To Protect Citizens in Their Rights.

+. To Protect Citizens in Their Rights.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November 5.-Acting
Attorney General Aldrich has made an i'm
portant statement as to the authority of the
United States deputy marshals to supervise
elections, when he announced that all per-
sons who attempted to interfere with those
officers would bring themselves within the
scope of the criminal statutes of the United
States, regardless of whether or not they act
under state or municipal statute, and that
any such interference will be vigorously
prosecuted. statement denies the doc
trine of the supremacy of the state over the
United States in the matter of elections, and
says the impression that the federal govern
ment is foreign power, should be oolit-
Grated.
There will be no interference with rights
of citizens in voting, but they will DO pro-
tected in rights at whatever cost.

Brighter Cattle Prospects.

Brighter Cattle Prospects.
KANSAS CRY, KAN, November 5.-The cat
tie situation seems to grow brighter and
brighter and the feeling at the yards is moro
cheerful than for months. There has been
an improvement in all kinds of cattle tho
past week. But the most marked advance
has BEEN in cornfed steers-a feature that is
of particula: interest to the farmer, a. it is
bore, or rather in this class of cattle, that he
must make his money this winter. There
wore several sales of choice heavy cattle
made at s. SO@4 g per cwt., and the indi-
cations are that with the disappearing of
Western cattle from the market there will
be still further appreciation in native ship
ping steers. And hogs and sheep are both
bringing good money, SO the dark hour with
stockmen seems to have been passed and
their sky once more shows silver lining.

A Mile in Forty-seven Seconds.


NEW YORK, November 3.-For the purpose
of discovering what style of machine would
be best adapted for hauling fast trains to

of the Pennsylvania railroad recently made
q mile on the Jersey Meadows. The engines
we're from the different parts of the system
between New York and Pittsburg. Each en-
CINE dlew two cars. They started from the
terminal station at Jersey City. The Bald
win compound and the Johnny Bull, an
English engine, demonstrated their utility
rs drawers of heavy trains, but did not show
up SO well on speed for mile. as they covered
the distance in sixty-three and sixty-five Sec
onds, respectively.
The Schenectady engine did the mile IN
just fifty-three seconds, which is equal to
seventy-two miles an hour. This was con-
sidered good time, but the 'sPennsylvania's

failed and the mills at Ashton-on-Tyne are
closed. The long threatened crisis is on and
1000 operatives will be idle unless some
thing unforeseen should happen.
In commenting upon the outlook the Pail
Mall Gazette says it has no doubt that the
heavy tariffs on cotton goods abroad is at
the bottom of the difficulty. II Mr.. Harri-
son is elected there 10 no chance of better
opening in the United States. Even If Mr..
Cleveland is elected a reduced duty on Brit

CONFLICT.
Opinions About Election SUI
peryision Radically Differ.
to Marshals Arc Met With Orders by
Governors to Arrest Marshals and
Superyisors-Trouble Ahead.

New York, November 4.-Attorney Cen
eral Miller's circular of instructions to mar
shaIs and supervisors, following in detail
similar instructions, sent out under Mr..
Cleveland's administration, and upheld by
Justice Bradley's decision, has brought out
from Lieutenant Governor Sheehan, of New
York, an opposing order, in which be says
that federal supervisors have no night to en-
ter within the election booths and directs
sheriffs to arrest any federal deputy or su-
pervisor who shall attempt to do %. He di-
reefs that they be kept out of the inclosure
where books and ballot boxes are.
It is believed that under this authority
election officers of this city will make q
stubborn resistance to the federal officials,
if they entrench upon the lines he has Of
ficially marked out in opposition to tho di-
rections contained in the attorney generals
circular, issued under Bradley's decision.
That this outcome is anticipated by the fed
eral officials in this city is evidenced by the
fact that United States Marshal Jacobus of
this city, sent telegram to Acting Attorney
General Aldrich, calling attention to what
he designated as the 'infammatory procla-
nation of Lieutenant Governor Sheehan,"
in regard to the presence of federal super
visors at polling booths. Aldrich responded
that he had nothing to say about the proc!a-
nation, except to refer to the policy of the
government on this question as outlined in
the instructions issued to marshals, super
visors, etc. He telegraphed Marshal Jacobus
to be governed by the instructions contained
in that circular. It has been ascertai1ed
that law officers in the department of justice
at Washington carefully examined the stat
utes and opinions rendered IN the cases ans
ing out of the alleged violation of the cleo
ton statutes before Attorney General Mil
ler's circular was issued.
MONTGOMERY, A1A.-A. L. Wood, chair
man of the democratic campaign committee
of Dallas county. telegraphed General
campaign committee, that w. B. Walker,
United States marshal of Alabama, had ap-
pointed United States marshals to superin-
tend the county election. General Shelly
telegraphed Wood that the appointments
were illegal except IN cities with more than
10000 people, and instructed him to have
the sheriff appoint deputies and arrest dep
uty marshals if they undertook to interfere
with the election.
United States Marshal Walker said: 81
appointed deputy marshals for Dallas county
at the instance and request of reputable citi-
zens of that county. l defy any one to ar
rest or interfere with any deputy who wears
the badge of deputy marshal on election
day."
LITTLE Rock, ARK.-Judge N. M. Rose,
Arkansas member of the democratic national
committee, has issued instructions to state
election officers outside of this city to cause
the sheriff to arrest any United States dep
uty marshals who might undertake to assume
control of voting precincts or interfere with
the election.

ELECTION EFFECTS.
Multitudes Diverted From
Trade to Political Activity;
Yet thers IA been an Enormous Volume
Of Business-The People Arc Buy.
Ing More Goods Than Ever Before
Money Somewhat Closer.

NEW YoRK. November 7.-R. q Dun d
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Even in the last week before the presiden-
tial election business has continued very ac-
tive, indeed the volume is far beyond any
precedent for q similar period. Tho COM
ing election has plainly diminished business
in two ways: the multitudes have been
diverted from trade to political activity and
many more have decided to postpone trans
actions until the political uncertainty has
been removed. The fact that even under
such circumstances trads has been in enor-
nous volume shows how powerful ID the I'M
petus toward activity and expansion. The
people IRE clearly buying more goods than
ever before, and in some branches manufac-
turers are realizing sharp advance in prices.
Money is closer at some of the western
points, but nowhere is a stringency seen and
apprehension Is to the immediate future.
Wheat touched the lowest point ever known
in this market, 7315 cents. The receipts at
the western points are still enormous.
Though this week it has averaged q little less
than I, 5OO, 00O bushels daily. The exports
have much increased and the recovery in
price to 141f has resulted. but the decline Tor
the week is still ~ cents.
Corn hiss fallen cent with moderate move
ment, but oats is cent higher.
The sales of cotton have amounted to more
than a million bales and the price advanced
Is. Coffee is &c lower, and hogs also. while
lard is nc stronger and oil 1asc higher.
Speculation is not very active except in cot
ton. The iron business improves everywhere
and unsoId socks are fast disappearing.
Western competition depresses the plates,
but for the industry as a whole, the tone has
distinctly improved. The demand for wooden
goods is active for the season. Cotton goods
at former and in some lines higher price.
Boot and shoe factories are surprisingly busy
for the season, the shipments for the week
exceeded last years per cent Nothing seems
to foreshadow a money difficulty, and VII b
colder weather and political uncertainty re-
moved, great business is anticipated.
Tbs business failures the past week were
23S compared with 1877 last week.
