Duriag the bombardment this morning the gunboat Thrush was hit sixty-two times and the cruiser Racoon was hit six- teen times by the guns on shore. After the first broadside from the war ships many of the Khallidites fled to the outskirts of the town, where there was much looting, and several Indians were Kliled. Up to the last mament no one be- leved Said Khalid would resist.

The foreign gunboats and the mer- ghant vessels steamed away from the scene of action: The crew of the sultan’s ship gieseom hoisted the union jack as the ship sank. Admiral Rawson directed the attack from the flagship St. George. The majority of these killed on the sultan’s side were As- kinis, only a few Arabs perishing. The gunboat Thrush really did the greatest execution with her guns during the firing. The forces of Lieut. Raikes killed and cap- tured several looters and murderers. None of his men were wounded. Throughout the engagement the blue jackets were ‘usily engaged in capturing pillagers and persons engaged in the slave trade.

Official Account of the Constantinople Rioting. The riots which caused so much disturb- ance throughout Constantinople are appar- ently at an end. The leaders of the mob who attacked the offices of the Ottoman Bank surrendered. and will be expelled frem Turkey. The official account of the troubles attributes the riots to an organ- ized effort on the part of the central com- mittee of the Armenian revolutionists to stir up a revolution. The invad2rs, as if by @ preconcerted arrangement, suddenly en- tered the great hall of the Ottoman Bank, armed with revolvers, daggers and dyna- mite bombs. Forming in small groups, they were accosted by the officer of the gvard, who demanded from them a state- ment of their business with the bank. Without stopping to reply they blew out his brains and then Killed and beheaded the gendarmes, throwing the heads of the dead men out into the sireets. During the resultant confusion they closed tne doors of the bank and hurled a number of bombs into the street. Four Turkish ladies who were driving along in a carriage were blown to pieces by the ex- plesicn of one of the dynamite bombs. Two of the French employes of the bank, while descending from a window by means of a rope, were wounded by one of the explo- sions. They narrowly escaped with their lives by reason of timely intervention of the imperial troops. The rioters also capturf#i a hotel in the city of Constantinople and bumbs and shot and missiles fairly raineg, upon the heads cf the passersby, woundiig many persons. Many similar events are reported from va- rious portions of the ¢lty. It is known that a great many persong have been killed, but it is impossibie to agcertain the exact rumber, owing to the prévalent excitement and the desire on the pqft ef the Armen- jans, as well as the Turkish authorities to keep the identity of the Hilled and wounded secret.

THEN HE BROUGHT OUT BLACK With Peace in Republican Ranks the Campaign Opens. ACTIVE WORK BEGUN Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, August 27, 1896. The nomination of Representative Frank §. Black of Troy as the republican can- didate for governor has relieved Mr. Platt of considerable trouble. When the dele- gates went to the convention at Saratoga Mr. Platt’s own followers were engaged in bitter rivalry over ambitious candidates, and there were anti-Platt factions in New York, Kings and Erie counties, who were threatening to make trouble for him if he selected any one of his leutenants as a candidate. Mr. Platt went up to Sara- toga, took a brief look at the situation, and to divert attention from the booms of Speaker Hamilton Fish and Superintendent of Public Works George W. Aldridge, he projected himself into the field as a can- didate. This was so unexpected to the poll- ticlans that it caused a sensation and easily effected the purpese for which Mr. Platt designed it. It prevented the delogates from arraying themselves under the ban- ners either of the leading candidates or of combining on any dark horse. It caused a sensation, to be sure, such as Mr. Platt has seldom been responsible for. Mr. Platt nursed it for two days, and ailowed it to live until within a few hours of the open- ing of the convention. All for Platt. Everybody was for Mr. Platt, except the very hostile leaders of the opposition fac- tion, and some of them, including former Representative in Congress James J. Bel- den, promised loyal support to the leader from Tioga county, if he became the can- didate. There is pretty gcod evidence that a gubernatorial bee was buzzing in Mr. Platt’s hat, but when he looked the state all over and counted up his aneieat enemies who would be likely to make trou- ble for him, he quietly got out of the way. Mr. Platt then devoted a little time to considering who was the next most avail- able man, and his choice finally rested on Mr. Black. The Congressman has always been allied with the Platt machine, when- ever occasion presented itself for nim to appear in state politics. Those occasions have been few, as he has never been a candidate for state office, never served cn a state committee, and has been a dleleg ite at no convention where the Platt and anti- Platt forces were arrayed against each other. When he was nominated for Con- gress he had the support of Lou Payn of Columbia county, who was the messenzer to bear the resignation of Thomas C. Platt and Roscoe Conkling from the United States Senate to the governor of this state. Ever since that time, as, indeed, for vears before, he has been one of the most in- timate of Mr. Platt’s political friends. So, in selecting Mr. Black, Mr. Platt secured a candidate thoroughly in line with his or- ganization. At the same time he selected one who had never made himself obnoxious to the anti-Platt elements in the state. Milholland Surrenders, Chief among these is the so-called Mc- Kinley League, an organization of which George E. Matthews