REGISTRATION OF WOMEN.
Chicago Fair Ones Who Are DESTROYS of
Voting at Elections.


CHICAGO, Oct. 21-The chief interest in
the registration of voters which began
yesterday centers in the action of the
women, who claim that under the new
law they should be allowed to register.
This is in spite of the fact that the election
commissioners and the county judge have
sent out printed instructions to judges and
clerks not to register any women-except
those naturalized prior to 1870. But the
women get behind the opinion of their at
torneys, who they say have as much right
to express an opinion on the subject as the
attorney of the board of election commits
sioners. So yesterday morning many
women who want to exercises the privi
lege of casting ballot for the candidates
for school superintendent..presen them
selves before the election officers.
The State of the Case.
The trouble is with the wording of the
law which was supposed to grant to wom-
en- the privilege of voting for school off,
GERS. 1t has been construed by the law
officers of the election board to require
that woman, to be allowed to vote, must
have been naturalized prior to 1870. The
women have been fighting this before the
board for week, but the board has stuck
to its decision. And another thing tie
women kick" about is the refusal of the
election commissioners to construe the
words male citizens in the law as in

Notwithstanding these decisions the

Russia Celebrating n Fight in Which She
Had Comparatively Little Glory.
LONDON, Oct. 2l.-Su. Petersburg was
en- fete yesterday from the most gorgeous
palaces to the most humble tenements,
for the car had issued decree that the
sixty-fourth anniversary of the battle of
Navarino, where, in 1927, the combined
British, French and Russian fleets under
Sir Edward Codrington annihilated the
Turkish and Egyptian navies, should be
celebrated with special pomp and signifi-
cauce 1t was made the occasion also of
the launching of three Russian ironclads,
one of them, the Navarino, being a battle
ship of immense size and power.
What the Turk Thinks About 1t.
A dispatch from Constantinople says
that the Turks feel very deeply the cele
bration by Russia of the fearful defeat
which the Turks suffered in this naval
battle. Among naval officers here the
celebration is looked upon as a piece of as
sumption on the part of Russia, England
and France having played q more con-
spicucus part on that occasion, when
the naval power Of Turkey was crushed
out forever, than the Russians. 1t is,
however, one of the few naval victories
in which Rusria has had any part, her
naval history generally being a monot
onous record of defeat.
True Indwardness of the Festival.
The celebration is looked upon, how
ever, as having another and more impor.
tant aspect-that of hostility TO Turkey
In view of the fact that Russia's share in
the victory was not of sufficient conse
quence to justify much rejoicing over, il
is considered that the car chose an occa
sion to make display to his people ant
to all the world of his dislike for the
Turk. and of ulalterable hostility to
ward the sublime porte.

ATLANTA, Oct. 2L- Governor Hill ar
rived here last night. His train stopped
at several stations en- route and he made
short addresses. At Salisbury he said
among other things: I'VE are opposed,
with you, to a federal force election bill
such as was sought to be passed in the last
congress. We believe with you that gal
liant and true men who, by their intelli-
gence, enterprise and fidelity have made
the south what it is today, should con-
tinue to govern it as they are governing it
now" The governor was received in the
city with great enthusiasm, and a public

GREATNESS,

But it's different with their clothes.
They are mostly born without clothes.
Nearly all have clothes thrust upon
them when they are small, afterward
thev have to achieve their clothes.
Some achieve good clothing and some
don't; it's owing to where they buy it.
Those who buy the London Clothing
Company's Clothing get the best. 1t is
easier too, to achieve the London Com
pany's clothing; it costs less. People
are getting weary of paying for the
name of having their clothes tailor
made when they can get them SO much
better of us for a great deal less money.
The London Clothing Company has
achieved it's reputation through intrln-
sic worth, and merits the esteem of the
People by its better values. We think
we have achieved the helghth OF excel
lence in our Fall Goods pattern style
and quality all the best Values better
than ever.

