death reached this city, M. Nelidoff,
Russian ambassador to Turkey and M.
Cambou, French ambassador, waited up
on the Sultan and urged him to delay
confirming the accession of Prince Alb

which would be satisfactory to the Porte.
While the Sultan was hesitating, the

vised the Sultan to promptly recognize
Abbas, declaring that otherwise compli-

difficult to compose. The Sultan there

The Clue Which May Solve the Mystery of
Tena Davis's Death.

Boston, January 12.-The Herald has
learned what it states is the important
clue that led to the arrest of j. A. Tre-
fethen on a charge of numbering Tena
Davis. 1t states that on Sunday last a
citizen of Somerville, whose name is
withheld but whose word can be relied
upon, informed the police that ne was on
the Mystic river, near the drawbridge, in
boat on the evening Of December % at
8 o'clock, the tide being half out. He
heard woman's voice pleading for mer-
CIV on the bridge and heard a mans voice
but in the darkness and drizzling rain
could only distinguish the forms. Names
were called and the Herald's informant
was given to understand that the woman
used the word Bert, by which title Ire
fethen was usually addressed by Tena
Davis. The woman finally began shrek

GRAVES WAS COOL.
Talked Pleasantly while Handcuffed to
Another Prisoner.

CANON CRY, CAL, January 12.-Dr.
Graves arrived here shortly after mid
night last night. He was not alone.
Four other prisoners sentenced for va
rious crimes were taken to the peniten-
tiary at the same time. Dr.. Graves was
securely shackled and was handcuffed to
another prisoner. On the journey from
Denver to this place the doctor displayed
a great deal of nerve, chatting in an un-
concerned manner about things in gen
eral but refusing to talk about his case.
On arriving at the depot here he and his
fellow prisoners were placed in the
prison van and rapidly driven to the
penitentiary, which is about mile from
the railway station.
After entering the doctor was allowed
to spend short time by the fire. He
gradually recovered his composure. A
hurried search of his clothes was made,
but nothing of contraband nature was
found. The warden then unlocked the
handouts which held the doctor and he
was assigned to cell.
DENVER, Col, January 12.-Governor
Routt has expressed himself favorably to
DR.. Graves and it is thought that he will
probably not allow the prisoner to be
hanged.

The Case of william Roberts Against the
Boston g. Maine.

sAco, January 12.-In the Supreme
Court this afternoon, trial was begun i'll
the case of William Roberts VS.. the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad. This was a case
where the plaintiff was crippled for life

from this verdict the defendant appealed
and it's request for new trial was grant
ed by the law court.
William J. Roberts, the plaintiff, was
the first witness. While setting off car
at Pine Point, December s, 1889, he was
smashed between two cars and his hip
bone broken.

crippled condition. He is now able to
do about eight hours work sitting. He
has earned at times since seventy-five
cents per day. He is unable to dress his
right leg, but works his clothes off by
running a cane down and showing his
trousers and stockings off.

More of the Testimony.

WASHINGTON, January 12.-The fol-
lowing extract from testimony received
at the Department Of Justice from Judge
Advocate General Remy at San Francis
co is an illustration of the evidence of
the American sailors. William S. Alex
ander of Boston, oiler, says:
1.-The feeling of the Chilian officers and
population was against the Americans.
If / had been called upon while on shore
to say what ship belonged to, | don't
think I would have said belonged to an
American ship. Sailors and seafaring
men, when they go ashore at Valparaiso,
would generally say that they belonged
to an English ship rather than say that
they belonged to an American ship"
Charles a. Wheeler OF Connecticut,
first officer: "Sailors are generally proud
to own up that they belong to an Aineri-
can shipin any country that | have ever
been i'll, but in Valparaiso they had to
keep that sort of thing quiet when they
went on shore, and say that they be-
longed to an English ship

LIVES SAVED.
Nuns and Pupils Rescued by Firemen in
Montreal.

