THi ALLEGHEKY DELEGATION HAS A TICKET
Although less than one-third of the dele
gates who are to nominate the Democratic
candidate for Governor at Scranton, "Wednes
day, are on the spot, the Pattison and "Wallace
managers are figuring majorities for their
candidates. Pattison's figures are on first
ballot: Pattison, 200; "Wallace, 114; doubt
ful, W. Several deals are on foot. Alle
gheny county's delegation has a ticket.
ifrom A STAyr coanEsrosDEXT.
Scranton, June 30. To-night there
are two types of the Pennsylvania
Democrats on hand ready tor the State
Convention -which assembles "Wednes
day in this city. One represents the old
line, the Bourbon, as the extremist would
call him. The other is the Democrat of the
latter day, the young, progressive fellow.
The first calls for strict adherence to
party traditions. The other believes in
a light platform that will possibly be
digestible tor the Republican of easy
conscience, and in a candidate whose name
will truckle considerably to the floating
independent vote. Platform, however,
has little to do with it to-night. The
candidate question is the larger realm
for speculation. The straight old-time ele
ment insists on making the usual nomina
tion this year without truckling to outsiders.
The more liberal Democrats want to name a
candidate who will get more than the Demo
cratic vote. That a balance of power lies in
'he dissatisfied Republican vce this year is
. fact -so plain that it must be observed by
all.
The Two Candidate.
.Robert E. Pattison, of Philadelphia, and
"William A. "Wallace, of Clearfield county,
are the two leading candidates to-night for
the Gubernatorial nomination. Pattison,
if nominated, would probably lose some
Democratic votes on account of his Re
publican affiliations in the executive cham
ber five years ago, but this would be im
measurably offset by the pull he would have
on the floating Republican vote.
Mr. "Wallace, if nominated, would, no
doubt, secure every Democratic in the
State, but he would get comparatively none
of the Republican "boilover." "With sini
plya party vote by the Democrats, Mr.
Delamater would be elected Governor. In
one way only does this Democratic situa
tion at Scranton to-night furnish a parallel
to the Republican convention last week at
Harrisburg. There, Hastings was undoubt
edly the candidate of the people, but Dela
nater had the delegates with their votes.
Paulson the Favorite of the Ulasses.
Robert E. Pattison is beyond all question
the choice of the masses for Democratic
nominee, but "William A. "Wallace, who,
perhaps, may admit this, claims to have the
delegates. Right there the parallel ends.
There has been no boss like Quay to whip
Wallace's men into line, nor a State Chair
man like Andrews to use prestige and or
ganization for him.
Chairman Kisner, to prove his neutrality,
keeps stubbornly away from the rooms of
both candidates, and this evening attracted
much attention by driving two of the hand
somest roan horses iu Scranton around the
City in leisurely style.
"Wallace is admittedly an organiier and
a skillful political workman. He went to
work early in this campaign. On the other
hand, while Pattison in his two months'
campaign made good headway, the sponta
neous demand for his candidacy has been
only since the ropes were tied a week ago for
Pelamater's forced nomination.
Tbe People' Demand Fictltlons.
It is asked then why, if "Wallace recog
nising this wave of popnlar demand dne to
the Republican imbroglio, does not grace
fully retire, and in the interests of suc
cess let Pattison have lis own way.
And just there is where the
straight out-and-out Democracy of
tbe old line stand behind him and declare
the popular demand is fictitious, that it
comes not from the party but from dis
gruntled outsiders. But the Pattison man
agers are not conceding "Wallace's big
claims by any means. Late to-night they
gave out the following estimate of delegates
by counties who wonld vote for the ex
Governor. 1'attl-

