TROUBLESOME CANUCKs.
They Are Constantly Violating the
Alien Labor Law.

WASHINGTON. Noy. s.-Repeated vio-
lations of the alien contract law have
been reported to the treasury depart
ment, but the law itself is so strict as
regards proof that it is almost impossi-
ble to secure sufficient proofs to secure
convictions under it. The latest case
reported come from Norfolk, Va, where
the Immigrant inspector says more than
twenty Canadians have replaced
American lahorers. 2 These Canadi-
ans ore, as rule, employed by
English merchants to load cot
ton on English vessels bound for
English ports. They work cheaper than
American Iaborers do, and disappear at
the close Of the cotton season. 1t is inl-
possible, the inspector says, to obtain
PROOF thatthey come into this country
under contract. but all the American
laborers believe this to be SO, and the
inspector also believes it. Frequent
quarrels OF petty character are con-
stantly occurring between these aliens
and the native laberers. and their pres
ence is constant source of friction be-
tween the native laborers and their en-
ployers. In the absence OF the proof
required by the alien contract law, the
treasury department is powerIess to act
in this class of cases, of which the Nor
folk casels but one of many.

NrKINLEY Is SATISFIED.
He Thinks Protection Is Stronger
Than Ever.

CLEVELAND. Nov. 9.-Congressman
Mckinley arrived in this city this even
Ing. Speaking to reporter about the
recent election, he said:
Al am we'll satisfied with the result in
my own district. 1 gained 1880 votes
during campaign which lasted but
three weeks. That was even more than
had any right to expect. 1t is GER
tainly very gratifying to me-"
What do you think of the result in
the state?" was asked.
"The Republican victory on the state
ticket was splendid. The unfairness
of the gerrymander was manifested
most clearly by the recent election.
The Republicans carried the state by a
popular majority of over 1900, while
the Democrats secured two-thirdS of
the representatives in congress and the
Republicans one-third. This shows the
effect of the gerrymander very clearly"
"HaS the cause of protection suffered
any by the recent Democratic victories
throughout the country?''
''ProtectiOn is stronger to-day than it
in favor. The tariff which was made
the issue during the campaign, was but
three and half weeks old when the
election occurred, and many of its pro-
visions have not yet gone into effect.
The tariff was misunderstood and
shamefully misrepresented. The latter
was done by the importers, many of
whom are not citizens of the United
States and are free traders"
What will be the future Of the
tariff?"
81 am sure that it will win in the end.
All great measures have met with tenn
Gnfn C
slaves and the passage of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments to the consti-
tuition may be pointed to as examples.
The same issue will come to the frontin
1892. and it will then be better under
stood. Our defeat this year is
not greater than it was In
1882. two years after Garfield was
elected. The Republicans have
had majority in the house Of repre-
sentatives but twice since 1875. In this
congress we have twenty-siX members
from tine South, while in the new house
there will be but two or three. We
have little to fear in the future, if we
have free ballot and fair count"
business and number of friends
called upon him in the evening. He
said that he would take rest for few
days, aud leave for Washington in
about two weeks, so as to be ready for
the opening of congress ON Dec. /.
When asked if there would be any i'm.
portant legislation enacted during the
session, he said that he did not know of
any.
1--WE did not leave much undone DUR
ing the past session." he remarked with
a smile. Maj. Mckinley feels confident
that the senate will pass the Lodge
federal election bill before the close of
the session.

PICToU BADLY sCoRCHED.
Fire Does 100000 Damage in q
Nova Scotia Town.

