A< cording to tho story of one of the

who remarked that he had been look-

the injunction which had been
secured from tho supreme court

to serve it upon McKane. The latter
refused to take the papers and called
his officers to tako Bacon into custody

The injunction restrained McKane

Camden, N. J., Nov. 8—The election
in this city to-day resulted in riots in
several precincts. The Democratic
policemen and ward workers took
possession of many of the polls and
the Republicans appealed to Sheriff
West to place the military at the polls.
Manv deputy sheriffs have been shot

It appears that tho city is in the

plication of a number of citizens ap-

Ctdoncl Cooper ordered a guard placed
on the Sixth regiment armory, after

Several Pint urbauces nt the Polls — One
Voting Place Shut Down.
Pittsiu rg, Pa., Nov. 8,—The bitter
feeling growing out of the factional
fights here, resulted in a number of
rows at various polling places.
In the Second precinct of the
"bloody" Fifth ward, a dispute arose
over the refusal of Peter Megraw a
Republican member of the board to
receive a vote on the tax receipt of
181*1. Democratic Committee Chair-
man Brennan was called and he in-
sisted that the receipt was good until
next May. This enraged Megraw
who drew a knife on Brennan, but be-
fore he could use it was overpowered.
Judge Stowe decided that the man
had a right to vote on the receipt.
In the second district of the First
ward the Republicans claimed that
the Democrats ret" -ed to allow men
suspected of favoring their candidate
for sheriff to vote A dispute arose
and Councilman Mcllugh struck
Policeman Pat Farrell, an ex-pugilist,
on the nose, drawing blood. Farrell
then knocked Mcllugh down and a
general row seemed imminent when
Police Magistrate Donohue appeared
and ciosed the polls. A force of
officers was then detailed to guard the
polls and three hoars later they were
opened again.

vailed at the police stations.

Johnson has decided that indictments
found by the late grand jury against
Eugene & Klliott and F. W. Noycs,
directors of the Plankiuton bank,
were Invalid because the grand jury
returned them ut the October term of

Congress Failed to l'rovide Money to
Curry Ont the I.;i\v.
Washington, Nov. 8. — Although
congress amended the Geary act so as
to allow the Chinese six months more
within which to register, it adjourned
without making any appropriations to
carry out the provisions of tha act.
Tho chairman of the committee on
appropriations had cognizance of the
necessity of the treasury department's
need of some money to carry out the
law, and it is probable if tho ureeot
deficiency bill had been passed, a
clause appropriating enough money
to at least begin operations would
havo been inserted in the bill. As it
is registrations under the act will not
begin until an appropriation is made.

La Litikktad. Honduras. Nov. 8.—
By the alleged orders of President
Yasquez and the express command of
the officer of the port of Ainatala,
several shots were fired after the Pa-
cific mail steamer Costa Rica, flying
the stars and stripes, as she steamed
away because she refused to surrender
one of her passengers to the govern-
ment. Minister linker was on board
the Costa Rica at the time.
The passenger about whom the
trouble arose is P. lion ilia, who re-
cently* led the revolution in Honduras,
but was defeated by General Vasquez
lie fled to Nicaragua and with 300 of
his adherents joined the army of
President Sacassa, who was engaged
in an attempt to quell a revolution.
Honilla had decided to leave Nicaragua
in order to relieve the government
from all responsibility of harboring
him, an«l therefore sailed for Guata-
mala. Minister liaker and 100 passen-
gers were li s fellow passengers. $
The vessel arrivetl yesterday at
Amatala, a port of entry of Honduras
on the Pacific coast. In the afternoon
the commander of the port Villa, tie
manded that Captain Dow should sur-
render Honilla. When the request
was refused a threat was lna^e to sink
the ship antl it was asserted that Pres-
ident Vasquez had given orders to
that effect. Villa gave the order to
tire on the ship at nightfall, when it
was too daik to leave with safety.
A government ottijer appeared on
board early yesterday morning saying
that new orders had been received
from the president insisting upon the
delivery of lionilla or the bombard-
ment of the ship would follow. Cap-
tain Dow replied the commander of
the port would receive his answer in
half an hour, but before that time he
sailed away. Several shots were fired
after the Costa Rica, although carry-
ing tln American llag. One shot
struck her, doing no damage, but it is
feared the stea uer Callea, of the same
line which was in port, may have been
injured for the firing continued some
time after the vessel was out of range.
Washington, Nov. 7.—Secretary
Gresham this morning received a dis-
patch from United States Minister
Baker, who was on board the steamer
Costa Itica at Amapala, Honduras,
when it was fired upon by the authori-
ties of that place because she refused
to surrender one of the passengers to
the Honduras government. The Costa
Rica was llying the American flag at
the time and Minister Raker's dispatch
fully confirms the press report of the
affair.

Oflicialft Too ltn*y to LUten to the Pleas
of Congressional Friends.
Wasiiinoton, Nov. 8 —The few Jays
succeeding' the adjournment of con-
gress has been used by senators and
representatives who are trying to
have appointments made, about the
departments, calling on the heads of
bureaus and others who have the
handling of the offices, but they tind
that the department heads are just
now very busy preparing reports
which will be submitted to cougress.
One of the senators explained the
situation this morning by saying that
while the silver bill was pending the
president would make no appoint-
ments and now when it is time to act
the cabinet officers are not to be seen
because they are working on their re-
ports, which must be in by the time
congress meets in December and mean-
while the men who saved the party

MINERS SEEKING FOR GOLD.
Prospectors in the West Tarn In From
Silver With (>ood Success.
Washington, Nov. 8.—Advices re-
ceived here from the stales and terri-
tories which have heretofore been
known principally bccause of their
production of silver indicate that the
repeal of the Sherman silver purchas-
ing law may not prove to be an un-
mixed evil. Senators, members
and delagatcs representing all
these states and territories report that
in most of them miners and prospec-
tors are exerting themselves in
searches for gold mines. That in
many instances they have been suc-
cessful the mails of senators and
members bear ample testimony. In
Colorado, Montana, Idaho, I'tah,
Arizona and New Mexico several new
gold camps have been opened which
promise well and work has also been
resumed in many abandoned plucors
and in quartz mines which had been
deserted.
Reports from the mining states and
territories also indicate that many of
the more prod active and easily worked
silver mines are still being op rated.
In most of these there has been a re-
duction of wages and in some in-
stances the owners say they can con-
tinue to work if silver will maintain
an average price of seventy eeuts an
ounce.
