A DEADLY FEUD.
Bloody Battle Fought at a Place OF
Sunday Worship.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 1O.-Laurel
Fork meeting house, in Whitmore county,
near Jellico, was the scene last Sunday
of terrible tragedy. 1t was collision
between the Rose and Fusion clans, be-
tween whom feud had existed for some
time. Just as the minister was announc-
ing his text, volley of fire arms was
discharged outside the door. The wor-
shippers were thrown into excitement,
and many women tainted. Outside the
battle ragged fiercely. When the smoke
cleared away it was found that Ewell
Cawson and his son John, belonging to
the Rose faction, were killed, and that
three of the Fusion boys, Tom, Jim and
Enos, and John Porter, belonging to the
other side, were seriously, and perhaps
fatally wounded. A dozen others, whose
names could not be ascertained, were
more or less seriously hurt. Great ex.
citement prevailed, and more trouble is
expected.

TAKE NO CHANCES.

Such Is the Treasury Orders to
Collectors at Pacific Ports Re-
garding the Landing of Chinese.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-A dispatch
received at the treasury department
to-day from Collector Hager, at San
Francisco, announced the arrival there
of steamer Bertha, from Kodiak Island.
Alaska. with ninety Chinese labOrers.
Collector Hager says it is claimed that
that these Chinese have not departed
from the United States and should be
landed. On the other hand, the collec-
tor holds that the voyage from Alaska
to San Francisco was departure and
return to the United States, and that
under section of the Chinese exclusion
law, their landing would be unlawful.
Assistant Secretary Maynard, in reply
to an appeal for ruling in the case,
telegraphed that IF the laborers in ques-
ton are residents of San Francisco and
went from there to Alaska on an Ameri-
can, which did not touch.at any foreign
port and sailed under the American
flag and have returned in the same man
ner, in the opinion of the department
they may be regarded as never having
departed from the United States; but
the proofs should be conclusive as not
to admit of Doubt Similar instruc-
tons were telegraphed to the collector
at Port Townsend, W. r., to govern the
landing or exclusion of the thirty
Chinese laborerS that arrived there
from Alaska on the steamer AncOn a

THE GREAT OBSTACLE.

WILLIAM J. CooMBs, a prominent
Republican of Brooklyn and the leading
| merchant of that city who has repudiated
the Chicago platform and candidates,
and will vote for CLEVELAND and THUR
MAN, says: 81 predict that if we have
wise legislation in the way of removing
burdens from the raw materials, and
III repeating laws which debauch our
Industries, the present generation will
live to see our ships bearing goods of
our own manufacture to every market
of the world" 1t would scarcely need
an argument to demonstrate the correct
ness of Mr.. CoOSIBs' statement. In
many lines of manufacturing we are
able now to compete with Europe in the
markets of the world Notwithstanding
the intended prohibitOry effect of exist
ing tariff laws. This is particularly
true of goods which require the most
labor and skill in their production, and
the reason for it is found in the differ
ence between the American mechanic
and the mechanics of other countries.
The American mechanic uses his brains
as well as his hands, and is always in
venting new ways for doing his work.
Thus, on account of our improvements
in machinery and the study of economy
in their production, we have been en-
abled IN some lines of manufactured
goods to overcome the difficulties which
the high tariff has placed in the way of
competing with foreign manufacturers
in the markets of the world;
But there is one article of American
manufacture which cannot be made to
surmount the obstruction of a high
tariff. and which cannot be introduced
into foreign markets until the duty is
ia ken off the raw material. We refer
to wooden goods. The abolition of the
duty on wool would give the American
trade an enormous impetus toward Sc
curing foOthOld for our wooden goods
in foreign markets, and, as is easily
demonstrated, would do more than all
other agencies combined toward restor-
ing our merchant marine.
We know how the expectation of
goods manufactured of leather increased
after the duty was removed from leather
in 1872. We know equally that a still
greater inspection would be given to
WOODEN manufacturers if the duty were
removed from the said material. But
the main point sustaining Mr.. CoOMBS'
proposition, relative TO the building up
of a merchant marine, is that free wool
would encourage the establishment of
American steam ship lines to all wool
producing countries. The difficulty of
doing that now is because we have no
return cargOes. As suggested by Mr..
CoOMBs, in the old times we used TO
charter vessel to take cargo of man.
ufactured goods to South America and
bring back a cargo of wool. In that way
the outward cargo went at a reasonable
freight, but now as a vessel can only he
chartered outward we have to pay
much higher freight. When the vessel
arrives at her destination she loads
with wool for England. The result is
that England gets the pick of vessels,
gets the cargo that ought to come here:
and, in fact, England becomes our bank
ing exchange. These are the logical re-
suits Of the high tariff. for, when our
shippers ship cargo of goods to South
America, to Africa, to Australia or to

MINNESOTA'S VOTE.
Why the North Star State May Be.
come Democratic.


