| Forty-Six Armenians Killed and Il
Large Number Wounded.
| LONDON, Oct. 15.-The Daily Ne1Os to-
morrow will print dispatch from Con-
stantinople saying that the agitation there
has been renewed, owing TO the neglect
of the Turkish officials to fulfill their
promise of security given to the Arme-
nian refugees when they left the
churches. Another attack was made on
Kassim Pasha and other Armenians on
the 18th inst, when four were killed and
a number wounded. 1t is alleged that
the police refused TO interfere.
Details have been received of an organ
lied attack on Arnenians by a Moslem
mob at Akkishar on the 9th inst. Forty
six Armeniens were killed and a large
number wounded.
THE POWERS FINAL SCHEME.
LONDON, Oct. 15.-The Chronicle to-
morrow Will print the following dispatch
from ConstantinOple, under Gate of Oc-
tober 14th: Sir Philip Curre, NJ. Cam
bon and NJ. \ eldotf, the British, French
and Russian ambassadors, met here yes
terday and drew up final scheme. This
they subnitted to Said Pasha, the Foreign
Minister, who went Immediately to the
Sultan. The scheme contains provisions
of which no alteration Will be made. A
favorable answer was expected to-day,
but at o'clock no reply had been re-
ceived. This was regarded as a bad sign,
indicating fresh attempt of the Sultan
to gam time, but the Embassadors are re-
solved not TO permit further indefinite
discussion, therefore the proposals Will
be quickly followed by an uitiInatum.
Inc En- bassadorS hold Identical views,
but their Governments are not unani-
nous: hence the hesitation to use force.
tl,a
Willingness TO see Armenia organized
with authority. 1t issa serious TACT that
Yesterdays proposals revert, with slight
alterations, to the scheme of May llth.
The demand for Christian high Com
missioner to be appointed by the powers
is dropped.
The Chronicle, commenting on the
affair, will describe 1t as a climb down.
We have been outblutfed and have had
slap in the face that high spirited peo-
ple ought not to tolerate. We have to
thank the weak-kneed champion OF
Toryism. We never need trust Lord
Salisbury to play the part OF Il strong
man again.
The Chronicles anger seems to arise
from the terms of the proposition being
no stronger than wero Lord Rose bery's
on May lith.
The Constantinople correspondent OF
the Standard, i'll a dispatch which that
paper will print tomorrow. renews his
attacks on the HintschaA Society, which,
ne says, for years past has flooded Turkey
and Europe with pamphlets advocating
the advancement OF anarchisn. During
the past few days, whenever Armenians
have opened their shops, emissAries of
this society have forced them to close
again, for the purpose OF maintaining the
appearance OF a panic, although the
Armenians are ready aud anxious to re-
sumo business. The result has been an
enormous loss, solvent houses allowing
their bills to be protested. The loss is
variously estimated at a hundred thou
sand to half million francs.
The whole onus of the present situa-
ton, the correspondent says, lies with the
Armenian LEADERS,, and on neither the
Armenian populace nor the police. The
writer describes visit made by him to
one of the prisons. He says he was al
lowed to freely question the prisoners,
who did not appear to have any serious
cause for complaint. A commission of
inspection has sent TO the authorities a
list OF tifty-six prisoners with a recon-
mendation for thoir liberation.
The correspondent conversed with Ha-
zim Pasha, who bitterly complained of
the manner in which he has been fettered
by the Powers and by repeated amnes-
ties. All the leaders OF the revolutionary
movement are protected by amnesties.
Indeed, tine chief OF the Hintschak Soci-
ETY. started for Marseilles on Sunday at
midnight under the surveillance OF the
secret police SO long as revolutionary
societies are protected In Europe while
they ioment sedition in Constantinople,
says the writer. all of Hazim's efforts
will be frustrated.
The rumors of renewed disturbances,
he says, are false. There have been, be
says, only two drunken breaches of the
peace during the last three days and
neither had fatal results. In accordance