As there will be 367 delegates iu the con
vention, 184 will be required to elect. By
the above table, therefore, Pattison would
be
Nominated an tbe First Ballot,
even awarding all the doubtful men to
"Wallace. At 1 o'clock a. m. to-night Mr.
Wallace said he had seen the above estimate,
and considered it worthless.
"It is practically the same thing they have
figured out for two weeks," lie added. "The
delegates are not here vet, consequently how
do they know their feeling? To-night one dele
gation of a certain connty came to my room
and said: 'Here are five votes for yon.' An
other said: 'You will get one vote out
my delegation.' Those men I am sure
of. They are on tbe ground, hut bow
in the name of common sense my friends on tbo
other street can count 200 delegate? for their
candidate when those 200 delegates are not
within 100 miles of Scranton yet, I do not un
derstand. I will have more votes than Mr.
Pattison on the first ballot, and I will be nomi
nated on the second ballot."
Nevertheless, the refusal of Mr. "Wallace
to give out a table of his delegates' strength,
or figures of any positive character what
ever, indicates weakness of his following.
Both Candidates Blading.
As a matter of fact, both candidates are
working a big bluff as to figures. Each
claims tbe nomination. One has as good a
chance as the other, but certainly the odds
seem to be in favor of Pattison so far as win
ning doubtful delegates is concerned.
A. "W. Fletcher, of Senator "Wallace's
headquarters, says they will have 172 votes
on the first ballot, but he refuses to say
where they will come from.
Ex-Governor Pattison had an enthusiastic
reception when he arrived from Philadel
phia at 9:30 to-night He was accompanied
on his journey by "Wra. H. Singerly, John
Norris, Judge "Verden and ex-City Attorney
Hatcher.
The Boomers In Chnrce.
Those in charge of Pattison's boom are
Hon. "William S. Stenger, Secretary of
State under Governor Pattison; Sheriff
Krumbhaar, K. Lennon, James O'Neill, all
of Philadelphia. These were assisted by
Connty Treasurer Daniel Campbell, of
Scranton, and John B. Larkin, of Pittsburg.
B. F. Myers, of Harrisburg; George Mc
Gowand and ex-Speaker Fnunce, of Phila
delphia; Senator Ross, ot Bncks county, and
Mr. "W. E. "Wallace, son of the candidate,
are in charge of the Clearfield county boom.
The Allegheny county delegation arrived
at 9 o'clock to-night. It embraced
three distinct possibilities, viz: John B.
Larkin for Secretary of Internal Affairs,
Stephen C. McCandless for Lieuten
ant Governor and Billy Brcnnen
for the State Chairman, to succeed
Kisner, who resigns with the convention.
B. F. Myers, however, is said to be under
scored twice for that position. As for Lieutenant-Governor,
here is a partially com
pleted List of Candlclntcsl
Ex-Speaker John E. Faunce, of Philadel
phia; Senator H. K, Sloan.Indiana; Chaun
cey Black, of York; Stephen C. McCand
less, of Alleeheny; Sheriff Charles Robin
son, of this county, and R. E. "Wright,
of Lehigh. Ex-Senator Humes, ot
Crawford county, is no longer
a candidate for LieuteHant Governor. Hon.
Eckley B. Coxe, of Luzerne, or Senator
Huusinger, of Montgomery, will possibly
be the temporary chairman of the conven
tion, and it is quite likely that he will be
continued as permanent chairman.
There will be no test of strength made in
the organization. The platform will con
tain a plank on civil service, 3nd will also
advise the calling of a Constitutional Con
vention about making the ballot secret after
the Australian style. It will look
to an equalization of taxes, so as to relieve
farmers, and will be sure to have a cold stab
at Harrison's administration and may prob
ably add something about Quay, not, how
ever, in the same strain as that adopted at
Harrisburg.
Delegates Coming Slowly.
Delegates are now beginning to arrive
slowly, and by to-morrow the city will be
crowded with strangers. Mr. "Wallace re
tired late, after he indignantly denied a
rumor that he might withdraw from the
contest on the eve of the battle if
he saw that Pattison was gaining,
and then lay on his oars for the United
States Senatorship. Mr. "Wallace says he
proposes to be Governor, not Senator. He
also contradicted the statement that he was
after the control of the State organization to
be ready to manage the national campaign
in 1892.
There was only one rumor about Pattison
and that was that he will be nominated.
He couldn't deny that, so he retired earlv.

