ANOTHER RIOT IN NEW ORLEANS Be-
TWEEN THE WHITE AND NEGRO CLUBS
FIGHTING IN THE STREETS-INTENsE EX-
cITEMENT-TRooPs CALLED OUT-N1SE
PERSONS KILLED.-NeU Orleans, October
PA row occurred tonight about 10
O'Clock between white and negro clubs. AS
q white club passed down st. Charles street,
Immediately in the rear of it was colored
club, and it continued so until they reached
the canal on Canal street, when shots were
heard, and both clubs rapidly left the
ground, and none were now to be seen.
Three negroes were killed. Canal street
in the neighborhood Of the melee was
strewed with the debris of torches and oil
from the lamps. 4 large and excited crowd
is gathering in Canal street, and the To-
cality is the same as that in which the
former disturbance occurred. One white
man is reported killed and white boy
shot in the hand.
Neog Orleans, October 25.-The origin Of
the disturbance is difficult to discover. A
number Of clubs, both negro and Demo
cratic, were parading the streets in various
parts of the city. a number Of negro clubs
passed down st. Charles street and out
Canal, very noisy and disorderly. The
Picagllne states that the negro clubs abused
and insulted white Democratic club
marching in their rear, and that the first
shot came from colored club, slightly
wounding white man named Richardson.
At all events, general fight began on
Canal street between Carondelet and Ba-
rome streets, in which number Of shots
we're fred.
The fight continued for three blocks, when
the negroes fled. Two negroes were killed
between Baronne and Dryades streets on
Canal street, and one dangerously wounded.
One negro hoy was crushed to death under
foot, and another negro killed at the corner
of Canal and Basin streets, and one or two
further out on Canal street.
About midnight scattered firing was heard
in all directions. No white men were
killed on Canal street, though several were
wounded, and taken home by friends. A
white man was shot and killed while stand
ing quietly near negro club-room at the
corner of Camp and Thalia streets. An
other white man was killed and horribly
butchered with an axe OF Ratchet, on Mel
paniere street, by negroes. One white man
was accidentally killed by his own friends
on St. Charles street. Coroner Roach, OF
the first district, held eight inquests this
morning-three whites and FIVE blacks.
Another dead negro is reported in the Sc
cond district, making nine fatal casualties
The white men killed were each of them
over mile from the first disturbance. The
disturbance began about 10 o'clock. AT /
o'clock Canal street was crowded with eX-
cited whites, who dispersed quietly when
squadron of cavalry appeared on the scene;
The stores on the corner Of Baronne and
Canal streets are marked by bullets as II
by skirmish fire.

THE EARTHQUAKE IN CALIF0RNIA-EF-
Feet IN THE Observation-Disclosures AT SAN
FKANCIsco.-San francisco, October "a
Details of the destruction of property IN
the interior of the State by the earthquake
of the 2lst have been received. Alameda
county suffered the most damage to property
extending in all directions back to San Lee
andre. Numerous assures of earth were
made, from some of which came clouds OF
dust, and others volumes of water. San
Leandro creek, which for months was dry,
is nowrunningrapidly. The stream of water
is in some places hot The villages of San
Leandro and Hayward are almost in ruins.
The brick buildings are all thrown down or
uninhabitable. There was only one build
ing uniniured at Alamado. Brooklyn and
Oakland also suffered severely. At San
Jose, Redwood City, Great Brick, and Adobe
House, and the Mission Of San Jose, are q
mass of ruins. Petoleuma, Healthsburg,
Santa Rosa Valley, and Martanez, all felt
the full force of the shock. Chlmneys and
walls were thrown down. The damage TO
property is considerable at Los Angeles. In
the State of Nevada the earthquake was
scarcely felt. :.
The Son francisco committee VI fafcni
tects report the City Hall unsafe, and the
building is to be taken down. Damage to
the school houses is trifing, and the schools
open as usual on Monday next. The United
States Marine Hospital building has been
condemned, and will be demolished. The
patients are at present encamped on the
grounds adjoining the hospital. The Gus
tom-house ia wrecked to such an extent
that it will probably not be occupied again.
Laborers are at work to-day On the shat
tered buildings, removing the debris from
the streets.
The shock at Els A. NJ. yesterday did
more damage as1 injured more buildings.
Some chimneys Of different manufactures
which suffered sonsi derably during the flrst
shock now haye to be demolished and re-
built. Some persons plaeethe loss at three
hundred thousand dollars others at two
millions. The latter figures are probably
nearest the precise loss.
San Francisco, Cal., October 24.-There
have been no more shocks of earthquake
since Yesterday morning. The excitement
has subsidized. The value Of real estate Is :
apparently unaffected by the disaster, ano
men enter into contracts with as little
hesitation as ever.

