here from Sofia, Bulgaria, eays: The
sultan of Turkey, Abdul Hamid, has
been poisoned. No particulars hare
been received.
Bis Life Constantly Menaced.
Constantinople, (via Sofia, Bulgaria),
Nov. 19. The sultan for some time haa
been in a state of the greatest alarm,
which told terribly upon hia nerves.
Rumors of the discovery of plots against
his life became so frequent that they
ceased to attract attention.
Some of hie ministers have had to be
kept constantly guarded by soldiers in
order to give 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
Bitting 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
bands.
REGARDING OCR NAVY.
Two Stories Told In the Brooklyn
Navy-yard.
San Fbancisco, Nov, 19. A special
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," said he, "'I Eee that most
of your country's warships are ifast
cruisers. What do you call them? Ah,
ommerce destroyers, do you not?"
"Yes, Emperor," said the American,
i "We've been watching you on this
side," the emperor went on, "and we
have come to a conclueion 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 Ruspian
navy, was also a frequent visitor to the
Americans at Kiel. One day 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-
Bom 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." "'
THREE FOUND DEAD.
Triple Murder Probablp "Committed
Near Brownsville.
Brownsville, Or., Nov. 19. This
afternoon about 4 o'clock, at S. R. Tem
ple ton farm, three miles east of Browns
ville, John Montgomery, his wife and
D. B. McKercher were found dead,
having been murdered by unknown per
sons. Montgomery was found lying on his.
back in the front yard, near a picket
fence about 20 feet from the honse, with
the top of his head blown off. McKer
cher was found in the sitting-room.lying
on his face,with a shot in the left side
of the bead, part of the skull gone, and
with Montgomery's rifle across his legs,
where it bad -evidently been placed.
Mrs. Montgomery was found in the din
ing-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
notified, but no evinence has vet been
taken.
The cure of Rheumatism has often
taxed medical skill, but it's prevention
has been very easy by an occasional use
of Simmons Liver Regulator. It keeps
the liver well regulated, and the system
free from poison. Therein is the secret
of health. "I have used it for , years for
Indigestion and Constipation, and also
found it gives one relief from a touch of
Rheumatism." N. Hughes, Lordsburg,

arreet Bentzen and send him to Port
land. '
Electric Bitters.
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 has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious - fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the malarial
poison. . Headache, Indigestion, CocBti
pation, Dizziness yield to Elecl'-ic Bit
ters. Only fifty cents per bottle at
