Entire Family Poisoned.

Early this morning Officer Hyde found H. Goldstein and family at No 3S Oak street suffering from severe poi soning. The ambulance was called and the family, consisting of Goldstein, his wife and son, was taken to the hospital. It seems that Goldstein recently placed paris green about the house to kill cock- reaches and some of this got on meat which the family ate at supper last night, thereby causing the poisoning.

"If"' he continued, "there were men like Rustem Pasha around the sultan the problem would not be solved by external action of the advising powers, which Is a clumsy device at the best.

I cannot en- ter into the question why there are none such now. Twenty-Five years ago there were several such. I exhort you to consider that the terrible Armenian problem is quite as much the want of competent men as the want of adequate laws. The mere writing of new provis- ions and fresh decrees cannot supply the place especially in eastern commit mites of governors, knowing how and having the courage and integrity to per- form their duty.

Won by Eanlon.

Galveston, Tex, Nov. 19.--The first heat in the single scull race between Hanlon and Bubear for a purse of $1. GOO and the championship of England was rowed to-day on Dickinson lake and was won by Hanlon, who defeated Bubear by about a length. The race
 was interesting throughout, and was witnessed by 1,500 people. The race is for the best three out of five heats. One heat will be rowed each day during the progress of the coast county fair, which is now on at Dickinson, a little village midway between this city and Houston. The weather was fair to-day and the water smooth, but since the race "a norther" has sprung up and it is probable that no race will be rowed tomorrow. Bubear is the favorite.

DESCRIPTIeN OF THE SCENES 0F
 MASSACRE AND RIOT.

One Thousand Young Men Were Slain by
 the Turks-A Letter From a Young Man
 States That He Was Taken From His Cell
 Four Times Day and Beaten.
 Worcester, Mass, Nov. 19.-Worcester Armenians to-day received a letter writ ten November 4 in the prison of Con- stantinople by Diradoor Hamparsoun, a young man, who left that city two months ago to return to his nativa place, Harpoot, under orders from his physician.
 The letter describes the scenes in Constantinople on September 25 when the massacre and riot took place. The Turks rushed into the prison crying for Mohammed and the religion; "kitl him" and with clubs and knives cut down and beat to death a number of young mon and a woman and child. He says there were 1000 young men under twenty-five years slain. Of spe- cial interest to American Armenians Is the following:
 T was taken from my cell four times day and beaten and cruelty treated was asked to give information con- cerning any secret societies. Nazim Pasha, commissioner of police of Con- stantinople, questioned me personally as follows:
 How many members are there i'm the society to which you belong? HOW many members has the society in Wor- 4l,, A ians in Worcester in national revolu- tionary affairs?"
 HampaTsoun refused to give any in- formation. A day or two later he suc- ceeded in telling his story to the mirl- ister or consul who visited the prison and he promised to get him out As soon as the consul left the Turks hur- ried him from the prison and put him GIT board steamer for home.
 London, Nov. 20.-The Daily News publishes a dispatch from Constantino- pie that the embassies believe that the sultan is doing his utmost to confirm his dispatches to the governors and the commanders of the troops, but the fan- aticism has got beyond his control. The massacres continue and threaten the extinction of all the Christians in Asia Minor.
 The Standards correspondent tele- graphs that the Kurds at Aintab are in open rebellion against the government. Similar news has been received about the tribes to the eastward of Damas- GUS.
 The correspondent adds that the Aus- tralian colony in Constantinople has or ganized a system of defence. A num~ Der of Croats have been armed and aI concerted plan to be followed in casa of an outbreak will be arranged.

Chicago People Wanted Colder Weather and They Have 1t.
 Chicago, Nov. 19.-Many people in this section and west of here have been for many days calling loudly for a change in the weather. They found it when they arose this morning.
 Snow began falling heavily in the far northwest yesterday, and chased along by a. cold wave and high wind came to this section in a hurry. Last evening gave no particular promise of winter, and even at o'clock this morning, only a mild rain was failing. Soon af- ter that hour, however, the cold wind changed the situation and snow and sleet has been coming down since. The streets are covered by over three in- ches of mixed mud and snow, street traffic is hampered and pedestrians are having a terrible time.
 Telegraph and telephone wires are covered with mass of slush and swol- len to four times their usual size. As a result of this storm, telegraphic com munication with the northwest and many points west is seriously inter rupted, wires having been broken and in some places poles pulled down by the strain.
 Trains are delayed on several rail- roads, west and north, the storm hav- ing been most unexpected and of such a nature as to render the pulling of heavy loads very difficult
 From the Manitoba line zero weather is reported. It is rapidly nov ing south and east, and at the present rate will extend over the entire upper lake region, the upper Mississippi and lower Ohio and Missouri valleys during the next tWenty-four hours,

This legislation is imperatively de- manded. No nation can hope to control the trade of any considerable part of the world or even to realize the full benefits of it's own trade, unless its eX- changes are based upon a standard of value recognized as sound and per manent in all the centres of commerce.
 The speaker closed with a hope that the political platforms of both the parties would henceforth be clear and unequivocal on the silver question. When this issue, he said, Is directly presented we need not fear the result.
 The other toasts responded to were "Our Domestic Commerce" by Hon. Julius c. Burrows; National Develop ment and Opportunity" by Hon. Charles Emory Smith; "The City of New York" by Mayor Strong, and Ethics in Politics." by Rev. M. w. Striker.
 Among the letters of regret read was one from President Cleveland, in which he said: There was never time when my admiration for this business organ ization was so great, and am sure that the recent efforts of it's members to save the country from the havoc of financial madness ought to be appre- ciated by every patriotic citizen. would enjoy exceedingly a renewal of my association with my friends, but the trouble is I cannot attend this year and do the thing required here in the way of official duty"
