Shah of Persia Dumped in the Mud ly a Kailroad Accident Alleged Alliance Between France and Russia Mexican Floods. FIRST BLOOD SHED. Striker Killed by the Police Temper of the Men Very Hard to Control. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Sept. 4. The first blood shed in the great strike was spilled to-day when the police fired upon a crowd of strikers who were obstructing the loading of a ves sel and fatally wounded one man. The strike committee met early this after noon, and are still in session at a late hour to-night. They discussed some new pro posals advanced by the wharfingers, but the most serious business before the meet ing was the preparation of a manifesto. which it is expected will be issued in the morning, denouncing the action of the po lice in firing npon the strikers to-day. The committee is having con siderable difficulty in agreeing upon the wording of the manifesto, some of the most violent urging instructions to the strikers to arm themselves in defense of their lives. It is reported that Lures, the conservative leader of the strikers, is having great trouble to keep his committee in bounds, and that a proposition to arm the strikers out of the funds contributed by charitable citizens for food was defeated by only two votes. But violent as is the temper of the committee, it is a marvel of moderation when compared with that of the men. Tho news of the fight with the polico at the dock of the Peninsular &. Oriental company, and tho killing of one of the strikers in the fusillade, from one of the revolvers of the police, 6pread like wildfire, and caused the greatest excitement. Threats of vengeance are hoard on all sides, and it is doubtful if even the great influence of their leader, John Burns, will avail to prevent further violence. The coal trimmer who was shot is still alive, but the doctors say ho cannot last through the night. The men speak of tho shooting as "unprovoked murder," though eye-witnesses of the fight are positive in the statement that the police drew their revolvers only when the strikers, who outnumbered tnem ten to one. charged upon them with stones and clubs. Even after the first fire the men stood their ground, apparently uncertain whether to continue the attack or to turn and fiee. It was fortunate for the police that at this critical moment the men lacked a ieader, for they certainly were not wanting in courage, to face the deadly revolvers pointed toward them. With a leader to give tho word they would undoubtedly have made short work of the handful of policemen who opposed them. The shinners aro determiner! that after tb; i ituvin trotlbleuitj.' bciileu lEeywT no longer permit the dock companies to' carry on tho "sweating" svstcm, under which both they and tho laborers suffer. They will insist upon loading and discharging their own vessels, will hire the men to do the work, and will allow neither the dock companies nor their loremen to mako a profit out of the dock laborers. The strikers' committee is still in session at this hour (3 a. m.) They have just decided to allow the men now. out to resume work on any wharf where iix pence is paid for ordinary Tork, eight pence for overtime, and whre the "plus on piece work is equally divided between the journeymen and the foremen. These are the terms for which the striko was inaugurated, but, notwithstanding the fact that at several of the wharves the sinkers might have gone to work at these terms at any time during tho past ten days, the committee refused to allow any man to resume work until tho dock companies had been brought to terms. The consent now given is, therefore, accepted as a sign of weakening and an early collapse is again confidently predicted. LANDSLIDES IN MEXICO. Hundreds of Miners Hats Destroyed and Several Persons Buried in the Ruins. City of Mexico, Sept. 4. The following further particulars of tho destructive landslide at Incamacion, Hidalgo, have been received from that remote locality: For a week previous to Aug. 25 rain had been falling incessantly, and on Sunday night it culminated in a cloud-burst, which caused the streams to overllow their banks, and loosened the earth on -the mountain in the rear of the iron-works of Mr. Richard Henry. At midnight a large landslide occurred, bringing down with it the huts of the laborers who had built on its side, and covered many others and their inmates. The night was inky dark, and rain fell in torrents. In the morning.the laborers employed in tho works commenced to hunt for the unfortunate creatures caught in tho slide. They managed, to take out several alive, but a woman, her daughter and an infant were not found until several days after. At 9 o'clock tho same night another slide, fifty times as large as tho first, rushed down over the settlement, breaking down walls, filling doorways, covering gardens, crushing huts, and depositing immense rocks, which the men cannot move. This fresh slide caused great terror to the miners and workers in the mills, who sought safety in flight. When morning dawned the rain had ceased, but the magnitude of the devastation caused by the breaking away of the mountain side was strikingly apparent. Nearly all of the huts, hundreds in number, had been swept down into tho valley, and piled up one abovo the other and buried in the mnd and stones several feet deep. Houses at the base of the mountain were crushed, walls had been swept away and the devastation Was generally most complete. THE SHAH IN THE MUD. How Persia's Royal Despot Fared in the Russian Railway Accident. . Special to tli Indianapolis Journal. St. PETERsnunG. Sept. 4. Further details have been received here of the accident which befell the railway train on which the Shah of Persia was traveling through Russia homeward bound. It seems that a portion of an embankment over which the train was passing suddenly gave way, and seven carriages, including the one in which the Shah was seated, wero hurled from tho rails and precipitated to the foot of the embankment. The Shah displayed great presence of mind. Jnst before his carriage rolled over on its side he jumped from the window and fell into the deep mud, whence he was afterward dragged out by the trainmen. For a moment the Shah's danger was extreme. GENERAL FOREIGN NEVTS. The Mexican Government Imposes a Heavy Tariff on Lire Stock. City op Mexico, Sept 4.

