EASTERN STATES.
Big Lobbying Expected.
Chicago, Nov. 17. The Washington cor
respondent of the Inter-Ocean telegraphs
that there is evidently some big lobbying
to be done this winter, which requires the
presence of some leading monopolists in the
country in Washington. D. O. Mills, Le
land Stanford and C. P. Huntington are
reported to have engaged) houses for the
i Tne Liquor Question in Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 18 Georgia had an
interesting campaign on the liquor question
during the past week in the live leading
counties. The wholesale liquor dealers,
whose business it being badly broken up by
continued restrictions upon their trade,
eent out agents with barrels of whisky to
influence the voters. In Taylor county
Cooper King, a drummer of a Macon whole
sale house, after buying twenty-five votes
with twenty-live drinks, was arrested and
is held under twenty-five warrants. The
county was carried by the whiskey men. In
M eriwether a little fight was made, result
ing in a victory tor whiskey. In Floyd
prohibition was also defeated. Campbeld
county, however, voted prohibition, and so
did Cattoosa county. Actual prohibition
now prevails in over one-half of the stale.
In the elections to come the wholesale whis
key men of Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and
Savannah will enter with him, furnishing all
the liquor needed free. In Worth county,
where prohibition now prevails, merchants
have resorted to the subterfuge of selling
brandy peaches. The grand jury now in
session has taken hold of the matter and the
merchants are begging for a chance to re
form. Iron WJ Is to Close.
Pittsburg, Nov. 18 The mills of Oliver
Bros. & Phillips, reported as having closed
down last night, have suspended operations
in all departments except the rolling mill,
and B. D. Oliver, one of the firm, stated
this evening that it was very probable work
would be suspended in that department very
soon if trade does not improve. Among
Other mills said to be preparing to close
down about the lot'i of next month are the
extensive works of Kverson McCrum & Co.,
and the Union iron mills, operated by Car
neige Bros. & Co.
Secretary J. D. Weeks anticipated a dull
ness equal to the four years succeeding the
panic of 1873.
Republican Convention at 3inclnn&tl-
Chicago. Nov. 17. A strong effort will
be made tn .secure the holding of the repub
lican presidential convention in Cincinnati.
Subscription papers are being quietly circu
lated, and those who have them in charge
say there will be no trouble at all in com
manding the funds needed.
A strong delegation wilt go on to Wash
ington to present the claims of Cincinnati
before the national committee, at their meet
ing the 12th of December.
There is a little outward effort in Chicago
to have the convention held here, although
certain New York journals advocate this
city.
Highway Bobbery Called a strike.
Norway Mich., Nov. 18. This afternoon
the employes of another mine adjoining the
Chapin turned out and joined the strikers.
Four hundred malcontents approached Su
perintendent Stockbridge, of the Ludington.
and requested an answer to their demands.
He refused to yield. Stroekbridge was
then thrown down, and kicked and knocked
around generally, during which cries
of "Kill him V '"Hanir him !" etc., were
freely uttered. As soon as he recovered
himself he told the men that they could
have anything they wanted; that they
might all go back to work, and consider
their day's work done at any reasonable
hour. He was then allowed to depart.
conMlng as a Presnst.
New York, Nov. 12. Truth to-day
prints the following in its Washington cor -respondence:
The result of the Virginia
election recalls to mind the prophecy of
Boscoe Conkling, made in the fall of 1877.
The subject of conversation was the ra
tionale of Hayes' southern policy. Mr.
Conkling said: "The true political ques
tion in this country is not between parties,
but between civilizations, each type of civ
ilization utilizing party organization as an
instrument. The line of demarcation is
as thoroughly geographical and the conflict
, along that line as irrepressible now as in
the time of Mr. Seward. Mr. Hayes' policy
predicated upon the idea of breaking the
solid south, is a farce based npon a chimera.
No political effort or experiment will prove
effective in disrupting the solidity of the
south. The question now is, and in twenty
years hence will be, whether the northern
majority shall control the destinies of the
country in peace as it has determined them
in war, or a southern minority regain by di
plomacy, exercised upon weak minds, what
it has lost through force wielded by strong
arms. In short, the United States are not
now composed of thirty-eight states, but of
two nations, and having a distinctive social
system and a system of politics and party
management appropriate to its social con
dition. The only question is, which of
i these two nations shall control the lesser
or the greater f
FOBECGN AFFAIRS.
WAR WITH CHIXA AND GERMANY.
