stricken inhabitants, who would not go in-doors until after the second shock, which, scarcely perceptible, occurred fifteen minutes later. .Furniture was moved and windows ancyamns were broken in various hotels, but no serious dam are is reported. The report that the Bourbon House had been overturned is without foundation, Pittsburg, Aug. 31.—At 10 o’clock to-night an earthquake shock was felt in all parts of this city and Allegheny. The shock lasted about thirty seconds, and created the greatest consternation in the hotels and large buildings. In Hotel Anderson and Hotel Dequesne the guests ran into the streets, panicstricken, and in the upper stories of the Western Union telegraph’ building the swaying of the structure was quite perceptible. Dewitt C. Biilsby, of Media, Pa., aeuest at the Hotel Duquesne, was sitting in a room in the fifth story with his son. He says the rocking of the bnilding made him sick at the stomach. Looking out of the window he plainly saw the city hall, nn immense stone stmetnre, Just opposite, tremble and sway back and forth. On the South Side the shock seems to have been more severe. Dishes were thrown from shelves, clocks stopped, and occupants of houses rushed ont, tc reaming with terror. Surroundine towns in 11 directions report a distinct vibration of the earth at about the same hour. As far as heard from there was no serious damage. Milwaukee, Aug. 31. —Large buildings w®ro shaken to their foundations, about 9 o’clock tonight. by an earthquake shock that lasted nearly a minute. People fled in affright to the streets. Windows were broken in numerous buildings, and pictures fell from the wall. No particular damage was done. The shock was felt only in the larger buildings, and only in the central part of the city. It was most severe in the Fourth ward, in the fashionable residence district. Meadville, Pa., Aug. 31.—At 10 p. M. a ■hock of earthquake was felt, followed immediately by a slight shock, the whole lasting about twenty seconds. The streets were at once filled with people, guests rushed out of hotels in their night-clothes, women and children were crying and screaming, and every one was more or less alarmed. As far as learned no damage has been done. New York, Aug. 31.—At 9:57 this evening very decided earthquake shocks were felt here, and, according to telegrams at Baltimore, Washington and Richmond. In the upper stories of the tall Western Union building, in this city, the waves were plainly discernible, and persons walking about experienced the sensation as of falling.

Bank Thief Reseaed from an Officer. Bt. Louis, Aug. 31.—Sheriff Ritchie, of Galesburg, 111., left the city last evening, having in charge the celebrated Jimmy Carroll, a notorious bank robber, wanted at Galesburg for gome< operations there several years ago. Carroll was lhandcuffed. Shortly after the train left East St. Louis Carroll asked to be taken to the toiletroom. Sheriff Ritchie complied with the request, but had gone but a few steps down the aisle when he was seized on each side by a man in a linen duster and held until Carroll had reached the door and jumped from the train, which was movine at the rate of twenty-five miles per hour. Then Ritchie was released by bis captor, who. with three other men, also jumped from the train. As soon as the train came to a stand still Ritchie got off, but could get no trace of his prisoner. It is thought the rescuers are five well-known St. Louis crooks, but no arrests have thus far been mado. Later. —Jimmy Carroll and four men, supposed to be those who assisted in his rescue last aight from Sheriff Ritohie, iu East St Louis, were arrested this evening at Venice, four miles north of this city. Carroll and his four companions were making their way up the river in a flatboat, and had gone as far as Venice, where they were arrested on suspicion and held to await identification. Officials Who Were Equal to the Emer gency. Special to the Indianapolis Journal, Williamsburg, 0., Aug. 31.—About one month ago the City Council passed an iron-clad prohibition ordinance, closing all saloons inBide the corporation limits. Yesterday the enterprising saloon-keepers bought a small building here, mounted it on wheels and took it to a point just over the corporation line, where they bad secured a strip of land to locate on. Liast •vening the Council, not to be outdone in enterprise, resolved to take into the corporation quite ■’strip of outlying land, including that upon which the new saloon is located.

