Constantinople, Not. 12. (Copy'
righted 1895 by the Associated Press. )-
Each day shows the sitoation here more
threatening. The porte today, replying
to the identical notes of the ambassadors
of Germanv, Austria and Italy, eim ply
said information regarding the scheme
for reform in Armenia would be forward
ed to the representatives of these powers
without delav: in other words, these
ambassadors, at least, obtained do satis
faction at all. It is not yet known if the
notes of the ambassadors of Great Brit
ain, Russia and France. have been re
fered to. '
. Surprise is expressed even by diplo
mats in this citj who expected almost
anything from the ports, at the action of
the sultan in sanctioning the official' note
issued yesterday expressing Abdul Ham
id's thanks for the energetic, measure
taken by the imperial authorities for
suppressing the disturbances ' in Asia
Minor, asserting that order has now
been restored in all districts recently the
scene of riots and conflicts, and adding:.
"Precautions have been taken to insure
the maintenance of order;" This really
looks like mocking the ambassadors. As
to order having been restored, in the
disturbed' districts it needs only to be
said that the ruoblization of 150,000
troops to be sent to these districts is pro
gressing as actively as the Turkish
government can pursue the undertaking,
Hampered by the lack of funds and the
incompetency of its officials.
It was stated this afternoon in Euro
pean omcial circleB here that as toe re
sult of an additional exchange of views
between the powers a joint course of ac
tion, involving the display of naval and
possibly military force, has already been
decided upon.
Advices received today announce fresh
disturbances at Marasb, Bitils and Sivas,
with their attendant massacres. It is
also announced that the battalion of
' Turkish troops in the garrison at Zei
toun, which recently distinguished it
self by surrounding and shooting down
Armenian insurgents, was later be
sieged in their barracks by the Armen
ians, to whom the soldiers eventually
capitulated with their arms and ammu
nition. The Armenians now occupy the
quarters at Zeitonn and are gathering
ammunition and provisions, throning
up fortifications, and in every way pre
paring to hold the place.
Considerable anxiety is felt in Amer
ican circles here on account of the
absence of news from districts where
American missionaries are stationed.
Ambassador Terrill has telegraphed
Commissioner Darnham, at Harput,
asking him if the American mission is
safe.
According to advices today from Had
jin, several villages in that vicinity have
been attacked by rioters, who massacred
the inhabitants and plandred the pro
perty. It is feared that the disturbances
will spread to Hadjin.

from Vladivostock says that the chief of

The Japanese troops are concentrated

hostile that probably troops will have to

KUSSIAN OPINION.
a Protectorate
Powers Must Establish
Over Turkey,
New Yoke, Nov. 13. A special to the
Herald from St. Petersburg says
Lord Salisbury's speech at the Guild
hall has produced an electrical effect
here. It has brought about the uni
yersal expression of opinion that the
powers must intervene with joint action
in Turkey. The Nbvosti says :
In order to avoid war the powers
must establish a protectorate over
Turkey. The Mohammedans, Kurds,
Syrians and Cretans are rising in various
parts of the empire and Turkey is hur
riedly calling out her reserves."
The Novoe Vremya in a long article on
the situation speaks of the power of the
Turkish Army being great by reason of
ts fanaticism and its being organized by
German officers.
It says Russia roust be equal to the
occasion, one of the necessities being the
concentration of 60,000 troops at Erze-
roum to begin with.
. Important Vescislon,
Washington, Nov. 13. Chief Justice
Fuller handed down the court's opinion
on the motion of the Bell Telephone Co.
to dismiss the suit of the United States
against that company and Emil Berli
ner, involving the invention of the speak
ing machine. The case was appealed
from the decision of the circuit court of
appeals, for the first circuit, and the
motion to dismiss was based on the
ground thrt the act creating the circuit
court of appeals, in providing that these
courts should have final jurisdiction in
patent cases, had deprived the supreme
court of juiisdiction. The motion to
dismiss was denied. The decision was
lengthy, concluding as follows :
"We cannot impute to congress the
intention of narrowing the appellate jur
isdiction of this court in a suit brought
by the United States, as a sovereign, in
respect to an alleged miscarriage in the
exercise of one of its functions, as such,
deeply concerning the public interests
and not falling within the jurisdiction of
the act."
San Fbancisco, Nov. 33. The Occi
dental & Oriental steamship Coptic
Captain Lindsay, arrived here last night
from -the Orient and' Hawaii. Among
her passengers from the fatter place was
A. T. Hatch, late minister of foreign
affairs of the island republic, and recent
ly' appointed Hawaiian minister to the
United States,, to, succeed' Minister
Thurston. The Coptic was a. recent
caller at the ports which the quarantine
officers call inflected, and it will be late
in , the morning before she: will dock
Mr. Hatch, with others, was compelled
to remain aboard the ship, which anch
ored near' the fort, Charles Wilder,
Hawaiian consul-general, went on on
the Hartley to meet , his late chief, and
the two- had -a long Consultation,' the
consul remaining on board all night.
Air. Hatch did not have much to re
port. All - of the political exiles of
Hawaii, with few exceptions, have been
pardoned ' and' are ' returning', to the
country, each steamer bringing several.
Ex-Queen Liliookalani- has-been ill,
but her- sickness- was not regarded as
being serious. '
The cholera has disappeared, but its
lesson remains. The drainage of Honol
ulu has been made almost perfect.
Creeks have been walled up to stop
overflowing and swamps have been
cleaned up. Business was badly de
pressed by the cholera, but with the re
moval of quarantine ' embargoes it was
improving.
Another passenger of importance was
Major-General D. T. Subotich, of the
Russian army, lately stationed at Viadi-
voscock. He talks of commerce and in
dustrial development, attaching the
greatest importance to the trans-Siberian
railway. He says Russia plans the
establishment of great fish canneries on
the Asiatic coast. Their " operation
means competition with United States
fishing-interests. The general' was ac
companied by his wife.

