American assistant, registered as ueorge Howie, and a Chinese interpreter, furnished him by the legation. AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR. How the Japanese were warned of this transaction has not yet been discovered, but they determined at all hazards to prevent further progress of the party. That they endeavored to do this with careful regard to the requirements of international law la doubted by nobody, but whether they have succeeded In this particular Is a question warmly discussed by foreign rsifdents. The arrested men are under close guardianship in Kobe. The affair concerns more or less directly three Western nations, the United States, France and England, and It is already under diligent consideration by the diplomatic agents of the respective governments. It Is understood that the French minister in Toklo protested earnestly against the action of the Japanese in this case, and that he has telegraphed home for Instructions. Japan will contend in defense that the persona deof great magnitude and lmportouje against both the Japanese navy anl mercantile marine, and as the French representatives stationed here were not authorized to interrupt them in their Journey to the Beat of war it became necessary as a measure of self protection to have recourse to belligerent rights. Japan will claim that a welzure of this description Is Justified by the recognized principles of International law. This right is believed to be strengthened on the present occasion by the tact that the arrests were made first on a ve-sel sailing from a port of one belligerent to a port of the other, and second, by the first named belligerent within his own territorial waters The parties arrested bore a letter to Li Hung Chang from the envoy at Washington and also a formal contract promising to pay Jl.000.000 for the destruction of the Japanese navy and a specified sum for every merchant ship destroyed. It ap-c-ars that INw.OUO have already been paid Zn account. Some doubts are entertained as to the nationality of lirown and Howie. They declare themselves English by birth but Americans by naturalization. One or both served until recently in the Brazilian navy. . . Much attention la given by the Japanese press to the subject of a for 'gn loan. The Kovemment is at present strongly opposed to the Idea of harrowing from abroad. This policy Is supported by leading newspapers and the most Important financial institutions in the empire. The manufacturing class also believes In relying upon domesttc resources. Chambers of commerce, on. the other hand, throughout the country, are in favor of accepting external aid. They argue that any further withdrawal of large Rums from circulation will result In serious derangement of business. But at least these questions are now discussed and even luia was luiyussiuic a. ujvmu THE JAPS IN MANCHURIA. The Japanese army in Mancliur'a continues its inarch of Invasion with scarcely a chow of opposition. Chiu Lien having been taken on Oct. 26, the advance was resumed on the following day toward Hwong Hwong. about thlrty-flve miles distant on the road to Mukden. The city was attacked Oct SI, and was taken without the necessity of heavy fighting. The garrison fled in disorder, the majority shaping their course to Mukden. It is stated that before running away the Chinese generals ordered that Hwong Hwong be burned, but their arrangementj were not sufficiently effectual to secure destruction of the 20,000 houses which the pjace contained. General Yamagata'a reports say nothing on thi3 subject, but with regard to the capture of arms and ammunition he is explicit. Since the opening of the Manchuria campaign he has taken fifty-five field cannon, with 20,000 rounds, and 1.500 rifles, with 2.000,t00 rounds. The total number of field pieces lost by the Chinese between the end of July and the end of October la 155. General Yamagata has lost no time In announcing to the inhabltr -ts of the newly occupied territory that tney have nothing to fear from the Japanese if they pursue their occupations peacefully and abstain from interference with the movements of the soldiers. Consequently most of the inhabitants returned to, their homes. General Yamarata has remitted all taxes for the remainder of the year, and has established - a temporary form or civil government, un der control of a secretary from the legation at Seoul, which is to consider all complaints. The effect of all this upon the populace has been to call forth assurances of general and apparently unfeigned gratitude. The peasants are especially outspoken in contrasting the treatment they receive from the newcomers