Africa.
Ily 8 o'clock this morning the Itrit
Ish subjects, umbering about 100 poo
pie, and a number of other foreigners
embarked on tlio warships the Ital
ians going to tho Italian gunboat Vol
turno.
Fir.ixo nr.ni.v just ov timi:.
Shortly before l) o'clock a naval of
ficer was sent to tlio palace square
with another message for Sayid Klin
lld, asking hhr. If he was prepared to
surrender In accordance with tho
terms of the ultimatum, and again
notifying him that the palace In which
ho hud ban leaded himself would bo
shelled nl 0 o'clock promptly if he
fulled to haul down Ills (lag before
that time.
Say Id replied that ho would illo
Rooner than Mirrcudcr. His answer
was conveyed to Admiral Itnwson and
tho llrltlsii consul gcner.il, ami the
crews of the ships, whleh hud been
prepared for action the day before,
were sent to quarters.
All) o'clock the llngshlp signalled
the Uaccoou, Thrush and .Sparrow to
begin tiring and a moment later the
vessels opened lire with their heaviest
guns. Ten minutes later they had
torn gical gnpen in the palace, scatter
lng death und confusion among its de
fenders, dismounting some of the guns
ashore and putting to (light the gun
ners handling thu pieces The lire of
tho wurshlp'. was admirably directed
and siuoko was soon t.een lo bo issuing
from several parts of tho pnlaee. Dur
ing this time the St. (Joorgo ami tho
I'hilomon were held in icsorve,
although they occasionally plumped a
shell into tho enemies camp, adding
to the dismay of its defenders.
K the i'ai.aci; Pno.v i.v i:pin..
Tho Kaccoon, Thrush and Sparrow
kept up tho bombardment until '.:M
o'clock, when the palace was tumbling
in ruins and large rents had been
made in tlio barrleadu of Sayid's fol
lowers. Tho latter, however, an
swered tho lire of tho warships with
great gallantry and did not stop llrlng
until, in response to tlio llagship's sig
nal of "Cease tiring," the guns of tlio
warships stopped showering shot ami
shell ashore. The losses of the eueiuy
arc not known, bt.t it is certain that
several hundred were killed or
wounded, especially among tlio de
fenders of the palace proper.
During the bombardment, tho sul
tan's armed steamer Glusgow opened
flro on tliu Hritlsh warships, tint
few well aimed shells from the heavy
guns of tho Kaccoon and n shot or
two from the four-Inch guns of tho
Sparrow crushed through nnd through
her, silencing her fire in short order
nnd ultimately sluicing her at her
moorings.

Soon after the palace caught lire and
the walla ami roof wero sent flying by
the shell of tho warships. Ssyld
Khalld and Said Sayles.eomtiiandsr ot
the usurping sultun's army, escaped
with a number ot their leading fol
lowers through tho back part of the
palace to the German consulate, where
they asked for protection, which was
accorded lo them.
Shortly ufter 10 o'clock, in response
to slgnnls from tho flagship St. lleorge,
reinforcements of marines nnd suitors
were sent ashore from the llrltlsh
hlps, nnd tho work of capturing tho
insurgents, collecting the dead and
attending to the wounded was com
menced. When tho Insurgents had been com
pelled to lay down their arms and
wero securely corralled by the ma
rines and blue jackets thu latter
were ordered to try to distinguish the
flames In the palace und in the old
custom house, which had also been
shelled and net on tire, as the Insur
gents had fortified und hnd to be
driven from the building. Hut at noon,
in spite of the efforts of the sailors to
'extinguish the flames, the palace was
u mass of blazing ruins, the old cus
tom house was in ashes and a number
of other buildings, demolished or set
ou lire by exploding shells, were m
ruins.
No casualties aro reported among
tho llrltlsh ashore and, though all
business naturally Is at n Mandstill,
order was completely restored before
nightfall ainT tho foreign residents
wero ublo to return to their residences
n.horo.
For tho present the Island will be
administered by Admiral Hawson,
pending the receipt of further in
structions from tho llritish govern
ment. It Is now genornlly believed that
tho late sultan was poisoned at tho
lnatlgtaion of Snvid Khalld.

M'KINLEY'S ACCEPTANCE.
Sri I'ortli III Slew on tlin I-sur of tlm
niiiitlrn.
Canton, Ohio, Aug. 28. Major Mc
Klnley's lettor of acceptance was Is
Mtod yesterday. It Is duvoted prlncl
nallv to tho discussion of what Im
considers tho great questions of tho
campaign protection, honest money
nnd reciprocity. About one-third of
the message Is devoted to a considera
tion of thu free silver question, lie
announces that ho Is unalterably op
posed to any such policy. Ho attempts
to show Hint tho Republican position
in tho pending campaign is no "now
departure," but that its proposition to
maintain gold and silver coin at a
parity has been the unbroken policy
of the Republican party since lS7d Ho
says tho farmers and laborers would
suffer most by thu adoption of frco
coinage.
Thu silver question, In his judg
ment, is not, thu only Ismio affecting
our money in thu 'pending contest.
Ho considers the declaration of tho
Democratic and People's parties for
unlimited, irredeemable paper money,
ns thu most serious menace to our
financial standing and credit that
could bo conceived, und appeals to
rutrlntio citizens to promptly meet
and defeat it. Ho condemns as "in
the highest degree reprehensible" alt
ellorts to array class against calss,
"tho classes against tho masses sec
tion against section, labor against
capital, tho poor against the rich,"
tir interest tigalnst interest. II con
siders protection as an issuo of su
preme importance, and observes that
whllo "the peril of free silver is n
menace to bo feared, wo aro already
experiencing the effect of partial frco
trade." The ono hu would avert, tho
other correct.
He recommends tho Immediate re
storation by Congress of the reciproc
ity sections of tho tariff law of I HuO,
with such amendments, if any, as
time and experience sanction as wiso
and proper. Tno underlying princi
ple of this legislation, "ho declares,
should be strictly observe.!. This, ho
explains, Is to "afford now markets
forover surplus agricultural ami man
ufactured products without loss to
the American laborer of a single day's
work that he might otherwisu procure.
Hu discusses foreign immigration
briefly but forcibly. Ho commends
legislation that will prevent thu com
ing hero of all who "mnko war
uponour institutions," or profit
by public disqulut and turmoil. Ho
favors liberal pensions for the soldiers
und sailors.

