What May Be Done IL the Election
Bill Becomes "a Law.

CINCINNATI, July 10.-A prominent
wholesale merchant of Charleston,
South Carolina, who does not wish his
name to be used, is in the city and
talked freely yesterday on Southern
sentiment regarding the federal cleo
tions bill. He says the people of the
north have no idea of the intense
feeling that exists among all classes
in the south over the proposed meas
ure. There is no disposition to talk
about it, or to make threats, but the
passage of the bill will be the signal
for the creation of the EXTREMIST Bit
terness-a feeling that will undo all
that the years of peace have accom-
plished and that will find manifesto
ton in action. First of all, every
northern product, as far as possible,
will be boycotted. Following this
will come the most extensive and eff
fectual boycott on class labor ever
known in the world. Arrangements
are already under way to secure
abroad thousands of white laborers,
and every negro employee in the south
will be discharged, men, women and
children, and no southern man will,
under any preteXt, give one of them
employment, the object being to drive
them into the north and west

Bloodthirsty Strikers.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, July lit
was expected that the strike among
street laborers would be ended yester-
day by the men accepting the old
wages, $1.75 day. The dependency
of the men was but lull before the
storm. About two hundred strikers
appeared in the main streets in the
morning and proceeded to Twelfth
street, where about four hundred men
were employed. The strikers rushed
upon them and fight ensued. Con-
tractor Sutton cut one man on the arm
with IL shovel. The strikers chased
Sutton to his home. three blocks, beat
ing him with clubs.
Later in the day mob arrived at
the American steel barge works, where
they were kept at distance with re-
volvers. After dinner another attempt
was made to force the works. Con-
tractor Anderson shot one man in the
head, the bullet glancing and hitting a
man named John Foster in the left
arm. The strikers then charged, but
Anderson held his ground with drawn
revolver. The mob threw bricks and
clubs and anything they could lay
hands upon. When the mayor and a
force of special police arrived on the
grounds the strikers were wild for An.
derson's life. The mayor quoted the
crowd by appointing committee of
strikers and crowd of policemen to
see Anderson to the city hall

Another Assistant Secretary.

WASHINGTON. July 10.-The legisla-
tive and executive appropriation bill
contains provision for the appoint
ment OF an additional assistant secre-
tary of the treasury. Such an officer
has been needed for many years, as the
business of that department has
reached magnitude beyond the capac-
ity OF the secretary and his two assist
ants. The secretary of state and the
postmaster general each have three
assistants and the treasury department
IS larger than either. Under the pres
ent division of labor Mr.. Tichenor, the
first assistant secretary, has charge of
the collection of the revenues of the
government, while Mr.. Bachelor, the
other assistant secretary, has charge of
the disbursement of the appropriations,
the bureau of engraving and printing.
the bureau of currency and other
branches. When the new assistant is
appointed there will be reapportion-
ment of the duties. 1t is understood
that Secretary Window has already
selected General Nettleton of Mime
sofa for the new Office although he will
have two vacancies to fill, because Mr..
Tichenor has been appointed one
of the appraisers under the new ad-
mlnistration customs law. General
Nettleton was formerly connected with
the clearinghouse of Jay Cooke &
Co., and was conspicuous in the Or
ganization and construction of the
Northern Pacific road. After the
failure of Jay Cooke he settled in
Minneapolis, where he became the ed
itor and proprietor of the Tribune.
His early editorial experience was in
the Office of the Register at Sandusky,
Ohio. He is an intimate friend of
Mr.. Window, and although not
candidate for Office, will, it is under
stood, accept the position No one
has yet been mentioned for the va
cancy to be caused by Mr.. Tichenor's |
transfer. There is also to be an assis-
tant-secretary of the navy, an office
for which Professor Solely of the ma
val observatory has been mentioned.

pl.eu..,on OF IN. Election mn.

