He said they were government employes,
and while be did uot know the political be
lief of all of them, yet he supposed them to
be republicans, as the national administra
tion was republican und those in its employ
should be of the same shade of political be
lief. Marshal Jacobus also intimated that
the marshals, iu addition to their badges
aud warrant of authority, would bo armed,
so that in case of any confllot with officers
acting under authority from the state or
city they may be prepared to exert the au
thority of the national government, which,
he claims, Is paramount to that of city or
state. Marshal Jacobus also said he should
be sorry to see any fight, but. he added, the
meu would be protected iu their efforts to
see that the law is faithfully carried out.
INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFICERS.
Supervisors to be Allowed Behind the
Guard Rails.
New York, Nov. s.— The circular of in
structions to election officers prepared bv
Mr. Rodeubough, chief of the bureau of
elections, was placed before the police com
missioners at an executive session yester
day afternoon. At teat time the circular
contained instructions not to permit United
States supervisors of eleotiou to remain in
side the guard rails at the various {polling
places. Commissioner McClure, the repub
lican member of the board, and Mr.
MoLe in objected to this. Tue latter said
the iaw gave the police commissioners no
power to interfere with the federal
authorities. President Martin and Mr.
Bheehan, the Tammany commissioners,
wanted to change the circular, but Mr.
McClure and Mr. McLean deolared that
they would not issue instructions which
would conflict with the United States laws.
The circular of instructions adopted to-day
does not debar United States supervisors
from going behind the guard rail at booths,
but instructs the olection officers to permit
ballots to be examined during the canvass
by United Prates supervisors of sleddon.
The election inspectors, however, are oau
tioued not to give ths ballots out of their
hands.
TAMMANY FACHS THK MUSIC.
Davenport and Jacobus Being Fought
Tooth And Nail.
New York, Nov. 5. —The Tammany
hall committee of lawyers met again this
afternoon aud addressed another letter to
Inspector Davenport, and also sent a copy
of the letter to United States Marshal
Jacobus. The letter was signed by several
prominent lawyers not members of the
committee. The letter calls attention to au
oniulon rendered by Justioe Brewer of the
United States supreme court while he was
United States circuit judge, that a federal
officer has no right to arrest a man at the
polls and thereby prevent him from voting.
The man should be allowed to vote aud
then be arrested. Tho voter takes the risk
on himself when he votes.
South Dakota Democrats.
Sioux, la., Nov. s.—The democrats of
South Dakota.having failed to fuse with the
People’s party . have withdrawn their ticket
from the field. The domoeratio state central
committee mailed thousands of circulars to
weil known democrats in the state urging
them to vote for the populist elootors aud
prevent the electoral vote of the state
going to President Harrison.
Populists Split.
Canton, 0., Nov. s.—Dr. Barnes, who
was deposed from the chairmanship of the
populist executive committee, declines to
surrender the books and cash to his suc
cessor, George Felt, who was choseu by the
committee. The matter wlil be taken to
the courts. The deposition of Hames has
split the party.

Albany, N. Y., Not. s.—To-night was
held the closing rally of tbe democrats of
Albany. Senator David B. Hill was the
principal speaker, and he received a cordial
welcome from the democrats of hit adopted
city. He was escorted from the Dolavan
bouse to Harmanus-Blecker hall by the
phalanx, and he reoaived an ovation on
the way. Tbe hall was taxed
to its utmost capacity if it
ever was. Ths boxes were ocoupied by the
families of prominent oitizens, white on the
main floor many ladies ware observed.
Prominent democrats occupiod seats on the
stages County Treasurer John Bowo called
the meeting to order, naming Arnasa J.
Parker a* chairman. Gen. Pa.ker, with a
few brief remarks presented Senator Hill.
Hs received a aiagulfloent greeting, lasting
several minutes.
hill’s speech.
