Indianapolis. Ind. Aug. 27.-It can now
be positively stated that Senator Caffery
Of Louisiana will be the permanent chair
man of the coming national democratic
convention. Ex-Gov. Flower OF New York
is the latest for temporary chairman, and
he has been put down as the man.
Senator Villas boom for the head Of the
ticket has been broken by the announce
ment that Wisconsin, his own state. has
declared for Bragg, while Watterson's 5
chances have gone up considerably by
reason of the news from New York that
that state is taking a great interest in
the Kentuckan's boom. Carlisle is now
entirely out of the race. by his own de-
cree He has written declaring that he
cannot afford to accept the nomination.
for "it would not appear well, as he is
the man who has had control Of the is
suanee and sale of government bonds-a
vital question in the campaign"
Indiana will 20 into the convention
without a candidate, for the first time
in thirty years, and it now looks like
Bragg or Watterson.
The demand for tickets to the conven-
tion is enormous, and cannot be filed by
one-third. The stage Of TOmlinson hall
has been prepared for the convention. 1t
is built in the form of AN amphitheater,
and Will seat about 400 people. Capt.
Frank Miller of Indianapolis was to-day
appointed assistant sergeant-a t-at-arms by
Sergeant-at-Arms Kessler who will make
the remainder of his appointments known
by the end Of the week. The tickets are
now in the hands of Secretary Wilson,
and are beautiful works of art.
All of the hotels have been taxed to
their utmost to supply the demand, and
the convention promises to surpass all
expectations. Michigan, North Carolina,
Iowa and Arkansas applied for quarters,
| their combined delegations numbering ia.
Not one word has yet been heard from
| Senator Hill, and his presence is hardly
| expected.

TiIImRn's Candidate For the Senate
Doomed to Defeat.


Columbia. s. c.. Aug. I.-Of all tho
moves that have ever been made in a polit-
ical checker-board. the most striking have
been witnessed In South Carolina tonight.
Up to within the last hour. the first after
midnight, the official returns contained in
specials to the State. with one small coun-
" missing. could not show who would be
the winner in the senatorial primary. AT
1890 the missing link was gathered and the
result is that Evans has to enter second
race in which the conservative vote. quies-
cent In this contestant will come out and
his defeat by Judge Earle is deemed cer-
tain.
A total vote of over 1900, one of the
largest ever poled In the state, has been
accounted for in the complete returns
Evans gets 1891; Earle 90,9s3 and Dun
can $500. The combined vote of Duncan
and Earle is 30. .35l $50 more than Evans.
The vote in the second primary viii be
heavier. Duncans vote is almost certain
to go to Earle along with the heretofore
silent vote.
Evans seems to be very blue.
McSweeney is an easy winner for lieu
tenant governor. Mayfeld almost doubles
Robinson for superintendent of education.
Watts defeats Richbourg for adjutant gen.
eral by several thousand.
Ellerbee is Overwhelmingly nominated
for governor

mittee in charge of the meeting that Mad
ison Square Garden had not been secured
for the meeting. The committee had no
idea. when the meeting was decided upon.
that the public interest in it would be so
widespread, and Carnegie Hall, which
seats 2. 100 persons, was secured. They be-
lieved at the time that this hall would
meet all requirements, but it was not long
before they learned that they were mis-
taken. Application upon application for
tickets poured in upon them until they
reached the enormous total of 10000.

Constantinople, Dec. 80. The Rus
sian ambassado on Saturday act
ing AZ concert with the REPRESENTATIVES
Of treat Britain, France, Italy, Ger
many and Austria, had an audience OF
the sultan, Abdul Hamid, one of many
such interviews which have taken
/ place within the past year on the sub
sJecf, that of better admins tration of
the affairs of the Turkish empire The
~ sslan diplomat began by warning
tue sultan and the Turkish govern
ment that it the revenues ceded for
the payment of the Turkish debt were
touched the European control Of the
finances of the empire would become
inevitable. M. De! Nelidoff, the RUS
sian ambassador further informed the
sultan that the car guaranteed his
personal safety and engaged himself
to maintain the sultans supremacy in
the event of severe measures being
necessary upon the part of the powers.
SIhe sultan, however, remained OBJ
durate, refusing his consent to any
measure of control, financial or 9th
erWise, by the powers.
10 this the Russian ambassador re
Piled that the condition Of the Turk
lsh empire placed the throne and the
caliphate in imminent peril. Thereup-5
on Abdul Hamid remarked impre
": ~.
Il may be the last of the caliphs, but
will never become a second khediye.''
In addition to these warnings M. De
NeiidoH sent a note to the Turkish
government and to the palace, and the
most significance is attached to it in
diplomatic circles. He pointed out in
precise terms the necessity Of the sui
tan following the advice Of the powers.
warming them once more that the sui
B tans refusal to do so involves the
most disagreeable consequences.
Ehe ambassadors of the powers will
meet again in order to discuss the sit
uation and will reassemble II future
twice 8 week until they complete
their recommendation to the sultan
and his advisers. Il .
The ENJOYS, acting together, will
henceforth maintain the strictest Sc
crecy regarding their. deliberations and
the action taken or contemplated, and
Will not even inform the ENJOYS of the
other powers of the decisions reached.
These latest steps upon the part Of
the powers are, once again, reported
to have produced profound impression
at the kiosk, and IN pursuance of the
issuing Of the amnesty decree Ar
menian prisoners in Asia Minor and
this city and vicinity are being re-
leased daily in patches of fifteen.