A COLOSSAL WAR PREDICTED. The Greatest Struggle of the Century Believed To Be Close at Band. Expectation that Russia Will Try to Occupy Bulgaria, and that She Will Be Resisted by the Power of Turkey and Austria. Prince Alexander Continues His Journey Amidst a Series of Ovations. Russian Condemnation of the Prince and of England—The Crofters’ Grievances Under Discussion in the British Commons. A PROSPECT OF WAR. Active Hostilities Almost Certain to Follow the Bulgarian Revolution. New York, Aug. 31. —A London special to the Times says: “To-night I learn details of what the world is likely to learn, much to its excited interest, within a few days. The conclusion that my informant draws from it all is that the greatest war of the century is close at hand. The facts come in part from a gentleman who dined at Jugenheim, with Battenberefs father, Saturday night; in part from a diplomate temporarily here for purposes of consultation. First of all, the secret of the Franzensbad interview, about which not a guess has been made by a single journal of Europe, is that M. De Giers urged Prince Bismarck earnestly to prevent Prince Alexander’s return to Bulgaria. Bismarck declined to commit himself, took the matter ad referendum, and shortened the interterview almost abruptly. A great amount of telegraphing between Berlin, Yi enna, London, Rome and Constantinople ensued, far more than the little Franzensbad office never dreamed of before, Whether M. De Giers got an answer before his unexpectedly hasty departure is not known, but the result was that Prince Alexander was not restrained from going to Bulgaria. Mr. Lascelles, the British consul-general, who was spending his vacation here, started post haste for Sofia, to represent English interests in the trying time now at hand. This is a hint that Sir William White, who ought never to have been removed from Constantinople, will go there next week as a temporary aid to the slow Sir Edward Thornton. Mr. Lascelles hastens, as does Prince Alexander, to forestall the fire eater, Dolgorouki, who is reported to be on the way to Sofia. He will be received coolly, with strict courtesy, not affronted, not recognized: but there is a doubt whether he will really go to Sofia. Instead, secret information here is that he is likely to go to Athens, and thence to Macedonia. It is known that Russian gold has been going in great quantities through Greece to foment a rising in Macedonia, which is expected daily. “I learn that it is believed to be certain that the pressure of Germany, Austria and England has gained Turkey over once more, and that the Porte will authorize Alexander, as a tributary prince, to enter Macedonia, subdue it, and incorporate it as a part of his dominions held under the Porte, with the view of an eventual kingdom of Bulgaria. Against this plan is set the practical certainty that Russia will attempt to occupy Bulgaria, when she will be resisted by Austria, Turkey, Roumania, Bulgaria and Servia. This will enable Germany to hold aloof, keep France in awe, and satisfy the Kaiser, whose scruples have long delayed a collision be tween the Teuton and the Muscovite. My informant lays great stress upon the strength and sufficiency of these scruples, but believes that the Kaiser, in great wrath at the piratical indignity offered to Prince Alexander, has consented to let the Austrians and Turks undertake the task of chastisement. “In the short, heated diplomatic work coming, England is believed to be ready to assnme the lead, and it is now far-more probable than it was on Saturday that, eventually, she will a hand in the fight. It is a delicate thing to predict such a vast collision. I would not dream of doing it on my own responsibility, but it is a serious fact that the most trusted men in the English foreign service believe to-night that war is inevitable. Two wpr correspondents of London papers start for Bulgaria to morrow.”

