2 THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. LATE NEWS BY WIRE German Discourtesy to the British at Zanzibar. TOOK FUGITIVE USURPER ON SHIPBOARD Protest of the Consul Against the Action. AN IMPORTANT INCIDENT ZANZIBAR, October 2.—An incident of great political importance occurred here to- day, resulting in decidedly strained rela- tiors between the British and German of- ficials ashore, and which may lead to in- ternatioral complications of a serious na- ture. After the bombardment of the Palace of Zanzibar by the British gunboats Sparrow, ‘Thrush and Racccon Seyyid Khalid, who had proclaimed himself sultan, August 25, after the sudden death of the sultan, sought refuge at the German ccrsulate. ‘A demand was made by the British au- thorities for his surrender, but the German consul, acting upon instructions received from his government, refused to place the fugitive in the hands of the British. This caused considerable diplomatic corres- pondence between Great Britain and Ger- many. The situation took a new turn this morn- An unusually high tide prevailed, and ile it was touching the wall of the Ger- man consulate, Khalid was placed undez an escort of ‘armed sailors on board the German cruiser Seadler for con- veyance, it is believed, to one of the Ger- ran colonies. The British consul here, Mr. Basil Cave, in charge of the absence of Mr. A. H. Hardinge, the T agent and consul general, who has been to England to consult with the home govern- ment regarding the administration of Zan- zibar, was not noti of the removal of Kahlid to the German warship until after the usurper was safe on board the Sealer. But, so soon as he became aware of th action of the German authorities, Mr. Cave lodged a vigorous protest at the German consulate against the embarkation of Khalid, especially pointing out that the question of his surrender to the British authorities was still under discussion by the governments of Great Britain and Ger- many. Later Mr. Cave cabled a report of the circumstances to his government, and is now awaiting instructions from London. Viewed in the most conservative light, the incident is 1 as being an act of studied di: upon the part of the German representatives toward the representatives of Great Britain, and it can hardly fail to call for serious diplomatic representations. w MATCH GIRLS STRIKE. 1 Against Compulsory Dentistry.

LAGRANDE, October ational Bank of Joseph, Wallowa county, was robbed of $2,000 by three men, one of whom dead, another badly wounded, while the third is being pursued by a po: of citizens. At the time of the hold up there were four customers ini the bank. Cashier Me- Cully had occasion to go to a vault. When he came back he was confronted with a shotgun in the hands of a robber and told to throw up his hands. The customers had already complied with the request, and McCully did likewise. One of the robbers leaped over the railing and Ore. is opened the private door, through which the men w made to pa: inst the wall. The robb m at the door and compelle: to halt and throw up th third robber went into the vaul ing all the coin and currency, even nicke and placed them in a sack. He then de- manded from McCully the keys to the pri- vate boxes and ransacked them. By this time the report that the bank was being robbed reached the citizens, severs of whem armed themselves and awaited the appearance of the rebbers. When they appeared Alexander Don twenty-five years of age, killed one robber instantly another, hitting him twice. The third rob- ber had the sack containing the coin succeeded In reaching his horse, which was standing near by. The dead robber was named Brown, while the ped was Cy.

