PREPARING FOR OUTBREAK.
French Government Is Getting Ready
 for Trouble With Miners.

Paris, November 9.-The government Is taking precautions to handle another out break on the part of striking miners. in case the decision reached last night to continue the strike is followed by vio- lence. Troops were active in the mining regions throughout the day, but no seri- ous disorders have as yet been reported. The authorities believe that the crisis in the strike Is near, and that the next twenty-four hours will settle the ques- tion whether the men hold to their decis- ion to continue the movement. or strag- gle back to the mines.
 Following the decision of the miners congress to continue the strike, there were d1sorderly occurrences in Lens (Pas DeCalias) last night. The cavalry charged repeatedly crowd of 1400 riot ious strikers and succeeded in keeping them from advancing. Considerable minor damage was done.
 At Courrieres (Pas DeCalias) houses of non-strikers were sacked and a number of coal wagons were burned.
 A clash between strikers and gen. darmes and cavalry Is reported from Clermont Ferrand (Puy de Dome), but 1t was not attended with serious results.
 From some mining centers it is report ed that the miners are likely to return to work tomorrow, in spite of the decision of the congress to the contrary

A MoRMoN sENAroR ceMINe.

From the Boston Herald
 The election of the republican ticket in Utah by a large majority Is reported. The republican and Mormon alliance has completely swept the state, as naturally would have been the case. The only issue that was ever superior to that of Nor monism in power in Utah was the issue of free silver, and that Is of the past. Mormonism controls everything there. and the republican politicians are smart enough to ally themselves with 1t. They succeeded in choosing a millionaire sen- ator who was not a Mormon a year ago, but it was done under an arrangement then consummated that the republicans should send a Mormon to the senate when the next choice of a senator was made. He is now coming. and. as we re- marked recently, he is Elder Shoot of the Mormon church.

BLAME OYSTER COCKTAILS.
They Reqpire Little Bivalves, and the
 Beds Are Depicted.
From the St. Louis Star.

From the St. Louis Star.
 Oyster planters are complaining that the oyster cocktail has wrought famine in the oyster trade of America. The com plaint comes home to St. Louis, because the oyster cocktail originated in ths town.
 The demand for small-sized oysters throughout the country has been so great that the oyster beds have been gleaned too fine. So it happens that the crop of oysters for 19o2-O3 Is far below what the present demand calls for.
 Agents for the Chesapeake and New York shippers now in the city reported today that they were declining to take additional contracts, except from regu- lar customers They say many of the oyster beds cannot be touched this year on account of the poor condition of the shells. Shell oysters are running half as large as customary they say.
 Meltio of Wash street says the aver age shucked in the Baltimore packing houses this year is seven pints of bulk oysters to the bushel. One large ship per today received half his order of counts in culs. The New York shippers telegraphed that no house could do bet ter.
 The effect of this on the oyster eater is to cut down the number of bivalves in the soup. The standard pint of bulk oyster has less meat and more 'liquor ' Liquor in the oyster trade is the techni- cal name of hydrant water.
 
 solid, four quarts to the gallon. They go to the consumer at seven quarts to the gallon. The three quarts are melted ice and Mississippi river water.
 At present market quotations a gallon of oysters costs $1.O7. These should sell for 40 cents a quart But consumers re- member last years price of 30 cents a quart. Ordinarily retailers haven't the nerve to raise their prices. Opposition Is too great so they fix things ittle'' and make the price 25 cents. The gallon yields s1.75. and all goes we'll
 Blame the oyster cocktail for this. don t roast the market man. Every saloon in oyster cocktail business. People imagine all cocktails grow in saloons.
 For a time the oyster cocktail was a mystery. At 25 cents on the high-toned cafe bill 1t was neglected; but at 10 cents in every saloon, 1t promises to become the national drink"
 Really, the oyster cocktail has no busi- ness in saloons. It's proper habitat is the hotel kitchen. It takes master hand to make genuine San Francisco oyster cocktail; and 35 cents Is cheap for 1t when it is properly made. The Decent variety deserves another name. Still. peo- pie ask for it in the saloon Oyster deal CTS have prepared signs advertising To- cent cocktails and have distributed them in the saloons. This makes the demand greater.

