Republicans Preparing to Carry the
State by Illegal Methods.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee here has
been warned by correspondents in Cali
fornia of a contemplated election fraud in
San Francisco. The registration lists in
that city have been swollen enormously,
exceeding by 20 per cent. all the estimates
of increase from natural causes. In fact,
it has been generally held that the pOpu-
lation of the city was nearly stationary,
and only a small increase, if any, was
expected. The result of the registration
Slows, however, an increase of over
5000 names. The President of the
Board of Registration called the
attention of the members to the eXtraOr-
binary increase, and asked if any eX-
PLANTATION could be given for il, but OBJ
tanned no reply. Many respectable citi-
zens believe that an enormous fraud is to
be perpetrated by the Republican mana
gers which is to make good the confident
claims of Blaine managers to great Re-
publican majority in the State, and at the
same time sweep into power in the city
an irresponsible and unworthy city ticket.

THE SUGAR INDUSTRY.

Prof. Wiley Reports More Favorable
Season in the North than Last Year.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-From advance
sheets of the report of Prof. H. w. Wiley,
Chemist of the Department of Agricul-
ture, the following facts, relating to the
Northern sugar industry are taken:
SOr0hUm.-The season has been more favor
able than the preceding one and the yield of
sugar greater, nevertheless the total yield of
the year is not likely to exceed l,500,000
pounds. The yield of syrup is about the same
as last year, viz: 10000, 900 gallons. There is
coming an important factor in the markets of
the country.
Sugar Beet.-Sugar beet continues to pros
per IN California. The factory al AlvardO
had q good season and MADE large quantity
of sugar. This Is now the only beet sugar
factory in the United States. The outlook is
more hopeful for sugar beet than for sorghum
The department, however, is hopeful of the
final success of both.
Louisiana Cdne.-The department has estab-
llshed laboratory in Louisiana TO study the
chemistry OF sugar manufacture, it being
thought that planters may receive much helm
and many valuable Suggestions from careful
chemical supervision OF the different processes
of manufacture.
The crisis In the sugar industry of the world
Prof. Wiley saye, is felt with peculiar eject
in this country. New methods Of manufac-
ture VIII have 20 he introduced If prices re-
main as they are OF the sugar industry of the
country Will languish. The yield in Louis
lana inis season will probably be below the
AVERAGE.

Franco-ohineae a frairs.

LONDON, Oct. 29-Oficial adVices from
Pekin have reached the Chinese Embassy
and have been communicated to Earl
Granville, the British Secretary of Foreign
Affairs, which state that the Chinese
Government is averse to any mediation
between that country and France.
Rumors have reached here, via Shang-
hair, that a severe type of cholera is
spreading through the French squadron
under Admiral Courbet, now blockading
Formosa.
The Paris GGal0iS states shaE Admiral
Courbet has forwarded a dispatch to Ad-
miral feyron, Minister of Marine, in
which he describes in the darkest colors
the sanitary condition of his men, and ex-
presses fear that he will be compelled to
abandon the attempt to occupy Tamsui in
which event the Admiral would have two
vessels to blockade that port.

hepuDucans LOOK upon Hts Doctrines

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The Blaine Re-
publicans do not like the appointment of
Secretary McCulloch. They say very
truthfully that on the tariff question he
is as much of a free trader as Cleveland,
and his appointment seems to take the
edge off of Blaine's protection argument.
The President simply smiles. Secretary
McCullOch's tariff views are not distaste-
ful to him.
The commission of Mr.. McCulloch was
signed by President Arthur yesterday
afternoon, and mailed to Raritan, n. j.,
to be cOuntersigned by the Secretary of
State. Consequently it can hardly be re-
celved by McCullOch before this evening
or tomorrow morning, and as he cannot
qualify before he receives his commits
sion, he will not enter upon
the discharge of his duties as Secretary
before tomorrow. He paid short visit
to the Treasury Department this morning,
and conversed with Secretary Gresham
on the affairs of the department. While
Judge Gresham is nOminally Secretary of
the Treasury, to-day he is not acting as
such. The mail is being signed by Assist
ant Secretary French as Acting Secretary.
Gen. Gresham will remain in Washing
ton for few days to close up his private
affairs, and will take his seat upon the
bench in Chicago about the middle of
next week

grass pike. anu the long dry spell has left
the water quite low. When discovered
the dog was pointing at something in the
water, and suddenly thrust his head be-
meath the surface. When he withdrew it
he held in his mouth large catfish. He
came ashore with it and laid it on the
bank, where he had already deposited four
others. He then went back, and in short
time had captured three grass pike in the
same manner. Since then Duke will fish
whenever ne ie permitted to, and is al
ways eager to get into the water and ex-
eroise his skill.

A HERO KILLED ATA FIRE
CHICAGO THE SCENE OF A
THRILLING CONFEDERATION

Having Led all His HandslntO Safety the
Foreman Returns to Make sare that
None were Left Behind-Cut off bv the
Flames He Attempts to Descend by a
Rope which Breaks and He is Dashed
to Pieces-Other Fires.
CHICAGO, Oct. ga large brick build
ing situated on the southeast corner of
La Sale and Michigan streets, the lower
floors of which were occupied by hide
dealers and the upper part by Fishers
cigar box factory, caught fire about noon
and was completely gutted. One man
was killed by jumping from a window
and two others were smOthered on the
stairs. Factory girls on the upper floors
escaped with the greatest difficulty. The
loss will reach 100000. The building
was owned by Mr.. Culver, of Culver,
Page & Hayne, and was five-story struc-
ture occupied by Schnabel & Co., barbed
wire manufacturers, the Campbell Print
ing Press Company, Danheizen Bros,
chewing gum manufacturers, and w. E.

shop, James Carr, got all of the 81 souls
together in good order and coolly led them
to the fire-proOf stairs and safely to the
ground.
CARR DASHED TO PIECES.
Troubled with doubt as to whether
any were left behind, Carr quickly
returned to the fifth story, but re-
mained a few moments too late.
The flames cut off every avenue of
escape. He hurried to the roof, and amid
wild excitement of thousands of people
he was thrown rope from building on
the opposite side OF the street. and MAX
ing the line fast he commenced his peril
GUS descent, while the fremen held a
heavy tarpaulin beneath as a precaution.
Suddenly the rope snapped under the
mans weight or was burned by burst of
flames, and Carr's body shot downward
headfOremOst, and to the horror of the
crowd of people went directly through the
tarpaulin and he was picked up from the
street with his neck broken and mangled
almost beyond recognition. Another
thrilling scene was taking place at the
fire escape from the chewing gum factory.
Eighteen young girls, panic stricken,
came down pellmell, and when % feet of
the ground the last eight jumped to the
pavement, falling in a confused heap.
Fortunately only three of them were Sc
riously Injured. They received painful
cuts and bruises.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. 29.-The Pres
