Religious RiOting in Constantinople.

CoNsTANT1NoPLE, July 30.-A large crowd
of Armenians gathered in the Armenian
cathedral in this city for the purpose of re-
nonstrating with the patriarch of the church
for his weak action toward the porte regard
ing the outrages perpetrated by Turks in
Armenia and to demand his resignation.
One of the crowd mounted a chair in the
cathedral and demanded that the patriarch
explain the events that had occurred at
Erzeroum, and the position of affairs in
Armenia. The patriarch protested against
the action of the mob. and declared that the
sacred edifce was no place for such demon
stration.
This answer to their demands exasperated
the mob and they rushed upon the patriarch.
dragged him from the pulpit and otherwise
maltreated him. After being very roughly
treated the patriarch succeeded in breaking
loose from his assailants and made his escape
from the cathedral. Military assistance was
asked for to quell the disturbance. A body
of Turkish troops was sent 20 restore order,
but when they entered the cathedral and
tried to clear the building they met with des-
perate resistance. The mob was armed with
revolvers and spiked slaves and a bloody
conflict ensued between them and the troops.
Four of the soldiers and three of the rioters
we're killed and others injured before the
mob was driven from the building. The
cathedral Is now closed.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 29.-The report
of the house committee on postoffices anc
post roads, to accompany the substitute anti
lottery bill agreed upon, has been filed. The
committee says that the present legislation
is inadequate and moro forcible laws must
be enacted to prevent the use of the mails by
lottery companies. One of the main bene-
fits to be derived from the substitute bill, il
it shall become law, is that which makes
the act of mailing lottery letters and circu-
lars continuous offense. Trials may be by
the court in any jurisdiction through which
they may pass, or into which they may go.
Convictions under the existing law, even
where the proofs can be procured, are not
only difficult, but are believed to be next to
impossible in the state of Louisiana, where
the bulk of the lottery company's mail is
deposited. owing to the extended and diver
sifed power of the company, which, it is
claimed, reaches juries and defeats the ends
of justice. The greater benefit, if possible,
will be the closing of the mails to newspapers
which contain lottery advertisements and lists
of prizes, thus partially cutting on communi-
cation between the lottery and its customers,
and reducing the number of its victims. The
substitute bill, the committee says. proposes
to cure the defects in the existing law by
means of which letters intended for the lot
terry company reach their destination through
\ third person or agent.

Guatemala in = Rad War

GUATEMALA, July 30.-A revolt led by
General Manual Beteta and Colonel Salvador
Arevais against President Barrillas and his
cabinet has broken out here. The police
in the capital has been increased from 300 to
500 men. Armed soldiers have paraded the
streets both night and day since Friday after
noon at 4 O'Clock. Saturday morning a
number of soldiers refused duty, as they had
not been paid. Over $50 were marched off
to prison:
military, and the great fear now is that the
latter will make common cause with the
revolutonists.
The presidents house is strongly guarded,
no one being allowed in the vicinity except
well known persons. The revoluhonlsts are
gaining power every moment.
The members of President Barrillas' cabi-
net has counseled him to suspend hostilities
with Salvador and turn his attention to
Guatemala.
President Barrillas wants to assume the
leadership of his troops against Salvador.
but owing to the unsettled condition of
affairs here he has abandoned the idea of
leaving the capital.
President Barrillas has issued decree de-
clarlng the whole republic in a state of seige
and suspendlng the constitutional guaran-
tees. There is considerable excitement IN
the capital, as it is said that the Salvador
troops are within sixty miles of Guatemala
City, and constantly being reinforced. There
are two sections of the Salvador army now
in Guatemala, one in the section of Jutiapa.
and the other in the department of Santa
Rosa.
All payments by the Guatemalan national
treasury have been peremptOrily stopped.
The military are forty-five days in arrears of
pay, and funds are sadly needed. Several of
the foreign and native merchants have ad-
vanced sums of money to the government,
receiving in exchange custom house receipts,
which are to be accepted in payment of 80
per cent. of import duties on foreign mer-
chandise.

ticket in the field and organizing as
an Independent political party. Alex
Latter, democrat, reelected president;
John kenner, republican, vice president;
J. R. Steele, democrat, secretary.
Owing to the time consumed in other
business before the house, the county
ticket question was deferred until the
next meeting. Several members in
formed us that they believed the alli-
ance would not put out county ticket.
From Independence: This city was
filled yesterday with monster meeting
of the farmers alliance of this and ad-
Joining counties. The crowd was by

The procession, which formed on Main
street, was nesr,y one and half hours
passing a given point Upon reaching

Topeka Journal: There is said to be
controversy between the Santa Fe
and the old Frisco arrangements re-
gardIng the control of the coal proper
ties owned by the Frisco company
along its line in Missouri and Kansas.
The Santa Fe claims that the coal
mines were part of the property of
the company and were purchased with

ment denies this and refuses to turn
over the mines. The matter will
probably have to DO adjusted by the
courts.
