All the reerve police In the city were massed at noon to-day at -the central police station In readiness for expected trouble on the lumber dock J between the union and nonunion lumber ahovers. Kach officer was provided with a club used In encounters with a mob and which were used so effectively In the May day riots two year ago. On the docks a big crowd of union and nonunion men were gathered awaiting the arrival of the first vessel of the lumber fleet. Klotln? began fhortly after noon. The men were armed with knives and revolvers and came together at Pack, Gray & Co.'s docks. Two men were seriously wounded, one perhaps fatally. Many have bruised faces and black eyes, A vessel was to be. unloaded at the tlock and 2 union men were on hand to do the work. They claimed the captain had given them the Job. While they were setting ready for the work, a large crowd of nonunion laborers put in appearance and their leaders. John Powltskl and August Swezo, claimed the work belonged to them. A. wrangle immediately followed and in a few minutes the men were throwing bricks and In various ways endeavoring to annihilate each other. Swezo. the nonunion leader, pulled a revolver, bu: before he had time to use it one of the other gang tabbed him in the neck. As he fell he was grabbed by the ?ollce and hustled toward the patrol wagon, "her were but three officers on the ground at the time, one of whom received a serious wound in the head. Henry Oedliham. ot No 357 Ceneral avenue, a nonunion man, was kicked Iruenxible and la terribly injured. About this time Captain Madigan with forty officers arrived on the scene. The police soon succeeded In scattering the crowd and both the. union and nonunion men were ordered away. Five men were placed under arrest. Including- the leaders of both sides. Three were nonunion men. About twenty men were cut and bruised, seven being coumed lying Insensible on the ground just as the fight terminated with the arrival of the police. Swezo's wound Is the most serious, but Is not dangerous. Apparently all the nonunion men were armed. Another effort will be mad to unload the vessel to-morrow morning. IXITED MIXE WORKERS.

FRAUD IN LOUISIANA

DEMOCRATS K.DEA VOIU TO COIST 1.V FOSTCR'FOR GOVEIIXOH. . Captain Fbarr, the Ilepnlllcan-Popn. list Candidate, to lie Deprived of HI Victory.

I .Hpeerli by Phnrr at Xew Orleaii He Ia Determined to Seenre Ills RluUU 'Shootlnir Affray, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. XEW OI3LKAXS. April 22. The Democrats claim that Foster has carried the S:ate for Governor by fr.rm 10.000 to 15.00O majority, but the Republicans and Populists allege fraud and say Captiln Pharr. their candidate, has been counted out. The Democrats admit their vote has fallen off considerably, but say there is no truth In their opponents' assertions. However, the returns are being delayed for ome purpose,' and U:e fusionlsts seem to have good grounds fcr their charges. Captain Pharr, the Itepub-lican-Popullst candidate for Governor, arrived here this evening and made a short aitdress from the J tern office gallery, on Camp street. When the "Old '.Stamper," as Captain Pharr Is familiarly called by his 'followers,, made his appearance he received quite an ovation-from hundreds of people who filled the street for several hundred fee; on cither side of the "building. Captain Pharr congratulated the people of New Orleans on their 'gallant and successful fight agalnM corrupt ring rule, which they had overthrown. Regarding the results of the State eleotlon. he said the returns now being received Indicated on their face that his opponent had carried the State, but hla associates knew that many of these returns were fraudulent, and that In many cases the votes had not been polled. However," he said, "if we find when the returns are all in that our opponents are elected, even by a single vote, we shall Insist that they be sea;ed. On the other hand. If we find that -the results, after an honest count, are in our favor, we will then confer toge:her and decide what course to pursue." This morning Item bulletin board contained the following: "Pharr has been e.ected Governor. The Item will prove this fact by the evidence of 270 Pinkerton detectives present yesterday at the polls where fraud was carried out.". It alo posted the fo.lowlnjr dispatch from Captain Pharr, who was In Uerwick this forenoon. "I have been e.ected Governor by the vores that were put in the ballot boxes and will be Inaugurated on the second Tuesday In May." The great Democratic loss from seventy thousand majority in 18f2 to a very small majority, even if they are not defeated In the State is Attributed largely to the organization of . the national Republican party by he sugar planters and the combination entered Into between all Republicans and the Populists. In 1892 the Democrats polle.1 about, twenty thousand more votes than their opponet? in this city, while at yesterday's election helr majority will not exceed two thousand for Governor. Congressman Buck, who was the regular Democratic candidate for Mayor, takes his defeat philosophically, and says that it was the strorur sentiment against the old city gan? that carried the day .for the Cltfzens League. Mr. Buck will return, to .Washington In a few days and resume his seat In Congress. A dispatch from La PIa!-e. St. John Baptist parish, says: "Adolpli Paron. Dem.j was killed this afternoon by Joe Bossier. Rep., on the oppslte side of the river. Thn report that negroes were killed here this morning- la untrue, Demas. Rep., has taken possession of two or three ballot boxes and sent them to St. John courthouse. It Is stated that Demas has a well-armed body of several hundred negroes, violence being feared. A call was made on the Governor for troops. A company of Ioulslana field artillery, under Captain Thompson, arrived here this , evening. Everything; is now quiet." It has now leaked out that Captain Pharr's campaign committee employed 250 Pinkerton men. who were scattered throughout the State, with a view of detecting election frauds. The Impression now is that a Rood many ballot-box stuffers will find themselves in trouble. The Democrats are much excited over the discovery that the detectives were employed. FOR MAJOR M'KIXLKY.

