CRAZY SULTAN.
Special dispatch to The Be * .
CONSTANTINOPLE , October 19 1 a ,
m. The whole city was yesterday
thrown in agitation by the arrest of
Beherm Agpapa , an attendant of the
sultan , on the charge of .M tempting to
set fire to the imperial palace. There
ia no doubt about the arrest , although
many say that it is impossible that he
can be guilty of such an act. It is
rumored that the arrest resulted from
false accusation made against him
by parties instigated by Said Pasha ,
the prime minister , who Is alleged to
be jealous of the accused man's in
fluence. At all events , the occurence
is cited here as another bit of evidence ,
if any were needed , of the state of
suspicion and alarm which prevails in
the palacp of the ml tan and throughout -
out all branches of the government.
The habitual condition of the sultan's
mind is that of excitement. He can
scarcely endure the mention of the
situation of Turkey under the persist
ent demand of the powers , and has
forbidden the name of England to be
mentioned in bis presence. Whether
this action was taken in a mere fit of
spleen , or Is one ot the symptoms o <
the aberration of mind , which his
conduct of late has exhibited , it is
likely to have grave and unpleasant
results. If he follows his resolution ,
the sultan must refuse to see the Brit
ish ambassador , which may sever the
diplomatic relations between the
porte and England , and the consequent
quent more vigorous pressing of the
treaty claims against Turkey by force.
The f ultan further declares that the
powers are attempting to trifla ith
and defraud him of his pnsieasions ;
thit reform means the dismember
ment of the empire , and the object of
combined Europe is to accomplish
that end. The conviction is growing
in political and official circles that the
Dowers will soon have no alternative
but to abandon negotiations or depose
the sultan.

ST. Louis , October 19 1 a. m.
A Santa Fe special says that five men
from Omnibus , near Georgetown , are
out after some thieves who had stolen
Mr. Hicks' cattle. After traveling a
number of miles they overtook a col
ored man named Keyes , who was one
of the party in charge of the cattle ,
captured him and placed him under
guard of Messrs. Stinson and Holt.
The other men rode on to where the
cattle were being driven by throe
Mexicans. Coming up to this parly ,
Coomer asked the men if the cattle
belonged to them , to which they an
swered in the negative. Coomer then
asked the Mexicans to dismount ,
which ihny did. One of them , named
Camilo Rivera , however , as soon as he
had alighted , raised his gun and fired
at Coomer from behind his horse.
The latter then drew his pistol and
fired at Rivera , being only a few feet
from him. The ball took effect , but
the man wheeled suddenly around at.d
escaped down a precipice. As soon
M tha first Boot was firei the oiher
two Mexicans fired at Moulton and
McLeod , who returned the compli
ment and riddled them with bullets.
The cattle were then driven back to
Georgetown , whither Keyes was als
taken The latter wai locked up fi
the night , and daring the darkness a
party of about twenty men went to
the jail and broke into Keyes' cell
Thinking they intended to lynch him
he attempted to escape , but wsj eho
3own while tr > ing to break throa , 'j the
crowd at the door. He died before
mornbg. Two of the wounded Mex
ic&UB who escaped were found dead
Loss of the "Alpena. "
{ pedal Dispatch to The Bee.
CHICAGO , October 19 10 p. m.
There appears to be little doubt this
evening that the fine side-wheel sleam
er "Alpena" was lost in Saturday's
gale on Lake Michigan , and that the
sixty or seventy souls on board all
perished. She WAS owned by the
Goodrich line , of this city , and up tea
a late hour this afternoon nothing had
been rocelved"by { he company con *
firming the loss , except a brief dia
patch from Montague , Mich. , that
the deck of the "Alpena" had been
picked up near Muikagon , Mich.
