the county, on account of his dealings with
them in the last twenty-five years. made
the remark that he would give so for every
.straight-out Republican in the county who
would vote for Bryan. This remark was
not made in a dark corner. but on the street
in the presence of several men. who
claimed his ten-doIlar bills. The challen-
gers began naming their free-silver Re-
publicans. The first one that was named
happened to be an old farmer with several
sons. The report had gained currency
through Democratic sources hat all of
them would vote fer Bryan. Mr. NoriS in
formed the claimant for the SO that he had
seen this man within three days, and that
he had most emphatically denied the re-
port of his straying from the party. This
statement of Mr.. NoriS was backed up by
others to whom the denial had been made.
Another man claimed SO for a farmer who
lived in the extreme southeast part of the
county. 1t happened that this man had
voted the Republican ticket ten years ago,
but since that time had been an ardent
P0pulist. nus the challengerS were dis
posed of, Mr.. Voris recalling the exact con-
diticn of each farmer named. Most Of
them who had been claimed by the Dem
OcratS as Republican free-silver men,
proved to be men who at one time in the
dim and distant past had voted the Re
who had not voted it for so long that they
had been classed as Populists or Democrats
for many years. Others were found to be
true-blue Republicans doing all in their
power for the Republican ticket. Mr.. Noris

a S ACT OF GERMANS
THE ZANZIBAR CSURPER CARRIED
AWAY ON A WAR VESSEL.
No Attention Paid to British Protests
SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS Possible
Other Foreign News.

Copyright, 1896, by the Associated Press.)
ZANZIBAR, Oct. Am incident of great
political Importance occurred here to-day,
resulting in decidedly strained relations be-
tween the British and German officials
ashore, and which may lead to interra-
tional complications of a serious nature.
After the bombardment of the palace of
Zanzibar by the British gunboats Sparrow,
Thrush and Raccoon, Seyyid khalid, who
proclaimed himself Sultan on Aug. % after
the sudden death of Seyyid Hamid Bin
Thwain Bin Said. sought refuge at the
German consulate. A demand was made
by the British authorities for his surrender,
but the German consul, acting on the in
structions received from his government
refused to place the fugitive in the hands
OF the British. This caused considerable
irritation and has been, the cause of diplo-
matte correspondence between Great
Britain and Germany. The situation took
a new turn to-day. An unusually high tide
prevailed, and while IL was touching the
wall of the German consulate Khalid was
placed under an escort of armed German
sailors on board the German cruiser Seead-
Ter for conveyance, it is believed. to one
of the German colonies. The British con-
sui here, Mr.. Basil Cave, in charge of the
British agency in the absence of A. Fl.
Hardinge, the British agent and consul
general, who has been to England to con-
suit with the home government regarding
the administration of Zanzibar, was not
notified of the removal of Khalid to the
German war ship until after the usurper
was safe on board the Seeadler. But so
soon as he became aware of the action of
the German authorities Mr.. Cave lodged u
vigorous protest at the German consulate
against the embarkation of Khalid, es-
pecially pointing out that the question of
his surrender to the British authorities was
still under discussion by the governments
of Great Britain and Germany. Later Mr..
Cave cabled d report of the circumstances
to his government and is now awaiting in
structions from London. Viewed in the
most conservative light, the incident is re-
garded as being an act of studied dis
courtesy on the part of the German rep
resentativeS toward the representatives of
Great Britain. and ircan hardly fail to call
for serious DIPLOMATIC. REPRESENTATIONS.

THE suLTAN.s PROMISES.
Abdul Hamid viii Abide by All the
edo i'm the Berlin Treaty.

PARIS, Oct. 2.-Des. Debats contains an
account of an interview had by a French
man with the Sultan at C~onstantinoDle on
Sunday in which the latter declared that
any civil or military officer convicted of
failing to do his duty during the recent
massacres in Constantinople would be pun
ished. The Sultan is reported to have adj
ded that the government would endeavor
to introduce reforms g~radually and that
he would abide by all the pledges con-
tanned in the treaty of Berlin. although
certain clauses in that treaty favorable to
Turkey had purposely been forgotten. The
people of EUrope. the Sultan pointed out,
were too apt to forget the material difficult
ties hindering the effects of his good will.
His Asiatic empire. he added. contained
two provinces which were alone equal in
size TO France and several of the distant
vilayets had scarcely any roads or tele-
graphs. The different idioms and indosyn-
crasies of each race in the empire had to
be considered. The Sultan strongly en-
phasized his desire that there should be a
great Improvement in the government and
in the empire. and he urged that if prog
ress were slow 1t was due to the Ar
menians having caused trouble.

ing the morning of Tuesdav last, in order
to attack the insurgents under Antonio
Maceo. The Hernandez column, proceed
ing in the direction of Tumbas de Torino,
after an hours march, engaged Maceo's
forces and dislodGed them from their posi-
tons. Continuing the advance, Colonel Her.
nandez. at 1:30 p. m, again met the enemy.
BY this time the insurgents had concen-
trated their forces and d severe fight,
which lasted until night, began. The Span
ish troops advanced foot by foot ard again
d%islodged the insurgents. The operations
were conducted during a heavy downpour
of rain, which considerably hindered the
advance The troops pushed forward on the
following morning and were met by four
cannon shots at short range from an in
Surgent position. The insurgents We're again
driven and troops canped III the
enemy'S position. but left them later in
order to carry back the wounded and Sc
cure provisions and ammunition. The coll