with that which they were 'compelletf to endure from the.r predecessors. Many of them have pointed out places where large Quantities of war material were hidden. The food supply left by the Chinese Is said to have been enormous. No information is officially announced as to the direction In which Gen. Yamagata will next march. Flying col-i umns have been sent in pursuit o: scattered posts on the two roads leading to the pld Manchurlan capital, but if the main body has set out Its course Is kept secret. - The censorship over the Japanese papers has been much relaxed, and extras are issued every day declaring that General Oyaita's army has landed safely, and fixing upon various different places ns spots of debarkation. The capture of Port Arthur and other strongholds at the northern entrance of the Gulf of Pechili is constant- . ly proclaimed, but the government will say nothing to confirm or deny there statements. Telegrams from Shanghai will carry to America and Kurope the first news of the events in which Oyama and hl3 followers are concerned. CHINESE PROCLAMATION. The war is teaching the Chinese Emperor a lesson -which he has hitherto stubbornly refused to learn. For the first time he condescends to notice personally outrages committed by his subjects upon alien residents In his domains. An edict was Issued Oct. Si and posted In the streets of Peking announcing that his Majesty exercises the name authoritative benevolence over the foreign countries of the West as which he applies to his own. Only Wojen (Japanese vermin) are excluded from his protection, and this Is because they have disturbed public peace and encouraged the disorderly .classes In China to molest strangers, and particularly missionaries. To counteract their evil influence the Emperor noar warns his people that If any of them be remiss in their behavior toward Europeans or Americans, 'Their conauct will be Investigated and everyone of them without fail reported . to his superior and severely dealt with. Let everyone tremblingly obey and not oppose." Another proclamation from the throne makes It evident that the Emperor still regards the naval battle off Tai-Kosa-Nai an a success. The fiction that, three Japaness ships were sunk is sturdily repeated, and in the distribution of rewards to various officers concerned great stress Is laid upon their services in breaking up the Japanese plan of landing their army and the ensuing safe debarkation of Chinese . troops near the Yalu river. The insufficient supply of grain in northern Chinese provinces excites increasing ilarm. The usual winter supply from the south is cut off by the Japanese ships, and the grand canal through the center of the empire Is impassable. Famine now threat ens to add new terrors to the desperate situation in which the country is placed. Ileports to the effect that the imperial family is preparing to fly from Peking are received almost dally. At this moment it does not appear that anything would be pained by the Kmperor"s withdrawal from his present residence and the rumors lack confirmation. The Corean rrlnce has started for home after enjoying a round of entertainments offered him by the various government of

ficials. While In Tokio he naively attempted a few diplomatic coquetries with some of the foreign ministers, apparently unconscious that the game mlgj. prove dangerous if carried far. His inexperience led ' him occasionally to overstep the boundaries of etiquette, but these indiscretions were leniently overlooked and his harmless byplay of Jnternational Intrigue was permitted to proceed without interruption. Tha German government has offered through its minister at Toklo the use of Its hospital at Yokohama during the war. Facilities for communicating with their families and friends have been offered to all Chinese prisoners of war confined in Japan. The official report of the great ?arthquake of Oct. Z2 In northern Japan hows that 2,lii houses were overthrown. tw houats were burned, isz persons were killed and Ct were injured. The damage to property is estimated at over 10,C0O,u0O yen. Count Trouye arrived In Seoul on Oct. 2X and at once assumed control of the Japanese legation. His presence is much ieleJ. The government is rapldlv falling into disorder and a strong hand alone can compel It to fulfill it3 pledges given three rrurih3 ago. Assassinations hav again ben resorted to In the capital. The Vice Minuter of Justice, a. warm panlsan of .Jup:ti. was murdered Oct. 51, and great t:nealnes3 Is felt by his political associates In oflce. , C":aia Goodrich of the Unitel States l

ship Concord, has been received In audience by the King of Corea.

