ARMENlANS CALLED DOWN.
The Powers Preparing to Send Note to
the Patriarch.

Inc fOWerS preparing TO Senu n Note to
the Patriarch.
At meeting of the ambassadors OF the
powers, which has Just been held, It was de-
cided TO send collective communication to
the Armenian Patriarch in order to solicit his
assistance in the efforts being made by the
put stop to the agitation going on among
the Armenians.
The Turkish newspapers have published an
article contradiciing the prevailing idea that
special privileges will in future be conceded
10 the Armenians. The article continues:
AS, however, the existing laws require
notifications, and certain reforms by which
all, without distinction of race or religion,
will benefit, will be introduced tentatively In
certain provinces OF Anatopia.h
The article is regarded as Intended to pre-
pare the Mussulmans for the prornulgation
Of the reforms forced upon the Turkish Gov
eminent by the powers and TO preveat the
impression spreading that that they are for
the exclusive benefit of the Armenians or n
result of the Armenian agitation and the in
tervention OF the powers.
Sir Philip Currie, the British ambassador.
has received from an Armenian source "a
warning that the Young Turkey party will
probably induce some Armenian misereant 10
attempt his life In order to disgrace the Ar
menian people.
The reforms are not, properly speaking, the
granting OF fresh privileges SO much as re-
capitulating and providing for the regular nd
ministration of already existing codes aifec'-
ing the well-being Of Moslems as well rs
Christians. The Armenians consider that the
concessions are illusory, and Turkish officials
admit that they were wrung from the Porte
under violent pressure. The Turks are furi-
Gus. and many competent observers do not
hesitate to predict a crisis leading to revolt
and bloodshed compared with which the Ar
menian troubles would be Insignificant.

The bhttleship Indiana was given pre-
limnary run over the Government trial

was very satisfactory. On the run up the

81 knots aud is marked by Six big black buoys
placed 90 knots apart. The greatest speed
achieved was between tho third and
fourth buoys, the average for the distance
being 10 75 knots. Boilers. engines and every

sary to speed her on the return trip, and she
was therefore logged back over the course at

Prof. Bell, Of the geological survey. who

discovered a large river In the Province OF

Height OF Land they followed an unknown
river, which gradually widened until It as
sumed great size They followed this river
TO James Bay. The river had three large
branches, one OF which had its source north
OF Three Rivers; another In the Lake st. John
region, and tho third near Lake Mistassini.
This now river, for which the Indians have
no name, is much larger than the Ottawa,
ind DIR. Bell afflrms 1t TO be the sixth OF the
great rivers OF the world. Its average width
~ considerable more than mile. 1t flows
through level, clay country, Is very deep
and may be called new Nile OF the North. II
10 900 miles long, and great stretches would
be navigable for steamers. Towards James
Bay, there are SUGGESTIONS OF great rapids.
The banks are heavily wooded with pine,
spruce, tamarack, balsam, and white birch.
