The Convention Fight.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Cincinnati,
Omaha, Minneapolis and San Francisco
have notified Acting Chairman Clarkson
that they want to be heard on the loca-
ton of the national convention. They
have engaged hotel quarters for big dele
cations of boomers. Tacoma is also 60
ing to put in a bid. Mr.. Clarkson says
that a day will probably be given up to
listening to the arguments put forward
for the different cities, but the committee
might do as it did last time and fix the
location at a night session. President
Harrison recently told a friend that he
had no preference az to the location of
the convention. Any city agreed on by
the committee would be satisfactory to
the administration and it's influence
would not be exerted to affect the judg-
ment of the committee.

PROMISES A BIG STRIKE.

No Toward Settlement of South
ern Pacific Troubles.
HOUSTON, Tex. Nov. 15.-Committees
representing all the trainmen except
the engineers and firemen of the South
ern Pacific system and General Superin-
tendent Van Week have held a confer
ence to adjust existing troubles. No
progress was made, although the meet
ing lasted all day. A strike is now
threatened on the entire system from
New Orleans to San Francisco. The
men demand increased wages, and an
effort is being made by them to have the
engineers and fremen join the move
ment. Another conference will be had
with the general manager on Monday
and if he fails to agree to the demands:
of the men President Huntington will.
be appealed to, or a general strike will
be made. The men are being backed by
their organizations. There is also fric-.
ton between the engineers and the road.
and should they join with the other.
trainmen and their demands be refused
the greatest strike ever seen on the
American continent would ensue..

A Cipher Message,

LONDON, Nov. A.-Even the most
alarming reports from Brazil are on.
drmed by a dispatch received by a lead
ing financial house having large inter-
ests in Brazil. This message, so far as
untangled from the cipher complica-
tions in which it has been wrapped, says
in substances: "Affairs look bad; up
heaval has been; result uncertain; sew
eral provinces revolving; troops joining
opposition; Fonseca can't count on navy;
health bad; fighting going on some
where; Fonseca's defeated, exchange
dropping; garrison Rio uneasy; finance
blue; paper money under cloud; prices
everything rising; presence strong Brit
ish fleet good effect; opposition gaining
every hour; much bloodshed possible"
From the above synopsis of the situa'
ton it will be seen that the worst is to
be feared. Other and similar messages,
some of them giving more details, and
others still being Of a decidedly more
sensational character, have been re.
ceived in London during the last few
hours.
One Significant Fact.
Of course the fact is not lost sight of
that English financiers and merchants
are, in some cases, not averse to receiv-
ing and spreading bad news from Brazil:
they are not in favor of the United
States reciprocity treaty with that coun-
try, and some Of them would make
handsome profits at a slump in Brazilian
securities. Further fighting is reported
in Brazil, and the opposition forces are
again credited with a victory, but the
spot where the battle was fought is not
stated; but it is supposed to have been
in the vicinity of Santa Anna, near
Porto Alegrede, the capital of Rio
Grande Do Sui. A number of other
towns, in addition to Porto Alegrede,
are reported to have hoisted the flag of
the national party Of Brazil, and large
bodies of troops are being raised in the
provinces with the ultimate intention,
it is said, of advancing upon the dicta-
tors headquarters at Sac Paolo.
1t is now said that Da Fonseca's idea
in leaving Rio Janeiro for Sac Paolo
was undoubtedly caused by the two
facts already mentioned in these dis
patches, namely. that he makes his base
of operations there because it is near
Santos, a port he is said to be certain he
can count upon, because he can there
prevent a juncture between the forces
Of the province of Rio Grande Do Sui,
and, finally, because his advisers are
said to be of the opinion that the politi-
cal atmosphere of Rio Janeiro is not at
the present moment thoroughly bene-
fetal to the d~ictator's health.

supply of water. in the reservoir. The
reduction Of the pressure in the city has
greatly reduced the consumption of wa
ter, and the pressure is to be reduced
still further at once. The daily con-
sumption has been reduced from 1861
100000 gallons to 1O0,OOO,OOO. All street
sprinkling will be stopped to-day.
Nothing but a heavy and prolonged
rainfall within a week, Commissioner
Gilroy says, can save the city from a
costly water famine. 1t will soon be-
come necessary to stop the use of water
for manufacturing purposes if the situa.
ton does not improve.

Bad Coal Fire at Duluth.

DULUTH, Nov. 13.-There are two seri-
GUS fires burning at the coal docks now.
A fire broke out early this morning in
the soft coal of the Northern Pacific
company and looks more menacing than
the one that has been burning for over a
week on the Pioneer Fuel company's
dock, as it is close to n of the big ele-
vators. Three engines from st. Paul and
Minneapolis are at work on the fire in
addition to the home department. Should
the fire spread to other coal piles, a cosl
famine in the northwest is probable.

Safe Blowers at Aitkin.

A1TK1N, Mimi, Nov. A.-Aitkin was
visited during the night by burglars,
who gained entrance into D. G. Young
& Co.'s store by cutting a hole through
the back door. After procuring drills
and other tools from a blacksmith shop,
they drilled small holes through the top
of the safe and put in a charge of pow
der, blowing the door of the safe off.
They then took the cash drawer, which
contained $500 in cash and between 5000
and $500 in checks and left. In the
morning the drawer and checks were
found some two blocks away. It. was a
very easy job for them as no Waterman
slept in the store. There is no clue to
the robbers.

