A Raid Resulting In "a Death and the
Capture of $4,000.

LAGRANDE, Ore, October 2--The First

German Discourtesy to the British at
Zanzibar.
fOOKFUGITIVEUS EUSURPER ON SHIPBOARD
Protest of the Consul Against the
Action.
AN IMPORTANT INCIDENT

ZANZIBAR, October 2.-An incident o.
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
ternatioraI complications of a serious ma
ture.
After the bombardment of the Palace of
Zanzibar by the British gunboats Sparrow,
Thrush and Raccoon Seyyid Khahd, who
had proclaimed himself sultan, August y,
after the sudden death of the sultan, sought
refuge at the German consulate.
A demand was made by the British au-
thorities for his surrender, but the German
consul, cting upon instructions received
from his government. refused to place the
fugitive in the hands of the British. This
caused considerable diplomatic cores
pondence between Great Britain and Ger
many.
The situation took a new turn this morn
irg. An unusually high tide prevailed, and
while il as touching the wall of the Ger
man consulate, Khalid was placed undeE'
an escort of armed German sailors on
board the German cruiser Seadler for con-
yeyance. it is believed, to one of the Ger
ran colonies.
The British consul here. Mr.. Basil Cave,
in charge of the British agency during the
absence of Mr.. A. H. Hardinge the British
agent and consul general, who has been to
England TO consult with the home govern
ment regarding the administration of Zan-
lib IT. was not notified of the removal of
kahlid to the German warship until after
the usurper was safe on board the Sea,ller.
But. so soon he became aware of the
action of the German authorities. MIR. Cave
lodged 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
many Later Mr.. Cave cabled report OF
the circumstances to his government. and
is now awaiting instructions from London.
Viewed in the most conservative light
the incident is regarded being act
of studied discourtesy upon the part oi
the German representatives toward the
representatives of Great Britain. and it car
hardly fail to call for serious diplomatic
representa- tionS.

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 Merton Cricket Club,
Haverford.
There has been further change in the
makeup of the home eleven since their
match at Belmont. which was finished on
Monday. F. w. Ralston, probably the best
wicket-keeper in the country, has been
forced off the team because of sore hands
being replaced by II. III. Brown, and F. H.
Bohlen, a very careful batsman, who has
refused to take part in any more of the
big matches. is substituted by p. H. Clark.
The latter. in addition to being a fine field
er, is one of the best swift bowlers in this
city, and will strengthen the Philadel-
phians in this respect. There has been no
change in the visitors eleven.
The day was not an ideal one for cricket
being cold and raw. The wicket is splen-
did one, and fast. so that another large
score by the visitors is looked for. The
teams are as follows:
Austraians-kelly, Giffen. Trumble, Cap
tain Trott. Jones. McKibbin, Darling, Ire
dale, Gregory, DOnnan, Hill.
lphia-Captain Patterson, H. H.
Brown, II. l. Brown, Baily. Coates, Noble,
E. w. Clark, jr., King, Wood, Lester, P.
II. Clark.
For the third successive time Captain
Trott of Australia won the toss, and sent
his men to bat, 1redale and Darling being
the first to defend the wickets. Play began
al 12:10 pm.
Darling was caught oy Coates Off r. H.
Clark. Score. p, l, IL. Giffen next.
1redale was bowled by King. Score, Sc. 2,
II. Hill next. g.
Hill, the mighty batter, was retired before
he was able to break his duck" p II.
Clark clean bowled him. Score a. 3, o.
Gregory was the next man.
The hand of Captain Patterson of Phila-
delphia was split by hard drive and Eid-
die, the substitute man, took his place. The
fourth wicket fell at 1:25 pm. when Giffen
was caught by Biddle off P. II. Clark
Score, 10, /, 10. DOnnan Joined Gregory.
At 30 o'clock, when play was stopped fol-
lunch, the Australians had made ninety
runs for the loss of four wickets. Of this
number Gregory, not out, had made sixteen
and Donnan, not out, thirteen. Extras

BETTING ON THE ELECTION
Ex-Gov Kellogg Thinks Bryan Will Garry
Nebraska and Kansas,
Mckinley the FavOrlte ON the Cen
Two and a Half to One.

The betting on the election is 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-
ous bets. At Shoomaker'S there has been
no betting as yet on the results in vari-
Gus 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, as well as several individual
states. The odds given here are two to
one on Mckinley and even money in the
states regarded doubtful. One gen.
tleman made a bet last week of $40 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
kan this morning, when Col. e. w. Ayers
and Mr.. ]. T. Bivins wagered hundred
dollars edcn On the result III "eSl II
gina, Col. Ayers taking the Bryan end OF
ii. The confidence of Mr.. Bivlns on NC
Kinley's chances in West Virginia is re
garded as significant. because Mr. BlVlns
is the private secretary to Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue Miller, who is, as well
known. che of the most prominent OF west
Virginia democrats. and besides this mas
probably a wider acquaintance in the state
than any other permanent resident OF
Washington and he is not believed TO De

MATCH GIRLS STRIKE.
They RebeIIed Against Compulsory
Dentistry.

NEW YORK, October Girls to the
number of f25 employed in the Continental
match factory in Passaic, n. j., have gone
on strike. Their primary grievance is that
the corporation requires that they submit
TO periodical examinations of their teeth
and have such dentistry performed as may
be found necessary.
In q idition, the strikers allcge that they
are set to do 'Stints'' beyond their capacity
The dentistry order of the company is based
upon the fact that phosphorus, largely led
in match making, will cause necrosis in
cases where the teeth are defective, and
court decision not long ago held an en-
ployer liable for the injury to an operative
in such case.