of Buffalo is presi- dent and John E. Milholland of this city one of the leading spirits. They, with sev- eral hundred of their followers, attended the state convention, each carrying a knife. They were there to make trouble for Mr. Platt, and they announced that fact with a ‘flourish of trumpets. If Mr. Platt had nominated Mr. Fish, Mr. Aldridge, ex- Representative Wadsworth, or any cne of the other leading candidates, they would have had a parade, with banners, denounc- ing Mr. Platt and his organization. More- over, they were prepared to divide the vote in New York, Kings and Erie counties against any of Mr. Platt’s lieutenants; but the selection of Mr. Black blunted their knives. The anti-Platt delegates, of whom there were perhaps twenty-five from New York city, and about as many more from Brooklyn, were apparently hypnotiz- ed by the events immediately preceding the balloting, and they Joined with the rest. For the first time in the history of the state when there was any contest Kings and New York counties went in a solid block, 227 delegates, for one candidate. The McKinley leaders in Buffalo followed the lead of those in New York, and gave their forty votes for the “machine” candidate. Slight Opposition. After the cenveati n there was +o pa- rade of the McKinley leaguers against Mr. Platt. Apparently the organization had ceased to exist. John E. Miiholland went to Candidate Black within thirty minutes from the hour of his nomination, and told him he proposed to support him. It is more than likely that the anti-Platt men wili continue fighting the ex-Senaior In the lo- cal affairs of New York city. They cannot very well acknowledge that they have been wrong during the last six months that they have been making loud cries against what they term the “fraudulent enrollment” in some of the assembly districts here. But as there is no local contest this year, and as Mr. Platt’s organization, headed by Ed- ward Lauterbach, is in absolute control in this city, Mr. Platt does not care very much what they do, so long as they support the state ticket. Essentially the same situa- tion was found in Brooklyn after the nomi- nation of Mr. Black. The so-called Wurs- ter-Willis faction, headed by the mayor of the city, went to Saratoga as bitterly op- posed to Mr. Black as were John E. Mil-, holland and his followers. Mr. Wurster took occasion while he was there to call upon Mr. Platt, and it is said by the friends of both factions, and denied by none, that an olive branch passed between them dur- ing the forty minutes that the visit lasted. After Kings county had voted solidly for Mr. Platt’s candidate, it was hard to find any remnant of the Wurster-Willis faction among the delegates, although it is ex- pected that they will still fight the organ- ization in some of the assembly districts of Kings county. Peace Behind Him, Mr. Platt is thus able to open the state campaign, in conjunction with Mr. Hanna, under peaceful circumstances. The friends of the defeated candidates, as a rule, say they will support the ticket loyally, and they probably will do so, because the other candidates who were strongest among the delegates have had extensive favors al- ready at the hands of the Platt organiza- tion, and they are accustomed to recogniz- ing tLe rule of Mr. [latt iu all matters of politics. speaker Hamilton Fish has shown more signs 91 essapprintment than any of the other candidates. He has served in the assembly at intervals ever since the early seventies. He has twice been elected speakér. He was the man, more than any other one eacepi Mr. Platt, who was re- sponsible tor the passage of the Raines Nquor law iast wiuter, @ measure which was warmly indorsed in the state platform. It has heen h = «mb ton to follow the fooi- steps of his father to the office of the chief executive «f the state. He has considerable money and a taste for official life. His wife is promivent nu sxcisty, ard is awhitious for oer nusband. ir ‘ich is not making any threats, nor is he likely to make any serious trouple because of his defeat; but it is quite likely that he may think it ad- visable to take his family to Europe in the near future, to remain during the winter, and he will thus be out of the state during the campaign. Already at Work. The republicans have not waited for the formal opening of the campaign before getting to work. Some weeks ago, under the direction of Chairman Hackett of the state committee, a canvass was conducted in one election district in each county of the state, with a view to ascertaining how much sentiment for free silver existed among the republican ranks. Instructions were issued by Mr. Hackett to make out and return to the state headquarters a poll of the voters in the districts canvassed, showing the changes since the last presi- dential ‘election. The detailed results of this canvass have not been made known, but the state committee professes to be yery well satisfied with the showing made. In ‘some sections republicans are found who propose to vote for Bryan. The re- publican committee men say that these will be offset more than 2 to 1 by demo- crats who will vote either for McKinley or for a third ticket. With these election districts as the basis of the sentiment in the various counties, the committee has started the distribution of sound money literature, and several million documents have already been mail- ed. The protection issue is not lest sight of. Into all parts of the state the tariff literature is also sent. ————— SENATOR MITCHELL FOR McKINLEY. Oregon Republicans Take Heart in Face of a Hard Fight. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. PORTLAND, Oreg., August 23, 1896. That the republicans of Oregon have doubts of the result of the election in No- vember is evidenced by the fact that they have entered upon the most aggressive and thorough campaign ever conducted in the state. Nothing will be left undone, no stone left unturned, to further the interests of the Ohio man. County leagues are being organized throughout the state, while nearly every village and hamlet boasts a McKinley and Hobart club. This organization is all very well for the larger cities, but the question is, how will it effect the farming class, who comprise two- thirds of the voters of the state? It Is these people the republican managers must reach and convince if Oregon's vote is to be found in the republican column when the electoral college formally declares who will succeed Grover Cleveland. The republican leaders know what they have to contend with. The June election taught them many things. It was for days that the results in the congressional dis- tricts hung in the balance, and when the result was finally and officially made known the pluralities for the republican candi- dates were small indeed. In June both the democrats and populists had candidates in the field. As it is now, these parties have the one national ticket, at least so far as its head is concerned. Even should the democrats put a third ticket in the field it will receive only a nominal vote in Oregon, for the democrats of the state are, as a rule, favorable to the principles for which Bryan is doing battle. What h-s givei n.uch encouravement to the repubuic .18 of the state is the telegram To cerved th = wk from .«nator Mitchell, Oregon's senior representative in the upper house of the national Congress. This tel- egram came from the Senator to his friends in Oregon, It stated that he would be here about August 24, and that he would take the field for McKinley so soon as arrange- ments could be made. The Senator, it Is known, expects to make speeches in every part of the state, and will do his utmost fo> the success of his party. Among the republicans there has been no doubt of the course Senator Mitchell would take, but his failure to declare himself openly gave heart to the populists, and there were many who hoped he would fol- low in the footsteps of Washington's senior Senator, and formally declare himself to be in favor of the election of the “Boy Orator of the Platte.” Work at republican league headquarters keeps right along day after day. Tho! sands of documents are sent out in each mail. Letters .are coming in from every county asking for literature, and no re- quest is denied. In addition, numbers call each day, and help themselves from the va- rious kinds spread upon the tables. The populists and democrats are in a great quandary over the vice presidency. The more they think about it the greater is their dilemma. At the recent Bryan rati- fication by the democrats of Portland not one of the managers had the courage to say a word in behalf of their party’s nomi- nee. The result of the election reaily de- pends upon the electoral ticket of the pop- ocrats. If this can be adjusted to suit both sides, then Bryan will poll the full vote of the two parties. If not, the vote will be di- vided: and if it is, McKinley's election is certain. The republicans are much elated over the resignation of Jonathan Bourne, jr., as sec- retary of the republican state central com- mittee. Owing to his past advocacy of sil- ver, his resignation has been demanded ail along the line, but it was only a day or two ago that this was forthcoming. Bourne has not yet declared himself as to his pref- erences in the campaign, for the only dif- ference ne has with the repudlican party is on the money issue. He no doubt felt that since the active work of the campaign must begin at once, it was proper that he should yield to those who are fully pre- pared to enter upon it. Ex-State Senator Denny is his successor. He has always been a steadfast adherent of the republican party, is known throughout the state, and will do his best for the republican cause. The committee is now organized for the active work of the campaign, and will push its efforts as fast as possible into every part of the state. Ex-Gov. Pennoyer’s election as mayor of Portland promises to redound to the ben- efit of the republicans and help the cam- paign for McKinley. His course so far has tended to separate the democrats and pop- ulists, by whose joint vote he was made the city’s chief executive. The republican press is making everything possible out of each false step, and is doing its utmost to separate the bedfellows of June last. if it can do this, McKinley will be benefited, and its every effort is now to benefit McKinley. Sais Se SYNDICATE OF COUNTERFEITERS. Confession of a Man Who W verted at a Reviv The federal authorities at Waco, Texas, have discovered a counterfeiting system of large proportions, and have captured a complete outfit for the manufacture of bogus silver dollars in imitation of the United States coins of that denomination. The first clew was furnished by Edward Ennis, who attended a revival meeting, and, after professing conversion, arose in the congregation and stated that he was a counterfeiter. The arrest of Ennis was followed by the arrest of John Mitchell and H. 5S. Shan- non. When the prisoners were arraigned Ennis repeated his confession and gave details which led to the finding of the camp near Hill county, at which place the metal, moids, rollers ‘and crucibles were scattered around iike common pots and pans. Ennis told Commissioner Fink that seven factories for the manufacture of the spur- fous coin existed in the United States. The syndicate was called the Royal Manu- facturing Company. It is stated by Ennis that agencies of the counterfeiting cor- poration exist in Canada and Mexico. He also says operations are going on in New York and Chicago. A consignment of 2,000 Mexican dollars was received in Waco a few months ago, it is said, and was used in the manufacture of the spurious coins. Another consign- ment of ten thousand Mexican dollars ar- rived a few weeks ago, but was forwarded by Ennis to some other point. ———_+ e+ —___ COLGROVE SUPREME CHANCELLOR.

