Strength Shown i'm the Conventions
Held Yesterday.

fTom tue New ltIh gun.
BUFFALO, October 16-The American
Protective Association sustained two de-
feats and achieved number of victories in
the republican conventions today. 1t re-
quired the exercise of all the manifold re-
sources Of the republican machine to de-
feat the plan of that organization to pre-
vent the nomination Of Daniel j. kenetick
for district attorney.
The A. Z. AS second defeat was encoun-
tered in the convention which nominated
candidate for Congress from the thirty
second district to succeed Daniel n. Lock-
wood. The A. L. a. elected one-third of
the delegates, sufficient, II was thought, TO
accomplish the defeat of Rowland b.
Mahany, eX-mlniSter to Ecuador, bril-
liant young protege of James q. Blaine.
Mr.. Mahany is a Protestant, but he is asso-
cated with Father Croning in editing lhe
Catholic; Union and Times ard is known as
a bitter foe OF the A. +. ~.
After he had been nominated one of his
followers introduced resolution denounc-
ing the A. L. n. The chairman, Who was
also Mahany man, declared the resolution
carried without asking for yea ana nay
vote.
The A. p. A. made It's influence felt in
regard 10 the other candidates. by its die
tatIon not single Catholic was named On
the city ticket. Mr.. Kenefick is the only
Catholic on the county ticket. The Roman
Cathohc Candidates for member of assem-
bly, were defeated in all the districts, and
in two of the districts men known to be
affiliated with the a. l.. \. were chosen
At the caucuses for ward officers tonight
these victories were repeated Alderman
William *. Williams, representing the ward
which embraces the swell part Of the city
and is the republican stronghold, was de-
feated by ii large majority because he had
refused to join the organic ton and asso-
ciated with a number OF Roman Catholic
politicians. over half of the aldermanic
nominations were dictated by the \. Z. A.
The growth of this order in Buffalo and
its manner of operations will be made the
subject of series of articles in the Catholic
Union and Times. The first will appear in
thursdays issue. These articles have been
carefully compiled, and give full statistics
from official sources The Information has
been gathered for n period covering two
years, and the paper is in possession of de-
tailed reports of the meetings of all the

FINANCES OF AUSTRIA.
n Bfg balance shown on the Right
Side of the Ledger

In the lower house of the Austrian
reichsrath yesterday the minister OF finance
submitted the budget estimate for IS.L5
showing surplus of 2,451, 7O7 forms. The
minister added that the accounts for 1889
showed surplus of 29.5OO,OOO forms.
This statement caused a sensation and
was followed by prolonged cheering. Con-
tinuing, however. the minister of finance
said that 100000 forms must be deducted
because the stock of gold in the treasury
had been converted into coin to that amount.
The actual surplus, therefore, was g;,.seo,eoo
HORNS. The direct taxes produced q, Ia, 49,
iiorins and the indirect taxes produced
24,65l, SOB tiorins above the same taxes in
1SCs.

Americans Will he Protected.

Officials of the Chinese legation say
Americans residing in China will be given
ample protection as long as the war exists
The legation shares the feeling expressed in
recent cables from Pekin that foreigners
have nothing to fear from outbreaks Of
natives. The newspapers and private ad-
vices received at the legation make no men,
ton OF the extreme disorder and panic at
Pekin which the cables reported, and the
officials think these reports were unwar-
ranted and came through prejudiced chan
nels. 1t is pointed out that rowdy outbreaks
are likely TO occur in war times, but il is
stated with positiveness that the Chinese
government never has expressed doubt of
its ability TO control these local outbreaks
as was reported, and that il now assures
American and other foreign residents OF
complete protection.

GEN. NILES REPORT
Review ofthe Operations of the Army Under
His Command
Good Behavior of the Troops While
Protecting the Mails During the
Chicago Strike.

The annual report OF Maj. Gen. Miles.
commanding the military department OF
the Missouri made public yesterday after
noon, gives a brief but exceedingly interest
ing account OF the important happenings at
Chicago and at other places in this great
military department during the past year
In reference to the railroad strike Gen.
Miles SAYS:
In addition to removing and expeling
intruders in the Choctaw nation, and from
the Usage and Kaw Indian reservations, the
troops stationed at Forts Reno. Sill and
Supply were called on for the purpose of
protecting the United States mails. guarding
railroad bridges and supporting the United
States marshal in making arrests. All of
these difficult duties have been performed in
a manner which shows good judgment and
discretion on the part of the officers. and a
good state Of discipline and faithful service
on the part Of the troops, and IL is believed
that but for their prompt intervention much
bloodshed would have resulted. The troops
having quickly and efficiently accomplished
the arduous duties assigned to them, have
been withdrawn from the field and returned
to their respective stations.
The conduct Of the troops In restoring
order and confidence, where mob violence
and reign of terror existed in Chicago,
was marked by great forbearance fortitude
and excellent discipline. and their presence
ana action here very greatly contributed to
tne maintenance OF CIVIL law, and, In my
opinion. saved this country from a serious
rebellion, when one had been publicly de-
clared to exist by one most responsible for
Its existence
Brief History of the Strike.
An appendix to the report is contributed
by Capt. ]. NJ. Lee. ninth infantry, assist
ant to the inspector general, in the shape OF
a brief history of the strike movements at
Chicago.
Throughout all these perilous times"
says Capt. Lee, lit is gratifying to state
that the conduct, discipline and efficiency OF
the troops were so pronounced that even
their presence overawed the turbulent and
lawless, and won from every reputable, law
capitalist-and every newspaper without ex-
ception-the highest encomiums and the
warmest expressions Of gratitude from all
who were not in sympathy with anarchy,
arson and pillage
where all did SO WELL II is but Justice to
say that a very large share of the difficult
delicate and dangerous duty fell TO the. lot
of the fifteenth infantry, and the patience
energy and fearlessness with which that
regiment performed it's onerous task is an
addition to its splendid record, of which
any regiment might we'll feel proud. This
regiment, in the past two years has been
subject to undeserved abuse by some of the
Chicago papers. but now that IL has con-
tributed so largely TO saving this great city
from arson and pillage: now that the regi-
ment has SO successfully passed through
the crucial test, in presence of its whilom
detractors, its high merit seems to be prom
erly recognized, and too much cannot be
said in its praise"

substantial progress these days. A num-
Der Of handsome brick blocks are new in

farmers at work putting in thousands of
fruit trees. AS already noted in these
columns, thirteen car loads of fruit trees
have been received by the orchardists Of
that region within ten days past, and
Sheriff Atkinson says traveller on the
Pecos Valley railroad may look from the
car windows for distance of eighty
miles south of Roswell and find almost
constantly in view droves of tree plant
ers.
Chaves county Enjoys the distinction Of
being one of the best managed counties
in the west; real property is advancing
in value steadily, and frequent sales are
made, and immigration is in fourishing

Ringing Noises

In the ear, sometimes roaring, busxing
sound, are caused by catarrh, that ex-
ceedingly disagreeable and very common
disease. Loss Of smell or hearing also
result from catarrh. Hoods Sarsaparilla,
the great blood purifier, is peculiarly
successful remedy for that disease, which
it cures by purifying the blood.
