TO TAKE UP ARMS AGAINST CASTLE

Madrid, Nov s2pTThe government has received official advices from the island of Porto, Rico. saying that extensive pre- cautions are being taken there to prevent surprises by filibusters in the event of the news received from Cuba and the Phil. lipines being of such a character as to encourage a rising of the islanders.
 The defenses of the island are being examined and strengthened, as many well known separatists have recently dis appeared, leading to the suspicion that they are organizing an instruction. All the houses and their inmates as well are being registered and the landing places where filibusters might attempt coup are closely guarded by sentinels.
 The secret societies which have long existed in Porto Rico have recently in creased their activity and documents re- gently seized by the authorities indicate that preparations are being made for a rising at an early date.

WEEKLY TREND OF TRADE Volume of Business Continues to
 Gain. MANY INDUSTRIES START Adding Greatly to the Number of Those Able
 N Buy Bread. COTTON sf'Nuts TO STEADILY FALL While 1 ications Point to an Increase in 7 g ie Estimated Yield-Iron
 and Steel on the .T Decline.
sflNuES TO STEADILY FALL

New York, Nov. 20.-R. G. Dun & Co. will say tomorrow in their weekly review of trade: The gain in volume of business ness continues entirely without prece- dent. More than 390 establishments have started work since the election, which were idle, and at least 300 have increas- ed working force. Every day thus adds thousands to the number of those who are able to buy a weeks supplies and make up gradually for many months of forced economy. Already this brings great increase in the volume of business and the clearing house exchanges for the first time in several years, not only ex- ceed those of last year by 10 per cent, but also exceed those of the same week in 1892 by per cent. Business men are all anxious to prevent anything like the fictitious excitement of last summer, and in nearly all branches an excessive rise in prices is prevented. But, with more hands at work, there is inevitably a greater demand for SUD- plies, materials and products
 The demand for freight room, both here and on the Pacific coast is still so large as to disclose an extraordinary foreign demand. Cotton has declined from to 7.62 cents In spite of the start ! ing of so many cotton mills, and the controlling fact of moment is that re- ports of a yield smaller than S0O0O00 bales are now entirely discredited. The quantity coming into sight has exceeded last years by 820,000 bales, and 1t is not expected that the decrease in the re- maining months of the year will bring the aggregate below S500000 The ex-' port demand does not abate, although temporarily checked while prices were above cents and the increase of $9 400. !. 900 in value of cotton exported in Octoi Der contributed more than any other single item to make the aggregate ex-. ceed that of the same month in any pre- vious year. f7l
 In the transition period, industries re, in prices of Bessemer pig iron and of finished products of iron and steel Is part :. ly due to realizing on speculative pur- chases before the election, and partly to the selling of nails by jobbers below tia common price. For most manufactured products of Iron there is better demand and a slow advance in prices. Ship-t ments of boots and shoes for three weeks in November have been 1S3,027 cases against 174,178 last year, but while the works have orders for some time ahead, neither manufacturers nor dealers are disposed to do much because of the un- certainty about prices, those of boots and shoes being about il per cent above the lowest point, leather 163 per cent and hides 51.4 per cent, the latter again rising at Chicago. In cotton and woolen goods no serious changes appears, though there Is continued weakness in cottons and print cloths are 1-16 lower.
 Failures for the week have been 344 in the United States against 332 last year and 40 in Canada against 42 last year.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR
Adopt Is to 1 Standard Plank-Ringno Resolutions Demanding Protection
 for the Masses. Gil

R&6ester, N. Y. Nov 2O.-The general assembly of the Knights of Labor had Q rather lively session this morning. The recommendations of General Master Workman Sovereign were Indorsed by the adoption of an addition to plank 17 of the preamble of the order to read "and that gold and silver, when so issued, shall be by the free and unlimited coin- age at the ratio of IS to 1, regardless of the action of any other nation" f'
 The following resolutions, sent In by District Assembly No. fl, of Maryland, were adopted:
 Whereas It is believed by many. and is now a demonstrable fact, that the great objection by the money power of the country to the democratic and peoples party platforms in the recent campaign were those blanks of the preamble of the Knights of Labor, which plank in brief put the party in line with the people In opposition to the issuance of more gov- ernment bonds, and favored the issu- ance by the government of all necessary medium of exchange direct to the people. without the intervention of the banks: and,
 Whereas, The various chambers of commerce and boards of trade and bank ing associations of every kind have al- ready commenced their warfare on the currency known as greenbacks and treas ury notes, with a view to having them all
  sued therefor, thereby leaving the cir- culating medium of the people entirely under the control of the national banks of the country; therefore. be 1t
 Resolved, That the general assembly of the Knights of Labor in convention asf sembled denounce this attempt so soon to be made to take from the government of the people the sovereign right to issue money and to pledge ourselves to re- newed efforts to defeat this nefarious scheme.
 Resolved, That we call on the people everywhere to watch their representa- tives In congress and demand from them such legislation that will continue the use and issuance of government money in preference to money of private corpora tions (national banks) and the reserva- tion of the peoples sovereign rights as enuncated by Hamilton, Jefferson and Jackson.
 Copies of the new plank relating to free silver will be sent to all the local as,; semblies and each will act separately upon it.

FIRED HOUSE AND BARN.

Columbus, Miss, Nov. 20.-An outrage ous crime was committed about five miles north of 4his city Wednesday night, when the house of Sanders Swarrenger. a peaceable negro, was surroundedf by a mob of white men, who set fire to the barn, where his cotton was stored. and then fired his house. In the meantime, members of the mob began shooting at Swarrenger, who tried to defend him. self with a shotgun. The gun failed to work, however and Swarrenger ran to the house of Thomas Blewett, a white man, living near by. Blewett's daugh- ters were so frightened by the shots and the sight of the fleeing negro that they ran to the woods in their night clothes.
 One of the ringleaders is in jail, and a party of citizens are hunting the rest of the gang. The reason that the party gave for the attack is that the negro killed a dog belonging to one of the Fem derberg boys some time ago.

THE REPORT NoravERIFIED. ;

Washington, Nov .2Os--rUp to the hour of closing today the postofice depart ment had received no- advices to the effect that the bondsmen of Postmaster Armour at Memphis had been, called upon to make good shortage of $12,3O0 as alleged in a special dispatch from Memphis to a St. Louis paper. i, The story was doubted by thes chief postof1ce in- spector, who would naturally hear im- mediately. as Inspector Little in the Memphis division passes most of his time at that point. Postmaster General Wilson had heard nothing of it. The story further aueges that several months ago the postmaster had been found $6.2O0 short, but it had been made good. Post master-General Wilson said that that have heard of it at the lime had such a thi6k occurred.
