BULLETS FLEW THICK
But Nobody Was Killed at the
 Homestead Riot.
STRIKERS Vs. NoN-UNIoN MEN

The Desperate Array in Which Seven
 Negroes Came Near Being Extermln
 ated by BlOOdthirsty CrOwd-Th'
 COlored Men Gams-MOrs DeputisI
 Asked For.
 HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. 1.-The peri od of comparative quietness which has pre- vailed in Homestead since the mi litia lief, has died out. The pent-up feelings of the strikers broke out afresh yesterday in ( riot, in which at least 50 shots were fired, but miraculously no person was killed, though a score were hit by the flying bull lets.
 A party of seven colored non- union men were on their way to their boarding house about 4:45 D. m. yesterday, when a man, supposed to be a striker, attacked two of the negroes, Charles Carroll and Fred Lewis. Lewis was knocked down.
 This was signal for large crowd to gather at the scene of the trouble.
 Lewis companions came to his rescue, and terrible riot took place between the colored men on one side, and the crowd, supposed to be all strikers, on the othe T side.
 The two sides fought desperately and fired their revolvers and slashed each other with knives at close quarters for several minutes, when the negroes made a dash through the crowd for their board ing houses.
 They were followed by the hooting and bloodthirsty crowd, which, by this time, numbered at least 2, 900, including many women and children. The crowd fired and threw stones at the fleeing negroes, and they in turn returned the fire on the crowd, and how so many escaped instant death is a miracle.
 The colored non-unionists living on Shanty Hill, hearing of the assault upon their brethren in town, were about to come down and rescue them. Over 500 of the colered men were ready to make an onslaught at a moments notice, and the coal and iron police had much difficulty in restraining them.
 Marion Conrad, non-unionist, owns 8 house above Ann street, on Fourth ave- nue. During the shooting 8 large crowd gathered in front of his house and when he appeared began to threaten him. Conrad is sworn in as a deputy sheriff and he stood in the door with 8 revolver in either hand and said that he would shoot the first man who entered the gate. Several deputies arrived, keeping the crowd back for an hour, when it dis persed.
 At least two dozen people were injured by flying missiles, but as far as can be learned none were killed.
 The seven negroes and a number of strikers have been arrested.
 Great excitement still prevails here and more deputies have been asked for.

TWO STATES STILL IN DOUBT.
OmcIal Count Must Determine the Result
 in California and Ohio.

Omcial Count Must Determine the Result
 in California and Ohio.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-The unex- pected closeness of the vote in California on the National ticket has thrown the result in doubt, although at one time there had been little question as to a Democratic victory. The State outside of San Francisco has evidently gone Re- publican by a plurality variously esti- mated at between 6,000 and g, 900. City returns are still incomplete but thus far Cleveland has plurality of about 6, 800. It is yet difficult to judge whether Cleve- lands plurality in San Francisco will be sufficient to overcome the Republican plurality in the State.
 The complexion of the Legislature is also uncertain. Neither party can have more than a small majority on joint bal lot, although the indications favor the Democrats.
 The "Chronicle" Rep) claims the
 State for Harrison by 2,OO0, while the Democratic State Committees figures in. dicate 8 victory for Cleveland by 800. The official canvass will have to be awaited to ascertain the result. COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 1.-The Ohio tangls is as complicated as ever. Both sides claim the State, including electoral vote and State officers, but each side con cedes one electoral vote to the other. Ore
 thing is now apparent. It will require
 the official count to decide and in this the Republicans have the advantage, if any is to be gained therefrom. The Republicans claim the Secretaryship | of State by 1,055 and the election of 22 1 out of 23 electors by 917.
 The Democrats gave out no figures but | they still adhere to the claim made in their former statement that Col. w. A. | Taylor is elected and that 22 electors out | of 23 are chosen for Cleveland. Nothing butsthe official canvass will in- duce them to surrender.

''Lord Beresford" Plying His Trade Ever

"Lord Beresford" Plying His Trade Even
 from Prison.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-'Lord Charles who is now wearing 8 convict suit in Georgia State prison, is plotting more blackmail and scandal from behind prison bars. A note was sent to the newspapers yesterday by prominent lawyer stating that Beresford was endeavoring to sell to papers in New York, Chicago, Philadel phia and Pittsburg, a most scurrilous manuscript, refecting upon the honor of two we'll known, wealthy society ladies of the metropolis.
 The lawyer was seen at the Union League Club by a reporter, and he ex- plained that some wealthy ladies received a letter from Beresford few months ago in which he said that unless he was paid $2, 500 he would cause the publication of an article most damaging to their repu tations
 The ladies put the matter in the law yer's hands and he it was who caused Beresford's s arrest in Albany on the charge which eventually landed him in a Georgia prison.
 The lawyer says that he did not make any charge of attempted blackmail against Beresford, as he did not wish to give the names of the ladies for publication, and, as Beresford was going to prison he thought that would end the matter.
 Beresford, now seeks, he added, to strike at these rich ladies through threat ening to publish cruel and untrue stories about them.

CABINET SPECULATION,
Whitney Said to be Slated for the State
 Department-OtherR Rumors.


 NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-It has been de- cided to keep open the Democratic National Headquarters for another week at least and probably until after the in- auguration of Mir. Cleveland, March 4, next.
 The National Democratic Campaign Committee will act in an advisory ca pacity-a sort of temporary Cabinet-to Mir. Cleveland from now till inaugura- tion day. The committee will meet some day this week, and among other things will discuss the advisability of maintain ing permanent headquarters in New York until March f. The committee may en- gage rooms at some hotel, in all likeli- hood the Hoffman House, it is said.
 Ex- Secretary Whitney and the other Democratic chiefs will be in daily con- sultation with Presi6ent-elect Cleveland.
 Regarding MT. Whitney, rumor has it that he is to be the Premier of President Clevcland's Cabinet. The same rumor, says the report comes directly from the Pres1dent-elect to gentleman high in the party's councils, and adds: Ben jamin T. Cable, of Illinois. will be ten- dered the Naval portfolio"
 Rumor also has another interesting re- port about Mir. Whitney. It makes him a candidate for the Presidency in 1896, and says that therefore he twill prob ably accept no office under the new Ad- ministration."
 Three prominent names are mentioned for the United States District Attorney ship. They are those of Nelson Smith, l, Committee; Macgrane Coxe and Daniel O'Connell

A GHASTLY RELIC.
Tho John Brown scaffOId Now on It's Way
 to the Worlds Fair.

Io the W IT Alrs
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The scaffold upon which John Brown was executed at Harper's Ferry, w. Va, has arrived here for shipment to the Worlds Fair Exposi- tion. The timbers are in a good state of preservation though they have served the purposes of 8 porch to the resi- dence of a son of the man who built the scaffold.
 The gallows itself is plain, substan- tial affair, which would attract little at tion apart from its historical interest. The timbers are evidently pine, although they have been painted over at some later period to preserve them. The two up- rights are beams six inches square and the crosses of the bar iS in proportion. Even the screws with which it was put together have been preserved, and in a remarkable manner.
 John Brown was executed Dec. g, 1859

A "vuLGAR" ANSWER
So Gail HamiltOn Characterizss the Reply
 to the NIaybrick Petition.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The celebrated international case of Mrs. Maybrick, the young American confined in Waking prison, on life sentence for the murder of her husband near Liverpool, several years ago, is the subject of renewed agi- tation. Gail Hamilton, the we'll known writer, has taken a deep interest in the case, and it was largely through her efforts that an immense petition was sent to Queen Victoria asking that the un- fortunate woman be pardoned and re- leased from prison.
 The petition was based on the assertions that no proof was adduced on the trial to connect her with the crime charged, and further, that the commits sion of the crime itself was not proved This petition was signed by Mrs. Harri- son, the wives of the members of the Cabinet, including Mrs. Blaine. and many prominent ladies all over the country.
 It was forwarded to England and ulti- mately found its way to the office of the Home Secretary. The petition received 8 semi-official character by being for warded through the State Department and the United States Legation in Lon don, and the response to it was communi- cated direct to this Government by the British officials.
 This reply, which has not been made public, is reported to be exceedingly caus- tic, so much so, in fact, as to cause Gail Hamilton, in her last letter on the sub ject, to refer to 1t as 'senseless, vulgar, and brutal insolence towards friendly republican nation pleading for its own citizens."
 The response is said to characterize the petition as the most impudent paper that ever found it's way to the office of the Homo Secretary and wholly unprece deNtad

The President Has Not Spoken,

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA. - President Harrison authorizes the statement that recent publications purporting to be in terviews with him, in which he is repre- scented as giving his views upon the elec- tion, are entirely unfounded and pure in ventions. When he is ready to speak upon the subject he will do so in his own way, one that will be convincing to all readers of the correctness of the state n1ents made.

That's an exchange, and a fair exchange is no robbery. This is the reason for ex- changes. Summer has been ex- changed for autumn, and that means that it's time for you to exchange your light suit for one of our heavy weight suits. Have you seen the suits we are selling for SIP? Can't call them an even exchange, for we are giving you more than SIP worth of clothing for your money, We like to give our customers extra values, it makes them talk.

COTTON AND WOOL INDUSTRIES.

The Financial Chronicles annual review
shows that the aggregate consumption OF
cotton in the United States within the last
year has been 2,S06, All bales of 500 pounds,
against 2,530, 9i6 in the previous year. The
rate Of increase is 11.2 per cent In the
same year Great Britain lost Sc per cent in
consumption of cotton. The United States
is rapidly coming up with Great Britain In
the cotton industry. the consumption for
1892 in Great Britain being 1850. 600, against
3, 10000 in the United States. For pur-
poses Of comparison the weight of bales in
the comparative table is 400 pounds. Ten
years ago British consumption was 20 per
cent greater than in the United States; now
il is only q per cent, with the British losing
and the United States gaining more rapidly
than at any former period. 1t is not i'm
possible that the close of the present CEN
tury will find the United States leading in
an industry in which for a long period Great
Britain led the world.
The wool industry seems to be even more
prosperous. The sales OF raw wool at the
three chief markets-Boston. Philadelphia
and New York-since May 10 have been
124.364.62i pounds. against s4,635, 7S6 for
the corresponding part Of last year. The
gam Is ~ per cent, assuming that M more
stock is being carried than year ago. If
larger stocks have been laid in than fo--
merly it must have been in anticipation
Of larger orders for goods 1t would per-
haps be well for some free-trade advocate
10 explain how the increase in these and
other industries Is injurious to the United
States. The fact cannot De explained away.
All the free-trader can do is to show that it
is better for our people to buy cotton and
WOODEN goods abroad than to convert the
raw material into finished goods In our own
