ARMENIAN POPULATION GONE
Massacres Virtually Take All or Race
From Antioch.
BEIRUT, April 23. The Armenian pop
ulation of Antioch and vicinity has been
practically wiped out in the massacres of
the last few days by fanatical Moslems.
There are thousands of destitute Arme
nian widows and orphans still in the
district, unable to get away. There Is no
security of life near Antioch.
The situation In Alexandretta coatin
ues critical. Berlan Is still holding out
against the tribesmen that surrounded it
Beirut Is quiet as yet but there Is great
tension between Christian and the Mos
lem populations. Troops are arriving
here and the authorities are taking
forceful measures for the preservation of
order. Many people are leaving Beirut

The British warship which sailed to
relieve Deurtyul, an Armenian village

he was refused.
Two more British war vessels are ex

ance in public was a graphic demonstra

hold on the hearts of the people. He was
acclaimed by thousands on his way from

SULTAN GREETED BY PEOPLE
First Appearance of Ruler Since Re
cent Outbreak Well Received.
CONSTANTINOPLE. April 23. The
Sultan appeared on the streets of Con
stantinople today and was greeted by
the people with cries of adoration. With
a mask-like countenance and his head
sunk between his stooped shoulders, hi
acknowledged the salutations of tho
throng by curt nods.
The occasion of his Majesty's appear
ance was his regular Friday visit to
the white mosque outside the walla
of Yiidiz Kiosk, a ceremony known as
the Selamllk. It was the first time
the Sultan had been seen in public
since the recent outbreak. On the word
that the Selamllk would occur today,
the people in great numbers made their
way in carriages and on foot to greet
the Sultan at the Yiidiz Kiosk.
From the gate of the palace lnclosure
to the mosque, the broad driveway was
lined on each side by the picked regi
ment. Every. point of vantage was oc
cupied by the soldiers and the mosque
was completely filled by them.
After the completion of his devotions
the Sultan returned by the same Way
he canio and disappeared through the
broad portal Into the guarded precincts
of his palace.
His Majesty's progress was marked
by an ovation, the people, as he drove
by saluting him as their master and a.
saint.
His Majesty nodded to right and left
as his victoria -was driven at a slow
pace through the lines of soldiers, and
he carried his right hand at a salute
As the Sultan drove by the terrace
of white stone that is used by distin
guished visitors to watch his passage
to and . from the mosque, he looked
carefully to see if any of the Ambas
sadors were present. None was there
however, as they had by common con
sent agreed to remain away. His Maj
esty's tavorite colors, those of a Field
Marshal, were covered, today by an old
overcoat that he has not worn for
years. This garment is commonly be
lieved to have a lining of fine steel
mall, and his Majesty certainly looked
thicker through the body today than
he does when he is receiving In the
palace.
The usual procession attended the Sul
tan from the palace gate to the mosque
Prince Burrhen Eddin, fourth son of the
Sultan, and Tewflk Pasha, the Grand
Vizier, drove in a carriage with the Sul
tan's youngest son, a boy of 8. who was
dressed in the uniform of a Turkish
general.
Several of the Sultan's wives, In a
closed carriage drove down to the mosque
ln front of the Sultan. Eunuch walked
beside the vehicle. Through the open win
dows of the carriage the spectators
caught glimpses of faces. As one of the
Turkish women passed the diplomatic
representatives, she called the attention
of her companions to the new Parisian
hats worn by the European women. .
These carriages turned Into the yard of
the mosque, where the horses were un
harnessed and the women waited while
the Sultan went Inside for devotions.
A muezzin in the minaret of the
mosque, whose wonderful voice sounded
clear and solemn above the music of the
bands and the ringing acclaims of the
troops, intoned the call to prayer
After 20 minutes the Sultan left the
mosque, entered his carriage and the
procession made Its way back to the
palace gate as It had come. The Sultan
appeared a few minutes later at an open
window facing the approaches to the
gate and bowed in response to shouts
from the crowd of "Long life, a. long
reign and happiness to your majesty."
After the function the S000 troops dis
persed, some going to their barracks in
the city, while the household battalion
withdrew behind the palace walls The
people went back to church and 'in a
half hour the vicinity of the mosque was
silent and deserted.

Senator Stewart made many ' not
able speeches on the floor of tli

characterization of the demonetization
of silver as the "crime of -73" Is a
marker ln political history. After his
retirement from Congress, he divided
his time between Washington, where
lie had many Interests during his life
of fluctuating fortune, his farm in
nearby Virginia, and the West, where
at his home at Bullfrog. Nev., and else
where he had varied mining Interests
and experiences. Most all of the old resi

Career Active One.
William Morris Stewart was born at
Lyons. N. Y.. August 9. 1827. and soon
after his family removed to Ohio, where
he spent his early childhood and received
his academic education. He entered Yale
College, but before completing his course
was attracted by the gold discoveries ln
California, and went to San Francisco in
1850.
Shortly after he married Miss Annie
E. Foote, daughter of the ex-Governor
and Senator, and took up his residence in
Nevada County, studying law and being
admitted to the bar In 1832. He was at
once appointed District Attorney, and two
years later became Attorney-General of
California.
In 1860 he removed to Virginia City
Nevada, practicing law as before. He
became Interested In the Comstock I.od
property, making and losing several for
tunes ln the course of his mining career.
In 1861 he was a member of the Terri
torial Council; in 1863 a member of the
Constitutional Convention; and from 1S63
to 1875 was United States Senator At
the expiration of his term he resumed the
practice of law. only to give it up again
to become Senator .once more from 1887
to 1905.
Except for the first campaign of Bryan
In 1896. when the silver Issue was most
prominent. Mr. Stewart was a Republi
can. He was. however, a man of Inde
pendence, and often voted contrary to
the wishes of the party caucus. He took
a prominent part in the setting aside of
the Force bill ln 1892, and he never failed
to cast his vote ln the Interest of the
white metal whatever the attitude of his
party on that subject.

"I am sorry, indeed, to hear of Senator
Stewart's death," he said. T did not
even know that he was ill. He was a
valuable friend of the West, and history
probably will not produce a more earnest
and contlstent representative for Nevada
and all Western Interests than he was.
"His death narrows the number of Sur
viving Western Senators of pioneer davs
to a very few. The pioneers were all
ong-lived, but years are making fast
inroads on their ranks. I do not recall
today any other surviving Senator of the
old days who can mourn with me the de
parture of my colleague."
