' WANTS TO CONTROL THE 'MACHINE' Our Pottsvlllo Correspondent Furnishes Borne InBlde History, and Shows Wherein Mr. Bruuun Is Making a Mistake. Party Success is Jeopardized. Special HcnAM) Corrcpioudrncr. Pottsville, Aug. 28. Tlio present wcok lias been one of much interest in political circles, and especially so in our own house hold. Tlio reason therefor can bo stated in a fow words, nnd is of interest to the Rcpubll- can voters in so far as it affects tho success of the county tickot in November. There are two factions in tlio party in this county, generally known as tlio nruinm-Coylo and tho Losch-Phlllira factions, each striving to control tho party organization. For tho past year or two tho Congressional-Senatorial com blno have had things their own way and used tho whip when necessary, but their defeat this year has caused them much unrest, hence tho llttlo "unpleasantness." Pilgrimages have been mado to stato head quarter? by tho candidates nnd their friends, and Stato Chairman Elkin has been compelled to listen to their llttlo talo of woe, and to pacify their wounded feelings as only tho political diplomat can, nnd send them home burdened with tho belief that .the future success of tho Republican party lies in the palm of their hands. Each had a different story to tell, and one can easily Imagino tho opinion that the Stnto Chairman has of the averago Schuylkill county politician, and tho manner in which they fulfill the lllhlical in junction, "llrethren, dwell together in harmony." Early in tho week, and provious to tho Phil adelphia pilgrimage, Congressman ISrumm issued a call to tho candidates to meet hero yesterday, anil as a result all, with tho exception of three, Messrs. Kchrink, Rcntz and Wyatt, responded. The latter was detained nt homo by illness in his family, whilo tho other two were out of tho county. The meeting was held behind closed doors in tho parlors of the Merchants' Hotel, nnd I am informed it was an interesting cession, so much so that ono or two grew "eloquent." After deliberating for nearly two hours they adjourned, apparently with tho understanding that nothing that transpired should bo given out for publication, as tho importuning reporters gleaned nothing. However, your corres- pondent acted tho part of an eavesdropper and heard a couvorsatlan by two of those present that put an entirely different aspect upon tho situation from that generally accepted by tho public. Mr. lirumm presented several grievances, and demanded Chairman Edwards' resigna tion, and a chango of tho entire personnel of tho organization. He was sustained in this by but ono other candidate, from north of the mountain. It is said tlio Congressman Is reconciled to Charley Snyder, whoso red hair caused all tho troublo at first. The can didates riifused to accedo to Mr. liruuim's proposition, taking tho view that harmony is preferable to factional lights nt this stage of tho contest, and that their ctlorts should bo exerted for tho success of tho eritiro ticket rather than inviting its defeat. Now as to tho executive eommitteo, which Mr. Urumm objects to. I consider tlio selco tions wlso ones, and tho chairman has dis played the truo qualities of a leader in selecting such men As his lieutenants. In stead of tho eommitteo having been dictated by tho statesman from Schuylkill Haven, the facts tell a very dlllercnt tale. William Neiswenter was selected upon tho recom mendation of Candidates lirumm and Reese; Alexander May, is a county committeeman, and was selected for that reason; (ieorgo I Patterson was tho choico of lirumm, whilo Dr. George It. Mooro was recommended by Ahrcnsflcld. In the Third district Elmer liailey and Frank Kautuer were tho personal choice of Candidate Kcrshner. Mr. lirumm recommended J. F. Faruo and Jacob I.unvick, James Hughes was tho personal seloction of tho county chairman, Candidato Jcnkyn asked forthouppolntmontof Thomas F. Herb, Dr. Dechert requested that ho bo placed on tho committee, and John F. Finuey was the choico of all tho candidates. Mr. llrunim recommends fivo of tho com' mitteu, while four of his colleagues get ono each, and tho other nominees neither ask for nor get ono committeeman. The Congress man, therefore, has llttlo room 'to complain, and Ills assertion that tho eommitteo was set up against him is not borne out by tho facts as given above. our correspondent obtained this information from a reliable source, and it can bo relied upon. When tlio Executive C'ommitteo and tho candidates met hero this morning, in response to n call issued by Chairman Ldwards, Mr, ISrumm again presented his alleged griev ances. After considering the matter in all its bearing, and giving the Congressman n patient hearing, tlio eommitteo and candi dates passed a vote of conlldcncoin tho chair man aud tho organization. It was again shown that all but two of tho executive eom mitteo, which wore tho personal choico of tho chairman, were named by tho candidates, and it was at their iustanco nnd personal bolicitatiou that tho committee was appointed. The quostion naturally urises, what elfect has this factional tight, nnd fot what purpose was it Inaugurated? The last question is moro easily answered than tho first. In deal ing out tho "fruits of victory" tho county organization Is an important factor, aud this fact causes tho position of county chairman to bo a bone of contention sometimes poli tical annihilation. As to the etrect the factional light will lmvo on tho result of tho election is a ques tion to bo determined in November next. Thero are times when a political party ncods a cleaning out tho application of disinfect ants, to restore it to Its normal condition. In such cases tho party voters tnko a liaud and call down thoso self-assumed leaders aud bosses of both factious. Tho present dltll- culties call for such attlon. Tho party lias selected Its standard-bearers, not to quibble over the selection of a secretary or com. niittccman, but to attak tho common enemy with all tho energy and political sagacity at their command, aud with a united frout, What care you or I who fills the minor position, or oven who is chosen chairman. What wo want is Repub lican victory every man uiwii the ticket elected. Sowing tho seeds of discord and disorganizing the party, should stop, and at once. Mr. Edwards was elected chairman of tho county convention by Mr. llrdmm and his friends, tho atndldatcs sulweqiiently selected him as county chairman, Ills secre taries and clerks havo been appointed and tlio executive committee named, all in ac cordance with tho rules of the party, and tho only thing to do now is to elect the entlro ticket, from lirumm down to Ahrenstleld. In conversation with Chairman Edwards, he informs your correspondent that his ono desire is to treat ocry candidato with tho KUtio cunsidemtiou, showing favors to none that will not bo cheerfully granted to others. As county chairman ho has no friends to award nor enemies to punish. Ho says the Republican party cannot alIord to lose n Congressman from this district; tho crisis Is ono in which thero is more nt stake than tho Individual, who represents a principle for which wo aro all contendihg. Tho chairman could truthfully have added that there aro other candidates upon tho ticket who are Justly entitled' to snmo consideration, and Whoso success is equally desired with that of the head of the ticket. This warfare should conso, and at onto, No man doslres tho election of lirumm more than your correspondent. I was ono of his most ardent supporters for tlio nomluatinn and will work just as enthusiastically for his election, but I cannot sanction his unwUo and impolitic cnurso in breeding dissension within the party organization. It is gratifying to know, however, that but one othef candi dato is in sympathy with the Congressman. Call oir your dogs of war, Charlie, and turn them on the free silver advocates. Rex.

