CoNsTANTINoPLE. Dec. 2.-The sultan
has not yet heard the last Of the extra
%guardship question. The withdrawal
OF the British gunboat from the Dar-
danelles, where she was awaiting the
necessary documents allowing her pas.
sage through the str aits, was only q
temporary measure taken ON account of
the fact that the palace had framed the
report that serious rioting WAS planned,
to commence as soon as the warshi %
entered the B%osphorus.
The powers seem to be unanimously
in favor of insisting on the extrs guard
ship. The palace party is triumphant,
ana the impression Is being conveyed to.
the sultan that ne has won n great vic
tory over the flowers. It looked as If
Great Britain had attained the obiscs
she had in Wow when the Dryad WAS
sent to the ~Dardanelles, namely. to
show the sultan and the powers that.
while DESTROYS O: &C ling in accord with
the other powers her MAJESTY was pre-
pared to act IL necessity should demand,
and that If the power desired concerted
action they must act promptly or Great
Britain will take initiative steps. The
firing upon the British ship Loeb Ran
noch IN the Dardsnelles is said by the
Turkish officers, to be q matter OF little
Importance and easily explained.
A great deal of excitement was
created here to-day by the report that
Mohnmmed Murad, who on the
ground Of idiccy on August 81, 1876, was
captured by the sultan on the deposi-
tion of his uncle, Abdul Az,z, on MAY
30. 1876, has escaped from the Vildiz
Kiosk, where he WAS prisoner. The
ex-sultan, although q captive for niue-
teen years, is said to enjoy rood health
and to have been intriguing for his
release. AS a result his quarters were
daily examined. Sentinels were at all
doors OF his apartments, all his letters
were read before being handed to him
or posted and AZ night the keys OF his
room were taken to the sultan for snfe-
keeping.
From the provinces not much news Ia
forthcoming. The Turkish ofi oials are
apparently doing everything possible to
suppress any facts except those which
are for the government.
The Utmost secrecy is observed re-
gardtng the movements of Turkish
troops operating from Marash, and, as
the latter place Is now reported TO be
garrisoned by quite q family OF Armen-
ians. the com plete silence as to what is
going on in thxt district csuses much
anxiety for the safety OF the Armenians.

All Race.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 2.-There
were between 5000 and 1000 people at Agri-
cultural Park this afternoon to witness the
last events of the Breeders Association
meeting. One of the features of the crowd
was the presence of many elaborate equip
ages and turnouts. The breeders meeting
has been the best in point of interest and
speed that has been held in this city for
some time.
The first event to-day was the unfinished
gentlemens road race of Friday. George
R won two heats yesterday and took the
first to-day in 2:21A.
The next event was the 40 trotting, all
ages, for a purse of $1,000. Lady Thorn
hill got the pole, but lost ground, and
Lady Grace won the first heat, with Lady
Thornhill second and Stamboul Belle
third. The second heat was won by Lady
Grace with ease, with Lady Thornhill Sec
ond and Coal Dust third; and the third
heat was easily captured by the feet Grace.
The third event was the 40 nomination
trotting for purse of $1,000. McZeus was
the favorite in the first heat and won
easily. The sulkies of Jasper Ayres and
Irene Crocker collided, and Ed Connolly,
the driver of Irene Crocker, was thrown to
the ground, but though badly bruised he
had the presence of mind to hang onto the
reins and prevented worse accident

Interference of the Northern PLAYERS
Powerless to Check Their
Antagonists.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 2.-On a sloppy
field and in mist and rain the Reliance
football team of Oakland met the local
champions, the Multnomahs, to-day on
Multnomah field. The game was cap
tured by the Californians.
The local champions battled bravely in
the mud to break down the Reliance line,
but it was all in vain, and they did not
get the satisfaction of a touchdown, as the
visitors kept them far away from their
home goal. The score was 40 too.
In the first half the visitors secured a
score of IS, and in the second half the
Multnomahs, who played valiantly against
much better trained and heavier team,
lost courage and gave up. The attendance
was about 5000.
The Reliance team outstripped the Port
landers in weight, and the onslaughts of
the Reliance could not be STAYED off; they
went through the interference like wind.
The game could not be said to possess fea-
lures, for the earth was literally wiped UP
by the Reliance eleven. The plucky Multi
nomahs put up splendid game against
their antagonists.
The Reliance team goes to Tacoma on
Monday.
