GREAT RELIGIOUS WAR.
1T IS LOOKED FOR IN WESTERN
PERSIA.
1t Is Being Forced by the Sultan of
Turkey in Order to Retain His
Prestige Among the Mohamme-
dams.

Djulfa, Russia, April 29.-(Copy-
righted 1895 by the Associated Press.)
The special correspondent OF the As
ISOLATED Press, who is investigating
the situation in Armenia. has furnish
ed the following correspondence:
The Turkish government IS taking
prompt measures to prevent the upris-
ing of the Armenia revolutionists
next month. All roads leading from
Persia to Van have been closed by or
der of the Turkish government, the
intention being to shut off cOmmuni-
cation between the revolutionary
leaders in Persia and their agents in
Armenia. One Armenian caravan that
tried to get through to Van
from Khoe was seized by the Turkish
officials
Within the past week, the Turkish
consul at Sautch Bulsk, in Persia,
tried to cross over into Turkey with
an armed escort of twevle men, but
he was turned back by the Kurds, who
hold possession of all the roads. At
the same time the Turkish officials
in the towns near the border were
chased out of the country by the
Kurds. They took refuge in Ravendus.
where they are now. The Kurds have
warned them not to return. The Ar
Turks will get into a fight and ex-
terminate each other A reasonable
explanation for this activity with the
Kurds may be found in a letter from
Shiek Abdel Kahr, recently written to
his brother in the mountains of Kur-
distan. Abdel Kahr announces that the
sultan had appointed him to command
the Handle regiment of a regular
Kurdish cavalry together with a. force

to be a great war, during which he
and his troops were to capture the
Russian city of Kars.
Many well informed persons in west
ern Persia believe Asia Minor is on
the verge of a great religious war,
which the sultan of Turkey is forcing
upon the world in order to retain his
prestige among the ,Mohammedans.
AS eight months have passed since
the Sassoun and Moosh massacres and
nothing has been done in consequence
by the Turkish government, the Mos
lens of Persia are beginning to believe
that nothing will be done and that
European protests count for nothing. As
a result the Persians are beginning
to talk of having massacre of Chris
tians on their account. Were it not
for the strong hand of the Persian
government and the good will and

The situation in Armenia has grown
worse and the Christian people of
eastern Turkey are at present in
greater peril than they were the week
Of the massacre. The village of Ba-
loolan was attacked by 400 Kurds and
several men killed. The village is al
most deserted. Another attack is
looked for daily. as the Kurds have
sent word that they mean to remove
Baloolan from the face of the earth
in revenge for the death of one of their
men. They will undoubtedly carry out
their threat

BOTH IMPORTANT.
TWO DECISIONS HANDED DOWN IN
WYOMING.
Information System UpheId-Bigamy
and the State COnstitutiOn-The
Edmunds Tucker Law.
-ISnecial 10 The HERALD

Cheyenne, Wyo., May 29.-Two import
ant decisions were made by the Wyo-
ming supreme court today. By one the
application of Charles Boulter for a writ
of habeas corpus was denied. Boulter
was convicted of manslaughter in lower
court and sentenced to five years i'm
priSonment. He claimed that his convic-
ton was unlawful, because founded 'on
information. The supreme court upholds
the information system, and affirms the
legality of the statutes which allow pros
ecution of defendants by information or
indictment at the option of county Off
Gals.
The second case was that of John Muir
ply, arrested for bigamy. He claimed
that there is no law in Wyoming against
this crime. While Wyoming was terri
tory, the legislature enacted a law cover
ing the crime at the same time the Ed
munds law against polygamy and bigamy
was in force. Murphy claims that the
territorial legislature had no authority to
pass such a. law, it being a matter within
the jurisdiction of Congress; that the act
being void at the time of its enactment,
it could not be revived by the adoption of
the state constitution, and that since
statehood was obtained Wyoming has
been without any law against bigamy.
The cuort ruled that the territorial legis-
lature had the right to pass a law con-
current with the United States law and
that it was continued in force by the
adoption of the state constitution.

