LONDON, Oct. 30.-In the House of Com

ference with the freedom of political dis
cussion and justifying riot and disorders.

direct completely in the recent Astor
riots.
Mr.. Chamberlain, in replying to Lord
Churchill, said that he did not believe the
stories that the Liberals had hired roughs
to upset the Conservative meeting at
birmingham. He could not have pre-
vented the counter demonstration, and
would not if he could. He deeply re-
gretted the annoyance suffered by Sir
Stafford NOrthcote, who was a generous
opponent, and he promised that if he
visited Birmingham again he would have
a respectful hearing.
This evening vote was taken upon
Lord Randolph ChurchilPs amendment to
the address in reply to the speech from

Chamberlain. The amendment was re-

GOV. Albeit Looked to to Thwart Some
Kascally Plans.
TRENTON, Oct. 2S.-The closing week
of the canvass in New Jersey promises to
be full Of excitement. There has been for
some weeks a vague notion among Demo-
Gratis and Independent Republicans that
the managers of the Republican national
campaign will make desperate effort to
loosen the State from her Democratic
moorings. Neverln the history of the party
has the Republican State committee been
known to make so energetic and earnest
canvass as that which is being made
under the leadership of ex-senator Garret
A. Hobart. A significant circumstance
is the appointment of the Deputy
Marshals by United States Marshal
Deacon. The character of the ap-
pointees is the thing that has drawn
special attention to the new army of
officials with whom Marshal Deacon pro-
poses to man the polls. They are, with
out exception. taken from the ranks of
Democrats who are easily influenced, or
from among the bullies who are Republi-
cans. The State authorities are in con-
sultatiOn about the matter. Gov. Albeit
has the reputation of being a political
leader Of great nerve, and he is looked to
for the action or for the suggestion that
may defeat the attempt to stifle or over
come the lawful expression of the senti-
ment of the State.

TROUBLES OF WAGE WORKERS.

Fears of Violence at the Brake Coal
Mines in Alabama.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Oct. 30.-There has
been a long strike among the miners in
and around the Warrior coal field against
a reduction in the price of mining, which
has resulted in desperate feelings against
the coal operators.
Manager Clark, at the Brake mines, is
first to gain the reduction of 10 cents per
ton. Work was resumed at that place on
Oct. %, after being idle 81 days. A posse
of 250 men made their appearance on Col.
Brakes premises on the day work COM
menced and ordered the workingmen out,
who declined on account of an existing
contract signed by the committee
and half of the regular force.
Mr.. Clark, in charge, anticipates
further trouble and has equipped his
men with arms to protect themselves with
in case an attack is made. The Sheriff
has been advised to hold himself in readi-
ness to come with the Birmingham mill
tary should the indications mark out
dangerous intentions.
1t is supposed that the trouble will
eventually be settled upon the same basis
agreed to by The j. Brake Coal Company
and their miners, which ought to be en-
tirely satisfactory according to the pres
ent outlook of affairs.

tom in former years of addressing the
Democracy of Shelbyville, his old home,
during the last week of the campaign,
spoke there this evening. He had been
engaged for u barbecue on Sept. 20. but
cancelled it to visit Columbus, O.. much
to the regret Of his old constituency. The
meeting to-day was attended by 5000 per-
sons.
In his speech he c)unseled the Democracy
OF Shelby county TO close up their divided
ranks and sustain him once more by their
suhrages, as they had in the past. He told
the people that he wanted their votes, al
though some dudes charged that it was not
proper for him to ask for votes. The speech
proper was devoted to three propositions,
namely, that the tariff should be limited to
the needs Of the government; that the Repub-
lcan party by It's policy had driven our carry
ing trade from the ocean, reducing 1t from IS
per cent. to 10 per cent, and that the surplus
in the Treasury should be reduced.

Freeman, founder of a colored Repub-

on a charge of violating the election laws.
The District Attorney claims to have re-
ceived information that colonization was
being carried on in the Ninth Assembly
district. Two colOred detectives were
put on the case, and after a short time
found that the work of colonization was
being carried on by Freeman, hence his ar
rest. Freeman tried to get the detectives
to register as living in the district. At
tempting to induce men to register lille
gally is a felony under the present laws.
Joseph Sands (colored), Henry Solomon,
George o. Estricher and John Stephens
were also arrested on the same charge,
indictments having been found against
them by the grand jury. They were each
held in bail for trial. Freeman was at
one time attached to the District AttOr-
ney's office, and is now employed in the
Surrogate's office. Six arrests for illegal
registration were also made in this city
