fHE INDIANAPOLIS GREEK Jin Interesting Talk with Dr. Henry Schliemann, the Explorer. A. Mao Who Married a Greek T.acly, and . Devotes His life to Digging Among Ancient Ruins. f. H. Hsynies’s Paris Letter. I met a citizen of Indianapolis, Ind.. yesterday, in the reading-room of the Grand Uotel, who happens to be one of the most tllustrions men of modem times. If he were a Frenchman he would be called a savant, but as he is an American citizen I shall speak of him as a famous explorer—-not of virgin forests or boundless plains; not of rugged, rock-ribbed mountains, nor rapidrunning rivers; not of unknown seas or uncivilized lands, but of ancient cities, towns and villages which old beldame earth has swallowed up or covered with the dust of many ages. The life of this Dr. Henry Schliemann, of whom I am writing, has been a most remarbable one; and not the least interesting part of it to the many readers in the West is his citizenship in the capital of Indiana. “I own Droperty there,” said he, but he did not tell me in which part of the city his home is located. I asked him how long it was since he had been in Indianapolis, and when he told me, I said to myself that is so long ago Very few people will remember him as their fellow-citizen. Then, aloud to Schliemann: ‘‘Why, Indianapolis had not more than 30,000 or 40,000 inhabitants when you were there, mid now it contains a population of more than 125,000.” “So much the better for my property,” said he with a smile. I said to the Doctor that the Western people would feel interested in knowing what their illustrious compatriot (by adoption) was doing. “Let me tell them something about the explorations and excavations that you are now engaged in, something about them which has not yet'been published,” I added.

“Well, there is one fact that has not yet been made public,” said the Doctor, with a smile, “and that is that my work in the Troad is now entirely completed, and the result of my last year’s labor will soon appear in a volume now in press. I have published very little in France, but I have just arranged with Firmiu Didot for the publication of a volume whieh will contain the substance of what is in ‘llios’ and ‘Troja.’ The general reading public in this country does not take the same interest in arclneologicai subjects that the Germans. English and Americans do, and where I have ten readers in Germany, England or America I will not have more than one here. Harper Brothers, my American publishers, write me that they have just issued a second edition of ‘llios.’ The present year I have devoted to writing the volume which is now in press. My plans for the future incl ude explore lions in the island of Crete and perhaps one or two other points that are famous in the early history of Greece, but before I undertake anything new in that line I intend to take at least one year’s rest from work of every sort, with a view to recovering my health. Like most men of sedentary habits, 1 have certain organic affections that are beginning to give me trouble, and, us I am now sixty-one years of age, I cannot trifle with my health as I used to do when I was younger.” In reply to a request for some information concerning the results of his latest excavations on the site of ancient Troy. Dr. Schlientann said; “Like all the explorations and excavations that I have made during the pasttwetveyears.tho.se of which I give an account in ‘Troia’ were directed toward one end, that of ascertaining how far the Homeric account of the Trojan war was founded upon historical facts. Many scholars have considered the whole of the Iliad as a myth, but I always believed that Homer had merely given the poetic dress and color to the history of the people to which he belonged, Homer mentions three cities in his account of tlie Trojan war: Myceme, Ilios or troy, and Orchomenos. The site of the first named has always been known, and more than one of the early Greek writers speak of it, and of the tombs of Agamemnon and hip companions as among tlie sights of the place. For more than two thousand years travelers have been shown certain ruins near what was once the gate of the city, and have been told that they were these tombs. I always suspected that this was a mistake, for these ruins did not agree either in their appearauce or in their location with the account of them given by the Greek writers to whom I have referred. Seventeen years ago I published an article in which I stated my opinion on this point, and gave my reasons for that opinion, and, of course, I was laughed at by all the archttologists. It was tins that led rai to explore the site of ancient Mycenae, and the result of my exploration was that I found the tombs of Agamemnon and his .companions in tlie exact place, that is, at the foot of the rock on which the Acropolis stood, that the old authors who had written about them had said that they were located. I not only found the tombs, but I found the treasure-chamber that the same authors had spoken about as being a part of them, and in it gold crowns, earrings, bracelets and utensils of all sorts. The articles in cold