seems to be some hope Of a settlement
of the difficulties between the striking
miners and factory workers and their
employers which have given rise during
the past two days to rioting which has
kept the city in a state of terror. Gen
eral Zappino, acting as a sort OF 60
between for the employers and en-
ployees, continues his efforts to bring
about settlement. There are no other
developments today. The night passed
quietly and no disturbances are reported
today. The military authorities have
today been aided in keeping. order by a
terrific downpour of rain which has ef-
fectually kept the strikers quiet.
Paris, Oct. 30.--In the Chamber Of
Deputies today socialist members Ernest
Roche Jules, Coutant and Marie Edouard
Valiant, interpolated Premier Combes

sorting to mob law had legitimately
defended their rights. Premier Combes
replied, casting the responsibility on pre-
feet of police Lepine He said he would
institute an inquiry into the affair. The
discussion became hot, and finally the
order of the day was called for. The

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT having de-

a hand in Maryland State politics and
endeayor to weaken Senator German,
who, he fears, will be his successful
opponent next year, the Senator has
decided to cross swords with Mr.. Roose-
welt at once, so has taken personal charge
of the democratic campaign in Mary

SECRETARY SHAW spoke in Boston
Yesterday on the tariff and suggested a
shin subsidy as an incentive to built up
foreign trade, especially with South
America. If possible the republican
leaders will force a ship subsidy measure
upon the people during the next session
of Congress and if one reason for doing
so is not sufficient they will have others.
The money is in the treasury and the
sbipowners hold that if they do not get
it some one else will.

Cahinet Omcer snubbed.

New Orleans, Oct. S0.--James L.
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, was
deliberately snubbed by w. p. Brown,
the "Cotton King" when he visited the
New Orleans exchange Wednesday.
The fact was suppressed at the time.
The cabinet officer who came to New
Orleans to deliver an address before the
Mississippi River Improvement Associ-
alton, accepted an invitation to visit the
floor of the exchange. As Secretary
Wilson entered the exchange, Brown,
although be knew him intimately, re-
mainded close around the ring while
the visitor was being shown around The
exchange by more friendly members
Several operators who made money on
the Brown campaign and who know Mr..
Wilson well. turned their backs on him
and with Mr.. Brown declined to shake
the cabinet officers hand. The re-
ception accorded the cabinet officer was
so chilly that he afterward told his friends
that he did not care ever to visit the
exchange again. A member OF the New
Orleans cotton exchange explained the
snub by saying. "Mr. Wilson, in an
interview last August, took advantage
of his official position and made most
unjust attack upon the leaders of the
bull campaign in this market, claiming
that their operations were interfering
with the general trade and forcing I'M
natural conditions. His statements al
the time were construed as meaning
that he favored and was partial to the
interests of the spinners of the world"

THAT NEGRO NOMINEE.

A Buckingham man gives an inter-
esting and picturesque story in explaua-
ton of the recent nomination of Zach.
Griffin, colored man, for overseer of the
poor by the democrats of one of the dis
tricts of the county. The Old Dom;n-
ion Sun, republican, has been kicking up
good deal of sand over this nomination
and apparently is trying to use it as u
campaign weapon. 1t seems, however,
that Grifin's nomination is no new thing,
the white people of the district having
made him their candidate and elected
him number of years consecutiyely.
The beginning of this is away back
in the stormy and dark reconstruction
times, just after the war thirty-fve years
ago, while the federal soldiery was still
in garrison in various parts Of the State.
Griffin from the day slavery disappear
ed was friend of the white people and
consistently sided with them. In the
neighborhood where he lived arrived
person from the North named Warner,
who proceeded 10 set himself up in
business as a politician by catering to
the negro vote. He lived in the house
with negroes, slept and ate with them
and on all occasions proclaimed the
absolute equality of the races as zealously
as Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger. He
announced himself to be in favor of
miscegenation and mixed schools. The
neighborhood was in turmoil over
these developments and at last the young
men there improvised Klu-klux ar
rangement and one night surprised and
oyerpowered Warner and took him TO the
woods. His clothes were removed and
Zach. Griffin, who was in the party anda
foremost man, was assigned to do the
whipping. He laid on the lashes with pre-
cisicn and all the power Of pair Of
very muscular arms, and when he finish
ed Warner was nearly dead. The recipient
of this little neighborly attention ''put
out for Farmyille about as he was and is
said to have covered twenty-five miles in
his bare feet and with nothing between
him and heaven but a shirt The Fede-
raj officer in command of the garrison
there, Captain Jackson, formally inves-
tigated the affair, but failed to find any
evidence against anybody, as all the
participants stood by each other. Zach,
was closely INTERCEPTED, but his appear
ance and proestations of innocence dis
armed suspicion. Jackson was not be-
lieved to be very Jealous in the affair,
anyhow, as he had been heard to hint
personal opinion that Warner 90. about
what he deserved. Since that time
Griffin and the white people of his part
of the country have been bound together
more closely than ever He is a highly
respected and hard working man and
has accumulated property valued at some
ten or twelve thousand dollars. The
Buckingham people stand pat on their
negro overseer of the poor and the Old
Dominion Sun isinvited to take the facts
and make the most of them Rich

