MORi DANGER IN TURKEY Orders of the Turkish Government May Result In Massacre of Nestorian Christians. London. June 10. A special from Bhang. hal says that lit la almost certain thai a massacre of all the persons connected with the English, French and American missions at Cheng Tu has occurred. Neither men, women or children . have been spared, according; to the report. It is admitted that telegrams have been intercepted by. the government, the ob.

Julfa, Pergla, May 7. (Copyrighted, 1895 by Associated Press Special Correspond ence.) The Turkish government, it to claimed, has Just taken the preliminary steps in what may. result In a massacre of Nestorian Christians In the mountains of- Kurdistan. It' Is asserted that the government has given orders to starve thij Independent tribes of Nestorlans in the mountain region lying Immediately west of Gawar, which may be described as lying about midway between Mosul and Lake Van, about 50 miles west ot the Persian frontier. Th'j orders, (t is stated, are that no food supplies of any kind shall be allowed to enter the terri tory of the Independent tribes, and meas ures are said to have been taken to en force these orders to the tetter. This action Is apparently taken as a means of compelling the independent tribes to submit to the Turklst author, ities and to pay the tax. a demanded by the government, and is regarded as the first ser.ous attempt that the Turk have made to extort taxes from the in. dependent tribes. From the earliest time in the history of the Ottoman Empire these tribes hav been Independent of Turkish rule. They have paid no taxes and they have ac knowledged no allegiance to the Turkish government. The present course of the government is taken in some quarters as an indica tion that the sultan has set on foot a systematic persecution of Christians In all parte of the empire. The sultan has plenty of opportunity for knowing thai the independent Nestorlans are too poor to pay taxi's, and that many of th-em make a living by going d'own into the vll. lagea of the other wretdhedly poor coun trymen and begging. These poor crea tures, according to the sliory, are to be starved because they will not share with the sultan of Turkey the scraps of bread the refuse bits of meat, and the odds and ends which they obtain by begging. Their homes are in a wilderness of mountain peakes and narrow, rocky valleys, where nothing will grow except a tuft of broom corn here and there In the crevCce of the rocks on the mountain Kidi.s, and a few stocks of millet in a casual square yarks of soli In the valleys. It is mot difficult to forecast the prob able result of the starvation of this rac; of beggars, should the report turn out to be correct. Driven desperate by hun ger, the people will encteavor to obtain food from Gawar, and other outside dls. trlcts, and there will be fight with tho Turkish troops ; the villages will be at. tacked and some of the wretched people killed, and no man can prophesy where the persecution will end. I have Just returned from a rapid Jour ney to the Kurdish mountains for the purpose of Investigating the report that fourteen' villages had been attacked and devastated by a raid of the Kurds last week. The original rumlar had it that the Kurds had massacred many Chris tians and had carried off the women and girls to the mountains. After riding day and night to reach the scene of the raid, I at length arrived at the Mergulv.r valley, which lies like the bottom of a boat beneath huge mountains covered from base to summit with almost un broken expanses of snow. It was in this valley that the raid took plac;. It is said a band of Kurds from the moun tains had indeed raided fourteen villages in (this valley, but the raid was directed against other Kurd's, and not against Christians. There were a few Nestorian Christians living in the valley, but they were not molested in any way. As this was not a race or religious raid. It will probably have little Interest outside of' 'the valley. I regret to iy that Mr. Paton, the British consul-general in- British Persia, Is very much In disfavor with the gen tlemen who are conducting the Armenian revolutionary movements. In Iplte of the fact that Mr. Paton has been coll'ectlng evidence of the Basra oun and Moosh mas. sacres for the use of the- British gov ernment, Armenians look upon him .s a spy. They may go to the length of do ing him bodily harm. The closing of the caravan routes to Van has rendered more acute the suffer. lng from famine in the devastated 31 s- trldts near Van. The only hope of relief is now cut on. LATEST FROM HAWAII. Annexation Is the Favored Idea of All Classes. Omaha. .TnnA 1o..Mafor ifAFtim.. tii.- ley, of Cedar Rapids, la., ia en route from Hawaii.

