made the colored people here unbearable, and they eame here to-night intending to dance with the white folks. We never can allow this, and so had no dance at all." “How do you generally manage it?” “Why, the two races have their own halls, and always after these occasions we have a grand ball lam a poor man. I live by hard work, and this is a great loss to me. They have obtained the rent for the stalls and here 1 am left with all the provisions on hand." “Where is the committee?" “I don’t know. It was impossible to get anything out of them. We are the losers because of Mr. Powderlv’s attitude. It will hart the Knights of Labor in the South." It is estimated that this parade and entertainment has cost the Knights of Labor in lost time 15.000. which the workingmen of the country aave to pay. It was a farce from the first to the And, and so the most intelligent Knights of Labor admit to-night. THE CHICAOO STRIKE. The Packers and Their Employes as Far Apart as Ever. Chicago, Oct 13. —The great striko at the stockyards is evidently no nearer a settlement than it wp.s the day after it was begun. The reason for this is traceable to but one source—the reluctance of the packers, or a majority of them, to treat with Messrs. Butler and Barry, who were sent here by the Richmond convention of the Knights of Labor to bring about au amicable adjustment of the differences between the packers and the strikers. The packers say they have no organization, and are only acting in concert in this emergency because they have a mutual interest in the result. Consequently they have held no meetings, and neither Mr. Barry nor Mr. Butler has been able to see more than a single individual at a time. It was given out this forenoon that the packers would hold a meeting in the Board of Trade and would receive the Knights of Labor committee, with a view to ending the strike, but the meetteg was not held, although the representatives of the strikers were ou hand at the appointed hour. Rather discouraged at their lack of success, they returned to the stockyards, and subsequently Mr. Barry had an interview with Mr. Marshall, of the Chicago Packing and Provision Company. After this interview Mr. Barry said: “We hare not accomplished anything as yet, as we have not been able to get the packers together for a conference. I have not any doubt that the strike will be ended amicably, and that the men will return to work Just as soon as we can make known to all the packers their demands. The gentlemen Ibaveseen so Far have all taken kindly to them, and Almost all promised me their assistance in the matter. The men want eight hours a day, whether they get eight or ten hours’ pay. and they are willing to work as many extra hours as the packers desire. In brief, they want the eight hour day to bean established thing. They have found it a most desirable change from ten hours, and don't wish to return to the old system." At the stockyards everything has been quiet during the day. Crogin & Cos., one of the packing firms that stopped when the strike began, resumed work to-day on the eight-hour system. During an interview to day Mr. Barry said: "If I find that things are as I sometimes suspect they are. and that the packers are playing a waiting game, I will take more energetic measures at once, and on my return to Richmond shall tell the Knights there that Armour’s beef is not as good as it used to be, and we will see how the opinions of two millions of men throughout the country will affect his trade.”
STRIKE AT MINNEAPOLIS. Bailway Yard Crews Cease Work Without Presenting Grievances. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct 13.—This morning the yard crews, switchmen, etc., of the Minneapolis & St Louis, the Manitoba, the Northern Pacific, and the Chicago, Minneapolis & Omaha railroads quit work without giving notice to any of the roads. The men claim they are doing the same work for which yard men in Chicago receive an average of * $lO per month more. The men, so far, have conducted themselves peaceably. All lines have taken precautions to prevent any outbreak. The officials of the roads state that no grievances have been presented by the men, and that the strike is engineered by au outside union. The switchmen in the Milwaukee road’s employ have not yet struck, but are working under the protection of the company’s special police, which arrived from Chicago to-night, and who will remain here pending a settlement of the difficulty. The strike, so far, is merely local, and it is expected local matters will be adjusted to-morrow. The switchmen on all roads in St. Paul, it is expected, will go out to-morrow. It is probable, however, that a conference will her* held to-morrow between a committee of strikers and officials of roads interested, which, it is believed, will prevent a further spread of the strike and result in a speedy adjustment of the difficulty. _ Planting Teeth in Artificial Soekets, Mew York Special. A novel operation was shown and explained, on Saturday, to a company of fifty dentists and others interested in dental and medical surgery, at the house of Dr. C. A. Woodward, No. 38 West Thirty-fourth street. The operation was the successful transplantation of teeth into artificial sockets, and their firm growth into the places made for them. Two subjects, one a colored man, were present to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the incredulous dentists present the success of this method. A hole is bored in the bone under the gum where it is desired that the new tooth shall take root, and in this the tooth is put and fastened with ligatures. The ligatures in the case of one of the patients were removed in the presence of the dentists, and the tooth, which had been put in on Tuesdav, was found to have taken firm root. Dr. Win. J. Younger, of San Francisco, explained the operation, and claims that it is anew idea. Dr. Younger will address the Academy of Medicine to-morrow night on his discovery, and explain the operation.

