AND NOW THE RETURNS.

ELECTION OF M’KINLEY, BOISE, FLOWER AND RUSSELL. Agarriagn of Tncle Sum’s Mfnfetvr t* Spain—Parwell’s Memory and RelatTSv-s Defended by His Nephew-PUns for a Big Backing House. Alter the Battle. ®Vozn returns wkich appear enough complete to warrant correct judgraent, McKinley is elected in‘Ohio by a plurality conceded by Democrats to reach 10,DOS, and claimed by Republicans to Teach 19,000. The ’LegislaU.rc also appears to bo RepUbliccn. The People’s party cast about 12,000 votes. Hamilton County. In ’Which Cincinnati is located, gave McKinley about 5.000 majority, Cleveland ■gave Campbell 300 majority, while Toledo went for McKinley. The vote was ®<Jt heavy, and the AE3tr.il ian ballot was a success. In New Fork Flower defeated -Bassetts by 24.00 C, even carrying Bassett’s own town, “Elmira, by 504 ’votes. New York City and Brooklyn went Democratic by 72.000. The characteristic of the day was 'the light vote polled. The Legislature appears to be Republican by 3on joint baltot In lowa the vote was very heavy. Although claims are 'made that Wheeler’s defeat is not assured, there seems little cause to douOt that Boies Is Chcsen by 5,000 to S.OOO plurality. The total vote reached nearly 420,000, which shows the intense interest taken, 'ln Massachusetts the Democratic majority Is estimated at 0,900, Bussell being •choson Governor. Pennsylvania appears to have given 40,•000 for the Republican candidates. Maryland is Democratic by a lai’ge majority. In the Fifth District of Michigan, exCongressman Chas. E. Belknap (Rep.) Is chosen over John T. Lawrence (Dem.) by about 1,000, to fill the vacancy caused by ’the death of M. H. Ford (Dem.). It appears that the Republicans have gained one Congressman out of the six vacancies existing. There are two yet existing in Tennessee and Virginia to be filled later. Chicago elected the Republican ticket entire, with the exception of Cooley, Democrat, who was chosen Trustee of the Sanitary District. TIM HEAI.Y WHIPPED. JParnell’s Nephew Takes the Law Into His .Own Hands. Timothy Ilealy, McCarthyite member’of the House of Commonsifor the northern dl■vlson of,the County of Longford, has been publicly horsewhipped in the streets of Dublin by Mr. McDermott, nephew of the late 'Charles Stewart Parnell. Such, says a dispatch from Dublin, is the terse record •of an Interesting and not unexpected event which has just beenplaced upon tho bulletin boards of the various newspapers of this, •city, every one of which is surrounded by demonstrative crowds of hot-blooded Irishmen. Tho Parnellites In tho throngs which gaze upon the big black letters of the notice are jubilant, and do not hesitate to taunt the McCartliyltes, who also crowd about the boards. The consequence Is that a number of fights have Already occurred, while the temper of the partisans Is such as to suggest thenecessity lor strong and vlgllunt police patrols. It has been in the air that Mr. Healey would, My some one and somehow, be called to a prompt reckoning for the exceedingly vigorous speech delivered by him at Longford. Ordinarily, Mr. Healy is a remarkably forcible orator, but on the Occasion In question he excelled himself In his reference to Mrs. Parnell. MARRIED IN LONDON. Oen. E. Hurd Grubb Weds Miss Viola Sopwith, of Edinburgh. " A London dispatch says: 'General 6. Surd Grubb, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from the United States to Spain, was married in St. Stephen’s, South Kensington, to Miss Violet Sopwith, a beautiful -Scotch girl, whom he woood and won in Madrid. The wedding ceremony was a beautiful affair, gorgeous and almost spectacular. It was decidedly a military ceremony, such as are now all the wage In London, andit was as smart and as elegant as any that has been witnessed here In-many a day. About all the Americans at Importance now resident in London were present at the church ceremony and afterward at the reception given at the home at Mr. and Mrs. Sopwith.

