News received at Paducah, Ky on November 17th, Is to the effect that four Negroes were seriously wounded and five others sprinkled with buckshot by a mob of white men at Altoona. fifteen miles from there, on the Tennessee river. Fifteen Negroes were engaged in cutting timber for the Standard Oil Company. They had been ordered to leave, being told that no Negro would be allowed to stop there. John Keeber, the foreman, decided that there was no danger of violence and the Negroes were sitting around an old smokehouse when a mob of fifty men swooped down upon them and began firing.

Some of the Negroes ran into the woods and others sought refuge in the house with the foreman. The mob then started to burn the house, but the foreman sued for peace and the-Negroes were given twenty-five minutes in which to leave. Tho seriously wounded are: 8mith, foreman; Mitch Clark, John Boyd and Zena Jenkins. They were taken to Paducah. No effort has been made to apprehend the mob.

Not a Negro can be found for miles around Altoona. Several men have been killed by mobs in this neighborhood before. A Cuban Editor Escapes. Senor Coronado, formerly editor of La Discusion, passed through Atlanta, recently on his way to New York bearing im-pc rtant messages from tho Cubans. Coron-ado's paper was suppressed recently and he oseaped from Habana to a schooner which was in the harbor.

The vessel took him to Ntw Orleans An order had been issued for Coronado's arrest and he received notice of it only a few minutes in advance of the visit of officers to hfs home. His offense consisted of printing an account of an execution ofapri oner and uder it was printed the story of a killing, which was headed "Another Murder." Gen. Weyler did not like this and ordered the arrest of the editor. One of his associates has been arrested, tried and transported. Met at Richmond, Va.

Tho Southern Associated Press met in annual session at the Jefferson hotel, in Richmond, and transacted considerable rou- tine business and re-elected the old officers. Mr. M. Glennan, of the Norfolk Virginian, was admitted to the executive committee. Mr.

Edward Atkinson of Boston, who was in the city addressed the meeting at some length on the banking laws and admitted their iniquity and suggested their re-construction. The members of the association visited many points of interest and took a trip to Old Point. To sum it all up, the local members made it very pleasant for the visitors. Edison Makes the Blind See. i Thomas A.

Edison has verified the experi ments reported to have been made in San raneisco in which by means of the cathode ray a blind boy bad been enabled to distinguish light. Edison has recently experimented on two subjects, both blind, from Newark, N.J. Many tubes were tried, each with increased strength and finally the subjects were enabled to distinguish flashes. One of the men was able after a time to say when tb licrht was turned on and off. The most successful results were attained with the aid of a red globe, and it is Edison's intention to continue experimenting in this line until m.ch more satisfactory results are arriyed at which he confidently predict soon.

From the present outlook it seems that po litical agitation win not only not cease with the election, but will be kept up briskly for the next four yeais. hairman Mark Hanna, of the Republican national committee, announced a week ago that he intended to maintain the organization of his committee for the next four years, and that the committee would act as political ad visers td the President, all of the while using every means in its power to crush out what he termai "the free silver heresy." Mr. Bryan's address, urging all silver clubs and other Democratic organizations to maintain their organization and keep up the fight, showed the temper of the Democrats.

It is announced on the highest authority that the Republicans, Democrats and Popu lists will each establish permanent headquar ters here, and will sooa begin the contest for the control of the Congress to be elected in 1893, and for the election of the President in 1900. i Cotton Crop Estimate. Latham, Alexander A of New York, the well-known cotton merchants, have sent out their estimate of the cotton crop of the United States for 1896-' 97. The estimate Is based on 2,240 replies from correspondents throughout the South, embracing farmers and ginners, as well as bankers and cotton buyers, and it makes the total crop 8,022,000 bales.

FEtlS HIMSELF A GUILTY MAN, You Did Not Dar to Publish It (the lrst Letter) Because You Felt Its Arraignment of You to Be Unanswerable. Tom' Watson bos been rubbing more red pepper Into the wounds of Senator Marlon Butlor. In his paper h'i publishes his answer to Butler, and it is without any appearance of conservatism. In his reply Mr. Wat-son says, in part: "You did not dare to publish it (the first letter) because you felt its arraignment of you to be unanswerable.

Mr. Washburne's telegrams (to which I was no party) did not control you in not publishing the letters any more7 than they comfort you now in suppressing it. Tho truth is, Senator, you feel you self to be a deeply guilty mac as, in deed, you are. Instead of managing this great campaign in a spirit of broad patriotism and courageous loyalty to your nominee and party, you have allowed your personal ill-will towaul me to divert you into a tortuous, narrow, jealous land disloyal polity which has shipwrecked the People's Paity and brought the success of Mr. Bryan to a crisis of exceeding peril.

You now plead with mo to pull you out of the hole. I shall do nothing pf the kind. You pecked your way into it and you must peck your way out. "Senator, you were selected aa chairman to help me with this campaign. You were expected to act with mo and for me.

