THE NAVASSA RIOTERS,
They Arrive in Baltimore and
are Immediately Arrested,
THE JAIL FILLED WITH THEM.
a Hundred aud Twepty,fouF Negroes
Have Warrants Served on Them,
A U, s, Marshal In Waiting
for Them Out in the Bay

BALTIMORE, Mn, Nov, l.-About one
o'clock this morning the United States
revenue cutter Ewing arrived In the
hsrbor, conveying. the brig Alice, which
arrived In the capea yesterday, with part
Of the Nayassa rioters. The Romance,
with the remaining rioters, was left
down the bay in charge Of the revenue
cutter Lot NJ, Morrill,, The prisoners
the Alice were lodged In the city Jail.
Between the hours Of Oand 10 yester.
day morning the Ewing lay in the yicin-
Ivy Of the capes. Among those on board,
in addition to the crew. were United
States District Attorney Thomas G.
Hayes, Deputy United States Marshal
LeGrand Cole and United States Com
missioner G. Morris Bond. In Mr.,
Hayes pocket were 1874 warrants chars-
ing a like number Of persons with a va.
rled assortment Of crimes, ranging from
murder to riot aud mutiuy, on the Guiana
Island Of Nayassa, on or about the l4th
day Of September last.
The long wait for tue brigs was very
tiresome and 1t was with great delight
that shortly before 10 o'clock the A lice
was sighted coming In. Captain Baker,
oi the Ewing, hailed the Alice and asked
II he wanted a tow. An affirmative an-
swer was Returned. The vessels were
then about six miles from Cape Henry,
and as Mr.. Hayes had no desire to delay
the brig until she was we'll within the
Jurisdiction OF Maryland, he aud Captain
Baker gave no sign OF their Intentions
to the negroes who crowded the decks.
The Ewing lowered boat and in u few
minutes had the Alice in tow. BY pre-
yious arrangement 1t was agreed that
Lieutenant Baldwin, Of the Lot NJ. Nor
rill, should await the arrival OF the Ro-
nance, which was supposed TO be close
behind. The Morrill, lay about two miles
east OF the Ewing and as the latter
steamed up the Chesapeake with the
Alice in tow the Morrill, pushed out TO
sea In quest OF the Romance.
When the Ewing reached Point Look.
out Capt. Baker hailed his tow. The
Ewlng's boat was launched and the Alice
was boarded by District Attorney Hayes,
United States Commissioner Bond, Dep.
uty Marshal Cole and Mr.. R0by, one Of
the surviving officers Of the NevAssa
Company, who was there to identify the
rioters. Mr.. Hayes requested the Cap.
tain OF tho Ewing to lay his bearings to
Point Lookout aud to bring each OF the
colored men into tho cabin separately
for tho purpose OF Identification. The
captain obeyed and Mr.. Roby identified
each as he stood before him. Commis.
sioner Bond filed ont thirtysone war.
rants on the oath Of Mr.. Roby, charging
murder and rioting, They were at once
served by Deputy Marshal Cole. These
thirty.one rioters were hustled into the
launch and placed OIL board the Ewing.
The remaining passengers OF the Alice
were, at the request Of MIR. Hayes, com
mitted as witnesses,

lleye an increased monthly coinage Is
among the immediatu possibilities, and

Very Peculiar Methods,

CoLUNBus, o., Nov, 1.-The boastful
ness around Democratic State headquar'
ters has measurably calmed down during
the last two days, while Republicans, on
the contrary, are increasing in cOnl'
dence. Revised Information from Ham
iIt6n county dashes Democratic hopes
to the ground, AT last the Democratic
managers have "got on to" II that the
registration in Cincinnati Is strongly in
favor Of the Republicans. Then the
corrected Democratic poll has just cut in
halves the original Democratic claim,
on which the ability Of Campbell to
carry the State by the skin Of
bis teeth was predicted. A. week
ago the Democrats figured 1t that
Campbell would carry Hamilton county
by from six to seven thousand. But
now they have come down 10 thirty
five hundred, The Republican poll, on
the contrary, shows that on the sure
Foraker and Campbell vote the former
ia by from seven 10 eight thousand
ahead, and Conoeding all the votes
marked as "doubtlul" to the Democrats,
Foraker will carry Hamilton county, or
at the worst that 1t will be a stand-of
there. In addition, there will be large
Democratic deieCtions from Campbell
and the Democratic candidates for the
Legislature from elements not consid'
cred at all by Lew Bernard aud his com,
mittee, Lew will be treated to several
surprises IN his hailiwiok, and certain
people are waiting quietly, but eagerly,
Tor election day, for the opportunity TO
give the gang another black eye.
All news received at Republican head
quarters from all over the State has been
Of tho most encouraging nature, and
there is not the slightest quiver Of ap.
prehension as to the election OF Foraker
and a Legislature Republican in both
branches. OF course the committees
are not serenely resting on their oars,
with the confidence OF victory,
but they are working all the harder TO
make victory douhly secure aud more
pronounced. 1t has been impossible
for the Democratic managers 10 efectu-
ally cork up their alarm ut the activity
aud confidence and enthusiasm OF the
Republicans, and their "inside" con.
victions as 10 the result have percolated
the leaking places Of the com-
lniltee. Tie election OF Foraker and q
q Republican HoGse, while not actually
conceded by the Democratic managers,
lre looked upon by them as probabilities
beyond prevention except by political
mirace; and now the supreme struggle,
aside from the endeayor 10 cut down
Foraker's inevitable majority TO as low
figure as possible, IS to secure Demo.