THE RIGHTS OF THE BUL GARS Outsiders Have No Authority to Interfere with the Election Results. Critical Condition of Affairs at Sofia— I Turkey Rejects Russian Overtures for Action Against England—Notes by Cable. PLUCKY BULGARIA. Denial of the Right of Russia to Question the Result of the Elections. Sofia, Oct. 13.—The elections in Bulgaria for members of the Great Sobranje have resulted in the return of 480 government candidates, twentysix members of the Zankeroff party, and fifteen adherents of M. Karaveloff. The German agent at Sofia describes the position of affairs as extremely critical. It is reported that Rossia has notified the powers of the necessity for immediate occupation of Bulgaria The Bulgarian government, in reply to the Russian notes, denies the right of any authority other than the national assembly to condemn the acts of the government. The validity of the elections, the government holds, can be tested only by the Bulgarian Constitution. The Russians themselves, the government adds, were responsible for Sunday’s riots. General Kaulbars, under the circumstances, has telegraphed to St Petersburg, asking whether he shall proceed on his journey or not The St. Petersburg Vedomosti attacks the Bulgarian government for deriding the envoy of the Czar and iuciting mobs to assail the Russian consulates and to insult General Kaulbars. It says: “Russia was never more grossly affronted. A decisive word from the Czar must save the honor of Rossia.” It is asserted that Turkey has rejected Russian overtures for joint action against England and Austria. The inducement offered was the reoccupation of Bosnia and Herzgovina by Turkey; Russia to proclaim a protectorate over and to occupy Bulgaria; Egypt to be occupied by a mixed French and Turkish garrison, under the supreme command of a French general, and Greece to be given back her lost territory. The proposals also referred to a campaign against India. France.strongly supported Russia, and offered financial assistance to Turkey. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. Henry George’s Candidacy an Introduction of Parnell Tactics in America. London, Oct 13.—The Times publishes a leader commenting on the Henry George movement which, it says, has fallen on American politics, asM whieh it pronouncss unexampled. “The Republican revolt," continues the paper, “which brought Mr. Cleveland into power was, in its way, as remarkable as the national uprising in England against Mr. Gladstone’s abuse of bis unequalled power and the confidence reposed iu him by his countrymen. In both cases the wrench was severe, and was faced with the utmost reluctance, and in both cases there was a moral emancipation, and the disappointment of the defeated persons, who place party above every other consideration, was cruelly bitter. The appearance of Mr. George as a candidate for the mayoralty of New York marks the introduction into America of the characterise; tactics of Parnellism. Americans teli us confidently that this fooling with anarchy will not be tolerated, We hope it may be so, for the sake of civilization and the world’s prosperity." France Is Ready for War. Paris, Oct 13.—M. Camille Pelletan, in an article in La Justice, commenting on M. Lavedon's statement in Figaro that General Boulanger ha3 prepared a plan for a continental campaign, says: “France does not desire war, but the war cloud hanging over her may break at any moment. No French general can materially affect the situation, either for peace or for war; but if a general has activity of spirit that inspires confidence, no good Frenchman should blame him. Europe enjoys a truce, not peace. The situation of France and Germany has been created bv the victory of force over right. Can that offspring of force, the German empire, go on living except by the continued victory of violence?"
Programme of the Spanish Conservatives. Madrid, Oct. 13.—The Conservatives have resolved to attack tne Ministry at the opening of the Cortes for their delay and lack of energy in dealing with the insurgents in the late revolt, and for their hesitation in the work of trying and punishing the offenders.

