NO. 242
ENGLAND AND FRANCE
Nothing Can Cause Trouble
Between Them.
AND GEORGIA GOES DEMOCRATIC
The .English Cabinet Met for Ninety
Minutes and Frightened Ninety
Million People.
The Cabinet Scars.
London, Oct. 4. English newspapers
have apparently recovered from the scare
caused by the hasty calling of the cabi
net council. The afternoon newspapers
are now unanimous in expressing the
opinion that theie' is not the slightest
cause for anxiety to fear a serious dia-
- pate with France. It seems to be ad
mitted that the cabinet council will not
: We called upon to decide anything more
than the protection of British interests
'in China. It seems generally agreed,
however, that, the cabinet council will
decide the question of whether British
troops will be sent immediately to treaty
ports of China.
The cabinet council met today. Most
of the ministers were present. Sir Wil
liam Harcourt, chancellor of the ex
chequer, was absent. At the hour of
sending this dispatch the council is still
in session.
2 p. m . The cabinet meeting lasted
from noon until 1 :30 p. m. It is under
stood a perfect agreement was reached
' respecting the plans submitted for the
British residents in China. .'. ' S' f
, It is announced upon authority, the
cabinet after'diacueslnsr the state of af
fairs in China, decided to send troops' to
that country to protect British interests.
It is also probable additional ships will
sent to etre ngthen the fleet in Chinese
waters, under command of Admiral Free
mantle. It is also said, in consequence
of the day's meeting of the cabinet, the
British legation at Peking will shortly
be guarded by British bluejackets and
native Indian soldiers.
Georgia Election Results.
Atlanta, Oct. 4. Enough reports
have been received by the Atlanta
Journal up to noon to indicate an aver
age democratic majority of 20,000 to
25,000. Atkinson, democratic nominee
for governor, has been scratched in all
parts of the state, and his majority will
not exceed 15,000. The , democrats will
have 30 majority in the senate and 15 in
the house. - Every congressional district
except Black's and Watson's went for
the democrats. A great surprise is the
defeat of Warner Hill, a prominent can
didate for speaker of the bouse. His
county went with the populists.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 4. Returns
from accessible points indicate Atkin's
, majority for governor at 30,000, . and the
j state ticket will probably receive about
: 10,000 - more. Probably. V 40 populist
members of the legislature have been
elected. The democratic majority last
year was 65,000. Speaker Crisp's dis
trict shows a falling off. Most of the
districts represented by free silver dele
gates have furnished populist gains. All
senatorial calculations . have been up
" set by the- increased -' representation ' of
.... populists in the legislature.
That Madagascar Blockade.
Port Lewis, Island of : Maritius, Oct.
4. The statement that a blockade of
Madagascar had been declared by France
rwaa brought .here , by steamer from
Madagascar. The report appears to
have been due to the misconstruction of
4 French measures to prevent the landing
of arms and amunition for the Hovas
The Madagascar papers state the French
settlers have been warned to repair- to
' the coast in view of possible hostilities

- aries, however, decline to leave the capi

Bkllktille, Kan.. Oct. 4- Gov
ernor McKinley passed through here
today on his way to Nebraska. Fully
3000 people assembled at Clay Center to
see him. "We are engaged this year,'
said the governor, ."in a contention
. among ourselves whether we retain the
American ; markets and work shops,
The republican party believes in retain
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
l V- ff U t .f-r-rrvP? ho-
ing both." ' Three cheers for McKtnley,
the next president of the United States,
were given at Clifton. Some one asked
how about silver, to, which McKinley
replied : "You must ask the democrats.
They are in full control of the govern
ment and have absolute power to do
whatever they please."
The French Cabinet.
IpABisOct. 4.--The French cabinet
today decided to ' prosecute' Le Parti

vers, regarded as insulting to the French
army.

decree appointing Baron de Courcel
French ambassador to London, to suc
ceed M. deCrais, recalled. -
The Journal des Debats says that
there is no question between Great Brit
tain and France which cannot be settled
amicably. ;
La Soliel declares that Madagascar
cannot lead to a conflict between France
and Great Britain.. -
Le Martin says it is absurd to suppose
that the dispute in regard to African af
fairs with France was the reason for
summoning the English cabinet council.
British Troops for China. -
London, Oct. 4. The Exchange Tele
graph Company says 6,000 troops will be
sent from India to protect the treaty
ports of China. The First Rifle brigade
will leave Calcutta, Oct. 16, for Hong
Kong. Other troops are expected to be
dispatched, including the Northumber
land fusiliers, : two battalions of Ghoor
kas and four regiments', of . Sinks and

Judge Lfmu Trumbull a Populist.
Chicago, Oct. 4. It is announced
today that Judge Lyman Trumbull is in
sympathy with the populist party, and
will deliver an address at a mass meet
ing in Central music hall Saturday
night on "The rights of man as Affected
by the accumulation of Wealth and
Favored monopoly." Judge Trumbull
has long been regarded as a staunch
democrat.

Washington, Oct. 4. Civil Ser
vice Commissioner Lyman ' said today
nothing had yet been received concern'
ing the political assessment circular

jority, a falling off of 1200 in two years

tung says the Chinese minister to Lon
don has proposed to the British govern'
ment that Hussia, Great Britain and

. London, , Oct. 4. A dispatch from
Shanghai says native vessels from Nang
Poo report five Japanese warships lying
off the Christian islands, 50 miles from
Aang roo. xne presence oi ships near
Nang Poo has caused a scare. . The few
Chinese warships on the coast are obso
lete and almost worthless.
Not Time to Interfere.
Brussels, Oct. 4; The Independence
Beige says: "The "time has not yet
come for England to interfere in Chinese
affairs. England's differences with
France are grave, but' if negotiations be
prudently conducted a settlement should
not be difficult."
