The Catholic Review estimates that there are in nineteen large cities of this, country 67,940 colored Roman Catholics. Of those more than half (35,000) it reckons in Baltimore, while it Amis 9,000 in Natchitoches, La., and 8,000 in New Orleans. According to tho Paris correspond ent of the London News, there is no inch thing as club life in France ex cept as a pretext for gambling. After year or two, members sccra to get tired of paying their subscriptions, for which they seldom find sufficient return, and drop oft Buckland-on-thc-Moor, a secluded Tillage of Devonshire, England, has no public-house, parson, policemen or paupers. The squire owns nil the land. The farms are small, but pro fitable. The farm laborers live in the squire's cottage.

Borne of the moftt enthusiastic workers for village improvement are found in the women's clubs of the South, notes tho New York Tost. The money they use to carry on their work is secured by subscription, fees, dues, and entertainments. The money is expended in improving streets, keeping them clean, laying ont drive ways and walks, aud setting out trees. In one or two instances the town cem eteries are partly kept in order by the clubs. In one cane a club bought and improved a town park. According to the New York Times bald-headed men, as such, were not numerous, comparatively speaking, in tho public places ten years ago. The man who had lost his hair shrank from exposing the fact, although, it seemed not to trouble him the least bit that the very substitute be used was a badge of his affliction. Now, however, tho bald-headed man is on the increase, not in actuality, perhaps, bnt in'the reoklossuess with which he exposes his uncovered poll to the ele ments and the gaze of his fellowmcn. The recent discovery that a French nobleman has been working as a "docker" in. London recalls similar instances to a journalist of that city. The marquis de Beanmsnoir is a la borer at a flour mill near Nantes; the eomte de St. Pol is a gas bill collector; the vicount de St Megrin drives a cab in Paris; the Baron d'Aubinals aud the vioomte de Monolicrs are employed aa searchers in French custom houses; tha marquis de Poligny is au omnibus conductor, and the servant who waits on M.

WfiRNSPlNRR DEL RIO. FLY TO THE TOWNS. Captain-General Weyler Iisnes a Stirring Proclamation. Captaln-Oenerol Weyler has issued a proc lamation containing tho following provisional First All of the Inhabitant In tho coun try or outside tho linns of fortifications of tho towns must betake themselves to tho towns occupied by troops within a period of eight days. Those who ar foil nit outsldo tho towns after tho expiration or that period will be considered rebels aud will be tried as such. Keoond Tho withdrawal of grnrorlos from the towns Is absolutely prohibited and also tho transportation of them by sea or land without a permit trom tho military authori ties; violators of this provision will be tried and punished as alders of the rebels. Third Proprietors of cattle must carry them to towns or provide Immediately that they shall receive duo protection. Fourth K'ght days after tho publication of this proclamation all rebels surrendering In every municipality will be subject to the captain-general s disposal to order them where to reside, nnd It will be a recommenda tion In their favor for them to give available m-ws about tho enemy nnd to surrender with their llrciirm, nnd moreover to surrender collectively In their organizations. Fifth The proclamation Is only enforce able In tho province of l'lnar del Itio. The Insurgents during tho past two weeks have been continuing the work of devasta tion, particularly In tho province of Mutan r.as, where they havo reilused to ashes tho tobacco and sugar plantations of t'clbon, l ongreson, Segundn, Fllln, Aynla, l'linehe, l'ctrona and Han Juan, together with many farm houses, the whole valued nt about 000,000. Iu addition the Insurgents have de stroyed numberless palm leaf and other huts, thus rendering hundreds of families homo less. The prolonged rainy setuon Is retard ing the active campaign and Is undoubtedly favorable to the Insurgents' movements. Tho movement of the Insurgent forces from the eastern part of Santiago de Cuba and from the province qf Puerto Principe to tho central part of tho Island, commenced over three weeks ngo, nnd was signaled by the defeat of the Insurgent leader Juan Unas, from Munztnnllo, in tho province of Havana. .Ma), ltodriguir. commanded the Hpaulah troops ami Itus was obliged to retreat, thus upsetting his plans to acslst Mitceo. VENEZUELA SECURES A LOAN. Buooeeds in Extraotlng $10,000,000 From a Company Headed by Herr Krnpp. Advices have been received In Washington by