New YoRK, Nov. 6.-Mr. Carlisle,
secretary of the treasury, arrived here
this morning. To reporter OF the
Ersning Post Mr.. Carlisle said that he
was here on official business.
Mr.. Carlisle declined to say anything
relating to the financial and business
situation or express any opinion as to
the outlook. As to the condition OF
the treasury he said nothing, as he did
not consider it wise or proper to trans
act the business OF the government
through the newspapers.
Through the misunderstanding OF a
treasury order or an erroneous dispatch
from Washington the impression has
become general that Secretary Carlisle
has ordered the mints to coin the
seignorage OF the silver bullion now in
the treasury, that is the proportion OF
any given quantity Of silver bullion
that would become seignorage II the
whole oil that quantity were coined.
In reply to the question OF n reporter
OIL Tue IICtHUy 1 Oet NRt' SHf ISAV o'A'N -
had not issued any order directing the
mints to coin the silver bullion now in
the treasury or any part OF it.
"What have done is just this" said
Mr.. Carlisle, 1--WE could use few more
silver dollars now, and have therefore
directed the mints to get ready to coin
some OF .he bullion lit should be DEEM
ed advisable to do so-that is l have or.
dered them to prepare the ingots and
stamps. 1t is necessary, you know, be-
fore the bullion can be coined, to max
ingots OF certain length and OF the
same thickness as dollar. To do that
and make the stamps would take some
weeks so you see we could not begin
coming at once even il we wanted to do
so. 1t would take more than five years
to coin all the silver now in the treas
ury. If We should begin to coin it, the
seignorage would not in round figures
amount to more thans1 900, 900 a month,
or, il the mints were ull kept steadily
going, about S12,000,000 year"

Its Importance to the Country MS GlHen by
Colonel Henderson.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 6.-Fred D.
Mussey telegraphs tho Cincinnati Com.
merclal. Gazette the following interview
with Congressman Henderson regard
ing the Iowa situation:
II am surprised" says Colonel Hem
derson, who is tho oldest Republican
member from Iowa, "that there is such
complete ignorance in the east concern.
ing the Iowa situation. The newspa-
pers here are teeming with special tele-
grams concerning the Ohio and Nir-
ginia situations, but they say nothing OF
Iowa, when, as matter OF fact, the
Iowa election is OF more Importance, in
national sense, than any OF the others.
If Governor Boies is elected this year
there will be elected at the same time a
Democratic legislature. Do you realize
what that single statement means? l
will tell you. 1t means that q Demo-
crat would be elected to the United
States senate to succeed James +. Will
son, whose term expires one year from
next March, Itmeans that q number OF
state senators would be elected to hold
over and affect the election OF the sue
cessor of Senator Allison. Thus you see
that two senatorships are trembling in
the balance. Moreover, if the state
goes Democratic, and his own succession
to the senate should be endangered,
Senator Allison might not be so much
spoken OF as a presidential possibility.
"But that is not all which might be
affected by Democratic success in Iowa.
The Congressional districts could be so
arranged as to send six Democratic rep
resentatives out OF eleven. whereas at
present there is but one Democratic
representative from Iowa in the na-
tional house OF representatives. But
there is still more significance in the
Iowa election, which everybody in the
east has overlooked. The redistriCting
OF the state could be so arranged as to
have thirteen electoral votes cast for
the Democratic Presidential ticket in
'96. In other words, if Iowa goes DEM
ocratic next Tuesday, it is likely to be-
come solid and reliable Democratic
state, although it has for nearly thirty.
five years been reliably Republican. In
1880 Iowa gave Garfield and Arthur
81, 900 majority. You will see thore are
some changes occurring from time to
time beyond the Mississippi, which are
worthy OF note"

Policy.
LONDON, Nov. 6.-The parliamentary
secretary OF the colonial office, Mr..
Sidney Buxton, in the house OF COM
mons to-day, replying to questions re-
garding the Disturbances in MatabeIe.
said that the latest information received
by the government was that King
Lobengula was not fugitive, but was
still hostile. According TO Mr.. Buxton
the war cannot be said to have ended,
and no action taken on the spot will
prejudice the governments final de.
cision as to the future OF Matabeleland.
r. Gladstone replying to Mr.. La.
boucher, said that the government had

to obtain day for the discussion Of
this important matter.
Mr.. Gladstone, replying to Mr.. John
Redmond, said that no bill for the re-
lief OF evicted tenants could be intro

tiles. Sir Edward. continuing, said
that it would seem reasonable to await
the result OF the trial before making
claims.
Mr.. Gladstone, replying to a question
from Mr., John Redmond as to whether,
in view OF the widespread anxiety ex.
isting in Ireland, the government would
not reconsider its decision not to intro

could not deal with the whole question
this year, fully and effectively, it would
propose renewal OF clause l3, of the
land act OF 1891, said that the govern

