The boom which
was recently
started in Jerusalem still appeal to
hold its own. Several hand(pr4e
public buildings have been erected
on Mount Zion. The RpthscfiiM
tiospnai lor Jews, on a neigubosin
hill, is a striking building, althogig
its cruciform shape is a sourcf of
Kief to faithful Jews. A girls' bcIooJ
s been built by Italian-, anp a
stately building for Russian pilgfiml
ia now in course of erection. mi
lar buildings for German, FrerchfiniJ
Italian pilgrims are already ereced
On the top of the Mount of Olve
the Russians have built an ifgljj;
tower, with the solo object of neling
the Mediterranean and Dead leas,
from ! its top; but their churel in,
Gethsemane makes op in beauty sforf
the ugliness of the tower. A elm '

pie," which has been in existence Sfor'
many years, is now to take denite;
steps forihe restoration of the an-
cient tempie. ;
In an address before the Yirgliia
etiate nieaicai society at, jxorioist a
few days ago Surgeon General Hm-
llton made the important annouiftje
ment that the government had traced
the source of the yellow fever to If ey
West, where it first appeared in 187
in the family of a restaurant keener
named Baker. The pestilence as
brought,.- however from Havanain
some furniture and bedding which
had been -sent there and stored in pis
restaurant. Tampa quarantined
against Key West, but an Italian In
gaged in smuggling fruits from h&
latter place brought the fever fto
Tampa. I The Florida State Pro
tective Association quarantined
against Tampa, bnt raised tee
quarantine in December. The fetbr
lingered all winter and spread o
Plant City, finally reaching Jackson
ville in February last, although fit
was not until AuguBt 16 that it ws
declared epidemic. This plain state
ment shows that the fever came f rcem
Havana, land if the records afe
searched it will be found this is te
case in: every instance Havana is s
much the; home of yellow fever s
India is of the cholera- It is nevlr
without yellow feyer in a more r
less aggravated form and vet the gov
ernment has failed year after year o
establish a neia quarantine at Key
West against Havana. .

mation reaches here that Jefferson

'counties Republican: Jackson, of the
Ifourth district, ,1s elected Congress
Hman. The result in the nrst distnct
is doubtful. In the third Alderc
Democratic, may pull through by
Ismail majority, as Will Wilson, De
imoorat, of the second district. Tc
Republicans claim the Legialavure
while the Democrats say they gain
there, making, if true, a majority on
ioint ballot of 11. There was rmich
scratching, and it is impossible to
give anything strictly reliable except
that the state omcers will be Demo
cratic. Wheeling, W. Va , November .
The latest returns show increasing
Republican, gains and it looks as if
Republicans had carried the State.
They claim the election of three out
of four Congressmen viz: AtkicBon
in this district, Flick in the 2d, and
Smith, in the. 4th, and a msjority on
joint ballot in the Legislature. The
Democrats do not admit the loss of
the State, but are feeling very, anx
ious 'over the news. Later A dis
patch has just heen received announc
ing the election of McGinnir, Repub
lican in the third Congressional
district. The Republicans now claim
all four districts and the legislature.
NEW YORK.
HABBieON ELICTKD
10 a. m. The New York Times tel
egraphed to the Richmond Dispatch
at 1 o clock this morning that liftrri
ion has carried tbe doubtful States
and is elected. His plurality In New
York is estimated at 15,000, in In
diana 4,000 to 6,000, and in Wiscon
sin 2,000. Harrison's election is gen
erally accepted as a matter of fact.
New York, November 8. A World
extra says: Chairman Brice of the
Democratic National Executive Com
mittee concedes the election of Gen.
Harrison. The chairman of the
campaign committee was the only
member of the National Committee
at headquar ers this morning and he
made the.au tLoritative announcement
of Chairman Brice's concession of
Republican victory.

most important and interesting of the
qutsttohs of the campaign in ot un
decided. There is a possibility that
the Republicans may have control of
the 51st Congress. The Democratic
majority of 18 is dwindling away.
Several estimates by Democrats in
this oily bring the margin down to 2
votes. The Republicans are claiming
that full returns will give them the
House. This is improbable, but a
distinct possibility. There have been
some surprising Republican gains.
Democratic St. Louis has elected 3
Republican Congressmen. The Re
publicans make apparently well based
claims to gains but the Democrats
have gained in Virginia. New York's
delegation is unchanged as to parties.
The fact of the situation is that there
are enough districts yet uncertain to
turn the House majority either way.