Special to tli a Indianapolis Journal. London. Sept 4. The news from Zanzibar that the Sultan has given an important concession to the British East African Company has raised a howl among the newspapers of Germany, which complain that Bismarck is sacrificing the most important colonial interests of tJermsftiy on the altar of British friendship. One paper says Germany may as well quit Africa bag and baggage if this policy is to continue. Boulanffcr Not Eligible. Paris, Sept 4. Tho Temps says that M.

DEPUTY NAGLE'S INSTRUCTIONS. Marshal Franks Shows No Hesitation in Assuming Full Responsibility. San Francisco, Sept 4. In the habeas corpus case of Deputy Marshal Kagle, today, several witnesses testified to the dangerous nature of Judgo Terry and his wife. A letter from Attorney-general ' Miller to Marshal Franks, directing the latter to provide proper protection for Justice Fie'ld and Judge Sawyer, was also submitted in evidence. Marshal Franks testified that upon the arrival of Justice Field in San Francisco, Juno 17 last, he appointed David Kagle and two' other deputy marshals to protect Justico Fiold from assault He gave general instructions to those men to look out for Justice Field when tho latter left for Los Angeles about Aug. 7. He instructed Kagle to accompany him, watch the Terrya and prevent them from' doing Justice Field any violence. He called Ragle's attention to the fact that Terry was not an ordinary man, and if he met Field it would probably be difficult to control him. Ho told Nagfe that in his opinion Terry would assault Field, and if he did, Naele would have to act quickly. Witness taid that although Terry might only intend to insult Field when he saw him, he did not believe Terry could control his temper, and would probabljr immediately draw his knife. He warned Nagle to take no chances, but to protect Justice Fiold at all hazards. The caso was continued until to-morrow. Western Water-Way Convention. Cincinnati, Sept. 4.

Eatest Adriees from the Stmt of War Negroes the Only Ones Killed Thus Far. Greenwood, Miss., Sept 4. From present appearances it looks as though the sun of peace would supersede the cloud of war. The sheriff of this county returned from Mmter City, the 6eat of war, last evening, and reports everything quiet up there. Four of the negro leaders, ifamed Adoiph Horton, Scott Morris, 31. J. Dial and Jask Dial, wero killed. The military arrived at Minter City at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. Tho excitement among the negroes was augmented by the report that a peaceable