The Administration has not Much Hope OF
Democratic Success.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 6.-The cleo
tions throughout the country tomorrow
are awaited with great interest by the
public men in this city who see in them
an indication OF the result OF the popu-
lar elections OF 1894. The American
public is fully aware Of the Significance
OF the result in the great states ot New
York. Ohio, Iowa, Massachusetts and
Virginia
President Cleveland hopes for Demo-
cratic success, but his closest advisers
have not given him much encourage
ment.
1t is believed by the close friends OF
the administration that in no manner
can the defeat OF Democrats be attrib.
uted to the action OF Congress, as both
parties we're responsible. 1t was
thought that the suspension OF silver
purchases might give an impetus to the
Populist campaign in Virginia, but even
there it is now conceded that the Dem
ocrats will be successful.
Viewed from the Washington stand
point the elections are interesting as
presenting the thoughts Of the people
on multifarious questions without lu-
volving any great political significance.
Secretary Lamont left the city this
evening for New York, where he ex-
poets to vote at the election tomorrow.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin, OF the
treasury department, also lett this even
ing for his home in Massachusetts. He
will vote tomorrow.
The congressional contingent in the
city is pretty well thinned out to-day.
The New York, Massachusetts,, Penn
sylvGnia, Ohio and Virginia delegations
are at home attending the elections, and
have taken with them many well
known congressman and good takers to
make closing speeches at the last mo-
ment. The southern delegations have
not quorum present, and but few OF
the members from south OF the Mason
and Dixon line remain in town.

N[ARsEILLEs, Nov. 6.-The rioting by
the street car strikers was continued
throughout the afternoon, the total oil
twenty-five cars being overturned and
smashed and the harness OF the horses
cut to pieces.
The strikers have issued manifesto
urging the men to continue the strike
and have written to Mr.. James Gordon
Bennett, proprietor OF the New York
Herald. asking for assistance and recall
ing the l5O, 900 francs which were given
to the strikers Of Paris.
A conference took place this after
noon between delegations from the
horse car companies and the municipal
authorities, during which one OF the
directors OF horse car line accused the
mayor OF melting the population
against tho company and insinuated
that the municipal authorities had in
stigated the strike.
The mayor and other municipal ofli-
GERS, indignant at the statement made
by the director, left the room where
the conference was held.
The disorders continue. Fifty cars
we're damaged by the strikers, and the
drivers were beaten and forced to flee
for their lives. The police have ar.
rested sIxty-two of the rioters. NJ. Mil.
lerand, Jaures, Viviand and Roger have
been asked to come to Marseilles to or

SO VIII Go Massachusetts, With Chances
Favorlng Republicans.
BosToN, Nov. 6.-There arc only two
opinions upon the result OF to.morrow's
election in Massachusetts,, but great
many thinking men are far from being
certain tonight which is the right one.
The strictly independent and un'
prejudiced opinion is hard to find, but
a careful canvass among the politicians
discloses that the scale is apparently
tipping toward Republican success. The
main fight is over the election OF gov.
ernor, and as the candidates are about
equally popular, the Gght is largely on
party lines.
Outside some talk has been made OF
mismanagement by the state commit
tee, but no formal charges OF neglect
have been brought forward. Boston
has been the field uron which the party
has pinned its hopes, and by its vote to-
morrow they will stand or fall. The
Populists have been saving wood, but
not saying much. and everyone who
has given them thought admits they
will make substantial gain from the
ranks OF both parties. The Prohibi'
tionists are not seriously taken, even as
an eventual possibility.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-The .wrangle over
the election OF mayor pro tenn was
settled tonight by the choice OF Alder
man George B. Swift, Rep, he receiving
50 votes to 5 for Alderman McGillen,
one blank being cast. The Democratic
aldermen remained in the council
chamber until 7:30, the time set for the
regular meeting. This was to keep Nc
Gillen in the chair on the plea that the
original meeting OF which he had been
chairman had not been adjourned.
The Republican aldermen were lock-
ed in room half square from the
city hall to keep away from the ser.
ge1nt.at-arms, who had been instructed
bv the Democrats to bring them over
to the meeting. At 7:20 tonight, the
Republican aldermen, followed by a
small army OF their adherents,
marched in Il column OF twos' to
ths council chamber where they
were greeted with loud cheers
and laughter by waiting Democrats.
Leaders OF both factions quickly got
together, and 1T was decided to avoid
any possible repetition OF last Satur-
day. Everything was wiped of the
slate. A new vote was taken, MCGillen
having, on motion OF Republican
alderman been chosen chairman, ap-
pointed as tellcrs the four aldermen
who acted in that capacity at Satur-
days election.
There were sixty.eight aldermen pre-
sent, two from each OF the So wards.
When the vote was over siXty-nine vo.
tes had been cast, one alderman haV-
ing thrown in vote for both Swift and
McGillen. The vote stood Swift so, Nc
Gillen 10. After some discussion it was
decided to call another vote, which gave
Swift so. McGillen 5, one blank ballot
being cast Alderman Swift at once
presented his bond which was made out
after Saturdays election, and he was
sworn in as mayor pro TEN; me spec.
ial election for mayor will be held next