Minister Andrade, of Venezuela, to the effect that the commission sent by Venezuela to Germany has returned, after completing most satisfactory arrangements which bring nbout a close Identity of interests between the two countries. The main tintnres of the arrangement are a lonn of S0,000,000 bolivars or 10,000,000 of German capital to the Venezuelan govern ment, nnd tho establishment of a German bank with a large capital at Caracas. The large lonn comes from private Herman sources, but It Is felt to be no less Important In showing the sentiment of the German government toward Venezuela. The oommlsslon was beaded by the Min ister of l'ubllu Works In President Crespo's Cabinet. On reaching llerliu, the members were received with marked honors by Kmperor William, who conferred decorations upon them. Later the negotiations for the loan and bank were carried through. The president of the company making the loan Ib Herr Krupp, of the famous gun works nt Essen. It was the same company under his direction that built the railroad from Caracas to Valencia. 1711 miles long de veloping the Interior of Venezuela. The loan is the result of the German In vestments, which have been made In Vene zuela In recent years. Under the law enact ed some years ego, the Government guaran teed 7 per eent return on railroad Invest ments, the purpose being to develop the country. This guaranty led to a debt of 25, 000,000 bolivars, most of It being due to the Merman company headed by the Krupps. In order to pay on the debt It was determined to send a commission to Germany to negoti ate a loan. It is this commission which has just returned with successful reports. II WAS INCENDIARY. Two Hen Burned to Death ia Akron's Big Fire. The burning of the Whitman-Robinson oompany's stoneware plant at Akron, O. was of incendiary origin, and in addition to the destruction of 1200,000 worth of proper ty, two lives were lost. When the fire had nearly bnrned out, the body of an unknown man was discovered In one of tho rod hot ovens. Evidently bo had crawled In to sleep and was burned to death. Ills bodv was lit erally baked. The remains of Francis Harri son, who slept at the works, have not yet been found, owing to tho ruins being too hot to search for him. He was in an Intoxicated condition that night and it Is certain that he perished in the flames. Old clothes, satur ated In eoal oil. were found In the vicinity and the faot that the fire was started In two pieces, leaves no room to doubt that it was started by an Incendiary. An attempt' to burn another factory was also matte, but It was unsuccessful. A pile of rubbish and straw was found in the office of tho Hill Hewer Pipe oompany next morning, with ev ery appearanoe of having been placed there to fire the building. A careful Investigation of the fires la being made. KILLED TWO MEN. Deiperata Battle With a Party of Infuriated Negroes. Besieged by infuriated negr. ei, J, M. Crlglar, manager of Hogerman'a lumber mills at Hager Station, four miles west .of Chlpley, Flu., defended himself with such effect that he killed two of his assailant and wounded four others. Crlglar became en gaged in a quarrel with one of bis employes and the other negroes drew pistols and began firing at the manager. Crlglar ran to his ofllue, locked himself iu and opened lire with a Winchester on the maddened negroes who surrounded tho building. For an hour tho battle continued, and when the Louisville and Nash vl lie train ar rived at tha station the negroes were pre paring to set tire to the building and cre mate Crlglar. The train erew and passen (jars, however, rushed to Cnglar's aid and disponed the negroes. The negroes had Bred over 300 bullets Into the building, but Crlglar escaped by lying on the floor. Aa soon as the negroes would Ore a volley, how ever, he would rise aud ahoot at them through the window. The negroes killed are Amos Judson and John Alexander. The wounded are Henry Uimpeon. Jack Nobles, Andred Miller aud Albert Leister. Simpson and Lester are thought to be fatally wounded. Senator Morrill le-eleoted. Justin 8. Morrill was re-elected United States senator from Vermont on Tuesday. In the HeusUi no other name was presented, aud Senator Morrill received the entire 80 votes. In the house Hr. Morrill received 818 votes, and Herbert F. Drlgbam, Demo cratic candidate, received 17. In the jolut assembly Wednesday afternoon Senator Mor rill's election was formally made. The honor rid to Senator Morrill by bis native State an Incident of more than usual interest. Whan on tha 4lb of March next, he ia for mally Inducted Into the office which be has UJjMlfurlWmr.. THE OUTLOOK GOOD. Dun Takes a Most Cheerful View of tha Wheat Boom. The event of the week