BERLIN, Oct. 4-[Copyrighted 1896.
by the United Associated Presses. J.
The action of the Berlin Tageblatt in
contracting with the United Associated
Presses for the special American ser
vice of that organization, which is now
being delivered daily to a large num-
Der of European journals, is significant
of the intensity of the interest which
is taken on the continent in the politi-
cal prospect in the United States The
hourse, which is among those occupied
in watching the progress of the cam
paign in America, is looking forward
eagerly to more definite indications of
the outcome of the election than esti-
mates and boasts of the rival political
parties have hitherto supplied The
commercial community, despite their
antipathy to the tariff views held by
Mr.. Mckinley, are hoping for the tri-
umph Of the sound money or gold
party, while the agrarians, on the
other hand, regard Candidate Bryan as
A SORT OF SAVIOR
and rejoice in the utterances of Prince
Bismarck in his recent Letter to Gov
ernor Culberson, of Texas, which they
believe must have a tendency to ma
terially influence the situation. The

ISOLATED presses learns that the Ger
man government fully expects that the

thereof.
There is a growing disposition here
to regard the solution of the Turkish

future has vanished

In the latter part Of October, 1895, q
! mob of 200 of the 'guild-haberers," as
they call themselves, all of them with
blacAzened faces and otherwise dis
guised, met in an open field opposite
the railway station in Sauerlack one
Sunday and held a meeting, ait which
they elected officers and a new 'ha-
berer-konig," or court. Some sarcastic
individual present asked the station
master if he thought he had not better
telegraph for assistance to drive the
crowd away. The station master
thought the suggestion a good one, and
endeavored to put it in force, but found
that the telegraph wires had been tam
pered with SO that communication with
the other stations was completely cut
off. The meeting finally broke up and
the crowd scattered. The next night
800 "habeTers" assembled and held a
grand court in Steinhoring, short dis
lance away. The assistant forester at
Hafolding and the postmaster at Sauer-
ZACH were designated as culprits and
posse was sent TO take them before the
court. The condemned men were
dragged from their beds and brought
before their s'elf-constituted judges,
who read a long Indictment to them,
reciting their sins. In the meantime
the presence of the ''haberers'' had be-
come known far and wide, and the in
habitants of the outlying villages arose
from their beds and FASTENED in the di-
rection of the scene, but they were
AWED BY THE MOB.
The gendarmes, in the district were
totally unaw of the meeting, and not
a, single "haberer' was ever identified.
The authorities, with the intention of
furnishing the inhabitants of the viii
lagos invaded by the mob, for their
cowardice, quartered a company of
soldiers among them, whom they had
to support for the next six weeks. The
authorities tried in every way to get
the ringIeaders of the "haberers" into
their clutches, but their victims feared
to inform upon them and they were
consequently never apprehended- Now
they have been brought up with
sound turn, and it is safe to assume
that they will be severely dealt with

BERLIN, Oct 4.-The Lokal Anzci-
Won Sauerma Jeltsch, the German
ambassador to Turkey, anent the sit
uation in that country. The ambas-
sador says he does not think that the
recent horrors will be. soon renewed.
The Turks have been somewhat fright
ened by their own acts, and the de-
cided attitude of the powers has Gained
the hot heads.
Continuing, Baron Won Sauerma
Jeltsch declares that the demands of
the Armenians are unjustifiahle and
impracticable. They have great free
dom i'll religion and trade. and ave
very prosperous. The unscrupulous
manner of trading has stirred up much
bad blood between the conservatives
and the Turks. They have no regard
for anything or anybody. They have
plundered Turkey for centuries. and
are usurers and dishonest dealers. The
Turks were only wrong in their man
ner of crushing the rebellion, that is,
in not distinguishing the innocent from
the guilty. In reality, there was only
one revolutionist among a thousand
Armenians. The leaders of the re-
VOTERS were mainly ambitious stu
dents.
Among the victims who were killed
in August scarcely 10 per cent were
guilty. Turkey sees in what direction
such massacres lead. Constantinople
is now in serious economic crisis.
Baron Won Sauerma Jeltsch con-
cludes by declaring that he has
strongly warned the sultan that such
q state Of affairs as he sets forth in
the interview cannot continue, and
that he must be careful to strike O71l1y
those who are guilty of plotting
against him.

GREAT TRIBUTE TO Hill.
Strong and Probably Successful
Fight For Their Employer.

POUGHKEEPSIE N. Y, Oct. g.
Two hundred factory girls have made
possible the nomination of their en-
p1oyer for mayor of this city. The
hottest ante-election contest that has
ever taken place in the Republican
party IN this city has been in progress
for a fortnight, and yesterday in pri-
maries in all the wards elected dele
gates to the city convention which
dominates a mayor on next Tuesday.
The candidates were ]. Frank Hull.
president of the Duchess Manufactur-
ing company, and former County
Treasurer Sheriff. Several days ago
it looked as if Sheriff. had the call
in the primaries, and Mr.. Hull at once
assembled his employees at the fac.
tory and solicited their support. The
girls, 200 in number, with whom Mr..
Hull is very popular, responded at
once to his call, and they began the
most novel political canvass ever seen
in this city.
The factory girls secured the city
for votes for Mr. Hull Fathers,
brothers and sweethearts were button
holed and persuaded to vote for Mr..
Hull. The efforts of the girls saved
the day, and Hull carried four of the
seven wards, winning twenty dele
gates against SherrilPs fifteen. Be
hind the contest was a struggle be-
tween State Committeeman L. H. Vail
and Robert P. Hunter for control Of
the local machine, and Mr. Vail won.

