RUSSIAN DUPLICITY.
Conspirators Arrested, and One
Makes Confession.
The Roumelian Revolt Engineered at St.
Petersburg.

Y LONDON, November Ga Belgrade dis
patch states that one of the men arrested
for completely in the conspiracy against
King Milan has made confession, in
which he declares If the plot toplace Prince
Karageorgovitch on the Servian throne had
succeeded the Prince intended to admin
dster the Government entirely in the inter-
est of Russia. This was to have been the
Hrst step toward Russian dominance IN all
the Slav States of the Balkan Peninsula. At
the same moment of the receipt of this
information dispatches came from Con-
stantinople showing that the Porte had
made known TO the British Embassador its
reasons for believing that the Roumelian
revolt was originally fomented in Russia,
though Prince Alexander by a eacher-
Gus movement has temporarily secured
for himself the advantage of it. Ac-
cording to the Porte's advices Russia in
tended to make the prearranged re-
volt the excuse for bringing about another
war with Turkey, with the object of secur-
ing control of the Balkan States. The SIM
ultaneous announcement of this rumor
from Belgrade and, ,Constantinople, the two
sources of information being apparently
quite independent of each other, seems to
give weight to the story. The already
strained relations between Austria and
Russia are not likely to be made more
amia BILE by the publication of these evil
dences of Russian designs upon provinces
which Austria secretly regards as her le-
gitimate future prey.

PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH.
Its Industrial Activities Greater Now Than
Ever Before.

Ever Before.
The increase of manufacturing enter
prises in the South is remarkable. The
new enterprises organized during the
first nine months of the present year,
taken together with the enlargement of
old plants, will employ an aggregate
capital OF $52. 1856, 800. In this list Ken
lucky leads off, with capital of S14,-
OO5, 900. West Virginia comes second,
with 1854, 600; Maryland third, with
Sc, 107,S 800, and Alabama fourth, with
S5,S64, 900.
growth of the South -hus- beer,
marvellous for the past five years. The
increase in railroad mileage since 1879
is 900 miles. The assessed value of
the property of the South, not includ-
ing the large capital invested in manu-
featuring enterprises, which is chiefly
exempt from taxation, has increased
S900,000,000. The production of corn
has increased fifty per cent. in that
time, and that of oats seventy. In cot
ton mills the gain has been hundred
per cent, and in cotton seed oil mills
two hundred and fifty per cent A like
increase has been made in the produc-
ton of coal and pig iron.
These specimen facts, illustrative of
the industrial activity OF the South dur
ing the last five years, which activity is
greater at the present time then ever.
shows that the war is over in that Sec
ton. whatever Northern politicians
may claim to the contrary. The South
has quit fighting and gone to work, and
at the rate it has been making progress
during the last five years it promises to
become as prosperous as its great
natural resources will allow, which will
be very prosperous indeed. Every gen.
uine friend of the Union will rejoice al
these unmistakable evidences that the
South is at last on the high road to the
development of its great possibilities.

Natural Gas Wells FaiIina.

: ToLoNo, ILL, November 6.-The natural
gas wells of Tolopo are gradually failing,
and no new ones have been discovered for
a year. The most noted of all these wells,
owned by II. c. Smith, and used for several
years for lighting and heating purposes at
his residence, is becoming almost worth
less, the supply of gas being inadequate
for the uses 1t formerly subserved. Another,

Partisan Issues.

The last words of General Grant were
an appeal for peace between the Sec
tons and an expression of qualification
that in his opinion peace had been Sc
cured; and in his note to General Buck
ner he spoke with emphasis against
men, like Sherman and Foraker, who
warmed up to the war after it was all
over" These Shermans and Forakers
have no Southern outrages to complain
of at this moment. Not word has
been heard of Southern outrages
throughout this campaign. It's shown
by Republican evidence, on the con-
trary, that the black men of the South
are fairly treated. and that if they do
not all vote the Republican ticket it is
because they have ceased to respect it
and because they have ac luired conf
dence in the Democratic party. 1t ap-
pears, therefore, that the Shermans and
Forakers are declaring against the hon.
est Southern vote for purely partisan
purposes and are putting forward false
issues with the campaign of 1888 in
view.-M Y Graphic.

A SENATORIAL OPPOSITION.
A "Dog-in-the-Manger"P Policy Not Likely
to Succeed.

A "Dog-in-the-Manger"P Policy Not Likely
to Succeed.
The reported determination of several
of the more Stalwart order of Repub-
lican Senators to demand from the
President full and clear reasons for re-
moval in the case of each Presidential
postmaster is not likely to count for
much by the time Congress meets.
Already there are well nigh three
hundred cases of this kind, which will
probably be swelled TO something like
five hundred by the 9TH of December.
The physical labor of critically exam
in;ng so many cases is rather greater
than the Senate will care to undertake.
This is especially true when opposi-
ton or even rejection will be pow
erless to restore the removed post
masters to their places. Whatever is
done some appointee of President Cleve-
land is sure to hold the Office and this.
of itself, takes away much of the spirit
of Senators. They have been so used
to fighting for spoils that they are not
likely to enter a contest just for the fun
of the thing.
Then it must be remembered that
there are several Republican Senators
who can not be trusted to take part in
such fight. Some of these developed
their opposition to mere nagging
policy in the Senatorial caucus at the
extra session and there is no reason to
believe that they hare seen any new
light since. 1t will be well for Hoar.
Conger and Cullom to get the consent
of their fellow Senators of this per-
suasion before they make up their
minds to adopt the dog-in-the-manger
policy. - Philadelphia Times.

day by an explosion of blasting powder.
Thirty feet down they struck granite, and

an explosion followed, when the two bodies

other body shot straight up in the air and

wards to turn their attention to
the enormous frauds in the wards
where the Republicans hold un-
disputed sway; and it is not too late
for them to denounce the Re-
publican County Convention, which was
so corrupt that the police had to stand
between the delegates and candidates
to prevent repetition, on the second
day of the meeting, of the most dis
graceful performances that ever charac-
terized politics in this county.
There is yet time though its force
will be rather weakened by delay-to
deliver hot shot at the displacement of
the legally elected delegates to
tho Republican City Convention of
last spring, and the substitution of ward
bummers, who, for mere pay, NOM
mated ticket which was elected by
fragrant fraud. Above all, righteous
Indignation at the outrages and mur-
ders which were committed in behalf
of the Republican ticket in October,
1884, should find vent even at this late
date. Bummers, ignorant loafers,
thieves and murderers were sworn in
by hundreds as United States Deputy
Marshals and commended to disturb
the peace instead OF keep it. Not half
of them could write their own names to
receipts for their pay for terrorizing
peaceable citizens. The majority OF
them were thieves, even stealing the
revolvers with which the United States
Marshal had armed them. Men were
murdered by these Deputy Marshals.

let us have thunders of it all round. II
the people are to be piously lectured to
on the subject of elections, let the texts
be selected. If the city is to be adver-
tised as the home of corruption, let the

They VIII Not Sell.

MUsKoGEE, L. T., Nov. 5. The Creeks
have decided not to sell Oklahoma at any
price. Last summer there was wish to
get the sentiment of all the tribes on the
subject, and a council was called at Eu-
faula, and it was then decided it would
not be best to sell. On Tuesday this
action was brought up for ratification
by the Creek council. The bill quietly
passed the House of Kings but when it
came to the House of Warriors it hung fire.
A vote was finally taken, which stood AZ to
sell and AZ to hold, when the Speaker, Tom
Adams, cast the deciding ballot in favor of
retaining. Consequently the boomers will
have to stay out.
