avenue of escape for the democracy from

itself. Whether these riigitestioiis were

use of words which hud a rather signifi

Fraud In Luutalana.
Washington, Nov. 10. Chairman
Ilabcock, of the republican congressional
campaign committee, today received the
following letter from D. 1. Ferris, secre
tary of the republican state committee
of Louisiana :
"As I wired you in regard to the elec

such steps as are necessary, and are ac
tively engaged in taking depositions be

curred election day, and are prepared to
present an impregnable case to the fifty
fourth congress as to the seating of our
congressmen. Never in the history of
th3 worst days of fraud in Louisiana have
they gone so far. The democrats are ad

that onr congressmen w ill be.

Sau Fuancinco, Nov. 10. Complete
returns from 2,0S4 precincts in a total of
2,274 precincts in California give : F.s

plurality, 757.
The San Francisco vote, as collected
by the local newspapers bureau, which
gave Budd a plurality of 11,229, is in
cluded in these figures. Counting
Budd's plurality in this city 11,703, as
claimed by the democratic state central
committee, his net plurality in the state
at large is 1,234, with 190 precincts to
hear from. When asked about the
talked-of possibility of a contested elec
tion, w ith the decision left to a commit
tee of the legislature, Chairman Gould,
of the democratic committee, said he
had not heard of any such proposal,
adding :
"I do not think that the republican
managers would dare to attempt to de
feat the popular will by any such
scheme."
Dispatches received at democratic

i WiMiiNiiTiiN, Nov. 10. There are
! stronif indications that another issue of
'bond will lv. mndi during the coming
i week. For some time past the convic
tion has t: e:i growing upon the presi
j dent that an i."ue of another $50,000,000
would seem to c necessary, and on his
! return from Buzzard's Bay he expressed
! to the members of his cabinet Lis be

layed, and that tho sooner it ws made
I the better. He saw the treasury re-

immediate prospect of any favorable
change. Secretary Carlisle, it is under
stood, took a more cheerful viesv. He
argued that the receipts from internal
revenue and customs must of a neces
sity toon show a marked increase; that
the supply of whisky, which was with
drawn from bond just previous to the
passage of the new tariff act, to avoid
the payment of the additional 20 cents
per gallon, would very soon be exhaust
ed, and that the demands of trade would
result in largely-increased revenues from
this source. He held that what was
I true of the internal revenue was equally
true of the customs. Just before the
tariff act went into operation the with-
il m ti-a 1 i" j" " t rtnesjil rf rrfrAa s.t aearn il n-
umnui ii viu , i i KJ k JJAB V4 Ifl.lJ
scription was abnormally largo. This
supply, he said, had been exhausted, or
nearly so, and it was the confident ex
pectation of the secretary that the pres
ent revival of trade would soon remove
any necessity lor further issue of bonds.
Up to thid time there had been no signs
of any important withdrawals of gold
for export, and it was his opinion that
the emergency might 1 passed success
fully without increasing the public debt.
He argued, too, that his experience in
placing the last issue had taught him
that the issue of another $50,000,000
might fall far short of recouping the gold
reserve by that amount. The secretary
maintained that it was an easy matter
to deposit leal tenders at the subtreas
uries and demand gold with which to
pay for the bonds. This evasion of the
spirit of law authorizing the issue of the
bonds was several times detected dur
ing the eetttlementa of the last issue,
and he feared it might be practiced
again. The president, however, thought
that all things considered, he preferred
not to wait until congress assembled in
December, when measures might be
taken to obstruct the issue. In his
opinion the situation demanded the is
sue, and there should be no unnecessary
delay in the matter.
At the request of the president, Sec
retary Carlisle joined him at Woodley
this afte.-noon, and at a lute hour had
not returned to the city. Persons in a
position to know believe that the issue
will 1 officially announced before the

The Kt. l.nnla Launched and Christened

Puiladki.i'iiia, Nov. 12. Shortly after
12 o'clock the magnificent steamship St.
Louis, of the American line, was suc
cessfully launched at the Cramps' ship
yards. The affair was witnessed by fully
50,000 people. Sirs. Cleveland, wife of
the president, broke the traditional
bottle of champagne ou tho bow of the
noble ship es it glided down the ways,
at the same time uttering the words, "I
christen thee St. Louis." In this in
stance and for the first time since the
ceremony was observed at the shipyards,
the champagne was of American make.
All the preparations for the launch had
been carefully made, and, although the
ship is 120 feet longer than any that
ever has been launched, the difficult feat
of getting the vessel from fhe ways into
tho water was accomplished without a
hitch. After the launch, invited guests i 01 J-' H,,n'-' Ctiang wouui tienceiortn tie

Charles H. Cramp, in a speech of wel

with two exceptions the St. Louis was
the largest and most powerful sh!p in
the world. He referred to the progress
of shipbuilding under President Cleve
land's administration, and credited to
his policy the fact that such wonderful
results had been accomplished in Amer
ica. "The St. Louis," he said, "is built
on American plans, by American work
men and of American material. Twenty
sis ships were recommended by Mr.
Cleveland and authorized by congress."
Concluding, he said that, while there
may be honest differences on questions,
national approval of Cleveland's vigor
ous naval policy would always be unani
mous. The toast to President Cleveland waB
drunk with cheers, and he made a felic
itous response, alluding to the part he
had taken in restoring American com
merce and building up the navy.
The Flection In Hawaii.
Victouia, B. C, Nov. 12. The (steam
ship Miowera arrived today, bringing
advices from Honolulu to November 3,
as follows :
The election was held October 29th
for senators and representatives for the

were elected. The single opposition

other islands the candidates elected

of some of the planters to advocate the

in oruer to ne iree to import Asiatic con

Mauri stands at the head of the plant
ers and is a leader in legislation. He
has come out strongly for annexation,
notwithstanding his desire as a planter
for cheap labor. He believes that if an

other ways. He thinks that there are
too many Japanese in the country now,

Importance of I'ort Arthur.
Washington, Nov. 12. The Japanese
legation has not received, up to noon
today, official confirmation of the cap

blow China has received. Counselor

Krupps. It is in some respects similar
to Brooklyn or Norfolk navy yards, al
though three times greater. Moreover

out tho capture, if effected, is mainly
important in giving the Japanese a for

they cannot hereafter be dislodged.

A Tokio correspondent gives addition

He says six forts on Talien-Wan bay,