Reasons Why This Would Be a Good Invest : mt for the Morgan Syndicate. Mention was made in The Star several mcrths ago that all indications pointed to the acquirement by the Southern Railway Company of the Norfolk and Western rail- read. These who are in a position to be reasonably well informed on the subject say that arrangemenis for the deal have been practically completed, and that the trarsaction will be formally closed at the foreclosure sale, which, it is understood, will take place during next month at the farthest. To secure the Norfolk and Western would be directly in line with the policy that the Southern has been pursuing for some time past, to absorb and consolidate with its own system any line that could be of special benefit to it. It ts the Impression in some quarters that if the consolidation above mentioned takes place one result will be the construction of a new short line of railway between Front Royal,Va.,on the Shenandoah Valley division of the N. and W., to Washington via Vienna and Falls Church, Va. The former owners of the Norfolk and Western were very anxious to have such a connec- tion, as it would save them an immense expense in getting their trains into Wash ington—their oniy means of getting here new being via the Baltumore and Ohio—but the hard times which set in three or four years ago and the passing of the N. and into the hands of receivers put an end WwW to the scheme for the time being. ‘. and W. The main lines of the Norfolk and West- ern extend from Norfolk and Portsmouth, Vv to Bristol, Tenn., from Roanoke, Va., to Hagerstown, Md., and from Kadford, Va., to Columbus, Ohio, @ total mileage of about 1,400 miles. The N. and Ww. would be a natural con- necticn for the Southern to make at Bris- tol, Tenn, At picsent the Southern is cut [of there. With ihe Norfolk and Westera in {ts possession, the Souinern would pra tically control th i €reat coal fields of Vir- ginia and mnessce, and it would get up into Maryland very r to Baltimore, Philedelphia and New - It would also reach up as far in Uh.o as Columbus, the very heart of thai rich country, and ‘with the Erice-Thotaas Lines out of ¢ nnau and Columbus, the Southern would have its own road from Chi the great lakes down into thi on and the Cincinnati, ia: om are undersivod to be kindred lines, as the Southern and Ceniral are understuod to be kindred in Georgia. Straws of Indication, Another matter which leads two the con- clusion on the part of some people that it is the intention of the Southern to absorb the Norfolk and Western is the followin Major Henry Fink is one of the receivers of the Norfolk aud Western. He was for a long tine the head and front of the st Tenressee, Virginia and Georgia, when it vas one of the Richmond and Danville Properties, When that road became the Property of the Southern Major Fink be- came the receiver of the Mem and Charleston. Afterward he was made a re- ceiver for the Norfolk and Western, and he continues to hold both positions. The Memphis and Charleston will, it is gener- ally understood, be sold at receiver's sale, and it Js conceded the Southern will pur- chase it. It is pretty well known that unsuccess- ful attempts were made by parties in Phil- adelphia, where the general offices of the Norfolk and Western are located, to re- organize the latier. Most of the stocks ee of the company are held in land. ————— DOWN AT PRINCESS ANNE. Extensive Improvements Outlined for Another Season. Special Correspondence of ‘The Evening Star. VIRGINIA BEACH, August 26, 1896. The old dominton'’s famous watering re- sort has had an unusually delightful se: son. Its surf bathing, said to be the best on the Atlantic coast, has been finer than ever. The Princess Anne Hotel the past season has more than kept up its record for hospitality and gaiety. The cottazes, too, have been thronged with guests, who, as the evening comes, wend their way to the Princess Anne and lend their pres- ence to the enjoyment to be found there. Dances and card parties are the regular order of the evening; now and then the monotony is broken by a concert or re- ception. Each season se33 some improve- ment over the last. Just at present Dame Fortune has a bright emile for this resort, for the near future is to bring even vaster improvement and home happiness. The management, largely in the hands of such vealthy men as W. K. Vanderbilt and Col- onel Byrd, have decided to expend a large amount at once. The Princess Anne 1s to have additional rooms, more cottages and resorts are to be erected, and the pre dummy narrow gauge railroad from folk is to be made a double-track sta gauge, with much finer roiling stock. id over $190,000 will hardly pay f contemplated expenditures. In fact, also said that Mr. Vanderbilt has s complete control of the property, whic’ true, alone means much indeed. With the improvements noted, and quicker and pleasanter transportation from th of Washington, Baltimore and points, there 1s no reason why Beach, with its delightful climate should not outrival other rivals.
