The Issue in Arkansas.


The FIGHT which Powell Clayton is
making ON Hon. Clifton r. Breckin-
ridge is in every way indecent He has
declared that Breckenridge shall not be
elected" and has used the most incen-
diary language against him, coupled with
insinuations the most causeless, unjust
and base, all tending to put Mr.. Brock
ridge in danger of personal violence
from some partisan too ignorant and
brutal to understand the anlmus OF the
attack.
Clayton has been pretending for two
wears that there is Republican majority
in the district, and on the strength OF
this pretence he and Mcclure have
been denouncing the Democrats of Ar
kansas as ballot-boX suffers and crimi-
nails. Ii would seem that if he believed
what he has charged he would gladly en-
brace the opportunity to put Re
publican candidate in the field
against MIR. Breckenridge and SO
vote the Republican vote on party
lines. A Republican majority thus
demonstrated might do something
to support his charge that the majority
of the votes cast at the election which last
returned Mr.. Breckenridge to Congress
we're Republicans. But after making
these charges for two years and ringing
every change on them which the inge-
nuity of malice can devise, he has
abandoned them practically by refusing
to nominate a Republican at all. In
stead OF putting up Republican he has
found a candidate who is willing to serve
his purposes. though denying that he is
now or ever has been Republican.
No matter who such a candidate is, no
matter what party name he calls himself
by, he represents Claytonism. His
election would be an endorsement
of Clayton, of the worst element OF
the Republican party-of the Radicals
who when they had control before plum
dered Arkansas, who in the first session
of the Fifty-frst Congress passed the
Mckinley bill imposing higher taxes ON
every farming State in the Union who,
at the second session of the same Con-
eress, intend to pass the force bill that
the era of direct public plumber may be
inaugurated as it existed from 1868 to
1876.
Can any intelligent citizen in or ont
Of Arkansas disregard this warning. or
saw that it is mere campaign talk ?"
lis it not history?

One of the Alleged Assassins OF Chief
Hennessy shot Down in Prison.
fBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.l
NEW ORLEANS, October 17.-WhIle
the body of the late Chief-of-Police
David G. Hennessy lay in state at the
CITY Hall Antonio Scaflida, identified as
one of the assassins of Chief Hennessy,
was shot and MORALLY wounded IN the
parish prison by Thomas G. Duffy,
a brother of the ex-prize-tighter OF that
name. Duffy informed Deputy-Sherlif
Andry that he had called for the pur-.
pose of seeing one of the Dagos
arrested for the assassination OF
Chief Hennessy, as he believed
that he was able to identity
him. Scafiida came down, accompanied
by Deputy-Sheriff Dryer, and put his
face within few inches OF the gate to
recognize who it was that wanted to see
him. Duffy, who was standing about
a foot from the gate, with a lightning
like motion drew a revolver from his
hip-pocket and putting it within few
inches of Scafiida's face pulled the trig-
ger. and the Italian with a groan Tell
back in the corridor, the blood squirting
from a wound in the left side OF the
neck. Duffy was disarmed.
WILLING TO HANG For 1T.
While in the station Duffy said that If
the Italian died he was willing to hang.
He said: 81 only wish there were about
seyentv-fve more men like me-" Duffy
was locked up. -,
When the wounded man reached the
Charity Hospital Judge Bringier was
sent for, and, with his assistant, Judge
Hollsnder, arrived in a few minutes.
Scaflida was asked if he had anything to
say before he died and replied IN the
affirmative.
THE ITALIANS STATEMENT.
He began his statement by saying
eve knew that Chief Hennessy and
the Provenzanos were good people. We
were good friends of Matrangas. l am
going to die and / die innocent My
idea is that Matrangas did that to keep
the Provenzanos in jail. Oh, my God.
| am going to die" and Scaffida closed
his ewes and remained silent.
More than fifty arrests have been
made of parties believed to be im2il-
Gated in the assassination OF Hennessy,
and to-day another Italian, PEDRO Natal,
was identified by Officer flanagan as
one of the men he saw running away
from the scene of the murder.

