The Rioters Worsted,

PENpLEToN, 0gn. Jan. l2-This
morning the military drove the mob
from the reservation. About one hun
dred and fifty of the rioters started down
the track towards Umatila. The ring
leaders boldly declared that the next
train would not be permitted to reach
Portland unless it carried them. The
railroad company feared that obstruc-
tions would be placed on the track or
that the rails would be torn up. The
train left here on time. At 3 P. NJ. it
passed the mob in two squads of about
seventy each. The track was not dis
turbed The train reached Umatilla on
time. The company still expected that
the line would be tampered with on
some of the high trestles or sharp curves
and every train will be run slowly and
under full control. Everything was
quiet in the city at P. NJ.

NExICo November 2l.-The discussion
of the bill converting the English debt and
allowing large commission to the manag-
ers of the funding operations has caused
such indignation among the people that
riots have been of nightly occurrence. The
debates in The chamber have been very ex-
citing. The federal troops are in constant
readiness to suppress disorder, and this adds
to the anger Of the people. The attitude OF
Diaz, who is soon to be sworn in as presi-
dent is eagerly questioned. A crowd sur
rounded his house night before last and
made speeches urging him to disspprove the
bill 1t was afterward learned that he was
not at home. The house yesterday after
noon postponed the bill until after Diaz's
installation. This action was hailed with
tremendous applause by the crowds in the
galleries. Meauwh lille riot was in progress
outside the chamber. The troops charged
ON the people with swords, striking only with
the fat side. A son of President Gonzales
commanded the cavalry. The contest
lasted ten minutes, when Gouzal IS life
seemed to be In danger. The guards massed
and, charging upon the crowd, rescu ID him
and dispersed his assailsnts. 1t is believed
the people will quiet down now, they haviug
confidence in DiaZ.

Governor Cleveland States His Position on
the Race Question.
ALBANY, n. Y, November 2l.-Governor
Cleveland was asked BY an Associated
Press reporter If he was aware OF delusion
existing among colored people Of the South
that change in the administration would
untavorably affect their condition, to which
he replied:
'Yes, / have been astonished at the state
ment that there was an apprehension exist
ing among the colored people that in some
way their rights, now secured to them under
the laws and constitution Of the United
States, were in danger from the elec.
ton of a Democratic President. !
am even told that some Of them
are led to suppose that the result Of
the recent election means that they may
again be made slaves. All Of this has ap-
peared to me to be so absurd, and have
been so sure that the slightest intelligent
reflection would dislodge such foolish fears,
that 1 can hardly deem any notice Of
them necessary. But there is not
the slightest objection to calling the
attention of all who are in the
least uneasy or uncertain upon this subject
to the fact that the title Of colored people to
freedom and all the rights OF citizenship
cannot be disturbed except BY change in
the constitution, which it would be abso-
lutely impossible to make. Beside the
present condition or status of these
people has been so fully accepted
by the entire country that no one
should have the slightest idea that any
attempt will be made to change it, if there
was any possibility of accomplishing such a
thing. So far as the new administration is
releated to this subject, the whole country
can be sure that the lawful power and juris-
diction of the executive will be so exercised
that the rights of all citizens, white or black,
under the constitution and the laws,
vii! be preserved and protected and all the
advantages to which they are entitled 5J
reason OF their citizenship will be securedto
them. There need be no fear that eiher the
Democratic party orlts newly elected admin
istration proposes TO oppress or ens!ave any
part OF our population nor to destroy the
business interests Of the country. We hope
IN the other hand TO do something 10 bene-
it the people. 1t seems to me that our eff
:orts in that direction would be added il
mschievious croaking and dark imaginings
should give place TO an earnest endaavor to
aspire confidence and to make universal
he erful hope for the future

THE CHICAGO MUDDLE.
WrangIing Over the Returns That
Elect
A DEMOCRATIC u. $. SENATOR
The United States District Court Grand
lury Takes a Haad in
the Matter
AND ORDER AN INVESTIGATION.

CHICAGO, November 2l-Some days ago
it was announced in these dispatches that
Brand, Democrat, according to the returns
to the canvassing board, was elected to the
State Senate from the Sixth district instead
of Lemon, Republican, who had a majority
according to the police returns, thus giving
the Democrats q majority in the State
Legislature on joint ballot and the power
to elect a United States Senator
20 succeed Logan. The difference was
found to be in the second precinct Of the
Eighteenth ward The police returns gave
Lemsn 420, Brand pa. The returns to
the canvaSsing board gave Lemsu 220,
Brand pa. This making change Of 400
in favor OF Brand and giving him major
ity of 10. The figures on the tally sheet
seemed to be the original figures,
showing no sign of eraSnre, but the figures
in the poll book appeared to have originally
stood as in the return to the police, but
subsequently erased and made to CORE
spond with the tally sheet On behalf of
Brsnd it was stated that the original entry
in the poll book was clerical error, On
behalf Of Lemsn, who claimed the
returns had been tampered with,
it was shown that in thus precinct
tie Republican candidate for president
ard Governor received $50 and 4O5 respec-
lively, while the Democratic candidate for
those Offices received 2SS and PSI, and
argued that it was impossible that such a
large falling off should have occurred in his
(Lemans) vote. The matters of calling on
the judges to appear and testify and
the power of the canYassing board to 20
into the matter has been under considera-
tion since, and the decision is set for to
morrow afternoon.
This afternoon the United States District
Attorney presented the matter to the United
States Grand Jury, and the Republican
Judge in that precinct, the Supervisors OF
election, and members of the Canvassing
Board were summoned to appear forthwith
The board was also ordered to bring the
ballot box and returns for that
precinct. The county clerk, in
whose charge the ballot box is, appeared
With the others and stated that by the ad-
vice of his counsel he declined to bring the
ballot box. That part of the order was
warned for the time being and the clerk sent
for the returns. He did not come back
and the Grand Jury finally adjourned with
orders that all parties be brought before
that body tomorrow morning. In the
meantime squad of police is guarding the
ballot box.

Fact.
QrEnEC, November 2l.-The/ statement
that the vast lake in the northeastern ter
ritOry is amyth, is untrue. The expedi-
ton sent in June to search for the lake has
returned. One ofthe party F. II. Bignell,
says that the lake stretches from Foam bay,
southwest to northeast towards Maine. No
one at the Hudson Bay companys post
could give its dimensions. Mr.. Bingell ex-
plored the lake l2O miles from where the
Rupert river emptes into it. 1t would be
more correct to say that the lake appears to
be widening out of the river. as the west
ern lakes are an expansion Of the st. Law
renee. When he stopped he had not fully
reached the body of the lake. He judges it
is as large as Lake Superior. 1t abounds
in fish and game, There is a degraded race
Of Indians living on its borders. The Hud-
son Bay Company are said to have CON
cealed the existance Of the lake for 100
