Politics and Politics.

The praises which have been showered on
Governor Ellerbe before and after his elec-
tion seem strange, If not suggestive. Charles.
ton is dearly in love with the Reforner, and,
80 to speak, would almost fall down and
worship at his feet. Other Conservatives
look as If they might, with little more emo
tlon, fall upon his neck and weep great tears
of love and a ffection.
But 1t didn't work. Governor Ellerbe seems
to have backb bone, and In his inaugural,
gave no signs OF weakening on the dispen-
sary law.

CHANCE FOR TROUBLE
BRITAIN AND FRANCE MAY BECOME
INVOLVED IN AFRICA.
An Incident of the Territory Grab.
bling Race That May Lead to War
The Campaign in India.

LONDON, Oct. 26.-Advices from Lagos,
west coast of Africa, say that a detach-
ment of the West Indian regiment stationed
at Lagos has started for the frontier of
the Hinterland In this connection the
Paris Journal says: News has reached St.
Louis from the Dahomey Hinterland to the
effect that complications are imminent at
Nikh and elsewhere in Borgu, of which
territory Nikki is the capital and which, it
is claimed in England, belongs to Great
Britain by virtue of treaty concluded with
the King of Borgu prior to the treaties made
with that monarch by representatives of
France"
A semi-of1icial statement regarding the
reported trouble in West Africa was issued
in Paris this evening. 1t says: "The news
from West Africa foreshadows great diff
ficulties in Nikki and in Borgu. The Niger
Company (British) is sending officers there
TO incte rebellion and distribute arms to
the natives. In view of this situation
French troops have been dispatched to that
district from Senegal as a preventive meas
ure. Moreover, the British negotiators for
a settlement of the Niger question have
been in Paris for over a week and every
thing points to Great Britain seeking to let
matters drag. Seemingly she does not in
tend to discuss the question, but means
will undoubtedly be found to foil these
tactics
AS to the above semi-official statement
the British Colonial Office officials here to-
night declared that there does not seem
to be any reasonable fear of complications
at Nikki, provided the French government
behaves reasonably" But it was added at
the Colonial Office that Great Britain has
taken the determination to more effectualy
police her territory and if the French per-
sist in trespassing complications will natur-
ally enSue.

NO sNUB INTENDED.
The Cars Reply to the Grand Duke
of Baden Was Bunsled.
Why the Gar Snubbed Them.

BERLIN, Oct 26.-The Tageblatt explains
to-day that the refusal of the Car to re-
ceive the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess
Of Baden at Darmstadt on Saturday last
was due to the sarcastic comments made
by the Grand Duke of Baden on the CONVEX
sion of the Czarina, formerly Princess Alix
of Hesse sister of the Grand Duke of
Hesse, to the Greek Church previous to her
marriage to the Gear in November, 1894.
The Frankfort Zeitung gives as a reason
for the Cars action in refusing to receive
the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of
Baden at Darmstadt the fact that the
Crown Prince of Baden wooed the Czarina' S
sister, the present Grand Duchess Zergius
of Russia, and was rejected, and the mat
ter left GOODNESS amounting to rancor be-
tween the two courts. The Gear, the
Zeitung adds evidently wished to show
that he shares the feeling of his wife and
the Darmstadt court in this matter.
A semi-official statement issued from
Darmstadt to-day denied that there is any
political significance in the Cars reply to
the intimation conveyed to him by the
Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden
that the latter would be pleased to visit
his Majesty at Darmstadt. the statement
adds that the Russian Emperor's answer
was bungled through the indebtedness of
the officials concerned.

land in eastern Kansas He was swindled
out of it through litigation, and now he
wants the President to assist him in re-
gaining the property. He said he had come
to Chicago in the hope of SECURING the SYM

been unsuccessful and was almost discour-
aged. He had called on Senator Mason in
order to persuade the latter to assist him
in securing what he wanted from the Pres
ident The senator is not in the city. An
other appointment was made with the man
on the suspicion that he was a crank and
detectives were sent for, but Scholder did
not show up again. He had been in Chi

if he did not go to Washington he would

CHASED BY TRIBEsMEN.
British Troops Pursued by Indian
Rebels After CapturinE a ViIlnge.