You have not done no. You have acted without me, and you have etd against me. In nothing have you consulted me. At no time have you told me of your plans or your purpose. "In all this you nmy be right and I may bo wrong.

The committee called off by you to one side at Chicago has sustained you and censured me. Therefore my position is most painful. The Bryan-Sewall committee, is against me, and the Bryan-Watson committee is against mo. I stand But, Senator, I was a Populist while you were still camp-lug with the Democrats and I have always been a Middle-of-tlie-ltoad Populist, while you never have been. A fusionist you have always been, and you bargain with the Re publicans in ouo campaign and with the Democrats in the next, lu this campaign you have bargained -with both Republicans and Democrats.

"God only knows which bargain you in- tend to keep. "As for me, I turn from you to appeal the real true-hearted Populist. If I have sinnad against peincipal and right in demanding that our party and its nominees and its ereed be represented by the Democratic party who had cone. to you for help- then I Kant tho party to say so, and I will bow "to Its decree. But I do not recognize your right to'pUt me under the heeW of th Democratic tricksters and bosses, and I shall continue to claim the privilege of speaking And writing for tho national nominees of tho People's Party.

"I do not believe that the time has yet come When Populists will say it is. treason to be loyal to tbePopulist ticket. It is unnecessary for ine to say that my letter of acceptance must stand just as it is written. Yours Thomas E. Watson, Bryan's Biggest Plurality.

Texas will stand at the head ot the States which will give Bryan majorities, there is no telling how big the majority will be in that State, Tip to Saturday last complete returns bad been received from 130 of the 246 organized counties of the State arid they give Bryan 117,133 plurality over McKinley. The counties to report, it is sayl. will run Bryan's pulurality beyoud the mark. Governor Culberson has' only 46.000 plurality from the reported counties, over Kirby, Populist. The full vote State will, it is thought, approximate 550,000 fcvhieh is 150,000 larger ever before cast Colorado will be unlet to Texas in the matter of a majority; Missouri is third, Arkansas fourth, Mississippi fifth, South Carolina Sixth, with the other States following.

A Compress Collapses. At Macon, just after the compress had hut down and while a gang of twenty-five men, in charge of Superintendent Amos Cordson and his brother, Hiram Cordson, were at work on it. the south end of the nlatform at the Central railroad onmnrcss broke down, carrying to the ground 8,000 Vies of cottou and the men at work. Thirteen of the number were injured, but none of them seriously. The superintendent.who was standing in tho middle of tho section that fell, escaped without a scratch.

Consid-sriug the nature of the accident the escape )f the men from death is almost miraculous. Tobacco War Ended. A special from New York says, rumors rtJll continno to be circulated about an impending sentiment of the war that has raged between the two tobacco manufacturers. The Sorg Tobacco Company of Middletown.Ohlo, has announced an advance of 1 cent a pound its three principal grades of plug tobac-so. This is regarded by insiders as an indi-satlon of a final settlement of the tobacco rate war.

Cornering Cuban Tobacco. Reported purchases of Havana tobacco in Baltimore by New York dealers who are, it Is said, endeavoring to corner the market, bas been confirmed by local importers. It is estimated within the past few weeks over 600 bales have been bought in this city Dy New York firms. Owing to the condition of flairs in Cuba a scarcity of this tobacco is looked for by some men in the trade and the move to corner the market- is attributed to this fear. Lumber's Price Advanced.

It bas been definitely arranged that William J. Bryan will take the lecture platform and his first address will be delivered at Atlanta, Ga.f early in December. His route, as far as it has been arranged, will be, after leaving Atlanta, 'Jacksonville, Savannah, Charleston, Angusta, Birmingham and New Orleajs. After leaving he latter City Mr. Bryan will go through Texas, then on to California and Oregon, and will not reach the cities of the East before the latter part of Febraary, 1897.

The man behind the enterprise Is -V. E. Me Bee, of Norfolk, the superintendent os the Seaboard Air Line WATSON Ti A CollldM of Both rlome and Foreign Happenings ARRANGED FOR THE FIRESIDE. Which Will Be of More or Less Interest to the General Reader. General Fitzbuga Lee.

Consul General of the United 8tates to Cuba bas returned from Virginia, where be bas been visiting his family. No time has yet been fixed for bis return to Havaua. but it is understood be has been asked to remain here probably a eouple of weeks longer. In order to hold himself in readiness to confer with the President and Secretary of State over the Cuban situation. General Lee talked of the Spanish Cuban situation, and while not denying the possibility of war with Spain, expressed the opinion that the reports that an open rupture was imminent, and that consequent preparations for: trouble were being made by both countries, might be greatly exaggerated.

