The excitement among the negroes of Tuscaloosa over the ra order of four of their race continues unabated. In this section the killing of a negro is regarded as a matter of little importance, so no very determined effort has been made to solve the mystery of those four bloody crimes.

A short time before the first murder was committed, two horses belonging to a negro woman named Sarah Moore, died very suddenly.

She declared 500 Kansas Avenue, The treasury department nas accepted the suggestion, and the collector of customs at l'aso, has been miormed that the importation of meat cittle from Mexico into the territory of Arizona is prohibited, except at the sub-ports of Kogales and Yuma, and at those points only when it is shown they are free from contagious disease.

Pittsbubo, October 26. Secretary Cake, of the Wiedow Glass Workers association to-day gave out a portion of the private letter he received from T. V. Powder-y, in which the latter declared himself a protectionist. Mr.

Cake says that the letter wa3 written in answer to one which National district assembly No. 800, had sent to the general master workman, asking him hia opinio to the legality of their coarse in placin speakers in the field to advocate the course of protection during the present campaign. The following are the extracts from the letter which Mr. Cake gave oui to-dcy: "Ho explanation is necessary as to the cosrse taken by assembly No. 300.

Let me say an assuring word as to my course in this campaign. I am not free to advocate either party, and dare not do so by word, act, art or intimation. You are at perfect liberty to denounce ne through the 'press of this campaign, except it be for some well known friend of labor. I believe in 'protection and have never bought a single article made across the ooean.

it is my invariable practice to nsk where the article "was manufactured before I purchase it. If I cannot get the home-made article, I will wait until I can. If protection is not what it is aimed at. why are steps being taken to lower the tariff by both parties? Why is the difference between the two bills now before the national legis'attire, but a little over or I may be wrong as to the figures us I have to depend upon reports, not having not seen the senate bill. I would not allow a single article to land that we can manufacture ourselves.

I would not allow any workmen to come over and take the place of workmen 1 nm a protectionist and in many respects differ from those who are preaching protection in this campaign. Were it not for the labor organizations, there would be no protection for the men who work.

W. DUN'S REPORT, A General Increase tn Dank Clearings The Money Market Tends Toward Strin gency. New York, October 2 R. G. Dun weekly review of trade seys: Outside of New York there is a-general increase in bank clearings over last year of about 52 per cent, but substantially the entire increase of 20 per cent at Boston may be traced to unusual speculations in stocks.

Probably the gains of 7 per cent at Philadelphia, and 41 per cent at San Francisco, are mainly of the name natnre, the speculation in wheat and other products swells exchanges at Chicago and St. Louis. At New York, on the other hand, a decrease of 10 per cent ap pears, which the difference in speculative activity uoea not iuuy explain. At all ports the imports for the mouth of September were smaller than last year, while exports were $3,400,000 smaller, ho that the excess of imports over exports of merchandise was only but prices of breadstuff do not yield as to promise a free movement, and the excess of imports over exports for tho past eight months has been more thvn The inquiry for good American securities has not ceased in Europe.

The purchase of the Georgia Central by the lii mmond Terminal looks towards a contrivance of consolidation, but the onwel-. come fact remains that expenses generally increase more than earnings. Remarkable aoti ity in the stock market, one way or the other, is generally expected soon after the election. The collapse of the tlead combination and the ailureof the ehief speculator has increased the distrust of other speculative movements, which disregard legitimate considerations.

Lima, October 20. Faurots Music hall was packed with an enthusiastic audience this afternoon who came to hear Judge Thurman. The speaker opened by eulogiz ing the party and President Cleveland, and referred by name to several old citizens of Allen county, who were old friends of the judge and were present in the meeting. In speaking of George W. Hull, chairman of the meeting, he said: I am glad to tee here to-day our friend, the president of the meeting, a man that I saw not long ago in Columbia-coming home from the St.

Louis convention, and, cpon my word, I thousht he was a Comanche In diau (great laughter), for he was the fun niest dressed man ever I saw, bat when I got good look at his face I lound that he was the same true, valiant, sensible George V. Hull Applause. 1 And now, speakincr about his drees, for he had more bandanas on him than I ever met, and looking at these beau tiful young ladies before me, I defy the men who is not a friend of mice, or dis po-ed to dislike me, to deny tbe assertion that I have done something at least for the dresses of the people of the United States. More laughter and applause I. Why seut last wees in the neighboring state of Indiana, and addressed meetings eo large that they ceased to talk about nam bers of men and women and only talked of how many acres of people there were.