Kellogg Thinks Bryan Will Oarry Nebraska and Kansas. McKinley the Favorite on the Gen- eral Result at the Odds of Two and Two and a Half to One. The betting on the election ts beginning to be animated and wagers have already been made at the various places where politicians and sporting men congregate, while the talk that has been occasioned by the actual posting of money will probably lead to the making of more and numer- ols bets. At Shoomaker’s there has been no betting as yet on the results in vari- ous states, but there have been several on the general result, the odds being two to one on McKinley. Ex-Senator Kellogg, however, dropped into Shoomaker’s this morning and announced that he had $500 or any part of that sum to bet that Bryan would carry Nebraska or Kansas or both states, and that persons desiring a slice or all of this money could be accommodated by calling on Mr. Devine at the Shoreham Hotel. At the Losekam, on F street, several bets have been recorded on the general result, a3 well as on several individual states. The odds given here are two to one on McKinley and even money in the states regarded as doubtful. One gen- tleman made a bet last week of $20 even that Bryan would carry New York, but there are very few repetitions of this con- fidence expected. A wager of consider- able significance was made at the Lose- kam this morning, when Col. E. W. Ayers and Mr. J. T. Bivins wagered a hundred dollars each on the result in West Vir- ginia, Col. Ayers taking the Bryan end of it. The confidence of Mr. Bivins on Mc- Kinley’s chances in West Virginia is re- garded as significant, because Mr. Bivins is the private secretary to Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller, who is, as_well known, cae of the most prominent of West Virginia democrats, and besides this has probably a wider acquaintance in the state than any other permanent resident of Washington, and he is not believed to be betting on sentiment. Odds in New York. The latest New York odds which were pested in the bookmakers’ exchanges there yesterday evening are as follows: General result, 2 1-2 to 1, McKinley; New York city, even money. The states where Bryan odds are given are as follows: Alabama, 21-2 to 1; Arkansas, 4 to 1; Georgia, 3 to 1; Idaho, 8 to 5; Mississippi, 3 to 1; Montana, 3 to 1; Nevada, 3 to 1; South Carolina, 3 to 1; Texas, 3 to 1. Even money is offered on California, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland and West Virginia. The odds in w r. McKinley figures are as follows: Connecti cut, 10 to 7; Delaware, 10 to 7; Hlnois, to 4; Indiana, 10 to 7; Iowa, 10 to 9; Maine, | 4 to 1; Massachusetts, 6 to 1; igan, 10 Minnesota, 1 New Hampshire, 4 to 1; New Jersey New York, 6 to 1; Ohio, 2 to 1; Peansylvania, 10 to 1; Rhode Island, 2 to 1; Vermont, 6 to 1, and Wiscon- sin, 10 to 7.

Several Bicycle Cases Before the Police Court. William Kennedy and Richard J. Beale were in the Police Court today for fast rid- ing on their bicycles, Officers Duvall and Robertson of the bicycle squad being the prosecuting witnesses. During the cours¢ of the hearing Policeman Duvall told the court that there were forty or fifty thous- and wheels in the city and he was sa’ fied that almost every one of them violated the law. But, he said, they only arrest those who ride unusually fast. Judge Kimball said he was of the same cpinion, and, commenting on the cases, he said that the law was intended to protect the riders as well as pedestrians. He rec- cgnized tre importance of the law, and fined the defendants ch. A boy named William Hall was tried on a milar enarge, and the officer pleaded ig- norance for him. “He is not only the officer said, everything else.”” “Don’t you read the papers?” was asked. “I can't red my name. baby, school. He said he had been here from the coun- try only a few months, and the court let him off with a fine of only $1. George Hayes forfeited $5 collateral for fast riding, and Clarence B. S.

The Philadelphia Cricketers Begin Another Match With the Australians. HAVERFORD, Pa., October 2.—The third and last of the international cricket matches between the Gentlemen of Phila- delphia and the Australians began today on the grounds of the Merion Cricket Club, Haverford. ‘There has been a further change in the make-up of the home eleven since their match at Selmont, which was finished on Monday.