ALEXANDER’S JOURNEY. Another Series of Ovations—Solicitude of Russian Newspapers. London, Aug. 31.—Prince Alexander’s journey to Tirnova from Sistova was a series of ovations. The people, headed by the priests, flocked to the different points on the route of the procession and greeted the Prince with joyous shouts o? welcome. A large crowd left Tirnova to meet the Prince at a point five miles distant, and escorted him into the town amid great enthusiasm. An address cf welcome was presented on behaif of the populace, and in reply Prince Alexander congratulated Tirnova upon having commenced the counter revolution in his favor. It is now said Prince Alexander will probably proceed to Philippopolis to day. Three leaders of the conspiracy against Prince Alexander, including the treasurer of the revolutionist fund, have taken refuge in Bucharest. The government decided to expel them, and notified the refugees that they must leave. The conspirators thereupon appealed to the Russian legation for protection. Telegrams were passing between the legation and Petersburg during the whole of last night. Prince Alexander will arrive at Philippopolis to-morrow. The correspondent of the Berlin Tagblatt at Franzensbad has had an interview with M. de Giers, in which the Russian Foreign Minister stated that he would return to St. Petersburg on Sept 3. He would go by way of Berlin, and would have another conference in that city with Prince Bismarck. Nothing final had been decided with regard to Bulgaria in his recent interview with the German Chancellor, as it was not known that Prince Alexander would return to Sofia. M. de Giers said he did not know what the Czar’s present intentions were, but he was sure Russia would not occupy Bulgaria while that country was tranquil Russia's position would be very delicate and critical should Prince Alexander insist upon the execution of the men who led the conspiracy against him. M. Giers spoke in condemnation of Prince Alexander's course, and, alluding to England's action in the premises, said that she used everything that came within her reach aa an instrument against Russia. Dispatches from St. Petersburg state that the leading Russian papers affect to have great fears concerning the fate of| Bulgaria, “where," to quote the language of one of them, “there are two governments and two armies menacing each other with civil war." The speedy pacification of Bulgaria, declares another of these papers, concerns other powers besides Russia. The Novo Vreraya declares that Prince Alexander must be prevented from returning to Sofia, and

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1886.

says that all Russians would enthusiastically support any steps which Russia might take to prevent him. A dispatch from Berlin says: “Prince Dolgorouki will not go to Bulgaria. The Russian officers who were in the Bulgarian army prior to the coup d’etat will not re-enter Prince Alexander’s servica” The dispatch also says that Prince Alexander is not at all sanguine of restoring order, and would abdicate only that he is encouraged by England to persevere. AtTirnovaa number of addresses were presented to Prince Alexander, thanking him for returning to Bulgaria and demanding the execution of the traitors. The prince reviewed the garrison, and subsequently oroceeded to Philippopolis, via Elena. MM. Grueff Jana Banderoff, the revolutionary leaders, will arrive at Tirnova to-morrow. They will be tried by a court-mar-tial Preparations at Sofia. Sofia, Aug. 31.— General Montkuroff, at the head of the Roumelian troops, with which he designs to support Prince Alexander on his arrival here, in the ovent of necessity for their assistance arising, reached here to-day. The troops were welcomed with groat enthusiasm by the Bulgarian soldiers and the populace. The city is entirely orderly, and beyond adding to the display incident to the return of Prince Alexander, the Roumelian soldiers will not be required to take part in the restoration of the Prince to his throna Arrests of the plotters against Prince Alexander continue daily, and a court-martial is being formed which will deal with the conspirators at as early a day as possible. ENGLISH POLITICS. The Grievances of the Crofters—Probable Extension of the Debate. London, Aug. 31. —1n the House of Commons, Peter Esslemoct, Liberal member for East Aberdeenshire, moved an amendment to the address expressing regret that the croftors’ act bad not removed the grievances of the crofters. The amendment was supported by Messrs. McLaren, Clark, and Mason, Gladstonians, and by all the Parnellites. Mr. Mason, in a speech, said that Scotland demanded home rule, tApplause.] Dr. Tanner, Nationalist, condemned the condition of the Scotch crofters, and said he hoped that the Irish would assist iu rescuing them from the vulture like landlords, an act which would tend to make Ireland and Scotland more friendly. He was proceeding to violently denounce the “policy of extermination,” when the Speaker ordered him to resume his seat, because his remarks were irrelevant. Mr. Balfour, Secretary for Scotland, denied that the crofters suffered more than others of a similar class in Scotland. He said it was more a question of overpopulation than of rent. The agitation was due, in a large measure, to the example of Irelaud. The outrages and the refusal to pay rent were not due to povert". but to the advice of agitators who wished to prevent emigration, the natural rernody for overpopulation. Several members, who had obtained the floor, were ordered to resume their seats, for making irrelevant remarks, having gone on to discuss home rule. Mr. Esslemont'a amendment was finally rejected by a vote of 203 to 121. Mr. Sexton moved that the debate be adjourned. Mr. Parnell asked whether the government would give an evening sitting for the consideration of Mr. Sexton's amendment relative to the Belfast riots. Lord Randolph Churchill said that the government could not grant an evening, because it would prolong the debate through the week. Mr. Sexton was not inclined to move his amendment on Wednesday, as he wanted to postpone the report stage until Thursday; but Lord Randolph Churchill’s refusal to grant an evening for the discussion of the amendment compels Mr. Sexton to move the amendment on Wednesdav. Mr. Sexton hints that, if unrestricted, the Irish speakers will probably prolong the discussion until Friday, whereas,' if Churchill had granted an evening for thjLamendment. the discussion would have ended on Thursday. The Parnellites have received a “whip” urging their constant attendance during the debate on the estimates. At a meeting, to-day, of forty advanced Gladstonian members of Parliament, Mr. Alfred Illingworth, presiding, it was unanimously resolved to favor a forward and ageressive policy. It was also decided to notify Sir William VernonHaroourt and John Morley that the meeting desired that the home-rule struggle, commenced at the recent elections, should be strenously maintained.

