Louisville People are Wondering
What VIII Happen Next.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 26-There
has been an air of uneasiness about
the city today because of the impeach-
ment of the old board of public safety
and the consequent Generalization Of
the police force. which the reigning
powers are determined to capture.
There was cutting affair this after
noon, in which two eX-detectives, VIII
liam De Forester, a witness for the
prosecution, and Tom Connel, a wit
ness for the defense. figured, and to-
night Colonel John B. Castleman, COM
handing the Louisville legion, first
regiment Kentucky state guard, order
ed infantry companies A and B and
a datail from battery A, Is men in all,
to report at the armory to guard it
for the night. Captain David Castle
man. who is in charge. declines TO
state what his orders are.
Tonight at Frankfort, Appellate
Judge Hazelring was ready to hear
argument on the motion of the old
board of safety to reinstate Judge
Toney's injunction, but the attorneys
agreed to postpone the matter until
morning.
Nearly every member of the police
force, including all captains and Of
ficers. refused to recognize the new
chief of police. The five station houses
were guarded throughout the day by
squads of police who were instructed
to hold them at all hazards. The Of
f1cers of the old board of safety and
the chief of police were under a like
guard, but the new chief remained in
the mayors office and made no at
tempt to take possession.
The negro element is very much ex-
cited over the prospect of g, new police
force and fire department and as all
are Republicans, a mass meeting has
been called for tomorrow night when
they will demand their share of the

THE LATE SULTAN.
BELIEF Is GROWING THAT HE WAS
POISONED.
An UItimatum Sent to Said KaIid-
Must Strike His Flag or Be Bonn
barded.

ZANZIBAR, Aug. 26.-The belief is
quite general here that the death of the
late sultan was caused by poison. This
evening an ultirlatuan was sent to Said
Kalid, informing him that unless he
strikes his flag and makes a. complete
surrender by 8 o'clock tomorrow the
palace will be bombarded. All of the
British residents of the town have been
requested to go on board the warships
lying in the harbor by o'clock tomor-
row morning. The force under Said
Kalid numbers $500 men, all well
armed.
The concensus OF opinion is that the
action of Said Kalid has furnished a
favorable occasion for the hosting of
the British flag and the abolition of
Arab rule and slavery.

HAS MANDAMUsED THEM.
The Question of the Election Of City JUS
tees to Be Opened Up.


The action of the board Of supervisors
in refusing to include the names of
Grove s. Bartholomew and Charles o.
Morgan in the election proclamation, as
candidates for the offices of justices Of
the peace, has brought upon them a nest
of legal hornets.
Both of the gentlemen yesterday made
application in the courts, and Judge Van
Dyke ordered that an alternative writ
Of mandate issue, returnable on the 18th.
when the question whether justices of
the peace are included in the approach
ing election or not will be decided.
While Bartholomew made his applica.
tion against the board of supervisors.
Morgan filed his against c ounty Clerk
Newlin so that the responsibility may be
fixed in any case.
The allegations are set forth that the
office of justice o. the peace in this city
is an office which is to be filled at the
general election to be held in November,
and that two justices are to be then cleo
ted; that Los Angeles is a city of more
than 34.000 inhabitants and less than100,-
900; that the Democratic convention
held on September IA, 1896, consisted OF
a regularly organized assemblage of del
egates representing the Democratic
party; that at the election next preced-
ing said 14th of September, the Demo-
cratic party polled at least three per cent
of the entire vote of the city and of the
districts subsequently annexed: ttIst
said convention nominated afhants for
the Office of justice of the peace.
Copies of the certificates of nomina-
ton. signed by Isidor B. Dockweiler as
chairman and j. w. Clancy as secretary
are appended and then the affidavit goes
on to show that the certificates were
filed with the county clerk and that all
the necessary forms of law had been
complied with.
