ODDS ON MCKINLEY.

Betting men have increased the
odds on Mckinley in order to coax the
popOcrats to put up little money, but
they have not succeeded. In one
place, much freqnented by politicians.
$4,000 has been posted tor several
days with instructions to bet it 8 to /
on McKinley's election, but up to this
morning none of it had been covered.
Several prominent silver men have
privately admitted that Maryland was
certain to go for Mckinley, notwith-
standing Senator Gorman's claim to
the contrary. Maryland republicans
have never admitted that there was a
doubt of their carrying the state this
year.
John r Mclean. who owns the Gin
clnnati Enquirer and a controlling in
terest in the Washington GasiiQht
Company, has been doing the "anPel''
act for the pOpOcratic National Com
mittee' and the quality of the gas now
being furnished the people of Wash
lng,on indicates that he intends to
made the gas consumers pay back the
money he has contributed to the popo-
Gratis.

AFTER MISSOURI.

Republicans as rule have not been
considering that the party have more
than lighting chance to carry Mis-
souri,, but recent news from their
state indicates that it will be carried
for Mckinley. For instance. a poll
has been made in one of the Congress
sional districts which was regarded as
reliably democratic, as it has been
represented in the House by a demo-
crat for years. The poll shows that
81 per cent of the entire vote of the
district have declared their intention
To vote the republican ticket in No
vember. With the same ratio of gain
throughout the state, the republicans
Will have an immense majority.
Mr. w. b. Thompson, Treasurer of
the republican Congressional Commit
tee, has just returned from Michigan.
de says, he hasn't the slightest doubt
that Mckinley will carry that state
and that the Congressional districts
are all right. the gold democrats alone
have strength enough in several of
them TO swing the balance of power to
ehe side of honest money. He saws
that practically the entire business in
terests of the state are taking an ac-
tive part in fighting the free coinage
of silver.

Mckinley and Hobart will to dead

buncembe, but is calm, serious
statement of facts, based upon full re-
ports from every Congressional dis
trict in the states named which are
now in the hands Of chairman Bah
cock, of the Republican Congressional
Committee Just compare this state
meRt with the claims put forward for
Bryan. the most modest of which in

will get fair idea of how hopeless the
popocratic campaign is
The latest of these claims was made
by Chairman Butler, OF the Populist
National Committee, and presents a
total of 232 electoral votes Now. de-
duct the electoral votes of Indiana
Butler very considerat ely comedies
that Illinois. Michigan, Iowa and Ohio

republican majority of more than 80
IN the next House, and there are
about 90 more districts in which re-

Taking the whole situation, il is con-

the neighDorhood of 90. That isn't as
big rs it is in the present House, but
IL is big enough 10 do business with.

"Details of the Massacre of the White
Men in Inyani.

S1tAs VI the Massacre OF the white
Men in Inyani.
LONDON, April 2-Sir Hercules Rob
inson, governor of Cape Colony, has
cabled to the government the details of
the massacre of white men in Inyani,
IN Mataheleland, including Messrs.
Handley, Cass and Buford.
Assistant Commissioner Graham was
murdered by the Matabeles at Inyani
on March %. A general attack upon
the Whites followed and they were en-
tireB outnumbered and almost over
wnelmed, being unable to make any
effective stand against the rush of the
native warriors.
They managed to get hold of a wagon
and with this they managed to effect a
retreat Of three miles. Their flight was
perceived and they were closely fol-
lowed the whole of the three miles
Some 300 Matabeles then surrounded
the wagon and put a stop to its pro-
gress, and the hard pressed whites were
brought to their last stand with moth
ing left them but to sell their lives as
dearly as they could They kept off
their foes as long as possible with their
firearms, and when the blacks closed
in upon them a fierce and desperate
hand to hand conflict ended it. Over
borne by superior numbers, six of the
whites were killed. Donovan, the only
survivor of the massacre, managed to
escape by hiding in the long grass,
creeping away undiscovered. Donovan
estimates that fully fifty of the Mata-
beles We're killed before the party of
white men were overpoWered.

Bastian testified at the Kuschmanl
inquest that he paid Kuschmann $40
the night of his death. He said Kusch-
mann rode a fractions horse, which
returned to the farm without the sad
die. He said he then went in search
of Kuschmann and found him lying
dead by the side of the road mile
away. On this testimony the coroner's
jury returned a verdict of accidental
death"
/ A local newspaper called public at
tention to the significant fact ignored
by the coroner's jury that kusch-
mann's overcoat had been found on the
road folded up, with marks of bloody
hands upon the back of it. Two dollars
was all the money found in the pock-
cts. although Bastian swore to pay
ing him S79 an hour before finding the
body.
The doctors examinat ton of Kusch-
mann's head after the inquest showed
the wounds had been inflicted with a
club instead of horses hoofs, as the
coroner's physician had concluded.
| When Bastian learned that he was
suspected OF murder. he told contra
dictory stories. His name was also con-
nected with the burning of Farmer
! McLaughlin's barn two nights before
| the robbery.

Settling His Anairs.

PHILADELPHIA, April I'll. II.
Holmes, the condemned murderer of
Pietzel. and the suspected murderer of
several others, sent for his attorney to
settle his affairs. particularly those re-
lating to the real estate had by him in
Chicago and Fort Worth. The titles
of several properties that were owned
or supposed to have been owned by
Holmes will be under a cloud unless
he straightens out several disputed
points. This he is now trying to do.
Holmes is to be hanged May II, but
he is in splendid spirits and prides
himself on his excellent appetite. Since
the day the death warrant was read to
him he has gained several pounds in
weight His lawyer refused to divulge
Holmes Instructions, but said that
Holmes had changed his mind as to the
disposal of his remains and arranged
entirely the plans which he communi-
Gated to his attorney.

Settling Up His AfTairs-A Strange
story.

ROCK ISLAND, Ills, April Hun
dreds of persons today visited the Bas-
tan farm, which is in possession OF
the sheriff. The finding of the decom-
posed body of John Louderbosh under
a pile of rubbish on the farm yesterday
strengthens the general belief that
Henry F. Bastian committed suicide on
March last, because he feared his
criminal record was about to be laid
bare.
The following is a list of laborers on
the farm who mysteriously disappeared
shortly after they were paid off and
discharged, who are believed to have
been slain by Bastian: Fred kusch-
mann. whose body was found month
ago by the road q mile from the Bas-
tan farm: .5ohn Louderbosh, whose re-
mains were uncovered yesterday, more
than a year after he had disappeared;
