RECEIVING THE RETURNS.

mt Heart

Although this is entirely an off year in
Illinois politics, and Rock Island in com
mon with other Illinois cities outside the
metropolis of the state. was spared the
turmoil and anxiety of heated political
contest. the returns from the states of
Iowa, Ohio. New York. Massachusetts
PennsY lvania, etc, were awaited with a
great deal of interest in the city, and large
crowds of people gathered about the news
paper and Telegraph offices, snd especially
the Rock Island and Harper houses,
where returns we're received. The ex.
citement Was no. as intense locally speak
ing, as it was during last falls congress
sional election, or the national and state
elections three years ago. The receipt of
news from the states where elections were
ha5, however. was attended by manifes-
tations of approval or disspproval by the
respective parties, as it happened to be.
At the Rock Island house the domoc>
racy received the returns, as per arrange
ment of Chairman Wheelan. and the re-
tounda of the hotel was packed from s
O'Clock in the evening until after mid
night. A bulletin board had been pro-
vided, and after The dispatches were read
they were posted SO that they might be
read at leisure and compared, the ar,
rangement being very satisfactory one
in ell respects.
AT the Harper where the republicans
had their love feast. no one seemed to be
in it but Boss Wells. who took general
charge of affairs and would permit no bull
letin be read until it passed his scrutiny.
The boss did withhold that soul DESTROY
ing whoop of his. which was put away
and labeled jus. about a year ago, but
he made good deal of noise just the
same. and the stranger who tsrried at
the Harper last night would have been
very apt to have cracked smile had he
been told that the man with the big hat

In smooth weather this duty can be per-

prolonged an hour or two.
When the lamps have been.returned to

lieyed that they could stand the life longer
than this. In fact, many men throw up
their work as soon as they can get ashore.
Three members of the South Shoal crew
have, however, seen unusually long terms
of service-twenty- one, nineteen and seven

is considered. This is probably due to the

Autumn Thoughts.

Comes now the poplar's CLINT of gold,
TIE beach's flaming,
The bitterswcet from woodland fold
Its wealth proclaiming,
The ivy's autumn radiance
That lights the grove up,
While exc to man there comes a chance
To put the stove up.
The squirrel gnaws upon the shell
To grind the meat out,
The campaign paper gets as well
Its extra sheet ont;
The frog, etcetera, seek the trail
OF winter quarters.
While there's decadence in the sale
OF soda waters.
The fern its bleaching time begins
IN sylvan hsrbors,
The urchin perpetrates his sins
In fruitful arbors,
Thanksgiving thoughts are breaking out
In msnse and howell,
And folks begin to think about
The old snow shovel.

. New YORK, Oct. 81, 1S91-To the News
paper Press of the United States: The at
tention of the New York Associated Press
has been called to q circular said to have
been distributed by telegraph throughout the
country. and purporting to have been signed
by wv. NJ. Laffan, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the National Associated
Press" (who is also understood to be the
owner OF Laffans News Agency, containing
some statements that require correction
There has been no severance of the amica-
bic relations between the Western Union
Telegraph company and this association.
There was difference OF opinion as to the
charge for certain leased wires which
led to the suspension of their
use for a single night, but that
service, in a conference between the parties,
was at once restored. and mo disastrous re-
suits attended the difficulty or followed the
settlement.
This association has not received any Off
cial notice of the intended withdrawal of
any of its members. Only after q six
months notice could any withdrawal
become effective. Should any member thus
withdraw for any reason the change will in
Il way impair the efficiency of our organiza-
tion or the value of its service TO the public.
This association for long period OF years
has been faithful TO its Irust and can assure
all who are in any way connected with it
that they eau depend on 1t in the future as
they have in the past for the best news SER

Occidental Directors Judged Ma
Der Unable to Battle.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21.-To-night
the Occidental club was filed with spec
tators awaiting the contestants in the
glove match between Billy Maber,
the Australian, and Billy Mahan,
of San Francisco, which had
been arranged for tonight. The
directors of the club meanwhile were
discussing the advisability of calling
the match off. While Mahan was in the
ring waiting their decision, Maber in
his dressing room expressed his willing
ness to go on, stating that while he had
been attacked with fever two weeks
ago, which lasted some days, he had
been treated therefor, and felt as we'll
as he ever had since his arrival in Cali
fornia.
A majority of the directors. however.
apparently did not consider him in good
condition and physicians were called in.
As result OF their examination they
decided that Maber was not in condi-
tion. ana President Robinson entered
the ring and announced that the fight
was off, stating the winners part of the
purse would go to Mahan. Maber then
entered the ring and said he was will
ing to fight, but the directors of the
club had decided against him.

Cork May Be the Scene of Bloody
Row.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-Faction fights ara
almost of hourly occurrence in Cork, and
the excitement is growing to degree
that cannot, according to appearances,
long be unattended by bloodshed. The
Parnellites are furious and revengefuI,
and their opponents are hardly less ag-
gressive. The fight will be the fiercest
that Cork has seen for twenty years. and
all the leaders Of both parties will have
a share in it.
The police are doing extra duty and
find hard work in suppressing the street
fights. Davitt, O'Brien and the Nc
Carthyites generally are denounced
by the Parnellites, and their followers
retaliate in equally severe language
Then the shillelah comes into play.
CORK, Oct. 21.--Dr. Fitzgerald, James
O'Kely and William Redmond met
John L. Redmond at the station this
evening on his arrival. The Parnellite
members were accompanied by great

picturesque by occasional rows and the
frequent thud of the blackthorn.

TO START ANACONDA.
Haggin Will Build New Roads to
His Great Mine.

Haggin VIII Build New Roads to
His Great Mine.
BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 21.-Wfthin the
next ten days the famous Anaconda
copper mine will be in full operation.
Last spring the mine shut down. Two
reasons had been given for this. One
was that Haggin, believing that he
owned and controlled the bulk of cop
per in the world, closed down in order
to corner it. The other reason was that
the railroad which runs from Anaconda
over to Butte, distance of twenty-five
miles, had concluded to charge Haggin
its own rate for conveying the ore from
the mine at Butte to Anaconda and re-
turning the product for market from
Anaconda to Butte. THIS Haggin
would not consent to, and he closed the
mine. From what is considered pretty
reliable source, information has been
received that within the next ten days
1000 men will be put to work in the
construction of the new line from Butte
to the smelters. This done, new road
will be built from Boise City, the inteE-
ton being to extend it ultimately to the
Pacific coast.
