Hands Of u Mob.

DERvER. COL. October 3l.-Denvor has
been in the hands of II mob for eight hours,
and pow fully 1900 rioters are in tho street.
1t was discovered a week ago that fully eight
thousand illegal names were registered in
tho city, and Immediately thereafter tho
streets filled with strangers of the worst
character. Saturday night the Democrats
had procession carrying transparencies
with Inscriptions and cartoons. tending to
excite animosity against the Chinese. A
considerable portion Of tho processionists be.
camo intoxicated aud remained all night. At
noon, thoy made an assault upon the Chinese
houses tearing down tho houses and beating
and dragging out the Chinese. One was
dragged from Hop Lees place with a rope
about his neck, and his skull crushed in with
boots and brick bats. Tho police wero called
Fire Department then was ordered to throw
water on the rioters; but tho mob attacked
them and badly wounded two fremen. Many
Chinamen were beaten. One was rescued by
tho police and tnken to jail which was i'm
mediately surrounded by mob OF about
1000. who hurrahed and yelled lynch tho
leper." The special police managed to keep
back tho crowd. The other mob remained
intact in the lower part Of the city. About
dark they were in entire control and mnrch-
ed,,from street tostreet. cutting Chinese houses
wheresoover they saw them, and assaultng
citizens. Many colorcd meu were knocked
down and beaten.
Special police have been sworn in to the
number nf 300. Tho Chinese population
here cannot exceed 1900, ull told, and from
the beginning Of this disgraceful riot not n
single incident is reported Of any Of them
having resisted tho onslaught.
Later.-At this time. l.30, everything is
quiet, the mob having dispersed, but largo
police force is patrolling the streets. and
mill in is ready for action at minutes no-
tice. All tho saloons are closed with orders
to remain so until after tho election. The
rutcrs guttcd every Chinese house in town
with two or three exceptions. One China"
man was hanged over his front door, and
several were buddy beaten and wounded with
stones and other missiles. In nearly every
instance tho police rescued the Cinnamon
through the back donr, while the mob were
furcing the front door open. Four or five
rioters were slightly wounded, and one scri-
ously, he having been shot in the right
side
The active response of citizens to tho call

and by midnight a very rcrccptible improve

miscreants raised disturbance near the
postofice. but within ten minutes it was csli-
mated that | 900 citizens nearly all armed,
were on the ground and all the rioters at that
point were arrested and sent 70 Jail. Several
hundred warrants have been sworn out by
officers, and between 200 and 800 arrests
have been made. The city is now consider

The Latest Election News.

New York, November 2-The outlook is
that Hancock will not carry n single North

less than 10000, and possibly $4,000.
Maine has fallen into regular line, and New
England increases her Republican maiorities

tent cannot be estimated further than TO saw
that tho House will be Republican in all

Congressional gains would be made in the
South and much money was sent there to
influence the result. The result excites little
surprise here, as !. has been known for sevco
raj weeks that the Democrats had not even q
fighting chance. The city is ablaze with
Republican publications.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 2--Great surprise
is manifested here to night as the returns of the
election are received in this city and State. The
Democracy had hoped for success against the
intimidation Of working men and innumerable
repeaters who were distributed throughout the
States. The bulldozing Of the honest toilcrs
was more successful, however, and capitalists

IMMIGRATIoN.-The unprecedented
number of 1892 immigrants landed
at New York port during the six
months ending July /, and over
100000 arrived during that time at
the various ports of the country.
The number arrived here during the
year ended July 1st is 2S3, 726.
The most remarkable and gratifying
fact in regard to this new tide of i'm
migration is that a majority ofthe I'M
migrants are in much better circum-
stances than has been the case in years
past, and that there is a decided desire
on the part of most of them to push to
the far West and begin active work ON
the broad plains awaiting the husband
mans hand. These immigrants, it is
estimated, have brought between $50,
600, 600 and S30,O00,O00 actual cash
into the country, and at once become
a benefit to the country as large Gus
toners for lumber, building material,
house-furnishing goods, agricultural
implements. stock, seeds, and many
other articles of necessity.-Ib'd

A short paragraph was published a few days

the Yacht Club at st. Petersburgh. The
Berlin and Vienna papers give various reports
of the occurrence. According to them. the
losses during a few days amounted 10 10 mil
lions of francs. The stakes played for were
never less than 1000 roubles (9loO). III"
loser of the eight millions Of francs was
Prince Demidoff, the same whose sale OF the
collections at San Donate drew together lately
so many of the art-conn oisseurs OF the world.
The winner was Color mel Count Schouvaloff,
a connection of the late Russian Ambassador
in England. The sensational reports OF the
high play at the club attracted the attention
of Count Loris Melikof. the Governor of ~.
Petersburg, who referred the matter to the
Gar. proposing to CLOSE the cl ub. But some
of the Imperial family interviewed, and the
Gar contented himself with srmmoning the
winner before him, and, having inquired INTO

the naturalization treaty concluded

The digest published in the semi

ever, is not as Ineligible as might
be desired. Persons of German
origin who have lived five years III

as having nothing TO do with German
laws, even if they return to Germany

lived in Germany for two years,

be treated as having no nationality.
During the two years in which these
persons will be treated as American

not be looked upon as sufficient.

TRINIDAD.

The imports of this fine colony
for the first half of the present year
amounted to nearly six millions of
dollars, and the exports to over seven
millions. The weather had been
showerv, and in the middle of last
month there were heavy rains accom-

Governor Irving was to leave by
the mail Of Tuesday the 9th ult.,
and his administration is reviewed
favourablybytho Chronicle, while some
defects in it, as we'll as in the retiring
Governors personal qualities, are
pointed out. The improvements
made by Mr.. Irving were chiefly in
the post office, customs, and police
departments. Among the things in
which Trinidad is yet behind, the
Chronicle names "central factories on
the French plan to buy canes from the
surrounding gr0meyS."
ANTIGUA.
There is nothing Of importance
from this colony. The Weekly Regis
ter gives the following notice of a
cricket match and a ball which fol-
lowed.
1.-The match at cricket played last
week between St. Kits and Antigua,
the latter being the challengers, was
easily won by the former-in fact the
Antigua c. G. was very badly beaten;
SO much so that the Kittifonians were
led to shew some departure from the
ordinary rules governing the deport-
ment of conquerors in the presence of
the fairly vanquished; it is said the
cred flag of defiance" with sundry
indications of want of courtesy to the
members of the A. G. G.. were exhi-
bited from the hotel occupied by
several of the St. Kits club. Good
breeding, they say, is a quality far
beyond good-cricketing.
The ball given on Friday evening
at the Court House in honor of this
cricket match reflects the greatest Gre

of the details the decorations, and

"The rain, with little intermission

look quite vigorous, and promise to