[special to The Herald.l

Boise, May 90. Nearly 500, 900
pounds of wool were sold here tonight.
Prices ranged from 61s to 81 cents.
Corbin, May & Co.. of Boston, took
25O,00 pounds, and Jeremia Williams

1t is an unlocked for demand among
wool houses for the staple, and prices
realized here are much better than
had been expected and better than
the current quotations in the east
would seem to warrant. The compe-
Triton among buyers is singular in
view of the fact that market reports
have asserted for some weeks that
prices in the west were relatively
higher than eastern quotations. Me-

ROMERO ON SILVER.
STIMULATES THE DEVELOPMENT
OF HOME INDUSTRIES.
1t Has Several Great Advantages,
Upon Which the Mexican Minister
Lays Stress.

New York, May 29.-Senor Romero,
the Mexican minister to Washington,
contributes to the June Number of the
North American Review an article
which is of interest in it's bearings
upon the discussion of the silver stand
ard. In Mexico, he says, it encourages
very largely the increase of export of
domestic products. The silver stand
ard also stimulates the development of
home manufactures, the price of for
eign commodities being so high that
it pays well to make some Of them at
home.
One great advantage on which Ro-
nero lays stress is that the low price
of silver abroad would be Improbable
to export it. The circulation is, there
fore, increased so there is now an am
Pile supply of money in the banks,
which stimulates industry, maintains
prices and increases the demand for
labor. On the other hand he points
out that the silver standard has
greatly reduced importatio4s and that
the import duties which until recently
were the largest source Of Mexican
revenue, are therefore much dimin-

Loss OF LIFE.
Company's Hopeful view Not Shared
by others.

San Francisco. May 29.-Twenty-fouT
hours have passed since the news Of the
loss of the steamship Colima off the
Mexican coast was received in this city,
and the officials of the Pacific Mail COM
pany are as much in the dark as ever
with regard to the loss of life With the
exception of a brief dispatch from Man
zanillo giving the names of fourteen pas
sengers and five members of the crew
who were picked UP by the steamship
San Juan not a word has been received
about the disaster and the fate of the
other ISL persons on the ship is in doubt.
Meagre as is the information about the
loss of the Colima, the officers of the
company do not believe the loss of life
was as heavy as reported. This hopeful
view of the case is not shared, however,
by the friends and relatives of the pas
sengers and crew in this city. The ship
was lost Monday night, and the fact that
only one small boatload of passengers
had been picked up leads many to believe
that the vessel went down so rapidly that
the others did not have an opportunity to

W. P. WEIGH, who was chief deputy

600.
The report of the committee on bills
and overtures was tlsen taken up, and
the question of seminary control was
finally disposed of. The majority re-
port proposed that the general assem-
bly, have the veto power, and also the
authority to remove professors from
the seminaries for unsoundness in the
faith. The minority report was the
same except that IT stipulated that
professors should not be removed
without first being given a trial. In
today's discussion, it was found that
the signers of the majority report had
intended that any professor charged
given a trial before refoval, but the
report had not stated so. Conse-
quently there was no serious division
on the question and a resolution was
passed embodying these propositions.

synods having control of the theologi-
cal seminarieS with "a view to the ad-

stiu Holding Out.

In support of their optimistic views OF
the situation, the officers of the company
assert that the Colima was so well
equipped with small boats that she could
hardly have gone to the bottom quickly
enough TO prevent everybody on board
from getting away in safety. General
Passenger Agent Avery, who has tray
erSed the route many times, says the
ocean in the vicinity of Manzanillo is as
quiet as a mill pond at this time of year,
and the deep water along the coast en-
ableS steamers to make the entire trip to
Panama in sight of land. At night, he
says, they usually go out a mile or two
of land. He argues, therefore, that if the
Colima went down Monday night, as re-
ported, the accident could hardly have
been severe enough to prevent The small
boats being lowered and everybody get
ting away in safety. He believes the pas
SengerS and crew got safely away from
the Colima. before she sank, and are now
floating about in a boat in a becalmed
sea if, indeed, they have not already
reached shore. He says that if the boats
had reached shore in safety the news OF
the event would probably not be received
here for day or two, from the fact that
telegraph offices on that part of the Mex
lean coast are few and the facilities poor.
The wires are strung on trees, and mes
sages are often delayed for days. In sup
port of this assertion he cites the fact
that the company mas not been unable to
communicate with its agent at Manzanillo
since the news Of the accident was re-
ceiVed.
