Madrid, Oct s. —The Cabinet was in session five hours discussing the sentences of death imby the court-martial on the ieaders of the recent revolt, and finally decided to advise the Queen to commute the sentences. A petition for the pardon of the rebels, signed by six thousand merchants and tradesmen, is published. Several officers, sergeants and privates have been promoted in reward for the zeal they displayed and wounds received in the work of suppressing the revolt. High Temperature in London. London, Oct. s. —The temperature in London to-day has been abnormally high. The thermometer registered 8(D in the shade this afternoon. Never before during the past forty-six years has the temperature of the city been so warm at any time during the month of October. Warm weather prevails all over the continent. The Paris theaters are described as veritable furnaces, and the attendance is said to be very limited in consequence of the heat. Cable Notes. It is rumored in diplomatic circles at Berlin that Lord Randolph Churchill and Sir Edward Malet will shortly pay an official visit to Prince Bismarck. Miners of Yorkshire demand an increase of 10 per cent, in wages. If a strike should result from a refusal to grant the increase asked for, it will affect 40,000 persons. Mr. Parnell, his mother and sister, intend upending the winter in the south of France. They will probably vist Rome, and not return to England before the reopening of Parliament. The famous Gcethe library, which was the property of the late Solomon Hirzel, a Swiss scholar, will be sold at auction at Leipsic, the sale beginning on Oct. 25. This is said to be the finest collection of Goethe’s works that has ever been auctioned. Archdeacon Cavanagh, parish priest of Kil4are, County Kildare, Ireland, and formerly President, of St. Patrick's College at Carlow, was instantly killed, yasterday morning, while •elebrating mass at bis own altar, by portions of it falling on him. A volcanic eruption has occurred on the island of Haipai, one of the Toga group of the Friendly islands. The whole island is now covered with volcanic dust. Haipai has a population of about five hundred. A steamer has been dispatched to ascertain their present condition.

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON. A Strong Effort To Re Made to Kid the Departments of Republicans. Special to the Indianapoliß Journal. Washington, Oct. 5.—A very strong effort will be put forth as soon as the elections are over to get rid of the Republicans in the departments. It is ascertained that a large number of men who are in inferior places, recently appointed, have b<en promised promotions after the elections, wnile others who have not been appointed have been assured that they soon wiil be. Although a great many changes have occurred in the departments under this administration about two-thirds of the old force, and almost half of the of bureaus and divisions yet remain at their posts. There will presently be a renewal of the charges of “offensive partisanship,” which will he the battle-cry of the officers wielding the guillitone, and then the •tampede will begin. One of Senator Sherman's Hard Hits. Special to the lndianzoolis Journal, Washington, Oct. s.—No speech has been delivered during any of the impending campaigns which was so closely read at the White House and in the departments as that by Senator Sherman, at Portsmouth, 0., on Sept. 28. It was pronounced a hard hit on account of the preciseness of the information it contained and the courteous bearing of it all. The head of a department says: “It is strong because it is so gentlemanly.” The financial views of Senator Sherman were eagerly read, especially those relating to the failure of bond calls and the efforts of Congress to force Secretary Manning to reduce the surplus in the Treasury. It is conceded by all men here that the speech has done more to elevate Senator Sherman than anything he has said in years. Federal Officials and Politics. Washington, Oct. 5. —The Cabinet meeting to-day was attended by Secretaries Endicott and Lamar, Attorney-general Garland, Postmastergeneral Vilas and acting Secretary Fairchild. An interesting question arose in the case of a United States attorney who had been nominated for Congress, with regard to the propriety of his continuance in office pending the result of the congressional election. The general opinion expressed was that the incumbent had better resign his federal office, and he will be so informed. This action is in accordance with the recent executive order in regard to federal officials participating in politics.

