Ohio Wants Mckinley

WASHINGTON, Dec. MARX Hanna
of Cleveland has joined the Ohio deiega-
ton looking after the interests of Gov
ernor Mckinley during the meeting OF
the Repu blican com mittee, and today,
speaking of reports that Ohio had some
other candidate than Mckinley said:
"Ohio is absolutely united in its cup
port OF Governor Mckinley, and any re-
ports that another Ohio name will be
presented to the national convention are
mischievous and false. In the most
formal manner the Republican party OF
Ohio has presentei the name OF Governor
Mckinley to the country as Ohio's
choice for the presidency. This vas done
at the state convention, and specifically
announced in the state platform"
Mr.. Hanna was asked as to the state
ment made by a gentleman named Wood,
that the name of Senator Sherman would
be presented to the national convention.
That is rot pure and simple said
Mr.. Hanna. "Senator Sherman was char
man of the big meeting held at the time
of the state convention, when the Mckin-
ley candidacy was the practically unan-
imous sentiment. The senator has spoken
in interviews and otherwise IN favor of
Mckinley"

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 6, via Sofia,
Bulgaria, Dec. News of the flight OF
Said Pashx and reports to the effect that
he has not taken refuge with Sir Philip
Currie, British am bassador, spread with
extraordinary rap,dity throughout the
Mussulman quarters and excited the
most profound interest. TURKS here
pretty generally admit that the fact that
so distinguished q person and rs we'll
known patriot as SAID Pasha should
seek shelter with foreign power is proof
positive of the gravity OF the present SIT
uation. 1t is acknowledged on all sides
that unless the palace clique can be
broken up o government by the sublime
porte Will be rendered impossible.
At meeting of the am bas adors reso-
lutions we're adopted and it is believed
tina. action was taken to the effect that
the powers will support Said Pasha in
Office OF grand vlzier, but it is not prob
able that he will again take up the duties
of that Office after seeking refuge from
the wrath of the sultan. 1t is believed
Said Pasha is DESTROYS of leaving the
country. but he will not quit the shelter
of the British embassy except with Il
guarantee from all the powers.
There has been absolutely no change
reported on the question of the guard
ships. A telegram from Caesarea was re.
ceived today announcing the safety OF
the missionaries at that point. Even the
Turkish accounts admit that two hum
dred Armenians were killed in the mas
sacre at Caesarea on November 30th.
Much apprehension is now felt for tho
safety OF the missionaries at Bitlis and
Kharput. Owing to tho lack of conf
dence entertained in the escorts furnished
by the officials, the missionaries are
afraid to leave. These two towns are re-
garded as especially dangerous posts,
although the missionaries at Bitlis con-
tinue to appear on the streets.
United States Minister Terrell has made
earnest representations to the sublime
porte in connection with this state OF
affairs. Owing to the cessation of trade
with Karput and 3itlis. it IS now difficult
to send money TO the missionaries.
Ammer Bey, recently governor of Had
jim, deprived of his post through the
represen tatons of United States Minister
Terrell, who informed tho sultan that if
the three women missionaries at Hadjln
were mole'ted in any way he would have
the head of the Turkish governor, mas
been appointed governor at Tarsus, which
Is regarded as a better position. Accord.
ing to the latest reports these three
American women were safe.

Associated Press spe cial Wire.

