The annual report of the ChiCka-
manga and Chattanooga national park
commission shows AZ miles of roads
have been constructed in the park and
much done in the way of repairs and
betterments. The park now includes
5,56S acres, upon which S27.S2O has
been expended. Additional tracts
which are desired could not be Sc
cured owing to the eXorbitant charges
OF the holders. Twenty-three monu-
ments and markers have been placed
and 11S foundations prepared for state
monuments and markers have been
completed. Ohio is the foremost with
30 monuments and SO markers. There
are now in place PIP historical tablets
and 2S6 distance and locality and 25
battery tablets; the fighting positions
Oh batteries are being marked by guns
mounted in war style and 164 of such
guns, not quite one-half of the total
number in action, have been placed.
The commissioners believe that when
the work has been finished Chicka-
manga and Chattanooga will be per
haps the only as yet correctly and
completely marked battle fields in the
world.

Edgar Allan Poe, founded upon the life
of that melancholy but gifted poet.
The play has attracted very favorable
attention; and Mr.. HaZelton is recog-

tragic life. Mr.. Hazelton, it will be
remembered, was an actor with Bar

but he had a wealth of rich cOnnec-

RELIEF Is TEMPORARY
RESULT OF POLICY ADOPTED BY
SIR EDGAR VINCENT.
TURKISH POLITICAL AFFAIRS
Review of the Situation in the Far
East-Armenia in Condition Of
Dreadful Anarchy-No Fears of an
Outbreak Against the Chris
tians

London, Nov. 9.-In spite of the
fact that Sir Edgar Vincent, governor
OF the Imperial Ottoman bank at Con-
suantinople, has succeeded in better
ing the financial condition of Turkey
by suspending for month the pay
ment of gold for bank notes in order
to give time for the conversion into
pounds Turkish of the gold which is
coming to the bank from it's branches
and the prol0nging of the cession Of
the Ottoman bank for twelve years, it
is believed that this will afford only
momentary relief and that together
with the change of ministry at Con-
stantinople, it will have little or no
effect upon the political aspect of af
fairs.
In view of the many startling re-
ports from Constantinople recently, it
is possible just to believe that some of
them have been colored by exaggera-
ton upon the part of the Armenians.
But the main fact does not appear to
be in any way altered by this color
ing and it is that Armenia appears to
be in a condition of the most dreadful
anarchy.
The latest review Of the situation
came from Constantinople yesterday
in a dispatch from the Times CORES
pendent in that city. He telegraphs:
The condition of things here is re-
garded as unbearable by all the diplo-
mats and the sultan, whose sole idea
Of policy is to play off one power
against the other, is nonplussed at
their unanimity. All the powers are
friends and they give him sound but
most distasteful counsel None of
their manifestations have any selfish
purpose affording material for the
manufacture of political capital.
Among the advice rendered him
much bears upon the insecurity of the
capital as evidenced by the September
riots which left the Mohammedans in
state of unprecedented excitement.
But the remedy suggested is an in
creased number Of spies, arrests or Sc
cret executions and therefore the ad-
vice of the powers does not meet with
response.
Much also has been said about the
bloodshed in the provinces and the
enormous detriment to trade in the
greater part of Asia Minor and Syria.
But the only answer is the annihilia-
ton of the reform scheme by the ap-
pointment of two palace creatures to
the board of control of which one of
them is president. Nowhere, however,
are fears entertained Of any wholesale
fanatical outbreak against the chris
tians. The danger lies quite in an
other direction.

Mapetha, L. T., Nov 12.-The sched-
uled twenty-five round mill between
Peter Maher, champion, and Steve
ODonnell, of Australia, who has been
long associated with Jim Corbett as
the champions sparring partner, came
to an untirnely end last night. It was
one of the quickest battles on record
O'DonneI was knocked out in one
round, only sixty-three seconds from
the start. When called upon for
speech Corbett climbed through the
ropes and from the ring said: Gentle
men, thank You very much. You

men of America here tonight and all /
can say is this: II [ was in England Or
Australia and acted as Fitzsimmons
did in this match I would be chased

correct estimate of Mr.. WhiIney's
wealth, but he ranks as one of the
-roesuses of New York. They say he
will give his daughter as a wedding
present a cool million, or an annual
settlement of $4,000. This latter plan
would be in accord with his ideas of
keeping the fortune intact, and max
ing house Of Whitney like the
house Of Astor. All Mrs. Whitney's

A very beautiful wedding gift was
brought over for the bride by the