Losdon, Nov. 18. The Marquis Tseng
being inter"iewed said : "I have pro
nounced the Tricou telegram a lie. I have
accused Gerry of false pretense in using it.
It is true the French ministry , after having
secured the vote, hare- admitted that the
dispatch was erroneous, but their explana
tions are not sufficient, hence Ferry and I
can have no personal relations. You may
say, therefore, that the parleying between
the French government and myself, as Chi
nese embassador, is suspended. If the
French attack either Sontag or Bacninh, es
pecially the latter, China will accept either
attack as a casus belli, and will go into a
war against France. A French attack up
on Bacninh would be purely an act of in
vasion, due to a mercenary motive. The
Bacninh district abounds with rich gold
mines. China will then be fully at war
with France. If the French attack Bacninh
I will at once demand passports for myself
and the entire embassy, and we shall leave
France. The results of such a war would
be disastrous. 1 regret that war is immi
nent. A great majority of the Chinese peo
ple desire war with France. " They believe
they are more thaTn competent to Hfcht
Franee. The progress of China in modern
military science recently has been really
great. No man can be popular to-day in
China unless he advocates war agairst
France . "
EIGHTEEN LIVES LOST.
London, Nov. 18. The British steamer
Condor, from Liverpool, sank otf Minden,
Holland, to-day during a violent storm.
Eighteen persons were lost, including the
engineers, who were killed by a bursting
boi'er. Eight were saved,
WAR WITH GERMANY AND FRANCE.
The diplomatic relations of France and
Germany remain pacific on the surface, but
a common social exasperation liejj beneath
it, and is intense. It is known that the
French governmeat made an offer to the
Berlin authorities to aid French detectives
to watch for the safety of the crown prince
while on his visit to Spaiu. The reply from
Berlin' was that the question of the recep
tion of the priuco concerned the Spanish
government. The prince, personally, has
refused to accept the protection even of
German detectives. Uneasiness about a
continuance of peace has passed into open
menaces of war. The tone of German jour
nals has become absolutely savage. The
Koenische Zc'dung shouts out that since a
bloody struggle is inevitable the sooner it
takes place the better, and another news
paper declares that any insults in spain to
the crown prince under French instigation,
would popularize the idea of war. At the
same time military newspapers inform
Italy that she will have to take the offen
sive in defense of her Germ in ally, and
lecture her on the backward state of her
artillery.
A BRUSH WITH THE NATIVES.
London, Nov. 19 Advices from the
British fleet on the west coast of frica
state that recently 150 English sailors were
sent up the Niger river to punish the na
tives at different points on that river for
outrages committed upon explorers and
traders. After shelling the town of Ab.iha
at Ahad Delta they ascended to Egga, a
large town 000 miles from the mouth of the
river. Here they landed and were at once
attacted by the natives. A fierce fight en
sued, in which three seamen were k'l'el
aud several wounded. The ittacting parly
of natives was driven into the bush and the
sailors returned to the fleet.
EC3YPTLVN COWARDS.
Cairo, Nov. 19. -Latest official accounts
of the 'fight at Toka state that the Egyp
tains lost e'even officers and 142 men, be
sides six Turks and several Greeks. They
also lost one gun, 300 riffles and 340 mus
kets before they regained their ship. The
Egyptians during the fight formed a hollow
square. When a small number of the en
emy locked their shields together and
rushed through the Egyptian line a panic
among the Egyptians resulted, It is doubt
full if black troops can be spared from Mas
sonah, which is in the same critical position
sa Suakem. The British gunboat Banger
has been ordered from Aden to Suskem.
PIRATES IN CHINA.
Hong Kong, Nov. 26. Pirates are dis
playing g.-eat activity along the river banks.
Junks and launches are frequently fired
upon. Water communication with Ha Noi
is threatened. The pirates are badly armed
but are spreading terror among the villa
gers. Four villages have been destroyed in
the vicinity of Hai Phong. The military
authorities sre helpless, because the execu
tive power is in the hands of civilians, who
have no adequate force beyond incompetent
native police. Scattered bands of Chinese,
supposed to be Black Flags, have been ob
served in the vicinity of Hai Dzuong, and
the garrison there has been reinforced from
Hai Phong. Admiral Courbet intends to
mass his forces for a united attack on
Bacninh. Spies report that 4000 reinforce
merits were recently sent by night overland
to Bacninh The parris.m at the latter
place numbers over 10,000.
ATTACKED BY TRICHINOSIS.