REDUCED RATES 70 REGISTER AND VOTE Many Encouraging Reports Re- ceived From Different States. THE PACIFIC SLOPE —_>—__—_. A bureau of transportation is to be opened in a few days at republican congressional headquarters to facilitate the convey ince of voters resident in Washington to their homes in the several states to register and cast their votes in the coming elections. It is not the purpose of the bureau to provide free transportation, however, but to fur- nish information and to put the prospective travelers in touch with the railroad com- panies, to secure reduced rates and to see that they are dispatched to their destina- tion in time to register, which in many of the states is a prerequisite to voting. ‘The bureau will be in charge of Mr. Bass of Indiana, who has had some experience in that line. It will be installed in the room formerly occupied by Mr. Bailey, the young man who received visitors calling upon Chairman Babcock. Mr. Bailey has gone upor a hunting trip to Georgia. The committee is gradually winding up the literary bureau, as the country is now pretty weil stocked with Hterature. The force has been considerably decreased with- in the past week and will be curtailed more from now on. The committee will keep a stock of documents on hand, however, 4s there are demands from scattered 5 daily. Visitors Today. Mr. Richard Kerens, national committee- man from Missouri, was a caller upon Chairman Babcock this morning. Mr. Ker- ens brought Mr. Babcock news of the situ- ation in his state, and to the newspaper men whom he saw he insisted that the re- publican outlook is very bright. Representative Pugh of the ninth Ken- tucky district was also one of the vallers. He expressed confidence in his ability to carry his district and said there were not over 5iX) populists in it. He said the out- look in Kentucky for the republican na- tional ticket was exceedingly bright. Among the letters received at congres- sional headquarters by Chairman Babcock today was one from Representative Rich- ard Bartholdt of one of the St. Louis dis- triets. “The outlook in Missouri generally is most encouraging,” writes Mr. Bartholdt. “I have made two trips through the state, and the attendance of our meetings, the general interest shown in our cause and the genuine enthusiasm displayed where justify the statements that Missouri will array herself on the side of intelligent progress and honest money. Our party is united and our campaign managed by master hands. The state ticket is Jevlop- ing phenomenal strength because of the popularity of our standardbearer, Robert E. Lewis, and the number of sound money democrats is increasing daily. If we win great credit will be due te the Germans, who stand like a stone wall against the at- tempted debasement of our currency and the tarnishing of our national honor, just as they did in Ohio in the 70s against greenbackism.” Representative Hulick writes from Ohio: “Everything is going our way in Ohio afi everywhere else. A year from this time Bryan will hardly remember that he has been a candidate.” Good News From Kansas. Representative Kirkpatrick in a letter dated Fredonia, Kan., September 28, writes: “I am still pushing my campaign at the rate of ten speeches a week, and my meet- ings are largely attended, and the tide is in our favor. We will undoubtedly carry the state by a handsome majority, as well as our several congressional districts. We have managed to effect the most perfect organization in every county in my dis- trict, and are moving along with the pre- cision of clockwork. Every republican seems willing to do what he and _busi- ngss men that never paid any attention to politics are now working heroically. I am confident in saying to you that the state will line up for McKinley.”” Representative Burrell, Carmi, Ill, say: in a letter from ‘Our state will give a large majority @ national and state tickets. I shall fected even with fusion between democrats and populist Representative Curtis of Iowa writes have thus far been quite active in my can- vass throughout the district, and have to report that the situation on the whole is very encouraging indeed. I think we are gaining ground every day, and I confident- ly expect to carry my district by a good majority. We shall probably have 4,000 to 4,500 democrats with us in this district. ‘They are coming our way rapidly, and I think, without doubt, will stay with us. A Republican From Texas. Mr. W. S. Farmer of Leonard, Texas, in the fifth (Bailey's) district, writes that he fs confident the republican candidate for Congress in that district will receive a heavy plurality in November. He says the populists distrust and dislike the dem- ocratic Bryan party thoroughly, and that they will not only fuse with the republi- cans, but that they will heartily co-cperate at the polls and carry out the plans of the Jeaders. He says also that at least 25 per cent of the democratic vote will support the sound money democratic candidate. He is confident that the state itself will be carried for the McKinley electors. The Pacific Slope. A member of Associate Justice Field's party was interviewed at Omaha the other day, and stated that there is no question that California will give a fair majority to McKinley. Many of the coast papers ciaTm the state for silver, but from people with whom the party came in contact it was very evident that the masses of thinking people had decided in favor of honest money. The fact that gold is one of the largest circulating mediums in the coast country alone is a strong argument for its future continued use. Representative Johnson of North Dakota writes: “Tide is setting strongiy our way. Both Dakotas will stand by McKinley and sound money. South Dakota will elect a republican legislature.” — The Revenue Stenmer Windom. The customs flag of the United States has been hoisted over the new revenue steamer Windom, built for service on the Baltimore station, and as she lies at Chase’s wharves, Baltimore, she is one of the neatest in the service. In a few days she will leave for this city, where she will be examined by the Secretary of the Treasury, the officiais of the revenue marine bureau and others. The Windom was built at Dubuque, Iowa, by the Iowa Iron Works, and she promises to be one of the fleetest cutters in the rev- enue service. From New Orleans, where she was delivered by her contractors, she made the run to Baltimore in five days and seventeen hours, one of the smartest sea trips on record between the points named. She is 180 feet long and twenty feet beam, and is a steel twin-screw steamer, with en- gines 11 inches, 16 inches and 24 inches diameter of cylinders, with a common stroke of piston of 24 inches. She has a double-ended boiler, with two furnaces in each end. She has two polemasts for a fore-and-aft canvas. She is armed with one six-pounder and two three-pounders of the rapid-firing type of guns. ——___ + e+ —____ Republican Spenkers. ‘The republican national speakers’ bureau at Chicago has been busily engaged in ar- ranging for speakers in=Ohio, where it is announced the fight is to be vigorously pushed for the remainder of the campaign.

