MOST SPEAKS IN CHICAGO.
Principal Attraction in the Demonstration
in Memory of the Hanged Anarchists.
Chicago, November 12. One thou
sand anarchists went out to Waldheim
cemetery yesterday afternoon to attend
a demonstration in memory of Spies,
Parsons, Fischer, Lingg and Engel,
. who were hanged for the part which
j they took in the Haj-market riot. Herr
I Most addressed the assemblage. One
. thousand of tha red-bedecked men 'pa
' raded the streets and marched to the
I Wisconsin Central depot, where they
J boarded a train of twelve cars. The
train was wrecked, however, at 40th
street, ana the passengers nad some
difficulty in reaching their destination.
The plaee of the wreck was a junction.
As the train a pproached it at the rate of
about twentv-five miles an hour, the
engineer noticed that the switch was
set for the wrong track, and blew his
whife- As the the engine
went over the switch the switchman
shifted his lever, sending the front
trucks of the engine on one track and
the other wheels on anpther track.
The engineer and fireman jumped, but
the engineer was probably fatally in
jured. The engine and first car were a
total wreck.
COULD NOT HAVE CONVICTED.
Selected Jurors in the. Richardson Trial
With Their Intent to Acquit.
Memphis. Tenn., November 12. This
morning Attorney-General Patterson
presented to the criminal court affida
vits "upon which he asked the discharge
of the eleven jurors who have so far
been accepted for the trial of Smith and
Richardson, accused of the murder of
six negroes. He also asked that the
sheriff, McCarver, be relieved from
duty until the conclusion of this trial.
i Attorney-General Patterson yesterday
received information that the mm sum
moned for iury duty have been chosen
in such a way by the sheriff and depu
ties that it will not have been possible
to secure a conviction, however guilty
the accused. It was the habit of the
! officers to ascertain the feelings of citi
zens before summoning tnetn and only
those favorable to the accused were
called for service. One accepted juror
remarked in the hearing of a deputy
who afterwards summoned him, that
he would not convict a white man for
murder in any case. It is also learned
that since the incarceration both Smith
and Richardson have frequently been
j allowed to go out of jail and have visit-
! d the neigh Uorhooo ol the lynching.
THE NEW ORLEANS TROUBLES
In
the Levee Matters the Injunction
Against the Whites Being Tried.
1 New Orleans, November 12. Today
th injtjnction a!?ainst the white or-
ganizations m the levee matter in the
L nited States court will be tried, and
much depends upon the result. If the
temporary injunction should be dis
solved, the whites would no doubt re
sume their reign of terror and the ne
groes be driven from the levee. The
state and city authorities having failed
to afford the colored 'laborers adequate
protection heretofore, the probabilities
are thev would not do so hereafter.

MOVING OF THE INDIANS.
MobUlzation of Tbelr Forces in the Indian
1 erritorj ontinues.
Habtshorn. I. T., November 12. No
hostile demonstration has yet been
made by the Indians, but the mobiliza
tion of their forces continues. A band
of sixteen passed through here Friday
night and another of fifty some three
hours later, all heavily armed. It is
not known to which side these belong.
The 200 who passed Friday morning,
though, were intent upon avenging the
executi6n of Simon Lewis. It is 'said
upon reliable authority that two large
bands of Choctaws are in the neighbor
hood of the Jack Fort mountains, and
that they are being constantly rein
forced. The Choctaw district court will
be convened at Wilburton Tuesday,
when the twenty-six prisoners, indicted
for the same offense for which Lewis
was executed, will be placed on trial.
It is claimed by some that the present
display of force is to intimidate the
court, and by others that the object is
to await the necessary assembling of
all the officials concerned in Lewis ex
ecution to exterminate them.
CONFESSION OF POISONING.
A Wife Tells How She Tried to Murder Her
Husband.
San Bebjtahdo, Cal., November 10.
Mrs. Samuel Karnes, who was arrested
with Thomas Salter, charged with ad
ministerine arsenic to her husband, has
made a full confession of the crime.
Barnes may live, but will never fully
recover his health. The drug penetra
ted every fibre of his body, paralyzing
the nervous system and seriously af
fecting the brain. It had been fed to
him for months. Mrs. Barnes says'that
Salter urged her to elope with him.
"But I could not," she continues, "bear
the thought of this, and told him I
would not until my husband was dead.
Salter then proposed to shoot him.
But I could not bring myself to mur
dering him in cold blood ; so poisoning
was proposed by Salter. He bought
the arsenic and brought it to me. We
mixed it in everything my husband
drank or ate. I was heartily sick of
the work many a time, but I could not
back out."