RECORDER Brown POISONED. The
verdict Of the coroner's jury on the death
of ex-City Recorder Joseph Owen Brown
in Pittsburg, Pa, was reached yesterday
evening, after fourteen sittings and is as
follows:
ave the jury, find that Joseph Owen
Brown, aged 81 years months 7 days,
married, and by occupation city recorder,
and residing at 1903 Mckee place, Pitts
burg, Pa, came TO his death suddenly
at above residence on Sunday, March 10,
1903, about 4:05 O'Clock p. m. from
poison, said poison having been adj
ministered by some unknown person or
persons; and from the evidence and post
mortem examination made, and also the
chemical analysis made of his vital
organs, we find his death was due to
the above cause"
The death Of Recorder Brown occurred
a few days after his resignation as city
recorder at the close of ayear' bitter fac
tional fighting in local politics. There
were vague rumors OF suicide at the time,
but the death was generally attributed to
collapse from overwork and mental stress.
The suicide rumors, however, reached the
ear of J. r. p Brown, of Nebraska, a
brother of the deceased recorder, and he
went to Pittsburg to investigate, and on
April 25 had the body exhumed and a
nost- mortem examination held After
the postmortem, the vital organs were
sent to Philadelphia for chemical analy-
sis. ExRecorder Brown left an estate
of considerable value, in which his wife,
from whom he had been separated, sew
eral nephews, and some close friends
were made benefciaries by his will. The
verdict of the coroner's jury leaves the
case about where it has been all along,
beyond officially determining that he did
not commit suicide or die from natural
causes

IT IS stated N Richmond that the

ready for the voting. The democratic
headquarters there are still open but
there is no activity and the chair
man and secretary have little to

counties are there serious contests on
the legislative ticket and in large
majority of the cities, towns and coun-
ties where the democrats made nominal
tons for local offices these nominees
will be chosen; so there is little to
excite interest. Since the new election
laws went into effect many people have
lost interest in politics and the vote in

SITUATION IN BILBAO.

The garrison of Bilbao, Spain, has
been reinforced, but the troops still
have difficulty in coping with the riot
ing strikers, who constantly erect new
barbados as the old ones are torn
down BY the soldiers. The city presents
a sorry spectacle, owing to the wide
spread destruction wrought by the mobs.
The rioters used dynamite in several in
stances to blow in the doors of the
Jesuits' houses and to destroy the rail-
road tracks, with the object of prevent
ing trains from entering Bilbao. Famine
prices are already being charged for
provisions. Even bread is so scarce
that loaves are selling at four pesetas
(about rs cents apiece. Six persons
were killed and 100 injured during
Wednesdays conflicts. Hundreds OF
terror-stricken people have fed from
the city. The railroad employees now
threaten to join the strikers. The
strikers are threatening to attack the
Galdacano dynamite factory. A large
force has been sent to protect the works.
About $50, 900 workers in other indus
tries of Barcelona have joined the glass
works strikers at that place. Among
the exciting incidents at Bilbao yester-
day was the action of party of rioters
who stormed house, took possession OF
it, fortified the building and held it for a
long time against the troops before the
rioters were ultimately dislodged. Gen
eral Zappoui marched into Bilbao yes
terday with an infantry regiment, two
squadrOns of cavalry and battery oil
artillery. Minor strike riots are report
ed to have occurred in neighboring
villages. Strikers at Arenas attacked
the Monastery of the Trinity and the
monks fed. The troops were obliged to
fire on and then charge and disperse the
mob. Several men were killed or wound
ed, including some soldiers.