PIcToU, n. S., Nov. s.-The largest
fire here for twenty years. started at
1:S0 a. m. in the police station
OH the east side of South
Market wharf and rapidly spread
south to Harbor and north ia
Water street. A Norwegian sailor, who
was the sole inmate of the police sta
ton, perished before the fire was dis
covered. The steamer William, lying
alongside the wharf. got the first stream
of water on the burning buildings, do
ing effective service, and the
fire. engines PictoU and Express
were soon playing with branch hose.
A strong south wind was blowing. and
the flames soon seized the large Arni-
son warehouse occupied by Dalton 81 .
Meagher'S stables, spreading thence to
Casson's lumber yard, and destroying,
in addition to the lumber, their ware
house, carpenter shop and steam saw
mill. besides a building occupied by
Prlngle & Son as a shop and D.
Sutherland & Co.'s Office. a hard fight
was made here to stop the progress Of
the fire, but it was unsuccessful, and
the dwelling occupied by William Car
son went next. The paint shop of John
Brown, warehouse owned by A. j.
Paterson and a double tenement be-.
longing to A. D. Mcdonald were also
destroyed before the flames were got
under control. The total loss is about
100000 and the inSur ance about half
that amount.

ST. PAUL CAN STAND THIS.
Scheme for a Ship Railroad Con-
Meeting Lakes With the ST.
Lawrence.
Chicago Herald.

Lawrence.
CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Early in the COM
ing session of congress representatives
of a syndicate composed Of Chicago,
Montreal and London capitalists will
present for consideration a gigantic
scheme, which, according to the present
plan, will place Chicago and the North
west i'll direct conn c;iCn with the At
laDtic seaboard, by means of a ship
railway. which Is designed to connect
the lakes with the st. Lawrence river
and the Atlantic ocean. The scheme
will likewise be presented to the Cana
dian parliament, and subsidy for
its construction and maintenance
asked of the dominion govern
ment. The inauguration and Compile
tion of the scheme involves the eX-
penditure of S12,000,000. according to es-
Inmates furnished Representatives of the
syndicate, which has its headquarters
at Toronto and Montreal. a United
States official stationed at Toronto is
understood to have just returned from
London, and report comes from To-
ronto that while in London he acted for
the syndicate and secured assurances
from English capitalists Of their cor
dial, moral and financial support. The
ship railway is the first great step to-
wards uniting the commercial interests
Of the United States and Canada. 1t is
said to have been originated by promi-
capitalists, who have always advocated
union of the commercial in
terests of the two countries. Erastus
Wlman is represented as being one of
the leading movers in the scheme, and
is listed for pretty big slice of the
stock. Three routes have been consid-
cred. either one of which would reduce
by at least 400 votes the distance be-
tween Chicago and the Atlantic ocean
and Liverpool. Reconstruction of the
ship railway, it has been demonstrated
to the satisfaction of the syndicate,
would make the time between Chicago
and Liverpool for fast steamer only
two days longer than from New York
to Liverpool. So quietly have the plans
been matured that the first intimation
of the project reaches Chicago
from Toronto, with the statement
ton of the syndicate on Cana
dian ground was secured from the
Dominion parliament in such shape as
to escape notice. 1t is also stated that
the three routes under consideration
have already been surveyed, and one of
them favored by majority of the pro-
moters of the enterprise. AS near as
can be learnee, the most favored route
IS to connect Georgian bay with Lake
Ontario by means of the railway, which
is to be about sixty-siX miles long. The
direct course is through lakes Michigan,
Superior and Huron. through Georgian
bay to Lake Ontario, AMI thence to the
st. Lawrence. The franchise obtained
from the Dominion parliament provides
for canal. bat is wOrded so that it can
be used to construct and maintain q
ship railway instead. The canal, it is
estimated, would cost over S20,0UO.O0O,
while the ship railway does not call for
the expenditure Of more than S12 ,060. 900.

CHICAGO, Nov. San evening paper

position held by Mr.. Lincoln is an eX-
pensive one, and the necessary expendi-

RIOT AT A JUBILEE.
A Negro Shoots Wildly Into a
Crowd of Democrats.