The Demand* of Minister Egan F eremptorlly Rejected. The latest dispatch from Saxvtiago says that the Chilian Government hp.s replied to Minister Egan's demand for »d explanation ’Of the receat attack upon American sailors. The reply Ss couched in wry strong lan£uage.aad it is understood that It amounts to a refusal to accept responsibility for the affair. The State Dewurtnient at Washington has been notified. It is thought that decisive action will taken soon. The State Department's'orders hi reference to the riatter are very -strong. The Inteadentv of Valparaiso has refused to guarantee the safety of wsarket boats corning to th-gt city early la tho morning from the Utitod States warship Baltimore, or the sfifety of officers of that vessel coming -ashore at night.

Trains Pass Through Terrific Prairie Fire in Western Kansas. Terrific prairie fires are reported In Gray ! and Ford Counties, Kansas. For miles the Santa Fe train traveled at its utmost speed through a sea of flame, with every window and ventilator flattened down. From the train could be seen burning farm buildings and stacks of hay and gratn. and people and stock fleeing before the flames. A spark from a passing engine on the Santa Fe set fire to the prairie just west of the farm of Charles Twining, near Arizona, in Sumner County. The fire spread rapidly, and, driven by a high wind, swept over Twinlng’s farm and dertroyed everything. Mrs. Twining was taken by snrprise and could find no refuge tram the flames. Her charred remains were found in the ruins of the house.

MUST TRY, TRY AGAIN. Impnrinnt Decision in a Suit Against a Telegraph Company. At Indianapolis, Ind., Julius L. Rappapot. of Peoria, 111., secured a judgment for SSO In the Circuit Court against the Western Union Telegraph Company for failure to deliver a message. It was shown that the messenger boy bad visited Rappapot’s place, and finding him -not in bad left a notice. The court held that proper effort and diligence was necessary in order to release the telegraph company from liability, and that the messenger boy should have been dispatched the second time; that nothing short of this could be considered as proper diligence. The case was appealed to the Appellate Court. The case Is considered an important one in the precedent it establishes. LOSSES BY FIRE. Flames Kugtng Hi tho Mountains xiT Alabama. The mountains to the south of here, says a Sheffield, Ala., dispatch, are being swept by forest fires. The exceeding dryness of everything and a stiff breeze make It impossible to check the flumes, which are spreading in every direction. The citizens are fighting, but without'effect. Fences aro being destroyed, and some few houses have been burned. The edge of the mountains have been reached and In some places the sage fields in the valley are burning. Only one eotlon field so far Is reported destroyed. News from Russellville says the fire is sweeping over tho mountains to the southwest. The only hope for a speedy checking of the flames is a rain, and there is no sign of such. LOSSES BY FIRE. Kunze’s Malt House at St. Louis.aml .10,000 Bushels sf Malt Burned. The malt house of Henry Kunze. of St. Louis, was destroyed by fire, together with 30,000 bushels of malt. The fire originated in the drying-room and was caused by a defective flue.

RUSSIAN EXPORTS PROHIBITED. All Cereals Except Wheat Must Be Held In the Country. The Russian Imperial ukase prohibiting henceforth the exportation of all cereals except wheat also interdicts the sending out of the country of potatoes, flour, malt, meal, dough and baked breads. Says a dispatch from London: “In view of the cessation of Russian grain exports the statistics of the Glasgow general grain stock for 1891, as compared with that of 1890, are of serious importance. They show for 1891 a decrease of 74,000 quarters of wheat, 88,000 quarters of maize, 10,000 quarters of barley, and 46,000 sacks of flour. In oats alone is a slight increase shown.” MORE CONVICTS RELEASED. Tennessee Miners Burn the Stockade at Oliver Springs.

They made no noise, and people did not know of the affair till daylight. The convicts scattered, and are still at large. Rumor says that the miners will next march on Tracy City. WANT ENGLAND TO INTERFERE. British Merchants Taking Up the Side of Chili In the Quarrel. English merchants in the Chilian trade are moving every influence at command to bring about British interference tn behalf of Chili in the present misunderstanding between Chill and the United States. There is no likelihood, however, that Lord Salisbury will consent to have anything to do with the affair as long as British rights are respected. MGR. PRESTON GROWING WORSE. Little Hope that the Prelate Will Recover from His Illness. At New York, Mgr. Preston is slowly but surely sinking. At times he has short periods of comparative Improvement, when all feel encouraged; but when the relapses come he is left weaker than before. His ultimate recovery is out of the question. Father Clancy and Archbishop Corrigan are with him constantly, and they can hold out no hope.

