The principal, a Turk named All, has been sentenced to death by hanging, and the two accomplices to imprisonment at hard labor for fifteen years. The department has from the outset pressed the matter with all urgency to the extent of oraering one of our naval vessels to Constantinople, and, in addi- {ion to the imperative demands’ madé through Mr. Heap for exemplary justice, it has author- ized his [eke attendance at the trial and the employment of able counsel to assist in th Prosecution of the murderers. Their prompt conviction and sentence 1s doubtless due to the activity of the measures taken by this govern- ment. Mason NELSON’s TRIAL.—The court mart'a' to try Major Nelson, U. S.

Now they shculd have in the trial for their alleged crimes the same chances that the white man has; they should have as good lawyers as we can give them, and we should defend them the same as you would be allowed to defend your children if they were jn prison and were to be tried. ‘Gisoers hie Now my ve put together from their earnip: Paihtie money to be used in helping our chilaren in this trouble.

CONGRESSMAN BLLIS ON THE SITUATION. Congressman E!lis, of Louisiana, who has been canvassing Ohio for the democrats for a month past, arrived in Washington this morn- ing just from the Buckeye state. He says the democratic organization in Ohio ts thorough and complete; that wherever he went he was told of recruits to the democracy, but he only heard of one democrat who had gone over to the republicans; that the changes to the demo- crats run as high as$ per cent of the vote in some localities, He says Hunt dem.) will beat Butterworth (rep) for Congress inthe first dis- trict, and there Is an even chance for Banning (dem.) in the second district; that the demo- crats will carry Hamilton county by 1,200 or 1,500 majority; that Cleveland will give a re- duced republican ee “If there could be @ fair election in Ohio to-day,” said Mr. Eilis, ‘the democrats would carry the state by 5,000 Inajority. But the republicans are desperate. They have all the election machinery, federal and state, and will use it recklessly. They have colonized large numbers of negro men trom other states and will vote them. But Hancock is 5,000 votes stronger than his ticket in Obio, and will carry the state in November. ‘Then the republicans cannot concentrate their power and repeaters in one state.” Mr. Ellis thinks the republicans will carry the state by 5,000 or 7,000 majority, and will elect 11 or 12 Congressmen; that the democrats will elect 7 and perhapss Congressmen. Frank Hurd, he thinks, will be beaten. As to Indiana, his’ in- formation from penne democrats was that Landers will he elected by 1,000 majority. He did not believe that elther party would get much advantage of the other in the way of fraudulent yotes. Mr. Ellis said: “It the re- publicans lose either Indiana or Ohio it defeats Garileld. We can lose both states and stil elect Hancock. I belleve Hancock will carry both states next month. Looking Westward. WHEN THE NEWS WILL COME. The greatest interest is manifested on all sides touching the result of the elections in Ohio and Indiana to-day. But little business was transacted In any 03 the departments, the anxlety being so great that nearly the whole day Was given up to discussing end canvassing the probabilities. It is doubtful if the result in Indiana, if at all close, will be known before to- morrow afternoon. The first news recetvs from Indiana to-night will be from the large cities, where the oe expect to make . It is probable that before midnigh' enough will be known to rather clearly indicate how the state has gone, bu' the result of t congressional fight is not expected to be know before the Issue of THE Srak to-morrow afte noon. Doctors Differ About Yellow Fever. THE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE NATIONAL ‘BOARD OF HEALTH AND THE LOUISIANA BOARD. The national board of health and the sta‘e board of health of Louisiana, which has been growing for some time, has been the subject of numerous reports and letters. Dr. Sternberg, surgeon U.S. A., reported in August last thai yellow fever existed on the Lower Mississippi. He was requested by the national board of health to inspect and report fully. On Septem- ber 10th he made a detailed report, 1a which he ee assertéd the existence of yellow ever of a mild type with a low rate of mort: ity except where the disease was vated by vicious local conditions. The first case he said appeared early in August. The Louisiana state board of health denied that yellow tever ex- isted, and refused the ald of from $5,000 to $10,000 offered them by the national board to suppress the fever. The controversy as to its existence became so warm that a commissioa, consisting of Dr. Bi ot New Orleans; Dr. J. P. Davidson, of the Louisiana state board of health, and Dr. Sternberg were appointed to inspect and report. They were accompanied on their mission by the Tennessee member of the national board. Drs. Bran and Davidson reported that there was no yellow fever, put that the disease prevailing and reported by Dr. peern bere us rice fever. Dr. Sternberg "still held to his report that yellow fever existea. ‘The local press took a hand in the dispute, and bitterly denounced Dr. Sternberg and’ the national board. The state board pas:ed resolu- ions condemnation of the reporis sent out by the national board as to the health of Louisiana. Drs, Bemiss and Mitchell, members of the national board at New Orleans and Memphi were intrusted with an examination oat whole affair. They have concluded the labors and forwarded a report. They review the controversy, and conclude as follow “Considering the advanced stage of the sea- son, the favorable health conditions of the val- ley, the more than doubtful utility of any steps still possible ee to fsolation, disinfection, «e., and the desirability of avoiding overt action likely to create anxiety and apprehension,tt not positive panic—these considerations have ta- duced the representatives of the board to refrain from recommending further action in the pred ises at the present time. They cannot, however, close this report without placing themselves on record as fully accepting and indorsing Surgeon Sternberg’s conclusions, to wit: 1. That yellow fever (about 100 cases) existed between August 1 and September 10 in Plaquemine Parish, Louts- jana. 2. That the outbteak had its origin in the immediate vicinity of the Mississippi river quar- antine station, the first case, August 1, occ ring directly opposite the point where the in- tected bark Excelsior was detained from July 11 to August 16, 3. That while the type of the disecse yes rena mild, vicious local condi- tons existed which aggravated {it into the most fatal form, four dying in one family out of tive attacked.” Political Notes. It is stated that ex-Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island, disgusted with the aseendency of Conk- lng in the west has come out for Hancock. A Tennessean who holds a public position here in Washington has just returned from his halve state. He says tte low-tax, or repudta- Uonists, being of Lhe democratic party In Te: nessee refuse all proffers of compromnise, ay that there is great danger of the democra' losing the state lcket and legislature, B. F. Lewis, democrat, has been nominated regress in the 24th New York district, and Charles Russell, democrat, in the Sth Massac:iu- setts. The liquor interest 1n Michigan having arrayed itself on the side of the democrats, Mr. Jerome, the republican candidate for governor, is satd to have written a letter making a bid for the sup- port of the liquor sellers. This document ts said to be in the hands of a friend at Detroit, who will make it public at an early day. Richard Smith, editor of the Cinwinnati Ga- 2zetle, (rep.,) telegraphs east that there will be avery large vote in Ohio, the largest ever cast. ‘The interest In the election is ter than at Vallandigham campaign. parties have exerted them Selves to the utmost.