He said In part:
Fellow Citizens— l use this term now Id a
different sense from that used by me at the
time 1 addressed you last year Then I had
come from a distant part of the state to speak
tor the democratic candidates and democratic
principles. To-night I have traveled here from
the Ninth ward of your city on a similar mis
sion.
The senator immediately entered upon a
discussion of the tariff, and dwelt upon it
for some length. He said;
The turning point of the contest next Tues
day is federal taxation, its sum and method.
The republicans do not venture to assure the
country that a republican congress and Presi
dent will keep the sum of annual federal taxes
much. If any, below $500.: 00,000.
By what methods, then, can the sum be raised?
We, democrats, prefer custom house taxes,
supplemented wherever necessary by internal
revenue taxes, if they are not such direct taxes
as land taxes ot income taxes, which last are
odious because they pry into private affairs,
THK m’kinlky law falls short.
The present McKinley law could not raise last
year even $178,000,000 out o( the $300,000,000.
Why? Because its schedu'es were not arranged
to obtain revenue, but to prevent revenue. If
the republicans shall prevail ail along the line
next Tuesday, they must modify the McKinley
law if uatiouai bankruptcy is to be
prevented. or else must lay odious
dir. ot taxes. A tariff law that will not
yield $178,000,000 cannot stand in the placo
of $500,000,000 of annual expenditures. Tbe
existing; tariff rates, therefore, must be forth
with disturbed whiobever parly wins next Tues
day.
What is the "republican protective tariff?" If
you will look at the answer given by Gov. Mc-
Kinley in hie Brooklyn speech last Monday you
will see.
HOW m’kinlky wound himself op.
This is It: “I will tell you the difference be
tween a revenue and a protective toriff. A
pitcher like this at my hand pays a duty of 55
percent. Tnat's republican protection, ikuow
It and I helped to put It there. It was put there
to enable industries to be established to make
this kind of ware at home and It baa done it.
If you want revenue, then I am frank to say 55
per cent, is too high. It discourages importa
tion and builds ud industries here. If yon want
revenue, put It lower and increase importa
tion."
That McKinley answer doea three [things:
First, it tells what "protective tariff’’'is and
what a "revenue tariff” is. Second, it tells why
the McKinley law is a "fraud" forbidden by the
federal constitution, r.s are every legislative
“fraud.'' Third, it tells why the McKinley law
onuld not put over $178,000,000 into tbs people s
treasury. No wit of mine can add anything to
the vindication which Uov. McKinley
there makes of the Chicago plat
form, denouncing his tariff law for a fraud and
for unconstituttonallty. Those who finally In
flicted that tariff iaw on congress ad the
country, could not have prevailed if congress
and the country had been told that the rat s
had bean arranged to prevent the getting of
money for the people's treasury and to exclude
importations by afeuce. behind which one ola s
in our country oould tax and plunder another
class.
THK TIN PLATE TARIFF.
Gov. McKinley professes that he would build
new pottery works cere in order to create anew
demand and opportunity for American labor and
increase of wages for our American men and
women. That is a tin plate pretension, but ex
Postmaster .lames exploded it by a sentence in
speech of his. when he said: "I found that in
Wales a number of sturdy Welshmen are un k
ing ready to move their iin industries to this
country in order to improve thoir condition
and enjoy in this favored land the benefit of our
wise protective policy.”
I have no prejudices against tho emigration
to our shores of good, honest and industrious
men from Europe If they come be e under
normal circumstances to abide with us forever,
but I resist the McKinley custom house alluring
to our shores European pauner workmen by
bounties paid out of taxes indicted on you, my
fellow citizens.
AN ANSWER TO DEPEW.
