Indianapolis, Ind. August Alt leaked
out at Republican State headquarters to-
day that their poll. just completed, shows
Indiana to be Democratic by 1900 major
fty.
This revelation threw The Republican
leaders into . state OF frenzy and con-
sternation. Chairman Hernly secretly IS
sued call for a meeting Of the State
Executive Committee. To the members OF
the committee Hernly said that at the
present time the State IL in the hands OF
the Democrats. and 1t viii take a heroic
effort for the Republicans to get 1t back
before election.
Poll books were carefully gone over,
and the members Of the committee them
selves verified the report that the State Is
Democratic by 1900 majority. The Re
publican poll shows that the greatest
change from the Republican to the Demo
cratic column is in the counties compris-
ing the gas belt. This Is due to the opera
ton of the trusts in that section Of the
State
Many Of the largest and most important
manufacturing plants Of the cities In the
gas belt have been closed within the
last two years, and thousands OF men
have been thrown out Of employment
In Anderson, Mr.. Durbin's home city.
hundreds of laboring men have been
thrown out of employment within the last
year, as a result of the operations OF the
trusts, and they will vote the entire
Democratic ticket.-Philadelphia Record.

Much mis- chief would have been done by the negroes but for the action of the white merchants and railroad employees of the town, who fought the blacks successfully. Several ne- groes were wounded, but none fatally, and several white men were injured.
 The negroes sent word that they intended to visit the town again today and kill the policeman. At least fifteen or twenty peo- ple on the two sides were injured.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, September PA falling
off in receipts and export sales were
responsible tor stubborn wheat mar
ket to-day, October closing Ac over
yesterday. Corn closed 1sc lower and
oats shade down. Provisions closed
a shade to &c higher
October wheat opened unchanged at
773s to 7714c and soon after touched
771sc, feeling being rather bearish be-
cause of favorable weather in the north
west. A report that the French crop
estimate is now 100000 less than a
month ago, stiffened the views of hold
ers and a reaction began. This was
helped along by liberal falling off in
the aggregate receipts at the big west
ern markets. These two factors were
the chief influences in an advance in
October to 77a4@7sc. The bulge
brought out profit seeking wheat and
the market declined to 77Ac, where
it steadied on reports of good export
sales and the close was firm, October
Nc higher at 771s@Bc. The seaboard
reported 80 loads taken for the other
side, while export sales here were 255,-
900 bushels and at Kansas City 100000
bushels. Seaboard clearanceS in wheat
and -four were equal to 467 900 bushels.
Primary receipts aggregated $4,000
bushels, compared with 1,122,000 BUSH
els last year. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported 444 cars against 418 last
week and 974 year ago. Local re-
ceipts were 278 cars, 13 of contract
grade. The milling demand from the
Central States was reported by cash
handlers to be excellent
Business in the corn pit was quite
small, Notwithstanding the nervousness
indicated by frequent variations in
delivery. Receipts overran the esti-
mates and there was sudden and lib
eral increase in offerings from Iowa to
last nights bids. The most discourage
ing feature Of the general trade was
the complete stoppage of all shipping
demand in the east at workable figures.
Mibs were reported one cent out of the
way. Receipts were 721 cars. Octo-
Der sold between 40$sc and 40c, and
closed &c lower at 40c.
Oats were dull and featureless and
the general situation was unchanged.
October sold between &c and 21Bc,
and closed shade down at 21Hc. Re-
ceipts were 1877 cars.
Provisions were dull but firm, sus-
tanned by demand from local shorts
and packers. The opening was easy
because of liberal hog receipts. Janu-
airy pork sold between $11.50 and
S11.621z, and closed sc higher at SLIGO;
January lard between 675 and $3.50,
closing shade up at S7.77h@7S0; and
January ribs between $6.12k@6.20,
with the close 2b05c improved at
$6.17A.
Estimated receipts tomorrow:
Wheat, $40 cars; corn, TAO cars; oats,
240 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
