Fully $500 persons were present and much
enthusiasm prevailed. Speeches were
made by William r. Grace, George Wal
ton Green and others.
Senator Hill sent a letter of regret, in
which he said:
Il am gratihed that the democrats
represented by the organization in whose
behalf your invitation is extended, realize
the importance of the present campaign
and propose to Loyalty support the demo-
cratic state ticket nominated at Saratoga
The election in this state involves the
supremacy of the democratic party; 1t
involves the approval or disapproval Of
the federal administration; its results
will largely affect the great issue of
tariff reform; its effects will largely shape
the destiny of our party in the future.
Expressing my appreciation of the sup
port of the democrats of all factions, re-
gardless of local or past differences, and
with my best wishes for the success of the
democracy everywhere, l remain, Your
fellow citizen, David B. Hill.

FIERCE PRATRTE FIRES.
A Strip of Country 200 Miles Long and
20 Miles Wide Burned Over.


Omaha, Neb., Oct. 26.-Lashed by
furious wind, the prairie irse that are now
raging in the northwestern part of the
state are travelling with almost lightning
like rapidity, and consuming everything
in their track. Last night the blaze was
driven through the central portion Of
Sheridan and Cherry counties and in their
track were the big Osborne and Spade
ranches, and a number of smaller ones.
This morning not q vestige of these
ranches remains except the bare and
scorched ground.
Late this afternoon the fire is reported
to have reached Pullman and the whole
country in that neighborhood is raging
furnace. 1t is not known whether any
lives have been lost or not, but thousands
Of head of cattle have perished. People
in the track of the fire are fleeing for
their lives, leaving all their property to
the mercy of the flames.
At Homingford, John Bliss, one of the
men badly burned while fighting the de-
mon, is reported as dead, and others of
the victims as dying.
So far as can be learned, the flames
have not jumped the Fremont, Ellkhorn
and Missouri valley black hill tracts, but
1t is feared they may at any time. Little
or no damage has been done as yet to
railroad property on this line. The Bur-
lington railroad as yet reports no dam
age. t.-sg .+tss st
The blaze Is supposed to have been set
by drunken man near Mullin, but this
is not authentic. So far the flames have
traversed a stretch of country over 200
miles in length and 10 miles wide. The
last report is from Hecla, where consid-
cradle damage was done. At this place
the wind turned south, driving the flames
to an as yet unvisited country.

A HARD RAP AT A MUSIC HALL
The Empire at London Refused a
Drinking Auditorium Liosnse.

London, Oct. 26.-There was much in
terest to-day in the meeting Of the Lon
don county council, at which the appeal
of the Empire music hall against the
action OF the licensing committee was
heard The committee had refused to
grant the Empire a drinking audito-
rum" license, and had so compelled the
closing of the promenade Of that estab-
lishment. Some idea of the extent of the
crusade carried on against the Empire
may be gathered from the fact that dur
ing the hearing of the appeal the British
Women's Temperance Association held
a four hours concurrent prayer meeting,
and that prayer was offered in many of
the chapels OF London and its suburbs
during the past week in support of the
action of the committee. Crowds of peo-
pie attended the council hall to-day
among them being many members of the
Social Purity League.
After several hours of discussion, the
council adopted the recommendation of
the committee abolishng the promenade
of the Empire, and forbidding selling
drinks in the auditorium
1t is announced that the Empire will
now be compelled to close its doors.

RACE WAR AMONG ToTLERs.
The White and Black Screw Men in a
Wage Fight at New Orleans,


wage Fight at New Orleans,
New Orleans, Oct. 26.-The screw men
have inaugurated strike on the river
front to-day. Early during the forenoon
every member of the organization put
down his tools and work was at an end.
The trouble grows out of the recent diff
ferences between the whites and blacks.
The screw men, white and black, some
years ago were on terms of the utmost
harmony, working together and parading
together, and belonged to the same coun-
Gil. Trouble has been brewing between
them for some time, however and has
been threatening injury to the commerce
of the port. The appearance at the river
front of firms of negro stevedores hiring
negro screwmen, has served to accentuate
the trouble, and the white screWmen have
been charging that the negroes have been
cutting rates and that the whites are los
ing ground owing to the influx of negro
labor.
The white and black organizations
parted company some time ago, and a
fortnight back the white screwmen held
a meeting and decided not to work any
longer for ship agents or other employers
of negro labor. Notices to this effect were
sent TO snip brokers' ana to all parties in
terested. The result was that many of
the negroes were knocked off To-day
every ship loading in the port was stopped
and all hands laid off. The trade of the
port is for the time being paralyzed, and
the old trouble that has been fomenting
for weeks has developed into what really
promise to be one of the most disastrous
labor disputes that New Orleans has ex-
ber, 1892.
For some time the negro screwrnen
have been cutting rates and Offering la
Dor at cut of Is cents per bale below
the rates heretofore demanded and re-
ceiYed bY like white ORGANIZATIONS.