MARION, Ind, Nov. S.-The Demo-
cratic celebration at Fairmount tonight
over the results Of Tuesdays election
was made the occasion of bloody riot.
While the procession was moving
along the principal street, a negro
of huge proportions ran into the process
sion, brandishing club and revolver,
and commenced firing and knocking
right and left. Al Powell, a white
teamster, who was walking IN the pro-
cession, was shot and instantly killed.
William Campbell was shot in the arm:
Bill earn was shot in the leg: Jim
Berry received bullet in the face and
Jerry Frazier (colored) received a ball
in his leg. The cOlored man who start
ed the riot, and whose name cannot be
ascertained, was shot twice in the back
after he had killed Powell, and was
placed under arrest. He was taken
away with the mob bowling at his heels.
and reports from Paramount are to the
effect that there is good prospect
for a lynching. Sheriff McFeely, of
this city, has gone to the scene and will
endeavor to protect the prisoner. The
cooler heads at FairmOunt are also
using all their influence to prevent vio-
lence. The darkey who did the shoot
ing came to Fairmount a few days ago
from Anderson. The condition of one
or two of the wounded is reported to be
serious.

TillepS Of the Soil Mean to Cut
a Figure in Poll
ties.
Two Years Hence They Will
Sweep All the Agrieul-
tural States.
Thirty-FOup Farmers Will
Have Seats in the Next
Congress.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. l.. Polk,
president of the National Farmers Al
lance, is very jubilant over the result
OF the election. In the course Of an in
terview, he said to-day: The Demo-
Gratis and Republicans are claiming
everything just now, but when they
come to sift the chaff from the wheat
they will find that the Farmers Alli-
ance had something to do with electing
fair proportion of the good men who
will have seats in the next congress.
Up to the present time it is a GER
tainty that congress will contain
thlrty-eight straight-Out Alliance
men, and there are twelve or fifteen
more who are pledged to US. These
the two sections in which most Of our
work was done. The Alliance in Ne
braska, Minnesota and Iowa is not our
organization, has not amalgamated
with US, but it made the same fight and
will join us this winter. Our Alliance
co-operated with them; we will cooper
ate with any farmers association and in
little while have grip on the situa-
tlon III almost every corner Of the
land. We are here to stay. This
great reform movement will not
cease until 1t lmpreSSeS itself
indelibly on the nations his
tory. Financial reform is the
necessity of the hour, and it must come.
The press and the voice of the stump
speaker were our only assistants. The
Alliance had no campaign fund; no
Doodle; if we had had money we would
not have used it. The virtue and the
patriotism of the people are the things
to appeal to. Our methods were fair
and square, and the whole world could
see What we were doing. The princi-
pies on which the Alliance is founded
are solid and correct; we must succeed.
The fight was no small offair. The ex-
tremists of both parties attacked us Bit
terly, and gave no inch of ground. In
the South it was the Democrats who op-
posed US. In the North our most Wig
orous antagonists were Republicans"

Nothing but the official count will

is elected governor of Minnesota. The
GLOBE has received what purport TO
be tull returns from every county in
the state except Marshall, where the
count, Ior some unknown reason, has
been delayed. Many Of these returns
are the results OF the official canvass and
can be entirely relied upon, while others
are the figures furnished by GLOBE
correspondents and county auditors. In
nearly every case the official returns
change the figures previously received,
and still further changes may be eX-
pected. On the face of the returns
Judge Wilson has a plurality, small it
is true, but entirely sufficient if main
tanned. Completed returns are more
likely to increase than to diminish the

The Republican committee and press
Still claim Merriam elected, but the fig
ureS furnished by the former are incor-
rect. While the latter refuse to give out
their returns. From the committee
room it is sent out that they claim about
1000 plurality, but those on the inside
know that the claim is whitfield down
to less than 500. There is something
very suspicious in their refusal to
give figures. and in the fact that they
have one set of figures for themselves
and another for the public. The Dem
ocratlc committee, on the other hand.
claim Wilson's election by about 400.
and are willing to show their figures to
anybody interested. 1t is also suspi-
cious that the Republican committee de-
cllned to meet the Democratic commit

fraud in the count. Mr.. Campbell sent
the following letter to each of the other

necessary, that said REPRESENTATIVES make
