in the city and was walking home in
company with j. A. Hayward. When

down and beaten by the roughs, who.
while they were engaged in the brutal
outrage, were declaring he should neV-
er conduct another republican meet
ing, or be governor OF Ohio. The gang
mades its escape and General Bush
nell was carried to his residence. His
surgeon prOnounceS him dangerously
hurt. He is terribly cut about the
head and face, several of his teeth are
knocked out and he is badly bruised.
1t is yet too soon to predict what the
result of the injuries may be. The po-

morning was Governor Foraker. who

sault. The governor manifested the
most genuine Solieitude and is greatly
incenSed and worried about the mat
ter.
In the afternoon two well known
roughs, Barney Bray and Thomas Cole
and Jailed. The evidence that they
were the direct asSailants of General
Bushnell is strong. The republican
central committee offers reward OF
81 COO for the arrest and conviction
of the persons engaged in the assault,
and the city and county Will follow
with a reward of 81 600 each. Tele-
grams expressive of sympathy have all

The necessity of keeping interpreters
at either port depends on the trade OF

on the Eve Of Presidential Election

ceeded those of last year 10 1-2 Fer
cent, the clearings Of last year having
been exceptionally large, proves that
the volume of legitimate business is
unprecedented. for only part of the
increase can be attributed to excess of
speculative operations. In stocks the
sales here have been only about .1OO,-
600 shares for the week In
wheat about SO 100000 bushels. In
cotton about $50, 600 bales and in other
markets rather smaller than usual. Re
ports indicate a marked Improvement
in the volume of trade at Nashville,
Memphis and Detroit and satisfac-
tory business at nearly all other cities
but at Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
Kansas City, the prevailing quiet Is al
tributed to political excitement. A
shade of Stringency in money IS noted
at st. Paul and an active demand at
Kansas City, with some doubt about
business prospects in western Kansas
which leads to caution in dealings
with that section. Improvement In
| collections is noticed at southwestern
and northwestern centres.
In the iron business though the sales
| in October are thought to have consid-
erably exceeded, other transactions OF
considerable magnitude are Eoted In

The wool market is firm. the dry

LONDON, Nov. 2.-The Star, O'Con-
ner's paper, says: Lord Salisbury is not
likely to listen to the demand for the
dismissal of Mr.. Phelps, United States
minister, in retaliation for Americas
treatment of Lord SackvilIe. Such a
step might do much harm and could do
no good. All are agreed, it says, that
Mr.. Bayard 8 courtesy is scant, but we
must not forget that he is technically
right. Lord Sackville,s indiscretion
warrants a demand for his recall
IF Lord Salisbury's reply to the de-
mand amounted to refusal there is a
good deal more to be said for the action
of America than Englishmen are lust
now inclined to omit.