SCRANTON'S SUCCESS
IN SECURING THE DEMOCRATIC STATE

Great Preparations Being Made by Citizen

IFBOM A STAFr COnBESPOXDEST.l
Sckanton. June SO. The new census
increnses Scranton's population from 45,000
in 1880 to 96,000 now, but that does not seem
to tickle its people one-half so much as th8
fact that Scranton was selected for the Dem
ocratic State Convention.
The 13 hours' ride from Pittsburg to Scran
ton, and the fact that New York City is
a good bit nearer than Philadelphia, makes
the average politician wonders why the
convention tent was pitched away up here,
but a few hours' sojourn in this marvelous
city fetches everybody around to the con
fession that at least a change from Harris
burg sent them to a highly interesting
of
Scranton are revelations to most visitors.
Tbo City In Gny Attire.
There is four times the amount of street
decorations here in honor of the State
Convention than there has ever been at
Harrisburg. Flags, banners and bunting
are swung to the breeze from the fronts of
business houses all along Lackawanna and
"Wyoming avenues. The city wears a fete
appearance. No efforts were spared by
Scrantonians of every political faith to give
the visitors royal welcome. Among those
who looked after the. interests of the
strangers were: A. P. Bedford, Chairman
of the Reception Committee; Hon. M. F.
Sando, Chairman of the Committee on Ac
commodations; J". Fitzsimmons, Chairman
of the Press Committee; Sheriff Robinson,
Deputy Sheriff John J. Fahey, H. B.
Reynolds, Frank Thompson, Charle.8 M.

Candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
Sheriff Robinson, besides being a candi
date for Lieutenant Governor, is a brewer.
His extensive beer factory is thrown wide
open to the visiting delegates. In fact, some
Republicans are weak enough to say that
Sheriff Robinson's brewery was what de
cided the State Committee in favorof Scran
ton for the convention. Tim O'Leary
may be expected to deny this.
Early in the morning a force of men were
placed to work in Music Hall, in which is
located the reception rooms of the Demo
cratic Central Club. They were ordered to
thoroughly clean and decorate the main
hall and other rooms. Streamers are being
strung and flags and flowers placed wherever
space offers opportunity.
Candidates' Headquarters.
Friends of Mr. "Wallace were meantime
placarding the corridors and mam rooms of
the "Wyoming Hotel, announcing the num
ber and location of Mr. Wallace's room. A
handsome banner was also being painted,
which it is proposed to fling to the breeze
from the third floor of the hotel diagonally
across the sidewalk to the stalwart telegraph
pole on the corner.
A Pattison banner is also to be strung
across "Wyoming avenue from the "Westmin
ster Hotel, tbe gift of Mr. Harrity, of Phila
delphia. A handsome flag is to be strung
across Lackawanna avenue from the rooms
of the Central Democratic Club, and the
entire front of the building in which the
club has its home will be covered witb bunt

SCBANTON, June 30. A novel system of
ticket distribution has been adopted for ad
mittance to the State Democratie Conven
tion on "Wednesday. The present nine
division chairmen are as follows: First
division, B. F. Myers, of Harrisburg;
Second division, E. F. Kerr, of Bedford:
Third division, "William J. Brennen, of
Pittsburg; Fourth division, John G.
McConahy, of New Castle; Fifth
division, James Kerr, of Clearfield;.
Sixth division Dr. P. F. Hyatt, of Lewis
burg, Union county; Seventh division
Eckley B. Coxe, of Luzerne; Eighth di
vision J. Marshall Wrieht, of Lehigh;
Ninth division C. H. Krumbhaar, of
Philadelphia. Each of these gentlemen
represents a great section of the State.
Those of the Third division, being from the
counties of Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver,
Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Jeflerson,
Washington and "Westmoreland, reporting
to William J. Brennen, of Allegheny.
A Division Organization.
There are nine division headquarters at
the "Wyoming House and the county chair
man in each division, with the division
chairman, will receive the delegates and
maintain during the convention a division
organization that .will have charge
of the distribution of convention
tickets to the delegates and others
entitled to them in the several divisions. The
nine divisions secretaries will be the tem
porary secretaries of the convention. The
district chairman and the county chairman
will be provided with appropriate badges
and will be assigned reserved seats
in the convention. Chairman Kisner
has located on a diagram of the Academy of
Music the places to be occupied by
the various divisions, all on tbe ground
floor. Sections C and H, on the right, have
been allotted to the ninth or Philadelphia
division, and section A, on the left of the
parquette, to the third or Pittsburg division.
Between these two in section B, running
from the stage to the dress circle, are
located the fifth or Clearfield, the eighth or
Lehigh, the second or Bedford, and the
sixth or Lewisburg divisions.
Over a Tbonsnnd Tickets Issued.
Immediately in the rear of the delegates
the County Chairmen are assigned seats,
and these and the Division Chairmen will
take up the balance of the ground floor.
There will be 367 delegates, each ol whom
will receive a coupon ticket for a designated
seat, to which he will be taken by the
regular Academy of Music ushers.
Each delegate will receive one general
admission ticket (not coupon) that will en
title the holder to a seat in either the bal
cony or gallery. There will be distributed
to each division chairman two general ad
mission tickets for each delegate in his
division, making 734 tickets thus dis
tributed, and, with the 367 distributed to
delegates, a total ot 1,101 general admission
tickets will be issued.
There will be no distribution of tickets by
the State Committee, except to the division
chairmen, and it is altogether probable that
the latter will distriDute their tickets
through their respective eounty chairmen.
The stage tickets will bedistributed through
the division and county chairmen the same

