were demonstrating against European

who have been installing Christians as

Riots took place in various parts o.

Ing shells. with the result that por-
tion of the city was destroyed by
flames. The greatest confusion and up
roar prevails. and it is feared that
there will be further pillagc ana de-
struction.
The trouble began with the attempt
of the British military authorities to
install Christian officials. They had
appointed a council of internal control
to administer the tithe revenues, and q
detachment of soldiers was stationed
outside the Office as precaution.
A crowd of unarmed Mussulmans
who had been demonstrating against
the Christians attempted to force an
entrance into the office. The British
soldiers fired and wounded several. The
Mussulmans ran for their arms, and on
returning attacked the soldiers Other

contest Of the will Of Adolph Sutro was
filed yesterday. Edgar e. SutrU, one
of the six children. represents the fanr-
lily in an endeavor to have the will set

sound mind At the time Of the execu-
tion of his will, May q. 1882, and so
remained to the day of his death. The
contestant charges that Sutro died intes-

dated nor signed by the hand of Sutro:
that the document was not witnessed
by the parties whose names are sub
scribed thereto, and that the WILL after
Its alleged execution by Sutro, was re-
Yoked.

!" BARKER AND DONNELLY, :
Niddie-of-R Road Populist Candidates

SAAuuAo.Vi-hOAu IOpUIlSC CanOIOatoS
For President and Vice President.
Cincinnati. Sept. 7.-The Populist ma
tional convention nominated Wharton
Barker. Of Pennsylvania, for president
by a vote Of 1928 4-5 as against OF 1-5
for lgnatius Dornelly, of Minnesota.
On motion of Mr.. Donnelly the NOM
nation of Mr.. Barker was made unani-
nous, and then Ignatlus Donnelly was
nominated for vice president by accla-
nation. Before the nominations were
reached the convention got into such a
row that the manager of the Lyceum
ordered them to leave the hall, fearing
the destruction of his property. Order
was finally restored by the Butler fac
ton bolting and leaving the hall.
The object of the early action was to
ward Off any such fusion as that of
1886. While the radicals controlled the
convention they could not carry out
the program without bolt from north
trn delegates. The western and south
ern delegates nominated Barker and
Donnelly and declared the principles
OIL the reorganized party The eastern
states were not represented.
1t was the smallest national con-
vention on record, and 1t adopted the
longest platform on record, one of over
'.OoO words Most Of the usual rules of
conventions were ignored, and most of
the delegates came with self constituted
credentials, owing to the confusion over
the call. 1t was very noisy conven-
tion, and no connected report of the
proceedings will be recorded. While
the Peoples party was heretofore di-
vided on the issue Of fusion, it has now
been found that even the anti-fusionists
are badly divided, and that the fighting
among the middle -Of-the -roaders them
selves has Just begun.

send troops. The negroes have been
kept closely guarded at Springsde col

of them marched into town and
through the principal streets. They
kaxa NOT molested by the strikers.
