NEGROES ORGANIZING
TRADE TOPICS.
THEY HAVE FOUND THAT THEY HAVE
POWER.
Tho Backbone and Mainstay of the Repub-
lican Party About to Go Back On It
— Sharp Republicans Fear
Disaster.
Washington, Nov. 15.—Last night branch
No. 1 of the Afro-American league was or-
ganized here at No. S00 New York avenue,
and a full set of officers elected. It is given
out that the condition of the negroes in the
United States is the subject to which tho
league will devote itself, and on January 15,
1800, delegates from tho various branches
will meet at Nashville, Tenn. The mem-
bers of the branch jtiat organized here are
not talking much about it, but it is under-
stood that its members are oath-bound.
Similar branches are being organized in all
the large cities and towns of the northern
states. Their purpose is unquestionably
political, and the object is to bulldoze the
republican party. The negroes demand
their pro rata of offices in the north, in-
cluding postmasterships, internal revenue
collectorships, consulships and other po-
litical plunder allotted to the different
states in which they reside. They claim
that if their demands are not concedcd
they will make music in 1893. One of the
keenest indictments the negroes have
against tho administration is the effort
to organize an exclusive white man's re-
publican party in the south. Since Mr.
Har.ison nrst launched this policy he has
relented to a certain extent, but not enough
to satisfy the negroes. The negroes have
direct and positive proof that the original
call for the organization of a whito man's
protection-republican party in the south
was drafted in the law office of Partner Mil-
ler at Indianapolis. ParsOns of Alabama,
Pitkiu of Louisiana, Longstreet and Buck
of Georgia and Partner Miller were present.
This, it is but just to state. w<u before Mil-
ler became attorney-general, and before
Harrison was inaugurated as president.
Miller, Pitkin and Parsons labored to bring
forth the document that was expected to
throw the negro overboard and set the
south allro with enthusiasm for protection
and republicanism.
General Longstreet went into 'the move-
ment at first, but on the advice of Buck he
retreated, liuck opposed the movement
from the beginning. The country ia fa-
miliar with tho famous call for -the Ala-
bama meeting and wkh the meeting itself.
The original draft of the call in the hand-
writing of Pitkins with interlineations in
the handwriting of Parsons and Miller is
now iu the possession of a prominont New
York negro, who is taking an active inter-
est in the organization of tho Afro-Ameri-
can league. The negroes thoroughly under-
stand that Miller would not have taken a
hand in a movement involving such broad
consequences unless ho had the consent and
approval of Harrison. The threo men
who drafted the "call" for the "white
party" were appointed to office soon
afterward. Miller became attorney-gen-
eral, Parsons United States attorney for
Alabama, and Pitkins minister to '.the Ar-
gentine republic. In fact, every man who
signed tho call for the Birmingham meet-
ing has been given an office, while Buck is
the only man who opposed the movement
who has horn provided for. Kellogg, Long-
street and others, who remained friendly to
the negro republicans, are very much in'the
soup. It is believed here that if Longstreet
gave Ills support to the lily white party in
the south he would have been given an im-
portant office close to a cabinet place.
There is no longer a doubt that the north-
ern iTbgroes are almost in a state of rovolt
against the Harrison administration, and
proof is piling; up from all sources that
their purpose is to compol what they doom
proper recognition of their race at tho
hands of the republican party, or carry
their votes elsewhere. The full import of
this movement is understood by shrewd re-
publican leaders, and is beginning to dawn
upon Mr. Harrison himself. The negroes
claim that by refraining from voting in
New York, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Mas-
sachusetts these states will become reliably
democratic. No white republican politician
is ready to contest this claim.
It. G. Dun & Co.'s Review of Trade for the
Past Week.
New York, Nov. 15.—According to Eras-
tus Wiman of It. G. Dun & Co. business
continues healthy, confident and unprece-
dented in volume. Long ago it was held
that the year's results would turn upon the
crops, and it is now certain that the yield
has been on the whole about the largest
evdr known. Tho question whether tfee
wheat yield is 20,000,000 or 80,000,000 bushAls
below the maximum is not Important. The
cotton crop will much exceed any previous
one, if the latest official figures are correct.
Tho corn crop will exceed anv preceding by
100,000,000 to 200,000,000 bushels. Tho oat
crop is also the largest ever known, and the
shortage in potatoes and fruit is immensely
overshadowed by the gain in cereals.
The [export of provisions and cattle In
October showed against last year a gain ot
68K per cent. . Bank clearings show an In-
creaso. At New York it was 3Q percent
for the last week, at Boston, Philadelphia
and Chicago, IT per cent, and at all other
cities 18 per cent. Tho capacity of iron
furnaces iu blast November 1 was much
the greatest ever recorded, no less than
105,785 tons weekly, against 151,059 on Octo-
tober 1, a gain of nearly 10 per cent for the
month, and against 141,004 on November 1,
1888, n gain of 17.5 per cent for the year.
