PORTE TO THE POWERS Sultan's Reply to the Am bassadors Unsatisfactory. A MEETING IN CONSTANTINOPLE Tha Saltan Greatly Dlaturbed Over the FrcMDoe of the Brltleh Fleet Oft Lcmnoi Ialand. Constantinople, Oct. 18. Late today it beoame known that the Turkish gov ernment bad finally presented the en voys of the six powers a reply to their collective note on the subject of the re oent disturbances here. The reply is not satisfactory to the ambassadors. The porte, in its answer, enumerates the measures taken to preserve order and declared that Mussulmans were not the aggressors in the recent riot ing, but, on the contrary, the Armeni ans killed inoffensive Mussulmans. The Turkish government added that as soon as the Armenian refugees leave the churches in which they sought ref uge the normal aspect of the city will be restored. It denies ordering that no food be supplied the refugoes in the churches, and urges that the ambassa dors assist in restoring order, claiming that Armenian agitators are intriguing to cause fresh disturbances. The note concludes with the asser tion that the government is about to open an inquiry into the recent rioting with the view of discovering the guilty parties. The six ambassadors met today to consider what shall be done further. It is expected that dragomans of the different embassies will assist the Turkish officials in clearing the vioin ity of the Armenian churohes of the rioters infesting them and installing the refugees in their homes. The sultan continues greatly dis turbed by the presence of the British fleet off the island of Lemnos, and has sent again to the ambassador of Great Britain to ask for the withdrawal of the British warships. Sir Phillip Cur rie, it is understood, persists in refus ing to recommend the withdrawal of the squadron. Advices from Trebizond, Armenia, confirm the report of the massaore of Armenians. A general panic prevails in that oity. The number of killed is not known. Nothing definite has yet been heard from Sivas, Van or Bitlis, where disturbances between the Turks and Armenians were reported to have taken place. A consignment of 5,000 Mauser rifles ordered by the Turkish government ar rived here several days ago, but they till remain on the lighters, to which they were transferred, as the bills of manufacturers have not been paid, and the agents of the firm decided not to give up the rifles until money is forth coming. Izzet Effendi, a celebrated Turkish lawyer, has been arrested on a oharge of being the author of the placards which were posted in the publio thor oughfares of Btamboul, espousing the Armenian cause. LA PAZ DESTROYED. The Storm In tower California Cauaed the Death of Many Persona. San Francisco, Oot 18. Private dis patches received here say the hurricane at La Paz, Mexico, completely destroy ed the palaoe. The storm was follow ed by a tidal wave, the waters in the bay rising to an unprecedented height, inundating that part of the city front ing the bay, and carrying out to sea men, animals and debris of wrecked buildings as the tide subsided. The dispatoh announcing the destruction of La Paz was dated Guaymas, and was received by Shipping Agent Ren ter. The dispatch said the steamer Willamette Valley, of the Paoifio Mail line, had been delayed two days at Ouaymas by the same storm which devasted La Paz. but that she left Ouaymas last night for the north. Mexicans here say that they have had dispatches about a severe storm which prevailed all along the coast early this week. The loss of life is reported heavy, but details of the disaster are meager. La Paz is the oapital of Lower Cali fornia and situated on the bay of the same name. The port is well shelter ed and easily defensible against the at taok from the sea. The oity had a pop ulation of 4,000; a cathedral, a govern ment house and a townhouse, and the place was once the abode of luxury, as evidenced by the handsome dwellings of the wealthy class. La Paz was once the seat of extensive pearl fisheries. Silver mining was ex tensively engaged in and the commeroe of the port was not inconsiderable. Another Monitor Defenae Gun. San Francisco, Oct 14. Another of the monster guns especially constructed by the war department for the defense of San Francisco, has arrived at the West Oakland railroad yards. It is a more massive piece of ordnanoe than Big Betsy on the Monterey, or the great gun at Fort Point The gun is forty two feet long and fifteen inch bore. The diameter of this tremendous en gine of war is fully fifty inches at the f u an. nroiirht of the rjonderous i. n.h that it taxed the strength of the cars that bore it from the East to this coast T-.trurt the Inaorgenta.

