COUNTING BALLOTS YESTERDAY
Both Houses With Their Several Heads
Opening the Returns of the* Recent Elec
tion to Ascertain the Exact Figures and
Declare Officially Who Are Elected—Ber
ner at the Head.
Atlanta, Ga,, Oct. 29. —It is prob
able that the legislature will adjourn
until after the presidential election.
Al any of the members want to go
home to vote.
. Speaker Jenkins, of the house, said
this morning:
“I think the house will adjourn tfh
tilafter the election and declare the
intervening days dies non.
When the legislature adjourns in
this manner pay stops till it reassem
bles.
The two intervening days before
adjournment will be taken up with
the election of judges and solicitors
and the inauguration of the governor.
Some of the members were ucder the
impression that the law fixed this election
for the first Monday after the assembling
of the legislature. The speakers says the
act is elastic and admits of changing the
date at the pleasure of the general as
sembly. The constitution of 1877, article
6, section 12, says:
‘Mudges of the supreme and superior
courts and solicitor-general shall be
elected by the general assembly in joint
session on such day or days as shall be
• fixed by joint resolution of both houses.”
The capital was in an uproar this morn
ing. Both the senate and house met in
the hall of the house to count the vote
cast m the recent election for governor
and state house officers.
While this work was going on the
candidates were getting down to work
on the home stretch, as the caucus,
which will settle the matter, will be
held tonight. The halls were swarm
ing with politicians and candidates,
and they invaded the senate chamber
and the house.
Hon. George R. Brown, of Canton,
died in his room at the Kimball yes
terday. .
The military feature of inaugura
tion day will be the biggest ever seen
in Atlanta. The Rome troops are ex
pected.

unquestionably one of the most dis

TRIAL OF MASSACHUSETTS.
Inspection Board anti Officers Pleased With
the New Battleship’* Work.
New York, Oct. 29.—The new battle
ship Massachusetts has just reached
here, at anchorage off Tompkinsville,
Staten Island, having emerged success
fully from Mie many tests made by the
board of inspection which tried its
worth.
Her gut:s and their mountings stood
the shock of full service charges, which
were fired at various angles, und eleva
tions; her maneuvering qualities were
t satisfactory to a high degree, aud whe:i
it came to drilling the crew the men
showed the high degree of excellence to
which they have been brought by Cap
tain Fred Rodgers and Ins executive
officer, Lieutenant Commander C. ~f H .
Arnold.
The board of inspection boarded the
1 vessel at Hampton Roads a week ago,
aud for the next 48 hours the vessel
was kept maneuvering. During the
forenoon of the first day out the board
learned the ship’s “tactical diameter,”
by which is meant the diameter of the
circle in which the vessel can turn. Thi
is a good thing for her officers to know,
and, according to their way of think
ing, a good thing for the public. Navul
regulations on the subject prevented
them giving any details on the matter.
The crew were put through all di ill.'

THE ROHE TRIBUNE.
widen bluejackets are heir to. They
had a clearing of ship for aetton, gen
eral quarters and fire quarters. Then
there was a call to “abandon ship,”
which showed how quickly all the men
could get away from the vessel iu case
of need. .
At the cry of “man overboard," a life
buoy was rescued in finestyle, and then,
to give a touch of realism, a man named
John Sheehan fell overboard iu earnest.
He did not mean to do it, but a life line
played the trick ou him, and he plunged
backwards into the sea when the ship
was steaming at a 13-knot gait. Buoys
were flung overboard, the engines were
stopped and reversed and a lifeboat was
on the way to the rescue almost before
the man bad time to realize that he was
overboard. He was back on board in
just two minutes and 40 seconds.
After the completion of the trial, the