Kailroad earnings are most encouraging,
showing gains of 104 per cent for October.
There is more than usual uniformity in ac-
counts from all parts of, the count.-y, for
though Milwaukee finds business not very
satisfactory, owing to the open weather and
the demand for money decreasing, and
some lines of trade aro slow at Cleveland,
as at Philadelphia. Reports from other
points are all favorable to tho volume of
business, and In the main as to collections.
The money market is easy at Chicago and
Philadelphia, but firm at 6 to 7 per cent at
Boston for ordinary commercial paper, and
unchanged here at 0 per cent on call. For-
eign exchange is a shade higher, and the
Bank of England lost $1,885,000 last week
and the Bank of France $280,000 gold, but
large exports lessen the demauds on this
market.
The Increase In merchandise yalues sent
out from this port have been 24.7 per cent
for two weeks of November, though imports
are also largo. The treasury "has again
avoided accumulations of money, having
paid out during the week ?250,000 more
than it has taken in. If national hopeful-
ness does not engender excessive production
in some branches and a mischievous re-
vival of speculation the prospoct for healthy
business is oxcellent.
Businoss failures number 265, as com-
pared with 207 last week and 201 the week
previous. For the corresponding week of
last year the figures wpre 237.

The Story of an Old Time Killing Comes to
tho Front Once More.
Hnxsucmo, Tex., Nov. 15.—Kynch West,
charged with the killing of A. D. Martin,
was given bail in the sum of $3000 on a ha-
beas corpus hearing. The killing was
shown to have resulted from a controversy
ovor a horse. It appeared that Martin, in
company with J. C. Conner, John Bennett
and George Johnson, left Fort Graham
Sunday, July 4, all armed, and went to tho
home of West, about three miles northwest
of hero, for the animal. Martin carried a
loaded six-shooting rifle in front of him,
while his companions had pistols buckled
about their waists.
Upon arriving at the home of West about
2 p. m. they rode up within six or eight
feet of his north door. West stepped from
the room to the door and' took his pistol
from a small shelf near by. At this point
the two eye witnesses to the shooting pres-
ent and testifying differ as to who fired tho
first shot. Conner says that after passing
some words with West Martin coclccd his
gun and was iu the act of shooting when
West raised his pistol and fired at Martin,
tho ball entering just above the left eye and
causing instant death. Bennett, the other
witness present, says that West was the
first to raise his pistol and that Martin
made no demonstration with his gun until
West was in the act of shooting.
Other witnessess testified to tho fact they
came upon the scone of tho killing shortly
after it occurred, and that upon their ar-
rival Martin's guu was lying beside his
dead body cocked.
It will be remembered that West is the
person arrested not long since in the Indian
Territory by Sheriff Cox for this killing of
nineteen years ago. Strange to say no
grand jury ever indicted West for the kill
iug until the present term of court. This
trial has brought to the front many old
timers who figured prominently during tho
turbulent scenes enacted In this county
during the years following close upou the
close of the war.
THf. CRONIN CASE.
New York, Nov. 15.—Messrs. Charles It.
Flint & Co. received the following cable-
gram lato to-day, datedJRio Janeiro:
A revolution has broken out here. The
Brazilian armies are in control. Ministry
has resigned. The'revolution is for tho
purpose of forming a republic.
fcrthen particulars,
London-, Nov. 15.—A private,cipher cable
dispatch from Rio Janeiro states that a rev-
olution has broken out there. The dispatch
gives no particulars.
Other dispatches from Rio de Janeiro con-
cerning tho revolutionary outbreak assert
that the movement in favor of a republican
form of government has recently been
strongly fomented and is the sole cause of
the rising. Up to the present hour, how-
ever, there is little information of a tangible
character. Tho announcement is made in
tho cables already at hand that the Brazilian
ministers have tendered their resignations
and that the situation Is controlled by the
army.
received no information.
Washington, Nov. 15.—The Brazilian
minister said this evening that he had re-
ceived no Information from his government
willi regard to tho reported revolution in
Brazil, but that he had received from a
third party intelligence of the same pur-
port as that contained in the cable message
to Chas. R. Flint & Co. of New York.
The minister said that since he had left Bra-
zil, in July last, he bad heard considerable
about the great strength of the republican
party in Brzil, but that in his opinion its
strength was greatly overrated in this
couutry. At the last election, which was
perfectly free and open, only a few republi-
cans were returned. While it was possible
that great changes had taken place in affairs
in Brazil in the last three or four months,
he did not think It at all probable that the
situation had taken the turn indicated by
cablegram. There might, he thought, havo
been bomo ministerial trouble which had
given vise to the reports of the revolution.