ESGLAyD.-London, October 25.-There
is good reason to believe that the follow
ing is the protocol agreed to by Johnson
and Stanley for the settlement of the
Alabama claims:
A mixed commission, consisting of eight
persons appointed by England and eight by
the United States, to cit in London and ex-
anime every claim presented-either Eng
lish or American. Each case to be argued,
either in person OF by attorney, by claimant,
and the commission will make the final
award.
The questions, of international law are
to be referred to the Emperor Of Russia.
The protocol now awaits the approval OF
Secretary Seward. ~ .s..r JHlrzT

The SPANISH REvoLUTIoN.-H is already
very evident that the Spanish revolution
means not only the overthrow of the clerl-
cal party, which had rendered itself OBJ
noxious by the support which it gave to the
old government, but also an attack upon
the Church itselt-that is to say, not
against its teachings and its spiritual at
fairs, but against its temporal influences
and its assumption of power. At Seville,
the Junta has already closed several mo-
nasteries and converts, and dismissed the
occupants. A seminary has been closed
and the scholars have been sent to their pa
rents. At Madrid, if the telegraph reports
be true, convent has been pillaged and
afterwards set fire to. This latter, to be
sure, is the unlicensed and brutal action OF
a mob, but it shows the popular feeling,
and the steps already taken by the Junta
at Seville Indicate very plainly the course
that will be followed.-Paris letter-BaIA-

> THE MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY AT TEE NEW
YORK .-On the lst OF July
the firm of James G. Kings Sons, Of New
York, sent to the sub-treasury for deposit
$43, 900 in bonds and two 81, 900 bonds OF
the issue Of 1913. The messenger delivered
the parcel, and while the clerk turned for
an instant to examine the Schedules, an
adroit thief abstracted the bonds and fled.
Since then every effort has been made to
find the bonds, as well as the thief who
committed the robbery. A few days ago

Third Dispatch.
NEW ORLEANS, October 26.-Midnight.-
About s o'clock tonight the white clubs
marched from all parts Of the city under
their officers, armed with every concelya-
BILE weapon, and formed quietly in perfect
order in Lafayette Square and on the streets
around the City Hall officers. The officers
of the clubs then waited for the Mayor, and
rendered their services to patrol the streets.
Not a negro policeman, and very few white
ones, have been seen on the streets, espe-
cially in the suburbs, since the Saturday
night fight. The Mayor informed them
there was no occasion for their services, as
General Rousseau had informed him that
he would take charge of the peace of the
city tonight.
The crowd, to the number of several
thousand, assembled around the steps of
the City Hall, where they were addressed
by General Sseadman, State Senator Ogden,
Mayor Conway, Harry 7. Hayes, and She
riff Maxwell, by all of whom they were adj
vised to retire peaceably to their homes.
General Steadman, Senator Ogden, and
Governor Yarmouth, to-day waited on Gen
eral Rousseau and rendered him the entire
control of the State Government, which
General Rousseau declined ,fbut infyiew Of
the threatening aspect of affairs ordered his
troops to patrol the city tonight, which
they are now doing, oil branches of the ser
vice being stationed through the city.
Harry 7. Hayes, in his speech tonight,
said that Superintendent-of-the- Police WI-
hanson had waited on the Police Board and
informed them that he had stricken the
name of every negro off the police rolls, and
that if his actions were not concurred IN it
would be utterly impossible to preserve
peace in the city. The Police Board itself
is composed in part Of negroes, but had no
alternative but acquiescence.
Sheriff Maxwell advised the crowd to 60
peaceably to their homes, and if needed,
he would summon them.
After the conclusion of the addresses,
and cheers for the speakers and General
Rousseau, the clubs dispersed quietly.
Not negro is to be seen on the streets,
and the localities where they usually con-
gregate are deserted. Of the immense
crowd on the streets all are white men, and
noobreach of the peace has been heard Of.

Bran for NIiIcI Cows.

Plain bran or ship stuff is one Of the
very best kinds of food to increase
milk. Why, we do not know. 1t is
not fattening. A steer could not be
fattened on bran alone, and a COW, if
fed on the best of hay and bran alone,
might fall of in her yield, unless her
strength and condition were kept up
by Indian meal or other stronger food.
If there is any thing in which there
would seem to be no strength, it is
bran-the mere hull Of wheat. 1t is
not stimulating, like brewers grains,
and can certainly do no harm, if it
does no good; and yet any farmer
who will make the experiment will
fnd-Or at least we have found
that a COW being otherwise kept in a
proper condition, her yield of milk
will be very considerably increased
BY giving her, twice a day, a feed OF
pure bran. The fact is patent, al
though we are not able to explain it.
If there is any one article, which
while keeping up the health and
strength of the COW, will also increas e
the supply Of rich, healthy milk, in
our experience it is cotton seed cake
meal. We have found this to have a
great effect on milk -secreting organs.
The cows, at first do not seem to relish
It. and it should be mixed with some
other feed, bnt they soon come to Ike
it, and we have never seen any bad
effect in any way American Stock