s1mmoning TO Rome of the four arch

comes more significant when 1t Is known
that Bishop Dryer. of Limerick, Will be

The star, continuing, says: "Ihe
summoning Of the archbishops is believed
10 be final effort on the part of the
Vatican to assist the Tories at this criti-
cal time. The elections are near, and
prompt measures are necessary TO pro-
ptiate Lord Salisbury. The Vatican IS
convinced that it ID to its interest to
maintain the Tories in power. and feels
certain that Liberal government would
not continue negotiations. Besides, the
advisers Of the Pope bitterly resent the
refusal Of the Irish party to take it,
policy from Rome. The Irish party
does not concern itself with anything the
pope may DO. Ii hasconfdence that the
iourarchbishops will advocate the party Z
cause independently as Nationalist and
not as Ecclesiastics, and they may pre-
vent the Vatican from making a last and

BALTIMORE, October IA two-days
meeting of the managers and general
freight agents OF the Atlantic-Coast Line
and Seaboard Airline railroads has Just
closed. II was attended by John NJ.
Robinson, president of the Seaboard
Airline William SANFORD, Of New
York, vice president OF the Old Do

Clyde Line, of Philadelphia Warren IL
lott, president OF the Atlantic-Coast

agent OF the Atlantic Coast Line Major
kichard Poor, freight agent OF the
Steam Packet Company, and several
others. The first days session was de-
voted to a discussion Of the trsiiic ar
engagements between the Atlantic-Coast
Line and Seaboard Airline.
THE POINT AT ISSUE.
A question has arisen between these
companies as 70 which is entitled to
freight shipped south from Norfolk and
consigned TO the Atlantic Coast Line.
Such freight has for twenty years past
handled 10y the system OF roads OF
which John VI. Robinson is the head,
and no question has been raised to hls
right TO use this distinctive name until
within the past two months. Some time
in September notice was served ON Col
onel Robinson that freight consigned to
the Atlantic Coast Line would be claim
ed as the Legitimate traffic OF the system
of roads having that name. This
company has Just completed a
road from Norfolk to Tarboro' +,
n. G., at which point it connects
with road already in existence to VII
mington. By following the coast with
this route it is said this company claims
TO be the Atlantic Coast Line and enti-
tied to freight marked by that road;
This contention WAS disputed by Colonel
Robinson. who will carry freight over
his roads from Norfolk to Weldon,
thence to Monroe and Columbia, through
Chester, and on to Atlanta. A portion
OF this road is now under construction
and has been completed to the Georgia
line. A settlement of the differences
was not reached, but the matter was re-
ferred t6a committee which will meet
again in Baltimore.
FREIGHT RATES.
The second days session was devoted
to discussion OF freight rates 10y the
steamship and railroad lines operating
in Virginia and the Carolinas. The
rate on cotton between Sound points in
Eastern Carolina and Eastern cities was
advanced about 80 per cent. New rates
we're agreed to as follows Between New.
berne aud Washington. and other Sound
points in North Carolina, by the Old
Dominion Line direct to Norfolk ; by
the CLYDE Line to Baltimore +; 10y the East
ern Carolina Dispatch Line to Elizabeth
City by the Norfolk Southern railroad
to Norfolk and from these points by
water and rail connections to destination
in Eastern cities.

NEW York, October 1.-THE stock mar
ket to-day was moderately active. as usual,
but the tone displayed was in marked con-
trast to that OF the past two months, being
decidedly strong and at times buoyant,
with a conspicuous lack of pressure TO
sell. and it became evident before the
close of the day that liquidation has been
changed from the long TO short account.
Buying EXCELLENT.
The buying in most of the active stocks
was excellent. having the appearance OF
being for insiders, while Boston TOOK us
favorites literally. and London, which was
inclined 10 self in the early morning,
turned buyer later in the day. The news
of the day. especially that from the North
west, was favorable.
THE OPENING QUIET BUT STRONG.
The opening was quiet but strong. not
withstanding lower prices from London
and the selling of London favorites, and
while there was no excitement of any KIND,
prices moved up steadily during the fore
noon and material gains were scored IN
many of the leading stocks, the general
list az usual being quite dull, with small
fluctuations. Later. however, sudden
rush to buy Reading and st. Paul caused a
marked increase IN activity, anu the ueai-
ings betrayed more excitement.