Great laughter and applause, And in those mult nudes that saw saw more picturesque costumes, more singular and graceful Headdresses, and skirts, and shawls, and scarfs, than I ever expected ta see in all my life. I have been in Paris, the center of fashion and of modes; 1 have seen the most beautiful dresses at the grand opera and the French theater in that city of fashion, but 1 never saw more taste tin played nor finer costumes, homely though the material was, than I saw in the state of Indiana, where the democratic girls were dressed up in bandana skirts. More cheers end So I claim that if I have never done anything else for my county, the singular occurrence at which I have laughed myself repeatedly, that my old bandana should become a political emblem. but above all that it should set the fashions and make young ladies wear costumes that make all their beaux fall in love "with them instsnter Prolonged laughter. Judge Thurman then in a few words di9 missed tbe above subject with the remark that he would proceed to the more eerious business of the day and proceeded to a brief discussion of tbe tariff issue, explaining that for one reason the people were to be addressed in the evening by Speaker Carlisle He continued: Another reason that I have, fcr omitting to say" much on that theme, is that we have been talking no the subject of tariff now for about a month.

About a month, nay for about sixth months might say, or even goiDg back to debates in congress, for twelve months we have been talking and debating on the subject of the tariff, and I think I may safely assert to every man who i willing to offer bis ears to truth that in thin long discussion the democratic speakers have ha the victory on their side, aud that our opponents feel this to be so, from several circumstances. Among the circumstances referred to was the rejection of the fisheries treaty. Judge Thurman also criticised the republican attitude on the Chinese question. The Murchisen-West correspondence he charac terized a a bungling republican trick to ne used at Blaine's Irish-American meeting in York last night. Speaker Carlisle followed aad denounced the lettjr as a downright forgery.

Judge Thurman returned to Columbus to night. AN OPINION DELIVERED. The Examination of the New Transconti nental Tariff Made Public. Washington, D. October 26.

The interstate commerce commission, by com misssioner Walker, has made public the result of its examination of the new trans-coutintal tariff which were pet in effect Sep tember 1, 188S. The opinion states the dif Acuities which arose at Chicago, St. Louis and other interior points, from which rates arc established to the Pacific coast higher than rates from New York City, are exp ain- ed to have arisen from a series of com modity tanrrs, wnicn named articles on which; low rates were made from specified points, leaving all other articles and points, subject to the class rate under the western classification. In those special tariffs the commission rules as louows. Rates that are just and refoneiyle from -selected maouraciuring points, through the entire territory east of the Missouri liver and west of the Atlantic seaboard are prime aacie, last ana reasonable from ail other points, in the same territory.

A tariff naming a rate from one locality lower than the enjoining by its neighbor, when the circum stances tekders as preference of advantage te the first, and when any shipper ia dim-aged by the enaction of any additional bur den the preference becomes undue and un reasonable, ume-s it can be U6tiued npon some sound and substantial Com mon carriers are under obligations to take all descriptions of ordinary traffic from all po nts, and it is right that the rates should be known and announced publicly in ad' vance of the offerings of tramc. Under the.act to regulate commerce, ebip- 'i pers are not to be put in a position of subserviency to common carries, nor required to ask for rates but are entitled to equal and open rates at all times. Discriminations are made and undue advantages are given by special tariffs in question, in giving different rates to places named, and tnoe not named, to jobbers at places named, and trxe not named, to manufacturers and to jobbers and other dealers. The opinion further states that thee conclusions were made knows on October 16, to representatives of tffe transcontinental lines at an interview arranged for that purpose and were at once acceded to. 1 he modified arrangement suggested by the eommis-ion as to west bound business bav in gone into effect on October 23.

China Will Probably Sever All Relations aul Intercourse With Us, and Expel All American Residents from Her Shores. San Fbaxctsco, October 2G. The steamer Arabic arrived from Hong Kong and Yokohama this afternoon. The Hong Kong Gazette has a statement published in the Chinese Times to the effect that the action of the Chinese minister to the United States in the matter of the treaty which was recently rejected by ths Chinese govern ment, excited great animosity against him in Owantum, and endeavors were made by an angry mob to wreck the minister's house.

The Chinese Times also contains a letter signed by the Fekin Officials written just after the news had reached China that the. United States senate had passed the Chinese exclusion bill. Following is an ex. tract and is taken from the letter: "It is an obnoxious American bill, and, should it be carried into effect, there will no other course open for China, consi-tant with her dignity as a nation, than to adopt retal iatory measares by prohibiting the citizens of the United States from coming to China. This will be by no means proportionate to the harm done to the Chinese interest- America, but it will have to be done in order to show that the Chinese can do tho same thing, and if it will have no effect in bringing the United States congress and the United States government to reason aud fairness, then it will be a question for China to consider whether it is not for her to cancel her treaties made with that country, to recall her subjects from there, to expel all the United States citizens from this country, and to cease all relations and inter- coir se, diplomatic and commercial, with that country."
