Desperate Attempts to Blow Up Armour

A bold conspiracy to assassinate George NJ.
Pullman and Philip d. Armour has just come
to light, and every effort is being made to ap.
prehend the perpetrators Of the plot. Mon.
day morning two packages were received at

They proved to be Internal machines, which,
had they reached their destination and been
opened without suspicion by the men fol-
whom they were intended, would have prob
ably blown them into eternity.
The packages were taken up by collector

age to be similar to the one he had picked

weighed about twenty-four ounces and the
poorly scrawled addresses were enough tC
attract the attention of the carrier.

lookout for suspicious packages for Mr.
Armour, as a stranger had notified attache:

HORRORS OF KHARPUT.
Worst Reports We're Not as Shocking as the
Naked Truth.

Further details, which have just been re-
ceived at Constantinople, from Kharput,
shed a clearer light upon the massacre OF
Christians and the destruction OF the Ameri-
can mission buildings there on November
10.
A false report was circulated at Kharput
some days previous to the outbreak to the
effect that the American missionaries were In
possession Of arms which they were distribut.
ing to the Christians, preparing the latter for
an attack upon the Mussulmans.
DR.. Herman NJ. Barnum, when informed OF
the reports in circulation, and to allay the
excitement among the Moslems, went person
ally to the Governor Of Kharput and gave up
to that official five revolvers owned by
American missionaries. DIR. Barnum and his
associates also induced the other Christians
Of Kharput to surrender their arms to the
Turkish authorities, hoping thereby to avert
the threatened uprising Of the Mussulman
population. But the surrender of the arms
had no effect on the excited population,
showing that the reports circulated were
only part of deliberate plan.
The attack upon the Christians, the burn
ing Of the mission building, already fully de-
tailed, followed in spite Of the assurances OF
the Turkish governor that the fullest protec-
ton would be accorded TO the property OF
the Americans, as well as to the Americans
themselves.
From 500 to 1000 people are believed ia
have been killed, and American property
yariously estimated in value from S25,0O0 to
/ S50,0 was destroyed. The Americans
however, all escaped with their lives, and
were accorded a refuge at the residence Of
| the Governor.
The advces just received concluded with
