The Campaign in virginia

Richmond, Va, October 3O.-The
campaign in Virginia practically clos
ed tonight. A governor, lieutenant
governor, attorney general and half
the senate, and a full lower house are
to be elected. The legislature will elect
successor in the United States senate
to succeed John w. Daniel. The can
vass has been apathetic on both sides,
out the democrats will, with the hold
over senators, have good majorities in
both houses, and will elect their state
ticket. The republicans have a full
state ticket in the field, which will be
pretty well supported, despite the re-
cent factiOnal fight in the party in the
state, and they also run candidates in
number of legislative districts. What
with the republican, independent and
populist candidates, there may be said
to be about sixty legislative candidates
running in opposition to the regular
democracy. The populists have a can
didate in the field for lieutenant gov
ernor, and this, it is thought, may
draw some votes from the democratic
candidate for the same office, but not
enough to endanger his election.

New Orleans, October 3O.-There is
some little improvement in the situa-
tion this evening. The returns show
that there has been a falling off in
new cases and matters have been quiet
in and about the board of health, al
though the officials have not relaxed in
their vigilance. The frost which was
predicted for last night did not ma
terialize, and, of course, there was gen.
eral disappointment, There are indi-
cations that cold weather is not far off
and people Of this city are beginning
to take hope. There were six deaths
today.
Mobile, Ala, October 30.-A large in
crease in the number of fever cases was
reported at noon today. Coming after
the comparatively cold weather set in,
this tends to discourage people who
were expecting the disease to rapidly
die away. The death average remains
low, however, and the recoveries are
rapidly made. Thirty-six under treat
ment is about the average since the
first week. The following is today's
report: Nine new cases and two deaths,
with total cases to date 244 and deaths
35. Frost predicted for this place did
not appear this morning. The report
of the first frost is from Carson, a
point sixty miles north.

HAULS DOWN HIS FLAG
German Minister to Hayti Sewers Diplo-
matte RelatiOns-Warships Expected to
Enforce Indemnity for imprisonment of
q German Citizen

Correspondence Of Associated Press
Port au Prince, Hayti, October 21.-
Serious trouble has arison between
Hayti and Germany. The German
minister to this republic, Count
Schweerin, has hauled down his flag
and according to current report, three
German warships are expected here to
back up the ultimatum of that minis
ter to Hayti, demanding an indemnity
FOR the alleged illegal arrest and i'm
prlsonment of a German citizen. The
affair has caused considerable excite
ment among the native population and
some of the people have threatened to
kill the German minister, and all the
Germans in this place.
The affair grew out Of the arrest here
a few weeks ago Of a young German
named Linders. The Germans say that
dozen policemen entered Linder's
house and arrested one of his servants.
Mr. Linders went to the central police
headquarters to complain against this
action of the police, but was himself
arrested, charged with assaulting and
and attempting to murder police officers
in the execution of their duty. After
two trials Linders was fined $500 and
condemned to a years Imprisonment
evidence against him. On October 18th
the German minister went to the presi-
dent of Hayti, Augustin Simon Sam
and demanded in the name of the Ger
man emperor that Linders be set at lib
erty and also demanded for the twen-
ty-three days he had spent in prison,
an indemnity of $1,000 in gold, adding
that for every day Linders was kept
prisoner after that notification, he (the
German minister) would demand an in
demnity of $1,000 in gold. At first the
Haytian president refused to grant the
German minister's demand and Mr.
Linders remained six days longer in
prison. The German minister then no
titled the Haytian government that he
had broke off all diplomatic relations
with the Haytian government This
caused great excitement here and dis
turbances would have occurred had
they not been averted by sending Mr.
Linders, who was threatened with
lynching. on board a steamer bound
for New York. 1t was said that the
German minister, on the arrival OF the
warships. will insist upon the payment
Of the indemnity.