Attorney-General Harmon Order It ap pealed to the Supreme Court. San Franoisoo, Oot 16. The govern ment's suit against the Stanford estate is to be appealed immediately to the United States supreme court by the government The latter's oounsel, ex Judge MoKissiok, has received instruc tions to that effect from Attorney-General Harmon. The dispatch said: "Sorry you lost, but feel you did everything possible. Case should be appealed to supreme court." Judge McKissick has his petition for annual nrnnnrflri. And it will be filed sometime in the next few days. The oitation to the other side win ne issued at once, and within ten days be thinks the appeal should be perfected. In speaking on the appeal, Judge MoKis siok said: "When the appeal goes before the TTnifnii Kt.n.M minieme court the at torney-general will enter an appearance and move the court to advance the case on the calendar and set it for a hear ing on some specified day, convenient to the court. The court UBuaiiy grants annli rflnnnufu nil motion of the BttOr- ney-general, but the day for hearing the case cannot be known until tne court sets the date. It is not the cus tom of the court to displace other cases specially set for others newly advanced on the oalendar, but I am inclined to think the hearing will be reaohed r.imn in Tfonnmher. But as it all raests in the discretion of the court, I may be mistaken as to the time; ana nt if tha hunrinir is TMistDoned later than January I shall be somewhat sur prised." TO HANQ NEXT WEEK. Preparation for the Flrat Federal Ex , ecutlon in California. San Francisco, Oot 12. Prepara tions are already being inado for the hanging of St Clarie and Hansen, the Hesper murderers. Nothing is likely to prevent the execution of the would-be-pirates, and they will be Btrung up on Friday, the 18th instant. Warden Hale has oonfened with United States Marshal Barry Baldwiu, and the two officials had a long talk. Baldwin will have charge of the execution and will read the death warrant, though it is probable that the state hangman, Amos Lunt, will send the men' into eternity. Baldwin is rather nervous over bis prospective duties, as he has an evident reluctance to depriving two human be ings of their lives, though compelled to do so by law. The hanging of St. Clair and Hansen will be the first federal execution in this state. While the federal courts are very positive iu their dealings with criminals, and a greater per oent of oonvioto are secured in them than in the state courts, the sentences given out have been always for imprisonment Sheriff Lyndon, of Santa Clara coun ty, says that St Clair nd Hansen took the news of the failure to receive a commutation of sentence very hard, es pecially Hansen, the less guilty of the two. He had hoped for clemency, though be had prepared himself for the worst The Durrant Trial the Cauee. San Franoisoo. Oot 18. Mrs. Susie Rogers, wife of Philip Rogers, has dis annnunui Her husband has been searching for her for three weeks and now believes that lie bus located nis missing wife in Wausau, Wis. Mr. Rogers is a well-to-do citizen who has many friends iu Oakland. He ia nortain that the Durrant case has something to do with the wreck of his home. Mrs. Rogers was much inter ested in the oase, and could not let a Hav nawfl without heariuc the testi mony. She compelled ber husband to sit down every morning ana reaa to hnr thn full renort of the trial. Rog ers waded through the testimony for days just to please his wire, some Hma it. would take him nearly half a day to complete his task. But with undaunted beorism he struggiea on.ae termined to please his wife even at the expense of his business. At last his endurance was no lODger equal to the task and Rogers deliber- arolv UTitnf. fill A strike and declared that he would not read the stenograph ic reports any more. He was wining tn nimnrnmiffi on an amicable basis and read the introduction to the trial each day, but this did not satisfy Mrs. Rogers. She wanted to hear the whole .uoa nr nnt.hinff. The husband was firm, however, and would not yield, so there was a disagreement men Airs. Rogers went away. I am not onina to hunt for her any more," said Mr. Rogea. "I gave her iq oniui a hnmn as ia enioyed by any woman in this city and still she was not satisfied. If she wants to remain in Wanann. where I believe she is, she can do so. It seems hard, though, to lose a wife with whom you have liven eleven years. I pity any husband who ia nnmnpllml to read the entire Durrant case to his wife. His life is certainly made miserable. I have given notioe that I will nut be responsible for debts contracted by my wife. If she desires to return home she can do so, hut i will nnt nonannt to read that Durrant case from beginning to end each day as a compromise. If she wants to come home and spend her time in reading tie case she can do so. I have no ob jectons to her reading the case, but 1 do protest against being made ber slave in the matter." j Corea's Qaeen Keported Aeelnaed. Yokohama, Oct 14.

