Mckinley IN IOWA.
Representative Hull Says He Win
Get u Big Majority.

Representative Hull Says He WiIl
Get u Big Majority.
Representative Hull of Iowa, one Of the
members of the executive committee at
headquarters, said today 10 a Star reporter
that he thought he would have to raise his
figures as to the majority which Mckinley
would get in that state. He said he had re-
ceived many letters from the state in the
last few days, leaving no doubt as to how
the state would go. One of these was from
Capt. James l.. Lorir g, editor of a paper
in Dallas county, which is in Mr. Hulrs
district. Referring to the situation in that
county and elsewhere, the letter says:
The silver men claim to have list of
40 Sugar Grove Township silver republi-
cans. At meeting Saturday night in Min
burn, that township, 113 names went on the
Mckinley and Hobart Club roll. Theory
and fact, claiming and getting, don't ap-
pear to gibe, as the republican vote of Su-
gar Grove last year was Ill. The pull
seems to be the other way, and that is the
way it is panning out all through Iowa.
Silver is an irridescent dream. l see by
the Register you say the battle ground will
be in Iowa. Illinois and Indiana. If there
is any battle in Iowa it will be jus-han-
die affair-all on one side. There is a devil
of a lot of noise, but it is like Dakota
tlizzard-all wind

ZANZIBAR, August 27.-The palace of
the Sultan of Zanzibar was bombarded this
morning, and at noon was a mass of blaZ-
Ing ruins The usurping chieftain, Said
Khalid. and the commander of his forces.
Said Sales. succeeded in escaping to the
German consulate, where they have sought
refuge. and remain under the protection of
the German flag.
As cabled exclusively to the Associated
Press. Rear Admiral Henry Rawson c. B.
in command of the British Cape of Good
Hope and west coast of Africa station and
the British consul general Mr.. A H. Har-
dinge. c. B., after holding conference
yesterday, communicated by cable to the
government of Great Britain an outline of
the situation of affairs here setting forth
that Said Khaiid, who seized the palace and
proclaimed himself sultan on the death
apparently by poison, of Sultan Hamed
Bin Thwain Bin Said. had been strongly
reinforced, and positively refused to sur
render Said khalid had with him at that
time about 900 well-armed and well-dis-
ciplined men, including 900 Askaris, who
have been trained under British officers:

morning. AT the same time the British
residents of Zanzibar were notified to be
on board Admiral Rawsons ships by S
o'clock.
During the past night there were a num-
ber OF disturbances among the natives in
the outskirts of the town, but they were
promptly suppressed by the 800 British
marines and sailors, who had been landed
TO protect property and guard the consult
ate of Great Britain. 1t is understood, how
ever. that Said Khalid received further re-
Inducements from the slave dealers, who
fiocked TO his support, as the formal hoist

mean the liberation of about 2Je, 900 slaves
and deathblow to slavery in this part
of East Africa

ing about 100 persons, and a number of
other foreigners had embarked On board
the warships, the Italians going on board

sulate.
Shortly before o'clock a naval officer
was sent to the palace square with another
message for Said khalid, asking him if he
was prepared to surrender in accordance
with the terms of the ultimatum. and again
notifying him that the palace in which he
had barricaded himself would be bo.n-
barded promptly at o'clock if he failed to
haul down his flag before that time
As before. Said replied that he would
sooner die than surrender. His answer was
conveyed to Admiral Rawson and the Brit

ships. which had been prepared for action

LEXINGTON RAPID TRANSIT
Within Three Weeks Compressed Air Caro-
May Run.
Active Work Being Done on the In
stallatiOn of the Power
Plant.

Unless something entirely unforeseen oc-
ours to cause the present arrangements Of
the lexington and Soldiers Home Railway
Company to miscarry, cars operated by
compressed air will be running on the New
York avenue division of their system
within three weeks. The work of INSTALL
ing the plant necessary to operate the va
rious lines of the company, all Of which
are to be equipped with compressed air cars
in the near future, is being pushed ahead
as rapidly as possible, and inside Of two
weeks the machinery necessary to COM
press the air for the motive power will be
ready. it is expected, to put in opration.
The compressing plant, which will be
located Oh the east side of the present
power house, at lexington, and immedi-
ately alongside Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad tracks, will comprise 3O0-horse
power Corlss compound condensing en-
gine, large boilers, and what is termed a
3-stage compressor direct, connected and
capable of compressing to a pressure of
2,GO0 pounds to the square inch, though
the receivers on the cars have been made
to withstand a pressure of nearly 5000
pounds to the square inch.
Active Work Being Done.
The engine and compressor are expected
daily to arrive from Norwalk, Conn. and
the templets, huge bolts and other ma
chinery necessary to make them perform
their parts are already on the ground. The
well from which the water for the boilers
is to be supplied has already reached a
depth of $50 feet, and in the course of a
day or two will, it is calculated. have been
driven to the depth Of 225 feet, when the
work of boring will be stopped. and the
foundations for the ponderous machinery,
which are nearly ready, will be pushed to
completion.