Mr. Depew derides the position of the Dem
ocratic par: yon the tariff que-tion. hut I can
tell you, anil it is within your knowledge, that
greater "panics’’ have come in our country
from bad management of Mr. Depew’s railway,
from fires and deaths occurring from stoves
and colliding trains than from democratic
tariffs for revenue. If Mr. Depew had time to
study facts he could find that the Schuyler
railway frauds had more to do with starting the
panic of 1857 than did the little federal
taxation then existing under democratic
auspices. It is perfectly true that one whore
views our national history in order to discover
tbe cause of a "panic” every twenty years or so
will be misled if he thinks only of taxation legls
la.ion and not of occurring legislation and vice
versa, but it is also true that international dis
turbances. as from 1806 to 1815 aud as from
1800 to 1860, bad legislation in regard to United
States banks, state hanks, coinage, hard money
and soft currency, silver d-montization, legal
tender greenbacks and tbe overtrading thereby
caused, have created more financial panics than
have come from low taxation by the democrats.
Senator Hill then dwelt briefly upon other
issues of the campaign and exhorted bis
hearers and all men who believe in demo
cratic: principles to see that their votes are
cast next Tuesday for Cleveland and Steven
son. He was frequently interrupted by ap
plause, aud war listened to with close atten
tion by his audience.
Senator Hill concluded his remarks by
saying that the democrats would carry New
York state and that Cleveland and Steven
son would surely be elected.
MINNESOTA IN DOUBT.
New Voters May Give tho State to
tbe Democrats.
Minnf.apolih, Minn., Nov. s.— There is
groat danger that all the voters of Minne
apolis w ill not be able to vote at tbe coming
election, owing to tho enormous registra
tion. The registration is all new and was
a surprise all round. The total is 48,580
votes, and in some precincts the number
runs over 700. This, with the complex sys
tem of voting, leads to a belief that
many of the voters will be
shut out. The political situation
iu this state is iu doubt. No one can tell
how the thousands of new voters will turn.
As examples of tho enormous iucreace iu the
registration in Minneapolis, which will
make tbs result in tbe state doubtful. Is the
fact that various wards show au increase
over the vote of two years ago of from 23
to 207 per cent., tbo latter in tho Twelfth
ward. This tremendous iuorease is bother
ing all the politicians, and the demoorats
sav that it means that the repubiioaus are
no longer sure of tbe state.
CLEVELAND SURE TO WIN.
: The New York Kerald Canvasses the
Whole Situation.
New York, Nov. s.—The Herald
sums up an exhaustive canvass of the poli
tical situation throughout the country,
which it will publish to-morrow in these
words: “New York is emphatloally a demo
cratic state. Indiana, as also distinctly in -
dieated in the cauvass, seems to lean toward
President Cleveland. Connecticut is iu doubt,
but tbe Herald' special correspondent re
?;ards the state as a hard field for the repub
ican managers. There has been nothing
revealed so far to indicate that the solid
south has been broken, with the single ex
oeotion of West Virginia, whose six elec
toral votes hang uncertainly, the probabili
ties being democratic.
NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC.
“Taking the republican estimates on the
national tioket in New York from the most
conservative sources, county by county,
President Harrison’s lieutenants do not
olalm the state by more than 3,700 plurality,
while the democratic estimates from equally
conservative sources, county by oouuty,
give tho state to Mr. Cleveland by a plu
rality cf 22,000. New York etty will con
tribute nearly 60,000 dem oratio plurality,
and Brooklyu will possibly give a plurality
of more than 17,000. These figures are not
based upon democratic or republioan esti
mates. They are based upon careful figures
from both sides and independent investiga
tion.
THE SOLID SOUTH.
“While it is truo that the solid south re
mains practically intact, it is not true that
the northwest uppears t > he solid for Harri
son. Montana and Oregon, for instance,
are exceptions. There is a good deal of
shouting and professing in Illinois, but no
test has shown any serious break in the
normal condition of its vote, unless it may
ho that loudly advertised revolt of German
republicans against that party. In a nut
shell Air. Cleveland has gained thirty-six
votes over his score iu 18-18, and the only
points where he is threatened with loss aro in
West Virginia and Connecticut, which cast
only ten electoral votes.