Sneatcr Kecd Confident tbe Bill Will Pass and Claims
it is a Necessity.
The greater portion of the day in the House
was taken up in debating on the Federal
Election bill. The vote will be taken to
day, and it is claimed that it will pass by a
majority of 10. "W. "W. Dickson was sworn
in as Representative from the Sixth District
of Kentucky.
rSFSCIAL TELHOBAJt TO TT1K DISPATCD.!
Washington, June 30. This has been
every man's day on the election bill. No
notable talking was done, but there was a
great deal all told. At 3 o'clock the general
debate closed and the five minute debate be
gan. All sorts of points were made, and
all sorts of violent efforts were made to con
quer space with a great deal of noise. The
Leblbach amendment to make the law gen
erally independent of local petitions for Fed
eral interference, which was expected to cap
ture support from the Republicans, will not
live ten minutes after the voting begins to
morrow. At present not over five bolters
can be thought of. Coleman, of Louisiana;
Lehlbach, of New Jersey, and Ewart, of
North Carolina, are adamantine in their de
termination to oppose the bill. Coleman's
speech to-day was a plain, practicable ex
planation of conditions in the South, as he
is a Republican of Southern birth. He pre
dicted bloodshed if the law should bo passed
and enforced.
It is rumored that Nathan Frank, of St.
Louis, and Cheadle, of indiana, are two
other, defections from the Republican ranks
that may be expected, but here is nothing
definite in regard to them. The Republicans
have counted nnses and it is given out to
night that they have votes enough on hand
to carry the bill throughby a majority of 10.
iTHE SPEAKER'S TIEWS.
Speaker Reed shows just as great nerve as
ever, and says the bill will pass. That the
rumor that be will substitute a milder
measure is nonsense, and that the news from
Amity Parish in Louisiana, to-day,.is proof
enough ot the necessity and wisdom of the
bill. In giving his views on the crisis to-day
he said, with his usual dry drawl, the story
from Louisiana contains the two statements
that always come from accounts of such po
litical outrages "the negroes are dead and
all is quiet now."
Vfter the presentation of the credentials
of "W. W. Dickinson as a Representative
from the Sixth Congressional district of
Kentucky, to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mr. Carlisle, the debate on
the Federal Election bill was resumed, Mr.
Herbert, of Alabama, being accorded the
floor. He referred to the reconstruction
laws and said that by them the negro had
been taught to distrust the Southern white
man; and during the reconstruction period
the Southern States had beM presented-::;
Congress by Republicans. Now t.iey
were represented by Democrats, and
hence the necessity for a national elec
tion law. In the South the era of peace and
prosperity had come. Tbe negro was learn
ing that it was not for his interest to array
himself solidly against the white man, and
the white man was doing everything in his
power to teach the negro this lesson. If the
South were allowed to work out the problem
for itself tbe time would soon come when
the negro, being educated as the white man
was, would be able to take care of himself,
both as a taxpayer and as a citizen. This
bill would have the effect of arraying race
against race again in the South.
DO NOT "WANT A DISHONEST ELECTION
Mr. Hauk. of Tennessee, said that his ad
vocacy of a national election law did not
grow out of any supposed emergency or
necessity, notwithstanding that there were
a variety of reasons now that the power of
tne uovernment snouia De asserted. In his
district there was an absolutely fair elec
tion. The Democrats of his country did
not want a dishonest election. False count
ing or stuffing of ballot boxes in the Second
district of Tennessee would confine the per
petrators within the walls ol the peni
tentiary. Strangers listening to this debate
might think that the object of the measure
was to arrest the whole Democratic party.
What harm would a Federal
Election law do? What harm wouid
result from an honest election? Had
the Democrats from the South practiced dis
honest elections so long that they would
break their hearts to have to stop them? It
was said that the bill would revive race
prejudice. He undertook to say that there
was no race prejudice involved in this bill.
This was not race prejudice that the Demo
crats were combatting; it was political prej
udice. The objection was not that the col
ored man was black, but that he voted the
Republican ticket. He wanted this Gov
ernment to be so strong that it could reach
out its hand and punish every crime against
the rights of the nation.
AN INOPPORTUNE TIME.
Mr. Coleman, of Louisiana, announced
himself as a Republican both from convic
tion and from principle. He had been
elected to the House as a Republican, but
he was opposed to the enactment of a Fed
eral Election law at this time. He would
heartily support a national election bill if
he thought its enactment would secure an
honest ballot. Why should the memories
of the reconstruction period be stirred up?
This was not following the advice of that
