THE SULTAN ALARMED AT AR
MENIAN DISCLOSURES.
Fears the Eject of an Independent Re-
port-Viceroy Of Nankin Preparing
for Defense-Many Houses Burn at
Port-au-Prince.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Dec. 1.-THE
Sultan has not acquiesced in the mis-
sion of Consul Milo Jewett, who was
selected by President Cleveland to in.
quire into and report upon the Turk
ish outrages in Armenia. The Sultan
appears to fear the effect of an
independent report to the Washing
ton government.
Sir Philip Currie, the British ambas-
sador to Turkey, is in very active COM
munication withsst the porte and the for
eign embassies. 1t is believed with
good reason he is pressing the porte to
adopt some measure that will satisfy
the outraged public opinion of Europe.
The porte is completely alive to the
gravity of the situation and seems to
fear either collective note from the
powers or an agreement between Rus
STA and Great Britain for a Russian oc-
cupation of Armenia.

For the second time within month
Frank C. Ives has defeated Jacob
Shaeffer in six-days' billiard match
of 5000 points The match took place
at Chicago and Shaeffer made only
1881 points while Ives was making his
5000.
The horribly mutilated body of a
man, damned into a shipping case and
hidden under sidewalk, was found in
Chicago few days since. Investiga-
ton proved that it was that of A. ID.
Barnes, japitor of the Hiawatha build
ing. Search of the basement of that
building showed that the murder had
taken place there, blood being smeared
over many things and the axe with
which the crime was committed being
discovered. Robbery is supposed to
have been the motive, and the assist
ant janitor has been arrested.
The brutal murder of A. d. Barnes,
janitor of the Hiawatha building at
Chicago, was committed by Edward
Jordan, the assistant janitor, who has
confessed. He says Barnes and himself
had quarrel over a missing bolt and
he killed Barnes in self-defense.
Charges are made that illegal New
York City bonds to the extent of $15,-
OOo,o 900 were issued during the Tweed
regime and that the affair has been
successfully hidden by the comptrol-
lers office ever since. An investiga-
ton will take place.

Captain Kolb, the populist who
claims to be governor of alabama. has
issued message to the legislature and
the people. The most important mat
ters are that he urges the Legislature
to enact election contest laws, and
urges the tax collectors to delay col
lection of taxes as long as possible, in
order to keep money out of the hands
of what he claims is the illegal admin
istration. AS the tax collectors in
thirty-eight of the sixty-one counties
are Kolbites it is seen that he may be
supported by them and that serious
trouble NAV result.

The Women Know Best.

Much comment has been caused by
the official reports of the United States
and Canadian governments, in which
are presented the evidences of the su-
perior strength, purity and wholesome
ness of the Royal Baking Powder.
1t is true that the good housewife
looks upon Communications of the Royal
Baking Powder from scientists and
official sources such as these very much
like 1.-The gliding of refined gold" Her
practical experience long since taught
her in the most convincing way the
great usefulness and superiority of the
Royal article. A higher proof than
this she does not want and cannot have.
Yet it is pleasant for her to realize
that the facts established by these
great competitive tests, these scientific
examinations made under direction of
the Government, exactly parallel those
she had before worked out in her own
common-sense practical way.
1t does not appear that any baking
powder, when presented in competi-
ton with the Royal, either at the Gov
eminent tests or before Worlds Fair
juries, has ever received favor or award
over the Royal or made an equal show
ing in purity, strength or wholesome.

Guatemalan Guerrillas Attack q Com


pany of Diaz Soldiers.
MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Dec. 10.-The
latest reports from the Guatemala
frontier are of more serious character
than any which have before reached
the capital. 1t is claimed that the
Guatemalans have assassinated a
Mexican colonel, member of the staff
of Gen Luliane, and from unofficial
socurces it is reported that company
of the Nineteenth Battalion of the
Mexican forces has had two engage
ments with force of 400 Guatemalan
guerrelas. The first assault on the
Mexican troops was harmless Skin
mish, but the second resulted in two
Mexican soldiers being killed.
The Guatemalans retreated hastily,
and it is not known that they suf-
fered any material damage. This
particular body of mounted Guatema-
lans is reported as still lowering about
the vicinity of the Mexican troops, but
it is believed that after making the az
tack they retired to the Guatemalan
side of the international line. Should
official information confirm these re-
ports, it is highly probable the Next
can government will at once demand
reparation in satisfactory manner for
the outrage.

accition to heavy local dues, as in time
of trouble the officers have taken sides
with the company and they sanctioned
the discharge of men on account of

For the Pardon of Armenians.

VIENNA, Dec. IL Trustworthy Con-
stantinople advices here show that the
Turkish minister of justice has invited
Hymayak, locum tenens of the Ar
meuian Patriarchate, to petition the
Sultan to pardon 233 Armenians who
are lying untried in provincial prisons.
No reply has been received to the in
vitation yet, and it is likely to be de-
clined, as in seeking the pardon of the
prisoners it would be necessary to de-
scribe them as rebels.

FRAUDS IN THE IRON RANGE.
Mining Companies and Wisconsin Coun-
ties Said to BE the Victims.


GREEN BAY, Wis, Dec. 1o-The
Gazette yesterday published an inn
portant interview with prominent
contractor, who tells of stealings and
robberies that, he says, were and are
being perpetrated by many bosses and
superintendent of mines in the iron
country, particularly the Menominee
range. He cites many instances where
costly machinery was ordered for the
mines and paid for by the owners of
them, while the machinery and other
supplies never left the factories.
Thousands of dollars, he asserts, have
thus bean stolen from the mine owners
and stockholders. This man further
makes interesting disclosures as re-
gard the manner in which the
financial affairs of some of the
counties in the iron region
are being run. He tells of one gang
of county officials in Florence county
who were in the habit of issuing ficti-
tious county orders and dividing the
moneys among themselves No names
are published in the interview, but it
is alleged the amount of money of
which the iron mining companies on
the range and Florence and Marinette
counties have been defrauded will
amount to over $500, 900.

CORONER DREAMER BLAMED.
Mrs..Ehlen Says 1t Is His Fault Her
Babes Are Hungry.

Mrs. Matilda Ehlen, OF 1921 Broadway,

il In destitute circumstances, was bitter
to-day in her denunciation OF Coroner
Creamer's neglect to hold an inquest
over the death of her husband, VIII.
lam, who was killed by a Long Island

across the Atlantic venue Railroad
track on the day stated. when he was
struck by a train Of cars and killed
instantly.
Mrs. ,Ehlen afterwards applied to the
railroad, company for assistance. The
railroad, authorities told her that noth'
Ing coukl be done towards a settlement
until Coroner Dreamer had held an In
quest.
Since that time Mrs. Ehlen has waited
patiently for Coroner Creamer to take
some action on her husbands death. She
managed to earn enough to buy food
for herself and little ones by taking In
make only s. a week, Of which s1.5C
goes for the rent OF their rooms.
About a month ago Mrs. Ehlen says
she called on Coroner Dreamer, and
urged him to hold the inquest at once,
She said she did not understand why he
had delayed so long. Coroner Dreamer
told her that the case would have tc
wait for It's turn on the calendar.