-&5D LAFE PENCE LED THE ATTACKS.
Openly Invited to Leave the State and Quit
the Populists Defeated Candidates
Place Their Grievances as the
Door of the Governor!
Denver, Col., November 12. Gover
nor Waite received a dressing down in
his own executive chamber Saturday
night by the conservative men of his
party. Nearly all the candidates on
the populist state ticket were present
and each one in turn sailed into the old
man rough-shod. Each man declared
himself a true believer in the party
principles, but that henceforth he
wanted to hear no more from the man
for whom they were sacrificed. Lafe
Pence, congressman from the first dis
trict, was the principal speaker. He
denounced the governor and his fol- ;
lowing in unmeasured terms, telling '
him to eet himself off into the wilder-
ness as soon as possible after January
1st, and there bury himself from the
sight of men. "We want no more long
haired, wild-eyed anarchists and social
ists in the party," he exclaimed with
warmth," and the quicker you and your
ofiice-grabbing friends take yourselves
away, the better you will be liked."
The conservatives were so forcible that
for the first time since coming to Den
ver, Waite was speechless. Following
this conference it was decided to aban
don all Sunday political meeting's,
which caused so much scandal and in
curred the enmity of the churchmen
and organize on the basis of good gov
ernment. BROTHERS FIGHT TO THE DEATH
They Get in Separate Corners' and Shoot
Till Both Fall Dead.
St. Louis, November 12. Willis and
Claiborne Woodruff, brothers, and col
ored, fought a desperate duel with pis
tols at close range. The encoutergrew
out of a dispute about the debt of one
to the other. Without disussing the
debt, Willis stepped to one corner of
the room and motioned Claiborne to
get his pistol. The latter understood
the sign, and getting his revolver he
walked to a corner of the room across
from where Willis was standing and
leveled it at his brother. "Count three,"
ne, saw snortiy. wniis counted, as
the last word was uttered, and two
shots rang out. The men then ad
vanced on each other and continued to
fire until every cartridge in their re
volvers had been discharged. When
the inmates of the house, attracted by
the shots, ran to the room, they found
both men lying on the floor bleeding
profusely and sorely wounded. Both
men died in a few hours.'
TARIFF'S STIMULUS TO TRADE.
The New Act Iievives Where the McKin
ley Hill Depressed.
WAsniTOTON, November 12. The sta
tistical bureau of the department of
state has published a set of advance
sheets of consular reports embodying
reports from L'nited States consuls up
on the operations of the new tariff aet,
so far as they have been manifested.
There are reports from Bradford, the
great English wool centre; from Shef
field, the cutlery depot; from northern
Mexico, whence hides and live stock
come; from Marseilles, the great ex
porting city of French finery; from
Glascow and from Colombia, the latter
particularly interesting as showing the
failure of our retaliatory, policy. All of
these reports depicit the great depres
sion existing at these foreign ports un
der the McKinley law and the stimula
tion of trade conseqtient upon the pas
sage of the new tarriff act.
POPULIST SCHEME IN KANSAS.
AVUl Turn Over the State to the Officers
Elect Without a Single Employe.
Topeka. Kan.. November 12. Chair
man Briedenthal, of the populist state
central committee, who is also state
bank commissioner, and Superinten
dent of Insurance Snyder, have started
a movement to secure the resignations
of all "appointive officers and employes
of the state institutions who are popu-
lists, to take effect January 1st at noon,
the time that (xovernor-elect Morrill
will be inaugurated. They are repre
senting to all officers and employes
that they will be removed as speedily
after the inauguration as ia found prac
ticable a nd none of them will be kept a
day longer than is absolutely necessa
ry. If the officers should all resign at
the time speeif-cd, it would cause the
new governor any amount of trouble
and throw the siate institutions into
chaos.

New York, November 12. The rank

the office-holders, are not badly dis- j
tiirbed by Tuesday's defeat. The ex- 1

business at the old stand. They know j
that Tammany hall has' had. reverses !

