CoNsrANTINoPLE, Oct. 17.-Acoording
to the latest information received here
from lTrebizond, Armenis, four hundred
persons were killed during the recent
rioting there.
The Grand Vizler Kiamil Pasha has
issued an order holding the governor of
Trebizond responsible for all loss of
life hereafter through political or re-

sultan to the Russian ambassador, A. J.

where he was confined while awaiting

Some Of the Armenians, who re-
opened their stores, thus disobeyinp the
orders OF the Armenian committee,
have been fined, and three merchants,

the Turkish authorities, and, as re-

ommittee, who took part in forcing the
Armenians to close their stores, have

OF the South Carolina constitutional con.
Vention to-day was devoted to o discus
sion OF the homestead law. The pro
vision at issue was that preventing the

characterized the whole report of the
committee as a sham and fraud. He
said 1t pretended to give the right of a
homestead, though leaving loopholes
for the supreme court to decide the law
so as to defeat the homestead. The
motion to strike out the provision was
adopted by vote of SO to AZ
