VIRGINIA.

The Democrats VIII Elect Their
State Ticket and Senator.
Richmond, Va, Oct. 3O.-The campaign
in Virginia practically closes tonight. Gov
ernor, Eeutenant-governor, attorney gen.
eral and half the Senate, and a full lower
house, are to be elected.
The legislature will elect a successor in
the United States Senate to succeed John
w. Daniel.
The canvass has been apathetic on both
sides, but 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 recent faction
al fight in the party in the state, and they
also run candidates in a number of legis-
lative districts. With the republican, indie
pendent and populist candidates, there
may be said to be about sixty legislative
candidates running in opposition to the
regular democracy. The populsts have a
candidate 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 en-
danger his election.

commonwealth has a campaign been car
ried on with more enthusiasm and ener-
gy than has this one.
The free silver question has been the
chief issue in the state at large, while in
the large towns and cities the issues have
been purely local, the financial question
having been almost wholly relegated to
the background.
The following are the nominees of the
respective parties for clerk of the court
of appeals
Democratic-Samuel ]. Shackelford.
National Democratic-James r. Hind
man.
Republean-James G.. Bailey.
Populst-Joel A. Parker.

and no one can hazard a guess as to the
outcome.
George D. Todd, republican, and Charles
Weaver, democrat, are the respective can
didates for mayor.

LooKING Fom A LEADER.

Prof. zimmerman Declines to Sue
ceed Leader FanciulIi.
Washington, Oct. SO.-Trouble is being
experienced by the navy department in its
efforts to find a really capable leader for
the Marine band to succeed Fanciuln. The
leader of the Naval Academy band, Prof
Charles A. Zimmerman, who was select
ed for the succession, has declined on the
ground that the announced decision of the
department to stop the bandsmen from
accepting outside engagements will make
it impossible to maintain the band at It's
present high standing, as frst-class musi-
clans cannot live upon the small compen-
sation allowed for an enlisted man.

THE UNION PACIFIC AFFAIR.

A Reported Injunction Causes Great
Excitement at Omaha.
Omaha, Neb, Oct SO.-For a time to-day
there was great excitement in railroad cir
cles in this city over the report that an
injunction had been asked preventing the
sale of the Union Pacific road under fore
closure next Monday. The report first
came through dispatch from Dow, Jones
& Co., of New York but in short time
the story came in from other points.
1t was impossible to substantiate the
story, however. and 1t Is not thought here
that there is anything in at.
Judge Munger of the United States dis
trict court was the only federal judge in
the city to-day He said that he had not
heard of any move to obtain an INDUCTION
and declared that If such an attempt were
made before him the chances were that
he would refuse to have anything to do
with the matter.

A Judge of Supreme Court to BE
Elected There.
Denver. Col. Oct. SO.-A judge of the
supreme court of the state of Colorado is
to be elected next Tuesday. No other
state officers are to be chosen this year,
but county elections will be held through
out the state. There are three candidates
for supreme judge, viz:
Charles D. Hayt administration republi-
can, silver republican.
William H. Gabbert, popullst and demo-
crat.
Nathan L. Griest socialist labor.
1t is claimed that many silver republi-
cans will vote for Gabbert because Hayt
accepted a nomination by the administra-
ton republicans.
Senator Teller is supporting Hayt in
spite of the claim that has been made that
his election would be accepted throughout
the country as an evidence that 5he sill
yer republicans in Colorado have abandon
ed their organization.

bringing on Serious Trouble.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
Port-au-Prince, Hayti, Oct. A.-Serious
trouble has arisen between Hayti and Ger
many. The German minister to this re-
public Count Schweria, has hauled down
his flag and according to current report,
three German warships are expected here
to back up the ultlmatum of that minis
ter to Haiti, demanding an indemnity for
the alleged illegal arrest and Imprisonment
Of a German citizen.
The affair has caused considerable ex-
citement 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 young German nam
ed Linlers. The Germans say that a
dozen policemen entered Lnders' house
and arrested one of his servants Mr..
Linders went to central police headquar-
ters to complain against this action of the
police, but was himself arrested, charged
with assaulting and attempting TO murder
police officers in the execution Of their
duty.
After two trials Linders was fined $500
and condemned to years imprisonment,
though the Germans claim there was no
evidence against him On Oct II the Ger
man minister went TO the President OF
Hayti, Augustin Smon-Sam, and demand
ed in the name of the German emperor
that Mr.. Linders be set at liberty and also
demanded for the % days he had
spent IN prison an indemnity of $1,000 in
gold, adding that for every day Llnders
was kept prisoner after that notification,
he (the German minister) would demand
an indemnity of 5000 in gold. At first the
Haytlan president refused to grant the
German minister's demand, and Mr.. Lin
ders remained six days longer in prison
The German minister then notified the
Haytian government that he had broke
Of all diplomatic relations with the HAY
tian government This caused great ex-
Element here, and disturbances would
have occurred had they not been averted

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 1S.-The flooded
mines of Leadville will not be pumped
out. Eben Smith, chairman Of the COM
niittee appointed by the mine owners to
secure funds to buy and operate the
necessary pumps, said today the pumps
would not be started as long as silver
remained at the present low price. In
addition to $4,000 contributed for the
purpose Of unwatering the mines, 1t was
found that s25,000 more was needed, and
it is impossible to raise this, as David
H. Moffatt, one of the principal mine
owners, has fatty refused to give an
other dollar.