These disnitches caused grave fears
to enter Mr. Goodrich's mind. He
telegraphed to every pouible point
whore inf rmation could ba hud , and
sent his superintendent with men to
make a search of the eaat shore. An
other dispatch received by Capt.Good
rich said that the propeller "Buffalo"
taw the "Alpena" at anchor at the
Mauitous , and this gave him a ray of
lope Capt. Webber , of the schooner
"Irish , " says that ho sighted the
"Alpana" about 9 o'clock Saturday
'otenoon. The "Irsh" was out from
Irand Haven as well as the "Alpena. "
7apt. Webber says at the time he saw
he "Alpena" a mm could not stand
on deck for a moment. Ho left h r
about 11 o'clock , some ten miles off
leu > sha , heading for the shore , but
ho afterward laid her course for
Chicago. The "Alpena" left Grand
laven Saturday night at 9 o'clock for
Chicago. From the fact that she
started in the night. Captain Good
rich thinks there were not many pas-
engera , but from other sources it is
earned that there were about forty ,
and a crew of about thirty. Only the
lames of a few of the passengers are
mown , and they are telegraphed from
Jrand Haven as follows : W. S. Ben-
ism and wife , Mrs. B. F. Curtir ,
leben Y. Squire , J. A. Grossman , of
Jrand Haven , and Misses A. L. and
ate Bradley , of Santa Fe ; Espath
Csrther , G. Hottenger , of Grand
lipids , and John Oaborno and fam-
ly , consisting of wife and three chil-
Iron. The aged parents of Mr. Oa-
borneare in this city and express
jreat anxiety concerning the safety of
heir loved ones. The only complete
ist of passengers was on board the
teamer. Her officers were as follows :
Captain , Nelson W. Napier ; first of-
: cer , J. H. Kelly ; first , engineer ,
lobt. Polten ; clerk , Arthur E
laynes ; steward , Wm. Shepperd.
Captain Napier has been sailing on
he lakes for over fifty years-and was
egarded as a most gallant and careful
fr tr : . fu : ft.w- , : . c * ,
oseph , Michigan. When ho was
lere last Tuesday he told a friend that
10 had not seen Ms family since last
March , but expected to bo with them
his week. His son has bein for years
pilot on the river in command of the
g " 0. B Green. " He , like his
ther.saves a great many liv a , and Is
enowned for his bravery. The steam-
ir "Alpena" was built for Captain
Ward , at Marine City , in 185 : , and
Capt. Goodrich bought her for 880-
000 to replace the ill fated steamer ,
"Sea Bird , " which burned off Wau-
keg-n some years ago She registered
654 tons burden , and was rated sec
ond-class for speed. Her length was
175 feet , width of beam 25 feet , and
12 foot hold. She had been over
hauled last winter , and was considered
as good as new. She had rode through
some of the worst storms on the lakes.
In Chicago she was boit known as a
reliable and pleasant excursion boat ;
for Milweukea and points on the
Michigan shore. It is mentioned as
a remarkable coincidence , that the
body of Grimwood , the lost btloonist ,
was fonnd on the 17th of Au u-t ,
1875 , t Clay Banks , Mich , by a mail
carrier , probably the same one who
reports the hull of ihe "Alpera" float *
; ng In thb water near that place.
Clay Bankes is a poitoffico in Ocoon
county , Mich. , about fourteen miles
north of Montague , and forty fiom
Grand Haven. The current of the
lake sets In strongly from the south *
east toward the shore , and much
debris it cast upon the beach at that
point. I

? he following was given to t : e press
as- evening :
DAQQEE'S SPRINGS , September 17.
'o ' Uon. John Shermin , Secretary ol the United
State ] Treasury :
SIR Some days ago I saw a report
> f your speech at the conference held
ly republicans at the Fifth Avenue
lotel , New York , and you were quot-
d as having used the following l ng-
nage : "And now you ara asked to
urrender all you hava done into the
lands of Wade Hampton , the kuklux
md the little segment in the north
.hat is called the democracy. " May
ask if you used these words , and if
'oa. did so , did you mean to connect
me directly or indirectly with what
ras described aa the ku klux klan ?
lequesting an early reply , addressed
o me , care of Augustus Schell , Esq. ,
few York ,
I am , very respectfully yours ,
( Signed ) WAOE HAMPTON.
WASHINGTON , September 21.
lion. Wade Hampton , drrof August Schell ,
Nitt-York :
SIR Your note of the 17th instant
s received , in which you inquire
the Fifth Avenue hotel , I used the
language attributed to me. In reply I
have to advise that , while I do not re
member the precise language , I pre
sume the reporter properly stated , in
a condensed way , his idea of what I
said. I no doubt spoke of you as a
leading representative of the demo
cratic party in the south , and referred
to the ku klux klau as a representa
tive of the barbarous agencies by
which the democrats have subverted
the political rights of the republicans
of the south , I did not connect you
personally with the ku klux wing.
Indeed , I know you had , in one or
two important instances , resisted and
defeated its worst impulse ? , and I ap
preciate the sense of honor
which makes you shrink from
being named in connection with it.
