RALEIGH, Nov. 6.-The negro state

take action regarding the offices and
demand that the negroes get thelr pro

To Steal Senator Brics'. Scat.

LIMA, Ohio, Nov. 6.-The Republi-
cans having captured the Legislature
at yesterdays election will have great
deal to do with Senator Brice taking
his seat. There is a great strife be-
tween the Sherman and Foraker fac
tions for the Senatorship, and the Re-
publicans are confident that they have
found solution to the trouble which
will smooth over all differences, and

The plan is for the Republicans to
leave Mr.. Brice's credentials to be refus'

matter back to the Ohio Legislature.

of the Legislature TO elect two Senators
instead of one, and both the contestants
will be elected. and the Democrats cheat
ed out Of their representative In the
Senate. This disclosure Of the scheme
mere to-day has caused much excite

1mpudent scheme of soue Scamp

JERSEY CITY, n. j., Nov. 10.-Two
letters have besn sent South from Jer-
sey City recently purporting to be writ
ten by Miss Winnie Davis, the daughter
of the late Jefferson Davis, begging for
$1,000. One was sent to DR.. William
Morrow, of Nashville, Tenn, and the
other to General Gordon, of Atlanta,
Ga. There is little doubt that they were
written by Stoddard, the forger who
lies in Hudson county jail and who
forged his way out Of the Tennessee
mines by forging letter to the govern
or asking for his pardon, purporting to
be signed by the States attorney, and a
petition purportlng to be signed By a
lot of the foremost people of Kentucky.
The superintendent of police received
letter from Doctor Morrow enclosing
the note sent to him. He turned the
case over to the chief Of police who
wrote to Dr.. Morrow for the original,
a day or two later friend Of Miss
Davis came from New York bringing
q note from Mrs. Davis. General Cor
don knew the address OF Mrs. Davis
and her daughter in New York and
knew that they would not need to write
to him for money, so he sent the letter
to them to put them on their guard.

Thoro'd be a Fight Then.

SANTIAGO, Chilli, Nov. 6.-Newspa-
pers here have for several days been
publishing wild stories about q con-
spiracy formed among the refugees at
the American legation to kill General
Canto. Notice was circulated to-day
calling for q meeting of the people IN
the plaza, to deEounce the conspiracy.
Egan, the United States Minister, in
formed the Junta that threats had been
made to attack the United States lega-
tion and capture the refugees, and he
warned this Junts that It would be held
responsible for such action. Later IN
the day several thousand 1nen assem-
bled in the plaza anG applauded several
incendiary speeches In which the sup
posed conspiracy and the United States
legation were denounced. The Junta
upon receiving Egan's letter, sent a
troop Of cavalry to guard the United
States legation, and as the meeting IN
the plaza closed, the IntenGente pub

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ga telegram
from the japanese Government received

IN Japan OF October %. It seems from
this authenticated report that the dam
age caused by the earthquake was con-
fined almost wholly to the pretectures
Of Lucai ard Gifu, the former of which
is on t!.e sea. about 10 miles from
Toxic. and the latter immediately to

Republicans are Disappointed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE general
feeling here is that the elections this
week and their results have smoothed
the way for Democratic victory in
1892. The president, Mr.. Blaine and
other members of the administration
see this and they do not contemplate
the figures OF the last election with any
thing like satisfaction. They have
seen the free coinage and Farmers ALI
ance scares falling out Of sight and tar
if reform standing out boldly as the Is
sue with the certainty that proper
man that will be the nominee Of the
Democratic party on sound platform.
The members OF the administration
make but a feeble attempt to disguise
the fact that the losses their party have
sustained are serious II not fatal. The
thing Mr. Harrison was concerned
about above all else WAS the election Of
MIR. Fasset. His vocabulary does not
supply a term strong enough for his dis
appointment. Democrats are inconsol-
able because MIR. Campbell has been
compelled to take. but there Is acknowl-
edged much in that result In the way
of prefit II the Democracy will not close
their eyes to it.
It holds tie Republicans to the rob-
Der tariff as an issue for which they
must contend, and 1t promises to elimi-
nate the free coinage or silver idea from
the fight in '92. Thus sunlight can be
seen through the only Democratic re-
verse. While the administration finds
no solace anywhere, the New York Sun
in an editorial leader pGophesies that
Blaine aud Mckinley will be the Re
publican ticket in V2. 1t is thought
here that the large Republican major
ity In the Ohio legislature will invite a
bitter fight between Sherman and For
2Eer for the senate

CYCLONE IN INDIA.
Later Reports Mako The Disaster
Worse.

