a Claim That Home Rule for Erin Has
Been Proved Impracticable.
LONDON, Nov. 10.-A conference of the
Lberal-Unionist Association was held at
Manchester to-day. The conference was
presided over by 1t. Hon. Sir Henry James,
who was attorney general during Mr.. Glad
stones last administration. but opposed TO
Mr.. Gladstone's scheme for the esta blish
ment of home rule for Ireland Recent
experiences, Sir Henry declared, proved
that the policy of the hberal-unionssts was
the only correct one. The loyal minority
in Ireland. he declared, could never be
handed over to the despotic government Of
the clericals.
A letter from Joseph Chamberlain was
read, saying that the Gladstonians had lost
confidence In the home rule movement, and
we're trying to pass the bill TO establish
home rule sandwiched between more allur-
ing proposals.
The Duke of Argyll. in speaking at the
meeting in support Of the general policy of
the government, described Mr.. Gladstone
as "a fanatic who is incapable of argument. y
His followers, according to the duke, were
mere puppets.

LONDON, Nov. II, 4 A. M.-The Santiago
correspondent of the Times, speaking of
the instructions Of the American govern
mont that strict neutrality be observed in
Chile, in a cool way, says: SOW
ing either to their knowledge of the
secret intentions Of the Washington cabinet,
or to other motives, Minister Egan, Com
mauder Schley and the American cons Il
continue to show the bitterest animus
against the congressional government

Minister Egan's attitude and acts continue
to be such as may provoke rupture of the
friendly relations between the two coun-
tries The declarations of Commander
Schley that war between the United States
and Chile is inevitable is an insult 20 Chile.

"The American consul at Valparaiso Is
spreading similar reports, and he adds that
strong United States squadron is coming

have been ordered TO remain. These
deliberate provocations will not make the
Chilean government abandon its correct

INDIA's CYCLONE.
Heavy Loss OF Life and Great Damage
Ashore and Afioat.

Heavy Loss Of Life and Great Damage
Ashore and Afiost.
CALCUTTA, Nov. 10.-As further details
regarding the cyclone which passed over
this part Of India last week are received it
is seen that the damage done was very ex-
tensive. Beside the loss Of seventy seven
lives by the sinking of the Indian govern
ment's steamer Enterprise, which foundered
at Andaman Islands, and the killing OF
sixty convicts, there was no doubt large
loss OF life at other places along the coast.
AdVices from various parts OF Orissa,
a province OF India, in Bengal, state the
cyclone passed over that section of the
country and did great damage The eastern
part or the pro vince referred TO lies along
the shores OF the Bay Of Bengal, and this
section is therefore exposed to the full fury
OF the gale, which seemed to gather force
as 1t swept across the bay
PATH OF THE BLOW.
The Cyclone cleared a path through tho
forests, uprooting gigantic trees and hurl-
Ing them aside as though they were reeds.
No house could withstand the terrible energy
OF the gale. and every dwelling or other
structure in the path OF tho cyclone was
either swept from its foundations or
literally picked up, turned over and de.
posted at some distance from the place
where 1t 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, the river being
the natural outlet for the trade Of the great
valleys of the Ganges and Bramanpootra
The city Is situated on the east bank of the
Hoogley river, the westernmost branch oi
the Ganges. The Hoogley river empties
into the Bay of Bengal through a number
OF mouths, the delta being ten miles across
MANY VESSELS DAMAGED.
A large number Of vessels we're at anchor
off the mouth of the river, some waiting
for an opportunity to ascend, while other
were awaiting fair wind to put to sea
These vessels were in such a position thai
when the gale suddenly burst Il
was impossible TO save many of them.
Numbers dragged their anchors
and were carried ashore, while others, more
fortunate in their holding ground, were
damaged by the pounding they received
from lhe enormous seas which accompanied
the storm. No estimate can as yet be made
OF the total loss OF life, but from all the de.
tails received 1t is known positively that the
number of persons drowned or killed by
falling trees or flying debris is very large

BRAZIL'S ACUTE CRISIS.
FONsRCA WILL SOON BE FORCED
TO FIGRT OR ABDIOArH.