I1EFORE THE WAIL Letters That Paused Petireea (he Jap anese and Chinese. WASHINGTON, Nov. W. The Japanese government has anticipated the recent of fers of China to the foreign powers to furnish the complete official correspondence leading up to the present war, and ha3 Itself made public this correspondence. It Is published In full as a part of the recent proceedings of the Japanese diet which have been received by the Japanese lega tion here. The gist of the controversy has already been made known to the public, but the official letters between China and Japan give the first account of the sharp diplo matic fencing between the countries up to a few days before the war. The letters run from June 7 to July 14, and are numbered from 1 to 9. No. l is from Wang, Chinese Minister to Japan. It informs Japan that a telegram .has Just been received from Li Hung stat ing that the Corean government has re quested China to send troops to suppress a rebellion of Tong-IIaks. Viceroy LI, it says, considers the rebellion serious and. therefore, complies with the request for troops to protect "our tributary state," first notifying Japan In accordance with a treaty provision that each shall inform the other before entering Corea. No. 2 is from Mutsu, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan. It very pointedly states: "In reply, I beg to declare that although the words 'tributary state appear In your note, the Japanese government has never recognized Corea as a tributary state of China." No. 3 Is a notice from the Japanese gov ernment that it intends sending troops to Corea tp suppress the rebellion. In No. 4 China "shows her teeth" for the first time. It la a letter from the Tsung-LI-Yamen, the Chinese Cabinet, to the Japanese Minister at Peking. The letter expresses surprise that Japan should send troops to Corea when it has not been so requested by Corea. It adds the following significant language: "The sole object of your country in send ing troops is evidently to protect the le gation, consulates and commercial people In Corea, and consequently It may not be necessary on the part of your country to dispatch a great number of troops, and besides, as no application therefor has been made by Corea, it is requested that no troops shall proceed to the Interior of Corea, so that theV may not cause alarm to her people. And moreover, since it is feared that in the event the soldiers of the two nations should meet on the way .cases of unexpected accidents might occur owing to the difference of language and military etiquette, we beg to request In addition that you will be good enough to telegraph the purport of this communication to the gov ernment of Japan." No. 5 is the Japanese answer to the Tsung-LI-Yamen, in which Japan also shows her teeth. It says: "As to the num ber of troons to be sent to Corea, the Japanese srovernment is compelled to exer cise its own judgment. - Aitnougn no restriction is placed upon the movement of the Japanase troops in Corea,' they will not be sent where their presence is not deemed necessary. The Japanese troops are under strict discipline, and the Jap anese government Is confident that it will not precipitate a collision with the Chinese rorces. it is hoped that cmna nas aaopiea similar precautions. No. 6 is an offer of the Japanese govern ment to Join China In a Joint readjustment of Corea on modern lines. No. 7 Is China's rejection of the offer. In which she says: 'The Idea may be excel lent, but the measures or improvement must be left to Corea herself." No. 8 is from Japan to China, stating that Japan can no longer disregard the law of self-preservation which impels her to reform the deplorable condition of Corea it the root of her frequent rebellions. No. 9 is also from Japan to China, stat ing that as China has declined to Join In the administrative reform of Corea, the only conclusion deduetable Is that the Chinese government "is disposed to precipitate complications." . . . This closes the correspondence, the last letter being dated eleven day3 before Japan snk the Chinese transport Kow Shlng car rying the Chinese troops to Corea. Japan's declaration cr war followed cays later. GERHAN ISLUST&U. A Newspaper Says' There Is Trouble In Store for England. LONDON, Nov. 21. A Berlin dispatch to the Times says that the semi-official Co logne Gazette publishes an article In which it says that the Anglo-German relations have not improved recently. Finding the antagonism betweea herself and France In creasing in all quarters of the globe Great Britain Is seeking another power to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for her without damage or extravagant compensation. Lord Rosebery has recognized this power in Russia, and the paper congratulates him upon his choice. Continuing, the Gazette says England is throwing hindrances in the way of German colonial undertakings. If this policy is persisted in England and Germany will come in collision. England has employed the most contemptible means to hinder Germany's progress in tne tarneroons. Toeo. Samoa and Delagoa bay. Germany's patience is exhausted. England must be aware that Germany has a power and the will to prevent a continuance of this antagonism. Another dlsoatch from Berlin to the Times says that though It would be too much to assume that the utterances of the Cologne Gazette are semi-official, it must be confessed that they certainly renect the views of a large section of the political world in Germany.