Belief that the Steamer Anchorla Is Delayed by Reason of a Broken Shaft. New York, Oct, s.—lt is thought at the office of the Anchor Line Company tUILt the steamer Anchoria, which would have been in port last Thursday, has brokeu her shaft, as the Devonia, of the same line, arrived to-day and reported severe weather outside. The route taken by the Glasgow boats is a lonely one. and other vessels would therefore not be likely to pass her. No fear is entertained for her safety, as she is a well-built vessel and under good management. Steamship Arrivals. New York, Oct 5. —Arrived: Devonia. from Glasgow; the Queen, Wyoming, from Liverpool. Philadelphia, Oct 5. Arrived: British Princess, from Liverpool. Queenstown, Oet s.—Arrived: Egypt, from New York. Fire In a Box Factory. St. Louis, Oct. s. —Fire broke out late last night in the box factory of Henry Alt jr., and caused a loss of $15,000; covered by insurance.

HENRY GEORGE’S CANDIDACY The Land-Reform Agitator Accepts the Nomination of the Labor Unions. lie Flatly Declines to Make Promises of Any Kind, Beyond Stating that He Will Have No Favorites in Enforcing the Laws. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New York, Oct s. —The great hall of the Cooper Union was filled to overflowing this evening witn the friends and sympathizers of Henry George, the occasion being the tendering to him ot the nomination for Mayor of New York by tbe trade and labor organizations of the city. The utmost enthusiasm prevailed, and at every mention of Mr. George's name there were resoundiog cheers, long continued. The platform was filled with prominent people of the labor movement. All the labor organizations of the city attended toe meeting in a body, and the crowd was bo great that it was necessary to have a number of outside meetings. The meeting in the hall was presided over by John McMackin, who presented Henry George to the audience, and tendered him the nomination for Mayor, saving that it was a nomination such as never had. been before presented to any candidate in this country. The workingmen, he said, had always done the voting, and the only difference now was that they had selected the candidate, instead of waiting for the politicians to make the choice. When Mr. George advanced to the front of the stage there was a great shout of welcome, the vast audience rising to greet him. Cheer after 'cheer went up, and for several minutes the enthusiasm was such as seldom, if ever, has been known at a political meeting in New York. Mr. George spoke for over an hour, his address being listened to with the greatest attention. He said that when his nomination was first talked about he regarded it as something not to be thought of. He had no desire to be Mayor of New York, but he had concluded that the workingmen should go into politics, for he had come to believe that politics was the only way by which anything could be secured for labor. He had asked sos a guarantee of the good faith of the workingmen, which they had given him in the shape of nearly 40,000 names of citizens pledged to vote for him, and therefore he accepted the nomination and was proud of it. Never before had a man received from his fellow-citizens such a compliment as this, and never should any act of his bring discredit on it. “Now,” he said, “it devolves upon you to elect me. I solicit the suffrages of all citizens, rich or poor, white or black, who desire reform in government.” He would make no pledges, and all who accepted him must accept him as the candidate of organized labor. He believed every effort would be made for his defeat; falsehoods and slanders would be uttered, and great amounts of money spent by those who had had their hands so long in the pockets of the people. They would hesitate at nothing to prevent his election, but he believed if the workingmen would stand firm and make a united effort, the victory would be accomplished. “If elected, as I believe I will be,” ho said, “I will do my utmost to discharge my duties faithfully and well, and to give the people of this city a clean government. I will enforce the laws against friends as well as against foes. I will be Mayor of the whole city, and preserve order at all risks.” Mr. George spoke of political reform and of social reform. He thought this movement was the beginning of the overthrow of industrial slavery in this country. If the workinemen of New York would stand boldly and bravely together, such a change might come, and they would have the honor of having led the van in this movement for the emancipation of human labor. The movement, he said, was that which Gladstone described in a recent speech. It was a movement of the masses against the classes. Politics, *he said, were rotten to the core, and the movement not only aims at political reform, but also at social reform. New Jersey Republicans. Trenton, N. J., Oct. s. —The Republican State convention met in Taylor’s Opera-house at noon to-day. At 12:15 Chairman Hobart, of the State committee, called the convention to order. Mr. Hobart next named for temporary chairman ex Senator Alexander G. Cattell, of Camden, and he was elected. Mr. Cattell thanked the convention for the honor paid to a nearly worn out veteran in the Republican party. He referred to the struegle of two years hence, when, he declared, the Plumed Knight of Maine would be the Republican nominee for President. The announcement set the convention wild with enthusiasm. The delegates first applauded, then cheered, and finally fully haif of them rose to their feet and waved their hats and hurrahed for several minutes. On the conclusion of Mr. Cattell’s speech, the election of vice-president and secretaries and the appointment of committees proceeded, after which a recess was taken till 2 o’clock. At 2:30 o'clock Chairman Cattell called the convention to order, Tbe committee on permanent organization reported for permanent chairman of the' convention Congressman William