Poor Attendance at polls

Watkins mt Home.
The indianapolis baseball team returned
from Minneapolis yesterday. Many of the
players have already gone to their homes.
but there are still enough of them TO play
with Cincinnati tomorrow in that city.

pied condition of the team. but that it will
put up a good game. 1t will give the Gin
cinnati people u chance to judge the quail
tiles of Damon and Davis, which they are
anxious to do.
Manager Watkins was not very we'll
pleased with the cup series. The attend
ance in Minneapolis was very light. only
about $500 people seeing the three games.
while here nearly 5000 saw three games.
This cut the shares of the players down
considerably. The Indianapolis men re-
ceived about $50 each and the Minneapolis
men received about SO from the entire Sc
rieS.
In speaking of the games at Minneapolis
Mr.. Watkins explained some of the points
which were not fully stated in the tele-
graphic reports. 1t was the crippled con-
dition of the team that caused the loss of
the series, he says. In the first game.
three runs which they could not possibly
have made with the regular Indianapolis
team against them. Three men We're on
bases. and on account of certain conditions
and the loss of men Roat had to be played
In left field and Mccarthy in center. This
was because Damon was pitching, and
most OF the hits made off him go to center
or right Held. Roat had arranged for Nc
Carthy to run to him when a ball went
in left. and then Roat would throw it TO
Mccarthy apd let him field it in. With

three men on bases, there was a hard hit
bali between Roat and Mccarthy. They
both ran for it. Roat staying behind TO
give the first chance to field it III. The
runners could not tell whether the ball
would fall safe. and had to remain on
bases until it had reached the field. Mel
Their fielder could reach it, and just as
Mccarthy stopped to pick it off the ground
II bounded over his head. Roat stopped 1t
and quickly tossed it to Mccarthy. but ne
was going so fast that he could not recov-
er himself in time TO turn and get the pan,
the result being that it rolled TO the renee
and all the runners. including the patter,
reached the plate, making four runs on
that hit. Had the team not been crippled
so Mccarthy could have played in his usual
place this woul not have happened. only
one run would have been scored on the
hit. and the next ball was a mig ny;
which was easily pulled down. This would
have made the score 6 to 4 in favor OF In
~dianapolis.
One of the other games was lost by
causes very similar. This is given merely
to show what the loss of a man may do to
a club. In this case the loss of a telder
necessitated changing Mccarthy, and this
move lost the game.
Many of the players have already left
the city. Cross has gone to Manchester
n. H. Phillips to Allentown, Pa, Hogan
to YOUNGSTOWN. o.. Buckley to Chicago.
Knepper to Bunker Hill, Ind, Kellum to
Cleveland. Williams to Anderson and Roat
to Oregon. III. Mccarthy and Hogrlever
will remain here during the winter.

AN ALLEGED DEAL
Whereby Indianapolis and MinneapO-
Lis VIII Enter the Biz Learue.

lis Will Enter the Big league.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PITTSBURG, Oct. p Sy accident to-
night, what looks to be a scheme on the
part of the National League was brought
out. The plan is, according to the best
authority. the transfer OF the Minneapolis
and Indianapolis Western League clubs
into the National League, to take the
places of ST. Louis and Cleveland. It is
also said by one who knows that arrange
ments have almost been closed, and that
the announcement Awill be made at the Ma
tional League meeting. Won der Abe fig
ures that he can make as much money out
of his racing park and his bars at the
is said to be not averse to accepting the
terms offered him by the National League
for a transfer into the Western League.
Frank DeHass Robson. of the Cleveland
club, is both willing and anxious to make
the transfer, and one of the two minor
league clubs will take the Cleveland
grounds. The Cleveland club has not been
a paying investment for the club people
at home, while st. Louis has been much of
a frost to all save Won der Abe. who has
managed to pull out much ahead of the
game owing to his side shows. The pre-
mature prominence given the proposed deal
last winter whereby Cleveland was to
transfer her franchise to Detroit caused a
stoppagc in plans. and it has made the
mdgnates wary. 1t is now given out that
the consent of all the magnates has been
secured to the proposed shift.

He Was Not Prepared Last Night to
Discuss the Alleged Deal.

Newspapers in other cities yesterday con-
tanned some startling news about the West
ern League bail managers. 1t was on a
line with what was printed in yesterdays
Journal. but went further. The principal
statements are traceable directly to Ban
Johnson. president of the League, and base
ball writer for the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune. That paper charged that John /.
Brush had prepared a scheme to wreck the
Western League and that the proposed
withdrawal of the indianapolis and Mime
apolis clubs was the first part of the pro-
gramme TO be carried out. 1t did not out
line the full scheme" but left the i'm
preston that it was deeply laid and was
arranged for financial gain for Mr.. Brush.
1t did not intimate that such a thing as
the desire TO get rid of such an unfair
president as Ban Johnson might be at the
bottom of the matter. Mr.. Brush was
asked last night what explanation he had
to offer. but declined to say anything for
publication at present.