CHIEF! OV POLICE 3IAL.O- SWOOPED DOW.V OX THE GA3IBLEIIS. Tonne Girl Sleets Death In the Crowd Goinir to the Races Methodist Women to Take a Hand. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HAMMOND, Ind., Nov. CO. A movement of reform was Instituted at Roby this afternoon when Mayor Mott Instructed Chief of , Police Malo to. close the gambling dens located just outside the gates of the race ; track, which, for the past week, have been j running wide or.n. The chief lost no time in obeying Instructions, and within an hour after he had received his orders every place ; as closed and the furniture and paraphanalla was packed up ready to be moved out of the State. Thl3 movement can be traced directly to the civic federation of this city, which, for the past few weeks. has been active in a crusade against evil doers. This society begun its work soon after this city was invaded by a num ber of gamblers who had been driven out of Chicago, and that It has done its work well is evidenced by the fact that at pres ent very little gambling can be found go ing on here. There Is some strong talk of Its taking hold of the Roby race track, and should it do so its influence will be felt. Five thousand people attended the races this afternoon and witnessed the best racing of -the meeting. The weather was fine. the track at its best and the five races pulled off were by far above the average. The books did a big business. Two favor ites succeeded In coming under the wire in the lead and two of the other races were won by heavily-backed second choices. The first fatal accident of the meeting occurred this Afternoon. As one or the suburban trains on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad was pulling up to the tracks an Italian girl, about nine years old. who was standing on a car platform, was blown from the train by the high wind and was instantly killed. She was one or a party of four tambourine girls who were going to the races. None of her companions jould tell who she was, only knowing her by her first name, Annette. The remains were taken back to the city ana turned over to an undertaker. INDIANA DEATHS. Rev. Charles P. Jennlngi, n Distin guished Indluna Preacher. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Nov. 20.-Ex-President Harrison drew a large crowd to the United States Court room to-day to hear his argument in the Toledo. Kansas City & St. Louis railway, case. The ex-PresJdent represents the heirs of Hannibal Hamlin, applicants for themselves and other holders of the defendant company's securities to be allowed to present an intervening petition, setting up their Interest In the property. The applicants claim that their securities, which amount to $3,805,000, are equivalent to second mortgages and should be considered as a lien on the company property. The Continental Trust Company, the principal opponents of the motio"- are represented by Butler & Ken ton. . . indlanapoiis, and Mr. Quinley, of New York city. General Harrison's argument was brief and pointed. He said "that It could not do one any Injury to grant the application made by his clients, and he thought the court would desire to have all possible creditors set up their claims before the final hearing of the suit. He spoke mildly and directly, with no attempt at oratory. The court allowed the trust company until Dec. 20 to file an answer to the application, and the hearing ended. It was in the nature of a coincidence that General Harrison was engaged In a case In- which the heirs of Hannibal Hamlin. Vice President under President Lincoln. were involved, and that the hearing was before Judge Ricks, whom General Har rison himself, as President of the United States, appointed to the bench. SAVINGS HANK CLOSED. Failure of an Oregon Institution, vrith Heavy Liabilities. PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 20.-The Portland Savings Bank failed to open its doors this morning. The lack of public confidence and unremitting withdrawals of deposits are given as reasons of the closing of the bank. o. N. Denny has been appointed re ceiver and the bank will go into liquidation. The assets of the bank are given at $l,(w0,000; liabilities. $1,430,000. The closing of the bank was doubtless precipitated by the death of Frank Dekum, the president, about a month ago. The bank first closed its doors in the panic of 1S93, but resumed in May of this year under an agreement with 'the depositors that they were to draw out quarterly. 10 per cent, of their deposits. Many depositors refused to sign under any condition and withdrew their deposits when the bank opened. This materially aided the present suspension. . Irwin May Pay Ills Debts. PITTSBURG, Nov. 20.

Irwin, the missing discretionary pool speculator. will, it is said, probably return to this city and, after settling up his accounts, con tinue speculation for a few capitalists who will furnish the funds.

