The Sublime Porte's VersiOn of the IRE

WASHINGTON, DC, Dec. 4.--The Turk
ish legation has received from the Sublime
Porte report of the Armenian troubles at
Trebizond, signed by the civil and military
officials, the Ulemas and notables of the
Vilayet-Mussulman, Greek or orthodox.
and Catholic. In part it is as follows:
ION October 2, while party consisting
of General Bahri Pasha, ex-vali of Van;
Ahmed Hamdi Pasha, commander of the
Redids at Trebizond; Raj HAM. Persian
Consul at Trebizond Hadjl Omer Effendi,
director of the posts and telegraphs, and
Suleiman Bey, commander OF the mounted
police, were passing along street in Ire
bizond they were fired upon several times
by a servant of an Armenian Bishop and
another Armenian. Bahri Pasha was shot
in the leg and Hamdi Pasha in the foot.
The assallants were instantly arrested.
"This incident, the first outbreak in Ire
bizond by the rebellious Armenians,
caused some excitement, but was not fol-
lowed by immediate disorder. Two days
later, however, an Armenian, one Hatchik,
while resisting arrest for completely in the
shooting, shot and killed Rahmi Effendi,
in the Al Vassil quarter, and made his es-
cape. The murder created immense ex-
element and the streets were soon filled
with mob, many of whom carried arms.
a rumor was circulated that the Armenians
had assassinated the Vali at the Govern
ment house, and rush was made for that
place. The streets were blocked by the
excited people. but after a time the au-
thorities succeeded in dispensing the crowd,
but the public feeling remained very
strong.
"In view of the critical situation arising
from the shooting Father Mesrob, acting
representative of the Armenian Bishop,
and the most prominent citizens of the
city were summoned to the Government
House to attend a meeting to consider the
best means of preventing further disorders.
Only Father Mesrob and one merchant
responded. They were implored to exert
all their in fuence to prevent repetition
of the recent scenes and to name the
hiding place of the murderer, the arrest of
whom would aid in restoring tranquility.
The merchant, however, declared that he
would not interfere in the matter, and
Father Mesrob said he did not know the
accused, and, moreover, it appeared from
reports that the two Pashas were wounded
by a soldier and that Rahmi Effendi was
killed by a Mussulman."

GLADSTONYS PROPHECY.

The Grand Old Man Sees In the Future
the Doom of the Sultan.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 4.-The Press
Club of Chicago has had an address from
some speaker of distinction in the Audito-
rum every year for several years. The
club invited Mr.. Gladstone for 1896 and
the Mayor of Chicago supplemented the
request with cordial invitation to Mr.
Gladstone and his family. Their letters
were sent to Mr.. Depew. to be forwarded
with a personal letter from him. The fol-
lowing is Mr.. Gladstone's answer:
HAwARDEN CASTLE, Chester Nov. 5, 1895
Dear Mr.. DepeW l have had the honor to
receive your letter of the Goth ult., which for
warded to me the invitation of the Press Club
accompanied and countenanced by the gra-
cious address of the Mayor of the great city of
Chicago.
1 cannot too strongly express my sense of the
honor thus done me, and wish to add that in
my opinion no cause more sacred and none
more urgent than that OF the Armenians has
ever been brought before the citizens of our
humane and enlightened country.
1t is for the moment enveloped, so far as the
public are concerned, in uncertainty; but vet
there are indications that the handwriting on
the wall, which warned one ancient despot of
his coming doom, has again been traced visibly
enough to betoken some approaching crash of
system of government far more impious and
iniquitous
With these feelings, 1 still must not bind
myself to the facts of my situation. After my
long public life l can attempt no public action
without considering much besides the truth,
and even the importance of what might have
to say, and am far from convinced that my
undertaking public progress Gor such it
would be- at the present time would be bene-
fetal to the Armenian cause. But all reason
ing on such question is cut short by an unde-
sirabie physical unfitness. The blessing of
good health is still vouchsafed to me, but DIM
lnished strength, i'm perfect vision and grow
Ing deafness incapacitate me for public efforts
which more weighty considerations might lead
me to undertake and confinc my intercourse
to Others to what is purely private and of
very restricted character.
send this reply with much regret but with
too full an assurance of its necessity.
In conclusion let me hope that the influence

The Joe Patchen-John r. Gentry Case
Under Consideration.
CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 4.-The board of
appeals of the American Trotting Associa-
ton was in session until late hour to-
day, but no decisions were handed down.
Fifteen cases of minor interest were
heard, about winding up the docket for
this year. Not one case has yet been con-
sidered by the board with reference to a
decision. All will be acted upon to-mor-
row, when a big batch Of decisions is ex-
pected.
Among those which will be decided is
the Joe Patchen-John R. Gentry case. AS
it has not been considered, no prediction
as to it can safely be ventured, though there
are those who would not be surprised if
both horses were ruled off the turf.

STRUCK BY An ENGINE.
Passengers Motor Car Haze q Lucky
Escape From Death.

LORAIN, ONO, Dec. A motor-car
and trailer on which were fifty passengers
became unmanageable at the railroad
switch of the Johnson Steel Company's
plant tonight. The brakes would not
work until the motor had partially passed
on to the track, when it came to stop.
The motorman jumped i'll time to save
his life.
The engine crashed into the car and tore
off the vestibule. Fortunately the en-
gineer had become aware of the fact that
the motor could not stop and succeeded in
slowing down his engine, so that the effect
of the collision was comparatively hight;
Several of the passengers were bruised
and shaken up, but none were seriously
injured.

Touched Upon Lynching.
BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 4. = A monster
mass-meeting was held in Music Hall to-
day, under the auspices OF the Colored Ma
tional League, to take action on the Presi-
dents message. The meeting was an ex-
citing one, the question turning on the
ignoring of the growth of lynching in the
message as sent to Congress. The speeches
were very violent and denounced the adj
ministration in no weak terms.
The sensation of the meeting was an adj
dress made by George T. Downing OF New
port, who is a warm personal friend OF
President Cleveland. In the course of his
remarks he brought attention to the fact
that the lynching of Italians in Colorado
was quite lengthily dilated on, while the
enormous National evil, and one which far
surpassed the Colorado horror, which was
only temporary, received no attention
at all.

body can foretell when they will all be
united and become formidable. The Gov
eminent cannot send troops from this
city against the rebels, because it fears an
uprising here, where the people and troops
are most dissatisfied.
The revolutionists here claim to have a
most perfect organization, with plenty Of
men and an abundance of money. 1t is
claimed that number of military leaders
are ready to join the movement, but fears
of war with England hold them back, as
they do not want to appear as traitors.
President Crespo is reported as most
anxious to leave the country, as he fears
a cataclism, and he is held in power only
by his friends and by their threats.