Great Spread «f Smafl-Pox. Tho N. Y. State Board or Health lias taken extraordinary measu-res to prevent the possible spread of small-pox across the Canadian border. There are in Montreal and the Province of fjnebec over 100 cases of the dreadful disease, and the health officers in every bordering town and hamlet have been instructed to exercise the utmost vigilance. The great 'outbreak is attributed to the fact that a girl sick with smallpox escaped from a Montreal hospital. Freed the Convicts. It is reported that the trouble between „free miners and lessees of convicts in the Briceville (Tenn. district culminated in the release of the convicts confined in the stockade. The guards were overpowered and 3,000 free miners furnished clothing and arms to the liberated prisoner, s. One hundred and forty-one convicts were released.

LOOKS MUCH LIKE WAR.

CHILI’S BLUNT REFUSAL. TO MAKE AMENDS. Strong Language Used—lt MzJ Kemlt In War—Decisive Action by (Ittle Sam’s Officials Is Expected—OfF.cers and Sailors of the Baltimore Reported ‘in Great Danger. Dark Clouds Rising. Th.i Chilian Government has replied to United Mates Minister Kgan’a demand for reparation for the recent attack upon tiie United States steamship Haiti more's crew. It is a refusal to accept responsibility for the affair. Minister Egan has notified the State Department at Washington, and decisive action is looked for very quickly. Tho authorities of Valparaiso have gene so far as to refuse to guarantee the safety of market boats coming to that city from the United States war-ship .Baltimore, or the safety of officers of that vessel coming ashore at night Minister Egan has notified our Government that the crew of the Baltimore are practically boycotted, aud no American sailors are permitted to land at that port. Much surprise is expressed at the ”ery strong langugo in which tho Chilian Government’s reply is coached. The attack on the blue jackets of the cruiser Baltimore occurred in tho streets of Valparaiso on Oct. 16, aud was, in the opinion of the oil cers of tho Baltimore, due mainly to the fleling of hostility entertained by the mass of Chilians toward Americans. Tho police of the city, as tho investigation of the affair by Captain W. S. Schley and the officers of the Baltimore showed, assisted tho mob in its assault upon the sailors. The Chilians were armed with knives and pistols, and tho blue jackets had no weapons. One of tho blue-jackets, Charles Riggin, a boatswain’s mate, was dragged from a street car by a mob and shot to death. Five more men were dangerously wounded with knives and bayonets. One has since died of his wounds. That the police joined in the attack on the sa'lors was evident by the bayonet wounds many of the sailors received. Thirty-five sailors were arrested by the use of much unnecessary force, dragged through the streets and locked up The report of Captain Schley indicates that the assault on the biue-jackets was premeditated, By order of President Harrison a dispatch was sent to Mr. Egon, tho American Minister at Santiago, ordering him to bring the matter to the attention of