wonderful statesman, Abraham Lincoln.
He opposed any legislation calculated to
create trouble and friction between the races.
He did not wish to stimulate any trouble,
and he was as certain that trouble and blood
shed would follow the enactment of this
legislation and that the law would fail in its
purpose as he was that he would vote against
it in this House. He wanted peace,
progress and prosperity. He wanted to
see continue and increase the industrial
development in the South. A Federal
Election law would be an expensive political
blunder. The public money could be used
to 'greater advantage iu paying the honest
claims of the people of the South in reim
bursing the depositors in the Freedman's
Saving and Trust Company; in constructing
levees on the Mississippi river, and in edu
cating tho children of the South, black as
well as white. He wanted to see the solid
ity of the South broken and there were
signs of disintegration in the Democratic
party ol the South. Pass a Federal Election
law, and the men now ready to separate
from the Democratic party would get back
into what they were told was the white
man's party rather than risk negro suprem
acy. In conclusion he appealed to the
House to listen to tbe words of Grant, the
soldier and the patriot, "Let us have
peace."
THE BIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.
Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, said that the
question whether a man did or did not ex
ercise the right of suffrage was not involved
in this legislation. The question was
whether those upon whom that right had
been conferred should be permitted to exer
cise it. Should every lawful voter residing
I in this Republic entitled to participate in
the election of a Representative to the Na
tional Legislature have the opportunity to
cast his vote and when cast to have it hon
estly counted, and when counted to have it
truthfnllv declared. That was all there
was in the bill. Where was the man who
would fay "No." If there was one, let him
rise, "for him have I offended."
There was but one answer to the question.
When the popular vote was tampered with
representative government existed but in
name. Referring to the small vote by
which many of the Southern Representa
tives were elected to Congress, he admitted
that the elections were quiet. So was a
cemetery quiet. He hoped that the future
historian would not be compelled to de
clare: "You made a solitude and called it
peace."
Hehad rather the Government had been
taken by force in 1861-65 than it be taken
now by fraud. He could forgive a man who
in the moment of rjassion or the hour of
revolution fired on' his flag, but that man
who crawled to the ballot box, where re
posed the latest born offspring- of the
sovereign wiii and took its life, was an
assassin. In the presence of such a crime as
that, treason itself whitened into a virtue.
Some gentlemen said: "Do not pass this
law, but let us go home to the people and
cry, 'Liberty, liberty.' " Liberty for what?
Liberty to stuff ballot boxes, to falsify re
turns, to overthrow the will of the people.
He wanted to pass a measure which would
proclaim to the people that the Government
had at last made through the declaration of
the martyred Lincoln that; this was a gov
ernment of the people, by the people and
for the people.
AN AMENDMENT OFFERED.
Mr Lehlbach, of New Jersey, offered an
amen nsnt providing that the Chief Super
visor c.i : Election for every judicial district
shall take such action as is requisite to se
cure such supervision in each Congressional
district as is provided by the laws of the
United States. He stated that the object of
his amendment was to make the law uni
form throughout the whole country. If it
was desirable to control Congressional elec
tions by the National Government, let it be
applied to every district in this country
alike.
Mr. Cheadle, of Indiana, was iu favor of
the amendment. With one or two excep
tions there was not a Republican constitu
ency in the country which was so greatly
suppressed as was the Republican constitu
ency of theState of Indiana. If the Repub
lican party would adhere to the leading
issues of the day which were pressing for
consideration it would obtain the Fifty
second Congress under existing law. If he
voted for this measure he wanted it to be
applicable to the district which he repre
sented. Mr. Mills, of Texas, said his Republican
friends reminded him of the Prohibitionist
in Texas who drank himself but wanted the
law enforced against the Irish and the
negro. The Republicans wanted this bill to
apply only to the Irish and the negro, y,,
FIVE MINUTE SPEECHES.
Mr. Clarke, of Alabama, spoke against
the bill, and portrayed the evils of negro
domination in the South.
Mr. Allen, of Michigan, emphatically up
held the doctrine that every man who was
entitled to the right of suffrage should be at
liberty to cast his ballot as he listed, and
have that ballot fairly counted.
Mr. McRae, of Arkansas, opposed the bill
as being unconstitutional, unnecessary, par
tisan and sectional.
Mr. Raines, of New York, said super
vision was necessary in New York.
Mr. Mutchler, of Pennsylvania, said this
was tbe last resort of the Republican party