alone that I found weigh over 110 pounds troy. The site of Orchomenos was unknown until I found it, which I did by following tlie indications given by Homer, or at least my excavations proved that a city had once existed on the spot I had fixed upon. Here I found no treasures in the precious metals, but I found a great many archaeological reties of all sorts, and among other things a subterranean chamber almost intact, with a ceiling in carved stone tiiat is as magnificent a specimen of early art as lias ever been discovered. Besides tlie question as to whether tlie Homeric account of the Trojan war was a myth or not, there was also .lie question as to whether any such a city s Troy had ever existed. The plain of Troy is now a barren and, I may say, an uninhabited wilderness of sand hills, and all knowledge concerning the site of any large city having once existed there was lost. According to Homer, Troy, or ‘Sacred Ilium,’ as ■he calls it, was a city that lay not far distant from the sea coast, which, after having stood a ten years’ siege by the allied kings of Greece, was captured and totally destroyed, while the inhabitants were either massacred, carried away into slavery, or escaped into exile. Tt was with a view of finding the site of this city that my explorations in 1882 were made, and I may safely assert that these explorations have proved that in a remote antiquity there, existed oil tlie plain of Troy a large city; that this city was totally and suddenly destroyed by a fearful catastrophe, and that this city answers directly to the Homeric description of the sacred Ilium. Everything that I have discovered during all my explorations confirms all that is historical in the IliHd. I found many articles in the precious metals at Troy, and I have a house in Athens filled with enough antiquities of all sorts to stock several museums. I have built a house in Athens expressly to hold my collections, and these are of so interesting a character as to be the direct cause of drawing large numbers of strangers to Athens for the sole purpose of visiting them. It is not trap that I have ever offered my collection'for sale, ft is not for sale, nor do I sell anything that I find. The treasures found at Mycene I presented to the Greek government, und they

are in the public museum at Athens, but I have never sold anything that I have found during these explorations.” In reply to a questijn as to what part of the world he considered his home, the Doctor said: “I am a naturalized American, and own property in Indianapolis, but it has been fourteen years since I W'as in the United States. My wife is a Greek lady, and I now consider that Athens is my home. I have built a house there, and, although I retain my nationality as an American citizen, I do not contemplate a return to the United States.” At this point in our conversation the Doctor was joiued by a handsome gir! of twelve or thirteen years, a perfect specimen of the Greek type of beauty, whom he introduced as Mile. Andromache. “My other child by my second wife,” he added, “is a boy, whom I have named Agamemnon. I have two other children by my first marriage, but they are grown up and not with nie. My family accompanied me to the Troau and remained there the whole time that my explorations continued. I built half a tlozen frame houses for myself and my workmen, for there is no town or even a village anywhere near the site of ancient Troy. Our way of living during this time was not at ail different from our way of living in Athens, and that is the same as everywhere else in Europe. We did not get fresh beef every day, as there were no batchers handy. I had to purchase my beef, mutton and veal alive, and have it slaughtered and dressed by one of my men. We had, also, and for the same reason, to bake our own bread, hut on the whole our life was a perfectly European one. I have just come from England with my family, where I have beer, for several months, superintending the printing of my book. I leave here eariy next week, for Athens, wdiere I wili remain quietly for at least a year to come.” THF. HOME or HOMER. “One question more before I leave yon,” said I. “The Morning News of to-day gives us the particulars of the terrible earthquake in the Island of Chios. Please tell me what you think as to the claims of that unlucky island to be tlie birth-place of the old Greek poet whose writings have been your guidemarks in your most important works.” The Doctor softly quoted—- “ Ten cities claim great Homerdead Through which the living Homer begged his bread.” He reflected for a few moments, and then he said: “Whether Chios is the birth-place of Homer or not, it certainly is one of the loveliest spots on the face of the earth, and it has had a history of misadventure which is perhaps unparalleled. It has been the fate of the inhabitants of this picturesque little island never to be left alone in peace to grow their corn, rear their fruit and produce unlimited quantities of chewing gum so dear to the ladies of the eastern harems. Already in the days that Homer sang about, the Greeks used to worry the