TRAIN OF EXILES.
Marching to the DoleruI Accompaniment
of Clanl<lng Chains.


of Clanking Chains.
All travellers in Siberia desire to see
something of the criminal exiles, and
the author of From the Arctic Ocean
to the Yellow Sea" was no exception to
the rule. He had met and talked freely
with many prisoners-the greater part
OF whom seemed to him to be having
pretty comfortable experience, their
crimes being taken into account-but
had not yet seen q body of convicts on
the march. When, therefore, he was in"
formed that a detachment was on its
way from Tomsl1, he took conveyance
and drove out to meet it.
We had driven considerable distance
without seeing the slightest sign of life
on the deserted highway, when sudden
ly on the crisp frosty air distinguished
faint, distant sound, so peculiar and
weird that il at once attracted my at
tention, as it was evidently approach
ing us,
1t was not unlike tho noise which
would be produced by hundreds OF
small birds singing all at once, yet l
could see nothing of any sort anywhere
on the vast plain. AS we'll as | could,
with my limited Russian vocabulary, |
drew my drivers attention to it. To
him it was neither novel nor interest
ing; he knew what it was at once.
"The arrestanti are coming" he an
swered, briefly; and shortly after, on
ascending a rise in the road which had
concealed them from our view, there
came in sight big army of men coming
slowly along, and discovered that the
strange noise which had so impressed
me was produced by the heavy chains
they wore.
But then, alas! all preconceived illu-
sions vanished for it was a loathsome
and depressing sight, rendered doubly
so by the bright sunshine.
There was about it absolutely moth
ing of the poetic, such as had been
led to expect 1t was simply a huge
crowd of what looked lilze-and proba,
bly, was-the very scum of the earth,
for all races seemed to represented,
| making as villainous and evil-loolling q
lot OF men as one could possibly see. -

Democrats Have Majority OF Nlnoty--
May Possibly lie Increased by Two From
Rhode Island.
WARRINGTON, Nov. 81. According to
the latest returns the house Of repre-
sentatives of the Fifty-third congress
will be composed as follows: Repub-
licans, 1876; democrats, 300; populists,
z; total, 354--a democratic majority of
90. This does not count the two mem
bers to be elected from Rhode Island,
but the democrats claim them both.
There will be at least three contests in
the next house, with possibly more.
True, tho democratic candidate in Ida
no, who was deieatod by Willis Sweet,
has filcd his notice of contest and
so has John J. ONoil, democrat,
in the Eleventh Missouri district,
who claims that illegal votes were cast
for Mr.. Charles JOY the republican, to
whom the certihate was issued. Al
though no notice has yet been Aled, it
is understood that Donald McNAugh-
ton, democrat, in the Thirty-frEt New
York district, will contest the ssat OF
John Van Voorhis, and that j. Morris
Finn will eontest the seat of Samuel M.
Stephenson, republican, a member of
the present house. The Seventh South
Carolina district, known as the black
district, also promises its regular COM
test
The third party or populist vote will
not be strong in the Fifty-third con-
gress.
They arc given voting strength Of
seven, but this will not be manifested
on all occasions, since the populist
elected from the first district of
Colorado Is republican, and SO is Francis
Newlands, of Nevada, and generally
they may be counted upon as
acting with the members of that
party. McKeighan and KEN of
Nebraska are third party men
in the present house and were
elected to the ffty-third congress on
fusion ticket. They will go into the
Democratic caucus and act with that
party. Davis, Baker, and Simpson, of
Kansas, will as q rule be found in the
democratic column of votes on all
propositions which are divorced from
their peculiar notions of finance. 1t
will be seen that the republicans have
made gain of thirty-six members and
the democrats have lost fourteen.

A Balmacedist Plot Discovered.

VALPARAISO, Nov. 21,-An elaborate
plot has been discovered to burn down
many prominent houses in Santiago,
sack the Moneda, seize Capt. Goni and
a number of naval officers, and, if pos
sible, inaugurate a revolutionary move
ment. The plot originated apparently
in the seven regiments of the line, many
of the officers of which were known to
be in sympathy with Balmaceda's fol-
lowers. AS soon as the plot was dis
covered the ringleaders were put under

CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov 1o.--The
News and Courier has had an exhaust
i've examination made as to the condi-
tion of the cotton crop of the south. 1t
shows that the crop is short far beyond
the calculation of experts, and that tho
greaterpart of the crop has been picked
and rushed to market, and the late top
crop win amount to practically moth
ing. From these reports, which come
from the commissioners Of agriculture
OF various states, and from trust
worthy newspapers, it appears that the