Messrs. Moore and Hare, of Texas, op
posed tbe bill, the former as a case of too

ground that experience showed that in

M-MFrauk, of Missouri, from his personal

He was opposed to the bill in its present

Mr. Maish, of Pennsylvania, declared

Mr. O'Neill, of Indiana, opposed the bill

rSFECIAL TELEdHAlI TO TIIE DISPATCH.
New York, June 30. Representatives
of seven concerns engaged in the importa
tion of plate glass met in this city to-day
and effected an organization for business
under the style "The German Looking
Glass Plate Company." The firms repre
sented are said to control a total
capitalization of 510,000,000. They are
as follows: Bendit Drey & Co., Semon,
Bache & Co., S. Binswanger & Co., Van
vorne, Griffen & Co., Albert Arnstein &
Co.. Sigmund Cohen, all of this city, and
Hills, Turner & Co., of Boston. The new
enterprise has been incorporated at a
capitalization of 5500,000 with the privilege
of increasing the amount whenever in
creased importations render snch a step
advisable. Operations will begin to-day at
Nos. 108 to 114 Wooster street where, also,
will be the office of Bendit, Drey & Co.
These officers were elected at the meeting
to-day: S J. Bache, President; Max Drey,
First Vice President; Siegfried Binswanger,
Second Vice President; Albert Arnstein,
Secretary; Benjamin Griffen, Treasurer.
Sigmund Cohen and Edwin Hills, who with
the foregoing, constitute the directory. ,
The members of the various firms enter,
the new company individually, so that the
private business of each concern represented
will not be directly involved, but it is
understood that the corporation will assume
the functions of agent for all of them, so
that a considerable percentage in the cost of
importation will be saved. Mr. Drey said
that there would be no attempt to(increase
the prices of plate glass, the object of the
association, beside economy in management,
being to bring about a more general use of
German looking-glass iu this country.
Ninety-five per cent of the looking-glass
plate made in Germany comes from Fuerth,
BaVaria. It is the gossip of the trade, and
not contradicted by members of the corpor
ation, that the Fuerth manufacturers are
directly interested in the combination, and
have agreed to sell no looking-glass plate to
American dealers except.' through the com
bination, as their agent-'

ABOUT THE HELIGOLAND MATTEE.
Pertinent Information Sought, Which Bis

French Feasants Acrms lbs Frontier Fired Upon By a
German Soldier.
Lord Rosebery, in the House of Commons,
asked Lord Salisbury for fuller informa tioa
about the Heligoland deal, and .what
preparations had been made for' caring for
the inhabitants of the island. His Lordship
replied that the Government would explain
the agreement in the .mure.
London, June 30 In the House of
Lords to-day Lord Rosebery asked whether
the Government would assist the inhabitants
of Heligoland who desired to remain Brit
ish subjects to settle in other parts of the
British possessions, and whether the
right of fortifying the island would
be restricted. He had been told that
the procedure necessary to ascertain the
views of the islanders was alien to English
usages, but the cession of territory was also
alien to English usages. He hoped the
Government would carefully consider the
wishes of the people, which, it was alleged,
tended in one direction. It wonld be
A SLUE UPON THE REPUTATION
of Lord Salisbury if he handed over the
island to foreign sway without affording
protection to the inhabitants. Making all
allowances for the reticence which a Min
ister of Foreign Affairs must show. Parlia
ment was still entitled to further informa
tion. Lord Salisbury's dispatch referred
to the Sultanate of Zanzibar as being
given in exchange for the Island of Heligo
land, but it was not the same Sultanate
that Lord Salisbury found upon entering
office. He hoped the Foreign Minister
would soon make a full statement on the
subject.
Lord Salisbury replied that he was not
aware that the Chancellor of the Exchequer
had any funds which could be used to en
able the islanders to settle in other parts of
the Empire, Moreover, he did not think
that such a measure would be in conformity
with the wishes of the inhabitants.
PROTECTION PROVIDED.
Every security had been taken to protect
their interests, and he had done his best to
ascertain their wishes, although he had not
taken a pebiscite. The Government would
not suggest a limit to Germany's rights in
regard to tbe fortification of the islands. It
was a rule of the Foreign Office not to dis
cuss matters in Parliament until the negotia
tions had been concluded.
As soon as the convention with Germany
was signed it would be necessary to give
Parliament full information regarding the
agreement, and to explain at length the
policy of the Government. He denied that
the convention htd caused any decrease in
the prestige and power of the Sultanate ol
Zannbar.