OVATION FOR MR. BRYAN!

lIorrAi.o, W. Y., Aug. 3D. Appar
ently tho entire population of lluffiilo.
the home of (lover Cleveland, turned
its footsteps last night towards Music
hull, where Candidate Ilrvan addressed
4,000 people, as many ns could be
packed within tho four walls, whllo
unnumbered thousands tilled the
neighboring streets. Tho day in lluf
fiilo had been tho greatest ovation
Mr. llryan has received in "the ene
my's country, 'and tho night meeting
which ended it attracted almost, If
not quite, as many would-be auditors
us the notification lu Madison Squaro
garden,
A reception was held for two hours
in tho hotel parlors in tho afternoon,
when Mr. und Mrs. llryan shook hands
with n constant line ot callers, which
still stretched along half a block out
side thu building when the doors were
closed upon the lust comers.
Mr. llryan was escorted to the hull
by tho "Cleveland Democracy," the
city's oldest party organization, nnd
by ward clubs hearing torches. Tho
line of mnrcli was along half a mile of
Main street, crowded almost as thick
ly ns was tho hull, und red lire and
cannon announced his coming. When
.Mr. Iiryun appeared upon tho stage,
escorted by State Committeeman John
C. Sheehan, tho policu were powerless
to control the audience, und swarm
ing down to the front, several hun
dred men took possession of the seals
reserved for the clubs which escorted
Mr. llryan,
Mr. llryan said, among other things:
"We propose n financial policy. Our
opponents proposo nothing. Without
during to defend the gold standard,
without daring to set a time when
you shall escape It, they preach tho
doctrine of 'grin and bear it,' and
offer no hope to tho human ruce. Wo
ask for the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 10 to I. Wo have had It
in thu past, and wu ask that thu
American peoplu shall do their own
legislating for themselves without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation, mid wo have had it In
tho past. Wo believe that tho frco
and unlimited coinage of silver lit 10
to t will maintain tlio parity between
gold and silver.
"And right here let me call atten
tion to something which I havo
learned since I came Into your city.
I um told that some of your mer
chants, in order to give tin object les
son to the people, have been offering
to furnish Mexieuti dollars for oil
cents as part of the change when you
buy goods. Mv friends, let me give
von an opportunity to test tho sincer
ity of these people. Let me give you
a suggestion. They tell you that If
we had the freu coinage of silver that
the American dollar would be as little
us tho Mexican dollar Is now. They
tell you that if wu bad thu freo coin
age of silver, silver will not rise in
value. Let tne give you n suggestion
by which you can test them. When
ever u uiiifi offers you a Mexican dol
lar for f.o cents, you take it. and then
take It to your savings bank nml ask
them If they will tttko it on deposit
for .10 cents and give you a written
iigroi'inont to give you tt Mexican dol
lar the next dav after the inaugura
tion ot tho next president.
"Our opponents havo said that the

us believe thut theso financiers who

are Insisting upon it for fear the sold

that these soldiers know that tho

A MOTHER'S AWFUL DEED V

Kansas Citv, Mo., Aug., 'JO A tcr
rlble tragedy was discovered this
morning at tho homo of Chnrles W.
Green, traveling passenger agent of
tho Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago nml
SU Louis railway, 1 o "Ilig "l-'our'
line, in this city, 010 West Thirty
fourth street.
It was the murder of thrco children
by their mother and her suicide. Theso
are thu dend:
Mrs. Charles W. Green.
Willie Green, 13 years old.
Charles W. Green, jr., tl years old.
Mary Green, G years old.
Mr. Green has been in ill health for
some mouths and has been in the West
in search of health. He left home a
week ago Inst Monday with Mr. Lynch,
nssistant general passenger agetit of
the lllg Pour.
The homo Is a two-story brick
facing tho north on tho corner
ot Penu street and almost within
tho shadow of thu college of tho
ltedemptorist fathers. Last Tuesday
evening neighbors saw Mrs, Green on
tlio porch and the children at their
play lu the yard. That was the last
seen of them alive. Since Wednesday
morning the quiet of the house anil
the entire absence of tho family have
been a mystery.
This morning Andres Anderson, a
neighbor, climbed In one of the whi
tlows. The sight caused him to reel
and almost fall from thu ladder. On
a bed the foot of which was not three
feet from tho window, lay two dead
children eoveied with black and
coagulated blood.
Lying diagonally across the narrow
hall was the body of Mrs. Green, clad
in a night dress, which was open at
the throat, disclosing her white throat
and gauze undervest. In plain sight,
just inside the door, lav the body of
her younger t-on, Charles, with a
wound in his right forehead.
All four had been killed in the samo
manner, n ball lu the brain through
the right temple.
It Is dltllciilt to fix positively tho
motive for tho tragedy. It Is most
likely that Mrs. Green had bccoino
temporarily insane. Shu was of a
highly uervou; temperament and sho
had worried gtcatly over her hus
band's ill health

by members of the state organization,
1 urn well satisfied that tho statu con

gates may opposo parts of the plat
form, but it Is thu national platform
and will bo accepted as a whole."