Posses Still in Pursuit and Excitement
Running High.
BArEsvILLE, ARK. Nov. 6.-The report
cd capture OF three moro train robbers
today, was premature. 1t seems that
at day break this morning a posse met
three of the robbers near Wackerlys.
They fred upon and pursued them SO
closely that within an hour the robbers
abandoned the horses which we're cap
tured with their provisions. They drop
ped three overcoats and hats in their
fight on foot. Jewelry, watches, etc.
were found in coats and saddle pockets,
Bloodhounds were put on their track
at noon and they were followed five
miles, when the dogs were turned back
and the trail was lost. Tho woods are
full OF armed men and all outlets are
thought to be guarded, the river being
closely watched. Neither OF the cap.
tured robbers is Jesse Roper, as was at
first supposed, but the most desperate
robbers perhaps are yet to be captured.
The posse all say that they are men and
no boys, and think they must be short
Of ammunition.
Trainmaster Green has returned from
Little Rock from the scene OF the rob.
berry. He believes the entire gang will
be taken before many hours have
elapsed. Parties from Newport and
Batesville say that the excitement is
still running high, and that rumors are
in circulation Of the killing Of two Of
the robbers.

DEs MONIES, IA, Nov. 6.-The election
outlook has not changed materially
since last night. Both parties held
closing rallies in all of the large cities
throughout the state, but these are cal.
culated more to arouse people than to
make new converts.
Chairman Blythe, of the Republican
party, before leaving the city to-day
estimated Jackson's plurality at 1900.
Last night he made it $1,000, not 1900
as printed. He also claims good ma.
jority in both houses OF the legislature.
G. B. Cummins, who has just returned
from a speaking tour, puts it at 5000.
AtDemocratic headquarters estimates
are more modest, but the Democrats
have not been making boastful or
loud campaign. Chairman Fuller has
done his work quietly and tonight feels
confident that Boies will be reelected
by the same plurality, at least, as two
years ago, nearly 5000.

Postponed Until the eth Instant at the
Request of His Attorneys.
CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Mayor Harrison's
assassin, Prendergast appeared for trial
to-day, but upon the request OF alter
neys secured for him by his brother, u
letter carrier, the case was continued
by Judge Dunno until November 81
The lawyers for the defense stated that
they desired time to study the case.
As n drawing attraction Prendergast
is failure The public seems to take
little interest in him. 1t was we'll
known that the case was to be called
before Judge Dunno to-day, but only a
comparatively meagre crowd was in
attendance. The assassin does not take
hold on public interest like other Grim
inaIs, and to-day's proceedings, which
lasted perhaps half an hour, were utter
ly devoid of the features dear to sensa-
tion lovers.
Wade, the principal counsel for the
defense, is the claim attorney for the
Pennsylvania railroad, but there is no
reason to suppose the coincidence has
anything to do with PreAdergasts al
legged motive having been Mayor Har-
rison's supposed anti-raitroad track
elevation policy. Mr.. Wade is also
attorney for the Hawthorne race track.
In court to-day he admitted that the
defense would be plea OF insanity.
The chief ground on which the court
granted continuance was that it would
be necessary to send to distant states
for witnesses regarding the early life OF
the defendant.
Prendergast's attorneys are Wade, of
Chicago, and Robert Essex, of st.
Joseph, Mo.

The Treasury Balance.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 6.-The
treasury department to-day had an
actual working balance not to exceed
S9,OOo,OOO. Ii this becomes exhausted
the department will have to meet cur
rent obligations from the gold reserve.
The treasury officials, however, look for
better times and gradual increase in
the reserve instead Of further loss. 1t
is expected that the coinage OF gold at
the Philadelphia and San Francisco
mints between now and January 1st
next will amount to from 10000, 900 to