"Ves, I think that If the United States docs not take control of these Islands during the course- of the next adminis tration, Japan will. But I think that the Hawalla-ne realize the complexity of the problem and are in favor of coming in as a territory and not as a state.- President Dole, of the republic, told me that he is in favor of annexation, as the republic must have the support of a strong power and many of the most prominent royalists are also, Including Cummirrgs, the leader of the rebellion who is now under $30,000 bonds, and the English guardian of Prin cess Kaaluiani, who has been a pronounc ed royalist, has lately expressed himself to the, effect that annexation is the only salvation for the islanders, In the Unit: ed States wo have many Hawaiian exiles. They are unanimously In favor of annex ation, as It would result in (he restora. tlon of their rlgihts." - , MOOSH COMMISSION DISSOLVED. Constantinople, June 10. Advices from Moosh say that the Moosh commission has practically dissolved. The English consul, Just appointed at Bltlls, has been Instructed to go to Moosh before the com rruseion leaves, as the Armenians fear a resumption of the attacks if there is no person at Moosh to represent the powers. Additional reports received Indicate the Moosh commission was closed Friday, so far as the work of the European delega tion is concerned. They were compelled to tell the Turkish delegates that th.y would have nothing .more to .do .with them. From the first the attitude of the Turks has been invariably and unceasing ly dishonest. According to the statements of those Interested in the workings of the commission the representatives of the sultan have not manifested honor, trutn nor decency. They have made no effort to determine the cause ot the outrages in Armenia. The rupture between the Turkish, and European commission was caused by the refusal of 'the Turks, on purely farcical grounds, to hear important w.tness.s on matters pertaining to questions at tssus, It was evident the Turks were afraid the tissue of falsehoods that they have thrown around the situation in Armenia would he broken down. The European commlss.oners will call the report of the Turks into question for purposes of as certainlng whether the high ductals ot any state claiming to be olvllized ever have taken thw position assumed by tho Turks during the meetings of this com mission, It is only fair to say that their every action has been prompted, and sanctioned or ratified d.rectly by the highest authorities. , CHANGES IN THE TURKISH MINIS TRY. Constantinople, June 10. Turkhan Pa. aha, loite ere be, has been appointed mln later of foreign affairs. Turkhan Pasha has been mentioned as a probable ap pointee of the sultan to the position of governor-general of Armenia. London, Jume 10. The Standard com. ments editorially upon the reported dis missal of General Djedad Pasha from the post of grand vlzer and the! appointment of Turkhan Pasiha to succeed Eald Pasha as mlnlstier of foreign affairs of Turkey, The Standard says this indicates a more favorable attitude on the part of the sul. tan toward reforming the Armenian proV.nees. -. EXHAUSTING THEIR PATIENCE. OiIasa, June 10. Novostl, on of the leading newspapers, says the stupidity of the porte Is exhausting 'the patlenca of the powers. It will ultimately result In forcing the signers of the Berlin treaty to strip Turkey of all Jurisdiction over Armenia, and thus prevent- further out rages. MANY REPORTED KILLED. Constainillnople, June 10. Aeports have been received that serious trouble has occurred In Mohhoul. Rumors that many persons have been killed have b.en cir culated, but It la impossible to verify these statements. A POLISH FOR TAN SHOES. Ladles Home Journal. r Now that tan colored sho; are so much worn a hint as to how they may be pre, served Indefinitely may not be amiss. A clever little .woman of my acquaintance had a handsome pair of very light yellow low bottomed shoe that were ruined as far as apearances went, Her husband was to bring her some dressing, but he would not return until night and she wanted to wear them after lunch. She put her wits to. work; wet a soft muslin rag with water Into which a few drops of household ammonia had been poured, rubbed It with a little Castile soap and applied it first to the bick of the shoe, It worked admirably. The entire shoe was thoroughly cleaned In five minutes. She kept her hand inside the shoe, to hold it in shape, and was careful not to wet the rag so much as to soak through th leather to the lining, and also to rinse off well before drying. While damp she smoothed them Into fine- form, then stood them away for half an hour to dry. Then sha took a soft flannel rag and rubbed them well over for a minute or two. This gave them a natural gloss. She has worn these shoes for six weeks, cleaning" them in this way three or four tlm:s a week, and they are as soft and pliable and pre sentable as the day she bought them. A NEW CUNATtD FREIGHTER. From the Boston Herald. The new twin screw freight steamer Sylvania, of the Cunard Steamship com pany, should arrive tonight. She was ten days out last rdght, and in view of her large power a much faster trip was an. tleipated. ' The new craft was built by the Lon don and Glasgow Engineering and Iron Shipbuilding company. She Is 40 leel long over all, 49 feet beam, 42 feet ( Inches deep from shelter deck, and carries 6,500 tons dead weight. There- are nin watertight bulkheads, with twenty-four compartments, for water ballast, and part of the double bottom under the en gines may be -utilized for carrying re. serve fresh water for cattle or boiler use. The bulkheads are so arranged that any two compartments, end in some cas e more, may be bilged, anil the vessel still keep afloat. The vessel Is lighted by elec tricity. The two sets of triple expansion engines have cylinders 22 Inches, X inches and 0 iches in diameter, by 48 inches stroke, and two targe double-ended boilers, fitted with forced draft. The pro pellers have bronse blades, and the shaft ing is of Vicker's steel. The vessel on her trial showed a speed of fifteen and three-fourths knots. The name of the steamship Bylvanla Is derived from the original cume of the Sule of Pennsylvania. WORK TO COM The Capitalists Arrive in Se attle From St. Louis. SEATTLE'8 PLUCK ' PRAISED Astoria May Make the Same Becord The .Unity of Action Will Do It. i - Seattle has established her reputation for enterprise, and the peopta at large know It. The rapid work done In raising the subsidy for the canal that Is to glvs them a fresh water harbor has had its reward The representatives of the St. Louis capitalists who are to furnish the money for the construction of the South canul and the liliing In of the tide Hats arrived in that City yesterday and stated without equivocation that the money was ail at hand to carry out the great enterprise, thu't the subsidy had been accepted and that the. work would be pushed forward without interruption. The gentlemen in question are Edar Ames and George paschal, tne latter beUig accompanied by aii-8. 1-ascnal, and tney wl.l be tne local representatives of the St. Louis Interest In tne Scuttle and Lake Wasnlugton waterway company, the 'former as gen. era! manager and trustee and thw latter as trustee and secretary, , while Henry eeinp.e Ames w.ll be vice prvsider.it and edb'urn tiuuiiclal agent. Mr. Ames said to a P.