Three hundred distinguished-looking men met In Metzerott's Hall this afternoon for a conference to promote the propaganda for International arbltratioo which has been supported by many religious and secular organizations since the Venezuelan boundary dispute first Inspired talk of war with Great Britain and the United States. There were several prominent publicists and business men conspicuous in the proceedings, but the rank and file of the delegates who numbered some three hundred and came from most of the States and Territories were educators and clergymen. There also was a notable absence of governmwt officials, for, although Invitations had been extended to the President, his Cabinet, the Supreme Court, all members of both houses of Congress and many others of the political circle, and though the co-operation of many of these dignitaries had been counted upon, not one of them put in an appearance at the afternoon meeting. Some of the wellknown men seated among the delegates were Kdward Atkinson, of Tioston; President Angel, University of Michigan; Gen. Brooke, II. S. A.; Bishop Chatard. Indianapolis. President Eliot, of Harvard; exCommlesioner of Education D. B. Eaton, of Amherst: Gen. O. O. Howard. IT. S. A.: Dr. K. 11. Hale. Boston; Robert IT. Johnson. New York; ex-Mlnister to Austria John A. Kasson; Cyrus II. McCormick. Chicago; President Patten. Princeton, and Charles Dudley Warner. Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, of Washington, called the conference to order, and his Introduction of the temporary chairman, exSecretary of Slate John W. Foster as "the arbitrator between China and Japan" evoked applpause. After a few words of welcome on behalf of the local command ami the municipal authorities of Washington Mr. Foster said: "I cannot refrain from expressing my pride at tne record which our country has made in the past half century of unbroken peace with all the nations of the earth and of a steady adherence to the settlement of international differences by the pacific method of arbitration a record almost without parallel among the nations of the earth. You have not. therefore, assembled to recommend to our government anv new departure in its policy on this subject, but rather to strengthen and confirm it In the policy so long consistently followed. Compulsory arbitration between nations presents problems and difficulties not easy of solution, and it will be a great gain to the general cause if out of your deliberations a plan shall be evolved which will meeet the objections and solve the difficulties. It seems a Utopian idea to anticipate a general d'.s armament of nation In our generation : and until barbarism and the spirit of conquest and oppression shall be banished from the earth, governments wi'.l be forced to maintain armies and navies. But certainly among people who profess to be governed by the principles of a common Christianity, and especially between nations kindred in lineage, language and institutions, a better method Of adjusting the differences which must arise between them must b found than by the bloody arbitrament of war. The English speaking race is by far the most numerous of the great Caucasian family, and It Is intrusted by Providence with the Cilghest interests of civilization and Christianity In the world: and if this conferance rhall result in a permanent plan whereby their differences may be adjusted by arbitration, it will win for itself the fame of one of the memorable assemblies of all history." Next Judge Daly, for the committee on permanent organization, reported the selection of the following officers: President. Hon. George F. Edmunds; vice president for Indiana, Governor Claude Matthews. Speeches were then made by ex-Senator Edmund3 and others. FORECAST FOR TO-DAY. Warmer, Cloudy "Weather and Possibly Thunderstorms.