Paris, June 30. Upon his arrival to

a small Western railway omnibus,
into which he was followed by five
policemen. The .prisoner appeared to
be greatly dejected. He looked aged and
thin, and his clothing was ragged and dirty.
The crowd that had gathered at the station
showed great eagerness to catch a elimpse
of the murderer as he was hurried to the
van.
Eyraud was driven first to the prefecture
of police where certain formalities were
gone through, after which he was taken
away to prison.

FOTra DEATHS FROM LIGHTNING.
One of tho Most Destructive Storms on
Kccord at Colombo.
rSrECIAL TELKOBASt TO TMK DISPATCH.
Columbus, June 30. Columbus and
vicinity were visited by a shower of thunder
bolts at an early hour this evening, which
dealt destruction to life and property. At 6
P. M. there was an artillery ot thunder
which came from low clouds,
and drove nervous people to
cover and fear. The rain came in torrents
and filled the streets from enrb to curb.
Steeples were knocked down, trees riddled
by lightning, chimneys knocked from houses
and flag poles shattered. The first death re
ported was on Easttown street, where a
bricklayer named Stnltz,who was on his way
home froui work, bad stopped beneath a
maple tree for shelter. About the same
time the house of Wilson Wise on the
west side was struck. The family were just
going out to supper. Willis Wise, aged 19,
was passing through a door when he was
struck and instantly killed. A daughter
was badly injured and two grandchildren
shocked so badly that it is doubtful if they
recover. The house was badly torn by the
bolt.
West of the city a farmer named Andrew
Feathers and a Mrs. Messmer were riding
along a pike in a large wagon when they
were struck and killed instantly. There are
reports of other deaths from the current in
the vicinity, but the particulars have not
been learned nor the reports verified.
ACCEPTED THE C0MPE0MISE.
Tbo Lottery Question Will Go to tho Peoplo
This Fall.
rSPECIAI. TEXIGIIAM TO THE DISPATCH.!,
New Orleans, June 30. The lottery
question has been settled as far as the Legis
lature is concerned. The opponents of the
lottery finding themselves beaten in both
Houses agreed to-day to the following com
promise proposition, which was accepted by
the company. The lottery bill which has
passed the House and is be'ore the Senate is
to be passed without obstruction, the State
accepting 51,250,000 a year for the lottery
privilege. The compromise agreed on
to-day, is that a primary election
i3 to be held some day, not
yet agreed on, at which only whites shall
vole on this question, either in favor of ac
cepting the lottery company's offer or
against it. If a majority favors the propo
sition the antis are to withdraw all oppo
sition and let the amendment go through in
1892; if a majority is against it tbe lottery
comDany will withdraw its offer and leave
the State when its charter expires.
The compromise takes the lottery question
out of the next State election, where it was
feared that it would split the Democratic
party and cause great confusion, and sub
mit tbe matter not to the whole vote of the
State, but to the white voters alone.
FOR S"WEET CHARITY'S SAKE.
Iiiberal Contributions Coming In for the Re
lief of the Farm IIIII Minors.
SPICIAL TELEOBAJI TO THE DISPATCH.
Scottdale, June 30. Conspicuous
among the contributions for the wives and
families of the entombed Hill Farm miners,
is tbe gift of the Methodist Church of this
place. Yesterday, the Rev. Dr. Connor,
pastor of the church, made an elegant ap
peal for liberal contributions, and 5108 25
were collected. The members had not been
previously notified, and consequently went
unprepared. This is a sample of Scottdale's
sympathy for the bereaved families. The
Rev. Connor's will collect more money, and
deliver it to the Relief Committee
Wednesday. The sum will certainly reach
several hundred dollars. William Bush,
of Dawson, has solicited 680 for the suffer
ers, and 550 has been raised at Scott Haven.
It is understood that another company has
sent 5600 to John B. Frisbee, of Connells
ville, the Treasurer of the Citizens' Relief
Fund.
An appeal will he made to the Finance
Committee of Johnstown for a portion of
the 550,000 remaining after the families of
the flood victims had been supplied. It is
said that the labor officials are now prepar
ing the appeal. It is argued that the
money could not be devoted to a better purpose.