Chimes, and they continued to do so for ages. After the Greeks the Persians came in hordes to destroy their temples and to carry off into slavery their beautiful women. When tiie Persians had quite done with them the Macedonians. Romans and Byzantines in turn succeeded to the filibustering business of the Mediterranean, and when th 6 natives disappeared from the world, the Republic of Genoa revived the trade and again made things lively for the Chiptes. From the Genoese the island passed to the Turks, then to the Venetians, and then back to the Turks again, who have since remained its masters. Very hard masters they have proved, too, even though the island supplied their Sultans with such delicious chewinggum. In 1822 the Samiotes induced the Chiotes to join them in the Greek insurrection, and then left them in the lurch, whereupon the Turks proceeded to slaughter them by thousands, carried away their wives and children as slaves, and destroyed their city. Nature has been even more unkind to unlucky ana thrifty Chios than man ever was, and lias from time to lime disfigured the face of this fertile garden and decimated its inhabitants with some of its most terrible convulsions. The present earthquake has come upon it before the ravages of the one of April, 1881, have been repaired. That one ruined the sea front, destroyed the principal public buildings, and killed over four thousand of the inhabitants. Those who have traveled in the Levant are familiar with this classic little island. It is the regular stopping place of all the English, French and Italian steamers homeward bound from Constantinople, and a low-lying island whose appearance from the sea is eloquent with the disasters that have befallen it. Great chasms in the cliffs, rents in the coast line and overthrown buildings speak of the apparently endless series of earthquakes that' have visited the island. The Ohiotes seem to take their misfortunes with much philosophy, and before the wheels of the steamer have ceased to revolve it is surrounded witli a swarm of small boats filled with venders of the famous chewinggum. This precious gum mastic is, according to the venders, infinitely superior to the article sold in the bazars of Constantinople. They bring it on board tied up in colored handkerchiefs, and each one has also a fuli line of the Durdanells pottery, but the prices they ask are six or seven times those asked at the place of manufacture. The chewing of the gum is supposed to whiten the teeth and sweeten the breath, and there is no Turkish lady who does not lighten the monotony of her existence by this practice. There is hardly a more primitive spot on the face of the globe than Chios, and, with the exception of the government officials, who sport the fez and Turkish uniform, I do not think the fashions have changed since the days of Herodotus. The Ciiiotes are celebrated for tlieir courtesy to strangers, but the Turkish officials are sometimes cross and exacting enough. “There is a wide-spreading tree in the central square of the town that casts a refreshing shade. Under it you will see on any fine morning an official in uniform seated in an arm chair reading his mail and signing business papers under guard of a few soldiers. The sight excites the astonishment of newlyarrived Europeans, but the inhabitants express no surprise, and it is certainly far pleasanter to dispatch official business in the open air than in the confined rooms of the castle. Presently tlie oflicer is joined by the governor of the island,who comes in the most unconventional fashion, mounted on an aged white donkey, holding a modern umbrella over his fez, and affably acknowledging the bows of the inhabitants. The Pasha and his council assemble under the flowering oleander and proceed to dispose of the public business; but if you happen to have a letter of introduction to him the Governor will lay aside his official documents, send for a chair for you, and in the twinkling of an eye, fruits, sweatmeafs, Turkish coffee, cigarettes and chibouks are handed round. The Chiotes come and go to tlieir daily tasks without making any observations, as though there was nothing unusual in the spectacle of their Governor entertaining his guests in the center square of their interesting city. Such is the place, so hospitable, so happy, so smiling a garden ground, which, like ill-fated Ischia, has again fallen a prey to a secret and irresistible foe that seems to have a hatred for the most beautiful island of our globe.”

A Oaring <*irl Dins. Newport, Nov. 22.— Miss Lewis, sister of Ida Lewis, “the Grace Darling of America," died tliis morning from consumption, at Lime Rock light-house, and within sight of the boats used by, herself and Ida in rescuing many lives from drowning. Now that she is gone, it can be said that without her assistance many lives would have been lost in the vicinity of the light. She was young and handsome, and was always ready to accompany her daring sister, but shrank from any publicity being given tier deeds.

THE INDIXNAtOLLS JO URN AX, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1883.