was soon directing the exit of the
boys. The building burned like finder
and despite the good work of Mr..
Jeter. fatalities resulted.
Many of the students had their hair
singed and were burned about the
hands and face, but those named above
are the most seriously hurt.
One of the boys who was burned to
death was a cripple and the other three
were in rooms in which there were no
windows. Their means and groans
were heart sickening. The academy
was built by the Choctaw nation, and
is a total loss as the ration did not
carry any insurance.

partly for recreation, but mainly in con-

Venezuelan matter In this connection
Mr.. Coudert said:
L see by the newspapers that they have
completely settled the Venezuelan compli-
cations, and / know every man on the
commission would be satisfied if they
had been arranged in a manner satisfac-
tory TO all the parties, but / regret to say
such is not the case.

and has spent two or three months in
Holland. He is a fine scholar and has
procured the history of the whole mat
ter. Pretty nearly every document that
exists on the subject he has seen and
studied thoroughly. He has also ex-
amined the records in England. Every
facility has been placed at the professors
command. He has probably concluded,

THE SUBMARINE FIGHTER
VIII Play an Important Part in Flu
ture Naval Warfare.

The attention that is being given the
subject of submarine boats in naval war
fare and the development of naval archi-
lecture and machinery seems to justify
the belief that the submarine fighter is
to be an important factor in the set
Element of future naval differences.
The Holland Torpedo Boat Company is
making strides toward the perfection of
a submarine boat. which it believes will
play an important part in the new navy. 1t
is apparent that in case of war with anv
strong naval power our entire force of bat
tie and coast defense ships would have to
be concentrated for the defense of the
objective, presumably New York:
that all other ports would have to relv
upon what coast defenses they had or could
improvise, and that it would even be ne
cessary to uncover New York by our ships
whenever the chances of war presented a
reasonable hope of successfully striking
the enemy's fleet. What this country needs
then, more imperatively than does any
other naval power, is an efficient, quick
ly available, and an inexpensive means
of preventing hostile ships from coming
within bombarding range of our ports
while our battleships are doing the decisive
work against naval enemy-finding and
defeating his fleet in other words, a means
for holding line of defense from I'VE to
ten miles off shore.
Shore works could not hold such line
with their gun fire, torpedo mines could
not be planted of2 such line: dirigible
torpedoes cannot reach such line, nor

final is somewhat Disappointing. But the

The story bring politics right up to date.
One can almost imagine that traits of

Towards the first there is an impression
on the mind OF the listener that the Sen

prominent and well known leader of the

later on. Senator Beck is an ideal poll
tician; one of the kind that we like to pic
ture to the minds eye but seldom have
pictured upon the physical retina.
The Cuban measure, upon which the
political part of the play hinges, permits
of the dialogue being brought up to the
present in a manner that measures the
sympathy of the audience with the strug-
gle for independence that is now going on
in the island. There can be no doubt, from

sAvANNAHs HARBOR PROTECTION.
Fort PuIaski's Mining Casemate and
Torpedo System.

The Savannah harbor, in time of war
with the completion of the proposed forti-
fications on Tybee Island, the use of sub
marine boats and torpedoes and mines
would be well nigh impenetrable to foreign
ships.
Fort Pulaski which commands the en-
trance to the river, while it would hardly
avail much as a permanent fertilization
would afford temporary protection. The
recently-built mining casemate, connect
ing the fort with a system of harbor tor
pedoes and mines, could be put into opera
ton at once, and would make the entrance
TO the river and the roads impossible for
war vessels.
The mining casemate is between the
fort and the demilune work on the west
side and is constructed of heavy masonry
and surrounded with earth works. Few
people, comparatively, know what a min
ing caSemate is or what ii is for. 1t is
to the eye very simple affair, consisting
of a bomb-proof chamber, about Is by IS
feet, containing the electrical apparatus
for discharging mines, or stationary tor
pedoes, placed at the entrance of a. harbor
to protect 1t from invasion by hostile
fleets. Torpedoes that are not placed in
mines but are operated by wire from
shore, are known as torpedoes proper,
while those placed or anchored in known
positions in harbor or river channel are
known as mines. These mines are operated
from a bomb-proof structure on
shore. every individual torpedo and
groups being electrically connected by
wire with this chamber, where the oper-
ators are stationed with charts, etc, re-
ceiving Instructions from the command
ing officer by telephone.
All these mines are numbered and should
a vessel or other object come in contact
with one the fact is instantly commune
Gated to the operator in the chamber,
who exploGes it, disconnects it, or carries
out any other order of the commanding
officer.
The construction of a chamber is mat
ter of detail, the primary object being to
make 1t entirely BON b-proof. In a low
marshy country, for Instance, the entrance
to Savannah harbor the chamber would
probably be constructed of concrete with
a heavy covering of earth. In San Fran
cisco it would probably be built on the bluff
overlooking the harbor there. The details
connected with the mining classmates al
ready built are secretly guarded by those
officers Of the army who are familiar with
them