CALCUTTA, Nov. 10.-As further de-
tails regarding the cyclone which passed
over this part of India Monday Of last
week are received it is seen that the
damage done is very extensive. Besides
the loss OF seventy-seven lives by tho
sinking Of the Indian government stean-
er Enterprise" which fouRdered at the
Andaman islands and the killing ofslxty
conyicts there IL no doubt large loss Of
life at other places along the coast.
Advices from various parts Of Orissa, q
province Of India in Bengal, state that
the cyclone passing over that section OF
country did great damage. The eastern
part Of the province referred to lies
along the shores Of the Bay Of Bengal
and this section was therefore exposed
TO the full fury Of the gale which seemed
to gather force as it swept across the
bav. TIE cyclone cleared the path
through the forests, uprooting gigantic
trees and hurting them aside al though
they were reeds. No house could stand
the terrible energy of the gale and every
dwelling or other structure in the path OF
the cyclone was either swept from its
foundations or literally picked up, turned
over and deposited atsome distance from
the place where it had originally stood.
The wind also did much damage in the
vicinity Of Calcutta or at least below
that city. AS is well known, Calcutta
is the seat OF an immense trade by sea
and river, being the natural outlet for a
trade of the great valleys of the Ganges
and Brannah Pootra. The city is Sit
uated on the cast bank OF tile Hoog!ey
river. the westernmost branch OF the
Ganges. The Hoogly river emptles into
the bay of Bengal through a number OF
mouths. the Deltl being ten miles
across. A large number ofvessels were
at anchor of the mouths Of the river,
some waiting for an opportunity to as
cend while others were awaiting fair
wind to put to sea. These vsssels were
in such a position that when the gale
suddenly burst it was impossible to save
many Of them. Numbers dragged their
anchors and were carried ashore. while
others, more fortunate in their holding
ground, we're damaged by the pounding
they received by the enormous seas
which accompanied the storm. No es,
innate can az yet be made Of the total
loss, but from all the details received 1t
is known positively that the aunber o.
persons drowned or killed by falling
trees or flying debris is very large.

Blown Ersn. a Woll.

ATLANTA, Nov. 6.--Duncan Eagin. q
negro, met horrible death yesterday
afternoon. He was blown from the
bottom of well, twenty feet deep, and
ten feet above the opening, tearing his
body in half and otherwise mutllating
it. Eagin was Well-digger and has
for some time been at work IN Bell
wood. Hard rock was struck few
days ago in a well he WAS digging and
it was made necessary to do some heavy
blasting. Yesterday he was preparing
to make blast, and was alone at the
bottom of the well. Everything was
in readiness and in place when he found
it necessary to do more drilling. In
stead of removing the dynamite he at
tempted to do the work while it was In
place. The striking Of the hard steel
against the rock soon procured the nee
essary incentive to the powder, and a
loud explosion took place. Instantly
the workmen outside were Mortified to
see the body of Eagin shoot from the
mouth of the well and on up into the
air. A mass of dirt, fragments Of stone
and smoke accompanied the body and
rained down upon those about. Rush
ing to Eagin, they found the body hor-
ribly mutilated and the man uncou-
scious. Powder stains and burns coy-
cred the face and hands. The hair and
clothes we're scorchcd. Blood poured
from his nose, ears and cuts in his flesh.
The body was torn almost In two parts
and presented q horrifyipg appearance.
He was picked up and carried TO his
home. Medical attendance was suui-
moned, but it was impossible to do
more than relieve the mans suffering,
and before morning he was dead.