U. S. CRUISER DETROIT.

the Chilian Government and inquire whether there were any qualifying facts in the possession of that Government, and whether it had any explanations to offor for its failure to inquire into the matter and punish the guilty persons. Tho reply, as stated above, is a most defiant one. and may call for speedy action by tho United States. In view of the trouble that seems to be imminent hecrotarv Tracy has reported to tho President that the following war vessels can be made ready and equippod in ninety days: The Philadelphia, of 4,413 tons, is 315 feet long, 10,500-horso power, and can steam nineteen knots an hour. She carries four 8-inch and six 6-inch breechloading rifles. She also has torpedo tubes Tho Kearsarge is a wooden vessel of 1,550 tons, 821 horse power and can steam along nine knots an hour. She carries two 8-inch 8-ton and four 9-inch 4- smooth bore* and one 60-pounder breech-loader. The cruiser Concord is of 1,700 tons burden, 230 feet long, 3,400 horse power, and can mako sixteen knots an hour. Her armament consists of six 6-inch breech-loading rifles and several rapidlire guns. The Chicago is 4,500 tons burden, 415 feet long, and has 5,000 horse power and can cover fifteen knots an hour. She carries four 8-in< h, eight 6-inch and two 5- breech-loading rifles; also several rapid-fire guns. The Newark is of 4,083 tons displacement, 310 feet long, 8,500 horso power, and makes eighteen knots an hour. Twelve C-inch guns of five tons each, and four s x-pounders (rapid fire) constitute her equipment The T’etrel is of 890 tons burden and only 175 feet tong. She has 1,300-horse power, and can steam thirteen knots an hour. Her guns aro fonr 6-inch breech-loading rifles aud several rapidfire guns. The Baltimore, already at Valparaiso, is of 4,413 tons burden, 315 feet long, has an indicated horse power of 10,750 and can make nineteen knots in an ordinary sea. She carries four 8-inch 11%-ton breech-loading rifles, six flinches and a number of smaller euns. The Yorktown is 1,700 tons, 230 feet long, 3.400 indicated horse powet- and can mako sixteen knots. She carries six 6-inch breech-loaders and several smaller guns. The San Francisco is a sister ship to tho Philadelphia, and is similarly equipped. The Miantonomah is 3,815 tons disp'acement,, 249 feet long, and has 7 inches of armor. Her turret is n% inches thick, and behind this is all an 8-inch backing. Her horse power is 1,600, and she can steam 10.50 knots an hour. Her armament consists of and several rapid-fire guns. 'I he new steel cruiser Detroit has just been launched, and could also be made ready for the fray.

Talleyrand’s Sayings.

Too much sensibility creates unhappiness; too much insensibility creates crime. The love of can only create t, hero: tho contempt of it only makes a I great man. Truth and virtue can do less good in the world than tboir false, well-acted semblance can do evil. A rich man despises those who flatter him too mu h, and hates those who do not Latter him at all. A generous man will place tho benefits lie confers beneath his feet, those he receives nearest his heart General maxims applied to everyday life are like routine applied to the arts, good only sos mediocre intellects. To contradict and argue with a total stranger is like knocking at a gate to ascertain if there is anyone within. If you wish to appear agreeable in Society you must consent to be taught many things which you know already. There arc many vices which do not deprive ns of fr.ends; there are many virtues which prevent our having any. There aro two things to which we never grow accustomed —the ravages of 'ime and the injustice of our fellow men. In love we grow acquainted, because we are already attached—in friendship we must know each other before wa love.

How He Traveled.

There fc> a man in Nasfiville, says the American, who teas traveled the length and breadth of the United States, from Maine to Mexico, from New York to San Francisco, and did not pay a dime for his passage, and he rode half the way'in a first-class passenger coach, the other half in box-cars and as “blind baggage. ” “I made SSO once,” said he, “and it was the easiest money that ever came into my hands. Major Clarfee was the passenger agent of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Itoad, and I went to him in Fort Worth, told him I was an unfortunate, and I wanted to get out of town. He gave me a pass to some point about thirty miles up the road, and I left that night. When I went into the coach, who should I meet but Major Clarfee. He motioned me to have a seat by him, and commenced asking about me, and how i managed to get about. ‘Why, Major,’ I said, ‘I have traveled over your road a thousand times and never paid a cent or had a pass nor beat my way.’ At this the old man pricked up his ears, for he thought he would catch some one of his conductors at some underhand trick. ‘How do you do it?’ the Major asked me, ‘That’s a secret,’ said I. ‘l’ll give you S2O to put me on to it.’ ‘Make it sso,’ said I. ‘Done,’ and he passed over the money. ‘Well, Major, I walk.’ ”

A Substitute for Corsets.

A certain woman who strongly advocates a reform ir> dress declares that “corsets have filled more graves than whisky,” and a cynical wag replies that “whisky is never put on the bargain counter.” The scientific world has ever denounced the corset, but woman’s world has ever declared the impossibility of relinquishing it. Into the breach caused by this wide diversity of opinion steps the “health bodice,” which will insure a vast amount of comfort to any wearer, whether the young mother, the growing girl, or the woman who indulges in the luxury of the tea-gown. It is an idealized slip bodice made of fine white twill trimmed with embroidery, becomingly full and soft over the bust and boned below with pliable bones, which may be easily removed when laundried. A loose house gown of any form is worn more comfortably over a bodice of this sort than with a stiffly-boned corset, allowing, as it does, a more graceful play to the curves of the figure and greater freedom of motion. One is apt to take cold by removing the corset when indoors, and the health bodice will supply a substitute at once comfortable and protective.—Frank Leslie’s Weekly.

