After the adjournment, the delegates were escorted to the White House by Secretary Blaine, pausing for a few minutes at the eastern entrance of the Stato Department to have their pictures taken in a group. The delegates were received by the President at 1:30 o'clock. Ono of the features of the event was an informal lnuch, nerved in the dinning-room at 2 o'clock. The Blue, lied and Green parlors and the Kast Koorn had been specially prepared for the occasion, and were liberally decorated with tropical plants and rare exotics. The Marine Band was stationed in the main vestibule, and played almost continuously during the reception and lunch. Tho programme included tho national and patriotic airs of each of the countries represented. The reception took place in tho Blue Parlor. The President and Mrs. Harrison and all the members of the Cabinet, except Mr. Blaine, proceeded to that room shortly before the hour set for the reception, and awaited the arrival of the delegates. They arrived promptly on time, under the escort of Secretary Blaine and Mr. Komerot the Mexican minister. Upon being ushered into the Bine Parlor they were individually presented by Mr. Blaine to the President and then to Mr3. Harrison, and subsequently to the members of the Cabinet. After a short time spent in social converse Mrs. Harrison retired, and the entire party, upon invitation of the President, repaired to the state dining-room and partook of lunch, which was served while the delegates stood about tho room.

" This toast was drunk standing. ISq other toasts were drunk or remarks made, and at 11 o'clock tho banquet was at an end. POLITICS IN MISSISSIPPI.

Xmocrats Cbanjje Their Tactic and Are Now Running a No-Nlgger" Campaign. Ececlal to the Im!lanaiolia J unreal. Washington, Oct. 2. Kepublicans arriving in Washington from Jackson, Miss., say the work of the recent Republican nominating convention in that State proves a very sorry disappointment to tho shotgun brigade, and the Bourbons of the State aro trying to make tho head of the ticket the issue, along with the race issue, and are avoiding tho real questions before tho country. It will bo remembered that the convention nominated Qen. J. IL Chalmers, of Fort Pillow notoriety, for the governorship, and, since tho convention was largely composed of colored men, the Bourbons are attempting to deride the nomination, as Chalmers was one of the leading confederate brigadiers during the late war, and, therefore, fought for slavery. The object of the Kepublicans in nominating Chalmers was to secure a ticket on which it would be impossible for the Bourbons to successfully, raise the race issue. The nominees are all white men. except N. II. Mellison, who is tho nominee for Secretary of State. Mellison is a man of education, culture and prosperity. The Democrats are thus confronted with white men who were in their ranks. Before the shotgun policy was inaugurated the Bourbonsinvariablynoininated one colored man at each of their State conventions, and' in the last campaign ran a colored man for Secretary of State. Notwithstanding this fact, the Democrats have issued a circular stating that it is simply a question whether white or colored men shall hold the offices and rule State affairs. The Bourbons nominated their State ticket about a month ago, and they have practically withdrawn their platform, and raised the race issue. The Kepublicans confidently 6tate they have a majority of the votes in the State, and intend to push their ticket with all possible vigor and attempt to elect it. although they have no hopes , whatever, that their ballots will becounted. The election takej place Nov. 12. General Chalmers has challenged Lowry, the Democratic candidate for Governor, and it comes here to-night that tne challenge will be declined on the ground that "a nigger is on the Republican ticket." Hon. B. K. Bruce, ex-United States Senator from Mississippi and ex-Register of the Treasury, has just returned from Mississippi, where he presided as both temporary and permanent chairman of the Ke- . pnbiicancoavention whichnominatedState officers. He said to the Journal correspondent to-night that he did not attend the convention for tho purpose of participating in it or attempting to control the nominations, or the work of tho party tin Mississippi, but with a view to assist in making the best ticket possible. After he arrived in the State he learned that he had been elected delegate to tho convention from four different counties, and that he had been agreed upon not only as temporary but permanent chairman of the convention, to which position he was unanimously called. He was urged to accept the chairmanship of the State central cominitte, but declined because he was not able to remain iathe State during the camFaign. M. ii. Matthews, son of the late "rint Matthews, was subsequently chosen chairman. IMJNOi: MATTERS. Increase In Postotuce Ilecelpts Accompanied by Slightly Greater Hxpenses. Washington, Oct. 2.