The Province of Para Follows the Ex-
ample of BIO Graude Do Sul-A War
Ship Sent to the Latter Provincs-The
Great Rubber Port of the World
Situated in the Former.
LONDON, Nov. 10, 7P.M MA dispatch lust
received from Pernambuco brings further
alarming INTEL igence regarding the situa>
tion Of affairs in Brazil. which is rapidly
approaching the point where q resort to
arms will be necessary to establish the posi-
tion Of President Fonseca as dictator. So
strong has the opposition TO President Fou-
SEGA grown that yesterday It was announced
that the important province OF Rio Grande
do Sui had declared its independence.
The dispatch just received shows that
steps will have to be Immediately taken to
prevent. if possible, disintegration of the
republic. The province Of Para has fol-
lowed the example set by Rio Grande do
Sui, and to-day it declared its independ-
ence.
PARA A BIG PROVINCE.
Para is one of the most important
provinces of Brazil. 1t is situated in the
extreme north of the country. 1t contains
Az, ,467 square miles, and its population is
estimated at 343,5ll, 10000 OF whom are
supposed to be Indians. The capital of the
province is Para, the great rubber port of
the world. 1t exports in addition other
products OF the province, which consist of
cotton, vanilla, anuatto, dye woods, honey,
wax and great variety of other vegetable
and animal products The trade is mostly
with Liverpool, London. the Barbados.
Cayenne and North American ports. 1t is
expected that the province of Bahia will fol-
low Para's example.
FoNSECA AROUSED.
President Fonseca is moving rapidly to
suppress these attempts TO set up separate
governments, and he has ordered a warship
to proceed without delay to Rio Grande do
Sul TO take such action as may be necessary
TO prevent the provincial authorities from
carrying their declaration of independence
into effect. 1t behooves him to move with
alacritY, for already a man has been named
in connection with the contemplated presi-
dency of the province. He is Silverio Mar
tinez, who, during the last revolution, was
banlshed from the country. He was sub
sequently allowed to return, and he, with
out doubt, possesses greater political influ-
ence than any other man in the province.
DAILY BECOMING MORE GRAVE
The situation, as may be judged from
events which are rapidly crowdinR upon
each other, is daily becoming more grave,
and what the result of the widespread dis-
content in Brazil will be can only be a mat
ter of conjecture. President Fonseca might
perhaps do more 60 establish a new order of
things, were he not sick man. Some re-
ports have it that the disease from which
he Is suffering is cancer. That he will take
vigorous measures to suppress these latest
revolts against his authority is not doubted
by those who are acquainted with the per-
| sonal characteristics of the man. He in
no way lacks determination.

COTToNs CONDITION.
Monthly Bulletin of the Department
OF Agriculture


OF Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The cotton re-
turns OF the department of agriculture for
November are not favorable for a high
rate OF yield. The Iateness of the crop. ex-
tremes Of temperature and excess Of rain
iaIi, followed by drought, is causing en-
Ieeoled vitality ana loss of foliage aud the
Irult has been unfavorable for a large crop.
On the northern border Of the belt killing
frosts occurred on Oct. %, and in some places
as early as Nov. %. West of the Mississippi
there has been some Improvement during
the past month. The season has been very
favorable for picking. The quality Is al
most every where reported high and the
fiber Is of good color and unusually free
from trash. The yield, as averaged from
the county estimates, average 179 pounds
per acre, distributed by s sates as follows.
Virginia Isl, North Carolina l78.
South Carolina 100, Georgia
l55, Florida 120, Alabama i65.
Mississippi 100, Louisiana 200, Texas 1876.
Arkansas 2l0, Tennessee 10. As killing
frosts have not vet been general in the
southern and western sections of the belt it
is possible, with favorable weather follow
ing, hat the current expectations may be
slightly exceeded.
THE CORN CROP.
The statistical returns of the department
or agriculture for November make the corn
crop one Of the largest in volume. with a
rate of yield slightly above the average cf
tWenty-six bushels per acre. The condition
has not been very high at any period of its
growth, but it has been quite uniform with
no record OF more than 10 per cent. of dis,
abilities from all causes. The eastern and
western ends of the corn belt,
Ohio and Iowa and Nebraska,
gave somewhat better yield than
Indiana and Illinois, OF Missouri and Kan
ses, the lower levels Of the great corn belt
suffering more from threatened drought
than the higher elevations. The highest
rate Of yield, it is estimated, appears in
New England, from IS to 30 bushels per
acre. In the south the range is from IL in
Florida to rs in Maryland. Much of the
crop Is yet In the stack and its condition
and rate Of yield may be somewhat better
known after garnering and marketing. Yet
1t is evident that the product will not be less
than 2, 900, 900, 600 bushels, or 81 bushels per
unit of population.
The October condition of potatoes has
only been equalled once since 1880, and the
average yield, according to these prelimi-
nary estimates, has not been surpassed In
the past ten years. Vt averages 90. 9 bushels
per acre.
Hay is nearly an average yield.
The tobacco product IS somewhat above
the average. and will fully meet the require
ments OF consumption and export.