Lake City Graphic-Sentinel
MinnesOta's total vote for president
in 1884 was 190,016, and its Republican
majority in round numbers 41,O6O. Her
total vote in 1886 for governor was 220,-
479. and its Republican majority ap-
proximately $500. Should the same
ratio of increase of total and decrease
of Republican majority continue in 1855,
the vote of the state in November will
be $50, 900. and Eugene Wilson will be
elected by majority of 43, 200 over Mr..
Merriam-Or will practically trade
places with Mr.. Blaine. This estimate
is based on actual returns. and though
no one predicts such result, the COM
parisOn is as fair as that made by Mr..
Blaine between the Maine vote of 1856
and that of 1888. 1t may also prove in

quiet now prevails. and it is not thought
that there will be any further strike.
The old employees are beginning to ac-

chance for them to make living
wages. The new men are said
to be giving satisfaction. Their

made on them. while the men are
boarded at the various car barns from

has been great pressure brought to bear
upon the management to have these

WASHINGTON, Oct, 1S.-The feature
of the senate proceedings to-day was the
passage of a resolution for an adjourn
ment of congress sine die Saturday at
o'clock. After the transaction of minor
business, Mr.. Allison's resolution for
recess from Saturday next to November
10, was taken up. Mr.. Paddock moved
to amend so as to make the time of the
recess from Oct. 81 to Nov. ~. Mr.. AL
lison said that he had consulted senators
OH both sides of the chamber, and he
thought the prevailing sentiment
was in favor of adjournment.
Mr.. Allison yielded the floor to Mr..
Brown, who offered all amendment to
the resolution of Mr.. Allison, making
the adjournment on Saturday final.
He said that if the Democrats were sue
cessful at the coming election, then bill
something like the Mills bill would I'M
doubtedly pass the senate; if the Re-
publican party was successful the
senate bill would be passed by congress.
He did not think prolOngatiOn of the
session would facilitate work on the bill.
Mr.. Evarts favored the amendment
of Mr.. Brown, but Mr.. Paddock said
that he thought his amendment ought
to prevail. Mir. Cockrell saw that Mr..
PaddOcks talk about passing the bill or
doing any business was
PERFECTLY FARCIAL.
If they wanted to pass the bill before
Nov q Democratic senators would stay
with them. but they did not. Some dis
cuSSiOn enSued as to the amount of time
noncumn6 hV fnn fin1n0a pnmmittap in
preparing its substitute. Finally Mr..
Allison said that he was willing to ac-
cept the amendment of MIR. Brown, and
the question was taken without .divi-
sion. resulting in the adoption of the
resolution as amended. A majority of
the Republicans present yeted against
the resolution, and majority of the
Democrats voted for it. Mr.. Teller Of
fered resolution inStructing the In
dian affairs committee to inquire as to
the truth of the report that the Secre-
tary of the interior has purchased
wagons for the Indian service that were
manufactured with prison labor in Ten
neSSee. Several resolutions OF minor
Importance were passed, among them
the resolution for the printing of 100000
copies of the agricultural report. MIR.
Edmunds, Mr.. Dawes and Mr.. Faux
ner were appointed members of the
joint committee to investigate the
Washington aqueduct tunnel work.
Mr.. Aldrich addressed the senate on
the tariff bill, and the discussion was
INDUCED in by Senators Frye, Teller
and GUSTS. At the close of the discus
sion, the house joint resolutions to pay
the seasonal employees of both houses
their full months salary for October,
and to pay the months salary of regu-
lar officers and employees on October
20, were severally passed. Mr. Allison
offered resolution authorizing the
finance committee to continue its in
vestigation into tariff matters. Laid
over until tomorrow. The senate,
then, at D. M, adjourned.