Courteous.

Most of us are apt to omit toward those of our own family many of the outward tokens of respect that we habitually show to our less familiar friends and acquaintances. To this rule, as to all others, there are, of course exceptions. Those who pass a certain house in a town not far from Boston on their way to business in the morning, often see what is to them a most beautiful and touching sight. Down the front steps comes a gentleman about sixtyfive years of age, but evidently hale and vigorous; in the big bay window can be seen his wife, a feeble, sickly lady supported on her crutches, watching her husband on his way. The old gentleman walks briskly on until he reaches the street corner, some paces away; then he turns, glances back with a smile for the loving face in the window, throws it a kiss, and raising his hat in the most ceremonious manner, bows low and passes around the corner out of sight. Such things as this show that courtesy toward one’s own household is not a thing of the past, that familiarity does not always breed contempt. Weil would it be for us all to heed the lesson!

She Had Heard So.

The application of general principles to particular cases is so nice a matter that the wisest of people never attain to perfection in it. Lucy, 3 years old, was playing with a neighbor of her own age. All went smoothly until some childish dispute arose, when Lucy, regarding her little friend as the agggressor, slapped her soundly. Lucy’s grandmother reproved her for her rudeness and display of temper, but the child clinched the argument by saying: “Why, dan’mudder, dan’mudder, don’t you know it does little dirls dood to whip ’em?”—New York Tribune.

Doubtful Mercies.

The editor of a college paper says that a famous college president, a clergyman, was addressing the students in the chapel at the beginning of the college year. “It is,” he said in conclusion, “a matter of congratulation to all the friends of the college that this year opens with the largest freshman class in its history.” And then, without any pause, he turned to the lesson for the day, the third Psalm, and began to read in a voice of thunder: “Lord, how are they increased that trouble me!”

Too Chicken-Hearted.

The effort to employ good-looking young women as account collectors ipChicago has not turned out very profitable for the merchants who employed them. After a fortnight’s experience, three of the women became engaged to men whom they tried to dun, two of them married, and a few of the others sympathized so deeply with the debtors that they warned them when proceedings were instituted so that the debtors might escape.

Magnetic Concentrator.

A new ore concentrator has been devised, which operates by crushing the material to about a quarter of an inch in size, and which, exposed to the action of powerful magnets, separates the particles of iron ore. These articles of ore are again crushed to a finer state, and again exposed to magnetic action, resulting in a concentrated condition of the iron. The older a man grows the wiser he usually becomes, unless he happens to marry a young wife.- Hew York Benorder.

COMBATANTS IN CORK.

DESPERATE FIGHTS BETWEEN IRISH FACTIONS. Many Badly Wounded—Mounted Police with Considerable Difficulty Disperse the Savage Combatants—Work for the Surgeons. Irish Blood Fows. When Messrs. William O'Brien and John Dillon arrived in Cork, the two distinguished members of Parliament were met by a deputation composed of memDers of the National Fedeiation, representatives of the Gaelic Club, the municipal officers, and a large number of priests. An enormous crowd of people lined the route, followed by the procession which followed Messrs. O’Brien and Dillon from -tho railroad station. The procession was headed by a brass band and was escorted by a strong detachment of police. Thu fact that the police and military were thoroughly prepared for a riot alone prevented the city from becoming a scene of slaughter. After the convention a large body of police closed about Dilion and O’Brien to escort them to their hotel. Dillon Dassed a few words of commonplace with the inspector in command, and that functionary listened very stiffly and condescendingly. The incident was witnessed by the Parnellites, who howled in derision. For some distance the procession passed along without more serious demonstration, the crowds on the street, however, growing every moment more excited. The McCarthyites, including a number of priests and the redoubtable Canon O’Mahoney, followed Dillon and O’Brien. Every now and then a Parneilite in the crowd would howl and swing a shiliaiah around his head and make a dash for the McCarthyites. Tho police would then charge and restore order for a moment. At length the Parnellites grew uncontrollable, and yells of “Murderers,” “England’s lickspittles,” and other epithets saluted the McCarthyites. The latter knew that they would soon be attacked, and came to a halt, turning on their assailants. Missiles of all kinds flew through the air, and the cries of defiance became louder and louder. The blood 1 owing from injured heads and limbs, the groans of the fallen wounded, the fierce energy of the combatants, and the ebb and flow of the tide of battle, as the advantage veered to either side, gave a realistic picture resembling somewhat the Communist uprising in i aris. Thq mounted constabulary was hurriedly formed in order for a charge. It was a dangerous duty, for deadly missiles were flying on every hand, and the order was given to cut right between tho two parties, whore the police would receive the volleys from both. Not a constable flinched. They formed as perfectly as on pai ade and started on the gallop at the word of command. The order was given to strike only with tho flats of their sabers, and there is no reason to believe that, under great provocation, it was disobeyed. As the constables spurred forward the volleys of missiles grew thicker, for each side was sure that if they missed each other they would at least hit a policeman. The police were persistent, however, and at length succeeded In breaking up the riot; this result, however, being largely due to the fact that the rioters themselves were appalled at the number of the wounded. Many of the latter were taken to their homes and others to the hospita's. Whether any cases have proved fatal is not yet known.

