ulist jn&nagers have yet done *wus re
ported* at ©emocraltlc flKsaldquarte-rs to
day by Han. Charles Bruml of.I/irv-
reincevllle. Mr. Brunkl teleigrj'jvhe'd
ChJlrmkra Clay thtat the rwpullstrs la
Gwinnett county’ wero cfirculaitlng a
letter signed -with the mimes of Chair
man Clay and Chairman Berner, and
purporting to come from Deanocr-Ttlc
•hejdquartera. The circular is supposed
to be a'dd'reseedi to DomVxiiuitic munU-
>eers, urging them to get »tflie negro
vote at tnjy cost. . It contains audCi
phTases os tiho tfolldwinigj
“You must control these bcosts.”
1 “You can get them for a drink of
■whisky.”
“Make them drunk and then vote
them.”
“Buy them If you hove to; but by
all means get the negro rote, qr we are
lost.”
Such a desperate and despicable ap
peal to the prejudlcee of a people hits
never been made before. By adopting
such a course the Populist IcoUers show
themselves In their true colors. They
will hesitate at nothing, fil>m pnymls-
In" the nogro voter social and political

Inciting *hla prejudice against »tho beat

“When the Wtest Intomy of the Popu

-Clay and Chairman Berner both de

“Than circular,“ avid Mr. Clay, “is

FLORIDA’S ELECTION TODAY.
No Doubt But That tho Democrats
Will Win an Overwhelming Victory.
Jacksonville, Oct. 1.—Florida tomor
row elects a justice of the supreme
court, sixteen members of the senate,
the. entire house of ‘representatives,
and all county officers, save sheriff.
Hon. Benjamin A. Liddon, the Demo
cratic nominee for the supreme bench,
has no opposition. The Populists have
put out candidates for the legislature
and county offices in many oonutles,
but it is not thought that they will
make a show save In two or three
counties.
In several of tho counties there are
sharp lights between Democrats. The
railnxhl commission question has been
tlie issue and the indications are that
the legislature will be overwhelmingly
in favor of the establishment of a
commission.

Berlin, Out. 1.—Authentic details of
the arrest of 1S3 non-commlsakmed offi-
ceira Jn the trtulnlng school In the I11-
valMetn on Saturday night utra
becoming public. Shortly, after roll
call SatuiVlay tlhe non-commissioned
ofllcer3 were assembled In the yutd of
tho inaSning school, when MaJ. Von
StetAn, director of the school,«ourround-
ed by officers, proceeded ito adminis
ter'a severe reprimand to .them for thc r
lampooning of ceTtuln officers und in-
stltutXoifs.
While -the nVaJor was speaking a win
dow -hi the school buKding was thrown
open and.a pupil whom the officer failed
to Menfclfy~ shouted, “Llcb Anarchy 1“
<MaJ. Von StoOrln dem’auded 'Che name
of the culprit, but every one refused
to betray Ms identity. Subsequently
the personal effects of eft the students
were examined and a quantity of 00-
olalitstic pamphlets and other (litera
ture was feu rid. .
A committee of inquiry waa imme
diately formed and summoned ‘he
chiefs of the poll'tcal police.
The adjuirant commander general
all&o oommunicaited alt once w’ith the
emperor, iwho is Romlten, and all
Che members of the school were orderdd
to remain in their rronrj, pemHn-g »:In-
receipt of orders ns 10 the course «to be
pursued. ,
A number of the pupils went to bed at
tho usual hour, but many of them decided
not 10 retire until informed of '.he disposi
tion to bo made of them. Some time later
a telegram was received from Emperor
William, in which his majesty decided
that summary measures should ce adapt
ed. In accordance with tnese Instructions,
shortly before midnight a battalion of
the Guards.was marched to the school
and surrounded the buildings.
MaJ. von Stetton ordered all the pupils
to file Into the school yard without
weapons. , When • all were assembled he
addressed 'them, saying: "From this mo
ment consider -yourselves prisoners In pre
ventive custody. Those of you who at
tempt : any resistance must bo prepared
for the most serious consequence*"
Theb’ turning to the troops and speak
ing in a louder to no he ordered them to
shoot down any of the prisoners who at
tempted to escape. The men silently sub
mitted to their arrest and at once took
their departure , for Magdeburg under
guard. When they were gone It was
found that several of tho pupils had been
missing from the roll call, but the3e were
all arrested later.
During the courso of Sunday twenty
soldiers belonging to different regiments
were token Into custody on suspicion of
Ip MU. ■ 1,mi- - t • 1 with dm pupils •'" l l th'*y.
too, were sent to Mogddburg.
The first arrest was mado on Tuesday
last when a sergeant of the training
school was taken Into custody. \i»»c au
thorities of the school profess to believe
that the’prlsonera have no connection with
any. revolutionary party. The remaining
220 pupils who were not arrested have
been sent back to their respective regi
ments and the school has been closed
until the caecs of the arrested pupils are
tried.
The Relchsanzelger says It Is likely that
the greater number of the non-commis
sioned officers arrested will nat be com
promised. The wholesale arrests were
niftde, the official |Mj" r Niyi*, with a view
of discovering the ringleaders and the
others who have taken part In the gross
outrages against the laws and against
military discipline.
STILL AFTER THE POLICE.
The Lexow Committee Resumes Work,
But Develops Nothing Sensational.
New York, Oct. 1.—The Lexow com
mittee resumed Its Investigations Into the
police department today after two weeks’
vacation, taken to allow the members of
the committee to attend the state con
ventions of the Republican and Demo
crat i<- parties.
Mi J. William H. Kipp, rhi -f c-b-rk ut

wllm-w for tli<- <1 iy. His t-.sitimouy in
ferred largely to matters appearing In the

routine nature.
Then came ex-Polk’s Commissioner
Charles F. McLean, lie'could recall only
one Instance In which a formal Investi
gation was made by the boarl touching
tho sale of rapt ancles.
The witness gave It as his opinion that
the present fcyst«ro with Its bad applica
tion of the civil service laws, offered
greater opportunities for purchasing a
place on the police force than under the
cl I .m> M c.n.
After the examination of several minor
witnesses the committee adjourned for the
day.