THE ITALIAN FETES A Letter From Pope Leo to the Papal Secretary of State. INDEPENDENCE OP THE PAPACY Nothing Will Brer Confer Toll So Long aa It Does Not Have Tem poral Jnrladlctlon. Rome, Oct 11. The letter of his holiness, Pope Leo XIII, to Cardinal Rampolla, the papal secretary of state, on the recent fetes in oelebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the en try of the Italian troops into Rome was published this evening. It is ss fol lows: "The sentiment of humanity, which even minds dominated by passion re tcin, seemed to permit of the hope of some consideration in our old age, but this has been brutally ignored. We have been reduced to become almost immediate witnesses of the apotheosis of the Italian revolution and the spoli ation of the holv see. That wbioh most afflicted us is the design to per- petuate rather than to terminate we oonfliot of which no one can measure the disastrous effects. Tha final nhiaot of the OOCUDBtion of Rome was not to complete politioal . .. .1- - unity, but in destroying tne wans oi the temporal metropolis, to more olose ly attack the spiritual power of the pope. The object was to change the nWintna of Rome, return to naffanism and give birth to a third Rome and a third era of civilization. I his it was desired to celebrate recently under sanction of the new law, by noisy demonstrations oonduoted by a sect wbioh is the enemy oi uoci. Th nation snffcrs. for not only are the promises of mutual benefit unful filled, but, morally, Italy is divided and subversive to factions that menace all civil and social institutions in augmenting numbers and force.

This oondition tney preieua iihviuk cmarnntned na. subordinated to the ar bitrary will of others, and lately there has been a suggestion oi a threat to ao rogate even the guarantee itself." The letter of the pope then vaunts the blessing of the pontifloial sover eignty, and invites Italians not to be bound up with sects, and to oonsider how peruioious it would be to perpetu ate the conflict which is profiting the enemies of Christ It affirms that the hnd of the church, following with lov ing vigilance humanity's road, does not refuse to accept the reasoname necessities of the times. It oonoludes with: "If Italians, throwing off the Ma annin voke. would listen to us, we nnnlil onnn our heart to the fondest hopes. Otherwise we can but predict new perils and greater disasters. Situation Far From Keaaaurlng. London, Oot 18. The oorresondent of the Standard at Constantinople says the situation is far from reassuring. While the Armenians, and some sec tions of the Christian population, shows less alarm, the Moselm element ia in a atatn of effervesoenoe. which is causing the greatest anxiety at the pal aoe. Revolutionary placards were nnatAii vnutarriav at the mosaue and in publio plaoes clamoring for a constitu tion and for a meeting of national as semblies. Though great exasperation is felt by the Moslem classes against the Armenians, the young Turkish nartv ia adrbitlv Drofitinn by the gen eral confusion to excite animus against the sultan, who it declares to oe pn mariiv rRnnonniblfl for the Dresent state of affairs. The principal fear at the palaoe arises not from the Armenians, hnr. tmm thn revolntionarv spirit dis played by the Moslems. This fear will almost certainly Ming aDont Armenian reforms, which there is every reason to hope will be embodied as published be fore the end of the week. The Inherltanee-Tax Law. San Francisco, Oot 14. The execu we nf thn Wilmerdinar estate propose to test the constitutionality of the in heritance-tax law on the ground that estates under $5 are exempt from the tax. This is said to be in violation of the provision of the constitution that all legislation in this direction shall have a uniform application. Judge Coffey has upheld the aot, and the oase will be carried to the supreme court Wilmerding, who was a wholesale liquor merchant, left an estate valued at 1200,000-, 000. If the act is held to be constitutional the Stanford estate will have to pay a tax of 200.000. Not Knoag-h to Fay Hla Oebta. New York, Oct. 18. A local paper says the estate of the late Abraham C.