EFFECT OF THE THIRD PARTY VOTE.
"The People’s party will toko many more
electoral votes away from President Har
rison than be will gain iu the new s'ates.
Ho will have to fight hard for Indiana, with
tho canvass against him, and with the
utmost effort can barely win ia Con
necticut.
“As for New Jersey, Massachusetts and
other old-timere, it is a mere waste of words
to discuss them. They will support their
respective parties in the usual way."
Hpeaking editorially regarding its great
forecast, the Herald says: “This rev to w is
written without flourish or ornament. It is
not intended as a lever to Influence results,
but ns a clear and simple explanation of the
investigations of impar ml agents of this
paper. The Herald has no oaudidate and
will have no candidate.’’
The Herald will to-morrow print a com
posite pioture of Cleveland and Harrison.
It will also print eight pages of political
forecasts, showing strongly in favor of Mr.
Cleveland. It will make no announcement
of its preference.
1LL14013 WALL ORGANIZED.
Every PreoiDct Thorounrhly Worked
Up by .the Democrats.
Chicago, Nov. 3. Work at the demo
cratic headquarters here is praotically
wound up. The confidence of tho leaders in
the success of the work done knows no mod
eration. The oalmest and most candid ex
pression they will allow themselves to make
is that Illinois is democratic beyond pere l
venture. They then ait quietly down and
figure up majorities of frum four to five
figures in a row. Whatever may
be the outcome tbe stute has never been
worked so thoroughly as during this cam
paign. The organization, It is claimed, was
never so complete and business-like. A
single circumstance is oited to prove this.
It was early decided to have sumo trust
worthy authorized representative in etoh
school dlstriot, who was to act in that par
ticular locality as the mouth-ulnae or the
state committee. To this end, engraved
credentials were issued.
MADE PRESIDENT OF THE PRECINCT.
The document made him president of the
preoiuct. It instructed him to be director
of the democracy in his neighborhood, to
poll all the votes, to get all the democrats
duly registered, to have those requiring it
naturalized and see that they come out oil
election day. These leaders have acted,
arousing an interest never before known,
which has created hope of success. They
saw a ooance for victory, aud Ibis one faat,
the committee says, will bring out rafts of
iuke-warm democratic voters. The repub
lican headquarters are also nearly ready to
olose up. The chairman, Col. J. H. Clark,
and Secretary Jamison have but
little to do now but to await
the results of thoir efforts. They profess
confidence equal to that of ths democrats.
The candidates have made the best cam
paigns that have ever been made in tho
state. Gov. Fifer, in particular, has almost
killed himself aud is so worn cut that be
will have to take a rest of several weeks
before be will be in any kind of shape.
NEBRASKA’S COMPLICATIONS.
Many Democrats Refuse to Vote for
tho Third Party Men.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. s. —The olose of the
campaign in Nebraska shows affairs in a
very complicated condition. While there are
three vets of electoral tickets the spectacle
is presented of the demooratio managers
doing everything in their power to keep
their candidates from securing votes. Of
course this urging will prove effective lu a
large number of cases, hut there are many
democrats who declare that they will stand
by their own tioket. The republican
state committee depends entirely on
the proportion of democrats who
roi'use to obey tbe orders of their
party managers. Tbe chairman of the
democratic state committee predicts that
their advice will be generally followed aud
that their tioket will he elected by at least
3,000 plurality. Republican managers, how
ever, assert that the populists who formerly
affiliated with the Republican party have
been convinced of the uselessness of a vote
for Gen. Weaver, except t ■ aid Mr. Cleve
land, aud that they will vote for the Ha: il
sou electors in sufficient numbers to offset
the democratic vote for Weaver.
A CANDIDATE SUES FOR LIBHL.
He Was Accused By a Paner With
Promising Patronage.
Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 5.—A libel war
rant was to-day sworn out by Prof. H. P.
