THE FIFTH JR. 0. 0. A. N. PARADE.
The Big Washington Birthday Rvent-A
Meeting Of the COmmittee-DiscussiOn Of

The Big Washington Birthday Kvent-A
Meeting Of the Observation-Disclosures Of
Routes.
The American Mechanics committee ap-
pointed to make arrangements for the Wash
ington Birthday parade met last night in
the hall at the corner Of Second avenue and
Grant street, and organized by electing
George B. Nesbit, Of the West End, as
Chairman, and Harry R. Peck, of the old
city, as Secretary. 1t was decided to have
three divisions, as heretofore-the ALE
gheny, Pittsburg and Southside.
A motion was made that the parade be on
the Southside this year, as Allegheny has
had it for the last two years and the Old
City has always had q portion of the route.
The motion was the subject of considerable
discussion, and it was finally laid over until
the next meeting.
1t was decided to appoint three division
committees to make arrangements for the DIFF
ferent divisions. A. L. Solomon was designat-
ed as Chairman of the Allegheny committee;
Daniel G. Evans, Pittsburg, and A. w.
Rosslter, Southside. The representatives to
the General Committee from the various
sections will form the committees for the
respective districts and their number will
be increased by two additional delegates
from each council.
The indications are that the parade will
be the largest ever held by the Mechanics.
Invitations will be sent to every council in
the western part of this State, Eastern Ohio
and West Virginia to participate, and IL, 900
members are expected in line. This will be
the fifth parade of the order.

UNDER A DARK CLOUD.
Several Prominent Families Implicated In
Late English Scandal.

Late English Scandal.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.l
LONDON, November 9-Several of the
most distinguished families of England are
under the cloud of a scandal already re-
ferred to in these columns, so bideous as to
preclude the publication of the circum-
stances. So far as they may be touched
upon, these are that the police raided
a house in Fitzroy square, that has been
frequented by high officials in the army,
noblemen and others of elevated social
standing Their discoveries were such
that the active criminal prosecu-
tion of the offenders was begun,
but suddenly stopped. The reason was
that the names involved were of the most
influential men in the kingdom, and it is
even hinted prince of the blood royal is
implicated. The result is that there has
been an exodus from England of several
noblemen and gentlemen who have pre-
viously stood highest in English society.
Lord Arthur Somerset, who resigned his
commission in the Guards this week in con-
sequence of this scandal, this afternoon re,
signed his position as equerry in the Prince
of Wales household Albert Victor's sud-
den trip to India is said to he not uneon-
nected with the discoveries made by
the police in Fitzroy square. The Earl of
Euston and Lord Beaumont have also gone
abroad, probably for their country's good.
1t is rumored that Chief Commissioner of
Police Munroe has threatened to resign in
consequence of interference by higher
powers in his prosecution of the men i'm
plicated in this scandal.

Frederick Warde was to play Richard III
in Nashville, Tenn, that night. Mr..
Charles Il. Keeshin, his advance manager.
and Mr.. Nilsson, the manager of the thea

'Mr. Warde never plays Richard" said
Keeshin, ''that do not think Of criti-
cism OF the play which once overheard in
o Baltimore cafe after the performance. Two
young fellows sat at the next table. Said
one Of them:
That play is rot II Is perfectly absurd
to make a man spend 50 much time and
murder so many people for the purpose of
getting kingdom and then have hmm offer
to trade it of for horse. -
Just then party Of loggers who had come
down the river from the Tennessee timber
country bought tickets and went in. The
curtain went MP and in a few minutes the
loggers came back and demanded the return

"Whst is the matter2" asked Mr.. Nilsson.
"Well, said one Of the party, "we didn't
know that man Warde was cripple or we
wouldn't have gone in at all. We don't
want to see no burned cripple play King.

THE RESULT IN IOWA.

of the Campaign.

of the Campaign.
CHICAGO, November 9.-Mrs. J. Ellen
Foster, of Iowa, says the Republican defeat
in thai State is a pitiful illustration of pos
sible fuctuation of popular maiorities and
the lapse of legislative control when freemen
forget that eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty. "To the shame of Iowa, men,
she says, "be it recorded that 10000 votes
stayed away from the polls. They had no
realizations of the dangers. Farmers stood
in the fields and picked their corn; mer-
chants attended to their sales while the
cohorts of the saloon made their brutal
assault upon Iowa homes. We also lost
hundreds of votes of Methodist preachers
by change of residence. Republican ma
jorities have been steadily depleted since
the party accepted the verdict of the people
for Constitutional prohibition. The liquor
sympathizers, who followed the Republican
party before this issue was Joined, have
sloughed of and found their level in the
swamps of Democracy. Also, Iowa has
given much of its best blood to the grand,
new Dakotas, who have just made splendid
records for RepubIicanism and progress.
''Let no one say, however, that the RePub-
lican party lacked wisdom in espouslng the
prohibition issues. The party would have
gone down long ago if it had refused to
follow the peoples clearly expressed will.
Growth is expensive. Reforms in society
always imperif the existing order OF things.
Prohibition was not, however, the only
cause of the late political cyclone. The
transportation question was an active feat
ure, for the railroad legislation of the State
has created extended dissatisfaction, and
large numbers of Republican voters
stayed away from the polls or voted
for the Democratic nominee for
Governor. Do you ask what the result
will be- We shall save the prohibitory
law, and Senator Allison will be returned
to the United States Senate. The old lines
will be reformed, and Iowa will give an old
time Republican majority in 1892"