Montreal, January 12.-Shortly before
II o'clock this morning, fire was discov-
cred in the Academy of st. Louis de Con
zaqua, a large stone building on Sher-
brooke street, near st. Dennis street. The
academy is conducted by the Provident
Nuns, and there are over 300 children in
the institution. The flames spread with
great rapidity, and all the lower portion
of the building was soon in blaze. The
greatest confusion reigned, and the nuns
had great difficulty in preventing panic
The firemen finally succeeded in getting
all the nuns and pupils safely out of the
building. Several of the tirenen were
overcome by smoke and had to be re-
moved to the hospital.

while Present Laws Exist.
DUBLIN, January 12.-The meeting of
the Dublin Corporation yesterday, at
which the question of the adoption of an
address to the Queen, the Prince of
Wales and the Duke of Clarence, on the
occasion of the Dukes approaching we'd
ding, was debated, was remarkable for
the moderate tone which characterized
the discussion. A few years ago such a
proposal as the one made yesterday
would have given rise to the stormiest
kind of a scene. The moderation of the
meeting was probably due chiefly to the
respect entertained by all parties for the
mayor, who, in his opening remarks, ap-
pealed to the majority to give the Con-
servative members a fair hearing. Mr..
Dobson, in moving the address, said that
he was encouraged to do so by the COR
dial manner in which the toast to the
Queens health was responded to at the
recent mayoralty banquet. Mr.. Brown,
in seconding the motion, urged that po-
litical feeling be discarded, and that the
members consider only their loyalty to
the Queen as subjects of her worldwide
empire. Ex-High Sheriff Shanks pro-
posed an amendment, which was second
ed by Alderman Perry and supported by
High Sheriff Gill, that "While the occa-
sion of the Dukes marriage elicits our
hearty good wishes, the council does not
feel justified while exceptional laws are
applied to Ireland, in presenting an adj
dress"
The supporters of the amendment re-
pudiated any idea of disloyalty, and ex-
pressed the hope that when the unjust,
Ireland fs should l be- e repealed pea d. and the the de- e
sire for national parliament acceded to,
addresses of congratulation on such an
occasion might be presented from all
representative bodies in ireland. The
amendment prevailed, and the debate
was at an end.

THEIR ANSWER TO BAILEY.
Bay State Commissioners Make Some Per.
picking Contradictions.

BosToN, January 12.-In their annual
report to the legislature the cattle COM
missioners say that no contagious disease
existed during 1891. Sporadic cases
though large in the aggregate, were but
small per cent of the whole. Tuber-
culosis exists, and the legislature is rec
commended to take measures to prevent
and stamp out the disease. The com
missioners assert that the charges made
by DR.. Bailey; of the Maine cattle com
missioners, against Massachusetts cattle
are untrue. The report says an active
constable, with shot gun, is a preven-
tative for the spread of disease, and rec
ommends his employmentwhen the COM
missioners cannot be Immediately
reached.

Measures of Defence Before the Upper
House Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, January 12. = In the
Senate, today, Mr.. Dolph, from the com
mittee on coast defences, reported bill
for the purchase of sites for fortifca-
tions. The bill to provide for fortifca-
tions and other sea coast defences, was
placed on the calendar. Messrs. Berry
and Chiffon, members of the committee
on coast defences, dissented from the re-
port of the latter bill, which carried
with it an appropriation of $123, 600, 900,
extending over a period Of II years. Mr..
Dolph said the bill was amended in the
committee, and, as reported only car
ried an appropriation of $780, 900,
$40, 900, 900 tosbe available the. first year,
and $4,000, 600 a year for 10 years.
The Senate passed a number of bills,
including one appropriating 1926, 900 for
constructing two United States revenue
cutters for service on the Pacific coast.
This bill gave rise to a long discussion,
involving the question OF the transfer of
the revenue marine service to the Navy
Department, and that of the necessity of
having swift revenue cutters on the Pa
cific coast to prevent smuggling opium
and Cinnamon into the United States.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE Beh-
ring Sea question was before the Cabinet
today. 1t is understood that the case
has taken a favorable turn within the
past few days, and that Secretary Blaine
has been advised by Lord Salisbury that
he will agree to Mr.. Blaine's suggestion
as to the method of selecting three of
the arbitrators from countries which
have no interest in the question at issue.
When these three arbitrators are agreed
upon, there need be no further delay in
deciding upon the personnel of the tri-
bunal, it having already been arranged
that the United States and Great Britain
shall each have the appointment of two
of the other members. Another point
settled is that one of Great Britain rep
resentatives shall be a resident Of Cana
da. The prospects are that one of the
arbitrators on the part of the United
States will be selected from the Republi-
can party and the other from the Demo
cratic party. Edward J. Phelps, ex-min-
lister to England, is mentioned as most
likely to be one OF the arbitrators on the
part of the United States.