Chicago, 111., Nov. 15.—There was an at-

reminiscences of the famous trial in the
neighborhood of Mr. Forrest's office this
morning, and there was perhaps more ex-
cuse for objection with which the leading
counsel for tho defense met the reporter's
request for an interview than ia nine cases

A PANIC PBOBABLK.
New York, Nov. 15.—[Special]—Messrs.
Hard & lland received the following from
Hio Janeiro:
A revolution has broken out here. Bra-
zilian armies nro in control. The ministry
has resigned. A ministov has been shot. An
attempt will be made to establish a repub-
lic.
Similar dispatches were also received by
Arbucklo Bros, and Joseph J. O'Donohuo
& Sons. These dispatohea were received
about 4 o'clock, just after the coffee ex-
change had closed for the day. Tho reports
came like a clap of thunder to the coffee
dealors throughout tho city, who were mado
acquainted with thera to-night, and aro
likely to cnuse serious trouble on tho ex-
change if confirmed. While dealors gener-
ally spoke in a hopeful strain, they exhibit-
ed signs of uneasiness.
"This is the first intimation we have had
of any trouble of any kind in Brazil for a
year," said Mr. O'Donahuo to-night. "Wo
received information about a year ago in
our correspondence from Brazil of a ru-
mored uprising of slaves in various parts of
that country, but nothing more was ever
heard of It, and since then tho news from
Hio de Janeiro has bocn of a most cheerful
character. Money on the Brazillun ex-
ciiacgo has been at par for more than a year
past, something that had hardly been
known in tho history of the country for
years past."
The coffee exchango closed this afternoon
with coffee strong at 15.46c bid only a few
moments before tho dispatches were re-
ceived. The new coffee crop in Brazil is
almost ready to be harvested, and the sup-
ply on the market hero is con-
sequently limited. If a revolution hos
broken out, and the ports of Bio de Janeiro
slid Santos are blockaded. 75 percent of the
coffee supply of this country will be cut off.
This will bo productive of very serious con-
sequences throughout the country. When
confirmation of the report is received at the
exchange to-morrow from London there Is
likely to be an unheard of scece on tho
floor.
Mr. William II. Crossman of Crossman
Bros, hail not received u dispatch, but had
information through correspondence from
Brazil at a very recent date which gave no
hint of even un anticipation of trouble in
that country. "If the report is true," saiil
that gentleman, "coffee is likelF to advance
to hitherto unheard of figures,
and when quiet is again re-
stored in Brazil onc.rmons shipments
are likely to cause a panic. The blockading
of, Brazilian ports attending a revolution
iu the country will result in cutting off
more than three-fourths of the India rub-
ber snpply of this country and compel the
shutting down of nearly all the immense
rubber goods manufacturing concerns in
the United States, as the supply on hand at
present is not sufficient to last two weeks."
Sudden Death of Duval Deal or Anstin—En-
morod Purchase of a Railroad,
Houston, Tex., Nov. 15.—This evening at
0 o'clock the body of Duval Boal was
shipped from here to Austin under telo-
graphic instructions from Banker Hay-
mond of that city. Last night near mid-
night a city friend of the deceased per-
suaded him to take a carriago and go to
St. Joseph's infirmary and stay several
days, as he was complaining, or until he
felt better. He yielded, and in probably an
hour after retiring one of the nurses vis-
ited his room and found him dead. Inquiry
brought out the fact to day that he had
been a citizen of Austin, where he bud lived
many years, and was at one time in the ad-
jutant-general's office. He had been here
several days, having recently returned from
New York.
It Is regarded as a fact in upner railroad
circles here that arrangements for some
time past pending have been completed
by which the Texas Western narrow guage
railway will become tbo property of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas road and bo at
once changed to a standard guage. An it
will require a very short time to make this
chonge and complete the connection be-
tween its western terminus and the east
end of the Taylor, Bastrop and Houston
road it mar be counted as a matter of only
a few months before Houston will be fed by
another valuable railway line. It is un-
derstood that the terms of the change have
already been agreed upon by both parties
and that the actual transfer by document
will be iflade in the next two days. The
road oxtends about fifty-four miles west
from here and Is operated between hero and
Sealy on the Santa Fe main line west of tho
Brazos river.
GEORGIA FARMERS' ALLIANCE.
An Enthusiastic Meeting at Atlanta—Pro-
posed Alliance with tho Knights.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 15.—The committee
on land resumed its report immediately
after the convention was called to order
and oontlnued until the hour arrived when
Colonel L. E. Livingston, president of the
Farmers' alliance, was to be received.
A committee was appointed to escort tho
representative of the farmers to the hall,
and when they returned they had with them
besides Colonel Livingston Judge Hender-
son, commissioner ot agriculture; It. F.
Gray, editor of the National Economist, and
Mr. Harry Brown, editor of tho Georgia
Farmer. Colonel Livingston was received
with Immense applause. He said that other
work had prevented his studying the ob-
jects of the Knights of Labor, but he felt
sure that when the convention met at St.
