JSnd* Detroit Fights. There will be no more pugilistic contests in Detroit. The killing of Kid" O'Brien in the fight last night has probably settled that. Prosecut­ ing Attorney Frazer said that he would prosecute every one of the pro­ moters of the fight for manslaughter. The police are to blame," he said. They have allowed these fights to go right along. Now we will show some df these people that they can't run a wide-open town as they are trying to do.

' Now Tor* Iftty-Good* Marloifji Market conditions in dry goods at New York show some encouragement, and though buyers and sellers have not come together as yet on the question of prices, it is evident that there are a good many who are still willing to buy if they can persuade agents to meet their ideas.

Robert Hall, a well-known cattle" man in southeastern New Mexico, was shot and killed at his ranch south of Carlsbad in a dispute over some trivial matter.

Hereafter the steamboat companies will meet transatlantic liners outside of Havana harbor and will transfer immigrants destined for other points Those going to the rural districts of the Provinces "of Havana and Pinar del Rio will be sent to the Cabanas Bar racks and will not be allowed to en­ ter Havana except en route. Ijt is thought that these precautions will re­ sult in a rapid decrease of the yellow fever, as 90 per cent of the cases now under treatment are among the im­ migrants.

This is a net gain for Mc­ Kinley of 14,803. Bryan's plurality in 1S96 was 13,500. With this ratio of in­ crease throughout the missing counties McKinley will have a plurality of about 5,000 in the state, says the Bee, which is a Republican paper. There were 12,- 0Q0 to 15,000 more votes polled In the state than in 1886, and the fusionists claim these are mostly from the cities and towns, which .have already been heard from, and that the counties yet unreport­ ed will give Bryan a small plurality in the state. The state ticket is running close to the vote on president, and it may require the official count to decide on governor and other state offices. Both sides claim four out of the six congress­ men. The legislative is closer than any other ticket. The Douglas county dele­ gation will be split about in half be­ tween fusionists and Republicans. The latest returns indicate that neither side will have more than five or six majority on Joint ballot. The Demm-rutl* Ftaiwlftjr In Colorado. Denver telegram: The fusionists will have a majority of seventy-four on joint ballot In the legislature which will elect a successor to United States Senator Wal- cott.

' Plurality In Oreeon In 14,000. Complete returns from all but three small counties in the state give McKin­ ley a plurality of 14,226. Old Oftetri In Paddle.

The? bankers ana the big financial men of? the country \who defeated us this year would have Regarded McKinley as the safer man for >hem in any case. Silver was scarcely anNssue this year," ^ Asked if It was hot so that he, Senator Jones, Richard Croker, Senator Gorman,; and others favored a mere reaffirmation of the Chicago platform at Kansas City and no specific indorsement of free silver, he said: "Yes, we thought that would be the best course to follow. But then there are two sides to that question. Had we followed that course the Democrats of the west who favor free coinage of sil­ ver would have said after our defeat, That's what you get for abandoning silver.' They would have said that just as surely as the Democrats of the east now say, 'See what you get for sticking to silver.' "The moneyed interests of the country preferred McKinley to Bryan, that is all there was to it. No, I certainly do not not regard it as a mistake to have nom­ inated Bryan. He was the only man under whom we had a show. It is early now to talk of a reorganization of the party. That is a question for the fu­ ture. Walt until the smoke of this battle clears away." jEckeli Bentei Mryan. James H. Eckels says: "Fortunately for the country Mr. Bryan has been re­ tired permanently and today the Demo­ cratic party has a future." Thomas A. Moran says: "The Demo­ cratic party of the future will be reor­ ganized upon principles that will exclude the financial heresy of the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, and will place the party where it always stood, prior to 18SS, in favor of a sound currency, • baaed upon a gold standard." Gen. Black R*.v* Free Silver. Gen. John C. Black says: "If the Democ­ racy will re-establish itself upon Its an­ cient foundations, cut out populism, and in all its phases refuse to war upon the Judiciary and the courts, turn forever from financial heresies, and become again the bullion party of the United States; if it will pledge itself to the eternal territorial integrity of the American union and the continued supremacy of the American nation under its old motto of 'an indivis­ ible Union of indestructible states,' then it may hope for renewed life, honor, and success," Others speak along the same lines.

Of the crew and passengers of the ill- fated steamship sixty-tbdPee persons are reported to have perished in the Wreck. Some of the bodies have al­ ready been Washed ashore. Among those who perished, it is reported, were many women and children. When the terrific hurricane stuck the steamer she was in the Bay of Pundy. Great seas were hurled over her and in a short tiaSie she became unmanageable. Soon she started her timbers and be­ gan leaking. The water gained fast, and when it was decided to take to the boats a frantic scramble between the crew and passengers began. Some were washed overboard. Some lost their lives by the overturning of small boats. Others went down with the ill-fated steamer. She sank off Cape Forchie. The City of Monticello ran between Yarmouth and Halifax, whiet is 140 miles from the home port. She halls from Glasgow and was built at the yards of the Harlan & Hollings- worth company, Wilmington, Del., in 1866. She was formerly the City of Norfolk. Her registered gross tonnage Is 1,034. Captain Smith, Mr. Eldridge and 'Miss MacDonald were saved. The list of lost includes many well-known local navigators. Captain Thomas Harding, the master of the Monticello, who Is among the lost, leaves a widow and one daughter, at present residing in Yarmouth. The Monticello carried a full freight and a fairly large passen­ ger list. Just before it foundered an attempt was made to reach the land in a small boat in charge of the quarter­ master, and it contained Third Officer Fleming, Kate Smith, stewardess; Captain Smith of the Pharsalia and Acting Quartermaster Wilson Cook. This boat was smashed by a huge comber, the occupants being hurled high upon the beach at Pembroke, un­ injured. It is believed these are the only survivors. a: Brick Yards Go to Tract ;v' : ; Practically all the brick yards In Middlesex county, .Massachusetts, have passed to the control of the New Eng­ land Brick company. The trust has purchased the yards in Belmont, Cam­ bridge, Concord, And over and Med- ford, aggregating 350 acres of land, with buildings. The deeds have been placed on record and the stamps show that the consideration wa& $348,000. Of this amount the Bay State Brick com­ pany received $300,000, the trust taking all of the company's plants in Cam­ bridge, Concord and other places. It is understood that plans also are in preparation for taking in all of the brick yards in New England, so that the company will be able to con­ trol the entire output from the New Brunswick border to the Hudson river.