TIIE DANVILLE MASSACRE Methods Adopted by the Virginia Bulldozers and Murderers. Overthrowing Majority by Murder, Intimidation ami Fraud—A Straightforward Statement by Colonel Sims. National Republican. Tiie Hon. William E. Sims, the Readjuster candidate for the State Senate of Virginia in Pittsylvania county, in which Danville is situated, being in the city on private business, was interviewed by a representative of the National Republican. He is a short, well-built gentleman, apparently a little more than forty years of age, and of very pleasing address. He is a native of Virginia, and has acted with the Conservative or the Democratic party until 1882. He stated, upon this point, that he did not support the Readjuster party as long as the debt quesGon was an open one, but that when it was settled by law lie very cheerfully gave his support to General Maliotie and his political associates, because in them, he believed, was the only hope for the State. “Nothing,” said he, “amid be hoped for from the Bourbon party for the advancement of the State.” Colonel Sims is a lawyer of ability, and was last year the candidate of the Readjuster party for Congress against Mr. Cabell. He made an able canvass, but was defeated, as was well nigh certain from the start would be the case. In the recent campaign he was the chairman of the committee of his party, and a month before election made returns to State headquarters of the strength of the parties respectively. Ke says that the canvass showed a majority of 265 for his party, and that he can prove specifically that in the election he was, by force, intimidation and fraud, deprived of votes which can be named, and which, had they been given him, would have given him 256 votes, being within nine of his canvass. In reply to the question as to whether he found any difficulty in establishing facts and collecting evidence since the election, he said: “I have been actively engaged in getting together evidences in places outside of Danville, because the work there was of a character that could be delayed. I shall commence taking testimony there on Thursday.” * “We have been told that no one there

would administer an oath. Has that been the case?” “It has. My friends could not induce any white magistrate in Danville to administer an oath for tlie taking of affidavits. I went to Chatham, the county-seat of Pittsylvania county, twelve miles from Danville, and called on the commissioner in chancery to administer oaths, lie being the only well-in-clined person I could call on. He said he could not do it. I asked him why. He replied:- ‘You don’t know the condition of the country or you wouldn’t ask me to do it. The condition is terrible.’ He said I would be murdered if I went on. and, as a peaceloving citizen, he besought nie to desist from tlie taking of any affidavits. I finally had to go seventeen miles for a magistrate, and those who were to be sworn had to go that distance to him.” Upon the question as to what witnesses could be found who would be willing to testify as to the massacre, be said he bad not; et entered upon that, not having been in Danville since tlie Sunday following the affair and preceding the election. One colored man had told him ot having stood with his back to the crowd, and hearing a pistol, turned around and saw several white men with pistols, but he ran himself upon one of the pistols being fired, and knew no more. He said he had no idea of any disturbance, the pistol-shot being the first notice that anything was going on. Col. Sims named a prominent white man who was said to have seen the performance from a window, and he expressed an intention of having him sworn. It is the intention of Colonel Sims to insist upon being himself examined as a witness by the committee of forty, and to himself examine before a commissioner, in his contested case, such witnesses as can throw the light of truth upon the fearful tragedy which is now the subject of such painful interest. This testimony will be presented to the readers of the Republicen as early as it is obtainable. Following are some of the matters of which Colonel Sims already has proof which occurred outside of Danville. When he went to Richmond on Sunday, the 4th, to ask that State troops be sent to Danville, lie relied on a certain colored man to distribute his tickets in seven precincts. A certain Democratic leader induced this man to give the tickets into his custody for three hours, and when the packages were returned about halt' a dozen tickets on the top of each package were genuine, while the rest were changed. At two precincts a similar fraud was practiced by collusion with bis men. The bogus tickets were voted ignorantly by a number of negroes before the fraud was discovered. At three precincts Democrats attended the polls armed with shotguns and pistols. At one precinct they discharged guns and pistols all day to frighten off timid white, as well as black Readjusters. To each one of these precincts a colored man was sent by the Democrats, on the night before the election, to inform the colored men of the Danville massacre, and to warn them that if they voted the next day their fate w<i*ild be the same. The Danville Register, of the week before tlie election, said editorially that tlie Democrats knew how to carry the county and Danville, and there would be no difficulty in the matter. The Pittsylvania Tribune, in its issue of the same week, advised Democrats throughout the county not to be timid, but to try tlie bluff game and it would win. At New Design, three miles from Danville, the Readjuster voters iiad registered in squads of ten, and numbered about 500. Os these