Governor Chase showed up to-day. He
looks very weary over his defeat. "Well,
it is over" he said, "and I'm glad it ia
would hate to have to go through it again.
But my faith in the Republican lparty and
its principles is just as strong as ever. I
believe Just as honestly as ever that its
principles are the true form of government
and will prevail in the end"
"What. do you consider as the cause of
the defeat?'
81 can not say. 1t could not have GER
tainly been the same in all parts One
thing that believe affected the result was
the fact that the Democrats went from
house to house telling the lower class that
if the Republicans won they would be de-
prived of the right of suffrage. They lied
about this Just as they did about the tin
plate business"
The Governor said that he did not belle We
that the Democracy would at once carry out
its principles 81 think the Democracy
will repeal the 10 per cent tax upon State
banks" said he. 81 believe that, but am
not sure of ii. / also believe that the party
will begin the agitation of the payment Of
Southern war claims"
"Well, Governor" said Secretary Rob-
erts, eve might as well get out a Thanks
giving proclamation.
'I don't think that really see much to
be thankful for" replied the Governor.

BILE for Possible Bloodshed.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 10-At 1:30 this
afternoon proclamation was issued by the
Governor, in view of the general strike,
requesting all peaceable citizens not to con-
gregate in crowds upon the streets, and to
disoountenance violence.
The strike may be declared off before
morning. The arms of the volunteer militia,
which is to augment the regular State
troops, arrived to-day, and all was in readi-
ness for march, but the gas and eIectr Ic
lights were started without any but police
protection, and the call was expected to
hinge upon the running of the street cars
This afternoon an injunction suit was
filed in the United States Circuit Court,
aimed against the Arbitration Committee
which ordered the general strike, as well
as the presidents of all the unions who
signed the call for general strike, and the
suit includes criminal proceedings against
the parties. The arrests will be made in
the morning, and q large amount for bail
will be required to secure the release of the
strikers. In addition to all this, the
Governor had the Arbitration Commit
and told them what he intended
doing on the morrow. He said they were
responsible for the crisis, and the RESPONSE
bility for any bloodshed would be upon
their heads. The committee promised to
convene the Amalgamated Council tonight
and decide the question of calling the strike
of. The deliberation is still going on.

PARIS, Nov. 10.-The position of the
Deacon case before the First Chamber of
Appeal is somewhat hazy. The laws de-
lays have a wide application in this court,
where an action on the list for hearing may
drag on for many weeks unheard If Mrs.
Deacon really wants her appeal to be heard,
it will be heard next Monday, as the
Abeille family possesses large influence and
is using it in her behalf If she desires to
gain time, she will be able to delay the trial
indefinitely.
The exact whereabouts of the child ab-
Quoted by Mrs Deacon from the convent Of
Our Lady of the Assumption is unknown.
There is no doubt, however, that the little
girl is near Paris, 40 on Saturday, when
Mrs Deacon's lawyers offered to surrender
her to Mr. Deacon, they said if he would
agree to the conditions he should have pos
session of her in three hours. Mr. Deacon,
1t will be remembered, refused to consent to
any compromise, being determined TO d.
vorce his wife. If the decision Of the Court
of Appeals is against Mrs Deacon, the pro-
ceedings can be further protracted by an
application for hearing by the Court Of
CassatIon. The real explanation Of her
move in bringing in an action for divorce
against the husband, is that she is tool of
the Abeille family. The members of the
family are still trying their utmost to an
noy and thwart Mr.. Deacon.

suit in New York City and Brooklyn intel
ligent Democrats are as much surprised as
am.
Il sincerely hope the Democrats will
have the Senate as we'll as the House and
President, and with it the entire RESPONSE
bility of legislation. We will then be able
to gauge the ability of the Democratic
party, and also its honesty. If it refuses in
its legislation the recognition to the South
which is considered in its platform, to-wit:
Free trade, destruction of the national
banking system, and restoration of the old
State banking scheme, there will be no
longer a solid South. If it resists the
Democratic demand for the free coinage of
silver its first assistant, the Peoples party,
will drop out. If, on the contrary, it car
ries into execution its platform, and legis-
lates its promises, the North will remit il
to the oblivion to which the party is fairly
entitled. 1t holds now the cards, and must
play its hands out.

LABOR In THE FIGHT.

Colonel Poorman Says the Worl1ingmen
Have Been Practically Bamboozled.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 10.-[SpeciaL J.
Colonel c. L. Poorman, Secretary of State,
who was defeated by A. j. Pearson for Con-
gress In the Sixteenth district by So votes,
according to the latest returns, stated this
evening that the astounding political result
is due to these three principal causes:
First-Democratic politicians have stead
lily and persistently asserted that the money
and Industrial policies of the Republican
party were in the interest of the rich and
against the interests of the poor, and that
under them the country was fast drifting
into two oclasses-millionaires and paupers.
Labor leaders have encouraged this view OF
things and created unrest and discomfort
among the labor classes.
Second-For years the advocates of free
trade have insisted that protection was ex-
clusively in the interest of capital and
worked an in jury rather than a benefit to
labor, enhancing the prices of products
without correspondingly advancing the
wages Of labor. In the past two years this
claim has been persistently pressed, and In
connection with it. the further one that even
Ii protection did help labor by taxing i'm.
porteo goods, the free admission Of foreign
labor more than counter-balanced all bene-
fits.
Third-Upon these points there has been
constant and earnest appeals to the preju-
dices of the labor population, and all fiuctu-
ations in prices, disturbances between labor
and capital, and every unfortunate incident
and accident, have been utilized to intensity
prejudice. Everywhere the effects of this
were visible among the working classes that
in sullen silence or outspoken discomfort in
dicated the purpose to have a change The
result was just as unexpected to the Demo-
Gratis as to the Republicans.
Hon. L. T. Neal. who injected the free
trade plank into the Chicago platform, was
here tonight, and is inclined to the belief
that his plank did the work all over the
country. Mr.. Neal will be candidate for

