The DrudGery of the Attorney General
ship Distasteful to Him.
Washington, Nov. 9-Attorney General
Olney, in conversation with friends dur
ing the past few months. has expressed
himself as anxious to return to private
life, stating that the drudgery and re-
sponsibilities of his position is wearing on
him. His private law practice it is said,
is even now worth from $SO, 900 to $4,000 a
year, and would be largely increased II
he was free from official trammels. It
is also asserted that Mr.. Olney, when he
accepted the once of attorney general,
which he did with reluctance, made 1t
conditional that he might resign before
the expiration of his term If he found the
duties distasteful. That time, IL is said.
is near an end Mr.. Olney's relations with
the President are close, and his intimate
friends believe that he has remained in
the cabinet thus far at the Presidents S
solicitation. In the event of Attorney
General Olney tending his resignation,
the possibility is suggested that William
L. Wilson might be rendered seat in the
cabinet. This, however, is matter upon
which no intimatien has been had, di-
rectly or indirectly from the President.

committee
Dallas, Tex, Nov. ell p. m.-Not more
than one-third of the vote of the state has
been reported officially, but enough is
known to predict the success of Culberson,
dem, for governor, by about 10000 plu-
rality. He runs 10000 to 1900 behind the
balance of the state ticket The dem
ocrats certainly elect congressman iii
eight of the thirteen districts, namely
First, Hutchison. 1000 plurality; Second,
Cooper, 5000; Third, Yoakum, 150O; Fourth
Culberson, 1000; Fifth, Bailey. s,OOO;
Ninth, Sayers, 1,500; Tenth, Crowley, 1000;
Eleventh, Grain, 1000.
In the Twelfth district, Noonan, rep,
has from 1,50O to 1000 plurality.
In the Thirteenth, GilHland. pop. is
probably elected. He is leading by nearly
1000 votes and the democratic strong
holds have been mostly heard from.
In the Sixth district the official count
will be necessary to determine between
Abbott, dem, and Kearby, pop. The same
is true of Pendleton, dem, and Barber,
pop, in the Seventh, and Bell dem, and
Jenkinks, pop, in the Eighth. The
chances slightly favor the democrats in
all three districts.

COAL DEALERS ASSIGN.
The Export Company of Pensacola
to Be Reorganized.

Pensacola, Fla, Nov. 9.-The Export
Coal Company has made an assignment to
+. c. Brent, president Of the First Nation
al Bank, for the benefit OF its creditors
This course was agreed upon at the meet
ing of the board of directors, held in this
city several days ago. and the papers
were filed in the office of the county
clerk on Wednesday
The object of the assignment il to
place in the hands of the assignee all OF
the company's property, to be divided
among its creditors according TO their
various demands.
Mr. Brent has accepted the position
of assignee. and to-day filed his bond. He
was seen shortly afterwards, and in re-
sponse TO an inquiry, stated that the cash
value of the companys assets was about
S1S9 900, and that the liabilities are a lit
tie in access OF the assets.
He further stated that the company
hopes TO be able to pay out in full. and
that he will endeavor TO sell the plant as
quickly as possible He had an offer for
the entire plant yesterday, which he was
compelled TO decline. In the meantime,
as assignee, he will continue TO MI the
company's old contracts, and says he has
reason to believe that there will be no
cessation OF business.
II is well understood here that the as
signment means the organization Of a
new company to take the place OF the old
one, and the business OF exporting coal
from this port will in the future be con-
Quoted on much larger scale than here
tOfore.
The Louisville and Nashville railroad
has a large force of men at work re-
building the coal chutes, and it is expected
that the new company will be fully or

CAMERON FOR PRESIDENT.
He May Head the Ticket of silverite

he May Head the Ticket or q S1lV6rlte-
Protection Party.
Denver, Col, Nov. 9.-The silver men Of
Colorado and other mining states are ma
turing plans. it is said, for launching a
Silver party" They will cooperate
with the bi-metallists of the south and
east, and call will soon be issued for a
meeting to effect an organization.
"I do not care to have my name used"
said a prominent mining man to-day,
"but l have correspondence from Sena-
tor Cameron and Congressman Sibley Of
Pennsylvania, several Ohio congress-
men, Senators Jones and Stewart of Ne
vada, and many others, all urging us to
form a silver party. We have no hope
from the successful party in congress-"
do you think Senator Cameron would
run as an Independent silver candidate
against the Republican party?"
II feel confident he would head our
ticket with pleasure. He wants in the
platform only silver and protection. We
all believe that such a party will be the
principal opponent in 1896 to the republi-
can, unless the democratic party during
the short session should pass a free coin
age bill"
George j. Merrick, president of the Col
orado Silver League, says plans for the
organization of the new party are well
advanced, but are not yet ready for pub
lication.
THE ns-Mississippi congress meets
in st. Louis on Nov. H. said Mr.. Merrick.
1--WE had thought of calling our initial
meeting there and at that time, but it
has not gone further A few days more
will decide the question"

TWO MEN HOLD UP A TOWN.
One Citizen Killed and Another
Wounded During the Escape.

