THE NEWS CONDENSED.

THE EAST. The Egyptian obelisk in Central Park, New York, is being treated to a coat of paraffine, which, it is expected, will prevent it being further damaged by the climate. It is already injured more than is generally supposed. Crumbling pieces are easily removed with the fingers, and with a chisel fragments are detached weighing a pound or more. The paraffine is made specially for this work, being distilled from crude petroleum under an enormous pressure, and is as nearly pure as it can possibly be. After the work is completed the stone will look slightly darker in color than it does now... .Mrs. Catharine Trump, Postmistress at Corning, Pa., has been arrested on the charge, which she admittted, of opening letters addressed to other people.

Y., and soon became imbedded to the ears in a bank of soft clay, where he struggled for twenty-four hours until relieved from his sufferings by death. The National Horse Show held in Madison Square, New York, last week, was a great success. It was undoubtedly the best ever held in this country. Over $1,000,000 was represented in horseflesh, and in a few cases $50,000 would not purchase a valued animal. The exhibition of trotting stallions was a great feature of the show. Another interesting feature was the display of fire-engine horses, and the testing of their ability to get out and ready for a fire. The display of roadsters, coachere, saddlers, carriage and draft horses was large and good, some of them of very fashionable strains. Don Cossack, owned by Arthur J. Caton, of Chicago, took the second prize in the trotting class. Mambrino King was awarded the blue ribboif.

John McCullough, the tragedian, died at Philadelphia from paralysis injthe muscles of the neck. Up to within forty-eight hours of his demise he was thought to be rapidly recovering. His wife and sister were at his side when he breathed his last. He was born in Londonderry, Ireland, about fifty years ago, and when a mere lad wheeled coal for a gas works in Philadelphia. The wardrobe and properties of Edwin Forrest were presented to him as a worthy successor. His last appearance on the stage was at McVicker’s Theater, Chicago, in September, of last year. His remains have been placed in a vault at Cedar Hill Cemetery. An estate valued at $40,000 is left to the widow and two sons. Large amounts of steel rails have recently been ordered in Johnstown and Pittsburgh. The demand for and merchant steel is greater than the supply. ... .Prof. Shaler, of Harvard College, in a report on mining in New England, declares that the abandoned Ely mine in Vermont paid out $2,000,000 in dividends, and that the proprietor of a mine at Lisbon, N. H., ground up his quartz and sold it as a fertilizer, and the following year peddled it out as an exterminator of potato-bugs.

THE SOUTH.

Evert Knight of Labor (save those in the morning newspaper offices) at Galveston, Tex., struck the other day, causing a virtual suspension of business. The strike was caused by the refusal of the agent of the Mallory Steamship Line to restore white longshoremen, recently superseded by colored laborers. If the affair is not compromised serious trouble is anticipated. Through the misunderstanding of orders by the conductors a terrible accident took place near Childersburg on the East Tennessee, Virginia apd Georgia Road, near Rome, Ga. Thirteen cars were piled in a huge mass. Ereman Swain, colored, was killed p<right. Conductor Hall is expected to die, and four train hands were fatally injured, one of whpm has since died.....

WASHINGTON.

The Secretary of the Interior has confirmed the action of the Commissioner of the Land Office in restoring to the public domain the tract of land in Southern California at the intersection of the Texas Pacific and Southern Pacific railroad grants. The Secretary, in his decision, holds that the Southern Pacific grant included only such lands as were not covered by other railroad grants, and therefore could not include the tract in question, which formed part of the forfeited Texas Pacific grant. The case had come up to the Secretary on appeal by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company from the Commissioner’s decision.... The United States Treasurer’s statement for the last day of October shows an increase in the net surplus in the Treasury of $44,559,267, as compared with March 31 last.

POLITICAL.