THE SITUATION IN CHILI.

Revolutionary Parties Unite Upon a Programme—Merchants Suffer Heavily. Chilian advices say tho different political parties that initiated tho revolu-

tion are making a draft of the program that is te be observed by the new administration and that they will ail sign, pledging themselves to respect it, no matter who .gains the Presidential election. This program does not tend to provide a new syt-

tem of administration; it merely establishes the general principles that, based on liberty, are to be observed by the new political organization, and these principles are: The right of suffrage. Punishment of any Government official who should interfere in the elections. Absolute independence of the three chief authorities of the nation. Responsibility of the Presidents and their ministers. Reduction of the ordinary expenses. Amelioration of the foreign debt and conversion of the national paper currency into metallic currency, reduction of tho army and augmentation of the fleet. Suppression of unnecessary employments. Steady development of railroads. Amicable relations with all other nations. Limitation of the diplomatic service. Establishment of commercial treaties with different nations. Reports received at Iqui jue from tho south state that a large number of executions have occurrod'at Santiago and Valparaiso in the last few weeks. The victims had been particularly active in their opposition to the revolutionists, but nono of them were persons of any special prominence. Vicuna, who was elected President of the southern districts two months ago and who was regarded as the representative of Balmaceda, is now in Callao. American flour, which sold a few months ago for S3O per sack, can not be sold now for $5. American hay, which was imported at S7O a ton, is now replaced by Chilian hay, which se.ls at from $6 to $8 a ton.

Indicted Beauregard. General Beauregard says he lias nothing to do with the La S. L.; nothing, that is, except “superintend drawings.” The General draws it pretty fine.— Wheeling Begister. General Beauregaid’s indictment and arrest for aiding and abetting the violation of the laws against otter es is logical and praiseworthy.—New York Commercial Advertiser. General Beauregard still keeps up his lottery connection, and now a warrant is out cha ging him and other otncials with violating the postal laws.—Brooklyn Times. General Beauregard can see “no impropriety, much less a (rime,"in the Louisiana lottery, because it is “a recognized institution of tho State, upheld by its Jaws and conducted by the first citizens of New Orleans. ” The General appears to regard State laws assuperKr, not only to national ones, but to tho moral law as well —Philadelphia Inquirer. With a swell'ng air he proc'aims that his duties were only to see that the drawings were fair, and he threatens to make it warm for those wlio testified against him.

The generosity of the Czar of Russia in donating J,500,000 rubles for the relief of the starving Russian peasantry naturally provokes the question where the money came from.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

With 20,000,000 of people starving, Russia should stop talking of war and try to buy food for the sunerers.

Women win men to pretty much everything else Why shouldn’t they win them to faith and goodne s.—New York World.

Rut if the ladies get into the pulpit what will be about the average length of the Sunday sermon? —Louisville Commercial. !Now that all the preachers are men, the proportion of women In their congregations Is overwhelming. If th% women take the pulpit will the men take the pew? It would be a goodly sight to see all our young men attending church on a Sunday.—Louisville Post.