Paid Khulid. nnd tho commander of his forces, Said Sales, suc ceeded In escaping to tho German consu late, where they lmvo sought rcftmo nnd remain under tho protootlon of tho Ger man flag. Hear Admiral Henry Hnwson, C. H in command of the Ilrltlsh Capo of Good Hope nnd west const of Africa station, nnd the Hritlsh consul general, A. H. Ilard Inge, C. H-, after holding n ennferunco, communicated by cubic to tho government of Oreat Hritaln nn outline of tho ultun tlnn of nlTuirs, rotting forth that Huld Khallil, who seized tho xilnco and pro claimed himself sultan on tho death, ap parently by poison, of Sultnn Hiunod Hln Thwnln Hln Said, had been strongly ruin forced und positively refused to surrender. Said Khnlld had with him nt that time nbout 2,500 well urtnod and well discip lined men, including SKH) Askeris, who havo been trained under tho Hritlsh of ficers, nnd n numlief of Held guns and othor pieces of artillery which woro trained on tho Hritlsh warships, consisting of tho St. Georgo, Philomel, Haccoon, Sparrow nnd Thrush. During the past night thero wore n num ber of disturbances among tho natives in tho outskirts of tho town, but they wero promptly suppressed by tho !lo0 Hritlsh marines und sailors who had been landed to protect property nnd guard the consu late of Groat Hritaln. It is understood, however, thatSaid Khnlld received further reinforcements from tho slavo dealers, who Hooked to his support, as tho formal hoist ing of tho Hritlsh ling over Zanzibar would mean the llhcrntlouuf about 2."AntW skives and n death blow to slavery In this part of east Africa. Tho Hritlsh subjoetn, numbering about 100 personsnnd iinuinber of other foreign ers embarked on board warships, tho Italians going ou board the Italian gun boat Volturno, and tho Germans peeking safety at the Gorman consulate. Shortly before 0 o'clock n naval olllcer was sent to tho l'alaco square with n mcs sago for Said Khallil, asking him if ho was prepared to surrender In accordance with tho terms of tho ultimatum und again notifying hi in that the pa la en in which ho had barricaded himself would bo shelled at II o'clock promptly If ho fulled to haul down his Hag beforo that time. As beforo, Said replied that ho would dio sooner than surrender. His an swer was convoyed to Admiral Hnwson and tho Hritlsh consul general, und tho crews of tho ships, which had been pre pared for action tho day beforo, wero sent to quarters. At 0 o'clock tho flagship signalled tho Itaccoon, Thrush and Sparrow to com monco tiring, nnd In a moment they sent n storm of shell and shot Into the puluco, tearing big paps In It, scattering death nnd confusion among Its defenders, whilo dismounting some of tho guns ashore and putting to flight the gunners handling tho pieces. Tlio tiro of tho warships was ad mirably directed, and smoke was soon soen to bo issuing from several parts of tho puluco. Thu Itaccoon, Thrush and Sparrow kept up tho bombardment until 9.50, when tho puluco was tumbling in ruins. During the bombardment thu sultan's armed steamer Glasgow opened flro on tho Hritlsh warships, but a few well-aimed shells from tho heavy guns of tho Hucoon and n shot or two from tho four-Inch guns of tho Sparrow crashed through and through he.-, silenced her flro in short order und ultimately sank her at her moorings. Admiral Ilawson, inordertoprovonttho escniK) of Said Khallil and his followers to tho nlululnnd of Africa, where their pros enco would undoubtedly havo caused troublo with tho slavo leadors and their ndherents.-sent detachments of murines, bluejackets nnd local Zanzlburls to oc cupy all tho roads and avenues of escape. Said Khnlld took refuge In tho Gorman consulate. Tho American trado with Zanzibar Is considerable, approaching Jl.ooO, 000 annually. Tho I'ntted States buys from them Ivory, hides, rubbor, gums und cloves, nnd sells cotton and petroleum. Tho intentions uf England regarding Zanzibar havo been looked upon with In terest for n very long time. During tho reign of tho late Sultan's uncle, All Hen Said, tho Kngllsh began tho enforcement of a firm rule, which they culled u protec torate. This consisted In making arrange ments with the sult.m by which ho was to rucelvo u fnonthly stipend for his personal expenses, nnd proper accounts of all reve nues and expenditures in thu various gov ernmental departments were to bo kept, nil sivld (lopnrtmunts lielng created und organized und placed under English olll clals. Thu old palacoof Harcom last night wtis nothing but a heap of smouldering ruins.