Walter Phelps. He was warmly greeted and made a semi-humorous speech as to the efforts at the selection of a candidate for Governor, and referred to the brightened prospects of the Republican party to elect their nominees. All the convention has to do is to nominate just such a man as the Democrats did not nominate. The convention then proceeded to the nomination of a candidate for Governor, and the following names were presented: Gardner R. Colbv, of Essex: B. Frank Hower, of Warren, and John H. Brewer, of Mercer. Hower was nominated on the first ballot, and the nomination was made unanimous. The committee on resolutions, through Major Pangborn, of Jersey City, read the platform agreed upon. It reiterates its adherence to National Republican principles and declares itself the friend of the workingmen. It protests against importation of contract labor and recognizes the rieht of workingmen to unite for protection. It favors compulsory education, and opposes tbe competition of convict labor with honest labor. It favors equal taxation and appproves of restrictive legislation on the manufacture of bogus butter. It condemns the removal of crippled Union soldiers from public office, and also tbe attitude of President Cleveland on the pension question. It calls for protection against menhaden fishers, and other enemies of Jersey fishermen. The outstanding trade dollar should be redeemed at its face value. It accuses the Democratic party of violating its promise to sustain the civil-service law, and it declares its belief in the submission to the people, at a special election, of the question of controlling the liquor trade. Finally, it indorses the gubernatorial candidate. Connecticut Municipal Flections. Hartford, Conn., Oct. s.—Returns from 154 towns give the Republicans seventy-nine and the Democrats forty-eight; twenty-seven towns are divided. If the eleven missing towns vote as last year, the Republicans will have eightythree towns aud the Democrats fifty-two, with thirty divided. For Congress. Newport, Ky., Oct 5 —The Democrats of tho Sixth congressional district, this morning renominated, by acclamation, Hoo. John G. Carlisle.

the forty-fourth ballot stood: John E. Fedewa, Democrat, -120; Whitney Jones, Greenbacker, nominating Fedewa. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. s. —The Republican conferees of the Twenty-first congressional district nominated Welty McCullough, of Greensburg. Pa., at 6 o’clock this morning, after an all-night session. THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR. [Concluded from First Page.] sentation is more apparent now than ever before. The officers have begun to realize the difficulty ahead of them in handling so large a meeting and avoiding a ruction. It is already apparent that capitalists and manufacturers, intend to evince a deep interest in the proceedings of this convention. Many of them have agents here who will keep them advised of the progress and try to influence the work. Mr. Powderly, Secretary Turner and others prominent in the management of the organization, have received many communications from employers, making suggestions, but the exact nature of the documents cannot be ascertained, as they have not been laid before the delegates. Communications of whatever character will bo referred to committees when an organization is perfected. It is understood that many of the leading manufacturers of the country have shown a disposition to make terms with tbe Knights, by which strikes and boycotts may be avoided. These are among the most important topics for consideration. The source of suggestions upon all subjects is considered an executive secret, and only hints can be had of what mav be-expected or what is received in that line at this time. Messrs. Powderly, Turner and other officers refuse to be interviewed at this time upon present or future work, and desire it stated that all interviews upon these subjects credited to them are unfounded. It was 3 o’clock when General Master Powderly called the convention to order this afternoon. The delay was for the purpose of affording the committee on credentials time to complete its report, the reading of which occupied the time till 5:30 o'clock. All of the eight or ten contests were laid aside and the uncontested cases passed upon and the delegates seated. The Brooklyn delegates, who presented themselves as representatives of anew and independent division, claiming an organization, were adversely reported upon, as wore also other contested cases. All of the contests, except that of Brooklyn, grew out of the basis on which the delegates were elected. It is claimed that too many delegates were selected. It is provided in the constitution that the delegates to the annual conventions shall be chosen one to every 1.000 members or fraction thereof, on the basis of the July report of membership. The delegates contested were selected on the basis of membership as disclosed by the last monthly report, which is largely in excess of that of July: Avery discussion arose over the report of the committee on the Brooklyn delegates, the Home Cluo—District 49, of New York city—fighting for the report, while what appeared to be a majority of the convention, antagonized the report of the committee. It is generally believed that tho report, will he voted down to-morrow tnorniDg, and the Brooklyn men admitted. * After the adoption of all of the report affecting uncontested cases, the convention fixed its hours lor daily meetings at 9 a. m. to 12 o’clock noon, and 2toGp. M. For the present, at least, there will be no night sessions. Mr. Powderly to-day received the following telegrams: Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 5. T. V. Powder'y, G. M. \V., llichinomi, Va.: The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemon send congratulations and best wishes, aud wish you and your order every success, I). P. i-ARG KANT, Grand Master Fireman.