Emerson, the republican candidate for sup
erintendent of educatiou, against Norman
E. Mack, editor and proprietor of the

Bismarck Indulging In Sensational
Stories.
(.Copyright, 1892, by the .V. F. Auoeiated Frees.)
Berlin, Nov. s.—During ths omniug
week several important meetings of party
leaders will be held in Berlin, preliminary
to tho opening of the Reichstag. The gen
eral drift of political developments points
to the government securing a majority for
the army bill, through a coalition of the
conservatives, oolite i-t* ami members
of the Relchs party. Prince Bismarck's
denunciations of tho bill, as being utterly
needless, have failed to influence oven tue
national liberals, whose organs deprecate
tbe popular agitation against the govern
ment proposals, and urge a cautious line of
position. A meeting of tho national liberals
at Wurtemberg took the strongest
line of attnok against the bill in
declaring that Germauy was unable
to bear the Increased taxation proposed.
It was shown that a vass majority of the
income of Prussian families were under
900 marks yearly. With regard to the to
bacco tax it was shown that there had been
a decline in the reoelpts of last year of 54,-
000 marks as compared with the preceding
half year. The receipts from tho salt tax
had declined 260,000 marks and from the
sugar tax 1,740,000 marks. The decline in
the receipts from these articles of common
consumption is taken as proof that the peo
ple aro cflreaJy overburdened by taxation.
THE POLES AGAINST IT.
The Polish group in tbe Keiohstag, which
has hitherto been a stanch supporter of the
military projects of the government, have
weakened on the same grounds. Their
oilloiai organ, the Oziennik Poznaneki,
says that the exhaustion of agriculture in
Prussian Poland is so complete that the peo
ple will be uuable to bear further imposts,
und that the Polish party will he obliged to
refuse to support the army bill, uot through
iil will to the government, but solely be
cause inorsased taxation will be Intolerable.
The group, whloh nurabeis sixteen, will
probably a otaln from voting on the meas
ure. Deducting tho Polish vote, ths min
isterials are still confident that they can
carry the measure by a vote of about 184 to
164. About a soora of the votes are un
certain.
BISMARCK’S SPLEEN.
The latest interviews with I’rlnce Bis
marck continue to excite interest rather as
outbursts of personal venom than political
manifestoes. He hits all around, striking
his dead as well ns living adversaries. Re
ferring to Frtuoe Uortsohak >ff, whom he
i Inscribes as a malic inns personal enemy,
Priuce Bismarck says he was allowed a
lump sum ot money from the Russian
treasury for official telegrams Instead of
devotlug tho money to this purpose he put
it in his own pocket and used the German
ambassador and other officials as his tele
graphs medium with the czar. The czar,
no added, told him that vanity bad made
Prince Gortscbakoff Billy. Prince Bismarck
says that another old colleague of his,
Count von badowitz, proved that he could
not be trusted because he drank. After his
third glass of wine ho gave Ills tongue rein
and blabbed all he knew-. Refer, ing to tho
anti-Semitic agitation of the conservatives
the prince apnlies a Coarse phrase to the
Hebrews, saying that the conservatives la
setting out to get state legislation against
tbo Jews got hold of the wrong vermin
killer. Borne of the prince’s state
ments ars denounced as fiction.
The Vosriche Z.eitanq calls them
important mistakes. Herr Richter’s Frtis
inri'je Zeituny says his remarks are devoid
of historic truth. Thus his assertion that
tbe late Emperor William wanted to annex
part of baxony in 1866 and the story that
Count von Moltke urged au inva
sion in 1875 are both questioned.
A PLOT AGAINST OAHHKTTA.