LONDON Dec. 7.-The Daily News to-
day publishes lett from an American
missionary at Mars ovan, which gives de-
tails of the recent m assacre there. Among
other statements the writer says:
1.-THE storm broke over Marsovau at
noon on the 18th, on the alarm that the
mosque had been attacked by Armenl-
ana. The Turks at once made an on
slaught on the market. There they seem
to have slaughtered the Armenians right
and left. while others attacked and looted
private houses. This bloody work began
near our premises. We could hear the
storm of wells and { he sbrieks mingled
with pistol and musket shots and the
fierce batturing at doors, especially Oh the
side nearest the girls boarding sch DOL.
The pandemonium reigned until it had
spent itself there and then 1t surged to
tho richer fields nearer the market. The
bullets came humming over and struck
the girls school. Finally the lighting
grew more distant.
I've had two Circassians on the prem.
lses who did good service. We sent them
to communicate with the caimakan,
whom they found pat,olling the city and
checking the bloodshed. He said he had
already sent soldiers to surround She
premises. They were soon perceived in
squads outside the walls and allowed no
raid on our grounds.
Toward night the ca.makan himself
came and brought us a guard of twenty
five men, who remained on the premises
all night. Their assurances were very
fair and God grant they may remain
faithful and that the mass OF helpless
noys and girls, pupils in the schools,
huddled together IN our houses, may DO
spared. Aside from the fear Of what
might happen on our premises, the feel.
Ing of hslplessness to do anything to
check such horrid work is most DISTRESS
ing. One poor woman lay in the street
where she was struck down from noon
until night. just few yards from the
postern gate of our grounds. We could
see her through the cracks but were I'M
able to reach or aid her."

THAT STOLEN TELEGRAM.
Secret Service Agent Harris
Says the Thief Will Be
Discovered.
A Complaint Has Been Filed and
an Investigation Has Been
Ordered.

Secret Service Agent of the Treasury N &.
r. Harris returned from Carson, New, yes
terday, where he has been investigating
the mint frauds. His first visit was to
superintendent Frank Javnes of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company to lodge a
complaint. He made most vigorous pro-
test against the giving out of private dis
patches by the company's employees and
the chances are that some one will be
prosecuted for the felony
On Saturday last Mr.. Harris sent a dis
patch to the Secretary of the Treasury in
Washington announcing the arrest of John
L. Jones for completely in the mint frauds.
This was at 4 80 in the afternoon and the
next morning the San Francisco papers
had a verbatim copy of the dispatch. The
next day the papers arrived in Carson and
Harris surprise was great to see his tele-
gram published word for word.
Some one is guilty of felony" said
Mr.. Harris yesterday land Intend to find
out who it is. l have already filed my
complaint with the company and an inves-
tigation has been ordered. There are two
telegraph stations in Carson. There is the
main office and branch at the railway de-
pot. The main-office wires run through
the branch office, and, of course, the oper-
ators in the latter can read off any dis
patch they want to. That telegram was
taken off close TO Virginia City, or perhaps
the branch Office at Carson had something
to do with it. We will discover the guilty
party and put him in place where he
won't be able to steal kilograms for some
time to come :"

WANT THE BILL AMENDED.
San Francisco School Teach
ers Object to the Annuity
Measure.
A Fund to Be Created to Change
the Existing Law at the
Next Session..

Both principals and teachers in the pub
lie schools in the city and county of San
Francisco feel aggrieved over the bill ito
create and administer a public school
teachers annuity and retirement fund in
the several counties and cities and coun-
ties of the State" as that bill was passed
by the last Legislature, and as a definite
proof of their dissatisfaction have begun
the organization of what is to be called
"The Teachers Annuity and Retirement
Fund Society,"" the primal object of which
is to create a fund for the amendment of
the bill as passed.
In just what particulars the principals
and teachers of this city are dissatisfied
hardly appears in their action. They make
no definite charges, but plainly declared, at
meeting held on Tuesday, their intention
to subscribe one per cent of their salaries
for the establishment of fund to be util-
lied in amending the objectionable bill.
The feelings of the principals and teach
ers are embodied in the following resolu-
tons, which were unanimously adopted:
Resotued, That we, the undersigned teachers
in the public schools of the city and county of
San Francisco, finding that the teachers an
nuity retirement bill as passed by the Legis-
lature of 1895 does not meet with our entire
approval, and wishing to show our realization
of the necessity for some such measure do
hereby organize ourselves into q society to be
known as "The Teachers Annuity and Retire
ment Fund Society" and pledge ourselves to
contribute per cent of our salaries, payable
monthly, toward the establishment of fund
to be known as the teachers annuity and re-
tirement fund; providing that at the
lature concerted effort be made
to have the present bill amended so as to meet
with our approval
RESOLVED, That the establishment of this fund
be as an evidence TO the State Legislature OF
our good faith in wishing to carry out the pro-
visions of the bill as far as practicable, and
also proof of the necessity of some further
provision for the creation of fund than the
setting aside of one per cent of our salaries.
Resolved, That If the bill be amended so as to
become satisfactory, the funds TO the credit of
the teachers annuity and retirement fund,
which shall be placed deposit in saw
ings bank, shall be transferred TO the proper
authorities, to be used to carry out the provis-
ions of the amended bill; but, in the case of
failure to amend the bill, the money to be held
subject to the will of the society.
RESOLVED, That copy OF these resolutions be
sent TO the principal of every public school in
this city and county, with the request that it
be submitte to each teacher for approval and
signature, and that when the copies
are returned to M. Babcock, Esq, president of
the Teachers Pension Association, a meeting
OF all who have signed be called for organiza-