Richmond, Ind., Oct. 5. T. V. Powderly, National Assembly, K. of L., Richmond, Va.: Accept my humble thanks and congratulations for the dignified stand you have taken on behalf of equal and exact justice for my race, especially as shown by District 49. J. M. Townsend, Colored. A committee was designated to make suitable answer to the disnatch of Mr. Saryeant, and then the convention adjourned untilo'clock tomorrow morning. The committee on credentials will be in session until late to-night, hearing witnesses and consulting documentary evidence in the contested cases. Avery lively session is expected to-morrow morning. After the contests are disposed of Mr. Powderly intends to deliver his annual address. During the morning session, to-day, Delegate R. F. Trevelhck, of Detroit, addressed the convention. He declared that his faith in the Darwinian theory had been strengthened lately by the color-line controversy. He was followed by Hugh Cameron, of Kansas, who rose to a question of privilege, and said that he wanted permission to publish an address of welcome to the women representatives of the General Assembly. So much had already been said and written on the color line that he was afraid Brother Trevellick’s faith in the Darwinian theory would be still further strengthened if the progressive members of this intelligent order remained silent in regard to the sex line. Permission was granted to publish the address, which is in verse. The committee on arrangements of locai Knights, appointed to determine the details of the entertainment to be given visiting Knights next Monday, have decided to let the question of commingling of white and colored people at the ball that eveuing settle itself. It has been arranged to have two dancing pavilions ' at the State fair grounds. Cha’rman Lynch said this afternoon that it was not the intention to assign one to white Knights and the other to colored Knights. This order recognized no such distinctions, but at the same time the feeling here in regard to social inter course of the races was so Well understood they anticipated no trouble on that score. It was expected, of course, that the colored people would prefer to associate with their own people. If, however, a colored Ivnight and lady should choose to dance with the white people in the other pavillion, he knew of no intention to prevent them. When asked if colored guests should present themselves at tho tables where whites were seated at the banquet, whut would be done, he replied that he expected no trouble in that way. but did not suppose they would be prohibited from doing so. He intended speaking to Mr. Powderly on the subject in a das’ or so. He repeated that ho expected no trouble. The funds for the entertainment of guests were raised by the local assemblies of Richmond, colored and white. The Knights here have separate assemblies, and the colored Knights have contributed something more than the whites to the entertainment fund. The arrangements for Monday next incindo a parade of the local assemblies and visiting Knights, with Mr. Powderly, the executive committee and invited guests in carriages. Speeches will be made by Senator-elect Daniels, Governor Lee, Mr. Powderly, and others A Irrge number of the New York delegates appeared at the Academy of Music to-night, accompanied by Farrell, the colored delegate. They purchased orchestra seats, and Farrell was admitted without objection. This action of the New Yorkers is expected to provoke the resentment of many whites who belong to Richmond assemblies. A Novel Legislative Scheme. Richmond, Oct. s.— At the special session of the General Assembly, held at Cleveland, Messrs. Beaumont, McCarthy and Campbell were appointed a committee on legislation, to go to Washington to watch legislation in the interests of labor. Beaumont and McCarthy were in Washington during the session of Congress, and, shortly after adjournment, prepared x report. which was printed and circulated through assemblies of the Knights of Labor, and the substance of which was made public throughou the preaa. Ralph Beaumont, chairman of th has prepared a supplementary rep will be presented at the present convention, and on which action will be taken. The report recites tho difficulties in the way of securing legislation in the interests of workingmen, and makes the followlowing suggestions: That this b xiy establish a congress of its own at Washington oaring the balance of the present session of the United States Congress—a period of one hundred days, commencing Dec. I, 1886; this corffress to consist of one delegate from each of the thirty-eight States, they to be selected from the best speakers and debaters in the order; that they he allowed a compensation of $5 per day. and be allowed equitable traveling expenses to and from their