A person at oourt who is exceedingly well informed in diplomatic affairs ss regards the views of the emperor, made the following statement: "Our position in Europe becomes more and more enviable, and one would be blind not to see it France is held in check by Russia's Asiatio policy. Russia's most important and most argent objoct is the paralyzing of the new great Asiatio power, namely, Japan, with whom she must sooner or later clash arms. What would become of Russia should she not be friendly with Germany during this engagement for life or death? She is, therefore, absolutely forced to cultivate a good understanding with us. It is a matter of necessity wbioh causes this attitude. As to England, she is also obliged to make us important concessions should she desire our support in any question in which we have interest "This situation constitutes a great advantage. From our point of view it enables us to maintain European peace, for this is necessary for our national development At the same time it gives us opportunity for imparting im pulse to our interests outside of Eu rope." AT ATLANTA'S EXPOSITION. The Liberty Hell l.iven an Oration Un precedented In It History. . Atlanta, Oct 11. The ovation which Atlanta gave the liberty bell on its arrival yesterday, unprecedented in the history of the precious old relio, was followed by another even more imposing, if less spontaneous, this morning, when it was formally receiv ed and installed at the grounds. Mem bers of the Philadelphia delegation with the Atlanta committee, were es corted to the fair grounds by the mil itia. The bell was drawn by six hand some gray horses. The crowd was so dense that it took the efforts of the en tire exposition police to keep the road way open. Whenever the bell appear ed there was a scream of delight from thousands of ohildron. The bell was formally received by Mayor King, whose address was re sponded to by Mayor Warwiok, of Phil adelphia. Oilmore's band . played "Star Spangled Banner," after whioh Governor Atkinson welcomed the bell in behalf of the state, followed by President Collier, representing the ex position oompany. Then Oilmore's band gave "Dixie," and the Atlanta artillery fired a salute of thirteen guns. The school ohildreu were then per mitted to pass the bell and touch it, whioh concluded the day's programme. "" Very Much Like annexation. London, Oot 18. The Paris corres pondent of the Times says the protect orate over Madagascar will be exceed ingly like annexation. The premier, the husband of the queen, and all mili tary and prinoipal ohieis oi his party, will nrohablv be banished. The native army will be disarmed, and there will be French garrisons to repiaoe it every where. The police will be in the hands of the French, as will also the customs and inland taxes. The Standard says of the Madagas car question: "While congratulating m. moot nnon the clearing of the way to the ex ercise of a protectorate in Madagascar, it is scarcely necessary to add that other parties interested will look to Franne for a recognition of their legal ly established rights. Even on selfish grounds, the repubiio win ao wen to throw nnnn the vast domain over which they have gained an influence to Euro pean and American enterprises. An attempt to exolude the commeroe of nthnr nut.inna hv nrohibitive tariffs will be a dear breach of international obli gations." Good Catch of Healing Schooner. faattla. Oct. 14. The Indian seal ing schooners Columbia, Deehaka and Behring Sea, arrived today with 644, 593 and 650 skins, respectively, and the James Q.

The sealers or the wniie fleet have averaged but 150 to 400 in Rnhrinir bph. and the remainder they secured off Japan and Cooper island. Captain O. F.

