Resulted In Number of Rows at Pitts
burg Polling Places.
PITTsBURG, Nov. S.--The bitter feel
ing growing out of the factional fights
here resulted in a number of rows at
various polling places. In the second
precinct of the Bloody" Fifth ward a
dispute arose over tile refusal of Peter
Megraw, a Republican member of the
board, to receive a vote on a tax receipt
of 1891. Democratic Chairman Brennan
was called, and he insisted that the re-
ceipt was good until next May. This
enraged Megraw, who drew knife on
Brennan, but before he could use it he
was overpowered. Judge Stowe decided
that the man had right to vote on the
receipt.
In the Second district of the First
ward the Republicans claimed that the
Democrats refused to allow men sus-
pected of favoring their candidate for
sheriff, to vote A dispute arose, Coun-
Gilman McHugh struck Policeman Pat
Farrell, an ex-pugilist, on the nose,
drawing blood. Farrell then knocked
McHugh down, and general row
seemed imminent, when Police Magis-
trate Donahue appeared and closed the
polls. A force of officers were then de-
tailed to guard the polls and three hours
later they We're opened again.

INTEREST AT WASHINGTON.

Result of the Election Not Looked Upon
as Only Local In Significance.
WASHINGTON, Nov S.-.There has not
been for many years an ''off year. cleo
ton in which the leaders at Washington
have manifested as much interest as in
the one just passed. 1t has been felt by
Democrats and Republicans alike that
the verdict will be popular expression,
so far as local issues are not involved, OF
the people ON the finance question. In
Virginia, for instance, where the cam
paign of the Populists was almost solely
waged ON financial issues, the Democrats
were quite unable to gain the attention
of audiences by a discussion OF
tariff reform or other well known
tenets of the Democratic faith. In
Maryland the discussion turned largely
ON the same issue, and, indeed, the
statements of Democratic leaders gener-
ally agree that from the long financial
fight in congress and the final defeat OF
the silver men will come a
Serious DETECTION In Democratic Ranks
throughout the country. Even Western
congressman and senators who voted
steadfastly for repeal admit that
among their agricultural constitu

the apparent defeat of silver. Republi
| cans admit that the result of this elec
ton can hardly be accepted as a criterion
of the general elections year hence
when the financial discussion will have
lost some of its bitterness, and both par
ties will have better opportunity to de
clare themselves ON this embarrassing

CONFIRMED by BAKER.

Report of the Firing an American
Ship at Honduras Was Correct.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Secretary Ores
States Minister Baker, who was on
board the steamer Costa Rica at Am
apala, Honduras, when it was fired upon
by the authorities of the place because
she refused to surrender one of the pas
sengers to the Honduras government.
The Costa Rica was flying the American
flag at the time, and Minister Bakers
dispatch fully confirms the press report
of the affair.
The passenger about whom the trouble
arose is P. Bonilla, who recently led the
revolution in Honduras, but was defeat
ed by General Vasquez.
He Fled to Nicaragua
and with 800 of his adherents joined the
army of President Sarcassa, who was en-
gagged in an attempt TO quoll revolu-
ton. Bonilla had decided to leave Mica
| ragua in order to relieve the government
from all responsibility of harboring them.
He therefore sailed from Nicaragua for
Guatemala. Minister Baker and 100
other people were his fellow passengers
They arrived Sunday at Amapala, port
of entry of Honduras ON the Pacific
coast. In the afternoon the commander
of the port, Villa, demanded that Cap
tain Dow should surrender Bonilla
When the request was refused a threat
| was made to sink the ship, and it was
asserted that President Vazquez had
given orders to that effect. Villa, in
censed at the refusal to surrender Bo
nilla, gave the order to fire ON the shil

A government officer came ON board a

Factional Fights Also Caused Se-

burg.

NEW York, Nov. S.--At Gravesend,
suburb of Brooklyn, there was fierce
fight at the polls, in which the men ap-
pointed as poll watchers by their Repub-
lican general committee, We're assaulted
and very badly used, after which some
of them were arrested by Boss McKane,
who runs what is known as the Coney
Island district. The party accompanied
by Colonel Bacon, one of the counsel to
the Republican general committee, and
by Gaynor's law partners, Edward M.
Grout and c. I'll. Hyde, arrived at the
town hall few minutes before the
opening of the polls. They had scarcely
time to get ont of their carriages before
they We're set upon. Herbert Sworthly
was struck violent blow in the face
and DIR. Marshall had a portion of his
whiskers torn off. The Rev. Mr.. Kent
was knocked down and trampled upon,
and, together with Peter Rosenbeck, is
missing. Another one of the watchers
had his head cut and all of them are
more or less bruised.
One Watchers Story.
According to the story of one of the
watchers, the party were about to alight
from their carriages when Colonel
Bacon was accosted by McKane, who
remarked that he had been looking for
him. Colonel Bacon produced the in
junction which had been secured from
the supreme court and attempted to
serve it upon McKane. McKane re-
fused the papers and called his officers to
take Colonel Bacon into custody, which
was Immediately done. The rest of the
party were ordered to get out of town az
soon as possible.
The injunction restrained McKane and
his officers from preventing the watch
ers from entering the various polling
booths and remaining there throughout
the day and until the count was com
Dleted.