At S o'clock when the polis were opened long Lines of voters stood wailing. At Yellow Bridge precinct, which is the colored stronghold, at least 500 colored men were on hand. They will remain all day. some of the leading republican ladies having agreed to furnish 8 bountiful lunch sut- fictent for all the colored voters in town. The entire police force of the city is stationed in the vicinity of the polling places. In addition there are twenty-five United States deputy marshals for each of the twenty-five wards. The drink- ing saloons were all orderod to be closed by the mayor, but no trouble is experienced In getting in at the back doors. A number of drunken men have already appeared on the streets, but So far no disturbance whatever has occurred. A dezen or more attempts to get In fraudulent votes lave been promptly detected and stopped. The challengers on both sides are ex tremely vigilant. fe democrats are ex ercising a very careful scrutiny over the colored vote. ‘The hordes of rounders and repeaters from the eastern cities are generaliy keeping themselves in the background, although a few have been seen hovering on the outskirts of the Polls, A circular was distributed around the Polls to-day to the effect that Mr. Porter (re- publican candidate for governor) had pledgei himself in favor of a probibitory law, but it was promptly denounced by repubiicans’as un true, Both parties are bringing up thelr voters as rapidly as possible. Various are the devices resorted to for the purpose of deceiving the un- Wary voter. There is considerable scratching on both sides. All the leading democrats and republicans are spending the day in driving trom poil to poti encouraging their respective voters. At one o'clock the republicans claimed that they would have an increased majority in this city and county, and the democrats are inclined to con- cede it. Sut nothing definite has yet been re- celved from any part of the state. From South Bend — Republicans Claiming Gains, [Special Dispatch to The Star.)

[Special Dispaich to The Star.} NEw YORK, Oct. 12, p. m.—Dispatches trom Indiana and Ohio to both republican and demo- cratic headquarters are meager, and devoted principally to nny with the question of ice at the polls.

The net resuit of expectations here are as follows: The republicans believe, from their canvass and the progress up to 10 o'clock this morning, as telegraphed, to get 10,000 majority in Ohio and hold their own in the number ot Congressmen. In Indiana they expect to lose the state, but cut Gown the majority several thousand.

The general impression among the best informed now ts that Ohio will go republi- can and Indiana democratic, and that the ques- Uon is simply one of majority. At both head- quarters the answer regarding news 1s that tbey do not t to hear anything tangible Ull after 4 o'clock; that they counsel against Violence at the polls in Indiana, and that every- thing Is peaceable so far. Not asingie case of disturbance has yet been noted.