arrangements made to prevent surprise by

asked If the convicts will be returned to
the mines. eaid that they would not unless
the State authorities would guarantee
them protection. He said there was no
use in taking convicts there to be released
in o few days.
The prison inspectors to-day issued an
order calling for the return TO the main
prison of all prisoners serving terms for
serious crimes who are now at the branch
prisons. There were several murderers
among the convicts released at Coal Creek
and Oliver Springs. kilograms received
by the Governor report the capture in Ken
tucky and Tennessee OF about ninety

structed to return the convicts to the main
PRISON at Nashville and they would be paid
S25 for each.
About fifty of the Tennessee convicts re-
leased by the miners at Briceville and
Oliver have been captured In Kentucky
and returned to Tennessee. As coach
load was being transferred at Lebanon
junction to-day the officers saw two of the
fugitIves who had not been arrested, as
they were sitting at tire near the rail-
road. They undertook to arrest these and
put them with the others. The fugitives
resisted. and, in the fight. one was killed.
The other had q pair of pistols and escaped.
One thousand miners have returned to
work in the Coal Greek mines. The recent
trouble was at Briceville and Oliver

but the Coal Creek men left work and it
was feared would remain out. This is en-

coal famine was feared.
William Giles. q leader among the Oliver

afternoon by unknown persons at the post

ORDERED BACK TO CANADA.
Another Federal Court Decision in the Case Of
q Chinaman Who Crossed at Detroit.

DETROIT. Mich. Nov. 5.-Judge Swan to-
day handed down an opinion on the sub
ject of Chinese deportation, which is
perhaps the first complete Iruling upon tho
vexatious question. The case was that of
"Ching Sam," whose arrest was effected at
Port Huron on July for having been unlaw-
fully in the country under the Chinese
expulsion and prohibition act. The China
man was examined by q commissioner, and
he was found in possession of certificate
issued by the customs officer of Vancouv-
er. b. c., dated May q, 1891, permitting
him to return to Canada. 1t was also
shown that he had been before arrested at
Detroit, on June %. 1891, snd returned
to Canada by order of Commissioner
Graves. Upon the second appearance of
the Chi1aman he was ordered sent back TO
China under q ruling of the State Depart
ment to which was referred the construc-
tiOn of the law. In n very lengthy decision
Judge Swan reviews all the legislation upon
tho subject, and brief resume Of his de-
cision is to the effect that The order of the
Commissioners directing the deportation Of
Ching Sam TO China is reversed, and the
United States marshal is instructed to
cause him to be removed to Canada"

TACTICS OF THE OPERATORS.

Creating a Scare About Coal Famine and
Then whooping Up Prices.
While the miners are strongly organized
for fight, the fact is rapidly developing
that the operators also have very power
full combination. not only among them
selves but with all the wholesale and re-
tics of this combination developed very
rapidly yesterday. The plan included. first.
general scare about "coal famine;"
next, general advance of prices upon con-
sumers, and then an effort to hold the
miners responsible for any and all hard
shi ps the public might have to undergo.
The first step appeared in the Sentinel,
yesterday morning, followed by the News,
in the afternoon, in the shape of interviews
with operators and dealers predicting q
great coal famine. and telling how the pub
graph. from the News. will serve to show
how the scheme was worked:
August NJ Kuhn, of the Consolidated Coal and
Lime Company. in answer to query as TO the
visible supply of coal, this morning. said:
Goal is scarce-very scarce. There Is car OF
II here and there, but the supply in proportion
to the demand is but drop in the bucket. The
supply OF steam coal is already practically ex-
hausted and unless the strike is declared of it
looks TO me as though the manufacturing indus
tries OF Indianapolis that depend largely on
steam Will nave TO suspend, at least Dy saturday
night until the difficulty adjusted"
At the office OF A. b. Meyer the strlngency OF
the coal market as described by Mr.. Kuhn was
confirmed. 1t was stated that the railroads, see-
ing what was coming. have gobbled all the coal
in sight. Ii appears that the fact OF their being
common carriers and having contracts 10 carry

majority in the House. Boies's probable
plurality will be over 5000. This will carry

ties heard from he runs ahead nearly one

come the Democratic plurality on the head

Views OF English Newspapers.

LONDON. Nov. 5.-The Globe this even
ing says. referring to the elections just held
in the United States: They prove beyond
doubt that there is popular reaction in
favor of the Mckinley tariff His triumph
was the most striking feature of the cleo
tions. but 1t is doubtful if it was the most
significant The Republicans success in
other States can only mean that the tariff
first imagined. The mischief wrought the
British Industries will, moreover, help to
convince the American voter that it must
somehow be of good to himself. We should
thus make great mistake if we look con-
fidently for O Democratic triumph in 1899
and for the abandonment OF the prohibitive
duties"
The Pail Mall Gazette says that the re-
suit of the elections ''clears the field for q
distinct trial of the strength of Mr.. Harri-
son and Mr.. Cleveland, with strong prob.
ability that MIR. Cleveland will win."
