ABDUL HAMID DEAD
The Sultan of Turkey Has
Been Poisonod.
NO DETAILS HAVE RECEIVED
Bli Life Ha Been Constantly Menaced
for Days. Attempting to Ke-
tore Orders.
Beblin, Nov. 18. A dispatch received
here from Sofia, Bulgaria, says: The
saltan of Turkey, Abdul Hamid, haa
been poisoned. No particulars have
been received.
Bis Life Constantly Menaced.
Constantinople-, (via Sofia, Bulgaria),
Nov. 19. The sultan for some time has
been in a state of the greatest alarm,
which told terribly upon his nerves.
Rumors of the discovery of plots against
his life became so frequent that they
ceased to attract attention.
Some of his ministers have had to be
kept constantly guarded by soldiers in
order to eive them courage enough to
transact the business of their respective
offices.
Throughout the night of Saturday, No
vember 18, the most critical day for the
Turkish empire, the sultan was engaged
sitting close to the telegraph instrument
in the Yildiz Ciosk, personally dispatch
ing instructions to- the provincial gov
ernors to do their utmost to restore
order in their districts. This indicated
that he had finally determined to take
the reins ot government in his own
hand?.

Two Stories
Told In
llie Brooklyn
Nayy-yard.
San Fbancisco, Nov, 19. A special
i from New York to the Chronicle says :
Two interesting and significant stories
were told in the Brooklyn navy-yard
which have a special bearing on events
now in progress of development. The
first relates to the young German em
peror, who made several visits to the
white Squadron when it was at Kiel.
One day he was talking with a celebrated
American captain.
"Captain,"-Baid he, ''I see that most
of your . country's warships are .fa&t
crnieers. What do you call them? Ah.
ommerce destroyers, do you not?"
"Yes, Emperor," said the American.
"We've been watching you on this
side," the emperor went on, "and we
have come to a conclusion that these
ships are built for a war 'with England.
What other nation has commerce to de
stroy?" There was silence after this, for our
captain had said more than he intended
to.
Grand Duke Alexis, who is a full Rus
sian admiral and head of the Kuscian
navy, was also a frequent visitor to the
Americans at Kiel. One dav while
watching the Columbia, the grand duke
said to the captain :
"I'm glad you Americans are rebuild
ing your fleet. Do you know what most
impressed me when I visited your
country? Tne first thing was your won
derful natural wealth, and, second, the
absolutely inadequate means at your
disposal for national defense. I have
heard the project of capturing one or two
of your great cities and holding for ran
som deliberately discussed by officers of
the European fleets, whose countries
have hard work to make ends meet, and
they meant it, too', but they were told
that Russia and the United States are
friends."
THKKK FOUND DEAD.
Triple Murder Probablp Committed

of the head, past of the skull gone, and
with Montgomery's rifle across his legs,
where it had evidently been placed.
Mrs. Montgomery was found in the dining-room,
lying on her face, shot in the
back. All had evidently been killed
while fleeing from the murderer or
murderers.
No cause for the deed is known. Ex
citement here is intense. No one but
the murdered people were known to be
on the premises at the time the tragedy
was committed. The coroner has been

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener
ally needed in Spring, when the languid
exeausted feeling prevails, when liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and alternate is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine haa often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers,
ao medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the malarial
poison. Headache, lnd igeMion, cor.sti

A Boy's Terrible Reed.
English, lnd., Nov. 20. Alvin
Thomas, 13 years old, killed his brother,
two years younger, because the latter
reported him for playing truant, and
then committed suicide.
Mrs. W. B. Meek, who resides at
Camptonville, Cal., says her daughter
was for ee veral years troubled at times
with severe cramps in the stomach, and
would be in such agony that it was nec
essary to call in a physician. Having
read about Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy she concluded to
try it. She found that it always gave
prompt relief. It was seldom necessary
to give the second dose. "It has not
only saved ns lots of worry and time,"
she says, "but also doctor bills. It is
my opinion that every family should
have a bottle of this remedv in the
house." For sale by Blakeley & Hough

' However. .
Cleveland, Nov. 20-. At the coroner's
inquest in the Central viaduct horror to
day, Augustine Rogers, the motorman
of the ill-fated car which plunged into
the river, testified that the conductor
ran ahead when the car stopped at the
safety switch, and signalled "All right
He stated the glass in the vestibule was
blurred hv rain and he did not discover
the bridge was open until the car was
within about 30 feet of the gates. He
then turned off the' current, set the
brake and jumped.- He testified that he
saw no red light and believed had there
been one displayed he would have seen
it. He admitted he bad been misled by
the fact that the electric cutoff, provided
by the street railway company as a safe
guard, was out of order.
Two other witnesses examined today
swore the red light was displayed over
the gates when the car struck them.
THE TAKIFF.
Many Newly Elected Congressman
favor Its Immediate Revision
Chicago, Nov. 20. A special from
Washington says :
In spite of the plane of the republican
leaders for the avoidance of a tariff fight
at this session, many newly elected
members are determined to keep up the
battle. Representative Tawney, of
Minnesota, said :
"The sentiment of the republicans in
my state is in favor of a conservative
revision of the tariff upon straight-out
republican lines. We believe that the
revenue for carrying on the government
should be raised by a tariff on imports
rather than by excessive taxation under
the. internal revenue system. If we can
not get a conservative revision it might
be advisable to pursue the 'popgun bill,
plan of accomplishing the purpose in
part."
Sailors Stabbed.
San Fbancisco, Nov. 20. Two sailors,
Joseph Welsh' and J. Wooler, were
stabbed this monning on Folsom street
by a man named Kelly, who made his
escape. The three men entered the Ab
bey saloon, kept by Mrs. Roberts, on
Folsom street, and had drinks there. In
a few moments they went out on Folsom
street, where Kelly, without warning,
commenced stabbing both of his com
panions. Wooler received half a dozen
sezere cuts in the vicinity of the heart,
ond will doubtless die. Welsh was cut
under the right arm and breast. His
rounds are severe, but not fatal.