has been the sen sational advance of wheat to 83o for cash on Tuesdny, a rise of B'c, and Its fnll to 77c on Thursday, paining 1 c on Friday. Tho rise was magnified by covering of speculative sellers, who Imagined the advance had gone too tar, but was at tho bottom based on an extraordinary foreign demand .which has en gaged grain vessels from all I'acillo as well ns Atlantic ports for months ahead. How great the shortage In ordinnry European supplies may be Is the point of doubt nnd speculation, but none now question that ship ments from the l'nclflc coast to India and the decrease In Hussla's yield are Important, and the buying of enormous quantities for export, with engagements of freight room at higher rates, express the belief of European dealers. Wheat exports from the raclflo coast are large, and over 800,0(10 bushels per day hive tieen engaged nhead for some time. The Atlantic exports, about 000,000 bushels larger than last vear for the week, have been In Octnls-r (i,A70,2l.1 bushels, Hour Included, against o.OMfl.HKI bushels Inst year. It Is worthy of note that western roads are com plaining of a car famine, tho demand for movement to mnrkets being so great, though the actunl receipts for three weeks nt west ern ports have been ttl,l!)ll,7IH bushels, against 28 001,044 bushels Inst year, follow ing a much increased movement In the quar ter ending with September. Corn moves largely, and at lower prices, having declined a cent for the week. Cotton has advanced a sixteenth to Ho. with only moderate trans actions, and heavy receipts from plantations. Kstlmntes of yield' vary nil the way from Mr. Nelll's 0,000,000 bales to much less than 8,000.000 but the Impression grows thut the yield will be large. Tbe most striking feature of Industrial re turns Is the number of contracts conditioned upon tho election. These nre enough to make business rather lively for a time, nnd many others are pending which will proba bly be held back until November 1. The buying of materials not only advances prices, but Induces larger purchases of tho tlnlshed products without conditions. Leather has risen 1 per cent with a general demand, though mostly In hemlock sole and union, and hides at Chicago have been ad vanced still further by packers, though country hides po not rise nt all, ami some are lower, but the average of all Is 6 per cent higher. lluying of bessemer pig at Pittsburg causes a slight advance and all markets are strong for pig, but not for tlnlshed products. Very low prices are made for speedy delivery, by mills wanting work. Hut the tone of the market Is better, and n decided Increase of orders appears In plates, about 8,000 tons for building vessels on the lakes, and in structural work at the West, owing to contracts taken nt Chicago for buildings nt Iloston, Toronto, Detroit and Minneapolis. There Is also a great demand expected for enrs, and tho association oilers to sell Iron until November 8, to Jobbers nnd large buyers at 1.03, while steel bars are selling largely at la. A reduction In nails Is expected. Jlut the nail season Is over, and the billet pool has little business. A snlo of about 0,0110.000 pounds was mudo of lake copper at 1 10.50 to domestic consumers.

Awful Accident at Sea Off the Coast of Oregon. Tho steamer Arngo, owned by tho Oregon Coal and Navigation Company, from Coos bay to San Erancisco, was carried by the current and driven on the rocks of the jetty at Coos head Tuesday. She will be a total loss. In attempting to land a boat load of passengers and crew, the boat was capsized.

The survivors were brought to Empire City on the tug Columbia, None of the bodies of the lost were recovered. The Arago was built by the Union Iron works in 15. Her gross tonnage is placed at 947 tons. Tbe crnit has long lieen in tbe coasting trade, aud Is one of the best known boats Iu this port. Of Into years she has been engaged as a oolller, carrying coal from Coos bay ports to this city. She was com manded by Cnpt. Heed. Her full comple ment of men aud ollleers was 2(1. At this season of the year the Ctos bay bar, as it is known, is usually not very rough, though nt times, It the wind Is in the right quarter, the seas roll high. During Octolier and - Nov ember It Is very dilllcult to tell Just how the bar may act.and navl. ators always approach the entrance to the bay with more or less trepidation, liefore the Jetties was construct ed Coos bay bar had gained the reputation of lielug one of tho worst bars on the coast, not excluding the once treachurous entrance to Humboldt bay. Tbe Improvements of the harbor, however, have reduced the dangers that once exacted. MINERS OPPOSE REDUCTION. Largs Majority Against Aooepting the 45 Cent Kate.