Mr. Crokeris responsible for the loss
of a majority in the congressional del
egation in New York city. His person
al enmity to Bourke Cochran and his
opposition to Edward J. Dunphy and
John De Witt Warner led him to shut
off any combination at all with the
state democracy on congressional can
didates That defeated Sickles in the
tenth, Cummings in the fifteenth and
came near defeating McClellan in the
twelfth and Bartlett in the seventh.
It served to gratify Mr. Croker's per
sonal enmity against Bourke Cockran,
however, and left that gentleman, the
most famous man in Tammany, humil
iated, at home.
NOT ENOUGH POSTAGE STAMPS.
The
ISnreau of Eiifrra vine and Printing:
Trying to Meet the Demand.
Washington, November 12. The
postoffice department is being greatly
inconvenienced by the inability of the
bureau of engraving and printing to
furnish postage stamps enough to meet
the demand. Postmasters' all over the
country are wanting stamps, and the
department cannot supply them. Su
perintendent Johnson, of the bureau,
has been obliged to put on an extra
force of men these last few nights,
working them from 6 o'clock p. m. to
2 o'clock a.m. This means extra, ex-
pe-ise to the government as well as de- j
lay and inconvenience to the public.
WHERE POPULISTS GAINED.
In Wisconsin the Increase Is 45.000 Over
the Vote Cast in '03.
Milwaukee, Wis., November 12.
The populist party in Wisconsin was
the only one of the four, according to
State Chairman Schilling, "that gained
any votes. The gain is estimated at
45,000, about four times the vote cast
in 1892. . The victorious-republicans
have fewer votes by several thousands
than, they had in 1892, and the demo
cratic loss was evenly divided between
the stay-at-homes and the deserters to
the populists. Republicans made a
slight gain from the prohibitionists
and all of its rivals lost votes to the
populist party.

One Little Mistake.
While Johnsoi , who is in charge of j
the Hotel Johnson during the ah-
sence of the "proprietor, E. L. John- j
son, who is'in Atlantic City, received
a dispatch Irom the latter, which .
read: , i
Ship lorty cats at once.'.' -
Mr. Johnson was puzzled. He
could not imagine what his relative ;
could want with cats at Atlantic City, j
so he consulted with a few of his as
sistants, and the only solution he
could arrive at was that rats must
have been discovered in the Atlantic
City hostelry. They unanimously
decided that it was theirs not to
reason why; but to get cats and ship
them to Atlantic City without delay.
A rush was made for all the establish
ments in town which deal in pet ani
mals, but all the cats on hand were of
the Maltese or Angora variety, and it
, was decided that they were to too ex
pensive. As a final result the genus
; boy was called into requisition and
before nightfall there were eighteen
; felien prisoners at the Johnson.
There were no more in sight, though,
so it was decided to ship the first in
stallment that night and 'make a' furth
er consignment t next day. A tele
gram was sent to Mr. Johnson at At
lantic City, which announced:
"Shipped eighteen cats. More to
morrow." Mr. Johnson has a reputation for
wanting things in a hurry when he
does wanfthem, so his assistants at
this end of the line returned well
satisfied that they had acquitted
themselves with great credit in a sud
den emergency. Early the next
morning another dispatch arrived,
which infused every one concerned
with a desire to sneak away some
where and begin life anew. - It read:
"To Shanghai with your cats. It's
cots, cots, cots!"
To complete the story it is only
fair to state that Mr. Johnson writes
a notoriously bad hand, and those in
terested here say the operator must
have taken cots for cats. Washing

Hicks for November.
November comes in with depart-
ing storms along the eastern coast,
but clearing and cold - generally
through central and western parts.
Moon's first quarter on the morning
pf the 5th will increase storm ten-
dencies on the 5th and 6th. A cold
wave will follow. The same advice is
given for the period irom the 10th to
the 14th. There is a fixed ten-
dency to storms and gales on all',
lakes and seas in the Northern
Hemisphere annually about this
time. Look for rain and snow, arid
j for cold wave and freezing as the
! clearing succeeds, the storm area. '
The 17th and iSth will bring change
I to warmer, with probable return of
storminess. resulting later in the re
turn of cold weather. A knowledge
ot the regular periodicity of these
storms and changes is of untold
value. Seek for such. The 22nd
to the 25th is the next regular storm
period. Remember its western ori
gin and eastward progress. Storms
about the 27th or 2Sth, with the new
moon to intensity. Danger to ships
and shipping.