McCook, George J. Gould. William Brookfleld, Congressman IsI4or Straus, Congressman Warner Miller, John D. Crimmins and others. The opening address was made by the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Alexander E. Orr, who dwelt upon national, State and municipal politics., He declared that the financial and commercial skies were clearing. Mr. Orr touched upon the various causes that had been attributed as responsible for the hard times, and eaid that the menace to -the growth and pros-. penty of the country did not come from strikes, social disorders, financial embar rassments or tariff complications, but from the tendency to venal and in-competent leg islation, which tends -to paralyze the moral forces of the Nation. Sooner or later the coun-ry will be driven by force of circum stances to understand, and the lesson Is coming more raDidly than is realized, that the only sure method of warding off these seasons of distress, these periods of na tional anguish. 4s to hold Individual interests far noug-h off to enable an enlargement of the rank of moral vision, and see to It that only men of tried integrity, ca pacity and patriotism are sent as representatives to legislative halls or appointed to municipal office. Ex-President Charles S. Smith made a speech, in which he declared that prior to the recent elections business men had brought money to him in his capacity as a member or the Committee or seventy, ana that many of them were fearful to let their names become known, reasoning that in the event of a Tammany victory they would be persecuted in their business. Mr. Smith congratulated the chamber upon the fact that the era of intimidation had passed, and expressed his confidence that New York city's government would now be administered upon business principles. A letter of regret from President Cleve land was read, in which the President said: It would give me great pleasure to accept thli courteous invitation if it were possible for me to do so, but the demands upon my time are such- that I feel obliged to decline. I am none the less Indebted, however, for the thoughtfulness and regard of which this favor is an evidence." LETTER FROM PARKHURST. Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, who had been ex pected to speak, wrote that illness prevented his attendance. His letter was. In part, as follows: "It is with feeling akin to Impatience that I find myself forbidden to meet with you In acceptance of your kind Invitation on the occasion of your an nual, festival. 'Your1 annual dinner synchrnoizes so closely with events that mark an epoch in our municipal history that it must be that the occasion will be an Influence operating determinatlvely upon the future and helping to set the pace of men's opinions and actions in the time to come. It was In re sponse to a demand emanating from the Chamber of Commerce that there was sent from Albany the committee that has made possiois tne victory of Nov. 6, and it is in no small degree to be credited to prominent and influential members of the chamber that events have been guided and opinions shaped in a way to lead to the position of splendid possibility that, as citizens of an emancipated city, we now occupy. "It is germane to the eenlus of thA Chamber of Commerce to have It mentioned that the tide or sentiment which has so recently struck and overwhelmed the enemy is one of nonartisan and nonpolitical devotion to the common interests. All industrial and social conditions, all nationalities, men of all religious and political faith, have combined for the overthrow of municipal misrule, and for the establishment in us stead or a government by men whose characters, capacities and record commend themselves to the popular intelligence and conscience. The triumph of Nov. 6 was a protest against dirty politics, and now the following up of the results of that victory must continue to be a protest against the interference of small and pettifogging poli tics, ine town is just now in a situation to plant deep for itself the foundation of a generation of honorable and dignified muni cipal Hie, and it is our duty as men -who are responsible both for the present and the future, to watch day times and lie awake nights in jealous exclusion from that foundation of any element that may work contractingly and dwarfingly upon the superstructure that may be raised upon it. ' "If I speak upon this matter with feeling and emphasis it is because the experience of the past three years has taught me that semi-reputable chicanery is a great deal more dangerous that covert depravity, and that a decent man who thinks in a small orbit is capable of vastly more mischief than a man who tracks over the whole horizon with marks of ingenuous rascality. New York city has now its destiny in Its own hands. God and the right have made her superbly victorious. It remains now to avail of victory In the same broad and thorough . spirit of uncompromis In which the victory was won. Half measures and half men are an Insult to the occasion. A wisdom wiser than that of man has guided our city end w, strength stronger than that of man has been its endowment It is harder to use victory than it is to win It but history is making; the best energies of the best men are enlisted, and faiih in God. in our services and In one another may safely be trusted to complete the work so auspiciously begun. GENERAL SCH'JFIELD'S REGRETS. MaJ. Gen. J. M. Schofleld, in sending his regrets, said that the Influence for the good of the Chamber of Commerce was felt not only in New York but all over. the country. "The political action of the citizens or associations," the General continued, "In ordinary times of peace. Is determined by their visible, present interests. Those interests, which are more or less remote or contingent, receive little consideration from them or from their representatives in Congress. Only a small fraction of the people of this country are so circumstanced as to have before them at all times the vital necessity of adequate security for trade and commerce. War brings out patriotic sentiment everywhere, but In peace, the great mass cf citizens have little time to think of anything but their own local and present Interests." Letters of regret were also received from Vice-President Stevenson. Chief Justice Fuller. Secretaries Carlisle and Gresiam, Speaker Crisp, Senator Sherman, the very Rev. S. Reynolds Hale, dean of Rochester. England, the Earl of Aberdeen, GovernorGeneral of Canada, and others. In response to the toast, "Our New Country," Mr. Halstead made an eloquent reference to the westward progress of civilization. He referred to the construction of the Erte canal, the Pacific railroad and to the later improvements in the means of transportation, until the greatness of the earth and its mysteries are no more. This, he said, is more than a new country; it is a new world. Our own farmers are in competition with those of Egypt. India and the furthermost ends of the earth. Once we were an isolated nation, but now we touch elbows with all the races of mankind and all the continents and islands are a federation. The newspapers are "the parliament of man. Mr. Halstead concluded with a glo.ving tribute to the mighty city of New York. Gen. Nelson A. Miles responded to the toast, "The Army;" Rev.

