ConstantinopIs Special, ED,


The state Of affais in the Armenian
provinces of the Porte is far more serious
than the government likes to acknowl-
edge. 1t has been discovered that the in
surrectionary movement is directed from
Tlfils by a committee of Armenian Cen
erals IN the service of Russia, and that its
ramificatiOn extends to all the principal
villages of Asia Minor. The districts of
sawas, Van Bittlis, DiaTbecker and Eze-
ropm are all in a disturbed state, and
quite prepared to take up arms to throw
off the Turkish yoke.
Martial law has been proclaimed at all
these places, and the greatest severity is
exercised toward the unfortunate inbab-
ltants. So far the number OF people ar
rested ON suspicion of being concerned in
tho movement amounts 70 1,2O0. and every
available building is requisitioned to fur
nlsh accommodations for the unusual
number OF prisoners, for whom the ordi-
nary prisons are insufficient.

Increased Wharfage at Havana.

NEW YORK, Jan. PA letter from
Havana says that, upon the urgent solic-
itation of resident merchants and others
interested in the growing commerce OF
that port, the government has granted
permission to all vessels to go to San Fer
nando wharf for disembarking passengers
or discharging merchandise, but the
latter will not be allowed to
remain longer than one day
ON the wharf. This wharf
occupies the wharf length of the Dover
bay, and has heretofore been reserved for
the exclusive use of the government ma
rine and the Madrid authorities have
apparently been very reluctant to grant
the present. concessions.
The Tudor Company, of Boston, which
furnished Havana with ice for y years,
will relinquish the business, owing to
competition by companies here now pro
viding artificial ice.

COTTON TIES.
A Protest Against Increase of the Duty
Thereon.

"A 1TOIesb Against increase OF the Duty
Thereon.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 24.-HOn. Louis
Bush, President of the National Cotton
Exchange, in response to a telegram con-
corning the proposed increase of duty on
cotton ties, has addressed letter to the
Senators and Representatives from the
cotton States, in which he says:
"AllOw me, in the name of the National
Cotton Exchange of America, to appeal
to you in behalf of the cotton interest, and
especially of the colored people of the
South, whose very existence depends upon
the production of this staple, not to in
crease the duty on cotton ties"
Mr.. Bush says that even now, owing to
the bad state of the planting interest, the
depressed condition of trade, the low price
of the commodity and heavy competition
from Bombay, Egypt and other foreign
countries, the people can barely exc out
an existence, and should the duties on
ties be increased it will evitably follow
that many of the poor will be brought to
great distress.
