TURKISH MASSACRES
Were Organized ly the
Authorities.
THIRTY HOURS OF BUTCHERY
Katlmatett Tliat Between 30,000 and
40,000 People Lout Their Lire
In the Riots.
Constantinople, Sept. 1. There ia no
longer any doubt that the massacres of
Armenians were organized by the Turk
ish authorities, and it has been ascer
tained that orders were only given to
Basbi Bazooka to cease massacreing
Armenians after the bloody work had
been going on for 30 hours.
It is also a fact that hundreds of Turks
were brought over from the Asiatic Bide
of the Bosphorous in order to take part
in tbe massacres, and many Armenians
were put into boats which were then
taken out to sea. Their fate is un
known, but there is not the slightest
doubt that they have been drowned. Al
though it may be true that the attack on
the Ottoman bank originated with the
Armenian revolutionary commission, it
is admitted on all sides that the massa
cres which followed were not justified,
and that 30,000 to 40,000 people lost their
lives in this city or in the suburbs dur
ing the past week.
DEATH Of CAPTAIN CRAWFORD.
The Poet Scout Accidentally Killed
While Mining-
Seattle, Sept. I. News reached this
city today of tbe accidental death at
the Blewett gold mines near Blewett,
Kittitas county, Friday evening of
Captain Jack Crawford, who claimed
to be the original poet scout. An ac
cident took place in what is commoniy
called the hydraulic claims, located a
short distance below Negro creek.
Crawford had been piping against a
bank and had stepped upon a small
elevation to see what effect the water
was having on the bank. A rock fell
out of . tbe bank, striking him on the
breast. He was thrown backward and
fell down a hill eight or ten fest, strik
ing on the back of bis head among the
rocks. He died instantly. Whether the
claim of Craword to the title of the
"poet scout" was founded on fact or was
claimed on account of resemblance, real
or fancied of the famous rover, remains
to be seen. - It is said that Crawford
served in tbe United States army and
was one of Custer's scouts. This piob-
ably explains his claim to being the
original Jack Crawford.
ENGLISH INTERESTS IN OREGON.
Rothschilds Purchase a Gronp of Mines
Near Eugene.
San Francisco, Sept. I. The Roths
childs, through the Exploration com
pany of London, have turned their at
. tention to gold mining in Southern
Oregon. They' have purchased a group
of three quartz mines in what is termed
the Lucky Boy, in Blue river mining
district, near Eugene. This is a new
camp in which between forty and fifty
locations have been made. Gold is of
the free milling sort. The camp is 45
miles irom Eugene, and 40 miles of the
distance is traveled by wagon road and
live miles by rail. The final papers have
just been put in shape and George S.
Baum, formerly superintendent of the
Omaha mine, in Nevada county, accom
panied by a crew of men from Grass
Valley have gone to the scene. They are
to make a thorough investigation and
development of the property.
JL Terrific Explosion.
Pinole, Cal.; Sept. 1. A terrible ex
plosion, occurred - at Hercules 'station,
where the California powder works were
blown up. Four terrific explosions were
heard in succession and tbe sky in the
"vicinity is black with smoke.
All the buildings of the company are
on fire and the ground in the vicinity is
rent by, immense fissures. All the prop
erty of the California powder works will
be a total loss. So far as known at this
hour, thirty minutes after the explosion,
three whites , have been killed. ' There
has been other loss of life, how extensive
cannot yet be stated.

Hugh Wallace Starts a Boom for OroTCr
.Cleveland.
Indianapolis, Sept. 1. Delegates to
the national eold Democratic convention
came in at a lively rate last night and
this morning. They are bringing a
throng of visitors in their wake. Indi
cations point to as large an attendance
as was anticipated. The boom for the
nomination of Cleveland, . which was
started last night by Hugh Wallace of
Washington is being discouraged by the
president's friends, who say he would
not accept. Comptroller of the Cur
rency Eckels favors Vilas' nomination.
A disposition is developing in the East,
which is considered safe for gold, to al
low the Middle, Western and doubtful
border states to select the candidates.
A majority of the Iowa, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Tennessee, and Alabama delega
tions seem' to be. for Watterson, who
eeems . to have an undoubted lead.
Should the nomination go to Watterson,
a Northern man will be named for vice
president, probably Bragg of Wisconsin,
Judge Morgan of Chicago, or David Law
ler of Minnesota. . '

Green Mountain Bays Stand by. Re
publican. Principles. '
White River Junction, Vt., Sept. 1.
The Green mountain state declared for
Josiah Grout, Republican, of Derby, for
governor today, and for the Republican
state ticket entire, by a majority "' that
equalled the prediction of the most con
fident Republican managers. Returns
from the distant towns are, as usual,
rather slow in coming in, but the count
in all sections shows substantial Repub
lican gains, indicating that the majority
for the Republican state ticket will be
about 30,000. . This is the' largest major
ity ever given for governor in this state,
the nearest approach to it being in 1894,
when the majority was 2(5,521.
. The Republican leaders tonight claim
the majority may reach 35,000 and even
37,000.
Speech at Stayton by M. C. George.
Stayton, Sept.' 1. The campaign was
opened in earnest by the Republicans
here tonight. . An address -delivered
by Hon. ' M. C. George touched
a ' patriotic chord and aroused Re
publicans to a sense of responsibility.
They reckon without their host who
think McKinley and Hobart will not
poll a big vote in this part of Marion
county. ' " '.

"Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent

Nothing is so unpleasant, nothing so common, as

CONSTIPATIOX ;
' SHOULD not be regarded as "
a trifling ailment in fact, nature ' ' i
demands the utmost regularity of ' 1 s
the bowels, and any deviation
- from this demand paves the way
- often to serious danger. It is
- quite as necessary to remove
impure accumulations from the - -' -bowels
as it is to eat or sleep, and ,
no health can be expected where
a costive habit of body prevails. -
SICK HEADACHEf !
Tb b distressing affliction occurs most frequently'.
The disturbance of :he stomach, arising from tn
imperfectly digested contents, causes a severe pain in
the head, accompanied wilh disagreeable nausea, and
this constitutes what is popularly known as Sick
Headache, for the relief of which take Simmon
Liver Regulator or Medicine.