MANY AGAINST FEW

SITUATION rs mAtaiielelaxd Monfc SEIUOl ft FOR THK I1IUTISII. ; Thousands of Black Warriors Arm ear Balnvrnyo, and Onlr n Small Force to Defend the rince'' LONDON. April 22.-The officials of the British South Africa Chartered Company received to-day the following dispatch from Buluwayo, dated April 21: "The situation is most serious. There are 11.000 Matabeles within three miles and 1,150 friendly natives have arrived in town." A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Buluwayo says: "Both Buluwayo and Gwelo are absolutely safe. The Matabeles are not disposed to attack, but are content with cutting off small bands of whites. It 13 believed 'that '300 whites, prospectors or farmers, have been murdered. In seven fights nine whites and 1.000 Matabeles have been killed. Tho rebels are running short of ammunition." An Associated Press copyHght dispatch from Cape Town says: "Unless all the news which reaches this place from Buluwayo Is misleading an Important engagement between the British force defending that town and the Matabeles besieging it will shortly take place, or It may already have occurred. It la now known that the force of hostlla natives which assembled about Buluwayo after the outbreak of the rebellion was much greater than was at first supposed. The highest estimate placed the number of besieging force at 15,000. but although a large number of natives, said to number about 3,000 warriors, is known to have struck camp and etarted southward in the direction which the relief forces from Mafeklng must follow, it is estimated that fully 13.000 hostlies are still in the vicinity of the beleaguered town. The natives, when they first took positions about Buluwayo, formed a half circle northward, but gradually this formation has been contracted and the Matabele army is now only about three miles, or within easy striking distance, on a dark night especially. Tnere are only 3,000 white people in the town, of Whom about only 0 can be classed as fighting men. The southern portion of the haif circle is mountainous country, and the main pass is held by about 300 whites. It is through this pass that the relief force and supply trains must come. The men holding this pass have been divided into four bodies. The first, or auvauce guard, Is occupying a position at the entrance of the most difficult turnings. The main body occupies the strongest position in the pass itself, where a Maxim gun as been planted behind a well-constructed stone breastwork or fort, commanding the critical Jurn in the road. The third body, or rear 'guara. is holding the nothern end of the pass, wliich leads Jo the open ground and road to Buluwayo. The men holding the pass have provisions for about a month, but their supply of ammunition is limited, some of it already having been called in to replenish the diminishing store of the town. Both Buluwayo and Gwelo, which is also besieged, have been practically rendered impregnable for an outward, open attack. xiui, m ooin cases, especially m the case o Buluwavo. a lare-e numher tt snali friendly natives flocked Into the place under the plan of seeking the protection of the whites from the hostlies. These persons could not well be turned adrift or refused the shelter they requested. Consequently they were admitted within the lines and allowed to mix with the natives, who regularly inhabit the town. The number of these "friendlies" has Increased 'alarmingly and It is be'ieved that fully two thousand natives are now being fed from the common stores of Buluwayo. Thus, while it may be true that Buluwayo, thanks to ita dynamite mines, barbed wire defenses, strong laager ground, the market place and half dozen or so rapid fire guns. Is safe from any attempt to carry the place by storm, It Is not safe from being reduced fcy starvation and it might even be captured if the "friendlles" were suddenly to rise some night and create a diversion within the lines which would enable the native Impis to make a dash for the laager. This is the greatest danger now threatening the town of Buluwayo. The one bright spot-In. -the situation is the fact that in the engagements which have hitherto takeh place between the whites and the natives, the latter have almoM invariably been beaten and with severe loss. In fact, it is ald thai fully 1.200 Matabeles have already been killed, against which showing some two hunired whites have been killed. "The rinderpest, which is delaying the advance of the relief corps and. provision and ammunition trains, is also plaving havoc with the cattle of the natives. The trail of a large boly of natives, driving with them some five thousand cattle, was marked at about every hundred yards by the carcass of a beast. This disease may therefore have more effect than the rifles of the whites in enabling the latter to hold the South African Lucknow, as Buluwayo Is now termed, until relief reaches the little garrison." TIIK LATE IIAROX 1IIRSCH. Trnlts nnd Characteristics of the Fnmoun Hplirrw IMitlnntliroplmt. LONDON, April 22.-The newspapers here this morning are full of accounts-of the life and death of Baron De Hirsch, the distinguished Hebrew philanthropist, telling of the loss which his death will be to charities, the turf and espeelally to royalty, to members of which. It has long ben common gosJ sip, he had loaned large sums of money, mat ters wnicn are much discussed in the clubs, etc. V The Chronicle published memoir written by some one who uas evidently intimate with Baron De Hirsch and who Is believed to be his secretary. This writer says that the death of the Baron may make complications in at least one European court, if the executors are obdurate in collecting monev lent.; It appears that the Baron received some four hundred begging letters daily, many of tiiem from English people, who will shrink to see them published. The tragedy of Baron de Hirsch life was the death of his son. Almcfi ascetic himself, he regarded with contempt the habit3 of the comfortable classes and was bltterlv satirical in regard to the indulgences of the idle rich. Baron De Hirsch, It is asserted, never entered a synagogue after his marriage, but he was radically proud of being a Hebrew. The Dally News publishes a dispatch from Paris saying that the death of Baron De Hirsch Is a severe loss to the Orleans princes, especially to Prince Henry. He paid a gambling debt of f2S,0iX (140,000 for one Orleans prince. Baron De Hlrsch's friends, when gambling at his house, were not al ways expected to pay their losses, though he immediately settled his. An autopsy has been held upon the boly of Baron De Hirsch, which proved that his death was due to apop'exy. Rumors that the Baron had comxltted eulcide or that his death was due to other than natural causes, such as were circulated In the United States to-day by a news agency, were totally unfounded. The Vienna correspondent of the Standard says: "Baron Hlrsch's will Is probably In Paris. It is believed that it will leave a million to his brothers. According to his marriage Fettlement the survivor should Inherit one-half, but It Is understood that the Baraners agreed with her husband that a number cf foundations should be made in the name of both after the decease cf either, so that only about four millions will remain at her free disposal. The two boys were nor legally adopted, but they will be provided for. Comment on mal!ey Dispatch. LONDON, April 22. All the afternoon papers comment on the dispatch from Washington to the Times, which Its correspondent is said here to have been Instructed to publish, concluding with the remark: "This delay Is mot perilous. The Washington executive stl!l shows a strong desire for an honorable and reasonable agreement (on thr Venezuelan ouestlon), but It takes two to make a treaty." The St. James Gazette says: "The statement which Mr. George W. Smalley was instructed to publish shows that the Cn'ted States government still hopes we shall help It out of the difficulty by surrender. When it Is finally convinced of Its mistake what Will happen?" The Globe remarks: "If the Americana are wise they will understand th?.t the Marquis of Salisiury8 attitude means the steady determination of G-cat Britain not to allow interference in what she rUfhtly considers to her her own business." The PaM Mr.'.I Gazette says that it sees no reason for alsrm. On the other hfnd, the Westminster Gazette urges the Marquis of Salisbury to settle the Venezuelan question out of hanJ, even at tho cost of lowering bis pride. Dervish Array Demoralised. SUA KIM.