mine. The air draws strongly into the
opening. Nobddy has yet gone in. Tho
drill has pierced the difference about eight
feet. This will be cut through in two hours
and at midnight six brave men will be
ready to go into the dark chambers.
Since the drill broke through into the
burniug mine the word ha3 not been cir
culated at all. Nobody knows it here and
nobody knows it near the mine. Since 920,
when the drill went through, there has been
great suppressed excitement. Four men who
are on the inside believe at this moment
that they may find some of the 32 men
alive. There will doubtless be great ex
citement in thi3 neighborhood to-morrow
when the condition of affairs is known.

JT.OII A STATP COKBISrOSDET.t
Dunbae, June,30. Having missed tha
two outer chambers of the Hill Farm mine,
the inspectors decided at 8 o'clock this fore
noon to change their conrse. At that hour
an angle of about 30 degrees was taken to
the left, and this angle ought to lead into au
old room during the night.
Mr. Call, the voung engineer in charge of
the work, say3 that if the map is correct n
room will be struck to-night; however, ha
has lost all confidence in Boyd's map. Tha
impression is prevailing here to-day that tha
engineers have made an error in running;
the slopes, and that the maps do not fit
together right. The general understanding
was that there was only 60 feet between the
property line on the Mahoning side and tho
nearest chamber in tbe F.irm Hill mine.
Boyd says to-day that this distance is twice
60 leet.
FAITH THAT THE JIEK ABE LITISO.
The miners have been working hard all
day. They believe, although the inspectors
and bosses do not, that the men are alive,
and as they go in on each shift they encour
age one another to do their utmost. Most
or the miners'working here are Welshmen,
and they are great believers in the longevity
of tbe men below the surface. To-night tha
situation at the Hill Farm mine is just
about what it was last night. The only dif
ference is that the workers are ahead of tha
place where they had cut last night.
At this hour, 11 o'clock, the workers say
that the drill ought to go into a chamber
of the Hill Farm mine within three hours.
Relief lor the families comes in slowly.
To-day Treasurer Parker received 5103
from the Methodist Church at Scottdale.
Much mure money has been subscribed, but
it has not been sent in.
NOT TASTED 1'OOD IK TEX DATS.
The families ol the men who are buried
below have given up hope. Your corre
spondent was to-night talking with Mr.
Delaney, a gentleman of 60 years, whose
Bon is in the mine. He said, "I don't be
lieve any of the boys are living. It can't
be that they have lasted until this time.
If they conld live on this lood this long,
they can live as long as I can. I have not
eaten a bite since ten days ago and I havo
tried to sleep, but can't. I can't eat at tha
table. I look at Tommy's place every tima
I sit down and have to get up. The lood
sticks in my mouth."
At 8 o'clock this evening there were little
groups of people standing on the hillside
looking down toward the mine.
There are four women. Two are clad in
black, one is weeping. At time3 she clears
her eyes, puts her band upon her compan
ion's shoulder and looks toward the mine.
Then she goes crying again and weeps upon
her companion's arm. Her husband 13
below. She does not hope ever to see him.
Like nearly all the other women she has
lost hope, but desires to see his body. Thera
are people here who believe that the buried
men may still live, but such as believe that
are those who suffer the most.
THE BEATE INSPECTORS.
When the story of this Dunbar disaster it
all written, if it ever be, too much praise
cannot be given to the six faithful inspect
ors who have come here from all tbe bitum
inous districts, and have risked their lives
by going down into the cut before the hourly
expected break. Much credit must be given,
to Inspectors KeTghley, Evans and King.
They have worked early and late. TJnfor
tunately one ot the sou coal inspectors ha3
not appeared here at all. This one is In
spector James N". Patterson, of Tioga
county.
Inspectors Evans and King came up from
the face at 8 o'clock to-night. They say
that the drill shows no sound of breaking
through. Old miners can tell by the way
the drill sounds whether they are within
six feet of a chamber. This,, fact will reas
sure people who believe that the first or seov
ond room may have been missed by two or
three feet.
