Iti1a fact, though by no means gener.

are rapidly evolving a distinct style in
carpets in this country. Itis not SO very

sought our market that they made ape.

patterns that were most successful abroad
found most favor here also, and those
ouLlandish abortions and unstable pat.

Since then, the great development, not

departments OF our manufacturing con.
cerns has worked great changes. Not
only have we a much greater variety OF
designs to choose from, but the taste Of
customers has been sensibly modified and
educated in the matter Of carpets. While
an apparently endless diversity Of style
is produced, comprising, it might seem,
everything possible, either in design or
color, it is noted, more especially by any
one fresh from abroad, that there Is a
distinctive character In the majority Of
our original productions which cln only

Cross 4 Co.'S Failure.

San FRANCISCO, October l0.-The fail.
ure OF Cross & Co., importers and general
commission merchants, is announced to-
day. The parent house is at Glasgow,
with branches at Valparaiso and here,
and extensive business connections in
Europe, South America, Australia and
China. The immediate cause Ia the death
OF the senior partner, Alex. Cross, at Val.
paraiso September 10th, the surviving
members being ignorant Of the exact re-
lations between the Valparaiso branch
and the parent house, and Judged it best
to suspend payment until a statement Of
the account was received. Before sus-
pending, the firm consulted with the
municipal creditors. The firm is largely
interested in the leading mining property
on the coast, being trCasurers and man
agers Of several prominent CALIFORNIA
mines, including the Black Bear, Plumas,
Eureka and others; also treasurers of the
Leeds Mining Company, and represent
the English Interests in Su,ro tunnel.
They were also agents for number OF
insurance compa..ieS, which, II is stated
will not be affected by the suspension.
The general belief i. that the firm will
come out all right.

can named Bedell, who complains that he
was removed from his home, business
and family, and expelled from France
without any assigned reason. Bedell

Duke De Broglie, in speaking at a
meeting Of Conservatives, defended the
government from the charge Of clerical
ism. The real issue, he said, was con.
Servatism or radicalism. Gambetta wore
a mask, sheltering himself frat behind
Inis and then behind Grevy. He dreaded
Gambetta's succession to the Presidency,
which might ensue should they desert
President McMahon, who had no desire
to destroy the Republic.

ton.
In the go class nine horses started,
but Johnny Gordon was distanced in the
first heat. The race was an interesting
one. The failure OF Colmer, who was the
favorite, to take the first money, shocked
pool patronizers terribly.
The second race, in the 222 class, at.
tracted much attention, with eight good
starters, Lew Scott being the favorite.
The third heat was gamely taken by
Monarch, Jr., which set those who had
bought pools on the field wild with ex.
citement, but the failure OF the favorite
TO take heat shook the investors In first
choice out Of considerable money.
Goldsmith Maid did not trot against
time as announced, Doble declaring that
she was unfit for work on account Of hav.

No surprise to tho preslden,.

WASHINGTON, October lO.-The most
intimate friends oil President Hayes say
that he Is not surprised At the result in
Ohio. In fact it was anticipated on the
ground mainly that the State has for
several years past been gradually becom.
ing more and more friendly to the doc.
trine Of initiation. Hard times also had
some influence, and the Workingmen's
ticket was benefit 10 the Democrats, and
this being the of year there was much in.
difference on the part Of the Republicans.
The election could not be called rebuke
to the Administration, because the Dem.
ocrats themselves claim to be in favor Of
civil service reform and the Southern
policy.

IOWA ELECTION.

CHICAGO, LIS, October ll.-Up to this
hour, 2:3O, Iowa retnrns are so scattering
that nothing more definite than sent last
evening can be given. The Republican
majoriiy will probably not fall under
%, 900 nor exceed 10000. Both branches
Of the Legislature are strongly Republi.
can rs indicated last evening.
DEs MONIES, IA, October 10.-The
report to the State registry indicate that
Gear (Republican) for Governor will
have majority over Irish q (Democra!) Of
10000, and little more than that over
Stubs (Greeubacker). The Republican
majority in the Legislature will be Sj or
40. In Mills county, John y. Stone IRE,
publiCaB) for Representative, and who ia
generally looked upon as the next Speak.
er OF the House, was elected BY so ma.
jority. In Polk county the Republicans
have elected their whole ticket excep.
Treasurer, which is still in doubt. Re.
ports from Dallas county indicate that
The whole Greenback county ticket Is
elected except the Republican Represent
ative, Russell. Returns from all parts Of
the State show an unexpected strength
for the GreenbackerS, and the leading
men Of that party here are claiming now
that their candidate for Governor will
have more votes than the Democratic
candidate.
Iowa CRY, October lO.--A special re.
ceived from Mr.. Irish indicate that Mr..
Gear will have only plurality and not
a majority for Governor. The Republi.
can vote falls OF largely in the Banner
counties, Gear losing even Linn and Jes.
cup. Stubbs drew largely from the Re.
publicans. The Democratic Legislature
gains largely and there Is much uneasi.
mesa among Republican politicians over
the rapidly narrowing joint majority.

RICHMOND. IND, October lO.-Senator
Morton has been declining for several
days, but yesterday official reports stated
that he had improved very much in the
past twenty:iour hours. Although there
is no immediate cause for alarm the in
dications point towards the Senator'S
death. His digestive organs are and have
been unable to perform their natural
functions, and sooner or later he will die
for want OF nutrition. A deprecated
conviction pervades this community that
he will not recover.

RandaIl's PrOpSectS Good for the
NpeakcrShip-Alr. Caldwell tor

WASHINGTON, October s.-Members Of
Congress continue to arrive here very
slowly, and there can be no accurate
9Suting on the Speakership for some
days. 1t is understood that the attempt
to form combinations to defeat Mr.. Ran.
Dali has met with no success thus far,
and his prospects continue good. He will
SSeftaInly have quite a number Of the
southern votes which were given to 9th.
era two years ago. His most sanguine
supporters predict his nomination on the
6rst ballot. With regard 10 the contest
Tor the Clerkship, outside sentiment
seems strongly in favor Of Mr.. Caldwell,
Who Is developing a good deal Of strength
outside Of his own section. His friends
continue very confident. Virginia has
candidates in the field for three out Of the
i've elective offices, and the delegation
from that State Is divided. The result
may be the loss Of the Postmastership,
The number ofcandidates for Doorkeep-
&c increases daily, but few Of them can
command even the delegations from their
own State, and no one Of them appears 10
have any decided strength.