President Cleveland, in an interview with a member of the editorial staff of the Washington Post, expressed himself as follows in regard to the reorganization of the Civil Service Commission: The reorganization of the commission was made necessary by the resignation of the members of the old board. In such reorganization it seemed to me that friends for the cause could be made in the party to which I belong, and which is at present, to a large extent, charged with the enforcement of the law, by changing the political complexion of the commission. This view was, I think, shared by all the old Commissioners, and the change has thus far progressed with none but the best of feeling, so far as I know, on their part. In the selection of the new Commissioners there were so many different qualifications which I deemed desirable that I have found it no easy matter to fill the position with men who could combine the elements .which I consider most useful to the fair, honest, and successful enforcement of the law. Prominent leaders in the civil service movement strongly advised me to select one of the commissioners from the South. This I have done, and the person selected from that locality I am quite certain possesses all the qualifications for an efficient officer. Mr. Edgerton I never saw until yesterday, and I don’t remember that I ever heard of him until Chief Justice Waite urged him upon my attentions as a most excellent man for the place. From my impression of him upon a personal interview, and from representations made by his friends, I am entirely satisfied that no mistake has been mode in his appointment. I cannot rid myself of the idea that this civilservice reform is something intended to do practical good, and not a mere sentiment intended for the purpose of affording opportunity to ventilate high-sounding notions and fine phrases. My plan of giving it the greatest possible usefulness involves the removal of stumbling-blocks from the way of good, honest men who are inclined to its support, and to demonstrate in every public manner its value as adapted to the every-day affairs of the Government. Thus, two Democrats were selected, and I certainly intended to select them for the two prominent positions on the commission, and this was done largely in deference to the sentiments and opinions held by good men in the Democratic party. And i± has also occurred to me that it was a plain dictate of common sense that one of the old Commissioners should, if possible, remain for a time to aid the new ones. The preparation of the report of the commission is a most important matter, affording an occasion to recommend the reform to the people by exhibiting to them all it has accomplished, and the report ought to be very useful, too, in removing misapprehensions and objections.

Gov. Hoadly, of Ohio,, interviewed- in Chicago, says that personally he is not sorry he was defeated, as his health has not been such as to cause him to desire to remain in public life. His only regret is the .overthrow of his party. He sees no reason why the Prohibitionists should not increase in numbers in 0hi0.... Gov. Hill holds that the victory in New York was 'purely Democratic. Republicans, he says, may have voted for him, but they knew he was a Democrat when they did it.%?." 1 A journalist of Boston has obtained the views of some Southern Governors in regard to the political situation. Governor Knott, of Kentucky, writes that a very large majority of the white people of the South, while loyal to the Union and desirous only of honest and economical government, are Democrats from conviction. General Fitz Hugh Lee thinks the solid white vote of the South is the result of the reconstruction policy, and that the negroes will not divide so long as they are sustained by the National Republican party. Governor Perry, of Alabama, expresses the belief that “Northern preachers of sectional hate will find no more fruitful field in Florida than they had in New York.” Full returns of the New York election place Hill’s majority at about 11,200. Matthew Quay, Republican candidate for Treasurer of Pennsylvania, has a majority of about 42,000. Complete returns from all Legislative districts in Virginia show the complexion of the next Legislature to be

as follows; Senate—Democrats, 30; Republicans, 10. House —Democtats, 70; Republicans,*’ 30. i Democratic majority on joint -ballot, 60. Returns from all of the ninety-nine counties in lowa give Larjabee, Republican candidate for Governor,. a majority Of 8,123. The Legislature. according to corrected returns, will stand: Sixty Republicans in the House to forty opposition, and thirty-one Republicans in the Senate to nineteen opposition. The official returns of the special election held in the Fifth Congressional District of Illinois to elect A successor to the late Hon. Reuben Ellwood show that the Hon. A. J. Hopkins was elected by an unusually large majority, he receiving 9,097 votes out of 12,358 votes p011ed.... In New Jersey the Republicans have 5 majority in the Senate and 4 in the Assembly, making a majority of 9 on joint ballot. In Virginia Lee’s majority for Governor is about 25,000. In Maryland the majority for the Democratic State ticket is about 30,000. The Legislature stands about as follows: Senate, Republicans 6, Democrats 20; House, Republicans 16, Democrats 101; Democratic majority on joint ballot, 99.

GENERAL.