Coffeyville. Kan. Nov. s.-Two Of the
Cook gang plundered the town of Lena
pah., I. T., and left a bloody trail behind
them this afternecn. They entered the town
in their character Of bold bandits, with
out any attempt at concealnent, and ter
rorized the citizens until they had car
ried out their plans of robbery.
E. e. Melton, a brave young man. who
attempted to stop them with his gun when
they were riding away, was shot and in
stantly killed. Another man, whose name
cannot be learned tonight, is reported
to have been seriously wounded. Both Of
the victims were with small force of citi-
Eens who hastily armed themselves and
attempted to prevent the escape of the
bandits.
The robbers were mounted on fast horses
and were heavily armed Some of the
citizens claim to have recognized them as
Cherokee Bill and Jim French well known
lieutenants Of Bill Cook, the leader of the
gang.
The robbers held up the proprletors of
two stores and looted both places. They
also robbed the postoffice. John Shufelt
the proprietor of one store, was relieved
of 500 in money and gold watch These
articles were taken from his person.
Mr.. Shufelt proclaimed his loss to the
town before the robbers had finished their
work, and the band of citizens were almost
between them and their horses when the
robbers went TO mount. An effort was
made to stop them, but they were on
horseback, with drawn pistols and flying
before their would-be captors could make
a concentrated move. Melton was more
rash than the others, and met his death
in consequence. The news, as it reaches
this city, does not state in what man
ner, or how seriously the second victim
was hurt.
A report says the robbers are headed
for Coheyville, which is only fifteen miles
from Lenapah. This place is the scene
OF many tragic robberies, and the police
department, with many volunteers, are
prepared to meet them in the same way
they met the Daltons two years ago, when
almost the entire band was wiped out.

BYNUM AND THE BRIBEs.
Very Little Importance Attached to the
Story at Indianapolis.

Very Little Importance Attached to the
Story at Indianapolis.
Indianapolis. Ind. Nov s.-Very little
Importance is attached to the statement
by Congressman Bynum to the effect that
he could have been elected had he been
willing to accept bribes for offices which
would be filled on his recommendatier.
Outside of the postofice in this city and
Anderson there were no valuable federal
places at his disposal, for Senators Voor-
hees and Turpie had as much to do with
the larger federal places as did Mr.. By
mum, the marshalship collectorship, pen
sion agency and other good places being
filled not by the congressman, but upon
the recommendation Of the senator's. Mr..
Bynurn's statement that he was offered
S5 600 if he could recommend a certain
man for the position is not credited by
democrats. He is very sore over his de-
feat, and is attributing it to disappointed
place hunters, when in fact, that class
had less to do with it than any other.

LONDON'S NEW LORD MAYOR.
Lord ROSeberry Speaks on the Political
Situation.

The British Governments Proofs of It's
Friendship for Japan Pointed Out.
The Relations With Russia Described
as Most Cordial-An AIlusion to Rus
sia and the Dead Gear.
London, Nov. s.-The crowds to-day
which witnessed the procession which
formed part of the installation of the
new lord mayor. Alderman Sir Joseph
Renals, were small, the decorations taw-
dry and the procession itself far from COM
pairing with those of some years back.
The day was mild and showery.
The most notable feature of the lord
mayor banquet at the Guild hall tonight
was the prime minister's speech on the
political situation at home and abroad.
The British government had given strong
and tangible proof of its friendship for
Japan by concluding. the recent compre-
hensive treaty, while Lord Roseberry
said, it had also shown it's benevolent neu-
trality by attempting to promote peace
between the two warning powers. In this
delicate and difficult business the govern
ment had gone hand in hand with Russia
and other interested powers Although
the sky was not clear, the government
would let slip no opportunity to settle the
war Great Britains relations to Russia
were most cordial, the difficulty as to
spheres of influence in Asia having been
terminated. If all the European countries
concerned could only proceed cordially
and without suspicion in Asiatic affairs, a
great step would be taken to secure the
peace of the world
But recently the civilized world had be-
walled the assassination of the president
of a country with whom England ought
to stand shoulder to shoulder in the gen
erous commercial rivalry. Now she
had to regret the death of
a great emperor, the master of
peace. The young head on which had
fallen the terrible responsibility of the
Russian crown might prove not unequal
to the task.
After paying high compliments to the
wisdom and moderation of Alexander III,
Lord Roseberry spoke of his services in
preserving the peace of Europe. Few
persons realized, he said, the difficulty of
keeping a good understanding among the
nations There was also danger in the
mighty engine of the press, which often
spoke under the influence of fierce COM
petition, and without weighing the effects
of its announcements. He must ask the
press to sift its news carefully before pub
fishing it.
The foreign policy of England was strict
ly conservative and had nothing to do
with party. The governments wished
things to remain as they were. It coveted
nothing abroad. 1t was not worth Eng
lands while, with interests all over the
world 10 disturb the existing conditions.
