HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. 14.-Tho peri cd
Of comparative quietness which has pre-.
vailed in Homestead since the mi litia left
has died out. The pent-up feelings of the
strikers broke out afresh yesterday in g
riot, in which at least 90 shots were fired,
but miraculously no person was killed,
though a score were hit by the flying bull
lets.
A party of seven colored nom union
men were on their way to their boarding
house about 4;45 p. M. yesterday, when a
man, supposed to be striker, attacked
two of the negroes, Charles Carroll and
Fred Lewis. Lewis was knocked down.
This was a 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 +
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
bloodthirsJy crowd, which, by this time,
numbered at least 2 00O, 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 miracle.
The colored non-unionists living on

Of the colered men were ready to make an

he appeared began to threaten him.
Conrad is sworn in rs a deputy sheriff

Several deputies arrived, keeping the
crowd back for an hour, when it dis

AT least two dozen people were injured
by flying missiles, but as far as can be
learned none were killed.

Great excitement still prevails here and

THE PLOT AGAINST SIMPSON.


TOPEKA, Kas., Nov a. The biggest
sensation connected with the late Kansas
campaign has been made public. tt il
the public confession Of L. S. Harvey,
Assistant-Secretary of the Peoples Party
Campaign Committee.
Harvey had been charged with giving
out secrets of the committee, and TO de.
feud himself, he exposed the plot which
was arranged in Topeka to have an at.
tempt made to assassinate Jerry Simpson.
Harvey says the parties to the scheme
were w. G. Jones, Chairman oflthe Demo.
cratic State COMMITTEES; Briedenthal,
Chairman of the Peoples party, and Jerry
Simpson. The object was to create sym
pathy for Simpson and aid in his election.
'lhe plan" says Secretary Harvey,
was to have Simpson return to his dis
trict and be waylaid and beaten and
bruised in the pretended effort to assas-
sinate him. Letters were to be found
with regard to the employment of man
to murder him, and the whole was to off
set Southern outrages and create sympa-
thy for him.
During the discussion of this scheme
Jerry objected to being beaten and
bruised up, but was talked out of the
ishment, but insisted that the fellow who
did the pounding must not carry it too
far"
Mr.. Harvey further says that owing to
the blunder of Simpsons district chair
man the letters Offering 81, 600 reward to
the man who would murder Simpson
were found, and the sham attempt at
murder was prevented.
When Gen. Weaver was here Chair.
man Briedenthal urged Harvey to hire
some one to walk beside Weavers car
riage and pelt him with eggs, so that the
Outrages in the South might be repeated
in this State, the object being to place
the blame on Republicans.
The exposure by Harvey has created
a deal of excitement here, and many
threats are made against him. He went
to his home, 10 miles from Topeka, yes
terday, and a telegram was sent him not
to come to Topeka.

TWO STATES SILL IN DOUBT.
omoial Count Must Determine tho Result
i'm California and Ohio.

in California and Ohio.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14,-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 5000 and 8, 600. City
returns are still incomplete but thus far
Cleveland has plurality Of about ., 500.
1t 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 u small majority on joint bal
lot, although the indications favor the
Democrats.
The "Chronicle" (Rep) claims the
State for Harrison by 1000, while the
Democratic State Committees figures in.
dicate a victory for Cleveland by 800
The official canvass will have to be
awaited to ascertain the result.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 14.-The Ohio
tangle is as complicated as ever. Both
sides claim the State, including electoral
vote and State officers, but each side con-
oedes one electoral vote to the other. One
thing is now apparent. 1t 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 ,055 and the election of %
out Of % 3electors 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 % electors out
of % are chosen for Cleveland.
Nothing but.the official canvass will in
duce them to surrender.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA Russell B. Har.
rison, son of the President, is stopping at
the Piazza Hotel A newspaper CORE
spondent asked him whether there was
any truth in the report that his father
intende TO live in Boston after he re.
tired from tbe White House.
he stated tnat the President would
return to indianapolis and pass the re-
mainder OF his days among his associates
and friends. He spoke feelingly of the
great family affection and intimated that
his father was not at all disappointed by
the result of the election because he could
retire to quiet life
He did not care to speak at length
upon the result of the election, but added
81 think my father is proud of the good
showing made in Indiana. Two years
ago the State gave the Democrats a
majority Of 10, 900, and now they carry it
by 5000, showing Republican gain of
II, 900 1t was not even doubtful
State, for the Democrats had carried it
last fall.
"Other States that were conclusive ly
republican until the election proved the
contrary are the ones that cause surprise.
Look at Ohio, which gave Mckinley a
majority of 20, 900 or more when he was
elected Governor, and which has always
been considered Republican State in
national years, and consider the great
revolution wrought there. In view OF
the overwhelming change of votes in
that State, certainly think the President
has cause to be proud of his own State
and the great gains he made in two Years.

PLOTTING MORE sLAcKMAIL.


"Lord Berssford" Plying His Trade Even
from Prison.
NEW York, Nov. 14-"Lord Charles
Beresford," the talented young scamp
who is now wearing a convict suit in a
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 ia
papers in New York, Chicago Philadel-
phia and Pittsburg, a most scurrilous
manuscript, rejecting upon the honor of
two well known, wealthy society ladies of
the metropolis.
The lawyer was seen at the Union
League Club by reporter, aud he ex-
planned that some wealthy ladies received
a letter from Beresford a few months ago
in which he said that unless he was paid
81, 800 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 arrest in Albany on the charge
which eventually landed him in 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.

A "vuLeAR" ANSWER.
30 Gail Hamilton CharRoterizes the Reply
to the Maybriok Petition.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-The celebrated
international case OF Mrs Maybrick, the
young American confined in Waking
prison, on a life sentence for the murder
of her husband near Liverpool, several
years ago, is the subject Of renewed agi-
tation. Gail Hamilton, the well known
writer, has taken 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 sdduced 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.
1t was forwarded to England and ulti-
mately found its way to the Office of the
Home Secretary. The petition received
semi-oflicial character by being for
warded through the State Department
and the United States Legation in Lon
don, and the response to it was cOmmuni-
Gated 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 it as "senseless, vulgar,
and brutal insolence towards a friendly
republican nation pleading for its OVID
citizens"
The response is said to characterize the
petition as the most impudent paper that
ever found its way to the Office of the
Home Secretary and wholly unprece
dented

Two worLlnGmsn murderously Assaulted

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Nov. 14.-Two
Swedes employed at the reservoir in West
Hartford were way laid at the foot of Tai
colt Mountains at a late hour Saturday
night. One was shot and not expected
to live. He said his companion was
stoned to death, and dragged into the
woods. The cause OF the assault was
undoubtedly robbery as both men were
robbed of their wages. A general alarm
was at once sent out by the police.