1884 Marmaduke, Democrat, had 13,
785 plurality over Ford, Republi
can, a net gain for Francis of 3,532.

about ten counties, and the committee

Inter-Ocean it gave him 797 plurality,

A Leading- Irlab fa per on lite Krauilt.
By Cable to the News and. Observer.
Dublin, Fov. 8. United Ireland
exprepses indifference at the result of
the Presidential election ia Ithe
United States as, it says,- it has
friends in both camps. Harrison, the
paper thinks, owes his election to the
Sackville affair, as the Irish voters
suspected President Cleveland of
being friendly with Lord Salisbury.
While it is flattering to the Irish to
be able to turn tbe scale in such a
contest, the faot is regrettable, as it
is also humiliating and menacing to
the American-Irish vote. It exists
as a separate arid menacing factor ia
American politics because of the fact
that Ireland is withoui home rule and
rankles as a spear head in the rela
tions between the English speaking
races. "It woujd bo cheap for Amer
ica to establish home rule in Ireland
even at the cost of war with Great
Britain. We need not comment on
the value to England of a settlement
of the Irish question."

Tbe Vanderbl't Purchase.
Aiheville Citizen,
Mr. George . H. VanderbUt, the
grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
and successor to much of his im
mense wealth, it is well known, has
been a frequent visiior to Ashevflle.
It ia also well known that be has been
bo much attracted by the beauty of
scenery and charm of climate as to
have become the purcaser of lare
traciB of land, improved and iq a
state of nature, on the south side 'of
the Swannanoa, and extending down
to the French Broad on the west.
The territory purchased contains
thousand or twelve hundred
acres, and embraces a large area
of landscape of greater beauty than
is often found in the mountains! of
Western North Carolina; for there is
happy blending of nature and art;! of
field and farm and verdant valley; for
forest and rock and rugged hill, and
of lofty mountain chrun at every turn
ol tne eye.
What Mr. Vanderbilt proposes to
do with his purchase haa suggested
muh speculation: whether he was to
erect for himself a splendid mansion,
and surround it: with a noble park
adorned with all the genius of the
landscpe artist; qr whether he was to
devote it to benevolent uses, or
appropriate it to educational pur
poses; or whether he was to give
it utilitarian direction, and make
it a vast school of mechani
cal and agricultural training; and
this last is whst the New York
Herald says is what he will dc. An
other rumor is that he will endow
and build an inft t':iion in scope and
extent similar to the magnificent Van
derbilt University.
One thing in certain, the purchase
has been made by Mr. VanderbUt
and the use of tho property we wil
in time known, with the certain ias
8 u ration, that however used, large
benefit will accrue to this section
and community

Norfolk, Va , Nov. 8. Portsmouth
is apparently quiet after last night's
excitement. The authorities feel sc
cure m tneir ability tJ preserve
tne peace.
Wednesday night the negroes cf
Portsmouth had an impromptu cele
bration of the Republ-cnn victory by
arming themselves with clubs and
marching through the city, hooting
and yellmg, and insulting women and
children. In the suburbs they took
possession of the stree', cars and
drove the drivers cff. Marching down
town in front of the Democratic head
quarters on High street the proces
sion halted where a crowd cf whites
were congregated, and gave three
cheers for Harrison and Morton
With this a white man Kim r.fgro got
to ngnting, and a iiTely row ensued,
pistol shots being rapid on both
sides. The negroes scattered quickly
n every direction, when it was ascer
tained that three white men were
wounded Frank Reiger, a ball
through the thigh; Samuel W. Oast,
shot through the shoulder, and M
Mahoney, shot in the body. A tre
mendous excitement folio we'd, and
the streets were filled with people.
Mav or Baird ordered ont the Old
Dominion Guard, Captain James M
Binford, to preserve the peace, and
the troops were soon on duty on the
streets. The Mayor, then telegraphed
to Uovernor J-iee as follows :

The police force was instracted.to
get the names of the leaders of the
procession.
At a late hour the city was quiet,
but an uneasy feeling prevailed.

Washington Poet, th .
The President talked anil fw
yesterday about the returns and the
increased Republio.n vote, but ex-
preesea noi ne slightest regret in
the world at any action he had taken
during his administration. He is
willing to admit that his noaitn
the tariff, and the decided stand h
tookdn favor, cf revenue reduction,
may have lost him' a good many votes -but
he still maintains that if it wr
to do over again, he would follow th.
dictates of his convictions.
The bitterest pill the President ha.
to swallow is the partisan action of a
number of Republicans whom he
kept in office, and who voted and
worked against him with all their
power. Their deportment towards
the administration is a source of
great disappointment to him.
The President received no tele.
grams from New York City later than
early in the afternoon. From what
he has heard, however, he concedes
that he is ' defeated. No man ever
took defeat more : emphatically. He
lays ms aeieat on no one. Hill and
Tammany Hall, he says, treated him
perfectly square, and he has no fault
to nad against them at all.
