Turkish Troops Refuse to Aid in the Restoration of Order. London, Sept. 8. The correspondent of the Times, at Canda, telegraphing on Wenesday, fully confirms earlier reports of most serious events. Lieutenant Haldad was killed and Lieutenant Seagraye wounded. The soldiers pluckily carried Lieutenant Haldad's body to a boat, under a bail of bullets. The telegraph office was re peatedly set on fire, and the father of the telegraph superintendent was killed. Worse is feared. - As to the fate of the majority of the christians, it is reported that only 259 have been saved out of over 1000. The situation was extremely difficult. The Turkish troops refused to aid the British, and there being exceedingly few of the latter in the town, they were soon overpowered. 1 Forty wounded were at tended to by the warships. Mohammedans are pillaging- Canda. Edhem Pasha, the governor, declares the mob is uncontrolable. - As -the dis patch goes, reinforcements aro arriving on the Italian flagship Francesco Moro eini. The correspondent later says : Refugees are now coming on board the Camperdown, many of them wounded. They tell a tale of great massacre. UNITED STATES A NAVAL POWER Achievements of Our Ships Will Prob ably Bring Foreign Contracts to this Country, According to I. M. Scott's Opinion. New York, Sept. 8. Irving M. Scott, of San Francisco, vice-president and gen eral manager of the Union Iron Works, at which the Oregon was built, arrived from Europe on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and went to the Hollann bonse. Mr. Scott said he went to RusBia to farther American interests on the east ern coast of Siberia, and incidentally to crack up the performances of American built ships of war. "Russia," be continued, "is under going marvelous industrial develop- ments in every direction. Railroads are being built and manufacturing ia ad vancing rapidly. "A great field of American industry is opening, particularly on the Pacific coast near the terminals of the n -. railway. Merchant vessels are in m ind, and iron and steel will be needc. Hod it was to get our share of this tradf more than anything else that I went abroad. My visit, I think, will reEult in our getting contracts for some of the new warships which are to be constructed for the Rus sian government. Our naval victory at Santiago was an eye-opener to all Europe. There had been a great deal of skepticism before the war about our navy, and the experts were inclined to think our shipbuilding in the experimental stage.' The cruise of the Oregen was an object lesson to all the world in what a battleship can do, and now everyone recognizes our war ships as of the best. No such perform ances have been dreamed of abroad, and the prestige of our navy rose to the highest point. There was a keen in terest taken in everything we did, going into details. "The destruction of the torpedo-boats was the cause of a revision of all foreign naval programs. Tbe battleship . was elevated to the place and importance it deserves, and much doubt was thrown on the utility of the torpedo-boats. In conseqnence all the powers have cur tailed their outlay for these crafts and are doing more for heavily armed and armored vessels." Mr. Scott will spend a week or ten days in the city. During bis etay he will visit his masterpiece, the Oregon, at the navy yard. ATTEMPT TO KILL THE CZAR Moscow Buildings Was to Have Been Blown up While the Royal Par ty Was Passing Two Killed, Many Injured. Kkw Yoek, Sept. 8. A World dis patch from London says : A report is published here of a daring plot to assassinate the czar at Moscow last week. The plan of the conspirators was to allow gas to escape into a house on the route of the czar's procession un til the atmosphere in every room was saturated. One of their number was to remain in the bouse and strike a light when the czar was passing in tbe ex pectation that the house would be blown to pieces and tbe czar killed. The conspirator would perish himself as a sacrifice to the cause. This duty fell to the lot of one Alex ander Kolanoff. In his agitation be seems to have made an error, as the explosion was mistimed. When it oc- cured a staff officer and his wife were driving past, and they, instead of the czar were killed. Their coachman will die of bis injuries, and about thirty persons were more or less injured. KolanofTs mangled body was fonnd among the rains. The czar and czarina drove by 25 minutes later. Many arrests have been made in Mos cow, but the Russian press has been for bidden to refer to the matter. ' MADRID GOVERN MENT IS ISOLATED Chambers Opposed to its Policy in Regard to the Conclusion of Peace. Madbid, Sept. 8. Newspapers assert that the government is surprised and chagrined at the attitude of the con servatives of the chamber, which indi cates that the government is isolated on questions of such magnitude as the con clusion of tbe peace treaty. Continuing, tbe papers rx press the opinion that this foreshadows the downfall of the ministry. The chamber does not meet today. The cabinet this morning decided to take tbe most stringent measures to prevent tbe publication of the pro ceedings of the cortes and to provide for a censorship of telegraphic dispatches. AN ATTEMPT TO ASCERTAIN THE TRUTH Investigation of War De partment May be Made. ALGER HAS REQUESTED IT And is Joined by Adjutant General Cor bin The President Has Not Yet Come to Any Decision in Regard to the Matter. Washington, Sept. 8 Secretary Al ger has requested the president to order a thorough and searching investigation of the war department. In this request the secretary had been jorned by Adju tant-General Corbin. No decision has been reached yet by the president as to what course be will pursue. He has the request of Secretary Alger under con sideration, but has not yet determined whether he will grant it or not. Secre tary Alger had a long conference with tbe president tonight, before be left the city, and impressed upon him bis earnest desire that an investigation, such as he had requested, be ordered. It now seems not unlikely that the in vestigation will be ordered, but it is the wish of the president further to con sider the matter before announcing a definite policy. The question probably will receive consideration at the cabinet meeting tomorrow. Mr. M'Guire's Fish. San Fbancisco, Sept. 8. Several sal mon, averaging 28 pounds in weight, have recently been caught in the Sacra mento river. From tbe fact that the adipose fin had been removed from each they were identified as fish liberated from the hatcheries on the Claskamus river, in Oregon, in 1897. This discovery is eaid to refute the theory of Doctors Jordan and Gilbert, who have maintained that salmon re main from three to four years in the sea before reaching tbeir majority, and then return to fresh waters to spawn. Beats tne Elondlca Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville.Tex., has found a more valuable discovery than has yet been made in the Klondike. For years be suffered untold agony from consumption, accompained by bemmor rhages; and was absolutely cured by Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion, Coughs and Colds. He declares that gold is of little value in comparison with this marvelous cure ; would have it, even if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle. Asthma, Bronchitis and all throat and lung affections are positively cured by Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion. Trial bottles free at Blakeley & Houghton's drug store.

The populist, democratic and silver repub lican state conventions accomplished but little at this morning's session, ow ing to the fact that the conference com- milt3e on apportionment of the officers was not ready to report.

SICK OR WELL, A RUSH NIGHT AND DAY. The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de Cuba 'Were all neroea Their Heroic Kfforts in Getting; Ammunition and Rations to the Front Saved the Day. P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writing from Sandiago, De Cuba, on July 23d, eaye: "We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops sup. plied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep nt work and keep our health; in fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the in direct saviour of our army, for if the packers bad been unable to work there would have been no way of getting sup plies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My com rad and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine for out pack-train before we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life."
