yesterday to play the part of pertoemaker lie·

tumi 1'iHiiity Clerk Worth, of Kiiips, and

Senator Platt. He did this on the manifest

would bo impossible to elect n sirrrle KepuMi-i'aii, wlini'ver ho might he. His action fol¬

lowed the nuWic declaration by Cnnprossman

Fischer that he was with Worth in the local

ficht, and the know ledge that came to th.·

PUltt people Yesterday that Naval OfficerSha ¡key was likely also to stay with Worth

|a IBM fight next Tuesday night in the County

Committee.Mr. Klyr.n has n t tak< ? an active part in the

»trnsgle op to date, tut as he knows Senator

Platt «roll, he thought !t would do nr» harm to

try to harmonize thing*. He called the Sena¬

ltest·-.! ;o Mm that it was not yet too late to com¬

promise matttTS and place the party In Kings

County in a fair condition to win at the polls.Much to his surprise and chagrin. Senator Platt

replied in a hitter and sarcastic manner, de¬

flating that Worth must he crushed, and that

'\ would l.e done at any cost.

Mr. riynn told the Senator that he could not

know the true stare of affairs in Brooklyn, or

he would be Willing to patch up peace.

Senatov Platt replied that he did not want

r»eace. and that the only Issue al stake waa th»

«Mlteration of Worth.Mr. Flynn gave up the lirici session at the

:eiephone in dispust. and is now sorry that he

tried to be a peacemaker.Silas P. Datcher, Mr. Plait's trusted lleuten-

not tell any better than any one ols~ what the

ING TO RUN.Star plays continue at Republican county head·

juarters. The groundwork of .the scheme which

runs through all the theatrical inisiness In

which Messrs. Pia:t and Qnlgg are at present

"ngaged is the absolute purpose of the Repub¬lican leaders to tinminai« p. straight ltepunlleanticket at the Carnegie Hall Convention of Sep-tember 2S. regardless of the increasing senti-

lltent w-ithin th»- Republican organization itself

in favor of Mr. Low.The annoili.cement is now made that the peo¬

ple are to have not less than six different kinds

of tickets to choose from this year. The list

SjtT*?II out liy President Quigg is headed by the

Republican ticket, to be nominated by the reg¬

ular organization. The regular Democracy, oth¬

erwise the Tammany-McLaughlin-Muller ticket,

comes next, and this Is followed by the Citizens

Vnlon. or Low, ticket, as next in importance.Then come the Prohibitionists, the Scialist-

I.abor party and the out-and-out Bryan Sll-

verites. who carry the banners of the ProgressiveDemocratic League, the Uniteti Democracy, the

People's party, the People's League, the Young

Democracy and a whole lot of other sixt»·· n-to-

one organizations scattered through all the five

boroughs of Greater Nmv-York. If P. J. Ulea-

son's nomination in Long Island City is counted

the electors of the new metropolis will have the

names of not less than seven candidates for

Mayor when they are shut Into their pollingboo;hi on November 2.

If the tip that has been given out for the laalfew days by th" officials who make Mr. «.¿uigg'sheadquarters their political ht me 1s to be con-

s at p 1 truathworthy, Dlstrlct-Atorney W. M.K. Olr-ott has I.? selected to head the straightticket. Mr. Olcotl was yesterday represented as

having had a "final talk with Senator Platt"and to be ready to enter the ring. The District«Attorney's sacrificial offering of himself on the

altar of organization politics must of course endhis amhltlonn to iieome hla own successor for a

full term as theMaw officer of New-York County.Rut th« alleged split In th1 Democratic ranks

between the National and th· Bryanised forceshas been used to hold out to Mr. Oleott a prom¬ise of his election tlvs'fall as May r, so Hint thesudden termination nf hja natura! wish ·,? i.

lie tn-nltrht in ramshackle frame «hantle« «rat¬tered about this hilltop town. Forty maimed,wounded and broken figure« tos« on the narrow

oots of the HastetOtl hospital. Of these It is al¬

most a certainty that five will he added to thedeath list before another day dawns. Such was

the execution done yesterday afternoon by 108deputy-sheriff? nrtnel to the teeth, on aboutone hundred and fifty Ignorant foreigners, whosetotal armament consisted of two little penknives.These facts are undisputed.