FOREIGN MISCELLANY. Preparations for Restating Russian Aggression in the Far East. Yokohama, Aug. 31. —Advices from Corea say that, owing to rumors that Russia intended to establish a protectorate in Corea, the Chinese minister there telegraphed to the Pekin government asking that troops be sect to the psninsula, and that in compliance with this request the Chinese government despatched nine men-of-war, with troops on board, to Corea, and they are now anchored before Chemulpo. The dispatches further say that large numbers of Chinese soldiers had entered Seoul in the disguise of merchants. Great excitement prevailed in that town. Riotous mobs were parading the streets, and conflicts were frequent. Later advices from Corea say that the Coreans opposed the landing of Chinese marineg, whose object was unknown, and a conflict ensued. in which a number were wounded. Germany Must Watcli France. Berlin Aug. 31.—The North German Gazette reiterates that Germany has no interest whatever in Bulgaria. It says it is not worth while to keep a single German soldier under arms on account of Bulgaria. The necessity for German armaments is due to France. “Every French newspaper,” the Gazette says, “proves that France is making rapid preparations to fight, and that financial sacrifices are being made to raise the efficiency of her army. Germany must always keep her eyes fixed on France.” The Police and the Belfast Riots. London, Aug. 31.—1n the House of Commons, this afternoon, Sir Michael Hicks-Beacb, Chief Secretary for Ireland, stated that during the riots in Belfast one head constable had been killed, five officers and six members of the constabulary had been seriously wounded, and that altogether 322 policemen had b*en more or less injured iu the various encounters with the rioters. An English Investment in Mexico. City op Mexico, Aug. 31.—A powerful company of English capitalists, with headquarters in London, has got possession of an old concession for a railroad from Tuxpan to this city, and will build a road which, it is calculated, will involve the expenditure of at least $25,000,000. This is the most important investment of English capital ever made in Mexico. Lady Members of the Cobden Club. London, Aue. 31.— The celebrated Cobden Club has taken the initiative iu admitting ladies to membership. Miss Florence Nightingale heads the roll of honor in the new departure, and Mrs. G. M. Crawford, of Paris, Mrs. Cobden Lickert, daughter of the great free-trader, and Miss Raffalovich have also been elected to keep her company. Price* of Coal Advanced. New' York, Aug. 31.—The meeting of coal managers held to-day was very largely attended. After a long discussion it was decided to advance stove, egg and chestnut coal fifteen cents per ton, and grate ten cents. The meeting then adjourned until Sept 14. Physicians say that there is no remedy for consumption, and possibly, in some cases the insertion may be correct. We know, however, of many cures made by Dr. Bull’s Cough SyruD, aud will guarantee positive relief to the sufferer in every instance.