SIMLA, Oct. 26.-Official advices received
here to-day from Kharappa announce that
a large foraging party of British troops
yesterday captured the village of Rimad-
ban and secured a quantity of supplies On
retiring the troops were hotly followed by
the enemy to within a mile of the British
camp. On the British side nine men, includ-
ing Colonel HadoWa, were wounded.
The confidence OF insurgent tribesmen is
increasing and they are Offering a deter
mined front in ali directions. The British
officers say the tribesmen excel in guerrilla
warfare and are wonderful skirmshers. The
enemy is fully supplied with ammunition
and large reinforcements are joining the in
surgent camps.
A dispatch from Semphagha gives the
official list of the killed and wounded at
the storming of Dargai ridge as being 1875,
of which number thirty-seven were killed.
1t is estimated that the tribesmen have
maSSed twenty thousand met at Sempagha
pass, where they are busy making rife pits
in the ssngars and strengthening their de-
lenses. 1t is generally believed, however,
by either flank and, though hard fighting
is possibly in store, it is hoped that the
pass will be carried without great effort.
Meanwhile, it is bad news that the tribes
men have begun to operate on the British
lines of communication. The fear is that,
finding this the most successful means of
delaying the British advance, they will de-
tach still larger bodies to attack the Brit
ish conveys and cut up the escorts. This
(Tuesday) evening the tribesmen harassed
the British camp near Khangabur by a con-
slant, weli-directed fire for several hours.
Nearly thirty-one noncommissioned officers
and men were slightly wounded. A tele-
graph wire was cut close to the camp.
A picturesque but unfortunate incident
occurred on the Shinwari side of the Sa-
mana range. A party of Gurkhas sent out
under Lieutenant Willard, had crept close
up to a large body of the enemy. Just at
this moment through some mistake, mag
nesium star shells were fired from the Brit
ish camp and revealed the whole situation,
enabling the enemy TO escape unhurt.

GEN. CAsTILLo's DEATH.
How an Insursent Leader Was Kiiles
by the SpnninrGa.

by the Spaniards.
HAVANA, Oct 26.-It is announced from
Spanish headquarters here that details have
been received of the death recently near
the Felicitas farm, in the Managua district
of this province, of General Adolfo Castillo,
the wei-known insurgent leader, who was
reported killed some time ago, which news
was apparently confirmed by official advices
yesterday. 1t appears that a Spanish force
engaged in escorting convoy of provisions
was attacked by the Romero branch of the
insurgent force reinforced by the insur-
gents under General Castillo. The extreme
advance guard Of the Spanish troops. the
official report continues, surrounded the in
surgents and compelled them to retreat and
eventually seek refuge in the hills. There
the insurgents were pursued from hill to
hill by civil guards, and eventually General
Castillo fell, with three others, suffering
from bullet wounds In the midst of the
fight, it is further officially reported, Cap
tain Medel, of the Spanish troops cut down
and killed Romero, the insurgent leader.
The Spanish troops captured several good
horses, including the horse ridden by Gen
eral Castillo. They were brought to the
palace to-day. A machete and belt the
former having a silver handle, inscribed
March 4, 1897 fell into the hands of the
government troops. March 4, it is pointed
out, was the date the insurgents entered
Guines, this province. Finally the troops
obtained possession OF q valuable new dag
ger and a Smith q Wesson revolver and
book printed in English, having in it a
note from the insurgent captain, Mario
Diaz giving details of the death of the in
surgent leader Domenech and of an Ameri-
can named Clyde. The wife and children
of Castillo are understood to be living in
New York.
After the body had been formally identi-
fled the remains of General Castillo were
inferred at IL o'clock to-day in the ceme-
terry of Colon. The body was taken to the
grave in the hearse of the morgue, and was
tom On the way to the cemetery the body
of the dead nsurgent was protected by
squad of soldiers. The general had a
machete wound on his neck and a bullet
wound in his right knee, both of which had
healed up in addition to the wound which
caused his death. The remains Of the gen.
eral were inferred in the elegant uniform of
