Herlin, Sept 6. The conferences which
have taken place between the I'zar and
the Kmperor and their accompanying
Russian and t.erman diplomats, which
at tlrst were alleged to be devoid of
anything more Important than mere
ceremonial conversations ure now- re
rxuted to have taken the character of
initiating a new concert of the powers
which Is to have u bearing of the ut
most Importance iipun the future events
In Turkey. It Is not known definitely
who originated the proposal but It Is,
however, a matter of positive knowledge
In lierllu that Prince Hohenlohe, the
imperial Chancellor and Count Von
Osten-Sacken, the Russian ambassador
to Oerniany, are discussing a plan the
purpose of which Is to pluce the Sultan
under the tutelage of the ambassadors
of the powers In Constantinople, who
will be empowered to control the Sul
tan's selection of ministers and also his
appointments of provisional governors.
The settlement of the troubles In Crete
upon the basis of Kuropean supervis
ion ttppears to have been the key note
of this scheme, which at least would
maintain the nominal Integrity of Tur
key ami for a time enable the powers
to escape being dragged Into a Ku
ropean war over the division of the
spoils of the Ottoman empire. Practi
cally the foreign ambassadors are al
ready treating Turkey as a government
existing wholly upon sufferance, but
they do not take the responsibilities
which might to be assocluted with the
situation, (inly the bare proposals have
been heard of outside of the circle which
is rorinulutlng the scheme, but the plan
Is doubtless full of difficulties In the way
of Its working smoothly. fine thing
however, is certain, and that Is that
both the entourage of the Kals.'r and
that of the Czar are convinced that they
can no longer rest content upon mere
diplomatic remonstrances lo the Porte
and it is well understood that family
Influences upon the Czar at Copen
huReu and similar Influences upon the
Kaiser at Mahnoral have become insist
ent beyond precedent in favor of an ef
fective stoppage of horrors in Turkey
ami these, iullucliccs It Is believed limy
huvf been the most potent of all In de
termining', the two emperors upon the
course which il is now proposed to pur
sue. I lpoinalie advices received from
Constaui luople are such as lo cause
well grounded fears here that very
much worse things than have already
occurred in Constantinople may hap
pen in that city before the ambassa
dor are able to arrange for armed in
tervention to suppress disorders, lluit
the sultan's palace clique, learning
that the sultan's reigti is about to
cease, may organise o massacre upon
a very much larger scale Hum hereto
fore and which will Involve many oth
er persons than Armenians as Its vic
tim. CAl'SK OF liIHCONTKNT.
'JMi,. report that the British, French
iiuil Italian warships hi Turkish wat-
;4ern have been reinforced, while the
(iermaii warships have not, have ex
cited a widespread feeling of discon
tent which Is belli;; freely expressed
In the newspapers regardless of their
political blus. Despite the activity of
the other powers in augmenting their
naval strength in Turkish waters the
admiralty of (iennany have up to this
time taken no steps to increase the
strength and number of the lieruian
war vessels there, but now, apparent
ly Midcd by the utterances of tliO
press Into doing something, they have
now ordered the training ship Cheit
enitu to Smyrna, and the gunboat Kr
salss to replace the old and worn out
l.oreley on the Cmstantinople station.
These measures are extremely poor,
indeed little better than none at all. if
leimatiy is to llgure In the interven
tion of the jiowers in front of Con
stantinople, v
The fetes at Preslau in honor of the
Caar and Czarina bear a close resem
blance to all of the preceding demon
strations of the kind. The streets of
the town are thronged with people
who cheer in season and out and per
sistently press upon the long lines of
troops which occupy the bonier of the
streets to keep the crowd from impell
ing; the progress of the imperial visit
ors us they pass. The heat yesterday
and today was intense and served to
Increase the general discomfort of the
people. It was originally intended that
the Czar and Czarina with their suites
should occupy the royal castle, but the
F.mperor's court marshal, who hns In
charge the arrangements, found that
the castle would be too small for both
of the imperial visitors and their at
tendants, so the new house of the
Silesian Landtag, In course of erection,
was hurriedly ordered to be completed
within the three weeksremalnlng prior
to the reception of the Czar. Accord
ingly a force of eight hundred work
men were employed night and day in
genius the building and Its approach
es in a passably lit condition and it
was) only on Friday, the clay before the
Czar's arrival, that they ceased work.
A representative of the United Asso
ciated Presses who was permitted to In
spect the Interior of the building on Fri
day found a dominant sense of newness
everywhere and the raw odors of new
wood, paint, etc., pervaded tho place.
Still, the Imperial apartments were gor
geous with tapestries, pictures, etc.,
which had been transferred to the build
ing from the royal palaces of Prussia
and ' presented a beautiful spectacle.
The grand reception room, which was
constructed within the central hall, was
adorned with statuary and tropical
plants.
THE CZAR'S COOLNESS.
The few words spoken by the cxar in
responding to the emperor's toast at the
banquet laRt evening are regarded In
ofllcial circles as having been lacking in
warmth and as a purely perfunctory
recognition of the traditional senti
ments existing between the imperial
houses of (iennany and Kussia. The
fact, too, that he replied In the French
language instead of the (iernian, with
which he is asfamiliarasthe kulser him
self, is construed by the officials as hav
ing been intended as a check. to Ger
many's aims ut closer relations with
Kussia.
Last evening sixty cases of fractured
limbs were treated at the hosoital on
the (iranduu parade grounds and in the
Hed Cross stations, us u result of the
crush of spectators to witness the pa
rade, on Friday nlRht over a hundred
similar enseg were treated in the vari
ous hospitals In this city.

any Increase In his following. It only
shows u more general interest in the
issues of this campaign. 1 have no
misgivings about the east not going

to curry Texas If the harmony plan
among the Republican factions noes
through and the proposed fusion with
the Populists carries. A party of

that he would drive to Zoar. Mrs. Mc
Kinley will jto with him, and probably
Captain und Mrs. Helstand. Captain
Helstand is an officer in the regular
army, who Is devoted to Major Mc
Kinley and who, at the latter's re
quest, is acting us his confidential sec
retary during his leave of absence.
Mujor McKinley does not expect to re
main longer than two or three days in
Zoar, us he has to receive more dele
gation the latter part of this week.
LA IJCJK DKLKOATIONS.
Delegations are coming In large num
bers from nil parts of the country and
no days go by without bringing letters
of inquiry respecting dates for proposed
vihlts. Major McKinley said to the cor
respondent of the I'nited Associated
Presses today that he Is always exceed
ingly glad to have delegations come to
Canton to see him, but It would be more
convenient, In inany ways, if it could be
arranged to have not more than two
parties of visitors arrive on the same
day. Delegations which contemplate
coming to Canton should try to arrange
the time of their coming so as not to
bring visitors from too many places
here on the same day. This can be done
by telegraphing? to Canton, and ascer
taining what dutes are open.
Tuesday will be an Interesting day
here. The editors of Ohio hold the an
nual meeting; of their association in
Canton. They are to be addressed by
Charles Emory Smith and other news
paper editors. They will ulso call upon
Major McKinley and lie will make a
speech to them. This will make the
third editorial association to cull on Mr,
McKinley since his riomiiiutloii. The
others were the Michigan and West Vir
ginia associations.
OOV, KKADIiKY IN CANTON,
flovernnr lirndley, of Kentucky made
Major McKinley a brief call last night.
He was accompanied by Colonel W. L.
Hazllp of Lakeland. Col. J. C. Hryan t of
Ashland. Col. Wilbur Smith of Lex
ington, members of his stuiT, and his
private secretary, F. 11. Roberts of
Frankfort. The party hud been attending
a meeting of the Tippecanoe Club at
Cleveland, and the visit here was purely
social.
To a reporter llnv. llradley suid lie
thought there was no doubt but. that
McKinley will carry Kentucky. He ex
pects the plurality to be between twen
ty und twenty-live thousand. He ulso
expressed the belief thut the Republi
cans will curry West Virginia nnd
Maryland and is very hopeful of Ten
nessee. He attributed the crowds at
tracted by Hryan to the desire to see u
free circus without cost. He thinks
Hryan will be the worst beaten man
since Horace (ireeley. The people, he
says, are beginning lo understand the
silver quest ion, and the better they un
derstand It the worse il Is for Hryan
and his cause.
. MURDERERS LYNCHED.
Indignant Citizens nl Minnesota Show
Their Disapproval ot a Jury's Ver
dict in an Emphatic Manner.
niencoe, Minn., Sept. 6. At two min
utes after one o'clock this morning
Charles Clngmnrs and Dorman Mus
grove, who murdered Sheriff Rogers In
June, was hanged to the railroad
bridge less than a quarter of a mile
out of town, (ine of the men was hanged
from the north side of the bridge amt
the other from the south side. The deed
wus done by loo eltizensof McLeod coun
ty, who thus expressed their disap
proval of yesterday's verdict that Mus
BTOve be confined to the state prison
for life instead of being sent to the
gallows. The murder was a cold blooded
one, Musgrove deliberately shooting the
sheriff to death when the latter tried to
put the two men under arrests for a
comparatively trilling offence. A lynch
ing would have occurred at that time
but for the prompt action of Governor
CloURh, who sent out a company of
militia from St. Paul just as the hang
ing was about to come off. The prisoners
were immediately taken to St. Paul and
rut In Jail there.
The trial of the two men for murder
In' the first degree opened here about
two weeks ago with W.W. Erw in. a well
known St. Paul lawyer, for the defense.
Krwin moved for separate trials and the
case of Musgrove was taken up first.
The trial closed on Thursday and at one
o'clock Friday morning the Jury re
turned a verdict of murder in the second
degree after being out eight hours. This,
together with the fact that Clngmnrs'
trial would have to occur in another
county owing to the difficulty of secur
ing a jury, Incensed a large portion
of the community. The mob came quiet
ly uisin the jail, overpowered the turn
key and guards and by means of a
sledge hnmmer soon had custody of the
men within. .

Reno, Nev., Sept. 6. At the Populist
state convention yesterday the St. Louis
l at form was indorsed and the proceed
lnrwere harmonious throughout.
