What the Result of the Settlement of the
Silver Question and the Election Means to
business.
New York, Nov. 13-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: The
turn of the tide has come. Since the
elections there has been Il distinct inn
provement in business, and particularly
in manufacturing There is some in
crease in actual transactions, and much
more in the tone of business. Men OF
all parties feel that there is ground for
greater confidence, the silver question
being put definitely out of the way,
and the chance of disturbing action in
other respects being lessened, while
the right of the people to rule their
rulers has been vindicated. While it is
yet too early to look for great changes
there is already distinct improvement
in the demand for manufactured pro-
ducts since the action on the silver
bill, some increase in the output of pig
iron and in sales of wool, in the build
ing trades in several cities, and the
failures of the week latest reported
show lower liabilities. In brief, the
recovery which began when the silver
repeal bill passed continues with in
creased strength.

MEXICAN REVOLUTION.

City of Juarcz Excited, Fearing an Attack
Tho Insurrection Movement Growing.
Ell PAso, Tex, Nov. 13.-The city of
Juarez, Mexico, is in the greatest en-
citement, and the military and civil aa-
thorities are busily engaged armin4
the citizens with all the weapons OBJ
tainable. The cause of the excitement
is duo to information received by the
military commander of the frontier
customs guards that the city, and par
ticularly the custom house, will be at
tackled Sunday night by the revolu-
tionists, a detachment of whom cap
tured the custom house at Las Palo-
mas, twenty miles west here, Thurs
day.
The revolutionists, as they are
termed, several days since issued n pro-
nunciamento against the Mexican gov
ernmcnt and distributed it along the
border to the south. This fact became
known to the government, but no at
tention was paid to the matter until
the attack and capture of the GUS
tom house at Las Palomas, which was
a complete surprise.
The authorities have information
that the revolutionists are now on their
way from Juarez from Palomas and are
about six hundred strong, while other
small parties are continually joining
them from the mountains to the south
and west The fighting force at Juare7
Sunday night consists of three cavalry
troops, sixty-fve mounted customs
guards and something over three hun
dred deputy policemen, all under the
command of Col. Zuberkerslli, of the
eleventh regiment of cavalry.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.--The Ferris wheel

THE AMENDMENTS.

Difference of Opinion as to Their Being
Adopted.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. lit is now
claimed confidently by authorities on
constitutional law that despite the fact
that the constitutional amendments
did not receive majority of all
the votes cast at the election on
Tuesday they were adopted neverthe-
less. The constitution provides that
amendments be voted on at an cleo
tion for members of the general assem-
bly,. The legislature provided that
these amendments should be voted
upon on Il separate ballot, and in Il
separate box. Now the friends OF the
amendments declare that as this con-
stituted practically a separate election,
and as there was the necessary major
ity of all the votes cast in that separate
election in the affirmative upon both
propositions to amend they are car
ried. Other lawyers, however, take
the other side of the question, which
| will probably have to be settled by the
courts.

A LAWSUIT

Drives II Farmer to suicidc-Henry Steritz
Takes Poison.
LYNCHBURe, O., Nov. 11.-Henry Ster-
itz, wealthy farmer about 54 years of
age, committed suicide on his farm,
three miles north of this place.
He left his home Monday morning,
but no uneasiness was felt, as it was
thought he had gone to Martinsville, a
neighboring village. He did not re-
turn Monday night, and a search was
begun.
This was kept up until Thursday
evening, when his dead body was found
by John Troutwine, one of the party.
1t was ghastly in appearance, and a
small vial lying near told the story OF
self-poisoning.
Steritz had lately been sued for s10,'
900 damages, and it is thought that
brooding over the impending lawsuit
drove him to the deed.
