AN EXTRA SESSION.
Talk About COnveniug the Lower House
Immediately After Inauguration.

Talk About Conveniug the Lever House
Immediately After Inauguration.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Among the
immediate consequences of the verdict at
the polls the strong probability of the
Fifty Third Congress being called in ex-
ira session Immediately after Inaugural
tion is already discussed here.
An extra session of the Senate is
always called at the beginning of new
administration, to confirm the Cabinet
officers and the new diplomatic represen-
tatlves of the United States abroad. But
the present election having turned on
questions of domestic policy, 1t is obvious
to experienced political leaders of all
parties that an extra session of both
houses of Congress win almost inev itably
result.
Secretary of the Treasury Foster
among others admits this-the party he
says, challenged the Judgement of the
country on the Mckinley bill and the
result must be accepted as the work of
the will of the people, that a different
policy shall be put INTO effect
Ex- Secretary Bayard writes to a friend
here to like effect, adding that the people
will expect this to be done without delay.
President Harrison, it is stated, has
determined to leave untitled vacant
missions to Italy, Portugal and Switzer-
land ;also the assistant secretaryships of
the Treasury vacated by Msssrs. Crounse
and Nettleton.
Ex-Chairman Carter it is thought may
return to the land Office which he vacated
to take charge of the campaign and hold
it for the remaining 100 days of Mr. Har-
rison's administration if he so desires
1t is stated that with the single excep-
tion of Secretary Rusk all the members
of the Cabinet had intimated to the Pres
ident their intention of resigniug on the
fourth of March, hence their plans will
not be materially disarranged.

Republicans a majority of three Jon joint

Hollands Precinct South Carolina.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Noy. 11.-Details Of
the election affray Of Tuesday at Hol-
lands store precinct, Anderson county,
show that three men were killed and sew
eral wounded, all whites.
1t appears that r. G. Carter, the Re-
publican Supervisor, and James Earle, a
Democrat, became involved in a political
quarrel Just outside of the house in which
the voting was going on.
Carter pulled his pistol and fired at
Earle, but missed him and hit Columbus
Green, the Democratic manager, who
came to the door to see what the trouble
was.
Green was killed instantly, the ball
passing through his heart. The missile
struck him in the stomach, but glanced
around and didn't go through.
Earle then began firing, and both men
emptied their weapons.
Carter went behind the store to reload.
Earle ran through the house and picked
up u shotgun and poured the contents
into Carter
During the fusilade three hystanders
were wounded but not seriously.
Carter was terribly wounded, and died
a few hours afterward.
Carter came to Anderson county from
Georgia several years ago. He was g
desperate character, and had killed {
man once before,
A dispatch just received from Ander
son says Earle died last night.
The three dead men leave families.

COLUMBUS, Nov 10.-A telegram from
Bellaire states that Col. Poorman, the
Republican candidate for Congress in the
10Th district, comedies the election of A.
]. Pearson by plurality of 200. In the
Ninth, or Toledo district the result is
still in doubt, the democrats claiming the

necessary to decide the contest.
Aside from the Toledo district each
party is now sure of ten Congressman
from this State.

in the 18th district, was fixed at
2, 500 and Tom l. johnson OF the 2lst
district, which was counted upon as Re
publican by !, 900 majority.
In the 9th district, which is claimed by
both sides, the Republicans were Supposed
to have a normal plurality OF at least
1,700. ... r-
Chairman Farley, Of the Democratic

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Nov. 11.-William
f. Keck, the murderer, who was to have
been hanged at noon, was found dead in
his ce II here yesterday morning, Every
thing was ready for the hanging,
The doctors who made the post-mortem
examination found no traces of poison,
and swore that death was caused by nerv-
GUS exhaustion.
A coroner's jury was impaneled, and
after hearing other witnesses, including
prison officials, returned the following
verdict:
"That William f. Keck came to his
death at Lehigh County prison, Allen
town, Lehigh county; that the cause of
death was nervous prostration superin-
duced by the fear and terror of execution
imminent"
The crime for which Keck was to have
made expiation was the murder Of VIM
Nipch, aged ~, and his wife, Jeanette,
aged 90, at Smoketown, nine miles north
of Allentown, on the afternoon of We'd
nesday, Nov. 1S, 1891.