Villacampa, the leader of the insurgents, and wili, in fact, oppose any government which has Sagasta at its head. England Seeks a New Coaling Station. Paris, Oct 13. —The Soir’s Berlin correspondent learns that England is renewing her efforts to induce Sweden to allow her to establish a coaling station on the island of Gottlana or on a neighboring island. The correspondent says that during the Afghan crisis negotiations for the cession of Gottland to England were on the point of being concluded, but that they fell through owing to the energetic opposition of Russia and Germany. Hinting at Stern Measures. London, Oct 13.—The Attorney-general, ;n a speech at Sandown, Isle of Wight, this evening, said that the government would not be deterred from suppressing Irish crime and outrage, and the wicked oppression of the weak by the strong, with the aid of gold from other countries. The government, he said, was determined to maintain the existing laws. Cable Notes. The Dublin Evening Mail says that the Rev. Augustus Stopford Brooke, the eminent Unitarian preacher, has become crazy, and has been confined in an insane asylum. Germany has decided to supply her whole army with repeating rifles. The four corps stationed on the Western frontier of the empire are already equipped with the improved arms.

SHOCKING REVELATIONS. How the Dead at Ward's Island Hospital Haye Been Mutilated bj Physicians. New York, Oct. 13. —The investigation as to the manner in which the bodies of people who die in the hospital at Ward’s Island are treated by the physicians m charge there, was yesterday begun by the Ward’s Island committee of the Board of Emigration Commissioners. Sexton Peter Krapohl, the undertaker on the island, was called as the first witness. He said he had been undertaker for one year, having served the previous two years as orderly in the hospital. He had charge of preparing for burial all bodies to be interred on the island. An anymous letter, which called attention to the alleged ghoulish prsctices, was read to him. and he was asked to give, in his own way, all that he knew about the manner in which the bodies were treated before burial. Krapohl said that almost every body was subjected to a post mortem examination, and he knew of cases in which they had been mutilated by various physicians. When asked to enumerate cases, with dates and definite explanations, he produced a book in which entries of deaths had been made by him during the year. He read off these instances: Patrick Furlong, died Nov. 13. 1885. and his brain and stomach were removed; Catherine Farrell, a child, born dead on Dec. 31, 1885. was skinned and the body boiled. Krapohl said he performed these operations, acting under orders from Dr. Walker, of the hospital staff. He said the child was a fully developed one. That was the only case in which he knew of a body having been skinned or boiled. Julia Richendich, twenty one years old, died March 5 last, and her head was cut off. skinned and cleaned by Dr. Walker, who had the head carried to his rooms. On May 23 last, Claus Bursch committed suicide on the island. The coroner was notified. Before he arrived an autopsy was performed on the bodv. The top of the skull was sawed off and the brain removed. Krapohl was then instructed to ‘‘fix" the body for the coroner, which he did by taking the top of the skull from the dpad man lying on the slab and putting it on Burschs’s head. Coroner Messemer afterward called, viewed the body, and gave a permit for burial, without discovering that an autopsy had been performed. On June 9 last, Gustav Frederick died, and his body was placed in the dead house in the morning. The house was locked up, but in the afternoon, when the untaker returned, both the eyes were gone, and the right eye of a man lying on another slab had been t;. v en out. Frederick’s wife afterward came to see the body of her husband, and when she found cotton stuffed in the holes where the eves ought to have been, the witness said: “She kicked up an awful row." Kraphol then enumerated seven other cases in which male and female bodies had been dissected by various physicians. Krapohl said he knew what he was talking about, for he had been present at every one of the autopsies, with the single exception of the one in which the two men he spoke of had been left minus their eyes. The undertaker knew of one case in which a part of the lee of a corpse had been cut off, and another where the physician had removed the upper half of a man’s skull, tuking ono eye with it. In several instances infants had been dissected, and. after the bodies had been sewed up, they were placed in the coffins, the parts taken out for examination being placed in the coffins by the sides of the bodies—not put back in their respective places. In answer to a question by the chairman, Krapohl said that be did not consider it his duty to report these occurrences to the commissioners. Commissioner Stephenson elicited from him, however, the statement that he was afraid to do so for fear that the physicians would have him discharged, as they had others disposed of for reporting their actions. Krapohl said he did not know whether the physicians got permission to make autopsies or not, but he had heard relatives strongly protest against them. Dr. Mantle, the phvsician in charge at Ward’s Island, here delivered what Commissioner Hurlbut called a “sockdolager" by saying that in the case of the man who had lost his eves, the undertaker had carelessly left the body too near the floor, and during his absence from tho deadhouse the rats had eaten the eyes out.