THE PUBLIC PBINTEBSHIP. Thomas E. Benedict Formally Commissioned as Successor to Mr. Bounds. The Transfer of the Office To Be Made About the 15th—Alleged Scheme for Removing Negroes to the North. THE NEW PUBLIC PRINTER. Air. Rounds’s Successor Commissioned—The Change to Occur About the 15th. Washington, Aug. 31.—The commission of Thomas E. Benedict, as Public Printer, has been received at tho White House, bearing the President’s signature, of date the 20th of August. It is understood that the new Public Printer will relieve Mr. Rounds about the 15th of September. Mr. Cadet Taylor, chief clerk of the GovernJ meat Printing Office, has resigned, and Mr. Rounds, the Public Printer, has appointed Mr. Gilbert Benedict, of New York State, in his place, who is expected here to-morrow to assume the duties of the position. The latter is a brother of Mr. Benedict, whom the President has appointed to succeed Mr. Rounds. The new chief clerk was appointed by Mr. Rounds at the request of his brother, the incoming. Public Printer. The new Public Printer will relieve Mr. Rounds on Sept. 15. and in the meantime his brother, tue new chief clerk, will familiarize himself with the business of the office. The advent of the new Public Printer naturally causes some stir among employesof the office, and there i3 some anxiety as to the policy to be adopted with reference to the chances. The impression prevails that very many changes are to be made by Mr. Benedict. From what can be learned it seems that Democrats will be installed, as a rule, as foreman and assistant foremen.

PURPOSING A NEGRO EXODUS. An Alleged Scheme for Placing Freedmen Where Their Votes Will Count. Washington Special to New York World. There is anew movement of some magnitude about to be inaugurated by the national Republican congressional committee in the way of a systematic exodus of colored people. It has Deen a matter of long-standing complaint with the Republican managers that in parts of the South there are many Republican negroes whose votes are wasted and that the race is not making any advancement. There has been for several years an organization to look after this matter. Fred Douglass, of this city, is president of the organization. He has studied the question carefully and collected many statistics. The Republican committee, which has a large sum of money at its disposal, purposes to distribute these colored men, before the campaign of 1888, where they will do the most good. Several agents have been making observations and reports upon the state of things. It is intended to send large colonies to certain parts of Missouri, where a few more votes are needed, and to Southern Indiana. Dakota, too, has b*en considered a good place for a large colony preparatory to its admission into the Union. Milton Turner, a colored lawyer, of St. Louis, who had charge of the case of the Indian Territory freedmen before Congress last winter, is actively engaged in the matter, and is highly in favor of sending a large colonv to the proposed Territory of Oklahoma. Representative Funston. of Kansas, who has recently made a trip of observation through the South, reports that, in many localities, the negroes are in worse condition than slavery. He says that he saw several large plantations in Georgia and other Southern States where no money was paid the laborers at all. The proprietor had a store at a cross-road, near the centre of the plantation, and the laborers were paid entirely from this. He says that the proprietor* manage to keep the darkies constantly in debt to them and thus dependent He thinks there will never be anything better for the colored people until they make a break for new quarters. Secretary McPherson, of the congressional committee, when questioned in regard to the proposed exodus, was disposed to be rather non committal, but said that the matter was being constantly investigated by a regular organization.

BEHRING SEA. An Incident That will Probably Determine Our Rights in These Waters. New York, Aug. 31.—A Washington special to the Post says: “Anew point las been raised in connection with the seizure by a United States revenue cutter of two Canadian vessels in Behring straits, on the ground that they were catching seals in waters ceded to the United States by Russia. Os the vessels, one is said to have been captured sixty-five miles, and the second 120 miles from the nearest land. The point made is: Did Rnssia have the right to convey to the United States, as it did by the terms of its treaty in fconnection with the sale of Alaska, the greater part of the Behring straits? Will any foreign government recognize such aright under international law? If the United States has the right to prohibit British fishermen from taking fur-seals 120 miles from land, has not the United States the same right to prohibit Norwegian whalers from taking whales within the same seas'? Our treaty rights in Behring sea have never been tested. It is possible that the seizure of these two Canadian vessels by our revenue cutter may brine these rights into dispute. Inquiry was made at the State Department to day to ascertain whether the Department had considered the matter. Assistant Secretary Porter said the subject has not yet been brought officially to the attention of the State Department, it was wholly under the control of the Treasury Department, where it would be likely to remain, unless the owners of the Canadian vessels should complain to their government, and Canada should, in turn, report to the British government, and the subject in this manner be called to the attention ot the State Department.”