LONDON, Nov. 1O.-Gywenth Maude. a
girl OF 1S, was arraigned to-day on the
charge of stealing silver salvers and can
delabra from Sphinx & Son, the jewellers
who figured in the famous Osborne case.

address She lives with her mother in a
swell house in Hyde Park Gate, and they
have great number of servants The fam
lily is widely related to aristocratic tamil
lies
The Spinks, who appeared to prosecute
her, say that after selecting the sa1vers and
candelabrs she ordered that crests be en-
graved upon them. The order was filled,
and then, by direction OF the girl, the arti-
cles were sent to her residence. They had
not been paid for, but as soon as Gywneth
received them she pawned them. This is
not the only charge against the girl A
representative of fur company was in
court and he made charge against her Of
obtaining sealskin mantle, jacket and
muff without paying for them. The magis-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-Secretsry
Charles Foster was asked this afternoon for
an expression of his views as to the cause of
the overwhelming Democratic majorlties at
the recent election. The following state
ment embodies his replies to series of
questions:
There were three classes of people who
voted the Democratic ticket: One was a
set of manufacturers who got tired of labor
troubles and who came TO the conclusion
that free trade was better for them because
it would reduce wages, and thus compen-
safe for the reduction of the tariff Another
class concluded that the Mckinley bill was
too high. do not know what effect those
people had, but it was an excuse for such
people as MacVeagh and Gresham to turn
front The third was cheap labor. That
class thought the profits made by the manu.
facturers were not fairly distributed; that
proprietors got too much and they too
little.
''The school question affected Illinois and
Wisconsin. In fact, the Lutheran Church
made itself felt in the West When got
there 1 discovered trouble among the labor
ing men. They were talking about Home
stead and about Carnegie being to rich,
while they were poor. The Republicans
seem to have lost as many votes in Pennsyl-
vania as were lost in Ohio.
''The people generally voted for Cleve-
land because they did not believe the Demo-
Gratis would do what their platform said they
would. 1t is strange result in view of the
prosperous condition of the country. Every
interest, manufacturing and commercial, is
in, perhaps, the most prosperous condition
ever known. Labor was never so much in
demand, the cost of living never so cheap,
and failures were never fewer, yet in view
of this prosperity the people voted to have
a change, apparently not knowing when
they were we'll of.
'The administration is unassailable and
unassailed from Democratic testimony.
Our candidate possessed the confidence of
the country to an extent rarely accorded
President However, the majority of the
people will have their way, As good
American citizen. accept the result and
may say that am pleased, as my personal
comfort is now assured"

LONDON, Nov. ia post mortem ex-
animation of the body of the Duke of Marl-
borough was held this afternoon to deter
mine beyond any doubt the cause of his
death. 1t rev ealed that death was due to
calcareous degeneration of large vessel of
the heart The Dukedom will be the hesv-
lest dowagered in the peerage. The widows
of the sixth and seventh Dukes are still
alive. Next comes Lady Blandford, the
late Dukes first wife, who secured di-
vorce from him, and, lastly, the present
Duchess. The jointures of these four will
add to the drain upon the revenues of the
estate, which still reach e35, 900 yearly, but
which are heavily encountered.
The new Duke is physically contrast to
the general run of Churchills He is small
and slim, with neat figure. His features
resemble those of the first Duke of Marl-
borough. He has high forehead and an
aquiline nose. He is now at Trinity Col
lege, Cambridge University, where he has
proved an able student. At the same time,
he is clever polo and cricket player and
bold rider. He has something of his

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Sir Julian Psunce-

found my residence in Washington very

official duties with genuine satisfaction. I
have taken the interest in your election
that anyone takes who is interested in

tion, have never had to deal with any
other. have never met Mr.. Cleveland,
though, of course, it will be pleasure to
know one whom the people have chosen as
Chief Magistrate.
There are no open questions of particu
lar moment between the United States and
Great Britain at present. The Bering
Sea controversy is in process of settlement
through arbitration. 1 am glad that this
condition of affairs exists especially while
the administrations are changing The re-
every way satisfactory,
''Of course, the English people take an
interest in American politics, SO far as in
ternational commerce is concerned, but it is
not my place to discuss any phase Of Amer
lean politics"
The Minister was asked concerning the
results of the monetary conference at Brus-
sells 81 think no one can prophesy what
will be DONE" he said. "There Is such a
diversity of opinion upon the subject of
finance among fnanciers of recognized
authority that new light is awaited with
great interest, and so think that the con-
ference will give us more information than
We have ever possessed, and 1t will
certainly be used to the best posi-
BILE advantage. To establish a parity
of value between gold and silver, and
suppress, if possible, the fluctuations In
value of silver, is the ultimate obj ect of this
conference and monetary discussions, but
how to do it is the question upon which
able men disagree. The delegates from the
United States are exceptionally we'll
equipped in ability, and their arguments will
make an impression upon the assembly. I
have no opinion as to the character of the
decision which the conference may make,
if, indeed, any is made, but I think We
shall all have more valuable knowledge.