Lee Crandall, who ran for Congress on the Kolb Democratic ticket against General Wheeler In the Eighth Alabama district, is at Populist headquarters here, ft esh from the conference of Kolb men at which It was fletermlned to issue the manifesto published to-day. Mr. Crandall says that Colonel Kolb will be duly sworn In as Governor on the 1st of December by some magistrate qualified to administer oaths and will then proceed to attempt to perform " the functions of Governor. When asked whether fighting -would ensue, Mr. Crandall eaid: "The Oates men have the militia to back them and the support of the administration, while we have not many arms, but you know what Napoleon said about the right. Comparatively few Kolb men from the back districts were at the convention last week because they were unable to v get there, and we cannot tell how many will respond to the call on the 1st of December. Many of them are too poor to travel. There will be contests made In the House against six of the eight Democratic candidates who were given certificates of election, and we will present such Indisputable evidences of frauds that the committee cannot overlock then" Senator Pugh, of Alabama, arrived this morning fresh from his home. He salt that notwithstanding he had left Montgomery on Sunday last, he had received no Intimation of Captain Kolb's purpose to Issue a manifesto, and that he was as much surprised as any nonresident of Alabama could have been upon reading the pronunciamento In the morning papers. Senator Pugh declined to discuss the matter further than to say that if Captain Kolb should attempt to put his plans into execution ho feared -and believed there would be serious trouble. The Senator. In reply to a question, said that Governor Jones was a man of courage and determination. Senator Mora-an to Be Re-Elected. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 20. Senator Morgan was nominated for re-election today by a Joint caucus of the Democratic members of the Legislature. The manifesto issued yesterday by R. F. Kolb, that he had been elected Governor, and would take his seat Dec. 1, fell still-born here. No attention is paid to it. The Advertiser printed this morning an Interview with Taubeneck, in which he claimed that it was the understanding of the People's party that Morgan -a as to come to Alabama and stumo the State in the interest of free silver and in opposition to Oates, but after making -three speeches he changed his views and worked for Oates. CLAY 12 VAN'S. llovr Tennessee's Governor-Elect Played It on the Democrats. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. Senator Harris and Representatives McMillin and Patterson, the leading member of the Tennessee delegation in Congress, are back tn Washington. To them the bitterest "episode of the election Is the lict that Clay Evans, of Chattanooga, is elected Governor of Tennessee. Mr. Evans was Second Assistant Postmaster-general under President Harri son. He Is a prominent iron manufacturer of Chattanooga and a successful business man. "I may add," said one of the Tennessee members to the Journal correspondent, "that Clay Evans ts about as smooth a politician as we have in our State, and that is saying a good deal. He played it down on us in fine style at the last elec tion. The western part of Tennessee Is heavily Democratic, while the eastern part is almost as entirely Republican. A day before the elections Evans notined all the Republican sheriffs In the eastern part of the state to report only about w per cent. of the real vote cast on election day in their counties. It is possible that Mr. Ev ans suspected the overzeal of some of our returning officers In western Tennessee. At All events his Republican friends obeyed his orders. Then the returns from Lauder dale, Fayette and Gibson counties, which are banner Democratic counties In western Tennessee, came in. and the majorities they cast for the Democratic candidate were big enoueh to lust about elect him by a com fortable majority. Then, after Mr. Evans had put us on record as to our votes, his sheriffs came forward with the true vote of their counties, and of course Evans was elected. Our people in western Tennessee had been a little hasty about announcing their first returns as ofiiclaL so that of course we were in no position to meet Mr. Evans s figures on the second returns. This will account for the fact that, while the first returns on the night of the-elec tion gave Evans the governorship, the re turns on the following day, when western Tennessee was heard from, elected the Democrat, Turney, while on the following day, when eastern Tennessee as amended was returned Mr. ivans was again elected. Georgia Election Agreement. . ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 20. The squabble over the election of a Congressman In the Tenth Georgia district has been settled. J. C. C.

P., Nov. 20.-Senator Pettfirrew, in an interview concerning a dispatch stating that he, together with Senators Stewart and Jones will launch a new political party on behalf of the silver men if the Republicans do not put a freesilver plank in their platform in 1836, says the report is entirely false.