Gliding upon the chief bills to be
introduced. There is no doubt that these
will include an Irish land bill and bill
dealing with the title question in England:
The former has been reluctantly accepted
by the Tories as one OF the prices
of alliance with the Chamberlain
faction, and the latter is extended to moility
the Tory ehurchmen. There is reason to
believe that the Government will indeh-
nitely postpone taking action upon the
Irish Catholic University question, IN
consequence Of discomfort in their own
ranks, and doubts as to the support they
could command from the Radical Unionists
The attitude of the latter is just now caus-
ing serious anxiety to the ministers.
Chamberlain Is infur1ated at his soD's de-
feat in the municipal election at Birming-
ham, which he justly attributes to Tory
hatred of himself. Attempts have been
made this week to arrive at an understand
ing as to the seats which shall
be held by Tories and Unionists
respectively, but as Chamberlain, while
demanding concessions, will not bulge an
inch from his own position, no agreement
has been arrived at for the moment. The
dispute effects Birmingham only. but un-
less speedily settled it viii spread to all the
constituencies, and may have most impor-
tant influence upon the political situation.

ESPECIAL TKLEeRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
BALTIMORE, November g. - Louden
county, Virginia, is threatened with race
war which, from present indications, Will
result in bloodshed. The negroes are wild
over the lynchlng of Owen Anderson, a
young negro, who had assaulted Miss Annie
ToIliver, the young daughter of a leading
Democrat at Leesburg. and they vow ven
geance. Searching parties soon found An
derson, and he was taken to Jail In Lees
burg and charged with an assault, for which
the penalty is the same as that for murder
in this State.
When 1t became known that Miss Tolli-
ver's life was despsired OF, the citizens Of
Round Hill then determined to lynch An
derson, and about 80 of them went to Lees
burg at midnight, overpowered the .jailer.
and after taking Anderson from his cell
and hearing his confession, hanged him to
derrick which stood in front OF a building
being erected in the center of the town. His
body was then riddled with bullets, and
placard was pinned to his shirt, which bore
the words:
The safety of our wives and daughters must
be secure, and all such negroes exterminated
WHITE CITIZENS OF VIRGINIA.
In Halifax county the negroes are also
raising Cain. During the campaign the
ignorant blacks of the country districts
were told by their leaders that they would
be plunged into slavery again if Malone
was defeated. They implicitly believed
this, and are organizing to intimidate the
whites. The outrages and attempts at as
sassination which have occurred since the
election are the undoubted outcome of this
feeling, and if race war does arise here the
bloodshed will lie at the doors of dema-
gogues who have stirred up the race hatred
of the blacks.

Legal Complications That

Legal Complications That
May Arise.
ESPECIAL TELKGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
BOSTON, November 9.-The Republicans
have in a measure recovered from the fright
caused by the close election ana to-day the
successful candidates on the State ticket
were entertained at Young's by the
Massachusetts, and Middlesex clubs. The
enthusiasm was somewhat forced, and
the congratulatory addresses were based
more upon the fact that they had pulled
through rather than upon the size OF their
plurality.
Recounts seem to give the Republicans
another Senator by one vote. The hrst re-
turns from the Fifth Essex Senatorial dis
trict gave the election to George u. Hart,
Democrat, but recount wipes out his lead
of 10 and gives B. f. Southwick, Repub-
lican, lead OF one. An othclal recount
OF the entire district has been demanded by
Mr.. Hart. In the Third Worcester Sena-
torial district Hon. Levi L. Whitney, Re
publican, is beaten by Charles Haggerty,
Democrat by Is votes. In this and other
close districts ballots were thrown out
that had the voters cross after the name
instead of after the political party to which
the candidate belonged. In the official bal
lot squares were prepared for the
cross after the political complex
ion of each candidate, and the voters
were instructed to mark only in those
squares. But many of them didn't follow
instructions, and as a result the Supreme
Court will have to decide as to the inten-
tions of the voters.
Already notices have been served by sew
eral defeated candidates that they will con-
test the seats of the lucky men. Both
branches of the Legislature will have their
hands full in deciding upon the merits
of the various cases. The Supreme Court
will have nothing to do with the
legislative squabble, but several county
officers have no other tribunal after they
take the matter out of the hands of the
selectmen of the various towns, The law
yers are all at sea over the possible legal
complications that may arise pending a
decision by the Supreme Court upon the
legal points involved,
