 Two shocking tragedies followed each other so quickly here tonight that before the excitement of one had died away the other had been committed. N K. Graves was assassinated and in ten minutes Arthur Maxwell was shot and killed.
 At 7:90 o'clock Dick Dckerson a negro aged about 50 years. who has been regarded as crazy, slipped up to a point near win dow of the bedroom of the store of St. Clair & Love1aee and, firing through, shot and mortally wounded Graves. There was no warning, and Graves had no idea that the negro even entertained any i'll feeling towards him.
 MT. St. Clair was in the room at the time and he fired three shots at the fleeing ne- gro, but the crazy assassin escaped. The shooting created tremendous excitement, and Arthur Maxwell was among the num- Der who gathered around the store. In ten minutes after the first shot Dickerson rushed up to a point behind a tree and again fired. Maxwell fell to the ground and in moment was dead. The doube assassin again escaped.

 New York

New York, November 12.-Shortly after breakfast Admiral Dewey was joined by his son, George, and the two left the Waldorf Astoria They stroIled over to the elevated road and took a train for South Ferry. Few people recognized them as they walk ed along the street, and there were no such demonstrations as occurred on Friday and Saturday morning, which caused the ad- miral to announce that he would leave the city unless the enthusiasm was controlled. When they entered the elevated train number of persons recognized the admiral and his son and passed through the car in which they sat, but did not appear to annoy him. The admiral left for New York shortly after o'clock. On the way over there were about 200 people on the boat, and when some one passed around the word that Admiral Dewey was on board every one made a rush for his part of the boat. The admiral did not seem to like it, and some one was thoughtful enough to suggest that the admiral did not like too Close friendship and the crowd seemed to take the cue When the boat reached her slip the people rushed off ahead of the admiral and lined the passageway on both sides as he and his son passed between the two lines Admiral Dewey went straight nome to the Waldorf-Astoria, and he ana ms party dined in their apartments at $ O'CLOCK Mrs. Dewey and an acquaintance or hers from Washington left the apartments Tn the afternoon. when they went for drive in Central Park and along the Riverslde d,.iua

IRON MARKET
Roger, Brown 81 Company's Review for
 Week Ending Saturday

Cincinnati, November 12-(special) )-Rog- CTS, Brown Co. issue the following re- view of the iron market for the week end ing yesterday:
 The history af the past week has been a repetition of the record for many preced- ing weeks, and there has been no special feature of the market worthy of particular notice.
 several round lot orders have been en- tered fer various deliveries, some beginning at once and running three, four and five months and some beginning January and extending six months, and others commence ing March and April and running into the autumn next year. A fair volume of busi- ness of the week has come from the buyers of 100 to 800 ton lots, and the small and car lot orders have been about as numerous as ever.
 The result of the election in this state on Tuesday was looked for with interest by the thoughtful and prudential, as to its fa- voring CT criticising the national and state administrations. That result is known and is pronounced favorable to the present po- litical plans and promises. Whether the election had anything to do with it can not be determined, but since "Wednesday inquiries have been more numerous. The market closes strong.

JAPAN VIGILANT
Affairs Strained Between That Country
 and Russia

London November 12.-Hunry orders have been received by the builders of the Japa- nese battleship now in process of construc- tion at Clyde bank, to complete the vessel as speedily as possible.
 The new ship, which will be one of the largest afioat, is ito be finished by January 1, 1900.
 It is belived that these instructions are the result of increasing tension between Ja- pan and Russia.
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
 "An uneasy feeling regarding the rela- tions of Russia and Japan is spreading here. There is no doubt that Japan is practically allied with China, despite the degradation which the empress dowager in- flicted upon the Chinese envoys to Japan on their recent return. This was merely tactical move, with a view of appeasing Russia
 "A large Russian fleet intended to winter in Nagasaki harbor, and some remonstrance by Japan is probable. Prince Henry, of Prussia, the commander of the German squadron in the North Pacific, is watching the progress of events. He recently de- clared in the course of conversation that the Japanese army was in splendid condi- tion from the European point of view"
 The Daily Mail says: I've understand there is considerable censorship on cable messages from Japan.'

Schley's Opinion

Chattanooga, Tenn, November 12.-A cor respondent of the Huntsville Mercury while at Birmingham talked with Admiral Schley last Tuesday and asked him if he thought the building of the Nicaraguan canal would be an advantage to the United States. Ad- miral Schley is quoted as saying:
 ''I consider it imperative that the cahaI be built at once It would then enable us to mobilize our fleets on either coast on short notice and would facilitate our defense in case of war, and render the American navy invincible. And then it would open up the way to the Orient where ready market can be found for our cotton, iron and coal"

BOYCOTT PROBABLE
Result of Decision to Allow Non-Union
 Men in Mines

Knoxville. Tenn, November 12-Informa- tion reached this city tonight announcing that the Ducktown Sulphur, Copper and Iron company had perfected arrangements whereby six hundred non-union men would enter the mines and mills tomorrow morn ing.

F. l.. McGruder, organizer for the American Federation of Labor, of which these five men are said to be members, are in Ducktowa and has been since the 600 men went on a strike three weeks ago.
 McGruder will go to Blue Ridge, Ga, to consult with the engineers and firemen of the Atlanta. Knoxville and Northern rail- road in an effort to have them boycott the cars loaded by non-union labor by refusing to pull the cars out of Ducktown to this city and Marietta, and also by refusing to haul coal, coke and other supplies from this city to Ducbtown, to be delivered to the DuclQtown company. This road is the only outlet for the cOmpany's output and it's only source for hauling supplies in from elsewhere. It is stated by union men that even if the Atlanta, Knoxville and North ern engineers and firemen consent to han dle this freight while non-union men are employed at Ducktown, the Southern rail- way man here and the Nashville, Chatta- noogo and St. Louis men at Marietta will refuse to take it from the Atlanta, Knox yi1le and Northern It is not known what will be the outcome of the situation.