homes. They shall organize the body by selecting a speaker from their own number, and shall appoint the same number of committees as are now appointed by the,United States House of Representatives, and they shall be designated by the same titles. This body shall be in session daily, eight hours per day, from 9 A. If. to 6 P. M., with one hour for dinner. This body snail, as soon as it is organized, procure a copy of every bill that is introduced into either branch of the national Legislature, and it shall at once be referred to the appropriate committee and such committee shall at once report the bill to the body, with such recommendations as it, in its judgment, may deem best, when it shall debate the same, and, if amended by the body, a committee shall at once be appointed to take the bill, in its amended form, and present the same to the committee of either branch of the National Legislature that lias it under consideration, and request that the amendments be inserted in the bilL This body shall have a clerk, assistant clerk and a stenographer; also, a sergeant-at-arms aud an assistant sergeant-at-arms, one doorkeeper and assistant door-keeper, all of which shall be members of the order. The general executive board shall levy an assessment pro rata on each member of the order to defray the expenses of this body. There shall also be published by this body a daily record of its proceedings, including the debates, and a copy of the same be furnished to each labor assembly, which shall be sold to each member of the order and others at cost. This, in brief, is submitted to you as a supplemental report of the committee. Your committee is of the opinion that the cost of maintaining such a body for one hundred days would not exceed 25 cents per member, and that its effect as an educator of the peonle would far exceed that of the national legislature, as it would be untrammeled by any partisan bias. THE INDIANA CANVASS. Ex-Governor Porter ami Hon. Joseph B. Cheadle at Kokomo. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Ivokomo, Oct. s.—Ex-Governor Albert G. Porter addressed a large Republican meeting this afternoon in the court-house yard. He made a masterly review of tbe issues existing between the two great parties, and showed up Democratic pretenses and hypocrisy in their true iight. He was followed by Hon. Joseph B. Cheadle, Repub lican candidate for Congress from the Ninth district. who appeared for the first time before the people of Howard county. Mr. Cheadle spoke at length on the tariff question and the infamous Democratic gerrymander. The meeting was the largest political gathering of the season. Eighth District Politics. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Terre Haute, Oct s. —The anti-Lamb Democrats will, if they have not already done so, serve notice on ex-Senator McDonald that if he persists in carrying out the purpose an nounced by him at the Yoorhees meeting, of re turning here to join in the effort to preven Lambs defeat, he wiil thereby endanger tho legislative ticket. These Democrats intend to use all their influence against Mr. McDonald’s election to the Senate if he does not keep out of the fight iu this district. The Republicans are arranging for a big meeting in the near future, at which Colonel Thompson will reply to Senator Voorhees’s speech. Senator Sherman wifi speak here on the 20th, and ex-Governor Porter will make a speech some time this mouth. Hillsboro, Oct. 5 —The opening of the campaign here, last night, wa6 a great success. The crowd that came to hear the speech of Hou. James T. Johnston, candidate for Congress, was so large that the hall would not hold half of them, and his speech was attentively listened to bv scores of honest Democrats who are getting tired of Lambism. Mr. Johnston’s Congress has been suefi that all classes have the most perfect confidence in him. and he receives an ovation wherever he goes in this county.

Judge Baldwin at New Castle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal New Castle, Oct. s.—The Hon. D. P. Bald vriu, of Logansport, addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting of Republicans at the courthouse here last night.

He also showed up the Democratic corruption and mismanagement of our State and national affairs.