A Man After Hannifin's Heart.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Nov. 14.-John
Kopp, a German, committed suicide by
hanging himself to a rafter in the cellar
of his home, at No. 10 Evitts lane, East
Bridgeport. The only known reason for
his committing suicide is the fact that he
is one of the last members of the famous
Suicide Club of this city, and that it was
time for another member to die. He
had been a member of the club from its
first starting, and has officiated at the
funerals of nearly all the members, and
often said that his turn would come in a
short time.

The Worst Storm Ever Known.

TACOMA, WASH, Nov. 1.-THE storm
of this week was the worst ever known
in western Washington. Gigantic frs
that have withstood the storms of centu-
ries without losing as much as a bough
we're %uprooted by the hundred on the
mountain sides. Huge powders many
tons in weight became detached and
crashed down the PERCEPTIONS sides of
the canons and gulches, and rain fell in
torrents, swelling the rivulets and brooks
and rivers to OVERLOOKING. The damage
grows as the reports come in and may
run up into the millions if a fair valua-
ton is put Oh the timber destroyed.

DlSGRACEFUL FUNERAL SCENE.
A Father Shot by His Son for Attending
an Enemy's Obsequies.

A Father Shot by His Son for Attending
In Enemy's Obsequies.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., Nov. 18.-News.
has reached this city of a most disgrace.
full and daring occurrence which took.
place at Burnoville, in Yancey county.
One of the best citizens of that county,.
Solomon Carter, had died very suddenly
and was being buried. Garrett D. Ray,
another leading citizen of the same
town, had not lived on good terms with
Mr.. Carter during the latter's lifetime,
but as death had removed one of the.
two, Mr.. Ray thought he would aid in
paying the last tribute of respect to his
departed neighbor, and attended the.
burial. This SO enraged the son of MI.
Ray that he shot at his father
several times, whereupon Judge
J. e.. Bynum, who was at
that time holding court, ordered the ar;
rest of young Ray. He deied the sheriff,
but walked into the court house, and
with his double arreled gun drove the.
judge from the bench, cleared out the
assembly and deliberately walked off.
Never before in the history of this state
has such a daring outbreak upon, the
law and dignity Of the courts been ex--
p%erienced, and it is feared that much
trouble will result therefrom, as tne
feeling in Yancey county is beyond hope
of control. Judge Bynum is one of the
ablest jurists in North Carolina, and has
many friends, who will be blind to-
every sense of duty if this wrong is not.
speedily righted.

A Second Coal Fire at Duluth,

DULUTH, Nov. 15.-There are two
serious fires burning at the coal docks
now The fire that broke out early in
the morning in the soft coal Of the
Northern Pacific company looks more
menancing than the fire that has been.
burning for over a week on the Pioneer
Fuel company's dock, because it is close
to n of the big elevators. The fremens
are nov divided into. two crews and.
their work is not as effective as when
all were at work on the Pioneer COM
pany's fire.

Improper Publications.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Commis-r
sioner Raum, of the pension Office, is
preparing a letter to the Sc cretary of the
interior in which the latter's attention
will be called to certain books purport-
ing to give an inside history of the
workings and methods Of departmental.
employees. These publications are
credited by some people, among them
the commissioner, as highly improper
and he thinks their authors are unfit,
to hold government positions. Several
of the female clerks ir the interior de-
partment are highly incensed at the
authors of the publications, who, they,
say, seek to ridicule the virtue of the,
sex in the departments. y

Sailing Orders Given.


NEW YORK, Nov. IA special to
the Press from Washington says it is
quite evident that the president and
Secretary Blaine do not propose to let
Chill long remain in ignorance of the
fact that the United States has made
substantial progress in the building Of
a navy. The news has leaked out that
there is to be a change in the assiyl-
ments Of a number of vessels, which
will result in the concentration of such
a fleet of war ships in the harbor of
Valparaiso as to amount to a naval
demonstration.
Orders have been sent, it is said, to
Rear Admiral Gherardi to proceed at
once to Valparaiso and assume COM
mand of the Southern Pacific station.
Rear Admiral Brown, now in command
there, will be detached and placed on
waiting orders. Rear Admiral Walker
will retain his flagship, the Chicago,
and relieve Gherardi, in command of
the North Atlantic station. Rear Ad-
miral Benham will be sent on board
the Newark to take command of
the South Atlantic station. with
headquarters at Rio Janeiro. The
Atlanta, Concord and Bennington
are all to sail On Sunday tr Monday for
Gillian waters. The Charleston has al
ready been ordered to return from the
Asiatic section to the Southern Pacific.
These orders will result in placing under
the command of Admiral Gherardi at
Valparaiso, a feet composed of the Phil
adelphia, flag ship, San Francisco, Bal
timore, Charleston, Boston, Atlanta,
Yorktown, Concord and Bennington,
while the Newark will be within COM
paratively easy call at Rio. This con-
centration of war ships will carry
nearly one hundred guns and more than
2,7oO men. The selection of Admiral
Gherardi to command this fleet can be
regarded as significant. He is known
at the principal diplomat among the Of
fcers of the navy, and it will be remem-
bered that he, in a sense, superseded
Minister Douglas in the futile negotia-
lions with Hayti for the possession of
Mole st. Nicholas as a coaling station.

Youthful Horse Thieyes.

MUNC1E, Ind, Nov. 1.-Two very
youthful horse thieves were captured
near this city with their stealings. They:
r George and Fred Cook, aged re-
spectively II and 10 years, and during
the night stole two horses from Lorenzo
Watson's p" sture in the northern part
of this Delaware) county. One of the
animals belonged to Richard Craw, who
with Mr.. Watson tracked the horses
until overtaKen. The boys are sons Of
James Cook, e Hartford City, and.