WASHINGTON, duly 1.-THE repub-
lican senators were in caucus three
hours last night discussing the order
of business. The outcome was a de-
cision to conclude the consideration of
the pending shipping bills and then
take up the sundry civil appropriation
bill. There was prolonged debate
respecting the places to be assigned
the tariff bill and the river and harbor
bill, as well as the expediency of con-
sidering the national election bill this
session, but no decision was reached.
as it was believed before the matters
above referred to are disposed of, the
democratic policy will be sufficiently
revealed to guide the republicans in
formulating measures to meet the sit
uation.
The speeches tonight showed there
was decided majority for the federal
election bill and it is said no one
strongly objected to it, but fairly
good number showed great deal of
lukewarmness on the subject. There
was almost unanimity in the opinion
that 1t will be absolutely necessary to
adopt the closure rule in order to pass
the bill and Senators Edmunds, Teller
and few of the other senators thought
this would outweigh the benefit to
come from the bills passage. Senator
Edmunds suggested sitting it out, but
it soon developed that for one reason
or cumbersome said plainly hot
waafhnr -
this. The senators favored sdoing
business" or adjourning. 1t was from
the west that the Indifference to the
bill came, though at least one and it is
said two eastern senators were by no
means favorable to it, Senators Aid
rich and Ingalls, of the rules committee
were among those who favored the rule
to stop the debate and Senator Teller
was even more determined in his oppo-
sition to it than Senator Edmunds.

when you have got something to sell,

Wife Murderer.

COLUMBUS, Ind, July 11.-John
Pitilliott, who murdered his wife in
this city on the evening of July 4, by
shooting her five times with bulldog
revolver, was arranged before justice
OF the peace to-day on a charge of
murder in the first degree. He waived
a preliminary examination and was re-
manded to Jail. Evidence was given
before the coroner to show that an
hour previous to the murder Pitilliott
was upon the river bank near the city
practicing shooting at target, and
that he was an expert with a revolver.
He will be tried in September.

a large part of it is due to avoidable as

would abstain from heavy, rich food,

sickness would be greatly reduced. and

and bathing, the death lists would be
still shorter.

Baker of New York the senate amend
bill for the admission of the state O.

OF Wyoming the senate amendments
were concurred in to the house bill
for the disposal of the abandoned
military reservations in Wyoming.

rules reported resolution providing
that Immediately after the adoption OF
a resolution it be in order for the
committee on judiciary to call up for
consideration the Original package"
bill and afterwards the bankruptcy
bill. this order to continue from day
to day for four days successfully, be-
ginning with today. Mr.. Payson raised
the question OF consideration in favor
OF the land grant forfeiture bill. The
house refused-yeas, 80; nays, 97-to
consider the resolution from the COM
mittee on rules.
In the senate on the 9th, the bill for
the admission of Wyoming as a state
was signed by Senator Ingalls, as pre-
siding officer. The bill now goes TO
the president for his signature. The
consideration of the conference report
on the silver bill was resumed, and
Senator Cockrell continued his argu-
ment against the report. Senator
Cockrell said that the rule that applied
in France did not apply here. Senator
Jones OF Arkansas read an article from
New York evening paper saying that
as a result OF the silver conference the
silver men had been 'foiled," and Sem
ator Cockrell said that this article was
from representative Of the gold inter-
est and should be warning to the sem
ator from Nevada. In the house Mr..

conference report on the bill appro-
SO, 600 for the relief of Albert

question thereon. The previous oues-
ton was ordered and the report agreed
TO. Mr.. Hit, Illinois, from the commit
tee on foreign affairs, reported back

matte and consular appropriation bill.

ence having been made to the appro-

been to enthrone Il king who had been
dethroned by his people. Our repre-
sentatives who were sent abroad for
the purpose of settling Samoan mat
ters actually had gone to the extent
Of overriding the will of the people of
samoa and setting up as king a scape-
grace who had been dethroned, and
moreover this American administra-
ion had undertaken to pay part of the
expenses of his kingdom. 1t was a
iisgrace to the American people and

The eleventh annual report of the De.
partment of Agriculture, just completed,
makes very remarkable showing. The
season was generally favorable to cotton.
The acreage was increased from !, ,561 ,2SO
acres in 1889 to 1,615,4S0 acres in 1890,
and careful and conservative estimate,
based upon reports received since Novem.
sber 1st, places the yield of the crop of
!. 1S90.1S91 at GIL, LAG bales of upland and
10000 bags of Sea Island cotton. This
s is by far the largest crop ever grown in
the State. The fiber, too, is unusually
long and strong. The immense yield is
attributable to the increased acreage.
heavier fertilization and to the generally
favorable season. The stands obtained
were almost perfect, and while the heavy
rains Of August and September damaged
the open cotton, which was two weeks
earlier than usual, this loss was more than
compensated by the heavy top crop,
which Vas produced thereby and which
the subsequent perfect weather has ma.
stured. The rice crop was considerably
damaged by rain during the harvest sea-
SOD, and is below the average. Corn and
all other crops, with the exception of
wheat, are above the average. Notwith-
! standing the low prices realized for cotton