They are the guests of Arch- bishop Corrigan, who, with Bishop Farley, Father J. N. Connoly, Father Fedigan, Frovincial of the Order of Augustinians in this country, will greet Archbishop Mar- tinelli on the pier of the Cunard line. If the archbishop arrives too late for the afternoon train for Washington he will stop over night at Archbishop Corrigan's house and come to Washington tomorrow rorning. There will be no ceremonial re- ception either on the Campania or during the brief stay of the archbishop in New Ycrk. He is like an ambassador sent from headquarters to another court. He is to make all reasonable speel to his destina- tion, and not stop by the way to take part in receptions cr ceremonies of any kini. His first duty is to report to Cardinal Satolli in Washington. Father Driscoll of the Order of St. Augustine, who has trav- eled with the archbishop from Rome, will Trobably accompany him te this city, Archbishop Martinelli is not a stranger in the United States. He spent several months here in 1803. He was first enter- tained by Archbishop Corrigan, and then went jo the headquarters of the Augus- tirians at Bryn Mawr, near Philadelphia. Sutsequently he visited the other houses of the order, which is not very strong in this country. He impressed all who met him as a learned, earnest, kindly man, deeply imbued with the spirit of the order and desircus of promoting its welfare by rational means. It 1s belleved he will not resign his posi- tion as head of the Augustinian order, but will nominate a deputy to exercise its powers and functions while he remains in_the United States. _There is a report that the new apostolic delegate carries with him the appointment of a successor to the late Bishop Ryan of Buffalo. Two names have been mentioned for this position—the Rev. Dr. Quigley, rec: tor of the Buffalo Cathedral, and the Rignt Rey. John M. Farley, vicar general and auxiliary bishop of New. York.

Decline of Wheat Expected to Attract Foreign Gold. VARIETY OF REPORTS AS 10 SUGAR Rumored Formation of a European Trust Denied. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, October 2.—Opening prices this morning were fractionally higher than those recorded at the close of yesterday's business, but subsequently yielded to pro- fessional selling. London again bought moderately, but the volume of local busi- ness was too small to exert a marked in- fluence on values. The decline in wheat was favorably construed, owing to its prob- able influence in stimulating a renewal of gold imports by increasing the export movement of grain. In a majority of the more active speculative {ssues manipula- tion was manifestly superior to routine de- velopments. St. Paul, for example, was opened at an advance and freely sold down to 72. At this price supporting orders were ap- parent, but only a fractional advance was necessary to demonstrate the superiority of the selling. A reaction of one per cent resulted from the marketing of a consid- erable supply of stock. Manhattan was advanced sharply, on the customary rumors of increasing earnings and the prospects of consolidation. Con- servative and usually reliable judges do not regard the latter contingency as a probability of the immediate future. A two ver cent advance was easily accom- plished, on a relatively small volume business, but sales for both accounts forced a reaction of 1 per cent. The decline was prevented from proceeding further by mod- erate purchases for the account of the manipulative Interest. The supply of borrowable stock would in- dicate the presence of = very small short interest in the market, but the facilities of- fered for delivering short rales fail to in- spire aggressiveness in that directioa. Sentiment ts perhaps a trifle more reaction- ary than heretofore, but only to the extent of profit-taking and the establishment of a safer level for increared purchases. An advance of % per cent in posted rates for foreign exchange was announced during | the morning, but this condition is generally regarded as being due to special and prob- ably not permanent causes. The conditions of the local money market were not ma- terially changed from yesterday. Sugar attracted considerable attention by reason of its continued indecision and the variety of reports circulated on the subject of trade conditions. The denial of the ru- mor relative to the creation of a strong European trust and the reopening of the Philadelphia refineries failed to encourage any considerable demand for the stock. Evidence of an internal conflict of opinion is not lacking, and pending more decided action, the trading in this property is likely to be contined largely to inside interests. The political phase of the speculative situation 1s likely to bezome a more pro- rounced factor in the market as the date of the election approaches. Opinion is di- vided as to the probable effect of this in- creasing influence. Dullness may be sub- ituted for a reaction should the forecas:s continue favorable to a sound money tri- umph, but the wisdom of a continued ad- vance is demonstrated from a_ political standpoint only. Conservative views, blend- wg finance and politics in due proportion, favor a reaction during the next fortnight, to be followed by another outburst of con- fidence immediately preceding the election. ‘This action, it is thought, ht influence the vote of those likely to vacillate between the two money standards until after the opening ef the polls.