Word From the Philippine Iilande en the Uprising Many Lives Sacrlfloed. Advices by the steamer Peru, now nt Ran Francisco, from Singapore end Hong Kong up to September 27, aretbnt the rebellion on the Philippine Islnnds Is much more serious than has been generally recognized. It Is snld that reports of revolutionists defeat sent out by the Spanish ollleers have been greatly exaggerated, and that so fur the rebels have more than held their own In the struggle for Independence. It Is stated the revolution Is now beyond the control of the Spanish authorities, and that unless rein forcements nre sent to Manilla Immediately the Spanish forces are In danger of final de feat. The rebels now hold the province of Cavlte, are well organized and have 8,000 Mauser rllles. There are many natives In the Spanish troops, nnd the officers are afraid to take native regiments Into the In terior because their loyalty Is doubted. Tbe Hong Kong Press says edltorlly that there Is no longer room for the least doubt that affairs In tbo Philippine Islnnds will In n short time assume tbe proportions of the Cubnn rebellion. The natives are deter mined. As each rebel signs an agree ment he writes his name on his arm wltb blood, and swears vengeance against the Spaniards. The story of the original plans for striking tho blow Is a most serious one. Fin- a long time tho natives have been conspiring to overthrow the government, and It was finally decided to make a strong attack on the 10 of July, (lov-tlen. Blanco was to have been murder ed by one of the natives on the day, nnd It wns arranged to swoop suddenly down upon the body of ollleers who attended tho fun eral, kill ns many ns possible, then ransack the town of Manilla, then tnke entire posses sion of the place. It Is due to a woman that the plot was discovered. In confession she disclosed the plot to a priest, who divulged the secret. The arrest and Imprisonment of many natives plainly indicated that the priests were cognizant of the arrangements, and then, towards the end of August, the fighting commenced In real earnest. From that il ue up to tbe middle of this month, the tlnte of the latest news, there were repented bloody conlllcts between the government forces and the natives The Manilla corres pondent, under date of September 2, denies that the Spanish troops defeated the rebels on August 81. 'J ho writer says: "Klght rebels killed nt St. Mesa; counted six or eight at San Juan, besides those on the Spanish able. The bodies ; rebels; are being left out nnburled to rot. "Over 100 of them, some say 150, were shut up In a small room under the bastlno of San Sebastian, Intra Mures, on Monday night, No water; one small window. Fifty four found dead In the morning; with those prisoners since died, said to be a total of 70." WORSE THAN SPANIARDS. Philippine Islanders Flsy and Crucify an Offioer. Cuban atrocities are mild compared to those taking place In the Philippine islnnds where tho Spanish nre trying to suppress a revolt of the natives. According to oriental papers the Spanish are going to the full limit of brutality and the natives aro doing their best to keep pace with them. They more than succeed. The must (hocking Incident of the bloody reprisals was the treatment of a Spnnl h lieutenant and his family. The Spanish bad captured a number of prisoners, and as an obect lesson to the natives, disembowled two and banged their bloody bodies on one of the gates of tbe town. Tbe Infuriated rebels, enger for venge ance, gathered a force and hurried to the homo of a Spnnlsh lieutenant on the outskirts of Munlta. They captured the of ficer, his wife and a 12-year-old daughter, and then begnn a bloody scene of torture. The most savage Instincts of tne natives were aroused. Before the eyes of the wife sud daughter the lieutenant s skin was silt all over his body. Then the torturers cru cified him, pinning him outstretched to a tree with their knives. Tin y then turned to the women and girl, wreaking a disgusting vengeance before the dying eyes of the hus band and father. The Spanish are doing their best to keep the news of these atrocities from leaving the Islands, opening and inspecting all the mull. They particularly desire to keep unknown the death of IM prisoners In one night In the "Mack