Among the episodes that Prince Bismarck
tells now is one about a Sonapartist agent
who, in 1871,came to him'duriug tha nego
tiations for peaoe and offs: ed to go to Bor
deaux with half a dozen resolute men aud
assassinate Uambetta and other members
of the provisional government. Then the
emperor was to be recalled to France, the
Germans holding the country until the em
pire was re-establisheLPrliioe Bismarck ho
iieved that the project was possible, hut re
futed to agree to it, thinking that mon
archical France would be more dangerous
to peace than a republic.
Again alluding to his aversion to reap
pear in the Reichstag tbo prince says that
many of the members would treat him as
though he was pest -stricken, adding that a
Hamburg cholera ua’lent would be better
received than be. Newspapers concur in
their expressions of regret at the undigni
fied character of his utterances. Even pa
pers friendly to him agree that his language
is unworthy of his past career.
WEAKNESS OF THE DHIKBUND.
A pamphlet by a military writer, Maj.
Keim, and au article iu the Militar
Wochenblatt inspired by the war ofllco re
spond to attacks that have been made upon
the army bill. The Militar Wochenblctt
frankly states that in the event of war the
Russian army is ao superior to the
Austrian that Germany would ho
obliged to help Austria on tbe
eastern frontier, while fighting France on
the western frontier. Bhe would be but
feebly assisted by lialy, who would be un
able to invade Fiance and have great dif
ficulty iu defending her own coasts from the
French fleet. Maj. Keim contends that war
is inevitable. The increased taxation
strengthening the army will, he declares,
save the fatherland many millions of debt
contracted by an unfortunate war. Both
the pamphlet and article will cause
au immense advance in the mili
tary power of France and mini
mize tbe value of the alliances with
Austria and Italy. The Vurwarrts so
cialist, publishes reports from leading com
mittees in Germany suggesting the subjects
to be discussed at the oorning congress of
the Socialist party. Among the motions to
be made is one to tbe effect that the so
cialist members of the Reichstag should re
sign every two years aud take the opinion
of their constituents ou their re-election.
This promises trouble for the central execu
tive of the tarty, os it has the support of
numerous circles. Tbe congress will again
discuss the question whether religion is a
private matter or whether it is to bo branded
as au enemy.
Herr Grillenberger declines to accept tha
mandate lie has received to attend tho con
gress as a delegate, on the ground that he is
too busily oocupied with his electoral
campaign.

The emperor has ordered that a bronze

LOSS OF THE ROUMANIA.
The Surveying Lascars Tell the Story
of the Wreck.
London, Nov. 5, Tho correspondent of
the Times at Lisbon has interviewed tho
lancers who were saved from the crew of
the Anchor Line steamship Roumaula that
went ashore last week near Peuiche. They
say that Cspt. Young did not leave the
bridge from the tlmo ho left Liverpool until
tho ltoumania went ashore. Hut two ships
were sighted on the ill-fated voyage, and
no light was seen nor land distinguished
till the steamer struck the rocks. Tho watch
below were asleep at the time. They tumbled
out, only to be washed overboard as
they came on deck. While In ths water
the Jlasoars who were saved saw the captain
on the bridgo giving orders and holding a
blue light In Ms hands. They beard him
shout, "My God" wnen a wave dashed him
and three officers to tho deck below. Every
one ou deck at the time was washed over
board. The ladies remained in tho cabins.
The men among passengers tried to lower
the boats into tbe terrible saa. The "lasoars
think that many passengers must have been
killed bv the rails breaking loose. The
Times correspondent says that he has heard
ot another English ship that narrowly
escaped stranding at tho same spot.
LONDON'S LABOR HALLY.
Only 200 Persona Turn Out to tbe
Trafalgar Bquara Mooting.