PROF. GRAY’S INVENTIONS. Henry C. Strong Asks an Injunction to Prevent the Issue of Patents. Washington, Aug. 31.—A bill in equity has been filed in the District Supreme Court by C. G. Berryman, for Henry C. Strong, of Chicago, against Robert B. Vance, acting Commissioner of Patents, and Elisha A. Gray, for an injunction to restrain the issuing of a patent to the latter. The complainant states that he is the inventor of the railway electric telegraph and telephone, and made application for a patent Hay 18, 1877; that his application has been kept alive by amendment to claims, etc.; that Gray subsequently filed application for a patent for a “multiple telegraph.” which, he alleges, was by trickery and deceit stolen from him. and is nothing but a reproduction. in principle and design, of his machine and invention. He charges, on information and belief, that, by undue influences and by complicity with the examiners. Gray is about to receive a patent therefor; that the issuing of a patent to complainant is delayed by the undue influence of Gray, and the patent to Gray is about to be issned by fraud and collusion with the officers of the Patent Office, and if so issued will greatly injure and delay him, and necessitate long and tedious litigation on bis part He further alleges that he is entitled to have official action taken on his claim, and asks an injunction. Judge Hagner set the first Monciaj in September, at 10 o’clock, for a hearing. MINOR MATTERS. Instructions to Agents as to Allotments of Rands to Indians. Washington, Aug. 31.—Acting Commissioner Upshaw, of the Indian office, has issued the following letter of instructions to agents upon the vsrions reservations where, under existing laws and treaty stipulations, allotments of lands in severalty may be made: “The business of allotiog and patenting lands to Indians should tie pressed with the utmost rigor, the Indian is awakening to the importance

of individual ownership in the soil, and agents must foster typd encourage this feeling by all means in their power. The Indian asks for a ‘paper title' for his land, and, With that in his possession, has some guarantee that the land he improves will no. be taken from him. The Indians must be impressed with the fact that, if they desire to make their stay upon their reservations sure and stable, they must take up the lands and get a regular title to them from the government” Mr. Upshaw said to-day that many tribes are now as clamorous for allotments and patents as they were formerly tenacious of holding all lands in common. Hardships of American Cattle-Herders. Washington, Auer. 31.—Consul Underwood, at Glasgow, reports that men who are hired to care for cattle shipped from this country to Glasgow often come to serious want and suffering. They are usually possessors of certificates entitling them to a passage home on the vessel which took them out, but no provision is made for their sustenance while in port - , and it frequently happens that the vessel, having discharged her cargo, sails for some other port of the world than America, in which case the men are helpless, since no other ship will receive their certificates, and not being sailors, they cannot hope to work their passage. The consul suggests that if there be a way of compelling shippers of cattle to provide for the maintenance of their men while in foreign ports, and to make sure of their speedy return home, a great and growing evil will be remedied. General Notes. Washington, Aug. 31.—The receipts of the Patent Office for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1886, were $1,196,167, or $121,193 more than for the previous fiscal year. In 1886 there were 38,602 applications for patents and 24,131 patents were granted, against 35 688 applications and 22,296 patents granted in 1885. It is estimated at the Treasurer’s office that the reduction or the public debt for August will be about $3.00Q 000. A supplemental volume.of the Records of the Rebellion, containing a full account of the Fitz John Porter court-martial proceedings, will soon be issued, to fill the deficiency of the records, in which no mention was made of the case. General Joseph E. Johnston, Commissioner of Railroads, returned to this city this evening from a tour of inspection of subsidized railroads. He looks remarkably well, and to an Associated Press reporter said that there was nothing the matter with him except fatigue from his long journey. He declined to say anything regarding his inspection of the railroads before making his report to the Interior Department. The Comptroller of the Currency has authorized the Deadwood National Bank, of Deadwood, D. T. t to begin business, with a capital of SIOO,000.

The audience burst into applause, and recalled Miss Craiger after she bad retired from the stage. Fools or Hypocrites—Which? Philadelphia Press. Democratic papers ought to be reprinting about this time the regular summer article about an “absentee government.” Washington was never emptier than this August, and Demo cratic papers never emptier of complaint about it We wonder if any Democratic editor ever believed the rot he used to write about President Grant’s “absenteeism.” If he did, what a fool he must think himself now; and, if he didn’t, what a hypocrite he must have been theu.