He said be bad no knowledge of immediate danger of hostility, though of course there Wts great reeling among some Spaniards against this country who thought that with- I out filibustering, aid and comfort irem here the rebellion might be easily suppressed. He I said he bad no info mation as to whether the Spanish were preparing for war, but they might be making extensive military preparations without aiming them particularly at the United States, in view of the trouble they are having with Cuba and the Philippine Islands. He said: "I do not believe that there has been any massing of armament in Cuba, with a view to possible trouble with the United States, nor that the construction of Spanish war vessels Is to be attributed to any such contingency. The Spanish may be improving their de fences wherever possible, but it does not necessarily imply expectation of war The United States is steadily strengthening Its fortifications and defence works, but it is an old maxim that says, 'in time of peace pre pare for war. 'About the war sentiment in Cuba lhe Spanish officials said nothing to me that indicated an expectation of war.

The only thing that could be construed to give that mpression is the mounting of a battery of heavy scacoast guns along the coast above Havana. There are from twelve to fifteen of these that extend perhaps a mile or a mile and a half north ot the limits of the city These pcint to the sea, and not toward the insurgents. In case of attack it is possible these might be made to supplement the defense given by Moro Castle, the Cabanas and Kienna and other forts. 'The Spanish authorities rather censure the United States for not strictly enforcing the neutrality laws, and many think that, as the sympathy of this country is more with the insurgents than with the Spanish, our government does not want to take the proper precautions to prevent expeditions leaving the United States seaports aid landing in Cuba. I told the Spanish authorities that they must remember that there was an im mense extent of seacoast here, with innumer able Inlets and places where expeditions could be concentrated and embarked.

From the trouble with which they themselves had to prevent the landing of such expeditions ou the Cuban coast, notwithstanding the fact that their gunboats and other vessels were constantly patrolling the ast and on the lookout for filibusters, some idea could be formed of the comparative ease with which the United States authorities could be evaded. With the comparatively small coast line, I know of only one big expeditioiwthat of the Three Friends which has been 'captured by them- Yet this country has certainly prevented the starting of at least half a dozen big expeditioiiS for the, island. In view oi this as an object lesson of the difficulty oi putting a stop to filibustering, 1 contend that the Spanish ought to be careful about censur ing us. The Commissioner General of Immigra tion in bis annual report shows that during the last fiscal year the arrivals of immigrants in this country aggregated 443.267. two- thirds of whom were males.

Of these 566 were landed and 2,799 were debarred and deported at hte expense of various steamship lines by which they came. or those deported 77b were round to be under contract to perform labor in the United Statee made prior to their arrival and 2,023 were returned as belonging to other prohibited classes. In addition 238 who bad become public charges within a year after their arrival were returned to their countries The Commissioner-General states that knows of no.immigrant landed in this coun try during the last year who is now a burden upon any publio or private institution. The amount of money brought into the country by immigrants was fully 4.917,318, and probably largely in excess of that. lhe report says statistics do not justify the conolusion that our alien population is grow ing In undue proportions.

The figures lor tbe past year compared with the average an nual immigration for the preceeding ten fiscal years, discloses a decrease of over 21 per cent. It is stated at the Navy Department, in ex tenuation of the fact that the court of inquiry in the battleship Texas is held behind closed doors, that it is not thought advisable to give publicity to the probable weakness in the ship just at the present juncture when the eyes of other nations are directed to our na val and military affairs. It is learned that the investigation is developing some start ling fact? about the structural strength ol the ship's hull which has caused so much concern since her keel was laid. The most remarkable thing about the recent flooding of the ship is that the water tight doors leak ed and other compartments were flooded in addition to that in which the accident occurred. It is now developed on account ol laak of stiffness' in all the bulkheads of the ship and consequent warping of the frames and plates, that none of tbe doors when closed fitted hermetically, as they should, an the cellular system of the vessel Is there fore practically worthless Albougn the House committee on appro prist'ons meets November 20th lor the com raenoement or work on the appropriation buis me estimates oi tne various aepart meats have not been completed.

The 28th annual banquet ot the New York chamber of commerce was held In New York last week at Delmonico's, and among the 376 guests were the most prominent professional and comercial men of the country, as well as distinguished statesmen and poll ticiana. The followlngjetter was read: Executive Mansion, 1 Washington, Nov. 16 Alexander Orr, President, Etc: My Dear Sir: The pleasure which a participation in the banquets of the chamber of commerce has afforded me In tbe past and the kindly feeling and broad spirit of enterprises which always pervaded those occasions cause me to regret most sincerely that I cannot join the goodly company that will gather around tbe chamber's hospitable board tomorrow evening. Recent events may well cause those who represent business interests to rejoice at their escape from the threatened peril. But while they have gre itest reason for rejoicing and can view with greatest satisfaction the support they have given sound money in the contest recently waged against it; I earnestly hope that in this time of congratulation it will be remembered that constant vigilance and continued effort are required to maintain political conditions but -that absolute safety will only be secured when our financial system is protected by affirmative and thorough reforms.

When our business, men are habitually alert and watchful and when they are active, fully aroused to the importance of such legislative action concerning our finances as business methods approve and the welfare of the entire country requires, much good may confidently be anticipated, not only in the accomplishment of political results, bu lin the revival of healthful influences through an assurance to the people that business and patriotism are becoming more and more united.
