the week has not been of nature
calculated to dissipate the clouds
which have been hanging heavily
over the political horizon for a long
time past. From Asia Minor came
authenticated reports of further mas
sacres of Armenians, during which
the Turks seem to have applied the
torch to petroleum-soaked victims
and to have skinned others alive, in
addition to plundering property on
all sides. From the far East yes
terday came report that China has
agreed that Germany shall occupy
one of the islands near Annoy for
the purpose of converting it into
naval depot. Fears are expressed
that if this rumor turns out to be
correct, International complications
of a serious nature will follow, as
Russia and France, not to mention
Great Britain, are certain to demand
similar concession.
Strange as it may seem. the offens-
i've vaporings of the Dunraven
pamphlet still fill the air hereabouts
and his lordship may be likened to
an old man of the sea, clinging tena-
ciously to the back of International
sport, determined apparently TO tire
it out of existence. But DunraVen
will not find much consolation in the
comments upon his charges by the
weekly newspapers, which, speaking
generally, condemn him in unmis-
taxable terms. The Saturday Re
view, for example. says it finds it
difficult to sympathize with the feel
ing which induced Lord Dunraven to
publish his extraordinary state
ment," and adds: Neither the mat
ter nor the manner inclines US in his
favor. He surely ought never to
have mixed up the serious charges
of fraud with the complacent express
sion of his belief that in various
points Valkyrie is superior to Defend
reference seem to show that he is
incapable of impartiality. He asks
us to believe that the captains of
500 competing steamers entered into
a conspiracy to give their wash to
Salkyrie.''.
The Saturday Review concludes
Sith remarking that it feels certain
23e New York Yacht club will deal
with the matter fairly and honor
ably.
The Speaker says: ''The ill-judged
pamphlet has done much to ALLEVIATE
our sympathy and make US ac-
knowledge that the supporters of the
New York Yacht club have ample
grounds for the indignation they ex-
press"
SCARED BY CHOLERA.
Many Americans and others here
who intended to winter in Egypt have
decided to change their plans owing
to the reports Of the prevalence of
cholera in certain parts of that coun-
try. Cairo and Alexandria have thus
far not been affected, but cholera is
said to have appeared in serious
forms elsewhere in Egypt.
The arrest here of the directors
and managers of the Worlds Great
Marriage association, on the charge
of having engaged in defrauding a
suffering public in an extern
sive manner, has created quite a
futter of eXcitementamong the many
deluded persons of both sexes whose
weak-mindedness or romantic dis
positions, or both, have led them into
the habit of applying to matrimonial
agencies for husbands or wives.
These people are now in q state of
trepidation, fearing that their tell
tale letters may be introduced as
evidence. Some idea of the business
done by this interesting agency may
be gathered from the fact that the
police have seized hundreds of pack
ages of photographs and carloads of
letters. The manager of the agency
alleges that the writers of the seized
letters include not only peers and
peeresses, members of the house of
commons, judges, lawyers, clergymen
and doctors, the governor of a large
colony and members of the aristoc-
racy, male and female, of all sorts,
but even cabinet ministers. Natur-
ally, under the circumstances, the
trial of the manipulators Of the as
sociation is expected to prove highly
edifying.
