JONES GIVES IT UP.

CucAGo, Nov 5-Senator James X. Jones,
Chairman of the Democratic National Com
mittee, issued the following statement tonight:
s'The result of the election is apparently
no longer in doubt. 1t has been one of the
closest contests that the people have been
called on to determine in recent years.
.'We have claimed the election on our ad-
vises from States that. were admittedly IN
doubt, in which we knew there had been
many frauds and from which there were evil
dences of tampering with the returns. 1t
seems now to he apparent that Mr.. Bryan,
after making the most brilliant campaign in
the history of our country and having carried
most Of the States claimed TO be doubtful, has
not carried enough to assure his success IN the
electoral college. Bryan electors have been
chosen from all of the States south OF the
Potomac and Ohio except West Virginia, and
all those west of the Missouri except Calitor-
MIA and Oregon. He has 100 electoral votes,
and this number may he increased by final
returns from States yet in question. Tie has
not obtained enough votes to carry the cleo
toral college. Thus this remarkable cam
paign closes with the election of William Nc
Kinley.
1.-The result was brought about by every
kind of coercion and intimidation on the part
of the money power, including threats OF
lockouts and dismissals and impending star
walton; by the employment of by far the larg-
est campaign fund ever used in this country
and by subornation of a large portion of the
American press.
"The President elect and his party are I'M
der the pledge to the American people to
continue the gold standard, and by It's opera
ton to +, store prosperity TO this country. As
Chief Executive, Mr.. Mckinley will have the
cordial support of the millions of patriotic
Americans who have cast their votes for Viii
liam Jennings Bryan. They bow to the
majesty of the office and abide by the result
with none of the mutterings that would have
come from the monied powers had our cause
been successful.
"They are confident the gold standard can !;
not give the promised prosperity, but will
gladly welcome it if it comes. They will CON
tinue the great struggle for the uplifting OF
humanity and the maintenance of the dignity
of our country in the establishment of the
American monetary system. And the Demo-
cratic party aided by its present allies will
still uplift the bimetallc standard and bear 1t
on to victory. JAMES h. JONES.

BALTIMORE NEGROES.
They are Fighting Happy Over the
Shylock Victory.



The eolored residents of Bath and Chestnut
streets are jubilant over the outcome of the
election, and in a number of instances their
actions have become offensive to the white
people and colored Democrats with whom
they come in contact. A number of fights
and much disorder has resulted. The trouble
began about midnight, when Reuben Brown,
William johnson and a gang Of intoxicated
colored men began chasing white men ont OF
Chestnut street. They hourished revolvers
and finally fred number of shots, Great
excitement followed the shots and people fled
in all directions.
4 hurry call was sent TO the Central Station
and squad OF officers, under Sergeant Devon,
was sent out to quell the disturbance. They
arrested Brown and johnson and Justice
Sultzer fined each S. and costs.
A row occurred on Bath street, near North,
shortly before noon, between George Burton,
his son Harry, and Robert jackson, all col
ored. jackson struck the elder Burton and
the son drew a knife and slashed him across
the back. The blade cut long slit in Jack
sons coat but did not reach the flesh. Bur
ton then fed with the knife still in his hand
and a crowd of about 80 negroes pursued him
down North street to the Central Station, into
which he fled for safety. He was placed under
arrest as was jackson, on the charge of as.
saulting George Burton. Justice Sutzer fined
each So and costs.
Another row among colored men occurred
on Watson street, near Central avenue, which
came near resulting in the killing of Mrs.
Emily Schroeder, of I'LL Watson street. She
was standing in the doorway of her home
when shot was fired from pistol. The bull
let struck Mrs. Schroeder in the right side
over the hip and with a groan she sank to the
ground. She was carried into the house and
a doctor sent for, who dressed the wound.
Samuel Smith, colored, was arrested later,
charged with the shooting, and was this morn
ing held by Justice Sultzer to await the re-
suit of her injuries. She will recover.
Sidney Thompson, colored, was fined So
and costs for assaulting David Ii. Jefferson,
also colored, by Justice Wood, at the North
western Station this morning. The men were
AT a clubhouse on Pennsylvania avenue last
night getting returns. Thompson was intoxi-
Gated and assailed Jefferson with heavy
cane. The latter's scalp was badly lacerated
and necesstated trip to the Maryland Gen,
eral Hospital. Patrolman Parks arrested
Thompson. He went to Jail for 30 days, be-
ing unable to pay his fine.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. S0.-A cyclone yester-
day struck Lake st. Joseph, in Tensas parish,
and meagre reports from the lower part of the
parish indicate great damage was wrought.
The cotton gin on the Mound plantation,
belonging to Joe Curryn, was destroyed. The
course Of the storm was from southwest to
northeast, striking Buren, Lake at Locustland,
destroying the public bridge over Choetaw
bayou. Twelve cabins on Locustand were
demolished, killing one colored woman.
At Johnsons Bend, on Lake st. Joseph,
the scene is one of desolation.
Two colored men were killed and two col
ored women and baby from Locustland
were drowned in Lake Buren,, where they
were carried by the fury of the wind
Three barns, containing corn, were destroyed
and much of the corn was blown away. Six
cabins were blown to pieces. Several per-
sons were badly cut and bruised. Thetenants
living in the houses had their clothing and
household effects blown away.
Telegraph and telephone wires are down
and the public road on the Lake St. Joseph
front is covered with fragments of houses,
furniture, clothing cotton, corn and house
hold effects.

Work for the Grand Jury.

If expressed intentions are carried out a
number of alleged violations of the election
law will be presented to the Grand Jury
which convenes next week. The allega-
cations will include cases of bribery and
intimidation, and no one doubts that if the
Grand Jury brings in true bills that the
States Attorney will prosecute with vigor
1t is a serious matter to attempt to in-
fluenee elections by the use of money. 1t
is a wrong to the state, and to the eoun-
try, also, in national elections, and it is
debauching to the manhood of the people.
Il is wrong to take the advantage of vo-
ter necessities to tempt him with money
TO vote contrary to his convictions, and it
is absolute tyranny to threaten tenants with
eviction or to propose to foreclose mort
cages in order to influence votes.
In times of high party excitement men
do that which they know to be wrong, in
their zeal for their cause or candidates, but
published warnings by the States Attorney
should have had a restraining influence
here this year.
The law seems to be ample to adequately
punish violations of the election law, and
if the evidence is sufficient to convict all
good citizens will rejoice that punishment
be melted out to all violators. A few con
victions would have wholesome influence
for the future.

6oinAdence is Restored.

The election of Mckinley, said the Nc
Kinley press and orators, would restore
confidence, cause business activity and help
everybody, particularly the farmers.
Now that confidence is restored the II
nancially oppressed and the unemployed
serenely await the unexampled business
activity.
The farmer is awaiting Il rise in the
price of his products, which are to come
from the opening of the mills, rather than
the opening of minis, which Mckinley
said was the need of the country. When
the mills are opened the unemployed will
be put to work, and with their wages will
be able to buy more bread. This demand
for bread will cause a demand for wheat,
and the demand for wheat will cause a
rise in price This is their theory.
We are glad confidence is restored, and
everybody will patiently await the good
times that are to follow. Speed the time,
for people cannot live long on confidence