negro had been killed during the night for refusing to take up arms against the white people. Upon the arrival of the troops it waa learned that a party of about 1G0 negroes, well armed with Winchester rifles, were encamped near Cane lake, a distance of air or eight miles from Minter City. A reconnoitering party of citizens, numbering about fifty men, was organized, and proceeded to interview the belligerent blacks. After riding for some time through a dense forest of cane and vines, they arrived at the place designated as the camp of the negroes, but to their surprise no negroes were to be found. Search was at once instituted. Part of the men were detailed to go in different directions and make a thorough search of the entire surrounding country in order to discover their whereabouts. A party, while passing through the plantation of Mr. C. A. Townes, came upon Adoiph Ilorton and Jack Dial, and they were commanded to surrender. Without regarding the command they drew their pistols and started to run, when they were 6hotdown. The other leaders were killed this morning. Thomas, Allen and Cromwell, the moving spirits of the insurrection, have not been arrested, but the whites are determined to bring them to justice. George Allen is the one who killed a negro last Sunday night, on Mr. Townsend's plantation, for refusing to join his band, and it is behoved he is still in this county. Cromwell is an ex-convict, and one of the principal instigators of the riot His whereabouts at present are unknown, but there are about seventy-five or one hnndrcd men searching the woods for Allen and his accomplices, of whom there are about eight The best of feeling prevails between the whites and the better class of neerroes. and when this troublesome element has been brought to justice the machinery of affairs will move on as though nothing had happened. The first outrage committed by negroes since the beemmner of tho trouble in the upper part of this county was perpetrated by Georgo Allen and his squad of about seventy-five negroes, last night by the burning of Mr. Jauiieson's store at fehady Grove, on the Tallahatchie river. They went there and asked for powder and shot Jamieson refused to let them have any. and they told htm they would either burn his house or kill him. They caught him and set tire to his store, firing oil their guns in the meantime and making other nostile demonstrations. Jamieson cot away, and went to Sunnyside, informing the people of what had happened. About the same time a necrro deserter from Allen's band came up and ottered to pilot tho 'whites to Allen's camp at Lone Star Bend, if they would spare him and his two broth ers, who wero among Allen's men. About 200 men at once started for the hostile cam p, which is about six miles above Sunnyside. but it has not been learned whether they succeeded in capturing him yet It is not likely that he will be taken alive, cs he is a verv desnerato neirro. It now transpires that the negro whom he killed last Monday night for refusing to take arms against the -.yWf" wns his own brother. . h,, " i e&terday evening the mierirFa noase got sight of the two negroes, who had gone to Cleveland for ammunition. When .the negroes jumped from their mules and fled into the cane brake, the posse captured tho mules, and 2,000 Winchester rifle cart ridges, ten pounds of buckshot and five pounds of powder.

President Green, of the Western Union, Explains the Nature of the Recent Conference. New York, Sept 4.---The Postmaster-gen eral, Mr. Wanamaker, recently summoned to Washington various officials of the telegraph companies, in order to lay before them some details of and make proposals for a new postal telegraph service, which at . m he has had under consideration tor some time. Dr. Norvin Green, president of the Western Union, was one of these officials. and he has just retmrned from the confer ence. He gave, this afternoon, to a reporter some details of the proposed scheme. Dr. Green said that it was a matter belonging to tho Postofilce Department and not to the telegraph companies. He did not look upon the project in a very favorable light It would be a distinctly second-class-delivery service. There would not be an immediate delivery bv the nostothces. but stated times of ue livery, as is the case of letters now. Business ana commercial men, ne oeuovca, would not avail tnemseives oi sucn a service when they can have a first-class service, i. e., messages delivered by the company the very moment received. It would therefore be of little use to those who employ the telegraph service most It is. however, the extension of the tele graph service that forms the chief feature of Mr. Wanainaker's scheme. Dr. Green said. There are at present about fifty-nine thousand postofflccs in the country. About nineteen thousand have a telegraph service. Dr. Green said that of the nineteen thousand receiving offices which the com pany now has. about two-thirds were prof itless. Were there anything to be gained by extending the lines, the company would have undertaken it Dr. Green was very a ... .ft much inclined to doubt tho nnanciai suocess of extending: the lines to forty thou. sand little places in order to make the blessings of the telegraph service well nigh universal ior tne people.

A report received to-day from one of tho inspectors on tho new cruiser Charleston, built by the Union iron-works, San Francisco, 6tatcsthathorso power developed by the ship in her recent official run will probably not bo reported above 6,700 by the trial board in their official report She was run six hours instead of four, as stipulated in the contract Iter speed during the six hours averaged about eighteen and one-quarter knots.

This is taken to mean that the vessel is satisfactory and will be accepted by tie government Pending final action, however, the Secretary is considering a cl.'im made by the company to the effect that they were ready for the trial thirty-thrfe minutes before the board began to take the records of the engines, which wero daring that period at their best When the test actually began tho engines had began to fall oil, and beforo the end of the run had gone down nnito low. They argued that they were entitled to credit for the performance of tho ship for thirty-three minutes beforo tho records were taken, and that an equal amount of time be taken from the end of the four hours. In this case their indicated horsepower would be very near 1,100, which is tho requirement This claim is likely to be allowed, in which case the penalties from this causa will not amount to much.