Berlin, Nov. 20. Fifty persons in
Thorn, West Prussia, have been attacked
by trichinosis.
WASHINGTON NEWS,
BOURBON BARBARITIES.
Washington, Nov. 19. A copy of the
Natchez Crusade.; received here, gives au
account of even more astounding barbarities
than those recently reported in Hazelhurst,
Copiah county Miss. A detailed statement
shows that one man, 68 years old, was
given GOO lashes, and another man, 60 years
of age, was shot dead in his wife's arms,
because they opposed bourbon tickets.
Washington Nov. 17. The trade dol
lar nuisance is certain to attract the early
attention of congress. The president and
cabinet have had the matter under consider
ation. It is now certain that Secretary
Folger will discuss the question pointedly
in his report, and stronglyrecommend the
redemption of all trade dollars, and that,
instead of issuing additional standard dollars
to take the place of trade dollars, the re
tired trade dollars will be received as bull
ion and used in coining standard silver coin,
ANNUAL REPORT OF PORTER.
Washington, Nov. 20 The annual re
port of Admiral Porter is notable for its
criticism of the new armored steel cruisers,
deigned by the naval advisory board, as
being deficient in canvas, and so constructed
as not to work under sail. This in time of
war would be a fatal defect, as all coaling
stations would be closed against the United
States and in time of peace naval vessels
should cruise under sail for the sake of econ
omy. The admiral believes in. the immedi
ate construction of a large number of swift
vessels, with powerful engines, and thinks
we could build twenty large ships in two
years. Prompt attention to lake defense
he considers of prime importance, and sees
no reason why we should not commence to
build on the lake shores two of the heav
iest ironclad, with powerful gnus and great
speed. Upon this subject the admiral says
there is every facility for constructing such
vessels on Lake Erie, aud one such ship
stationed near Buffalo could, in case of
threatened hostilities, drop down to the
mouth of the Wellaud canal and demolish
the entrance, docks, etc., rendering the
work useless for naval or military purposes.
Even should vessels succeed in passing the
canal, they would be immediately de
stroyed. "I would recommend that one of
the proposed ironclads lie built on Lake On
tario, and kept in the stocks ready for
launching in case of necessity."
Clearing House Returns.
Boston, Nov. 19. A table completed
from special dispatches to the Post fioin
managers of the twenty-seven leading
clearing houses of the United States gives
clearances for the week ending the 17th,
with the percentage of increase and de
crease, as compared with the corresponding
week of 18S2. The exhibit this week,
though showing a larger volume of trans
actions than last week, is still decidedly
unfavorable, when compared with that of
the corresponding week of last year.
Suspend Operations.
Pittsburg, Nov. 19. The Bessemer
steel works of Homestead, Pennsylvania,
closed down its rail department Saturday
night 'or an indfiuite period. The remain
der of the establishment will continue ope
rations until present orders are worked off,
when there will be a general suspension un
til improvement in trade.
Strange Find In Arkansas.
Little Bock. Nov. IS. A farmer named
Meyers, while hunting, discovered a cave
in the mountain side, and on exploring the
same, came across the skeleton of a man,
together with several silvcr coins. The
latter had evidently been manufactured by
Spaniards, the date, appearance and inscrip
tion indicating extreme antiquity. The re
mains were .in a wonderful state of preserva
tion. A belief is expressed that the cave
is in proximity to silver mines, which, ac
cording to legend, exist in mountain fast
nesses, which were worked by the Span
iards, and afterwards closed so effectually
that no trace of them could be found.
The Business Outlook.'
Nejv York, Nov. 17. Business shows
no improvement. The markets are dull,
and speculation is exceedingly tame. Gen
eral trade is nearer to a cash basis. There
will probably be no immediate recovery in
industry and trade, as we are now at the
threshold of winter. Though business is
rather deranged, there is no real eause for
discouragement.
Quarantined Against Smallpox.
Cairo, 111. Nov. 17. New Burnside, 111.,
has quarantined against Stone Fort and sur
rounding country. Smallpox has been pre
valent at Stone Fort for several days, and
to-day three new cases are reported in the
country.
A recent dispatch says : Senator Dolph
of Oregon has leased a residence on Thomas
Circle, at the intersection of Massrchusetts
avenue and M. street, Washington, D. C
The house will be the home of the senator
and his family during his term.
bridge company licensed.
