Temporary excite ment was created on the exposition grounds yesterday afternoon by a fire on tne Micnvay. rne explosion oi a gaso line stove in the Old Plantation at the eastern extremity of the Midway set the frame structure on fire, and there was a panic among the freaks on the Midway.

' Memphis, Oct. 17.-Jeff Ellis, the negro who committed an assault on Miss Prater near Braden, and who 'confessed to other assaults and murders, was lynched near the scene of his crime at midnight by a mob of citizens.

William Blak Sr., Jason Blake, Prince Graves and William Frazter were convicted last evening of the murder of Mr. Raymond Meares, on the 9th of August last. Will iam Blake, Sr., was recommended to the mercy of the court, and his sentence was life Imprisonment. The other three were sentenced to be hanged on Dec. 6 next. After the prisoners were sentenced it was evident that there was dissatisfaction at the jury's recommendation to mercy of William Blake, Sr., and some persons were heard to say that Blake would never reach the penitentiary. The convicted men, as soon as court adjourned, about 7:30 o'clock, were handcuffed and taken out of the court room. On their way to the jail, within a few feet of the prison, the sheriff and his constables were over powered by a number of men, and the elder Blake and William Frazier, who were handcuffed together, were forced from the custody of the constables and taken oil into the woods. The handcuffs were unlocked in some way, and Frazier w;is returned to the custody of the jailor. The crowd, numbering about fifty men, proceeded to a dense piece of woods about half a mile from the court house and hanged the eider Blake with a plow line to the limb of a large pine tree. Several ebote were, fired Into hia body, nd the An Indirect Cbaree That President Gar field Treated Him Unfairly at th Na tional Republican Couveution of 1880. A Corrupt Bargain at the Convention of 18SS. j Chicago, Oct. 19. The intrigues, the ' jealousies and the traitorous knife thrusts of the last half century of American state craft are revealed in the fierce light of , stern criticism in "John Sherman's Recol- ; lections of Forty Years in the House, ! Senate and Cabinet," just published in ; this city. The fear that the venerable ! senator would reveal secrets long kept from the public in his forthcoming work has been to an extent realized. Grant, Garfield, Blaine, Arthur, Harrison and ! other Republican leaders are spoken of with unstinted praise for their high per sonal worth or statesmanship, but each is In guarded and covert language shown in i the less commendable light of scheming , politicians. The criticism is abnost in- j variably implied rather than direct, but it stands out clearly in the work as a whole. Owing to the close association of Mr. Sherman and James A. Garfield the criti cism of the n Dinination of the latter for president of the United States is perhaps one of the most striking features of the book. The author, while carefully avoid ing a direct charge of treachery on the part of the ex-president, very significantly makes it plain that Mr. Garflold was nomi nated at a convention to which he had gone as the trusted leader of the Sherman forces. Mr. Sherman gives in detail the history of the national convention of 1880.' Following the account of his own struggle for the nomination, he says: "In time I became thoroughly advised of what occurred at the Chicago conven tion and had become entirely reconciled to the result, though frequently afterwards I heard incidents and details which occa sioned me great pain and which seemed to establish the want of sincerity on the part of some of the delegates, and tended to show that for some time before the meeting of the convention the nomination of General Garfield had been agreed upon," The sting felt by Garfield's defection in 1890 is inadvertently shown by a senti ment .expressed during -the discussion of the national convention of 1893, where the senator remarks; "From later developments I became sat isfied that Harrison could not be elected, that Piatt and a powerful New York in fluence would defeat him if nominated. I therefore preferred the nomination of a new man. like William McKinley, but he had committed himself to Harrison, and, according to my code of honor, could not accept a nomination even if tendered him." When it was remembered that Blaine was also a candidate for the presidency be fore the convention that nominated Gar field, the significance of the following ex planation on the part of Senator Sherman of why he wa3 not reappointed by Presi dent Garfield as secretary of the treasury is readily understood: "In the latter part of November, 1880, General Garfield came to Washington and called upon Mr. Blaine, who, it was understood-, was to be secretary of state. Gar field came to my house directly from Blaine's and informed me that he had ten dered that office to Blaine and that it was accepted. He said that Blaine thought it would not be politic to continue me as sec retary of the treasury, as it would be re garded as an unfriendly discrimination by other members of Hayes' cabinet. I promptly replied that I agreed with the opinion of Blaine, and was a candidate for the senate." Something of the political scheming that again resulted in the defeat of the Ohio statesman in the national convention of 1888, and brought about the nomination of ex-President Harrison, can be easily be read between the lines in that part of the work devoted to this struggle. In discuss ing the result, Mr. Sherman says that he became satisfied that one delegate from New York controlled the entire delegation from that state, and between Saturday night, when the nomination seemed cer tain tp go to Sherman, and Monday morn ing, when the tide turned in favor of Har rison, a corrupt bargain was made in the interests of the latter, which secured him the support of New York and' gave him the nomination. Continuing, the author states: "It is to the credit of General Har rison to say that if the reputed bargain was made, it was without his consent at the time.' On the eve of another national cam paign, in which ex-President Harrison is expected to figure prominently, Mr. Sher man does not hesitate to state that in 1893 he did not consider Harrison a strong can didate. To his cold and abrupt manner he attributes his unpopularity at that time. Space is devoted by the author to an account of the1 important events of- each administration. In this connection Mr. Sherman lays bare many of the jealousies, political bickerings, and clash of ambitions that disturb the harmony of the party in power. Of Grant's administration he says it was a period of scandal and slander, and declares that the president rarely ex pressed any opinion or took any interest in public affairs.

London Newspapers Prove to Their Own Satisfaction That the Existing Com plica tions Can in No Way Be Affected by the Monroe Doctrine of the United Stntea. London, Oct. 21. The St. James Ga zette follows up its disclosures regarding the policy of the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, regarding Venezuela, and the apparent determination of the British government to uphold its claims by force of arms, by making the following impor tant statement: "We are in a position to state that' the Marquis of Salisbury has sent an ulti matum to President Crespo, which not only sets out the demands of the British government for reparation- on account of this arrest of the deputation and inspec tors of police at TJruan, but it also states the terms upon which Great Britain will definitely determine the boundary dispute with that republic. The ultimatum is now en route to President Crespo, if it is not already delivered to him." The Times and The Chronicle this morn ing print articles explaining in detail the position of the Venezuelan matter, the latter paper especially as regards the American point of view as indicated by official reports issued from Washington. "There is no doubt," The Chronicle says, "that the United States is determined to bring about an early settlement of the dis pute. No answer to Mr. Bayard's dispatch tn Iord Salisbury has yet been received at the embassy." 'i'J4d ocandard says: "The Venezuelan ultimatum is unlikely , to lead to pro longed or doubtful complications The convention of 1850 has been repeatedly in fringed by the Venezuelans in encroach ing upon soil indisputably British. These galling and high-handed acts might have been overlooked had not the 'outrage by the Venezuelan authorities reached lengths no longer endurable. We shall be surprised if the ' responsible diplomats of the United States persist in maintain ing' that the Monroe doctrine has -any bearing on the present case." The Daily Telegraph says: "It is diffi cult to see how Monroeism is applicable , to the Venezuelan affair. If the Venezur elans invade British Guiana they must, either be punished by us directly or they must be forced by the assumed protectors in the United States to respect interna tional laws." Insane In His Home. Chicago, Oct. 21. Armed with a Win chester rifle and a revolver a madman de fied the police for hours yesterday at No. 35 Woodland Park, in one of the most aristocratic residence districts of the city.