He May Decide to Take Up His Resi-

BosroN, Nov. ills it true that Presi-
dent Harrison talks of taking up his
residence in BostonN asked reporter of
j. r. Mckee, the Presidents son-in law.
1T is too early TO reply definitely"
said Mr. Mckee, but if the President
leaves Washington and if the efforts of
myself and Mrs. Mckee can prevail he
may come.
"He was, up to a short time ago, at
least, determined to return to Indianapo-
lis at the close of his official career, where
almost his whole life has been passed.
The President was informed by the
doctors several months ago that his wife
could not live, and until her death of
course her condition engrossed the whole
attention of the family. Any considera-
tion Of where he would reside in the
event OF her death was not TO be
thought of.
with man at his age, however, IL is
greatly matter of associations, aud it
would be hard for him to leave Indian
apolis for which he has always had
great liking and go to another place
where associations would be new and
perhaps entirely different from those in
the old home"

TROOPS BEING ARMED IN HASTE,

A Secret Compact Entered into to over

PANAMA, Nov 11.-According to ad-
vices from Chilli war is imminent between
the Argentine Republic and Peru on one
side and Chilli on the other. The advicss
say:
"Peru is perfectly we'll armed, and her
forces have recently received 100, 200
Mannlicher rifles OF the latest system,
with many other formidable machines OF
war A Chilian gentleman, just from
Peru, states that the approaching war
affords the staple Of conversation, and a
pretense of friendship is only to gain
time.
'In the Argentine Republic vigorous
recruiting of both native and foreigners
is being prosecuted, and the government
is arming the troops with feverish haste.
"There is no longer any doubt Of =
secret compact against Chilli between the
two republics and they are only waiting
a caSus belli to throw one army into Tara
paca and another upon the southern from
tier, while strong skirmishing parties
will hArass this country from the Cor

sion, and has ordered the steamers of the

NEW ORLEANS STRIKE.
The Governor Takes Command OF tn
Crescent City.

The Governor Takes Command OF the
Crescent City.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov 1.-THE Governor
has taken control of the situation.
The city authorities practically ad.
mitted their inability to maintain the
peace, and last night the Governor is
sued proclamation in which he says
that the sh utting down Of the gas and
electric light works has given criminals
an incentive to ply their vocation in dark
ness.
The Governor calls upon citizens not
to congregute upon the streets, and says
that all the power vested in him shall be
extended to preserve the peace and good
order OF the city.
The mayor issued q proclaim nation this
morning calling upon all good citizens TO
present themselves at the City Hall to oe
sworn in as special policemen. Every
military company in the State is under
arms and ready to respond to a call for
duty, and companies are organizing all
over the State to come here on special
trains should their services be required
Tine situation in the general strike
is unchanged this morning. The fact
that the common laboTers are still at
work is regarded as sign of weakness
on the part of the strikers. Every effort
has been made to make the crew men
and their allies quit work but the men
have calculated on the season of disaster
which would follow the turning of cotton
into some other channel ard refuse to be
called out. The men in oGher branches
have consented TO idleness.
The strike Of freight handlers has at
last affected the business of the mer-
chants to a serious extent, but the rail
road officials have taken very firm stand
and have given the strikers notice that
they must return to work at once or lose
their places. The railroads have a mum
ber Of men in short run of the city, and
will not temporize much longer.
II they are compelled to put in new
set Of freight handlers they will not only
bring all the men they require, but will
assist the merchants in importing labor
ers to take the places Of all strikers,
and by tomorrow there will be ample
! protection.
The plan is to increase the force of the
militia. About 100 men are available,
but such a force could not do much in
case of a general liot. The merchants
will organize an auxiliary force of sew
eral thousand men, aud these will bS
drilled and armed, and ready to take
the field in a short time.
Another plan of attack decided upon is
to file suits against the labor leaders for
conspiriar to ruin the business of some
institut i which would be selected, sc
that in Cas-, ol trouble the United States
Marshal could be called upon to aid il
the punishment.
