BRITISH GRAIN.
Harvesting Begins a week Earlier
than Usual, with Eminently salts
factory Results, For Com
plants to the Contrary
Notwithstanding.

LONDON, August 6.-The Mark Lane En-
press, in It's review of the British corn trade
for the past week, says: wheat cutting has
commenced a weak earlier this season than
last year, thanks to the wealth 7. In spite
of complaints of blight and defective ears,
the advices In the main are satisfactory, and
unless there should be an unexpected def
cheney the crop will be fair average one
that is about thirty bushels to the acre. Bar
ley has improved little, owing to the recent
showers, and where early sown on good soil
the crop promises well, but In the eastern
counties especially the grain has suffered
much from blight and premature ripenlng.
The yield In these districts will be poor.
Roots are doing well, but would be better for
more rain, particularly in Scotland, where
turnlps and potatoes are suffering FOR want
of moisture. There was very little change In
trade for English wheat, which was quiet,
but steady; supplies were moderate; freshly
threshed samples commanded full prices
occasional samples of the new crop have been
shown by growers. Imports of foreign wheat
into London have been more moderate, and
the foreign wheat trade mo ntaIns its firm
ness. Notwithstanding the proximity of the
harvest the lower prices telegraphed from
America tempted many mlllers to increase
their stocks, and the weeks sales have been
fair. There does not, in the immediate fu-
ture, appear to be much reason for appre-
hending any but slight fluctuations In values.
Maize on spot has eased slightly, both in
London and Liverpool, owing to the con-
tinued heavy arrivals of shipments from At
lantic ports, but prices for cargoes off the
coast are maintained owing to limited selec-
ton"

Special to the Chicago Tribune, RADICAL
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 4.-Post-
master General Key says the Democrats of
Tennessee will next fall brlng about a divis-
ion in their ranks, growing out of the repu-
diation doctrine held by a majority of their
number regarding the payment of the State
debt. The argument Of the Democratic
statesmen there, Judge Key says, is as fol-
lows: ''Who holds your bonds? Northern
ers, altogether-men who murdered your
fathers and sons, and robbed your households
To pay their bonds would be an outrage"
The better class of Democrats, said the post
master general, repudiate such sentiments,
and are gong to cut off from all political
affiliations with those who uphold such doc
trines. Judge Key says there is no prevent
ing a split In the Democratic party in his
State when they elect their judges and mem
bers of congress next fall. In reference to
the recent victory claimed by the Greenback-
ers at the election In Memphis, last Friday,
he ridicules the idea that there was any po-
litical significance, in a national point of
view, to be attached to it. 1t was mere
combination of both parties upon purely To-
cal questions, and, if any victory at all can
be claimed, he says, it may be looked upon
as an Endorsement of the present national adj
ministration for the manner in which it has
bestowed t5e official patronage of the State

A NEGRO RIOT

Special to the Appeal
NASHVILLE, August 6.-Great excitement
prevails here tonight over an attempt by the
negroes to mob Policeman Fields in the nc
torious hole known as 'Black Bottom" He
had arrested negro named Jack Vaughan
for brutally beating negro woman named
Charity Perkins. When he reached the
street crowd of negroes thronged around
HIM with innumerable razors and knives,
with the cry, Kill the d--n white -"
Constable Robertson in attempting to reach
Fields had his clothing torn from his person.
Others rushed in to his aid and finally beat
the negroes back, tied Vaughan with ropes,
hand-cuffed him and took him to the police
station. Four policemen were afterward sent
to arrest those who urged resistance to
Vaughan S arrest, when they were bulldozed
by three hundred negroes. A squad of po-
lice were called to the spot at double quick
and squeiched the mob.

THE question of the payment of the

is uppermost In Democratic eounsels, will re-

stating, for the Ty-ibune's benefit especially,
that Keys strongest supporters and most
ardent friends in this shelby county are
among the most rampant of what it terms
the repudiators. We may also add that Mr.
Key is about as well posted in Tennessee pol

highly by the Democrats of the State as the
people of the south are by the Tribune, judg-

A CORRESPONDENT of the Nashville Ban
HeT, writing from Knoxville, and who has
recently travelled through all the counties of
East Tennessee, says that the people, as
rule, are of the opinion that the set
Element of the State debt question
should be submitted to them by proper legis-
lative enactment for their consideration and
ratification. Their earnest conviction is that
if the matter is left to the general assembly
to adjust, an unfavorable compromise will be
accepted in the name OF the State, such as
will be altogether unacceptable to the masses.
The idea Of submitting the question to vote
of the people is rapidly growing in favor,
and there is no doubt but that majority of
the counties in East Tennessee, which will
hold their conventions TO select delegates to
the State Democratic convention, to convene
In Nashville on the fifteenth instant to nomi-
nate candidate for governor, will so instruct
their delegates.