FIRK OUT AT LAST.
Wheeling- a Weeelbarrbw Around the
- -World on a Wager.
Chicago, Nov. 12. Dick Whitting
ton, in black for hiBcat.but accompanied
by a bull terrier and trundling a wheel
barrow, reached Chicago last night.
Wittington, whose real name is William
H. Bourne, left San Francisco April 5 to
wheel a wheel-barrow around the world,
within three years on a wager, he says,
of $10,000. When he left San Francisco
he carried as companions a cat and a
bull terrier pup. The cat died just as
the trio reached the Kaneas line. Whitt-
ington reached Chicago 12 days ahead of
time. He carries with him a book con
taining the signatures of the postmasters
of all towns on the route. He will leave
Chicago Wednesday for Cleveland. He
expects to reach Boston in March,

Albany, Or., Nov. 12. A special from
Lebanon says: News has just been
brought to this city by Stagedriver Flory
that the poatoffice at Sodaville was
robbed last night about 3 o'clock. The
safe was blown open and about $100 in
money secured. About f GO of this was
postoffice money. There is no clue as to
the identity of the robbers. A lady near
heard a noise in R.; W. FiBher's store,
where the postoffice is- located, which
Repairs Will Soon He Begun on the
Bozeman Tnonel.
Livingston, Mont., Nov. 13. The fire
in the Bozeman tnnnel, which has been
raging furiously for nine weeks, has at
last ournea itselt out, and the tunnel is
about clear o' smoke and deadly gases.
As soon as the tunnel cools sufficiently
the task of cleaning it out will be com
menced. Thousands of tons of rock
have fallen on the track. This obstruc-
will be removed, and temporary timbers
will be put in. It is expected that this
work will take two months or more, but
when it is completed trains will be run
through the mountain again. The
Northern Pacific, it is stated, has dicided
to line and arch the entire tunnel with
solid brick masonry. Its progress, how'
ever, will not interfere with the use of
the tunnel.
THE CZARINA'S HEALTH.
Alarming Reports Are Authoritatively
Stated to be False.
New Yobk, Nov. 13. A special to the
Herald from St. Petersburg says the sen
sational rumors lately circulated in le
ference to the health of the czarina, and
the reports that an operation will be re
quired are absolutely without founda
tion, and there is the best of authority
for contradicting them.
The Herald also publishes the follow
ing from Tsarkoe Seloki :
Owing to the number of false reports
concerning- the czarina's health, it can
be stated authoritatively that it is nor
mal. It may be stated, as further con
firming this, that the czar left here this
morning . tor Kronstadt in perfect
spirits. '
Soon There Will be no Armenia to
Save. ,
Chicago, Nov. J4. The Associated
Press today received the following from
Dr. M. M. Manga, the Syrian leader of
the Society of Ethical Culture, in this
city, and one of the most emieent Ar
menians in the United States.
Very ' recently massacres of Armen
ians, reported from Trebizond, Erzer
oum. Moosh and Diarbekir,, fully con
firm the words spoken by the Turkish
commissioner-general to the World's
Columbian Exposition, Hakki Bev. 'If
we (Turks)cannot have the country, we
ball see that you (Armenians) don't get
it.' There is veav little doubt that the
Turks believe their days are numbered,
and are, therefore, determined to exter
minate the Armenians, root and branch,
before they themselves have been final
ly and forever driven out of the civilized
world. If Europe is to act at ali, it
must act at once, for soon it will.be too
late to undertake the 'salvation of Ar
menia, as there will be no Armenia left
to save. " '
The Sick and the Dead.
Niagara, Nov. 14. Mrs. Mary Ben
field, widow of William Benfield, died at
St. Catherines, Ont., the other day
She and her husband were warm friends
of the Emperor. Maximilian and Em
press Carlotta of Mexico. They played
prominent parts in the closiog scenes of
the emperor's life when the country was
taken by Juarez, and they had to flee for
their lives in disguise. Mrs. Benfield
always maintained that if the emperor
had followed her husband's instructions
he might have escaped with the empress.
She left many relics of court life in
Mexico, including portraits of Maxi
milian, and Carlotta. Mrs. Ben field's
body has been taken to Kentucky for
burial.
Personal Unconuter Over Politics.
Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 13. Governor
Brown and W. H. Newball, a clerk in
the auditor's office, quarreled in the
statehouse yesterday, and passed the lie,
and would have come to blows had by
standers not interfered. Newhall had
accused the governor of voting the re
publican ticket and acting the part of a
traitor. The executive responded with
an emphatic denial, and one of the men
struck at the other, when Iriends separ- j
ated them. It was claimed that Gov
ernor Brown attempted to draw his re
volver, but he ' denies that he was
armed. j - '