Delegates-1heP President Absent
SEDALIA, No., Nov. 10-The eleventh
annual session Of the national farmers con
gress met here to-day. There could be no
mistake in the character Of the assembly.
Woods opera house, tie place Of meet
ing, was handsomely decorated with
various agricultural products, sheaves of
grain, immense stalks OF corn. pumpkins
like barrels. and ears Of corn as big as
ones arm. There were 200 dele
gates present, representing thirty differ
ent states. Secretary Clayton called the
congress to order. and stated that he had
just received word from President Kolb Of
Montgomery, Ala, that IL would be impos-
sible for him TO attend. In his absence
Vice President A. W. Smith of Kansas pre-
sided.
CORN COB GAvEL.
A phenomenally large ear Of corn, to be
used as gavel, was presented 20 him.
After prayer Gov. Francis delivered an
address Of welcome 10 behalf of the state.
He said it was eminently proper that the
men who represented the great interests of
the nation should meet and confer and dis
cuss the best methods to promote
| the welfare and protection Of their
! interests. The farmers had grievances.
There was no doubt of that, and it was
proper that they should meet and devise
means to correct them. Glass legislation,
he contended, had been one potent cause Of
the depression of the agricultural interests.
| This depression had been Of long contin-
uance, and il was time now that the farmers
| were given recognition III the councils Of
the nation There were two great questions.
the proper solution of which would tend to
| ameliorate the farmers condition. One was
the Improvement Of the great water courses,
which would furnish cheap transportation
for farm products. The other was the Inn
| provement of the county roads, which
| would furnish transportation for the small
| farmers to their nearest markets
VICE PRESIDENT SMITH RESPONDS.
Vice President A. w. Smith responded.
He agreed with the governor that the great
water courses Of the country should be i'm
| proved in the interest of the farmer, manu-
facturer and merchant. Twenty million
dollars was a small enough amount
| to be devoted to the improvement
of big river like the Missouri.
The agricultural interest was the
greatest interest Of the nation and
legislatson should take 1t more into account
than it does. Still the farmer did not ask
| for class legislation. The affairs of the ma
tion could and should be administered
without any clashing of the interests Of the
farmer and manufacturer.
Acting Mayor Carroll also delivered an
address Of welcome, TO which Col Needham
of Boston responded. They came there, he
said, not as democrats, not as republicans,
| and he thanked God, not as farmers alli-
ancers. They came represen ting the agri-
! cultural interests OF the nation, irrespective
| of party.

Fears of Revolt-Starvation and Cor
ruption MaddeninR Them.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 10.-The spirit OF
insubordination among the people in the
distressed districts is becoming so intense
that it is feared that serious trouble will
arise, resulting in an open revolt of the
peasantry early in the winter.
The tenants defy the landlords to evict
them even by order OF the law, and menace
land owners with threats to burn
their granaries and residences.
Throughout Lithuania and Poland the
local courts, composed of magistrates drawn
from the tradesmen and smaller farmers,
side with the tenants. The corruption pre-
yailing among the officials aggravates the
discomfort of the people. 1t has just been
discovered that the governor of one prov
ince severely stricken with famine has been
realizing large profits By reselling grain
purchased on government credit.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. Some comment
was caused in the departments by the re-
ceipt of cablegram late yesterday evening
from Minister Egan, couched in the navy
department cipher, giving some details iu
official form of events already reported by
Capt. Schley. The explanation assumed is
that the minister fears that the integrity of
the state department cipher has not been
preserved. and has for that reason availed
himself of the indisooverable cyptogram

SESSION OF THE KN1GaTss
Powderly Greeeed With Rounds
Applause as Re Catered.


Applause as Re Battered.
TOLEDO, O., Nov 10.-The knights Of
Labor convention met this morning, and
the forenoon was spent in necessary routine
matters Worthy Foreman Hugh Cava-
naugh presided until General Master Work
man Powderly entered the hall He was
received with rounds Of applause.
General Secretary and Treasurer Hayes
reported that though the expenditures Of
the order for the past year were swelled by
several extraordinary outlays the revenue
was sufficient to meet the demands. By
order of the executive board he has
exonerated numter of assemblies from
the payment OF the per capita tax, but
urges that requests of this sort
should be discouraged. He complained that
some assemblies send in incorrect reports
to the general offices to escape their full
taxation and ask that means be devised for
preventing this. He closed with the hope
that the order may have respite from
strikes and labor troubles 50 thst the general
officers can attend to educational work.
FINANCES OF THE ORDER.
The total annual receipts were 500. 1856;
the expenditures, Sl02, ,474; the balance Oh
hand at the beginning of the year. $13, ,O53.
and the balanoe now in the treasury SO =
zoo. Inc general executive Doard'S report
followed. 1t states that there Is a growing
feeling in England and other coun-
tries in favor of the autonomy. and recon
mends that this should be granted. A
number of letters were read from the order
in South Africa and New Zealand, whore it
is growing rapidly. The board complains
that the labels of the order are counter,
feited, systematically, aud that as the law
affords no sufficient protection, asks the ap-
pointment Of special committee to devise
means Of remedy.
MEMBERSHIP OF THE ORDER.
The report oongratulates the order on its
membership of 20,000, but cautions
against reckless admission Of
members. 1t also explains that
the power granted at the last session
to sell the headquarters building at Phila-
delphia, which was asked for by the board for
q reason it then refused to give, required
the order to enable them to remove q cloud
on the title TO the property. This having
been done, it is now recommended that the
power to sell be withdrawn.
This evening formal reception was given
tbs general officers and delegates at Memo
rial hall. An address Of welcome was made
by Mayor Emmick and O response by Mr..
PowderIy.