BRANYAFS UNLAWFUL VOTE The Discreditable Record of a Democratic Congressional Candidate. Irrefutable Proof that James C. Branyan Violated the Election Laws—Warninff to ExSenator McDonald—Campaign Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Marion, Oct 5.—A musty document, somewhat yellow with aee, which will prove mighty interesting reading to James C. Branyan. Major Steele’s opponent in the congressional race in this county. was brought to light here to day. The document referred to is tha official list of those who voted in this township at the election of State, congressional and county officers, on the second Tuesday in October, 1858. The list shows that James C. Branyan was the third voter who cast his ballot at that election. The poll list, with the tally-sheet accompanying, is properly sigtfed and certified to by the inspector, judges and clerks of tho election board. If Mr. Branyan voted at the October election in 1858, as he undoubtedly did, the evidence is indisputable that he exercised the right of suffrage at the rather premature ace of nineteen years. On page 289, Volume 1, of the printed proceedings of the Kidd-Steele contest, Mr. Branyan, being on his oath, testified as follows: “My name is James C. Branyan; age, forty-six years.” This testimony was given on the 16th of February, 18S5. Again, on the 16th of April, 1885, Mr. Branyan being on the witness stand giving evidence bearing on the same contest, testified: “My name is James C Branyan; age, forty-six years.” Vol. I, page 342. If Branyan was forty-six years old in 1885. it follows that he was born in 1839. If be was born in 1839 and voted in 1838. a little addition and subtraction shows that he voted two years before he had a right to. Again, on page 344 of the printed proceedings of the Kidd-Steeie contest, Mr Branyan testified that he had been a resident of Huntington township. Huntington county, since 1545, except during the years 1868 and 1869. From this evidence it appears that hs was not only a minor, but a non-resident, when he voted in Center township, Grant county, in October. 1858. Something of a commotion in political circles was caused when the discovery of this record, which, after the lapse of twenty-eight years, comes up to plague Branyan, was made known. It is conceded by his political friends that this fact in Branvan’s political career will draw from his support large numbers, even of the rock ribbed Democracy, who are usually unflinching in their support of the ticket. Years ago Branyan left the Republican party, as he says, on account of its corruption, but this act will cause Mr. Branyan to be on the defensive from this time on until the election. There is no doubt of the identity of the Branyan of 1858 with the Branyan of 1886. He was then a student in the Indiana College, then ir. operation in Marion, conducted by Rev. Samuel Sawyer, who is still a resident of this place. Several of the leuding business and professional men of Marion were his schoolmates and have kept track of him since. No one will seek to deprive Mr. Branyan of that tempering and mitigation which the lapse of time gives to criminal offenses, but a club has been placed in the hands of his adroit and sleepless political opponents with which he will be mercilessly belabored from now until election day. The chances for the election of Major Steele in this district are steadily improving, notwithstanding the odds against him. Reports from all parts of the district bring information of dissatisfaction among the Democrats, growing out of dissatisfaction with the administration, and disgust with the puerile gabble of Branyan on tbe stump. Bets are freely offered by Republicans that Major Steele will be his own successor, with few takers.

Mr. Cleveland’* Civil Service. Bob IngersoH’e Interview. Mr. Cleveland is in a difficult position. He is compelled to be some Democrat, just enough not to lose his party, but not enough to lose the mugwumps, and he has to be just enough mugwump to save that wing, but not too much —just enough. When he wants to put anew man in and an old one out he is a Democrat. When he wants to keep a friend in, then be is a mugwump. This gives him a great advantage. Politically he ought to be called ambidexterous, as he works with both bands. I think he is about as popular as he has been at any time. Falling Leaves. Boston Record. The Western State expositions have been opened and closed under picturesque showers of woman suffrage leaflets. Twenty thousand pages went to Minneapolis, half as many to Indianapolis, while Vermont, nearer home, had thirty thousand leaflets to help on the cause. There is aceitaiu autumnal splendor to some of these arguments, and the beauty, doubtless, fascinated not a few,but, after all, it is the Legislature and not the fair-goer that must be reacned. Possibly, however, the longest way round is the shortest to success. The Earthquake Region. Charleston, S. C., Oct. s.—No shocks were felt here to-day. A slight tremor occurred at Sumrr.erviile. at 6 o’clock this morning. Advices from Ninety-six, S.