only one voted. The niilitiry in Danville only increased the danger to tlie Readjusters at New Design. Leaders of tlie Danville mob to tlie number of from fifty to seventy-five, after voting at Danville, marched over to New Design with pistols strapped around their waists, aud not a negro dared come near the polls. “At Danville, North Danville and New Design,” he said, “we had about 2,100 Readjuster voters registered, and intending to vote our ticket. Os this number only twentyseven dared to vote, though every effort was made to induce them to do so. These votes, together witli others we can account for by name as deceived by false ballots or bulldozed, would have given us 250 majority in the county. As it was, the Democrats carried it by about 2,000. They knew perfectly well that they were beaten, before the Danville murders. The total registered vote of the county is about 12,000." “Colonel Sims, it has been said that you made an incendiary speech on Friday evening, tlie 2d, and that it was tlie cause of the massacre on the following day.” “I said nothing whatever ot an incendiary character. On the contrary, one J. P. Harrison had written a letter to me, which was published, stating that many colored Readjusters would probably be threatened by our own colored people, and coerced into voting our ticket. In my speecli I took occasion to notice the letter, and in the presence of a thousand colored and four hundred white people, I told the colored people that if the charge was true I regretted to hear it; that the leading principle of our party was a free ballot, and that I would condemn any forcible means to influence any man’s vote, white or colored, and I hoped no colored man

would vote for me under compulsion. I told them if any suen thing was ai.tempted I would assist in the prosecution of the offender. “The notice, under which I spoke, informed people that I would answer.tiie famous Danville circular, which I had never seen until the night before, and of which only two copies, so far ns I know, were in Danville on that Friday night, although it had been circulated by the car-load all over other portions of the State. It had never been published in a Democratic paper in the State that I know of, and the white peo'ple came to my meeting out of curiosity to hear what was iu the circular. . “My white audience was amazed and astounded at tbe circular when I read it, nearly all of them being Democrats. “Many of the signers of tiie circular were there. I proved the falsity of nearly every allegation in it, and asked my hearers if it was not mean and cowardly to circulate such a slanderous paper in the white counties of Virginia, when they were ashamed to circulate it at home where the people knew the facts. If proving falsity of that circular and asserting the cowardice of the authors and circulators of it was incendiary, I cannot understand the meaning of the word. None of the twenty-eight men who signed it ever called me to account for my remarks, Srom which fact I inferred that they recognized the justice of what I said. But even if I had slandered them, instead of speaking the truth, as I did, that certainly could have been no excuse for the Democratic party to massacre innocent and defenseless colored men twenty-four hours afterward.” With tliis Colonel Sims concluded. lie was to be in Danville yesterday, and of his movements there, and the progress of his, as well as of the Bourbon, inquiry into the Danville massacre, the Republican will keep its readers informed.

An Appe.il for Woman Siiffinjo. Dear Sisters of the \V, C. T. U.: You have doubtless seen that the National W. C. T. U., at our recent convention in Detroit, passed the following resolution: “As the strength of the liquor traffic is in the law protecting it, and law Is the result of sentiment expressed liy the ballot, we therefore recognize it to l>e the Christian and patriotic duty of women to head their energies toward securing the ballot, to the end of crystalizing tlieir sentiment Into law that shall protect the home from the encroachments of Its enemies.” They also passed a resolution instructing our general officers to memorialize Congress for the passage of a sixteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, prohibiting the States from disfranchising any citizen on the ground of sex. In order to carry out the purpose of these resolutions, I desire that every woman who believes our cause is just, shall interview, if possible, or write to the senators and representatives in Congress from her State, urging that they support and labor for the passage of suoli amendment, in order that, when our national officers go to Washington with our memorial, they may be sustained by the strong moral support which such interviews and letters will give them with the senators and representatives of your several States. Ido also request and urge that all men who love justice and believe that the majority should rale, and that in a government of the people all the people should be heard, would also write such letters and aid us in securing that which we believe to be her due in a government which declares that “a government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed.” Recognizing that, in all the struggles through which this nation has passed to secure the blessing of civil liberty, the women have borne their part unselfishly and uncomplainingly, we feel that our request to be clothed with all the prerogatives of citizenshipiis both right and just. You are respectfully urged to have this cirfciStar printed in all your local papers, to thY'ena that it may reach the eye of all women who are interested. Mrs. Z. G.
