THE SULTAN IN DANGER.
Mohammedan Fanatics Getting Ready To
Assassinate the Turkish Ruler.

LONDON. June 22.-The Sultan Of Tur-
KEYS extravaganza In entertaining royal
visitors and the reckless manner in which
of late he has scattered money and jewels
among his favorites, male and female, have
at length evoked a protest, not from the
wretched officials and soldiers whose pay
has been curtailed or withheld 20 defray
the cost, but from dignitaries OF the Mo
hammedan religion who cannot well b.
hurried into sacks and thrown into the
BosphOrus The movement, in fact, look
ed so formidable that the Sultan, instead
Of asserting his insulted dignity, caused
an explanation 10 be conveyed 10 the dis
contented Ulomas and SOftas 10 the effect
that although he detested extravaganza
and hated Christian foreigners as much as
they did, he was compelled 10 spend the
money from motives Of state policy.
A soft answer did not turn away wrath.
The SOftas and Ulemas vehemently retOrt
ed that IL was the cursed modern policy OF
conciliating foreigners that had caused the
sufferings Of the faithful masses and bade
fair 10 ruin the country. Then these old
time fanatics resortcd TO the modern meth
od of holding a meeting and passing rcsolu-
tions calling for the rc-establishment OF the
ancient regime, which Is the Turkish Gu
phemism for assassinating the reigning
Sultan. Abdul Hamid is not yet ~ years
old, and does not want 10 die, so he has
placed triple guards all over his palace, and
has instituted an inquiry into a supposed
plot Several civil and military function
aries, who as likely as not may be perfectly
innocent, have been arrested, and will suf-
fer vicariously for the Ulemas and Sofas,
If the latter cannot be- reached.

Crosby, George Putnam, Captain Nelson
Smart and Captain Joseph Putnam are all
sick with the most yirulent form of the
disease. They are Quarantined in the pest
house, while there are many mild cases in
various parts of town.
Until Yesterday the people of the town,
knowing that any agitation Of the matter
would drive away their summer visitors,
laughed at the epidemic, but the appear
ance of 50 many new cases badly frightened
them. Physicians from the State Board
OF Health were summoned All schools,
churches aud club-roOms and other public
places were ordered closed Immediately
upon the coming Of the doctors. They
worked all last night vaccinating the peO-

RAISING THE BID.
The Louisiana Lottery Franchise Is Still
Hanging In the Balance.

New ORLEANS, June 22.-Contrary to ex-
pectation there was no vote yesterday on
the extension of the charter Of the Louis
lana Lottery, and the matter was held
over until Tuesday. On Monday Demo
cratic caucus will be held and an attempt
made TO reach some agreement in regard TO
the lottery question that will prevent the
split threatened in the Democratic ranks on
this issue The lottery men have always
favored this caucus idea, and when it was
proposed to-day by Mr.. Harris, an anti-lot-
terry Representative, they accepted the
proposition and postponed the vote until
the caucus could be held Senator Lott,
anti-lottery, chairman of the caucus, will
not call it, bnt it will be held without him.

fered to-day to advance at once sl,0OO,OOO
for levee work and another sl,00O,000 in
1892, although the charter of the company
does not expire until 1884, 1t is said that
the charge of bribery upon which Senator
Stamant was arrested was made by Gov
ernor Nichols himself, and that similar
charges will be made against other mem
bers who will vote for the lottery bill. II
looks now as though the lottery has the
requisite vote in the House-two-thirds-

SWINDLING A BANK.
LOTUS Did 1t by Cleverly Manipulating
Drafts.

CINCINNATI O., June 22-The German
National Bank has been cleverly swindled
out of Sl,949 by Joseph LOTUS, aided by
confederates. A few months ago LOTUS,
who represented himself to be worsted
goods manufacturer, asked to open an ac-
count with the bank He deposited 5000
and kept on depositing and checking out
small amounts from time TO time. On June
10 he deposited a 81 ,949 draft, drawn by
the Farmers National Bank, of Hender-
son, Ky, ON the American Bank, of New
York City.
LOTUS or some confederate had gone to
Kentucky and notified the bank there that
the original draft had been lost and a
duplicate was issued. Lotus had ar
ranged that all his deposits were secured.
The Cincinnati bank sent the original draft
to the New York bank, having received a
draft from Lexington, Ky, bank. The
American Exchange bank wrote back say
ing that the original was worthless as the
duplicate had been cashed.
LOTUS is missing, and it is believed that
other banks have been similarly swindled.

New York, June pa split occurred

Socialistic delegates withdrew and formed
new Central body, which will be known
as the Central Labor Federation. Antici-
pating this action, the conservatives passed
a resolution denying Socialists the right of
representation in the original organization;
The war of words thus aroused was loud
and vigorous. and for time it looked as
though the opposing factions would come to
blows. The Socialists were called igno-
rant foreigners, usurpers and nation wreck
ers. while they in turn called the conserva-
tives boodlers, scabs and professional poll,
ticians. Then the resolution passed and
the fire-eaters were put out.