LOOK FOR HIGHER PRICES.
English Farmers Are Holding: Back The it
Wheat—lndia’s Crop.
New York, Oct. 29.—A dispatch tc
The World from London says: A re
markable feature of the situation, one
plainly indicating a belief that highei
prices are coming, is that farmers iu
the wheat growing districts of England,
are firnuy holding ou to their stock,
eveu though the figures now obtainable
are much higher than they had ever
hoped to see again.
The continued absence of rain in th<
Puiijaub district and the measures now
being arranged by the East Indian gov
ernment to deft* with a possible famine
seem certain to make large demands on
the market next month.
Your correspondent had a talk with
Mr. Schamasch, the manager of the
great firm of E. D. Sasson & Co., oi
London aud Bombay, the largest, most
important London house in the East In.
dian trade. It was his purchase of sev
eral cargoes for Bombay last week that
caused the first decided advance iu price.
He says:
“I consider the prospect of-the market
excellent for some mouths to come, not
withstanding the price of wheat shows
a downward tendency. It has now fal
len to 32 shillings, and I believe it will
drop 30, from which point it will rise
steadily iu a healthy, stable manner.
“The poor potato crop both here and
on the continent must be taken iutc
consideration as au important element
in predicting the grain outlook.
“It is almost certain that ou this ao-,
count France will become an importer,
and when France begins to import
prices will go up 2 or 3 shillings a week.
“Germany aud suf
fered iu their potato croy/gp toey-tad
will become importers, whifoh will in
crease the strength of the market and
maintain priqps at a good level.
“As to India, Xhe pinch of want will
not be felt to®rp -£ur -gome months’any
way, jis thejnrkxe enough stock to keep
them going. It cannqf yet be staid with
Certainty that they have a famine at all.
Rain may come, and if it does tho crop
wiirtre saved.”
Crop of Winter Apples.
New YoBK, Oct. 29.—Throughout the
states of chief commercial production,
including New England, the crop ol
winter apples is large, according to the
special report iu the "New England
Homestead,” which places the aggre
gate yield at a shade under 59,000,001
barrels for all of the United Statei
against 60,500,000 barrels in 1895 and
57,000,000 barrels two years ago. This
authority says the crop, iu New Eng
land, New York, Michigan, and parte
of a few other states, is phenomenal.
New England aud New York alone have
over 16,000,000 bushels against little
more than 7,000,000 a year ago, while
Michigan is harvesting the greatest crop
of flue fruit ever secured in that state.
The report covering the central west,
however, shows that in many instances
the crop is insufficient to supply home
requirements.
Vandal, at Work In Kanoat.
Emporia, Kan., Oct. 29.—A sensation
was caused at the State Normal school
as a result of the work of vandals, who
defaced the stone walls of the buildings.
Every approach, every entrance, the
flights of steps, the sidewalks and even
the celebrated Kansas World’s Fair
fountain were daubed at night time
with Bryan and Sewall pictures aud
painted in many colors. ‘‘Hurrah for
Bryau and Sewall!” “16 to 11” “The
Boy .Orator!” were Rhine of the inscrip
tions. An attempt hail also been made
at cartoon work derogatory to the Re
publican Students compos
in'- the College Free Coinage club held
a i.,eetiiig and passed resolutions con-'
detuning these acts of vandalism.
More About That Watsoa Letter.
Washington, Oct. 29.—Secretary Ed
gerton of the Populist national commit
tee, said, in reference to the statement
of Mr. Watson that he (Edgerton)
might be able to tell something about
the letter of acceptance, that Senator
Etatler’s mail did uot pass through his
hands. Mr. Edgerton added that a
statement from toe postmaster of the
senate showed tliht the Watson letter
had lain in the senate postoffice for sev
eral days ou account of the negligence
of a new messenger. Mr. Edgerton
said emphatically that if the Watson
letter is published it will have to be
given out by Mr. Watson, as the com
mittee will not make it public.