How German Heirs Were Beaten Out of a liS Estate at Ottawa. Ottawa, Oct 2.--John Funk declared in the Probate Court, on Feb. 15, 18S7, that he was the sole heir and legatee of Elizabeth B. F. Reddick, but it is now charged that he did ko with the intent and purpose of de frauding his half sister's children out of nearly $70,000. This allegation is the substance of a petition filed in the Circuit Court. Tho heirs-at-law of Margaret Mohr, of Dungenheine, Germany, through their attorneys, say that it was not until August of 1S87 that they learned that Elizabeth B. F. Reddick. heiress of the late Wm. Reddick and the half sister of their mother, had died. Then John Weisling, a farmer li vin gat Readin g, who was at that time traveling in Germany, informed them that she had died, leaving a large estate which was almost worthless. He offered them $500 in full settlement, but at length, in November, they accepted $1,500 as full settlement, supposing the estate to be small. In the meantime John Funk, having sworn that he was tho only heir-at-law, had an administrator appointed. By degrees he urged a final settlement until this was granted in November of the same year, lie then pocketed, it is alleged, deeds, stocks and notes to the amount of $35,000. The Mohrs living in Germany did not learn the true state of affairs, they say, until this year. Itinerant Quacks Heavily Fined. Fyeclal to the InUajiaxolis journal. Blooiiingtox, Oct, 2.

The Murder and Rapine Inflicted by Kurds on Christian Feasants. Missionary, In the Nineteenth Century. x I have already explained how the Ashirets are forced to pasture their flocks outside their country on account of the narrowness of their valleys. Last summer (1SS3) the sheep of Ashitha, the largest village in Tiari, were being fed in a zoma, or mountain pasture, in charge of the women and girls of the "village, to the number of about 00, and two men. On July 31 the encampment was suddenly surrounded by the Kurds. Tho men were slaughtered in cold blood; all the women and girls were violated; five, who made the most resistance, were killed, one pregnant woman under circumstances of atrocious cruelty, which I shrink from describing in tho pages of this Keview; another slowly put to death by repeated hanjar thrusts, and several more wounded. Tho unfortunate women were then stripped entirely naked and left in that state to make their way back to Ashitha. The object of this terrible ontrago was attained. The Sheikh from Amadia bad been preaching a general massacre of Christians, and the Kurds intended to arouse the Tiari that the) might have an excuse for slaughtering them." The Tiari, wild and uncivilized as they are. wero maddened by grief and indignation. Fathers, husbands and brothers seized their Hint-lock guns aud prepared to avenge the honor of the outraged women. Against them there then assembled a host of Kurds, to the number of at least 10,000 men, most of them armed with Martini and other modern ritles, sufficient not only to repel the feeble attack of the Tiari, but also to force the entrance to the valley. Up to Aug. 19 the Turks showed no signs of interfering, when Mr. Brown sent a messenger across the Persian frontier to Canon Maclean, tho head of the archbishop's mission at Urmi. with a letter concealed in his turban. The canon instantly telegraphed to II. B. M.'s consulgeneral, at Tabriz, and the Turkish authorities in the province of Van, hearing of tho publicity given to the a 11 air, at last took steps to disperse the Kurds and to prevent the impending massacre. Whilst these events were fassiog Dr. Cholmeley and I arrived at Trmi from England, and proceeded at once to Koch an es. where we found the Tiari chiefs, to the number of twenty, assembled at the Patriarch's residence to consider means for their defense. One of them was the husband of the woman who was slowly put to death on the zoma by dagger thrusts. It will hardly be believed that when the danger was at its height rnd the onslaught