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. The Remains of Chief-justice Chase En Route to Their Resting Place at Cincinnati. Washington, Oct. 13.—The remains of Chiefjustice Salmon P. Chase left Washington by a special train, which precedes the regular 3:30 train this afternoon. For Cincinnati, where they will arrive at 7:30 to morrow morning.

Among them were a committee of Congress, of which Representative Butterworth is chairman, and Representatives Little and Outhwaite are members.

W. Corcoran and many local people of npte. Lack of Confidence iii the Boss Reformer. Washington 'pedal. Some people do not put much faith in the delayed indignation of the President at the violation of bis civil-service order of last July by certain officials in Indiana, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Connecticut and elsewhere. Itjs asserted by the more uncompromising reformers that the offending officers must be certainly decapitated as “awful examples.” but it is not expected by people generally here that this will ba done. It is commonly believed that the President is developing political tendencies, and that henceforth his zeal in civil-service reform matters will be considerably tempered. Thus few dismissals for “pernicious political activity” are expected by the general run of observers at cynical Washington. Lawler's Surprise. Washington Spoeial.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Another Issuo Entirely. To tbo Editor of tho Indianapolis Jonrnat: “S. J.", in a late number of the Journal, refers to a late paper of mine concerning the wisdom of the Abolitionists of thirty years ago in wholly abandoning their political organization, and in holding their extreme notions in abeyance, and in cheerfully and enthusiastically co-operating with a class of men who not only did not believe in abolition at all, but who took pains to say so, and to promise to let slavery alone in the States, and who proposed to merely assail its political phase. It seems to cue they were wise, and the result proves it. In that paper I modestly suggested that the Prohibitionists would be wise to do the same as regards the liquor traffic, and I am happy to know that at least nine-tenths of them believe the same way, and will act accordingly. I had no allusion to those who are intent on burying “the rotten carcass of the Republican party." I have no objection to anybody's engaging in that who desires to, * but, as a Prohibitionist of the most ultra type, 1 protest against its being done in the name ot prohibition. Let every tub stand on its own bottom. I want prohibition more than I want any and all other political measures, hence I am willing to help everybody that even squints in that direction. I very much dislike the attitude of the Republican party on the subject, but it is a step and a big step in the right direction; hence I hold my ideal position in abeyance and encourage them all I can. The logic of their position is as inevitably prohibition in tho very near future a3 was the abolition of slavery the logic of the very timid position taken by the Republicans in 1856. But I have seen several things lately that lead me to fear that some good men are more intent on injuring the Republican party than on securing good temperance legislation. I have no controversy with them, though I protest against their assuming to manage the prohibition question for me. That is another issue entirely. U. L. See. Mr. nuston and the Connersville Hosiery Mills To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal! The editorial columns of the Sentinel of this date contain an article which attempts to make a little cheap capital out of the fact that Mr. Huston is a stockholder in the Western hosiery mills, at this place, and charges that he pays more for the feed of his dog than is paid to the women employes of the institution. Now, “the God’s truth of the whole business is,” I have been in charge of the mills for thirteen years, and have dictated all the wages paid, and will make affidavit that during ail that time our wage list has been as remunerative to the employe as that of any other factory in the United States. Mr. Huston owns some of the stock, buthe has never had anything to do with the direct management of the mills. The employes are all well satisfied with the wages they received, and each one of them willingly joins me in the statement that in all his dealings Mr. Huston has ever been the substantial friend of the workingman. Tho soft charge that he pays $4 per week for tho board of his dog at one of our principal hotels is too silly and ridiculous to receive attention. Mr. Huston stands well with the wage-workers of Connersville. W. H. Caswell, Secretary Western Hosiery Mills. Connersville, lnd. t Oct. 11, 1886.