Arrangement* Made Which Are Intended
to finable Turkey** Ruler, Who Live* In
Constant Dread, to Escape In < a*e of’aif
Emergency—Bectiklache Guarded Day
and M?ht.
Constantinople, Oct. 29.—A corre
spondent of the daily Mail, at Vienna,
is assured that oue of the imperial
yachts is anchored opposite Bectiktache,
near Constantinople, closely guarded
day and night, and that there is a sub
terranean passage from the Yildiz Kiosk
to the seashore, .which is patrolled un
ceasingly and is kept constantly lighted.
Vice Admiral Chakri, commander of the
imperial yacht, has Ween instructed tc
remain at anchor at Bectiktache until
further orders.
Yildiz Kiosk is the sultan’s summer
home. The arrangement described is
intended to enable him to escape in case
of an emergency. It is known that as
sassins have repeatedly attempted to
reach his person, and that he lives iu
constant dread.
Since the recant visit of the Russian
ambassador, M. de Nelidorff, to the sul
tan and the loug, important audience
which followed, it is noticeable that
there has been another change for the
better in tbe attitqde of Abdul Hamid
and his advisers towards the Armeni
ans iu particular, and the-.refbrm policy
in general. It is known that M. de
Nelidorff used very plain language to
the saltan, and it is apparent that the
latter was com. ced that the Russian
ambassador was iu earnest. This, sup
plemented by grave reports re
ceived by the sultan from the
Turkish ambassadors at Loudou and
Faria, pointing out the distrust aud
irritation caused by the attitude of Tur
k»y, has brought about eager progres
sions upon the part of the Turkish gov
ernment to earnestly push the work of
reform, and as a commencement, five'
deputy governors have been appointed
in Armenia, and it is probable that
there will be changes shortly in the
Turkish ministry.
PRINTED STATE SEGRETS,
Bat Prince Bismarck** Organ Will Not Be
, J’rosecated by Germany.
London, Oct. 29.—A special dispatch
from Ber in says that it is understood
there that the proposed prosecution of
Priuce Bismarck’s organ, The Ham
burger Nachrichten,' for publishing state
secrets, has been abandoned out of fear
of the harm such a thing might do to
the foreign policy. It is added, how
ever, that should Prince Bismarck pub
lish the circumstances under which he
resigned office, the government will be
forced to act, and it is said it would
probably treat Prince Bismarck iu the
same manner that the latter treated
Count von Arnim.
Count von Arnim was arrested in Oc
tober. 1874, and confined iu Berlin for
refusing to give up documents sent to
him as ambassador. Ou account of ill
ness he was released on bail some three
weeks later, but was again arrested in
about two weeks' time. He was tried
in December, 1874, was convicted of
making away with ecclesio- political
documents, wqp acquitted of other
charges aud was sentenced to three
mouths’ imprisonment. He appealed,
was tried again in June, 1875, and a
verdict was rendered confirming the
sentence.
In November of the same year it was
announced that Count von Arnim was
to be prosecuted for treason in u pam
phlet entitled “Pro Nihilo,” published
at Zurich. In January, 1879, the count
published "Quid Faciamus Nos,” and
in May, 1881, he died at Nice, as a re
sult, it was said by Prince Bismarck’s
enemies, of the persecutions to which
he had been subjected by the chancellor.
That Secret Kussia-Gerinauy Treaty.
Paris, Oct. 29.—The Figaro, com
menting on disclosures made by Prince
Bismarck in the Hamburger Nachrich
ten regarding the secret alliance be
tween Germany and Russia from 1864
to 1890, says: “Russia discovered that
the treaty was a veritable delusion for
her, aud when Prince Bismarck asked
herin 1887 to withdraw her declaration
of neutrality in the event of an attack
upon France, Russia formally refused
to do so, and then and thereafter all the
blandishments of Prince Bismarck only
served to increase the friendship of
France and Russia." The Matin is of
the opinion that the disclosure of the
secret treaty was intended to make
France suspicious of Rus-ia, and adds
that it had the contoary effect.
Traveling Around the World.
Victoria, B. 0., Oct. 29.—Amongthe
passengers from the Orient on the