"It is not improbable that the use of coal, gas, oil and steam .for heating purposes will in a great measure be done away with in the next few years." said l'rof. William J. Gleason, of Louisville, yesterday. "This, is a somewhat startling statement to make, . 1 admit, but its truth will shortly be demonstrated. What will be tho substitute! The source from which heat will be produced in the near future is friction. The science of mechanics teaches that this beat ' can bo stored and utilized. For many years, while this fact has been generally conceded, it has been regarded as of no value, but recently considerable attention has been devoted to experiments in giving it a practical application. Ono of tho , latest inventions dealing with this heat is called the "fusing desk." and it is now in use in many workshops. Another invention has mado it applicablo for heating railway cars and buildings. "The invention consists of two disks of heavy iron, 60 arranged as to 'rub' against each other when in motion, and a water circulating system bj' which the heat produced is conveyed to the car intended to bo heated. The fricXion' machine is simple. It consists of sin iron 6h:vftto which tho heavy iron Misks' are secured in such a manner as to permit their rubbing' in a -contrary direction. Theso disks aro inclosed in an air-tight drum or cylinder,' and so arranged that tho friction may bo regulated. Connected with tho air-tight iron drum or cylinder are a series of pipes, through which the water Hows and returns. "When all is in readiness tho cold water is turned on ana allowed to run into the cylinder uutil it is full, when the engine is started up and power applied to the shaft. The two iron disk. revolv raniiilv. and hut for tho water with which they are surrounded they would becomo red-hot. Tho . heated water expands and circulates through the pipes, heating nnd warming the room or car with which they connect. The amount of heat obtained, of course, depends upon tho degree of pressure brought to bear upon the disks and the rapidity with which they are revolved. There is no doubt that the water surrouuding the re volving disks acts as a lubricant, thereby t J A. .1 At. - J jveeujiiK uuwu in u urea ueirrco me luienso friction that could otherwise bo obtained. Much of the novelty of tho invention consists in tho uso of the water circulation. "Experiments aro now being perfected whereby tho nse of the water is supplanted by air. Tho dry air permits intense friction. A blower and a system of pipes and fans will be so arranged as to blow hot air, generated by the friction machine, into a room or car, much on the same plan as tho hot air is conducted nowadays from a furnace in the cellar. machines conducted on tho 'water circulation plan, and having a heating cylinder one foot in diameter and two feet long, can thoroughly heat 200 feet of water-pipe, or (sufficient heating fiurfaco to warm a room 80x40 feet. Comparatively little power is required. "This interesting invention is a practical success. Power in certain places is cheap. A waterfall, tho tides or wind-mills may be made available as a propelling power in some cases. Thus it will bo seen readily at what a small outlay a dwelline or factory can bo comfortably heated. This machine mar also be used with great advantage on railway cars, simply by taking the power from the axles of the moving car. It has the undoubted merit of freedom from danger by explosion or lire. "To illustrate the ereat detrrce of heat that may bo obtained from friction: Uy thorough experimenting it has; en found that a bar of steel could be easily cut in two if it was brought close to the edge of a rapidly revolving disk of thin metal, driven at a high rate of speed. In some of our great factories that is the method of cutting heavy iron bars. At tirst scientists were at a loss to account for the action of the metal disk, but tho invention has been greatly improved and U now known as the fusiug disk.' The word fusing rightly describes tho peculiar action developed by the machine. It actuallv 'fuses' the bar of iron. Tho revolviug disk is made of soft steel. It measures forty-two inches in diameter, and is threesixteenths of an inch thick at the edge. The wheel is mounted vertically on a strongly-built irameand is driven by steam power. It attainsas high a rate of speed as 000 revolutions a minute. "A latho chuck? for carrying the steel bar to bo cut is erected opposite the lathe. On this lathe the steel bar is placed, and reYoivcs oy luacmuery iu iuo same direction as the disk, and at the name rate of speed. The bar is then moved toward tho disk, aud in about five seconds is cut clear through. "The separation of tho bar was due to tho intense heat developed by friction. An examination of the bar proves that the cut portions aro wider than the disk. This demonstrates that tho disk did not touch tho bar anywhere. It is explained that the particles of air are swept around aud thrown against the bar, and the friction of tho air develops tho heat that 'fuses' the bar." -f Something Unknown In Chleago.