All the dead and wounded ranged In ape from

eighteen to forty-live years, all foreigners.Hun¬garian«, Poles, Lithuanians and SIhvs, and near¬

ly all had or have near and d°ar ones here with

them.The situation to-night Is Intense, as the day-

was full of excitement and Incident. First and

foremost, .th« purpose these men had in view

.when their march came to Its tragic «nd was

consummated. The 1,000 workers at the Latl¬mer mines, to whom they were bound in an

effort to Induce theni to join the strikers' ranks,have laid down their picks and sworn to do no

more work until all the d» manda of the men at

nil the min«« In the district have been con-

reded.WARRANTS OT'T FOR THtf OTTICHXB.Xext In Importance »sas the Issuing of war¬

rants this afternoon fur the arrest of Sheriff

Martin and the one hundred and two deputies.These were issued at th« Instance of the United

Hungarian Societies. They were made out in

the nam» of Joseph Mehalte, president of the

St. George Society, of which nearly all the dead

miners were metnhers. Rohert P. Rlley, manager

of the Anhracite Detective Agency, took chargeOf the doeunu-nts, hut up to a late hour to¬

night they had not heen executed.Sheriff Martin, who spent last night at his

Wllkesbarre home under ¦ strong guard, came

to Hazleton this morning with the 0th Regimentof the Third Brigade. His presence in th» town

was not known until la e in th« day. Then it

was found that he was still under the guardian¬ship of the .soldiers and he could not i»e reached.This afternoon Constables Airey and Gallaghermade an effort to arrest A. F. Hess, who led

«me company of the deputies last night, hut

he had sought shelter within the military lines

kept !>y the 0th Regiment, and they refus« ?

to permit the constables to pass the guard.The warrants charge murder, assault and bat¬

tery and threatening to kill.A third event of DO less Importance was an

offer matle by Superintendent Lawall, of the

Lehlgh and Wllkesbairre roll· ries, to grant an

increase of IO per «ent over the Lehbjh basis to

the men uf the company, about two thousand In

number. A big meeting was held at licAdoo in

the afternoon to oonslder this offer, and after

much discussion ami speech-making St was de¬

cid "fi to accept the proposition, the men to re¬

sume work next Tuesday morning. Little con-

Bdence is placed in the decision, as it Is taken

for granted that as soon as the men return to

work pressure from those still out Will be

brought to bear to restore them to the strikers'ranks, and it is admitted that there will be no

resistance.AN APPEAL FROM THF STRIKERS.

This was only onn of the three mass-meetingsheld ??-day. Another at Harwood adopted reso¬

lutions expressing sympathy for "our mur¬

tended. It began at Hazle Park about ." o'clockthis afternoon, and adjourned to Donegal Hill,an open place at one end of the city, where

It is in progress to-night. The purpose of thismeeting was also to extend sympathy and todedde «m a course of action In conrequenee oflast night's catastrophe.TBOOP1 PRKVKNT Fl'RTHKR OUTBREAKS.Throughout the day the city has been given

a catastrophe for Spain.in official circles efforts are made to minimize

I the Importance of the insurgent success. It Isdeclared ihat the place had only a small garri-son, that Its fortifications were weak, nnd that.moreover, it Is situated at the eastern end of theIsland, "where the f'ubans are alone In suftViontstrength to drag or the campaign.'' The insur¬rection is considered ended in the other pror-Inces, where Captain-General Weyler, occupiedwith the work of pacification, was "awaitingthe end of ihe rainy season before pushing thecampaign in the remaining two unsettled east¬ern provinces."The Spanish authorities are convinced that

an expedition is about to start with the ob¬ject Of speedily effecting the recapture of Viitoria de Las Tunas.