London, Nov. 5. —Twelve hundred police
were concentrated iu and about Trafalgar
square to-day for the purpose of watching
tho gatheriug of the unemployed workmen
who proposed to hold a groat demonstration
la tbe square. In order that in the event of
trouble the workmen would have no ground
to complain of their treatment by the police,
the Tnouuted police were deprived of their
swords anil ordered to carry batons
only. The home secretary instructed
the chiof of police to refrain from
interfering with the crowd unices they be
came riotous, in which case he was in
structed to stand uo nonsense. Instead of
the vast throng of unemployed that was
expected to gather, not more than 200 per
sons were present ot 2 o’clock, tho time set
for tho meeting. The affair was a most
c implete fizzle. A few rod banners and
mottoes woro seen. Among the latter were
two reading; “ i'he Power of the Rich is
the Obedience of the Poor,” aud “Unem
ployed, Demand Your Rights."
DEACON’S DAUGHTBH.
Her Mother Abducts Her From a Con
vent After tbe Loss of the Suit.
Paris, Nov. s.—Mrs. Deaoon has ab
duottd her oldest daughter from the con
vent In which she was placed pending the
result of the dlvoroe proceedings. Mrs.
Deacon was defeated, and the custody of
the children was awarded her bnshand.
Mrs. Deacon reached the convent before the
result ot the trial was known there, and,
upon a pretense of taking the girl out for a
ride, got her into a carriage and has so far
eluded search. Mr. Deacon reached the
convent a few hours after his wife bad se
cured the child. The convent was at An
tonie, in the arromlisseinent of Paris, and it
is uot thought possible that Mrs. Deacon
can get out of France with her daughter.
Mrs. Deacon will appeal from tbevordiot
against her by the tribunal of tbe Seine tn
the action brought by her for divorce from
her bushanu. The appeal will be heard
Wednesday. Mrs. Deaoon’s lawyer to-dey
offered to surrender the ohild now in her
possession, but he named certain conditions
that Mr. Deacon refused to agree to, and
consequently the negotiations fell through.

THE ASSESSMENT Oi TRAUKB LAID

No Intimation That He Will Take
Any Action lu the Matter Before the
Election Federal Office Holders
Sending m Republican Blackmailing
Circulars to the Civil Service Com
mission.
Washington, Nov. s.—The Invitation of
ths civil service commission to federal
officeholders, large and small, to forward
to it information as to political assessments,
has brought a flood of letters to tbe come
mission from aii over the country contain
ing complaints. All of them, without ex
ception, charge the political assessment
circulars they havo reoelved to the repub
lican, and not to the democratic campaign
committee. In a large number of them
moral but not legal proof establishes tha
truth of the charges. In some of them tha
evidence submitted would satisfy juries and
judges. AH these latter cases have been
promptly brought to the official attention
of the Attorney General by tho civil servioe
commission. But the personal attention of
the Attorney General, who is on the
stump in Indiana, being now concentrated
on tho same purpose for which the political
assessments complained of were levied, it is
not strange that ho has taken no stops to
secure tbe indiotment and conviction of the
offenders. It is entirely safe to ay that
they will never bo brought to justice by tha
department of justice under this ndmtnis
tratl n. The acting Attorney General is en
tirely too busy arranging for the iuterfer
ferauoe of an exeoutive foroe bill in tbe elec
tions of Tuesday.
A CAB It LAID BEFORE HARRISON.
Washington, Nov. s.—The oivil service
commission has sent to the Attorney General
ooples of a olroular sent to C. K. Ketoham,
p ostmaster at Dltney, Ind., and of a letter
written by tills postmaster 1 1 the editor of
the Nonconformist. "It appears from thia
lettor," says the cornmlisliu In its letter to
the Attorney General, “that John JC.
Gowdy, chairman of the Indlaua repub
lican state committee, has sent a letter to
Mr. Ketcham, this letter being addressed to
him as postmaster at Dituey, Ind. Ia
this letter a request is made for
fundi to Insure republican sucoess, tiie let
ter stating in one plaeethnt legitimate ex
panses must tie met, aud in another that tbe
success of the tiokot Is involved, as well as
the pleasant conditions about you. It
would certainly appear that in addressing a
letter to C. K. Ketcham as postmaster at
Dltney, Mr. Gowdy has been guilty of so
liciting him In a government building. Ths
papers are also turned over to your office
for such action os you may deem wise."