Stirman, an old Kentucky family. She was herself born in Kentucky, and brought up in the doctors family. At one time the doctor was making an in- vestment in Colorado gold mining land. Mrs. Davis overheard the doctor giving a glowing account of wealth made in a min ute in the gold districts, and at once wished to invest small sum of money. which she had saved up. The doctor finally consented to. place $10 for the wo- man in a piece of land in Plainfield, near Cripple Creek. With the money he bought a small piece of ground, 125 feet by 150, in Mrs. Davis name.
 This was ten years ago. It was gen. orally thought some time afterward that the district in which the land was locat ed was worthless. but the young colored girl could not be induced to part with her property, and clung to the idea that per haps some day it would be worth some thing. She had about given up this hope when a few days ago, her brother states. Cripple Creek mining company offered Mrs. Davis, who now lives in Chicago, s6OO.OOO for the property.
 Mrs. Davis consulted a lawyer, who ad- vised her that if the company wanted to buy the land for s6OO,OOO it was probably worth much more. She at once answered to the company that she would sell the land for sl 000, 900. At the same time she sent an expert to the district to make an examination into the property to test it's value.

Negro Who Killed Another at Darling
 ton ls Under Arrest.

Florence, November .-(Special.)-Be ford Davis, colored, was captured here Friday afternoon by the local police. He killed another negro yesterday after noon in Darlington and was fleeing from justice. He claims that the negro hit him in the mouth with a rock and his statement Is corroborated by his appear ance-he is minus several of his front teeth. He went home and got his pistol and returned and shot the negro dead. An officer from Sheffield came for Davis and took him back to Darlington.
 Mrs. Mike Malone, wife of the tax as- sessor of this county, was the victim of very painful accident yesterday. She was driving to town in a buggy be- hind an old. gentle family horse, when the animal without any provocation com- menced kicking and ran and jumped over a wire fence into a cotton field. Mrs. Malone was kicked in the face and had a finger broken. An artery was cut in the horses leg, and 1t will probably die. One shaft of the buggy was broken and the harness was demolished.

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Outlook Encouraging But Practical,
 No Business Was Done.

London, November 9.-The general out look on the stock exchange last week was fairly encouraging, but practically no business was done. The American elections, the improved financial situa- ton in Wall street and the excellent traffic reports of home railroads were all quoted by the optimists as pressaging a return of the markets activity, but the net result was merely some small invest ment buying of the best class of securi- ties.
 The fact Is that the immense amount of stock of every sort which is carried on borrowed money, hangs over the mar ket, and is only awaiting slight inn provement to make profits and get clear. London wants New York to start the upward movement; until this is done there will be light prospect of excite ment here Money was fairly abundant last week, rates tending to be lower.

Elizabeth, N. J., November s.-A man about twenty years old who says he came to this city to shoot United States Sem ator Kean, Is locked up at headquarters. He says he is F. H. Robinson and that he comes from Corning, N. Y. He reached here today and after he had loitered at railroad station for some time, a po- liceman asked him what he was doing there.
 The man calmly replied that he had come from New York for the purpose of shooting Senator Kean. He refused to talk any more except to say that he was a reporter. He declined to explain his en- mity toward Senator Kean or why he had intended to shoot him.

FAILED TO PLACE SCREENS.
Large Number of Affidavits Against
 New Orleans Railway Company.

New Orleans, November 9.-A large number of affidavits were sworn out to- day against President Pearson and the officials of the New Orleans Railway company, resulting from their failure to place screens or partitions in the street cars to separate the white and negro races.
 The law was passed last July and the company allowed 12O days in which to arrange for the screens. The company declares that the contractors are behind. It has been learned, however, that the contract was only given in October. There is intense feeling here over the law which is bearing most harshly upon the whites, owing to the inadequate mum Der of cars that are being operated dur ing the rush hours.