Tne St. Louis peo ple insist that the whoie scheme be car. rkd out; the canal has got to bS built and all of the tide lands mieTwnlch are covered by our contracts. It Is all part" or -onw general scneme. "The people of St. Louis are very much interested In th.s country and la the city of Seattle particularly, Tne commutes which came here last February was unanimous in the opinion that this is the Strongest city on the coast, 'and that. Its citizens were men of push - and energy, Unt.l this' proposition, was suggested to our people, they knew very ' little of Se attle, but now everybody Is talking of It; all the traveling men wo-met on the train spoke highly of this city as a good point for business. There will be quit a number of St. Louis people here this summer, both to see Seattle and to go to Alaska." "The Northern Pacific Is extremely friendly to this undertaking, Is very much interested In the city and will closely watch the progress of the work. The carrying out of this work will unques tionably result in a great Improvement of railroad terminals . here, and that Is the reason why the railroads are - keep ing an eye on It. The management ot the Northern Pacific is anxious to re move the feeling which has existed In Seattle against the road, and with that end In view Is giving Seattle equal facil ities with any ot-lvr city. "A good deal of money Is accumulating In St. Louis, and a number of large en terprises are being financed there. The banks are strong, and the people are looking for outside investments.', The difference between the method em ployed In S.attle, In accomplishing large business enterprises, and that used In. a certain city not a hundred miles from Astoria, Is painfully apparent. The unity of action and harmonious, blending of all the diversified interests of a large community In a common channel for the berellt of all, each giving of his means and time In proportion to his ability, from the bootblack to the " banker, Is what made Seattle, successful, and will always make any community successful. A young lady of Knappa addressed a letter to Mr. Stewart of the outs.de right of way committee, In which she says that they have already given the right of way, 100 feet wide, to the railroad, and asks how things are-progressing. She further says that If there is any chfflculty In closing matters up, that they are per ffctly willing to help out to the extent of their ability; that they have a fine Holsteln cow which they are willing to put up to help secure the right of way. She also states - that she has read In the papers about the action of the Seattle people in securing the subsidy for the construction of the canal which Is to give them a fresh water harbor and how everybody there stood in together for th geneiul good and that . she deduced the moral, "boom." Astoria can yet have the world admire her enterprise and prosper ity., but the breaches must be closed up and all alms and objects dropped ex cept tne one all-important one of having 1 all things ready for the builder of the' railroad when he ahull come.

Hemlock hitherto con. sldered worthless for any purpose, will now take rank with Cottonwood or spruce as a pulp material. Millions of feet of hemlock are easily obtainable In this section. The Hon.

A SAMPLE LOT. The Poor Man Who Wants a Flft-cent , Dollar. - Speaking of the work of the late con vention of republican clubs, at Portland, the Tillamook advocate says: It must have been a sight to chier the prpulistlc heart when those renowned poor men, D. P. Thompson, director of twenty banks, Jonathan Bournu and Van Dclashmutt, With their great silver mines, and J. B. Montgomery, with his Immense pay-roll of laborers in the mills and log ging camps led on the' howling forces for cheap dollars for poor men. They made the air resound with their premature shouts of victory. They really seemed to think they had secured a 60-cent dollar to pay poor men's wages with and for the poor mat to buy his food and cloth In with, while the rich man's gold dollar would go twice as far. . But when- the votes were counted and it was found that the clubs of Oregon were overwhelming In favor of maintaining the silver dollar at Its full vulue, as the republican party has ever been, the cheap money crowd collapsed. Their leaders have had noth ing to say on the subject since, and the deluded followers of a few spectators and mln owners are wondering "where they are at." ?T .. - . -.-v -- 1 t ' , , aVa V...' W u