Louis on December 3 the confederation
would be formed, and he also
felt sure that It would be
equally beneficial to both orders.
In Mr. Powderly's reply he thanked God
for the day, and saiil the day when tbo
farmer and mechanic should stand side by
side and work for the same object had al-
ways been a dream of his. The entire meet-
ing was moat enthusiastic, and every men-
tion of the confederation of the two orders
was met with thundering applause.
A ROBBING SCHEME
1'rustratod by Union PaciOo Detectives Iu
Colorado.
Denver, Col., Nov. 15.—A robbery has
just been frustrated by the police. Tho
works of the Colorado Smelting and Refin-
ing coinpaiy are located about five miles
east of the city. It hus been the custom of
the First National bank to send by express
to Argo about $5000 each Monday morning
via the Union Express company.
Bill Moore, in charge of the switches at
Argo, knew this fact. He informed C. II.
Moore and othor confederates and they ar-
ranged to rob the agent. Not only did they
expect to capture the pay roll, but gold
bricks to the value of at least £50,000. Union
Pacific detectives frustrated the job.
As it is now, Bill Moore, C. N. Moore,
We Coleman and Dan Crowley a.-e be-
lieved to be behind tho liars. Moore claims to
hnve beon connccted with tho James Boys,
also the bank robbery at Maryville, Mo.,
and Stansbury, Mo., a fen vears ago and
u'so had a scheme to rob several banks in

Jewish Stores In Mississippi Towns Fired
Into.
New Orleans, La., Nov. 15.—The Pica-
yune's Lake Providence speclai says:
Mr. Louis Hornthall of Vicksburg cams
up the road to-day from Tompkins' Bend,
and reached Providence about noon to-day.
He reports that about 1 a. m. to-day tbo
Alsatia store was shot Into about fifty or
more times and placarded: "No Jews after
the 1st of January." "Delhi, a warning ot
fire and lead will make you leave."
The Bernard & Block store at Goodrich's
landing was also shot into. There being a
telegraph office in each of these stores your
corespondent applied to the wires. Colo
W. Constant of Atherton,superintendent of
the lines, answered that he knew nothing
more than what Mr. Hornthal had told him
as he passed up in the morning. Atherton
is within live miles of Alsatia, where tha
midnight marauding took place. Mr. Gua
Bernard, of the firm of Bernard & Block at
Goodrich's, responded aftor repeated calls
and said that about twenty shots were fired
into his dwelling near midnight, one ol
them passing nearly over the bed where his
family lay.
There wore fifty-five empty rifle shells
found on the levee this morning in front of
their store. The operator at the Alsatin
store was repeatedly callod, but did not an-
swer. "We havo not heard of any personal
injury or the destruction of any property,
furthor than the effect of the Winchester
rifio balls on the buildings and the things
iusido that they came in contact with. Our
people denounce the midnight outrage in
unmeasured terms, and prompt steps will
be taken to ferret out the wrong doers."

INQUEST HELD
In tho Case of the Young German Who Sat*
vldod Under Strange Circumstances.
Jersey Citv, N. J., Nov. 15.—An inquest
was held last night in tho case of Jacob
Glencklich, tho young German who commit-
ted suicide in Hoboken two weeks ago.
Glencklich had just arrived In this country,
and had In Iub possession $0000. He left bo-
hind him a letter in which he told of tha
contemplated suicide, and told that the
poison with which ho intended to end his
life wasaiven him by his aunt, Mrs. Gutten-
berg of Brooklyn. On his arrival iu this
country Glencklich, on Mrs. Gulteuberg's
suggestion, turned all his money over to
her husband for safe keeping. When ho
afterwards wanted the money Guttenbcrg
had disappeared. The loss of the money
made Glencklich very despondent, and
Mrs. Guttenbcrg noticing his condi-
tion, advised him, Glenckilchs letter says,
to commit suicide, which he agreed to
do. The letter was offered in evidence, and
the jury rendered a verdict to the effect that
Glciicklich died of poison furnished him by
Mrs. Gutteuberg, and declared that tha
woman ought to be arrested.
RICH GOLD MINE
N. C—
Discovered in Montgomery County,
Great Excitement Prevails.
raleiqh. N. C., Nov. 15.—The Carolino
Watchman, published at Salisbury, has sent
aml>ulag expert to Montgomery couuty to
Inve&tigate the rumors of an important
gold find there, and he reports that all the
statements about fabulous wealth having
been discovered there are true. The find Is
the biggest ever discovered in tho state.
Three parallel veins were found about half
an incn in tbickncss and only a few feet
apart. The ore pans out a large per cent of
pure gold. The Watchman's representative
ascertained that a bushel of solid gold had
already been taken out of the doposit. Tha
place is owned by the three Sanders broth-