"Maurice Boukay,” of Gil Blas, a
French journalist, traveling around the
world, but not iu a luxurious style, as
most globe trotters do, but- almost pen
niless. He left Pans Feb. 25, with three
cents in his pocket and made a wager
that he would circle the globe without
begging and be back in Paris by Christ

successful He leaves at once for San

Th® Bandits, Mounted and Armed, Rode
Through the Street* of the Little Town

Any Resistance.
Guthrie, O. T., Oct 29.—The Sac
and Fox Indian agency, 60 miles south
east of here, was held up and looted by
the same gang of bandits who looted the
town of Caruey last week. Sac and Fox
is only 36 miles from Caruey.
The four masked robbers, mounted
aud armed, first rode to the office of
Agent Thomas, presumably to demaud
the money to be paid as annuities tc
Sac and Fox Indiaqs next week. Agent
Thomas had $46,000 in greenbacks rdadj
to pay the Indians. Thomas was not
in his office. The robbers then went to
the stereos Mrs. Fannie Whistler, cov
ered the inmates aud took $486 and val
uable papers from the safe. They theu
held up J. W. Moffitt’s place and got
$59 and a gold watch. Chief Keokuk’s
place was robbed of SBO and $3,006
worth of notes.
The boldness of the robbers fright
ened the traders and peeple so badly
that they were unable to resist. After
robbing Keokuk’s place, the bandits
rushed through the grounds of the gov
ernment Indian school, firing their
guns. Two of the robbers were recog
nized as being in the Caruey holdup.
AN OVATION TO TOM REED.
Thousand* Stand In the Rain to Hear
’ Him Speak at Lo» Angeles.
Loi Angeles, Cal., Oct. 29.—A
steady,-drizzling rain put a damper on
what was calculated to be the grandest
political demonstration southern Cali
fornia has ever known. The Business
Mens’ Sound Money league had made
the most elaborate preparations for Tom
Reed day. Thousands of uniformed
men were to have been in the line of
march, and the business portion of the
town had been decorated gorgeously.
The rain made the attempts at deco
ration dismal failures, and the great
crowds that came on special trains from
all parts of California were forced to
seek shelter of hallways aud awnings,
while only the most enthusiastic could
be induced to take to the mud and join
the procession. A carriage drawn by
four cream colored horses carried the
distinguished visitor in the parade.
Although Mr. Reed was not scheduled
to speak atA-thletic park uutil 3 o’clock,
thousands of people, many of them
women, assembled at the grounds early
in the morning, aud stood waiting in
the rain. Five thousand people greeted
Mr. Reed, wildly cheering when he
stepped to the platform, and the points
of his speech were received with much
appreciation.
WILL SETTLE THE DISPUTE.
Representative, of the United States and
British Governments to Meet.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 29. Robert
Lansing, one of the counsel for the rep
resentatives of the United States com
mission, which is to meet in Victoria
next month, is in this city. The com
mission is a joint one and is made up of
representatives of the United States
and the British governments. Their de
cision will be final as to the award to
be made to the British sealers seized iu
1893. Mr. Lansing said:
“The international commission which
is to meet in Victoria about the middle
of November, is organized in accordance
with the provisions of a treaty between
the United States and Great Britain
signed Feb. 8, 1896, at Washington city.
"In 1886-7, the United States revenue
cutters in Behring sea seized a number
of Canadian vessels for sealing in those
waters, and in 1890 the cutters boarded
sailing vessels, seizing the arms and
sealskins ou board and ordering the ves
sels out at sea. These schooners and
other property seized were condemned
by the United States court and sold.
“The claim under which the seizures
were nude then stated that the Behring
sea was in Alaskan waters, and there
fore within the jurisdiction of this
countu’. This Great Britain denied,
and the matter was submitted to the
tribunal of arbitration, which met in
Paris in the spring of 1893 and which
decided the jurisdictional question ad
versely to the United States, thus estab
lishing this government’s liability for
the seizures it had niado. Tho question
of the amount of damages sustained by
the Canadian sealers was loft to the
further diplomatic negotiation between
the two countries.
“In accordance with this provision,
Secretary of State Gresham came to an
understanding with tne British ambas
sador to pay to Great Britain a lump
sum of $425,009. Both houses refused
to appropriate the money. The alter
