Alleged Refusal of Chairman Uric and Others to Help Virginia Democrats. Washington. Oct 23. The following was telegraphed to the New York Herald last night: "The gossip about the hotels regarding the Virginia campaign is at fever heat over the announcement that Chairman Barbonrof the Democratic committee has returned from New York very much disheartened. - The story goes that he made application to Chairman Brice for financial aid and was met with the reply that it was out of the question for tho national Democratic committee to extend him any aid whatever. Chairman Brice informed Senator Barbour that the committee was now over $100,000 in debt, and he 6aw no way of ever paying that indebtedness, much less increasing it by making new debts. Senator Barbour afterwards called upon exPresident Cleveland, ex-Secretary Whitney and other prominent Democrats in New York and asked their aid in carrying the State, which he said would be lost to the Democracy unless they had money nt once. Tho New York politicians told Senatour Barbour that they had a campaign of their own on hand next mouth that would require all the means at their command. The drift of popular feeling on the result of the Virginia election is shown by the fact that three bets were made in the Kiggs House last night of $1,000 to $800 that Mahone would carry the State." In reply to the above Barbour f nrn ishes for publication a statement emphatically denying that be bad complained of Chairman Brice, of the Democratic national committee, -with reference to tho Virginia campaign, and he adds concerning other published rumors: "It is also untrue that I have expressed apprehension as to the result of the Virginia election. On tho contrary, I have never known the Democratic party to be better organized and equipped for tne right and I am confident that with an honest delivery of the votes the result will be a decisive victory lor the Democrats." our tka.dk wmi 3iexico.

Minister Ryan Tell IIor It Could Bo Increated Heavy Tariff on 5Xeats. Washington. Oct. $. In an interview; on Mexican import taxes, ITon. Thomas Ryan, minister of the United States to Mexico, said, yesterday: "A decree has been issued, to take ctlect the 1st of the month, removing live stock and fresh meats from the free list and imposing a heavy tariff. The tariff on fresh meats will be 5 cents a pound, which is practically prohibitory. The tariff on live stock is scarcely less. There areno statistics showing tho value of exports from the United States into Mexico, but their volume is large, and. to the best of my judgment, tho balance of the trade has been several millions in our favor. The result of moving live stock and fresh meats from tho free Jist will be injurious to the Mexicau railroads. It is to be regretted that no figures are available to show our Mexican exports. The law provides merely for collating tigtires of maritime commerce, and is antiquated. It should bo amended by Congress at an early day. "Mexico is a wonderful country; wonderful in people, in climate, in resources and po " 'Urfs. The United States pays out $10 NX) in cash annually for products wine. "A co could furnish us. and would take ii. .change tho products of our manufactory-; and enterprises. I believe that even a limited measure of reciprocity would, within fire years, develop a Mexican commerce of $100,000,000 annually. It is to be hoped that both nations will awake to the opportunities and advantaces of closer relations. Mexico wants machinery, agricultural implements, cloths, tools, meats, live stock everything we can furnish here, in fact. The Mexicans are a wealthy people. What they want they have. Tho country raises a revenue of $30,000,000. Of this S30.00O.O0O is by a tariff on imports. Yet she would be willing to sacrifice a part of this, undoubtedly, to secure reciprocal relations with the United States." MINOR MATTERS. Admission of the New States Will Likely Be Announced In One Proclamation. Bpeel&l to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Oct 28. Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, had a conference, to-day. with the President relative to the issuance of the proclamation. or proclamations which are to admit the four Territories to statehood. The President stated that he had not yet made up his mind whether he would issue proclamations admitting each State separately, or whether he would wait until the returns are in from Montana and admit the four States in one proclamation. Senator Pettigrew left the White House with the impression that the latter course wonld be pursued, unless the returns should be delayed until such a late day that tho new Senators and Representatives will not be able to take their seats on the day Congress convenes. How the House Is Carpeted. Washington Special. It takes 2,200 yards of carpet to cover the tloorof the House of Representatives and its galleries. This costs bo much that, for the sake of economy, they do not carpet both the hall and the. galleries tho same year. They are now putting a new carpet on the floor of tho hall, which is the handsomest that has been there for years. It is 1.C00 yards in extent, and had to be made to order, costing $2.05 per yard. Its prevailing color is green, of which there are seven shades, and close together over it are stars (not conspicuous in the pattern), with a is in all red center. The figures are small, and the general appearance is of a slope of mops, in which red berries may be seen on close observation. There is no other carpet in the country like it. and none is permitted to bo made. The carpet on the iioor of tho House is always unique, as tho designs are drawn especially for it. Tho drawings are sent in water-colors for the Chief Clerk to select from. He generally takes the design he likes best of those submitted, and has such of the colors as he does not like changed to meet the approval of his taste. Sometimes, taking one of these submitted designs for a base, he has a new design drawn by his own direction. From this the carpet is woven, as much only being made as, isnece.sary.to cover tho tloor. It costs considerable to have this done, but the carpet never lasts more than two years. At the opening of each Congress a new carpet must be had. Will Solicit Political Contributions. Washington, Oct. 2?. The Old Domin ion HenublicaniLeague does not iutend to take a backward step on account of threat of prosecution which Civil-service Commissioner Thompson has said wonld be brought against all persons who solicited political contributions of government employes. Tonight the league took a decided stand in the matter, and went a little further than the political assessment circular recently sent out. A committee of threo was . appointed to go to the departments next Friday, which is pay day, and receive the money that was solicited in their circular. The committee consists of Mr. Brame. a member of the executive committee of the league, John Hall and J. W. Jones. None of them is an office-holder, and they were purposely selected from private life. The officers of the league say that no office-holder had anything to do with the preparation or distribution of the political assessment circular, and assert that they have been legally advised that it is not against the law for a private citizen to be concerned in soliciting assessments.

TROUBLE IN WEST VIRGINIA. , The McCojMlatfield Vendetta Breaks Oat with Renewed Force A District in Arras. Wheeling, W. Va., Oct 2S.-Lincoln county, or at least that part of it around tho conuty-seat, is now in a ferment of excitement concerning the fearful tragedies enacted within the borders of the county on Thursday night of la$t week. There is . quite a . degree of interest manifested to get accurate details of the double killing at Green Shoals on the above night. Intelligence from that section is meager, but enough is known to satisfy tho most incredulous that Green McCoy and Milt Haley were riddled with uullots on the night in question by an organized force, numbering sixty determined men. The latest report direct, and from a reliable man who was detained several days, is to the effect that McCoy and Haley implicated other prominent parties iu the Brumfield tragedy, alleging that they (McCoy and Haley) were hired to kill "Little Al" BrumrVld. his wife and Paris Brumlreld, and ttat they received $o00, or were to, when tho job was completed. The attempt on "Little Al" and nis wife is well known and that tho programme was not fully carried out was because the Brumlields were too close on tho tracks of the assassins. The report further says that the result ,of these disclosures has brought about open hostilities; that the entire district is either on one side or the other; that the forces are well armed, and that tho aspect is most threatening.- A reward is offered for their capture, dead or alive.