his life he has given faithfully to the
cause, and he is the recognized head of
theosophists in this country. There is
hardly any opposition to him. Probably
about a dozen persons in San Francisco
may be opposed to him, and there are two
small lodges on this coast and one in
Minneapolis that are somewhat antago-
nistic, but that is all.
1.-THE American section has about 102
branches scattered over the country with a
membership regular membership-of
at least 5000, to say nothing of the very
numerous sympathizers with the move
ment. / think Mr.. Judge will be re-
elected without dissenting voice
81 believe the American section will
simply declare itself the theosophical So
ciety and adopt proper constitution and
bylaws accordingly. These constitution
and bylaws will be submitted to the other
two sections for their ratification, but if
they fail to ratify we will proceed as a
thoroughly Independent organization.
The lodges on this coast which have
manifested opposition to Mr.. Judge are
the Harmony branch at Los Angeles
which is one of three in that city-and a
branch at Port Townsend. There are
thirty-six branches on the Pacific Coast.
The Willamette branch at Portland, Or,
is somewhat divided.

ANOTHER BABY VICTIM.
Little James Madigan Crushed to
Death Under an Electric Car,

L1Gbie James mau1San CruSneu TO
Death Under an Electric Car,
Another young life was sacrificed on the
Mission-street electrician line yesterday.
The victim was James Madigan, aged
three years and four months.
The children were playing on the side
walk, and one of them ran across the
street. The little fellow started to follow
him, but was caught by car lob and
crushed to death. w. r. Thompson, the
motorman, was arrested, but released on
his own recognizance.
The child's parents formerly lived at
Newark where the father is employed as
an ironmolder. They were about to move
to 939 Pine street, Oakland, but before do
ing so paid visit to some friends at ITO
Mission street, Little James went out to
play, and the first his father and mother
knew of the accident was when the man.
gled corpse was carried into the house.
The accident took place about hundred
yards from the crossing of Mission street,
between Seventh and Eighth
According to Motorman Thompson the
little boy ran from behind wagon on the
north side of Mission street. He crossed
the track and then attempted to run back
again, but before he could get clear the
guardless car struck and crushed his life
out. In the excitement the police neg
lected to get the names of anysswitnesses,
but as the conductor of the car has list
OF the passengers the Coroner will be able
to get some witnesses. 1t is said that the
Mlsslon-street electricians run at high
rate OF speed, and that is one of the points
that Will be brought out at the inquest.
Some of the passengers say that the
motorman was not to blame. The lad was
almost under the wheels before he was
seen, and, although every effort to stop the
car was made, it was too late. This makes
the fourth child in three weeks that has
been killed under the wheels of electric
cars, and the END is not vet.

AFFECTS THE LOTTERIES
The New Law Is Cutting Into
the Traffic in This
City.
IT'S GENERAL APPLICATION.
A Question as to Whether or Not 1t
Includes the Telegraph
Companies.

That the recent laws passed by Congress
and the local agitation of the subject are
seriously damaging the lottery traffic in
this city is plainly apparent. Those who
engage in the business of selling tickets
acknowledge this to be the fact; those
who cash the tickets have marked de-
crease of the business which they did be-
fore, and people themselves who bought
regularly of the delusive bit of paper find
fewer friends who join them in the risky
enterprise.
The law recently passed by Congress has
a good deal to do with this growing feeling
