Opiat in Wilmington.

WILMINGTON, Nov. 12.-Last night
Was decidedly unevantful. The city
remained under martial law during the
entire night. Every negro who made
his appearance on the street was halted
by the guard and searched for weapons
aud if any were found they was taken
away. At one of the armories there
is large collection of weapons taken
from negroes, some of which were car
ried by women. There was only one
notable occurrence last night. In the
section of the city where the riots start
ed Thursday two guards and street
Car were fired npon but no damage was
done. Search was made for the persons
who fired the shots, but no trace of them
could be discovered. The police force
will be reorganiZed to-day and Mayor
Waddell has called upon all citizens
to cease carrying arms. The negro
collector OF customs at this port, John
G. Dancy, has appealed to the people
of his race to preserve order and to re-
main at home as much as possible.

COLONEL WILLARD ON THE ELEo
TIoN-"Yes, old Virginia did all we
hoped for in Inc election of solid del
egation to Congress, observed Colonel
]. E. Willard, of Fairfax, at the Ebbitt
House in Washington yesterday. 'In
its loyalty to the democratic party the
Old Dominion is as constant as the
needle to the pole, and I do not believe
the day will ever come-certainly not
in our generation-when it will weaken
in that feally. In the rest of the coun-
try outside the South, the military
spirit evoked by the war beats the dem
ocrats, but any man who thinks the de-
feat is permanent deludes himself ut
rerly. 1t may be that our failure to Sc
Q ire control of the House OF Represent
atives will not prove an unmitigaed
evil, for now the entire responsibility
for legislation rests upon the republic
cans, and in the next general elections
they will be held to strict account by
the voters"

WASHINGTON, D. @. Nov. 12.-Ac-
cording to the latest information re-
ceived here the Kaiser will not go be-
yond Cadiz when he visits Spain. But
be may even go to Madrid aud instead
of travelling incoguito, he may officially
review Camsra's squadron. 10 official
circles the opinion Is we'll founded that
Emperor William nor any other poten
tate will help Spain toretain the Philip
pines. The suggestion that he might
be called upon to act as arbitrator to
decide the sovereignty of the Philip
pines is not regarded seriously. In the
war with Spain he did even declare
neutrality.

THE United States have not only
taxed their people hundreds of millions
of dollars and sacrificed the lives OF
thousands of them to "freen the Cuban
insurgents, but now that that object
has been achieved, are called upon to
educate and feed them, and all this, too,
though the insurgents are demanding
that they be relieved of the presence
of American soldiers and De left to their
own natural pursuits of murder and re-
pine, outrage and anarchy. But coun-
tries that go to war for humanity
should not be surprised at any of its
consequences.

ARREST OF Mr.. DANENHoWER.-Mr
Washington Eisenhower, q we'll
known real estate dealer of Washing
ton, was arrested in that city yesterday
unon an il dictment found by the grand
iury of Baltimore city on the charge ol
obtaining 81 900 under false pretenses
from William Braun, of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Danenhower is held in Washing
ton for a hearing on Wednesday next,
the requisition paper having been at
tackled. 1t is alleged that Danenhow-
er obtained the 81 900 from Mr.. Braun
as q deposit or guarantee of COM
pliance with lease of Bay Ridge
property, for which Eisenhower was
acting as agent, but that he never
turned the money over to the Bay
Ridge Company or made mention Of
having received it.
Mr.. Danenhower says the whole
matter is a piece of spite work on the
part of Baum. He says Braun re-
tained him to assist in securing lease
on Bay Ridge, paying $1,000 for his
services. The lease was never COM
pleted because of the refusal of Mr..
Braun to accept its condition.

The interested trade reviews OF the

parent fctions about the alleged pros
perity that is prevalent throughout the
country and the revived Industry that
they persist in saying is everywhere
apparent. If they did not shut their
eyes and ears to what is going on
around them, but see the idle laborers
lounging or the sunny corners of the
streets in all the villages, towns and
cities of the country, and hear the
merchants and the house owners talk
of the trouble they have in collecting
bills and rents, they might possible be
induced to realize the ridicule to which
they so foolishly subject themselves.