Still , you and your associates of lead
ing men in the south now enjoy the
benefits of political power derived
from the atrocities of the K K K.
in which phrase I include every
murderous uli.ms by which it
has been known iu the south.
Your-power iu tbo southern states
rests upon actual crimes of every
grade in tbo code of crimes from
murder to the ine.uiest form of ballot-
box stuffing committed by theku klux
klan and its kindred , and as you
know , some of them wore committed
since 1877 , when you and they gave
the most solemn assurances of pro
tection to the freedmen of the south.
These crimes all aimed at the civil
and political rights nf republicans in
tha south , aid I believe bu for these
agencies , t no very state you represent ,
as well as many ethers in the south ,
would be represented by thorn in the
seats in the house of representative * .
But for these crime ? , the boiat attrib
uted to you that the thirteen solid
votes would bo cist for the democratic
ticket , would bo idle vaporing , but
now we feel that it is a sobar truth.
While I have no reason to believe th it
you , or your worthy aisociates , per-
sontlly participate in the offences I
have named , yet while you and they
enjoy the fruits of these crime ? , you
may in logic and morals bo classed as
I classed you as joint co
partners with the ku klux klan
in a policy which thus far has been
successful in sizing the political pow
ers in the south , and which it is
hoped , by the aid of the small regi
ment of the democratic part' in the
north , may be extended in the sense
that I sp ike of. Permit me , in con
clusion , while frankly answering your
question , to say that the most fatal
policy for the south would ba the em
ployment of such agencies as I have
mentioned to secure again the politi
cal ascendency in this couutry. I
assure you that the manhood and In
dependence of the north will con
tinue the struggle until every repnt-
lican in the south shall have free and
unrestrained enjoyment of equal civil
and political privileges , including a
fair vote and fair count.
Very respec1 fully ,

The Railway Fight Spreading.
Special Dispatch to The Bee.
ST. Loois , October 19 1 a. m ,
The railroad war not only still goes
on but Is extending. Yesterday the
0. & A. cut the rates to Council Bluffs
! to $ fi.60 and Otna'-i * $7.00 , via the
Kirisas City & SU. Joe , road , and yes
terday the Wabash dropped to the
same figures. The prices to Chicago
and Kansas City continuant one dollar
lar , and rou id trig tickets to Chicago
at $3,40. The Missouri Pacific , while
not actually in the1 hght , meets all
the cut rates to western points. The
speculation in unlimited tickets has
about ceased , and sales of these tick
ets has nearly stopped. There is
BQma talk of the eastern roads becom
ing involved in w'ar,1but there is no
public announcement of a cut in that
dirco'i"n.
CHICAGO , October- , 1 a. m.
There was a lively ran yesterday on
the ticket offices of the Wabash , the
Alton , the Rock J'lsrtl , and the C.
_ & t > .j5ilways. Siy were all sel-
JingWcket' to Kansas City for fifiy
cents. Mnn and women crowded the
offices and stood in line buying ns fast
as tickets could be handed out. The
evcir'ng trains were especially crowd
ed , and e'evcn coaches went out on
the Wabafh and Alton. The Wabash
is selling to Posria and return for
§ 1.50 , and to Hannibal for 83 00 All
of the above roads , and ho the Il
linois Cen'riil ' , are cutting o St.
Louis. The. Wabaih is celling at § 2 ,
and the others , uxceot the Rock
Island , at $1. There ia no indication
of a cessation in hostilities. Scalpers
and other speculators are buying
largely , and many people are going to
St. Louis and Kansas City because
they say it is cheaper tc travel than to
stay at home. It is said the Wabash
road sold 850,000 worth of tickets
Saturday. A mre'ing of the presi
dents of cutting roads is to be held
soon. The Alton road has also re
duced the rates from Chicago to Oma
ha to SO CO ; to Keokuk , $4 ; to Decatur -

WASHINGTON , October 18 4 p. m.
A letter received here this morning
states that Sitting Bull Ims raado ap
plications to surrender himself and
bind on the terms proposed by the
president , some time ago , provided be
can come into Fort Keo h without
military escort or being subject to in
terference from the Indian agents. He
desires to surrender and treat with
the military authorities only. His ap
plication has been forwarded to the
president for decision. It is thought
that the president will conclude to
honor Sitting Bull in this matter , in
order to relieve the northern frontier
and settlement of the hourly fear of a
raid of the Indians , especially as the
Indians propose to surrender on the
terms first proposed.