native remaining was to submit the
question to a joint committee, and the
treaty of Feb. 8, 1896, was entered into
for that purpose. The treaty provides
for one commissioner to be appointed
by each country, who shall take evi
dence at Victoria and San Francisco,
whose united decision shall be final ou
any question submitted to them. In
cases .where they disagree, the questions
shall be decided by ati umpire to be ap
pointed by the president of the Swiss
republic.
"The claims (numbering about 25)
made by the Canadians would, if fully
allowed, amount today to SBOO,OOO. The
United States commissioner is Hon. W.
L. Putnam of Portland, Me., United
States circuit judge, and the counsel
for the government are Hou. Don M.
Dickinson and myself.”
GUTHRIE ANSWERS BUTLER.
The Populist Nominee For Governor of
North Carolina Enliven* Matter*.
Raleigh, Oct. 29.—Senator Butler’s
paper attacked those Populists who have
made speeches in opposition to fusion
with Republicans. It said:
“Don’t, for the sake of common sense,
for the sake of consistency, for the sake
of decency and honesty, vote for any
man or the son of any man who will
utter slanderous statements against Pop
ulists from one end of the state to the
other. Stop calling yourselves Populits,
get out of the party of honest men and
go into the crowd where you belong, for
we believe we speak the living truth
when we say no man is wanted iu the
rauks of the People’s party this year, by
the great body of the Populists, who
will not support that policy which gives
us the greatest power and iuflueuce in
the state and uatiou. We have always
known where we were at. We want to
know this year, and also hereafter. ”
This created a great -sensation, as it
was construed to baa direct attack on
W. A. Guthrie. Populist nominee for
governor, who has denounced Populists
who vote for Republicans. Guthrie
issued an address to the Populists,
which is really a reply to the newspap
er’s attack, and this created another
sensation. In his address he asks Pop
ulists if'they will, on the eve of an elec
tion, desert their principles and be al
lured into the camp of Mark Hanna and
be politically slaughtered, and if they
will vote for all electors on the Bryan
tick-1, or if they will vote for a goldbug
for congress, or for Senator Pritchard
for congress or throw away their con
gressional vote on Populists’ decoys in
the Fifth and Ninth districts. He tells
Populists if they elect a Republican to
the supreme court they will give that
party a majority of judges aud then
every Populist should hang his head in
shame.
Guthrie says his personal candidacy
gives him little concern, but the future
status of the Populist party gives him
the deepest concern. In conclusion he
says: . . - ... - .
"Let us show to the world we are not
a gang of professional office seekers, but
a band of political patriots.”
HE SWINDLED A FLORIDIAN.
Morgan, th® Greeitgood* Man, Given a
Hearing and Committed to Jail.
Trenton, Oct. 29.—P. Morgan, alias
O. H. Thomas, the alleged greengoods
man arrested here last Friday; was
given a hearing before United States
Commissioner Scott, and was committed
to the Mercer county jail in default of
$2,500 bail, pending the issuing of an
order for his removal to Brooklyn. The
offense alleged was committed in that
jurisdiction, and he will be arraigned
iu the Unitea States court for the east
ern district of New York. The charge
is that of using the mails for purposes
of fraud in sending greengoods circulars
and letters.
The three “come-ons” arrested with
Morgan testified against him. William
G. Sullivan of Lee, Fla., was the prin
cipal witness. He said that in response
to letters from Brooklyn, he came to
the United States hotel iu this city aud
met Morgan. The password was “048.”
He stated that Morgan, when he saw
that Sullivan had two companions, re
fused to carry out the agreement, and
said that Sullivan was to go to Jersey-
City with him, and to take one of his
companions along, Morgan to have the
privilege of having a companion present
also. Green Haven, also of Lee, Fla.,
and Haywood Baggett, who said that
his -home was sometimes in Georgia and
sometimes in Florida, corroborated Sul
livan’s testimony. The three “come
ons” were taken to Brooklyn where
they will give testimony.
It is not thought that Morgan can be
tried until President Clev land has ap
pointed some one to si cceed Judge
Green as judge of the court, as there
seems to be no one who can issue the
order for Morgan’s romoval. The pen
alty for the crime is SSOO fine or 18
months’ imprisonment, or both. It is
believed that the three "come-ons” will
be acquitted. .
