NEW YORK, Nov. B.—THO campaign of 16H Is Qt an end. It has been a Htirrlns one In many states and the American pebple are aroused as seldom before in a yoar in which the presidency Is not at stake. Issues of Importance buve been presented, and tho verdict of the people at the polls on Tuesday is expected to practically determine which will bo the dominant party in 189C. Forty-one of the forty-four states in the union elect representatlees to the Fifty-fourth congress, and twenty-one states eleot legislatures which choose United States senators. The make-up of both houses of congress la therefore before the people. Besides this twenty states elect governors, nine elect mluor state officers, and three states, New York, California and South Carolina, vote upon important constitutional amendments. In three states, Maine, Vermont and Oregon elections of congressmen and state officers have been held. Boon of these states has elected full repullcan delegations.

Republicans claim that this is a republican year, and predict a reversal of the present status of the two parties in the house. They have made the tariff the main issue, and count upon gains in nearly all northern and western states, and also In several southern states. The democrats, on the other hand, claim that they will hold their owu except In two or three status, where tho populists have made rapid strides.

The present house has 214 democrats. 126 republicans and 12 populists. There will be $56 members in the next house and either of the leading parties must elect 179 men to obtain control. The republican managers express themselves as oonfldent of eleuting at least

210

representatives while

the democrats say that though they may lose one or two of their present congressmen, they will surely 'gain enough others to make their representation 280 lu the next house.

J11 Georgia the populists oarried several districts at the recent state eleotlon. and olalm that they will carry them again on Tuesday. They also expect to gain several representatives in North Carolina, TexaB and tne silver states. While the republicans may not obtain a majority they may oome so near it that the populists, with the gains they expect to muke. will hold the balanoe of power.

It resulted Saturday in a riot, in which one negro was killed and several wounded, and then a sort of truoe was patched up, by which all the steamship agents agreed, except one, Stoddard & Co., to employ only white laborers on their ships. Then came the longshoremen's strike, and that culminated In white longshoremen refusing to work with the negroes. For the last two days things have been comparatively quiet, but there was little work done on the levee, one steamboat being loaded by negroes under proteotion of fifty police. The polloe in almost powerless, and it is likely the governor will order out troops.

CITY or MEXICO. Nov. 5.—The earthquake which visited this section of the republic Friday evening was the most severe-which has been felt since 185S. Reports of damage to life and property are slow in being collected, but It is known that thirteen people were killed in this city and at least three at outside points. Many roofs of old buildings fell and in some instances crushed to Instant death the occupant# of the houses.

Shocks KUewhere.

From telegraph advices from central and southern Mexico the disturbance is shown to have oovered the state and federal district of Mexico, and lasted from one to four minutes. Seven distinct shocks were felt at Jojutla, in the state of Morelos, and smart shooka were felt at Tulanolngo, in the state of Hidalgo. At OJubuo an Indian and his wife were crushed to death under the roof of their adobe house.

People Turn to Prayer.

Being a holiday and one of the chief festival days of the year, the theaters were thronged, and patiios ensued. Several people were hurt in the rush of exit, and many women went into hysterics. The songs on the stage were succeeded by impassioned prayers for forgiveness and confession of error. The plays were generally abandoned and the audiences remained in the seats, kneeling in prayer. Traffic was oompletely abandoned at the first premonition. Drivers deserted the street cars and coachmen their hacks to kneel in prayer along with the throngs sending up their supplications. In palace and in humble home nothing but prayer was to be heard. The threatened destruotlon was made more solemn by the ringing of bells in the swaying church towers.