Springfield, 111., Nov. 19. The secre
tary of state licensed this morning the Chain
of Rocks Bridge Company, which proposes
to bridge thn Mississippi ten miles above
the bis? St. Louis bridge. Capital stock,
S2,000,000. The project is believed to be
in the interest of the Gould line, and Chi
cago and Alton railway.
Woman Suffrage in Wyoming.
New York, Nov. 19. Times: The picture
a correspondent of the Times draws of the
special and political conditions in the terri
tory of Wyoming is dark and gloomy. It
is estimated that five-sixth of the population
of the territory live in string-towns lying
along the Union Pacific. The people gen
erally are intelligent and progressive. The
leading citizens of Cheyenne aud other prin
cipal places are rich, traveled, dressy goss
ipy, virtuous and well housed. The un
pleasing side of the picture can be told in a
few words: Cheyenne has thirty infamous
houses, forty licensed whisky shops, nine
gambling rooms where gaming is openly
advertised and carried on, a county jail with
an iron cage unfit for the confinement of hu
man creatures, no poor house, and a politi
cal system which may be described as inde
cent and corrupt. Primary elections are
farciacl, and regular elections, held under
the original law of the territory, are a bur
lesque. These facts are collected by a cor
respondent of the Times, with a view to
ascertaining what influence upon the Amer
ican poltical system is exerted bj woman
who have a right to vote. Woman suffrage
has existed in Wyoming since 1869. As a
matter of fact women are now never seen in
a jury box, nor do they ask Jfor or obtain
office. Their shaie in popular suffrage is
contained in occasional voting and adminis
tering laws making nominations, formulat
ing political platforms, or taking the stump
in an election canvass. By the enfranchise
ment of women, writes this stern political
moralist, corruption, trickery, fraud and
vice, as political forces already existing,
have been reinforced by weakness, indiffer
ence, ignorance, cowardice and imbecility.

FRANCE AND CHINESE.
Paris, Nov. 20. The report that the
Chinese have evacuated Sontag and Bacninh
is unconfirmed, and is not believed. In all
probability hostilities between France and
China will break out within a few hours.
.London. Nov. 20. A Vienna corres
pondent says he hears from reliable sources
that the government at Perkin has sent a
circular to eighteen viceroys, pointing out
the gravity of the political situation, and
expressing a firm resolution to oppose to
ihe utmost the French invaders. There
fore, it says, the services of 120,000 men
are required. Viceroys are enjoined forth
with to recruit men for the force desired by
the government and provide necessary uni
forms and provisions.
Kootenay Lake Mines.
John Duncan, better known as "Sailor
Jack," who arrived from Kootenay lake via
Portland, says the Victoria Colonist, re
ports fourteen mines located about half a
mile back from Kootenay lake. The great-
fst thickness of galena at this point is
eighteen feet, and the lowest two feet of
solid ore. These claims owned by Onley,
Hall aud Duncan have been bonded to a
company of American and English capital
ists for $10,000 each, and it is expected
work will be begun next spiing. The Prin
cess Louise claim, in which Mr. Duncan
owns a one-tenth interest, has been bonded
to Ainsworth, Blasdel & Co. There were
about fifteen men in the mines when our
informant left, and all who went prospect
ing struck good claims. In the Marquis of
Lome claim (one of the three bonded for
$10,000) the galena is eight feet thick and
the foot wall not yet reached. Mr. Duncan
will return to the" lake in the spring. He
showed us specimens from the Buttercup,
Marquis of Lome, Princess Louise, and the
Prairie Flower claims. Colonist.

The Lover Siuslav
From a gentleman just in from the Siuslaw
country, Lane county, says the Albany
Herald, we learn that the country is fast
settling up with immigrants. A wagon
road is being constructed from Eugene
City by the authorities of Lane county and
the residents of Siuslaw. The road is good
to Elk prairie, about thirty miles from tide
water. Another year will probibly see the
road completed, and then L ne county will
be greatly benefited by the opening up of
this large scope of country. On the com'
pletion of the road trading posts will be es
tablished, and then a nice little town will
spring up on the bay. The streams putting
into the Siuslaw are full of salmon, moun
tain trout abound, and game is plentiful.
A large lumber mill is being built on the
bay, a cannery is now in operation, and
other improvements will quickly follow the
completion of a wagon road. The chances
for getting good homes are not all taken,
and the railroad land, as yet, has scarcely
been touched. To those in search of homes
the Siuslaw offers, many advantages. A
school is in progress and everyone seems de
termined to put their hand to the plow and
make for themselves a desirable home.
