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

THE 8TANFORD CASE.
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."

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

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

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.
Nothing will ever comer veritaoie in-
dominiinnnn nnnn the rjanacV BO long US

. .... .
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.

GERMANY'S ADVANTAGE.
IU Poaltloa la rurope Is Said to Be
Knvled by All.
Berlin, Oot 1 1. 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.

the James Q. Swan is at Port Townsend
with 1,080.- Considering that these

Behring sea, they are extraordinary for
this year. The sealers or the wniie

Fruitgrowing In Britlah Colombia.

says:
"If the fruitgrower of California,
with his vsst market and great centers
of population, immense facilities ol

difficulty in disposing of his crop, it is
clear that, although orchards may pay
st present in British Columbia, fruit
growing there on an extensive scale
(will be a failure."
FARM AND GARDEN
Useful Information Concern

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. Yes, if we have not the ma
chine we cannot expect to turn out a