TEXT OF THE CIRCULAR.
Following is a copy of the circular re
ferred to:
Bear Hin— The campaign is now on. a fierce
battle is to bo fought. The importance Of re
publican sucoess in this state cannot be over

full state ticket, the possible election of a
United states senator and tho contingency of
success to the party in the union. A period iu
tie campaign has been reached when your
Counsel and your substantial aid should be ten
dered. No good republican or
Other persons desiring to continue the present
favorable conditions can afford to be indifferent
or tall to recognize the necessities or the com
mittee Involved in organizing and conducting
the campaign. Legitimate expenses run t he
met. The success of the ticket is involved as
well as the pleasant conditions about you. You
understand the necessities for funds with which
to defray expenses. We a lufidently expect you
to give generous assistance, aud this cannot bo
more timely or effective than ir given at pres

DON’T LOOK FOR A CONFLICT.
Acting Attorney General Aldrich
fallen About tbe Deputies.
Washington, Nov. s.—Acting Attorney
General Aldrich was besieged by newspaper
men to-day for Information in regard to tha
policy of the administration on every pos
sible election controversy. He said to one
aud all that the polioy ot the department
had already been clearly defined and could
not possibly be misunderstood by any in
telligent citizen.
He was asked: “Do you anticipate trouble
between tho state and federal autborltlesf
“ No, I do not anticipate any trouble what
ever,” he answered, "relying as I do on tbe
patriotism and good sense of the people."
“Have you considered the possible use of
troops in protecting law officers!”
"No, we have not. The possibility of the
necessity for using troops has not been for a
moment contemplated. As 1 have already
said, the marshals are peaoe officers, and are
carefully Instructed uot to incite or invite
violence of any kind. Nor do I construe
Gov. Flower’s proclamation as in any way
conflicting with the views of this depart
ment in its position that in an election like
the one ou hand the federal laws are
paramount where thero is any oonfliett
with tbe state laws. It s oms clear to me
that the election may be conduct’d peace
ably in all tbe states and that uo conflict
should occur between tho federal and state
authorities anywhere. lam sure that such
will be the result everywhere if the same
forbearance Is practiced bv tho state au
thorities as has heeu eo joined on the federal
officers, if lam quoted in this matter I de
sire to emphasize the position of the depart
ment as heretofore stated—that tbe United
Htatos marshals and their deputies ure nob
partisans and are not to make any discrimi
nation between tbe parties in tbe perform
ance of their duty-’’
Mr. Aldrich was asked if he had not seen
the President during the morning. He ad
mitted that be had, but wanted it distinctly
understood that his visit had no political
significance whatever.
Assistant Secretary of War Grant left
Washington this afternoon for his home ia
HyUnnespolls. As Becreturv Elkins is also
alnent from the city, Maj. Gen. Bchofleld,
who is in command of the United States
army, became ulso acting secretary of war.
This function devolved upon him by desig
nation of the President made early in tha
administration in conformity with Die usual
practice, which is inte ided to guard against
a vacancy in tbe head of the department
during the abseuce of tbo secretary aud
assistant secretary. Gen. Bchofleld has fre
quently served in the capacity of actiug
secretary of war during this and the
preceding administration. As was
asked this afternoon whether he antici
pated any call for troops ou election day or
had mado any preparations for their use,
he said that be was acting iu an official
capacity and had no opinions to express.
The law relative to the use of troops was
embodied iu the statutes, bad been ex
pounded in opinions of the Attorney Gen
eral, was well known to lawyers, and wus
within easy access of all. “You can say,"
added tbo general, “that there has been uo
Intimation from any official source that
troops should be used. No precautions have
been mode for such use, aud there has been
no suggestion or intimation that such prep
arations should be made.”
