CENSUS BY COUNTIES.
SECRETARY CASSoN GIVES OUT
OFFICIAL RESULTS.
The Increase During the Past Five
Years Is 127, 56S More Than the
Proceeding Five Years.

Col. CaSson, secretary of state, has
given out the official enumeration Of
the state according to counties. A
number of errors were discovered in
the returns as they came from
county clerks and this considerably al
tiers the figures as published about
a month ago. These figures will go
into the official report to be published.
The great delay in getting this official
report out was due to the recount in
Milwaukee, Even the second figures OF
that city contained number OF err
rors. These the compiling clerks cor
rected. The secretary will soon issue
an official report Of the census accord
iig to assembly, senate and congress
sional districts. This he will publish
over his signature. Politicians of
both the old parties are waiting for
this last report with considerable In
terest for on 1t will depend to great
degree the justice of calling an extra
session of the legislature to reappor-
tion the state.

for mental endowment and social
distinction. Her grandfather, William
Cobell Rives, was United States min
lister to France from 1929 to 1882 and
from 1919 to 1853. He sat in the sen
ate OF the United States from 1885
to 1916, and during the civil war
served in the confederate congress.
His wife, Judith Page Walker, was i
woman of the highest culture, and
both husband and wife wrote several
books each. Alfred Landon Riyes,
AmelieS father, Is an eminent civil
engineer and superintendent of the
Panama railroad.
Amelle received her education under
the direction Of private tutors. Her
first effort as an author was a story
published In the Atlantic Monthly,
which, with several other short
stories, was published in book form
under the title of A Brother to
Dragons and Other Old-Tlme Tales,
in 1888. The same year her first
novel The Quick or the Dead? created
a profound sensation. More than
100000 copies were sold, and it was
commented on more widely than any
other book of that time.
Her next work was The Witness of
the Sun, and, after her return from
Europe in 1891 she published a novel
cite entitled According to st. John.
She is also the author of several
poems, the most notable Of which is
Asmoders, Son of Bel. Her literary
work has been described by eompe-
tent critics as evincing sustained
power, strong descriptive faculty
and finished literary art.
Amelie was married in June, 1883,
just after the publication of The
Quick or the Dead? to John Arm
strong Chanler, grandson of John
Jacob Astor, who is very rich,
nervous and energetic. They imme-
diately sailed for Europe, and spent
the time in travel until 1891. After
the publication of her novelette, they
went back to Europe, and she re-
NAMED there until last January.
Since that they have been travelling
in various sections of this country
until recently, when she went to her
fathers house, where she now is. The
sole ground of divorce was incom-
patibility OF temper.

ARMENIANS SET FREE
FOREIGNERS PERSUADE THEM
TO LEAVE THE CHURCHES.
ARMS TsKEN From THEM
More Than Seven Hundred Armeni-
ans Killed, Wounded or Missing as
Result OF the Recent Uprising
Russian Government Decides to
Send War Ship.

Constantinople via Sofia, Oct. r.
1t is now stated on good authority
that the total number of killed.
wounded and missing Armenians up
to date, as a result of the recent up
rising, is over 700. The dragomans
of the various embassies, accom-
panied by the canyassers, after re-
celving instructions from the differ
ent ENJOYS of the powers to assist
the Turkish authorities in prevailing
upon the ArmeniansN to leave til!
churches in which they sought refugt
after the outbreak, at first proceeded
to the Armenian church of Constan-
tinople. There the Armenian bishop
and the dragomans of the British en-
bassy exhorted the Armenlans to re-
turn to their houses, assuring them
they had nothing to fear from the
Turks and that the strongest assur-
ances had been given to the repre-
sentatives Of the powers by the Turk
ish government that the lives and
property of the Armenians would be
protected.
After consultation and delay the
refugees declared they would not
leave the church except Oh the fol-
lowing conditions: That amnesty be
granted for political offenses; that
they be permitted to retain their
arms In their possession; that the
prisons be opened for the inspection
of representatives of the powers. and
that innocent prisoners be released.
The dragomans refused to consider
these propositions. In the meanwhile,
however, the Armenian women and
children had come out of the church;
but, when they noticed that the men
had not followed them, they returned,
weeping and crying out thar they
would be killed IL they returned to
their homes clone, and saying they
preferred to die i'll the church.
The dragomans, In view of the OBJ
stinacy of the Armenians, had con-
ference during the afternoon with the
Armenian patriarch, after which
through the influence Of the. prelate,
the evacuation of Kumkapou cathe-
dral commenced. AS the refugees
left the cathedral. the priests entered
the names on special list while they
were searched. When arms were
found upon the persons of the Arme-
mans, they were taken from them
and deposited in the patrlarchate.
The Armenian church of Constan-
tinople, 1t was subsequently an
nounced, cvontained 1000 persons
who had sought refuge and 500 refu-
gees left the Kumkapou cathedral.
Additional advices received yester-
lay from Trebizond Armenia, show
that the M,lsselman attacked the
Christian quarter OF that town and
killed many of the Armenians. A
number of others sought refuge out
side of the town. The Russian gov
ernment has decided to send war
ship to Treblzond.

tective got It under pretense Of being

trouble and believes 1t will not be
necessary to call out the troops.

DARK FOR BLACKBURN.
Colonel Steady Says That Kentucky
Is Likely to Go Republican.

Washington, October 13.-Colonel 0.
.. Steady, for twenty years Washing
ton representative of the Louisville
Courler-Joulnal, who has Just returned
from Kentucky, this evening said: II
believe that Bradley will be the next
governor of Kentucky, and deplore the
situation, Our state has always been
Democratic but 1t is likely to so re-
publican this year Louisville, the
great commercial center of Kentucky,
will so republican this year by from
6,0oO to 5000. That alone win make
a difference OF at least $4,000 in the
result Wat Hardin has repudiated
the platform, and the people are not
with him.
IL do not see how Joe Blackburn can
of Hardin win mean Blackbun's de-
feat also. We are hoping for DEM
ocratic legislature, but in that event
there would be some one else than
Blackburn elected, or else there would
be a vacancy. | do not think that
Carlisle would be a candidate under
any circumstances. SO far as Black
burns Interview Is concerned, in
which he says that Grover Cleveland
is Interfering In Kentucky affairs, you
may set II down as rank nonsense.
The president doesn't care a rap for Joe
blackburn nor any other man who
wants TO come TO the senate, and
don't believe that he has ever said
or done anything In the matter. That
talk is some Of BlaclSburn's political
clap-trap"