Hole." BEPORIS ARE UNTRUE. No Exalting Controyeny at Havana Be tween Weyler and Lee. It Is stated by officials In Washington, that the reports oonilug from New Orleans as to an exultiug controversy at Havana, between General Fitzhugh Lee, Uuited States consul general, and General Weyler over tbe at tempted apprehension of a Mexican named F'ernaudez on board the American ship Vlgiluucu give a significance and Importance to the event not warranted by the facts. General Lee did not report the matter to the government, and It will bo referred to only In his routine report. No protests or claims wore made by either side, and Gener al Weyler never contemplated llrlng on tho Vlgiluucu. When General Lee explained tbe immunity of American ships from searoh under the treaty with Spain, Fernuudes was let go. HORBORS OF THE CUBAN WAR. The Spaniards Butcher Prisoners, Inolui ins; Women. Recent incidents show theoontrast between the Spaniards and insurgents in the treat ment aooorded to captives. In the fight which Oen. Melquizo had with Macao's forces a short time ago, Melquizo captured 40 insurgents, whom bo ordered shot on the spot, nnd in tho recent engagement between Maceo's troops and the Spaniards under Denial, the latter caused SO prisoners to be shut, including a young girl and two older women. Denial says that he saw one of these women hidden in the bush nearby and he puid no attention to her at first, believing she was a refugee.but after the light was over, a stray shot picked off one of bis soldiers. When they all rushed on her, ahe kllllug 17 before she was captured and killed. Wltb the 40 killed by Melquizo there wore four women and a chid. The Spaniards tried to force the women to tell them the whereabouts of Maoeo and bis plans, but the only words they got nut of them were that the Spaniards were oowardly dogs, and this so euruged Melquizo that be ordered them shot immediately, they all dying with tbe cries of "Vive Cuba libra." On the other hand, Perlco Delgado, com manding one of Maceo's brigades, In a fight captured a lieutenant oolonel named Peptch et, of Cuban birth, with 18 soldiers of the line and seven volunteers. Tha lieutenant oolonel, on account of his extraction, aud the seven volunteers, were killed, but the 10 regular Spanish soldiers were returned to MaJ. Dolzo, of Melquizo ! staff, after being disarmed. Havana, Oot. 19. Major Fondevilla re ports wltb his 260 infantry and cavalry be defeated the Insurgents at Dlanqulzzal. in this province. Although be announces that they bad 60 killed, while his own loss waa only 21 wounded, ha admits that ho was compelled to retire from the field because of a scarcity of amuultlon. . It ia reported that in the recent engage ments between tha Spanish troops and Ma ceo's forces in the l'lnar del Itio province the lusurjeut leaders Llete, Vldul, Tarafa and Julio lloderlguea were killed aud D li ana mesa wounded. THE ALASKAN O0LD FIELDS. Oot. Sheakly Makes a most Interesting Aa nual Report. Jnmes Rhcnkly, governor ot Alnska, In hit annual report to the secretary of the Interior, says; Thero Is great encouragement In the outlook for the Alaskan gold mines. During the ymr ending the first of this month t2, 800,000 In gold bullion hns been taken from tho mines, tbe greater part being the pro duct of low grade ores, much of which yield ed less than 14 per ton. Almost any grade of gold ores now can be worked at n prollt there. Confidence In Alnska as a gold pro ducing country increases with the develop ment of her treasures. A number of gold bearing quartz ledges and placer deposits have been discovered In the Sitka district and several are under rapid development with good prospects. Tbe gold placers ol the Yukon region continue to at tract attention of gold miners and fortune seekers, but no rich discoveries have been reported from there. Several wild reports, the governor snys. have started rushes of several thousand seekers to the Cooks Inlet gold fields during the summer, but only to meet disappoint ment and hardship and the people are get ting back out of the district, Tbe governor believes, however, that there are paying gold deposits there. The report makes a plea for the repeal of the present liquor prohibition Inw, which has been demoralizing In Its effects, and violated