There were 156 failures in the United States reported during the week, against 170 in the preceding week, and 166, 219, and 149 in the corresponding weeks of 1884,1883 and 1882. Bradstreet’s Journal, in its weekly trade review, says: The general movement of dry goods has been light, and on the whole disappointing. At Boston there has been a smaller business during thß week than for a long time past. The reorders are not expected until settled cold weather appears. An encouraging feature is found in the Tact that, while the mills are producing in excess of one year ago, no complaints are heard, while early in November, 1884, there were pronounced demands for a further restriction of production. The demand fdf grocery staples has been only moderate, with sugar and Brazil coffee lower. Fancy grades of butter are higher. Cheese is dull, with light export demand, Iron, and steel, and coal present no new features as compared with last week. Hog products are higher on a better home and export demand, as well as in sympathy with the price of corn.

President Cleveland issued a proclamation commanding the anti-Chinese rioters at Seattle, Washington Territory, to disperse. Ten companies of troops were sent to Seattle to maintain order. A revenue cutter and a battery of artillery will assist them. At Tacoma the Grand Jury returned thirty-two indictments against the rioters, including the Mayor, Police Judge, the city editors of two newspapers, and other prominent persons. At Passadena, a suburb of Los Angeles, an anti-Chinese meeting was held, and twenty-four hours given the Chinese in which to leave the city. The Knights of Labor of San Francisco have issued a call for a mass-meet-ing, November 28, to demand the removal of Chinese from the city. TfiE Canada Pacific Railroad, just completed, cost nearly $250,000,000. Vast revenues are derived from the sale of lands, town sites, etc., by the Company.

BATTLE OF THE BALLOTS.

Result of the Elections in the Various States on Tuesday, November 3. Hill Governor in New York, Lee in Virginia, and Larrabee in lowa. Elections were held in a number of States for Governor and other State officers and members of the Legislature on Tuesday, November 3. A summary of the results in the various States, as gathered and telegraphed to the press on the morning succeeding the election, is given below:

NEW YORK. HUI and the Entire Democratic State Ticket Elected, but the Legislature Republican. The election in New York was for Governor and other State- officers, five Justices of the Supreme Court, and both branches of the Legislature. Governor David B. Hill, the Democratic nominee for/Governor, led his State ticket to complete victory, but the Republicans still hold both branches of the Legislature. Dispatches from New York City; on the morning succeeding the election give the following figures and estimates of the result of the poll: “A close estimate places the Legislature as follows : Senate—Republicans, 21; Democrats, 11. Assembly—Republicans, 75; Democrats, 53. The present Senate stands—Republicans, 19; • Democrats, 13. Assembly—Republicans, 73; Democrats, 55. The Sun places Hill’s plurality at 12,395. The World and Herald estimates his plurality at from 28,000 to 30,000. Hill’s plurality in King’s County (Brooklyn) will be about 10,000. For sheriff the City Press Bureau says Grant (Tammany) will have -7000 over Jacobus (Republican), and more than 10,000 over White (County Democrat). Eight hundred and one election districts and wards outside New York and Kings Counties give Davenport 167,012; Hill, 151,240; Bascom, 8 348. The same districts last year gave Blaine 191,225; Cleveland, 171,859; St. John, 7,434; net Democratic gain, 3,594. In this city the County Democracy openly traded Hill for Republican county votes, but Tammany and Irving Hall uniformly voted the straight ticket. 6 The day passed off very quietly, all business having been suspended. The World’s New York County table shows Hill's vote to be 122,816; Davenport's, 76,144 ; Bascom’s (Pro.), 999; total vote, 199,959; Hill's plurality over Davenport, 46,672. In 1884 Cleveland’s majority over Blaine was 43,064. In 1882 Cleveland’s over Fclger w-as 77,129. George C. Barrett, the Judge who recently sentenced Ferdjpand Ward, has been re-elected to the Supreme bench for fourteen years, for the New York County District. Timothy J. Campbell, nominee of Tammany and Irving Halls, was elected to Congress from the Eighth’New York District, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of ■ Sunset’ Cox. The election of Gov. Hill by anything like a pronounced majority is a very great surprise all around, especially as it is generally known that the large Mugwump vote developed last year was loyal to Davenport and the Republican ticket. The World and other Democratic papers claim that the Stalwarts knifed Davenport unmercifully, and not a little of the credit for Republican defeat is marked up to Mr. Conkling.”