FARM AND GARDEN Useful Information Concern ing Farm Work. HATCHING AND BEARING CHICKS The Poultry Architect Gives Borne Goad Idea Which May Be or Inter est to Fooltry Reisers. Almost every poultry feeder has some particular way of hatching and rearing chickens, and tho following novel plan, in the Poultry Arohiteot, has some good ideas that may be of in terest to our readers: The plan con stists in having a separate yard and house, for every three sitting hens. The house consists of a small lean-to shed, built of matched boards or othor material, and lined on the inside with tarred roofing. Tho bouse occupies a space of 4x5 feet on the ground, is four feet high on the back, and five feet ir front Has a door two feet wide. It also has a 8x4 foot-window in the front, facing the yard, to admit the sun. The house is floored with matched flooring, raised six inohes above the ground. Adjoining the house is a yard 9x10 foot In size, in whioh feed, water and a dusting box are always ready for the hens, they be ing allowed to come off and go back at their pleasure, after being startod right Three hens are to be set at the same time, so that whon they hatch the chickens oan all be given' to one hen, and the other two hens given their lib erty or set in another house of the same charaoter. The hen is kept oon fined in this house or yard until the chicks are weaned, when she is given her liberty, and the chicks left to keep house for themselves until sold or otherwise disposed of. Low roosts are to be supplied for them if kept beyond the broiler age. The small hole or ventilator, above the door, is to be kept closed at all times, except during the summer or early fall months. The window sash should also be removed at this time, and replaced with a frame covered with wire netting. A brooder oan be used in this house to hover the chicks. The advantages of this plan are, the feeding and watering oan all be done at one time; the hens oan be allowed to come off and go baok at their will, thus saving watching; be ing separated from other hens and stock, they are not worried or diBtnrb ed: there being only three hens to the house they do not fight or get on the wrong nest; convenience and general good results. These houses or yards are built in a row, and face a large grass or clover plot and cultivated field, into whioh the ohioka are allowed to range at wilL Going Into Dairying. The man who goes into dairying, says L. S. Hardin, must not forget that he must outline some method for mak ing a profit out of the by-product of his dairy. This will consist of skimmilk, buttermilk or whey. They oannot be fed baok to the cow to make more milk of and, according to the opinions of many of the best dairymen, this is the best disposition to make of these ar ticles. Then there are calves to feed with them, but probably better than all in the hands of the average man the pig is the best factor for working out a profit He will eat unlimited quanti ties of skimmilk, buttermilk or whey and get fat on all of them, but he will be wasteful unless the feeding is done in the right way. For this purpose there is much to learn, both about the nature of this kind of feed and the hog himself. The milk or whey must not be too old or sour, and it must be fed in conjunction with ground feed in the proper proportion. The hog must not be too old or of a non-fattening kind, but he should be young enough to take kindly to milk and of a breed that knows how to utilize the muscle and fat-forming qualities of feed. In other words the subject must be studied and all modern knowledge on the sub ject learned. There are exoellent sta tion bulletins on the subject for those who will take the trouble to hunt them up, but no very modern book bearing directly on this point Harris On the Pig" was once the best book about breeding and feeding pigs, and well worth studying, especially in con junction with the bulletins referred to. Useful Iteme. Warm linseed oil applied briskly with a soft cloth makes a nice soft pol ish on woodwork. Woolen goods should never be wrung after washing, for this stretches them. They should be put through a wringer and hung out to dry. Bread should never be kept in an airtight place, for this gives it an un pleasant and stale flavor. It should be kept in a wooden box or eathenwar? jar, with a cloth over the top, or if a cover be nsed, small holes should be made in it, through which the air can penetrate. Fresh bread is very indiges tible and is improved by being kept a day after baking. Home-made bread, when properly made, is very much more wholesome snd nourishing than baker's bread. Dairy DoU. As soon as cool nights, or cold nights, come, stable the cows. Rational care is what the cow needs. She does not need pampering. It is possible that a dairyman may buy all his cows snd scbieve the great est possible success, but we do not be Here it - . Start with a good cow, is the advice given.
