IN PROGRESS IN NEW ORLEANS, DUE TO
 THE LABOR STRIKE.
 NEW ORLEANS, Nov. S.-On account of the labor troubles on the levee, brought about by the white laborers in an effort to get rid of the colored laborer as a com petitor, an evangelical alliance meeting was held today at Wesley chapel of the Methodist Episcopal church, attended by fifty ministers and 1500 people, and prayers were offered for guidance, blessings and protection, and the following unanimously adopted:
 "At time when the peace, prosperity and even the very life, commercially speak ing, of great city like New Orleans IS en . dangered by the ruth less hand of the mur- derer, outlaw, assassin and incendiary torch;
 "When the blood of half a score of de- fenseless law abiding citizens, in the per sons of J. Gordon Taylor, James Yeates. Johnson, Randolph Blackburn, Andrew Holmes, Henry Carey and others, who have been slaughtered in cold blood or wounded nigh unto death by mob violence in the open day, and in the presence of those whose duty it is to protect defense-
 fWhen the blood of these men is calling aloud for redress at the hands of injured justice and outraged law,
 "When the only plea thus far given or even hinted by these misguided violatorS of the peace and perpetrators of thess atrocities is the fact that those agains t whom these great outrages are perpetrated are negroes, and are incapable of resent naent or redress;
 :When the representatives of civil gov- ernment, municipal and gubernatorial, seem to act with measure of indifference to such condition of affairs, may it not well besaid, as in the days of primitive Christian experience: Lord, unto whom shall we go?'
 ssBut the answer Is close at hand; there is one unto whom we may go, and 1t is unto Him of whom the disciples said: sThou hast the words of eternal life.'
 s.Unto Him, therefore, have we come this day for guidance, blessing and protec. tion 3j

ST. AsAPH's RESULTS.

ST. AsAPH's, Nov. 8.-The bookmakers fared badly at the St. Asaph track today, four of the winners being favorites and the other two we'll backed second choices.

Owing to the Passage of the Anti
 Gambling Amendment.
IS NOW A THING OF THE PAST
The Talent and Small BookieS Feeling Very Blue-The
 Racing Results.

NEW YoEK, Nov. 8.-Now that it is an assured fact that the anti-gambling amend- ment to the constitution has been carried the turf men have begun to lose heart. At first they did not regard the amendment which prohibits betting, pool selling or gambling of any kind seriously. It was the consensus of opinion of the men iden- tited with racing in this slate that the proposed amendment would be lost The bookmakers took matters easily. They argued that if it did pass there would be some way arranged to evade it.
 Richard Croker, who IS the proprietor of the Manhattan stable and also owns big interest in tue famous Belle Mead stud farm, was asked for his views upon the situation today. He said:
 '.It simply means the drawing out of this state of $l00, ,000, GOO and the throwing Of hundreds of men out of employment. do not think the voters knew what they were voting for. They were not properly in- sructed on the proposed amendments. This resulted in those who were opposed to the measures bolting the amendments al- together. It will not do away with racing in this country, but it will effectually stop It In this state. It Is hard blow to the breeder, farmer and merchant alike to drive such big industry into the western  have signified their intention of racing in Europe in the event of the bill passing.o
 At the various uptown resorts the book. makers who had arrived from the defunct Narragansett association meeting were of the opinion that racing in the cast was a thing ot the past. They, for the most part, pooh- pooed the English credit sys- fem. The small bookmaker has not much faith in mankind. He would not trust his nearest relative. He has got to leave this state under the new order Of things. Only the big and reliable bookmakers can exist under the credit methods used in England. This fact has caused tue biggest pencilers to take quite hopeful view of the situa- tion.
 John A. Morris has said that be would not open Morris park next season. ~
 Phillip J. DWyer said before election that in the event of the anti gambling amendment passing he would not open Gravesend. Now that it has passed he says that if he can see his way to paying expenses he will race at Gravesend next season.
 The Coney Island Jockey club will race as usual at Sheepshead Bay if racing can be conducted without violating the law.
 Brighton Beach, Maplesend and Aqueduct park are booked to remain closed.
 Some of the more hopeful turtles are castii- g their eyes longingly towards New Jersey. They have not lost all hope of getting a law passed that will permit racing in that state. The talent take the sombre view of the situation. They see only the frightful nightmare of daily toll for a subsistence before them under the new con- dition of affairs.

There is little or no bitter feeling left, and now everybody in Birmingham will get down to work for the promotion of the Magic City's indus trial progress.

 PARTY TALKED OF.


 DALLAS, Nov. S.-The judges are still counting the ballots. Mayor Kearby, pop ulist, for congress, so far as returns are in from Dallas county, leads Abbott, demo- crat, by about 600. If Kearby counts out as strongly in the city as his friend, say he will the race in the Sixth district will be a decidedly close one.
 Dispatches today assure the election of Gilliland, populist, over Bell, democrat, in the Thirteenth district.
 Even the rock bbed democratic state of Texas has parted from the faith and par tially gone over to the enemy. The demo- crats certainly lose two, and possibly four, congre ,smeD.
 Nugent, populist, for governor, is run ming ike scared hound. The popullsts here are actually claiming his election.
 While many leading democrats are dumbfounded at the cyclone which has well nigh swept the party out of existence, others are not at ali astonished. They say that Cleveland and congress have utterly failed to carry out the wishes of the people and have betrayed every trust and conf- dence put in them.
 There is loud talk of forming new na- tional party, with new name, upon the best blanks of the democratic, populist and old line whig platforms.