lOWA. The Republican State Ticket Elected by from 5,000 to 12,000. lowa elected a Governor and other State officers and Legislature. The latter will elect a successor to Hon. Wm. B. Allison, Republican, in the United States Senate. A Des Moines dispatch of the 4th says : "Returns from 360 of the ’ ,703 voting precincts in the State give Larrabee 47,711 and Whiting 44,399—a net Republican gain of 1,718. It seems certain that Larrabee and the entire Republican State ticket are elected by from 5,000 to 12,000 majority, It must be remembered, however, that only about one-fifth of the State has been heard from, and that nearly all the returns are from cities and huge towns. The Republican gains in the precincts heard from average six votes to the precinct over the vote of two years ago, when Sherman had 2,000 majority for Governor. If this ratio is maintained the majority will be 11,000. There ore almost no returns on the Legislative vote, but such as have been received show that the Republican Legislative candidates have in almost every case run. behind the State ticket. The Democrats have ceased to claim the election of their State ticket, but'insist that they have carried thelbwer house." ~

Norfolk shows a Democratic gain of 1,400.

It is also claimed by them that many negroes were cut off from voting by the closing of the polls at Richmond, Lynchburg, and elsewhere. A dispatch from Richmond says that “returns from 329 voting precincts, including Richmond, show a net Democratic gain in this State of 7,612. Calculating the remainder of the State by the same ratio of gain, Lee’s majority will approximate 25,000. The indications are that the Democrats will have two-thirds of the Senate and 60 out of 100 members of the House of Delegates. The Legislature will choose a successor to Mahone in the United States Senate.”

A Trenton dispatch says: “The elecon In this State has resulted in a substantial victory for the Republicans.

The returns are not all in, as the length of the ticket necessitates a slow count. As far as heard from not a single fusionist candidate is elected. The State returns are coming in very slowly, but the indications point to Democratic success in nearly all of the counties, which insures a working maiority in both branches of the State Legislature.”

Comments on the Result in New York. ’ A New York City dispatch says: To the surprise of nearly everybody, and particularly the politicians who had predicted a trading of county candidates in favor of Davenport, Hill was s’cratched very little, while on the other hand his pasters were generously used on the Republican tickets in some quarters of the city. The weather was cool and bracing, and induced a large vote. From the earliest moment of the count it was evident that Davenport had been defeated, the first bulletins from outside of New York and Kings Counties indicating a falling away from the Blaine majorities, while in tha counties named it was plain to be seen that Hiil had sustained the anticipations of his most sanguine supporters. The count in New York, showing [’ ’48,844 majority for Hill, was completed before midnight. The following are editorial excerpts from the New York journals: The World: The result of the election in this State is the rebuke of two things—the bloody shirt and the bloodless mugwump; David B. Hill is chosen Governor by a majority probably fifteen or twenty times as large as was given to Mr. Cleveland last year. The mugwumps have failed to “strengthen and support" Mr. Cleveland’s administration by electing Davenport. Farewell, mugwumps, farewell. t « The Tribune: The Democrats retain New York. Gov. Hill has been elected by a figure so handsome as to make the beggarly plurality which the State gpve President Cleveland almost invisible. The return of voters whom Mr. Blaine’s candidacy alienated did not make good to the Republican party the loss this year of voters whom that candidacy attracted. Republican voters did not expect to succeed this year against the concentration of power by the administration to save itself, and therefore did not make thoeffort necessary to success. The Star: Our dispatches bring the welcome, but not unexpected, news, of a Democratic triumph in this State. There is no turning backward in the great work so auspiciously begun * Sear aga The people of New York stand by ie Democratic party, and vote to uphold the hands of the Democratic’ adnUhistratibn in the work of reform. • ' The Sun: The entire Democratic State ticket was elected yesterday. Gov. Hill's plurality appeared, at the time this page of the Sun went to press, to be at least 15,000. The foolish pretense ' of the mugwump organs that the success of the Democrats in this election would be inimical to Mr. Cleveland was spumed by the Democratic voters of the State. They Were too sensible to be deceived by such nonsense. They voted as the President himself voted—for the man who will hold up Mr. Cleveland’s hands in his own State and strengthen the influence of his administration. _ / • '’, . ■’ ' -"Ji:
