The McKinley Sweep.
The great popular sentiment for Gov
ernor McKinley as the standard-bearer
of the country's return to Republicanism,
prosperity and progress is becoming al
together resistless. What was a power
ful current a month ago is now a ver
itable whirlwind. Its mighty sweep sur
prises even the most sanguine friends of
the great Protection leader.
The Illinois Convention is decisive.
It unanimously instructs for McKinley.
After a strenuous struggle of two days
and after fair defeat on a fair trial the op
ponent* of instruction gracefully yielded
and joined in giving McKinley the solid
voice and vote of the State. Bear m
mind they were not opponents of McKin
ley—he had no opponents. They were
only opponents of instruction. They fav
ored Cullom as a State candidate for a
complimentary vote, and then they were
for McKinley, like the rest. But the ma
jority were not for wasting any time or
Any votes on empty compliments. 1 hey
were in dead earnest for McKinley, first
and last, and when on a direct test thej
showed a clear majority of 300 the minor
ity joined in making the instruction# 'or
McKinley.
The moral effect of this potent demon
stration, following on the heels of \ er
mont; will be incalculable. The Illinois
convention was the last entrenchment of
the anti-McKinley combination. Its cap
ture leaves no hopeful fighting ground.
McKinley already had nearly two-thirds
of the district delegates of Illinois. Sen
ator Cullom, highly respected and emi
nently worthy as be is, had not been able
to hold his State against the predominant
and irresistible sentiment for the great
leader who typifies to the popular mind
the ideas and principles which they want
embodied in administration. A candi
date for President, however meritorious
in himself, who lost a majority of his
State delegates could not well remain in
the field, no matter what his State Con
tention might do. But when that body
follows the districts in declaring for the
pre-eminent national candidate, it finally
disposes of the State movement and ab
sorbs it in the great national sweep.
It is now plain that Governor McKin
ley will have all of the Northern States
e icept lowa, a part of Pennsylvania, a
part of New York, a part of New Eng
land, and two or three inconsequential
ailver camps, and in all of these sections
where he is not the first choice, he is un
deniably the second choice. This is say
ing nothing of the South, where he has
more votes than any other candidate. It
is not partisanship which recognizes this
truth, but simply observation. What is
there left to do?— Philadelphia Press.
JAPAN, as current despatches show, is
close to its after-war panic. War always
brings an apparent prosperity, as it has
in Japar As the currency has
been inflated, prices have gone up and
wages have advanced, though less than
prices. The Chinese indemnity, which
might have prolonged war prosperity if
expended in Japan, is being expended in
London. The transaction is simple.
China has sold $160,000,000 bonds in
Burope in two installments of SBO,OOO, 000.
The bankers who buy these bonds—to
•ell again—deposit credits in the Bank of
England. These credits are transferred
to Japan. Japan transfers tbem to deal
ers in arms and ironclads. No money
changes hands. There is simply another
expansion of the international credits on
which Europe is now doing business and
banking. Japan, therefore, makes no
•uch gain as did Germany when the
"milliards" were spent there. Much of
the Japanese expansion will shrivel uuuer
the touch of panic.
THE revenues of Pennsylvania amount
to over twelve million dollars last year,
•n income that many nations do not ex
ceed. Nearly one-third of this, or over
three and a half millions, was from taxes
on corporation stock, nearly a million 011
corporation loans, over half a million
from tax on bank stocks, an almost equal
•mount from foreign insurance compan
ies nearly two and a third millions from
tax on personal property, over half a mil
lion from mercantile license and nearly
MS much from wholesale liquor licenses,
etc. The amount of conscience money
refunded, $36.24, might l>e taken to in
dicate that the State had not been de
frauded of very much, but it is possible
that this is not the whole amount that
thonld figure in this item.
IT is announced that President Cleve
land has engaged another corps of detec
tives to act as his bod ?-guard. Of what
mm he be afraid? It is true that he has
recently been roundly berated by some
prominent Democrats; but it is impossi
ble to believe that even Vest or Tillman
can wish to do him bodily harm.
FOUR women delegates have been el
ected to the Methodist general confer
ence. They will of course seek admis
sion and that body will have to dispose
of the question whether it will recognize
woman representatives. One of the wo
men delegates comes all the way from
Foo Chow, in China.
California went for McKinley yester
day and Indiana will today.
The Illinois Convention.
Illinois is for McKinley. The party
leaders were defeated in the crucial test
last Thursday and the Republican dele
gates-at-large to the national convention
at St. Louis were instructed to vote for
the Ohioan for President, which instruc
tions were, after the third vote made un
animous.
The final result was reached by the
State Republican Convention after a
most exciting contest. The fight be
tween the Illinois machine and the fol
lowers of William McKinlsy came up for
settlement in the convention at 4 o'clock
It developed immediately after the nom
ination of Aiken for Attorney General.
The Cullom men started the parlamenta
rv combat even before the announcement
'of the vote. This was done by sending
| forward Senator I'uller of Boone, who
presented the following resolution;—
' Resolved, That delegates to lie elect
ed by this convention to the national con
vention be and they are hereby instruct
ed to present to the said national conven
tion the name of the Hon. Shelby M.
Cullom for President."
Great confusion followed this unex
pected move on the part of the State or
ganization. The Cook county crowd led
the cheering. Calhoun, the McKinley
leader, rose to combat the resolution and
was cheered loudly. He asked if oppor
tunity - would be given to amend the reso
lution later. On the chairman answer
ing in the affirmative Mr. Calhoun re
sumed his seat. Mr. Fuller proceeded to
speak on beludf of the Cullom resolution.
His speech lasted five minutes and was
followed by a round of applause. S. 11.
Bethea moved to amend and submit the
name of McKinley. Pandemonium
broke loose. Tliree-fourths of the dele
gates rose to their feet and sent up a
mighty roar of approval. Again and
again it rose, and finally settled into a
long continuous thunder of cheers and
yells, before which Chairman Berry and
the Cullom leaders were powerless. Mr.
Berry repeatedly hammered his table.
but his feeble taps were as nothing.
When order was restored W. J. Cal
houn got the floor and proceeded to sec
ond the amendment substituting the
name of McKinley for that of Cullom.
His every remark elicited round after
round of deafening applause. When Mr.
Calhoun finished the greatest demonstra
tion of the convention broke forth in
praise of McKinley. For several min
utes the shouting continued. Alderman
Madden tried to break in with a resolu
tion that gave Allison and Reed pats on
the back. A laugh ran around the hall
and half the delegates shouted "No,"
Ex-Attorney George Hunt spoke for Mc-
Kinley instructions, and then Mr. I ul
ler replied and moved the previous ques
tion. Judge Messick, for the Cullom
ites, moved to lay all pending questions
on the table. Mr. Calhoun opposed this
and was supported by the delegates.
Chairman Berry sustained Messick's
position, adding:—
"Those who desire to instruct will
vote no; those who do not will vote aye."
The rcll call began under the greatest
excitement. In the first fifteen minutes
the counties gave McKinley 82 votes to
41 for the opposition. Chicago ward
delegations followed the same plan that
they did in voting on Secretary of State.
As a rule the men who bolted Rose, the
machine section for that office, voted
"No" on the motion to table and were
loudly cheered by their friends of the
county. The country delegates shouted
enthusiastically "No" to the Messick
plan of evasion. Kane threw her solid
27 delegates for McKinley instructions
and the crowd went wild and yelled
again and again, when Lake, which had
backed up the machine slate until now,
gave 10 negative votes. La Salle plump
ed 27 votes for McKinley and Lee and
Livingston came forward with 12 and 13.
The result of the vote was I'or instruc
tions, 846; against instructions, 489. Mr.
Fuller got the floor ami said Senator
Cullom wished to have the amendment
instructing the delegates for McKinley
adopted. The convention again went
crazy with enthusiasm. The fight ended
in a blaze of victory for McKinley. Mr.
Madden moved that instructions be
made by acc'amation and this was carried
by storm. When the convention assembl
ed that morning there was nothing to in
dicate such a victory for the McKinley
people.
Crushed by Garcia,
The Spaniards sustained one of the most
crushing defeats of the war near the Kiver
Cauto, in the province of Santiago de Cu'a
last week Advices from Santiago state
that out of 3,000 Spaniard* engaged 700
were either killed or wounded.
The Spanish column was lead Gen
eral Munzo. and General Calixto Garcia,
the veteran, who recently la.ided in Cu a
from the United States, commanded the
insurgents. Garcia, who has been given
command of the Department oi the East
by General Gomez, was moving westward
with a small force, intending to cross the
Cauto river, near the town ot Zanja.
General Munoz, who was stationed at
Manaanillo, learned of Garcia ?> movements
and determined to force him to battle at
the river, Munoz accordingly marched to
ward Zanza with 3000 infantry, and order
ed gunboats to proceed up the river to co
operate "with the land forces.
General Gaiica, learning that Munzo
was advancing in force, effected a junction
with the columns of Kabi and Maia Uodri
gues, the latter < fficen' forces hurrying
from Camaguey. This junction gave
Garcia nearly 3500 men, whom he posted
in an advantageous position some miles
below Zanja, and waited the coming ot
Munoz.
The Spanish General advanced carele.u
ly, and almost before ho knew the enemy
was near the head of his column was hot
ly engaged with a pari of the insurgent
army, lead by Garcia and Kodrigues. At
the same time Uabi's column struck the
Spaniards in flank, doubling them up on
the river.
Caught between two tires the Spaniards
huddled on the river bauk in terror. The
insurgent fire was so deadly ttiat many ot
the Spaniards, trying to escape, leaped in
to the river and were drowned. General
Munoz lost his head entirely aud the des
truction of his entire column was imminent,
when the gunboats that had been ordered
to co-operate with the land force appeared
The gunboats covered the remnants of
the Sp tnish column and guve the officers
an opportunity toreiorui the routed men.
The Cubans fought with great gallantry
and were auxious to charge this Spanish
troops even after the latter were covered
by the gunboats, but General Garica
would not permit this.
The Spaniards retreated down the river
to Mauzaniilo, never ouce venturing out of
cover of the gunboats, a:id leaving their
dead and many of the wounded behind.
It is said thot 300 Spaniards were kilhd
by the bullets of the insurgents or Wv*ro
drowned, and that over 400 hundred were
wounded. The insurgents fought lrom
advantageous po-itions and their loss was
small. After the battle General Garcia
crossed the Caut<s and is now advancing
towards the west.

Assassination of the Shah of Persia
While visiting a shnne near the city of
Teheran, last Friday afternoon, the Shall
of Persia was shot l>y a man disguised as
a woman. The assassin fired point blank
at his breast, and the bullet entered in
the region of his heart, and he died with-
in a short time thereafter.
Affairs in Persia have been in a l>a<l
way for a long time. There was wide
spread discontent with the Shah's rule,
based chief!v on the allegation that he
was subservient to European influence.
Of tlik discontent tl:e priests were the
chief promoters. Indted, the whole
priesthood of the empire was hostile to
the Shah, and its hostility was scarcely
disguised. Before he came to the throne
the priests were all-powerful in state as
well as church, but lie had greatly dimin
ished their power and largely freed the
Civil Government from their control.
For this they hated him and also for his
introduction ol various European reforms
and his negotitions with European pow-
ers.
So for, indeed, had their enmity towan
him proceeded that they omitted fron
the ritual of th: mosques the Khutben
or prayer fcr the Shah, and they actual 1.
announced the appearance of the Twelitl
Imam. This latter personage is the Ion;
expected Mahdi, or Mohammedan Mes
si lh, who is to sweep all unbelievers fron
the face of the earth and make the Tru.
Faith universal. He had arisen, the;
said, at Samara, near Bagdad, and was
known to men &s Mo,lah Hadji Mirz.
Hassan Shirrzi. All the priests avowe:
allegiance to him, and so did many ot th<
civil dignitaries of the Persian court, in
eluding even the Minister of Aar. 1 rinc<
Naib-es-Sultaneh, who is the Shah's thin
son. Nor was it without ominous impor
that the appearance of this Mahdi fol
lowed close upon the proclamation of th<
Russian Czar as Emperor of Central Asu
and his formal recognition of Mohamine
danism as the established religion of tha
portion of his realm.
Nasr-ed-Din, Shah of Persia, was bori
April 24, 1529, and succeeded to thi
throne on September 10, IS4B, on tin
death of his father. He was crowned a
Teheran, October 20, iB4S, and his \a
lialid, or heir-apparent, is his eldest son
Muzaf-er-ed-Din, was born March 25
1852, and who has four sons and fifteei
daughters.
Nasr-ed-Din, although only with tin
title cf Shah of Shahs, or Monarch o
Persia, dignified himself King of Kings
He was a son of Mohammed Shall, an<
the fourth of the dynasty of Kadjar, ;
Turkoman tribe, which gained absoluti
control of Persia near the end of the las
centurj. .
He leaves a somewhat considerable tam
ily of six sons, fifteen daughters and i
harem believed to contain upwards of •
hundred occupants, only four of whom
however, are recognized by the Moliam
medan law as wives.
Little was known of the Shah in tin
western worid until the first of his thre*
visits to Europe. When the Shah lef
Teheran in 1 573 to visit European capi
tals, he took with him an enormous fol
lowing of princes of the blood, minis
tcrs. cooks, pipe bearers, executioners
palace guards, eunuchs, and a few of hi
wives. The last named, however, accoin
panied him only as far as Moscow, fo
when it was intimated to the Czarina tlia'
she would be expected to entertain lial
a dozen Saltanas. she announced that sli<
would either go abroad or declare hersel
ill and invisible throughout the Shah':
sojourn at St. Petersburg. He finalli
shipped them all back to Teheran.
A characteristic incident occurred w liei
he was taking leave of the Czar. Afte:
thanking the latter for his magnified!
hospitality, the Shah of Shah's said:
"I have noticed the way in which yoi
govern this great country. I am wel
satisfied with it, You may continue t<
govern it, for you do so very well, and
am entirely pleased with you."
Then he stepped aboard a railway train
leaving the Czar on the piatform, trans
fixed with astonishmen..
111 Berlin the Shah's conduct was so in
tolerable that old Kaiser Willielm witl
drew from the festivities on a plea of in
disposition and refused to see his I'ersiai
guest again. The Empress Augusta wa.'
put to great endurance in entertaining
the visitor.
One evening he occupied a box at tin
opera with the Empress and Princess
Kail. Whenever he wished to attract tin
Empress' attention he would clutch hei
bare arm as if it was a saber hilt. Hav
ing called for a glass of water, he drani
the contents at a gulp and calmly handet
the empty goblet to the Princess Karl tr
dispose of, as if she had b<:en a menial
attendant. Presently he cleared his
throat, once, twice, tlirice, with ever in
creasing vigor, and then, to the horroi
of all around him, deliberately spat intc
the stalls below, which were thronged
with the hereditary and official aristoc
racy of the nation, specially invited by
the Emperor to attend the performance.
The Shah occupied apartments in the
royal palace which had been specially
fitWd up for his reception. On the flooi
were superb carpets and 011 the walls
priceless tapestries. When he left the
rooms were found inconceivably defiled.
On the matchless carpets fowls had been
killed and roasted over braziers of glow
ing charcoal. The rich hangings and the
satin covered upholstery were begrimed
with dirt, and almost covered with grease
stains.
At a grand state banquet in the Shah's
honor in Berlin, whenever he got in his
mouth food not to his taste he coollv re
moved it and placed it in the lap of the
Empress, who sat next to him.
But there was worse in store for his en
tertainers in England. On his arrival
there he was quartered in Buckingham
Palace, and while there sorely tried the
temper ot the Prince of Wales by placing
his hands on the bare shonlders of the
Princess while talking to her.
During his visit he was entertained by
the Duke of Sutherland at his magnifi
cent country seat at Trentham. He af
terwards suggested to the Prince ef Wales
that it would be very advisable to put the
Duke to death, as he was much too pow
erful and wealthy for a subject.
When the Persian visitor left England
it cost $150,000 to render Buckingham
palace liabitable. The slaughter of a
live sheep for sacrificial purposes iu one
of the Queen's daintiest boudoirs was but
one of the most pardonable of the eastern
grandee's offenses. Quantities of disin
fectants had to be used before the palace
attaches would venture to clean up seme
of the rooms occupied by his Persian ma
jesty- . , -
At Paris, where he was received in
great state by President McMalion, he
did somewhat l>etter, but when he left
the country his baggage was stopped 0:1
the French frontier by several Parisian
jewelers, and the Government was com
pelled to pay them for articles he had
bought for the demi-mondaines of the
capital.
At Vienna, where lie was entertained
by the Emperor, Francis Joseph 1., ami
where lie was quartered at the chateau of
Luxemburg, afterward the residence of
the Crown Princess Stephcnie, he got
into serious trouble over a young woman,
whom he treated with gross brutality.
The Persian monarch had developed dur
ing the previous portion of his tour a
strong taste for champagne, and was
staggering aliout in a maudlin state dur
ing the major portion of his stay iu the
Austrian capital.
Nothing was more curious than to
watch the Emperor present some distin -
guished statesman or soldier to his Orien
tal guest. The latter would gaze with
bleary eyes at the personage bowing be
fore him and then with a short, contemp
tuous laugh and twirl of his long mus
tache would leave the unfortunate cour
tier standing there in a state of mingled
indignation and perplexity until the Em
peror steppe'", up and whispered a few
comforting words in his ear.
In 187S the Shah visited Russia and
was accorded a royal reception in all the
principal cities of the empire. In the
summer of 1889 he made his third and
last visit to the courts of Europe. His
conduct was only slightly less reprehen
sible than on the first occasion. But he
was again received, entertained and hon
ored as before. He was accompanied
this time by a state of 70 persons, among
whom was a chaplain, whose sole duty
was to perform for his royal master the
fasts prescribed by the Kora, but which
the Shah was too'much of a glutton to
submit to.
With all his personal faults, as viewed
by Europeans, the Shah was a good sov
ereign, as measured by the standard of
Eastern potentates. He developed the
commerce of Persia with Europe and es
tablished railways, telegraph lines, n pos
tal system and various financial reforms.
It is estimated that the Shah had jewels
valued at $ 100,000,000. The most famous
was a diamond called 'The Sea of Light,
almost as large as the Kolnnoor. His re
galia was unecjualed by that of any other
sovereign, ills imperial crown was top-
I pe«i with the largest ruby in existence.
He had many coats, the fronts of which
I were studded and embroidered with
j jewels. In his treasure room were scores
of jeweled daggers an.l swords.
An attempt was made to assassinate Ilie
late Shah in 1855. Two years before that j
a man named Bab, founder of a religious
' sect called the Babis, was executed by or
! der of the Shall, and his followers sought
vengeance. .
One dav three of them rushed upon 111s
majesty and wounded him. His life was
saved by his quickness and the arrival ot
soldiers, who made prisoners of the as
sasins. They declared themselves Babis,
anil glorified in thetr attempt to avenge
the death of their leader, and to propa
gate their doctrines by the murder of the
Shah.
The baffled criminals were put toaeatti
with great cruelty. Lighted candles were
inserted in slits cut in their living bodies,
and after they had lingered long 111 agony
their tortured frames were hacked to
pieces with hatchets.
To the American missionaries the
Shah's death is a calamity the result of
which may be the forced abandonment
of their work which has taken 60 years
to build.
Not even the Czar of Russia had great
-1 er power, more unlimited control over his
; subjects. He has the power of life and
death in his own hands without question
1 or appeal. The laws of the land are sim
ply his whims, and he can make new
■ statutes each day to suit his temper or
convenience.

GROSVENOR SAYS TUB COSTBST IS ESDED.
General Grosvenor, in speaking of the
McKinley triumph in Illinois, said: The
result is highly gratifying to the friends of
Governor McKinley. By some process of
reasoning it was given out by the oppo
nents of McKinley that if he should win
at Springfield the contest would end in
his favor.
"The stand of the bosses was made in
that Stfcte and their hope was that the tide
could be stopped, checked and turned
back To this end a concentration of the
leading managers of all the opposing can
didates was made in Chicago, aud chey co
operated to head oil the McKinley vote,
and little care was taken to whom the
Tote should go, sc it did not go to Mc-
Kinley.
"Senator Cnllom was appealed to and
be came out and entered thefight. Aud
ti.e machine had secured the COOK County
v 'te for their purpose. Against all this
t ie a.'iny of farmers, the plain people,
ruse and triumphed. The victory means
the end of the contest.
Samuel W. Allerton, who took a promi
nent part iu the Springfield convention,
r. marked recently that a manufacturer of
St. Louis who employed 500 men told him
t iat if any other candidate than McKinley
ware nominated the manufacturer would
Lave to labor with his men to get their
votes, but with McKinley's name at the
h -ad of the ticket no work would be re
quired, as the men would vote for Mc-
Kinley solidly, because they know him
anl want him. This is the secret of this
whole matter. The workinginea, as well
as the manufac'.urors, the farmers, and the
business men generally, want Mr. McKin
ley, and they are going to have him."

He also said that he would remaiu in
the fight, aud as far as he knew, all the
other candidates would do likewise.