Detroit, Nov. 14. The attention of
General R. A." Alger was called to the
reference to him in the second volume 9!
Senator Sherman's memoirs, the proof
sheets of which have been sent to var
ious newspapers throughout the country.
General Alger said .: ,
,'1 am very much surprieed that Sena
tor Sherman, laboring under the disap
pointment of not receiving a nomination
should connect my name with it. If he
knows anything about the matter,, he
knows his charges against me are with
out foundation.. There never was a time
wnen his com Dined vote, and mine
would have nominated him in 1888. My
request to my friends was that in case
my nomination was not. possible, they
should cast their votes for General Har
rison, believiug that a soldier shouid be
nominated. - 1 asked them as a second
choice to support Senator Sherman. If
any money was used,' which I do not be
lieve, to purchase votes from the South,
it was against my positive instructions.
and no bill of the kind has ever beeu
presented, to me -or paid, by me."
The quotations from Senator Sher
man's second volume to which General
Alger excepts are those in which Mr.
Sherman, in referring to the contest for
the presidential nomination of 1S83,
writes:
I believe, and had, I though, conclu
sive proof that, friends of General Alger
substantially purchased the votes of
many delegates from the Southern states
who had been instructed in their con
ventions to vote for me."
Senator. Sherman,, in this 1 volume,
dwells upon the history of his party in
the Hayes cabinet .and gives a pretty
complete, history, of the famous, contro
versy between Blaine . and Conkling
which was. a momentous event, in the
political history of the next few years.
It resulted, he says, in the nomination
apd election to the office of vice-presi
dent of Chester A. Arthur, and so re
sulted in putting into the office of presi
dent the very man whom a few years be
fore in 1878 Senator Sherman, as a
member of the 'Hayes cabinet, had .re
moved fi-QDi the office of collector of the
port of New York for "good cause." In
speaking of the contest for the namina?
tion of 1888, Mr. Sherman says he was
convinced that Blaine was not a candi
date and that he was confident that he
was to be nominated. He adds:
On Monday, June 25, 1 did not anti
cipate a change on the first ballot from
the last one on Saturday. . I did expect
from my dispatches that the nomination
wouid be made that, day in my favor,
but as the result proved, an arrangement
had been made on Saturday that prac-
j tically secured the nomination of Harri
son. From the best information I could
gather, I have no hesitation in express
ing the opinion that I was defeated, for
the nomination by New York.
"I believed then, as now, that one. of
the delegates from New York practically
controlled the whole delegation, and that
a corrupt bargain was made on Sunday
which transferred the great body of the
vote of New York to General Harrison
and led to his nomination. It is to the
credit of General Harrison to say that if
the reputed bargain was. made, it was
made without bis consent at that time,
nor did he carry it into execution.