In every community and urges the enactment of high license Inw with suitable safeguards. On tho subject of tbe fur seal agreement the governor snys; Tho concurrent regulations agreed upon by a majority of the trlouual of arbitration for the protection ot fur seal bearing seal have entirely failed to afford -the Intended protection er to prevent the destruction of of these animals. Pelagic sealing in any way will result In tho extermination of tbe extlre race within a few years. Tho governor deprecates tho cost of tho expensive nnd burdensome patrolling now necessary, as exceeding all the net prollts of pnlagla sealing, even If tho luttcr were hurtn- EX-8FEAKER CRISP BEAD. He Had Been 111 for Many Weeks Story of His Life. Charles Frederick Crisp, ex-Speaker of the House ot Representatives, died In a private Sanitarium at Atlanta, (la., Oct. 23. Rup ture of the heart was the Immedlnle cause of death. He was born Janunry 20, 1HI5, at Sheffield, England, while his parents were there on a visit. They returned to this country the same year. He entered the Confederate nrmy as a lieutenant In Company K, Tenth Virginia regiment, In Mny, 1H01, and was taken prisoner In Mny, 1HU4. Ho wris re leased from Ft. Delaware In June, 1805, nnd wns admitted to tbe bar nt Amerlcus In lHtiH. He begnn the practice of law In Klla vllle, and In 172 was appointed solicitor general of the Southwestern Judicial circuit, and was reappointed in 1H73 for a term of four years. He located In Amerlcus In 1X7.1, nnd In June, 1H77 was appointed Judge of the Superior court of the same circuit; In 1X78 he was elected by the General Assembly to )be same otllce; In 18S0 ho was re-elected udge for a term of four years. Ho resigned that office Iu 1882, to accept the Democratic nomination fur Congress. He was elected to the Forty-eighth, Forty-ninth, Fiftieth, Fifty-first aud Fifty-second Congresses, nnd re-elected to the Fifty-third Congress as a Democrat, and was elected speaker of the House for tho Fifty-second Congress, and re-elected speaker for the Fifty-third. DENIED BY CAN0VAS. The Premier Says Spain Has No Intention of Abandoning Cuba. A speolal cable from Madrid says; In an Interview with Premier Canovas, he charac terized as absolutely false and ridiculous, the statement to tire effect that tha Spanish government iuteudod to abandon Cuba In tbe event of the war not being concluded In March. He never entertained such an Idea for one moment. The government, hi snld, was guided entirely by tbe opinions and wishes of the Spanish people aud lai from desiring to terminate the war, the feel ing of the people for the suppression of In surrection grows stronger dally. So long ni this feeling continues, the Spanish govern ment will do Its Iu duty prosecuting the war to tbo bllter end. Regarding the report that President Cleveland Intended laklug action In favor of the Insurgents, Senur Cauova says the government has received assurance from Washington to quite the contrary ef fect. Naturally the Uuited States govern ment desires for ninny reasons to see nn early termination ot the war, but furthei than that, nothing can exceed the loyal con duct of President Cleveland and his cabinet toward Spain aud Iter government. Our re lations for the present moment are of the most cordial nature. , MASSACRED BY BUSHMEN. Austrian Explorers Attsoked by the Na tives of Ouadalcanar. An Austrian scientific expedition was at tacked by the natives on the island of Ouad alcanar, in tho Solomon group, and five ol Its members killed and five severely wound ed. Tbe party under the direction of Huron Foullon von Norbeck, had sailed from Syd ney Australia, In a war ship, and on landing on lluadalcuunr determined to ascend a mountain called the Lion's Head. On the wuy up, Midshipman Armand de Beaufort and seven sailors were left In a cump. Tbe baron and the remainder of the par y had asceudod some distance when bushmen rushed out from biding places aud the bar on was killed by a blow from a tomahawk. The sailors were well-armed and drove off the bushmen. When they returned to the camp they found that Da Beaufort, Jacob Do Kovlo, Gustavo Chalaupttk and Petty Orflaer Mnras had been killed by the natives and live suitors badly wounded. A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