SBJ men. 13a of whom were rendered unfit for dutyby illness. The town was first attacked on August11 with a brisk musketry fire, and on the 2'ith the

insurgents laid siege to th«· place. On the night ofthe 27th a heavy lire of mu«ketry was maintainedby the enemy, and the next day th. Ir artllVryopened fire, destroying the barrack*, the hospitalnnd a great part of the town. The insurgents took

possession of the ruins of the town on the 30th,aben the military commander, three ssneors an<iseventy-flve soldiers surrendered on condition that

they be allowed to retain their arms and horses

and be sent lo Holguln. The remainder of the

troops of the garrl-on who had previously laiddown their arms have, it Is believed, been sent to

Tuerto Principe, while It was sgreed that the sol¬diers who were disabled by reason of wounds or Ill¬ness· should be transferred to the nearest hospital.The heavier guns of the garrison were rendered

unfit for u.«e after fifty «bats had been tired fronthem, end their Mauser tilles and all the ammuni¬tion in the place wore made of no use to the in¬surgents before the surrender. The official reportssay that the insurgents admit the los.-·· of over a

hundred killed, whose bodies were cremated.According to the same authority, the prisoners

taken at Ihe time of the capture of the town, whohave been returned, say that ihe Insurgents, de¬

spite tnelr victory, are low-spirited, do not talkhopefully of the future, and are preoccupied bytheir great losses.Kear-Admlr.il Gomez Ymas, captain of the Port

ine affectionately with one good ally. King Hum¬bert. Is rushing inti the embrace of another,Francis Joseph. The gloomy old chateau ofMaria Theresa in Rudapcst has been repainted,swept and garnished for tne reception of theGerman Emperor on his first visit to that pie-turesqtie city. There will be brilliant fete» taisweek after the cavalry man.uvres are ended,and with pomp and pageantry the alliance be¬tween the empires will bo celebrated anew.The rejoicings in Paris and St. Petersburg

Those srreat States were formerlyisolated and are now strengthened by the DualAlliance, and signs are not lacking to Indicatethat the Triple Alliance la not so solid as If wa».for th» Emperor of Austria Is surpected of hav¬ing reached a private understanding with the(.'zar and Italy i.« secretly desiring a compactn' some kind with France for commercial andnther reasons. European peace based upon thebalance of power created by two essentiallyhostile alliances Is an artificial, diplomatic fan-¡asy.

England, meanwhile, with the distinction ofbeing the only great Power without any en¬tangling alliance, is grappling with the burdensof her worldwide empire. There has been nodecisive change on the Indian frontier. Thenorthern column is advancing steadily Into theSwat region, and the southern column Is slowlypreparing for a long, laborious march. Theseoperational while certain to be ultimately suc¬cessful, will be unusually costly, owing to thelarge force mobilized. The scient¡flc frontier,over whldi Reaconsflejd gloated, represents mill¬ions of treasure expended In campaigns, puni¬tive expeditions, and the work of pacifying theHill trihe.s Is never ended.The Nile operations are proceeding with a

degree of success which is embarrassing tnihe Government, who are bent upon havingconvenient pretexts for prolonging the occupa¬tion of Egypt. The evacuation of Rerber by theKhalifa's dervishes leaves the road to Khar·t·-urn open with friendly Arab tribes in readl-ess to lead the way. Sir Herbert Kitchener canhardly And an excuse for stopping midway anddelaying the advance until another year. Nor IbIt probable that there can be a long pause atKhartoum for reflection. AS Mr Ralfour pre¬dicted, the French are approachinsr the Whit«Nile from two directions, and the Abysslnlanaare threatening an advance from another quar¬ter; and it is probable that the Khalifa, who»«power Is evidently compietela shattered, will befulowed from Khartoum Into Kordofan. and thatthe sovereignty of Egypt over the equatorial em¬pire will be ultimately regained. Mr. Gladstone.If he lives a few years, seems destined to witnessa complete reversal of his Nile policy, but thepledges which he made for the evacuation ofEgypt still stand, and Lord Salisbury, con¬fronted by French and Russian demands fortheir redemption, Is forced to offer excuses forInaction.

The American Embassy Is now one of thequietest corners in stagnant London. Mr. HenryWhite remains on guard to receive calls from re¬turning tourists and official visits from more dis.tlnguíshed visitors, like Assistant SecretaryAdee.The circular of the State Department resp«»et-

ing Anarchists preparing to descend upon theshores of America has excite<L»little commenthere. It can be made effective so far as Englandis concerned. Scotland Yard keeps a vigilantwatch over Anarchists arriving from the Conti¬nent, although It does not harass them In artyway.