'.'So far as we find out the bonds and
other securities stolen wiil amount to
$25,000. We make an audit four times a
year, and the last one, made last sum
mer, show everything to be all right. It
was about time to make another one,
which Brenzier knew, and knowing his
crime would soon be deecovered, he ran
away."

Speculation Concerning the Recommen
dations It Will Make.
Chicago, Nov. 20. A special from
Washington says :
A cabinet officer says that in all pro
bability the president's message will not
contain a direct recommendation for in
creased revenue, but it will urge the is
sue of the Allison exchequer notes to
provide for current expenses, and, possi
bly, to be used as the means of retiring
the greenbacks.

A Bit of Reminiscence About Things in
The Dalles of Loos; Ago.
Mr. Editor : Will you allow an old
resident to correct a statement in Satur
day's Chronicle? Referring to the
current lecture course In our town, yon
say this is the first course'. of the kind
ever given in Trie Dalles. Ever is a very
long word. In 1864 there was a course
given in the Methodist church, one of
which was by your father, Mr. Editor,
H-.s topic was "The Last of the Eccle
siastical Chancellors, Cardinal Wolsey
In 1868 there was another course given
in the old Congregational church, one of
which again .was by Judge Wilson on
the "Water Supply of Jerusalem," a
subject which he studied profoundly.
Another one of the course was given by
Dr. Wythe, the raicrosophist. His sub
ject was "A Drop of Water." Dr.
Wytbe had published a volume of bis
microscopic investigations and was
thoroughly full of his subject. Another
lecture of that course was given . by Dr.
A. L. Lindsley of Portland, on "The
English Language." This topic was
suggested by a' recent trip of the lecturer
from Boston to Portland by way of San
Francisco, during which he never heard,
anything spoken but our own president's
English, a thing that could not happen
in any other part of the globe. Atrip
of the same length on the eastern side of
the world would perhaps necessitate the
use of torty languages, wholly uninter-
changeable. He augured from this, a
great future for our noble language.
Besides these two courses tbete was a
course in aid of the sanitary commission,
during which Capt. J. M. Keeler gave
an account of the battle of Chancellors
ville, of which he had been a part.
Judge Deady gave more than one lecture
here, one of which was his "Trial by
Jury," of the other, this chronicler has
forgotten the subject. This last was one
of a course given in 1864. Hon. W. Lair
Hill, now of California, was one of the
many wno nave entertained and in
structed our citizens. Gov. Woods was
another. Gen. O. O. Howard also, once
in an arranged course and at another
time in a special lecture "The Battle of
Gettysburg." Of those whom I re
member as standing on the rostrum, all
have passed over to the great majority
except W. Lair Hill and Gen. Howard,
I had nearly omitted to mention Rev,
Thos. Condon, who was always one of
every regular course, and whose-freqnent
lectures on his favorite subject of study,
did mucn to tone np our audiences to a
receptive state of mind. He happily, is
yet where his work is of daily interest
and instruction to the students of the
State University.
The audiences are very largely changed.
I cannot recall to mind ever seeing the
face of the editor of The Chronicle
among those of 1864, or even later. But
I would like to have it kno-vn that our
citizens of that time were not wholly
given over to cards, and dancing. Some
of them knew they had heads as well as
heels. Remember, "there were kings
before Agamemnon." N.

TURKISH SITUATION UNIMPROVED
Bahrl Pasha Is Once More the Disturb
ing Element Be Is Opposed
By the Powers.
Constaxtinopte, Nov. 21. (Copy
righted, 1895, by Associated Press.)
Matters political do not look as bright
today as yesterday. Once more Bahri
Pasha is the disturbing element. This
notorious official made himself so con
spicuous by his cruelty to the Armen
ians and the mal-administration of his
district when governor of Van that the
British ambassador insisted upon his
removal. After considerable correspon
dence, plain evidence of the pasha's un
fitness for his position having been fur
nished the sultan, the latter removed
the pasha. Bahri, however, brought the
strongest influence to bear upon Abdul
Hamid, protested his innocence, claimed
that his removal was brought about by
intrigues of the Armenians, and event
ually Was not only forgiven, but decor
ated with the Order of Osmanien and
complimented upon his efforts to sup
press the disorder.
Soon after It was rumored that Bahri
Pasha was to be appointed to the com
maud of a large force of Turkish troops
being concentrated at Marash for a
movement upon Zeitoun, which is held
by the Armenians, who captured the
Turkish garrison, consisting of about 400
men. This report raised such a storm of
indignation iu diplomatic and other cir
cles here that the plan was abandoned.
Now, however, Bahri Pasha has been
appointed military commander of the
Aleppo district. The bad impression
this has produced can hardly be exag
gerated, for the diplomats feel that It
will be almost impossible to prevent his
pursuing the same tactics at Aleppo as
he did at Van. -Representatives
of the powers held
meeting to discuss the matter from all
standpoints, and joined in a note to the
Turkish government Baying they cannot
answer for the consequences which
might ensue should the Armenians be
massacred at Zeitoun after surrendering,
which the Armenian patriarch, at the
instance of the representatives of the
powers, is endeavoring to bring about in
ooder to prevent further bloodshed.
A dispatch from Aleppo says the great
est alarms prevails there.
Hurried and frequent councils of min
isters - are being held at the palace, and
some plain language is said to have been
used by the Sultan. That the sweeping
out of the present cabinet is contempt
ated nobody doubts.