"Did Colonel Deitsch advise anything?" "No sir." 'What did Colonel Deitsch say?" "He asked about the murder of Pearl Bryan." Colonel Crawford at this point addressed the Judge, stating that the witness should not be allowed to testify what Scott Jackson said, "for there." said Colonel Crawford, "were the chief of police in full uniform and the Mayor of the city vested In full authority against this young man. They advised him to tell the truth It was a verbal command. Your Honor. I object to the witness tilling what the defendant said to Mayor Caldwell." Judge Helm held that there was no threat or improper conduct in this case, and he therefore overruled the objection and the prosecution took the witness again. WHAT JACKSON SAID. "State, Mr. Mayor, what Jackson said." "I asked htm. when he had seen Pearl Bryan last, and he said in Greencastle during the holidays. When asked where he was the Friday night he said he was at his room. He said he was also In his room Thursde.y night. Later the newspaper men came in and he repeated the story. He said Alcnzo Walling was his roommate. Later Jackson admitted that Pearl Bryan had called to see him at the dental college, and that he saw her at the Indiana House. Jackson said further that he saw Pearl Bryan Wednesday for the last time. Walling said that he (Walling) went down to meet Pearl Bryan." Mayor Caldwell then told the story of Jackson's confessions, which have peen printed and reprinted. His Honor, the 'Mayor, then told a story related to him by Walling, who told the Mayer that Jackson told him (WalMng) that he was In 'trouble with Pearl Bryan and was going to kill her. Walling asked him how, and Jackson said he was going to get her in a room and give her a quick poison and then cut her up. "This story," said the Mayor, "was told me by Walling In Jackson's presence. Jackson, when he had concluded, said: 'Walling, how can you talk that way? You are not telling the truth.' "Then." continued the Mayor, "they both accused each other of killing the girl." He then gave in detail the proceedings in Colonel Deitsch's oftice when Jackson and 1 Walling made the damaging admissions ot having thr bloody satchel and of throwing Pearl Bryan's clothing in the river.

GREENCASTLE, Ind., April 22. There has never been more excitement In Greencastle over the Bryan murder case than to-day, with the exception of the night when the first news became public that Pearl Bryan was the victim found at Fort Thomas and that Scott Jackson was suspected of the murder. This quiet college town has again been shaken to Its center by the incidents of the trial as the evidence is read, and the story of the brutal murder is again told by witnesses. It is thought here that there is a lot of hidden evidence that has never been talked of that will be sprung, and a belief Is also prevalent that there will be some rensational soda; developments. Especially Is -this expected in the testimony of Will Wood, the minister's son, who left here this morning for Newport. It Is a matter of much gratification here that the trial Is making such Tapid progress. The feeling of Greencastle people when the case was before the Cincinnati courts was that there was too much delay, and that plans were being made whereby justice culd be defeated: hence there Is much gratification over the prompt action of the Kentucky .court. People here who have read the later day murder cases, their delays, etc., feared that the Jackson trial would be a drag: therefore the securing of a Jury the first day was a great surprise. The Greencastle delegation left for Newport this morning. Of the number were Will Wood and Dr. Edward Post, the latter a relative of Jackson and a professor in DePauw University. - FAVOR A HALF HOLIDAY. Indlnnnpolls Presbytery .
