SENATOR CHANDLER SPEAKS.
Believes Bi-metalism is Sure VIM
ner and Gives Good Reasons Why.

DENVER, Oct. FIN a letter to
T. G. Kayton, secretary Of the re-
publican state league Of Colorado,
urging republicans Of this to firm
stand with the national organiza-
ton, Senator Chandler, Of New
Hampshire, says:
"The republican party will go
into the next presidential battle
pledged to bi-metalism, which, l
believe as sure as right is right,
will win. On the other hand the
democratic leaders, the men who
dominate and control its national
influence, patronage and organi-
zation, are gold monometalists.
President Cleveland and his ad-
ministration are absolutely in the
hands OF l.. Pierpout Morgan
and his syndicate of bankers. They
are all against silver as money
metal and they are committed to
gold monometalism. With the
patronage of the government, with
money manipulated by VIM. G.
Whitney and Calvin Brice, the
Democracy are hopelessly sub
jugated and their next national
convention will be as hostile to
the principles of bimetalism as
are the English creditors who pro.
pose to exact the pound Of flesh
from their debtors in all parts OF
the world. 1t is thought folly that
any bimetalist should concede
that anything but gold monome-
talism can come from another
Democratic national victory.
We bimetalists outnumber the
gold monometalists Of the world
100 to l, and need not fear that we
shall not eventually succeed. With
a practical suggestion 1 close: A
bimetalic conference held in the
United States will be attended by
representatives from all the west.
ern hemisphere and from the gov
ernments of Russia, France, Japan
and China. Bimetalic organizations
in Canada, India, and every other
country will send delegates. The
decision of the conference that the
nations should coin silver without
limit at ratio Of 154 to l will be
irresistible,n

CAREFUL TERRELL.

His Energy No Doubt Has Saved
Many Lives of Americans.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-By the
request of Minister Terrell for the
protection of American missions in
Turkey and at the instance OF the
state department the navy depart.
ment has ordered the Marblehead
to the Gulf of Iskendesoon, (Gulf
of Alexandria,. Minister Terrell
also telegraphed that orders had
been issued for all provinces to
protect Americans. 1t Is not be-
lieved that there is immediate
danger OF another outbreak, but
the warship has been ordered to
Turkey rather as precautionary
measure. Last summer Admiral
kirkland took his two ships, the
San Francisco and the Marblehead,
into these same waters. There was
no actual rioting in progress but
the situation had threatening as
pect. Though the American ships
could not get near the most dis
turbed provinces, the effect Of their
presence on the coast was most
salutary, impressing the people,
who perhaps, never before had
seen an American man-of-war,
with a visible sense Of the power OF
this country. 1t is surmised that
Minister Terrell feels the time
is now opportune to revive this
impression. The state department
is gratified with the energetic
course of Mr.. Terrell and his dis
patch indicates that he has fore
stalled the representatives OF other
powers and secured the compli-
ance OF the Porte with his demands,
made early in the week, that steps
be taken to protect Americans in
the provinces distant from Con-
stantinople, without waiting until
they actually have suffered out
RACES and assault. The Marble
head sailed Thursday from Vile
Franche for Naples, where she
should arrive today, at the latest.
From there to the Levant is a dis
lance of about HOO miles, which
she should cover in about four
days, so that she will be at Alex
andria about the middle of next

Torpedoing the Dardanelles.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Oct. 12.-Ad-
vices from Trebizond say that 200
persons were killed or wounded
during the rioting there between
Turks and the Armenians. A COM
munication made public by the
Turkish government says that Ar
menians at Trebizond attacked the
Musselmen before the authorities
could intervene and that 80 persons
were killed or wounded on both
sides. 1t is added that the Arme-
mans of Rodosta also tried to at
tack the Musselmen of that place,
but they were prevented from so do
ing by the police. During the
fight an Armenian was killed by a
policeman. The last patches Of
Armenians left the churches Of
Stamtiol, in which they had sought
refuge, yesterday, in the presence
of the Dragomen of the different
ambassadors, the government hav.
ing promised that the refugees
should not be molested. None OF
the Armenians were arrested. The
Dragomen received an ovation
from the Armenian popula-
ton. The sultan during the day
sent a message to Sir Phillip Cur
rie, the British amba ssador, ex-
pressing his satisfaction at the pro-
gress OF measures taken by the
am bassadors to clear the Armenian
church refugees. Later Sir Phillip
had an audience with the sultan,
and at the latter's request, Osman
Bey was sent to Besika bay, near
the entrance to the Dardenelles, to
survey sites for forts there.
Three vessels laden with ammu-
milton have been dispatched to the
forts of the Dardenelles, and 1t is
now known beyond a doubt that
the work of laying submarine
mines in the straits has COM
menced.

Judge Green this morning disposed o

dismissed by District Attorney Levy,
A case against Dr. q. Il. gilbert
charged with petty larceny, was dismiss

In case against Hiram Steel, charged

as default'ng witnesses, returnable at the
next term of court.
The case against Fabian Leimgruoer,
charged with assault to murder, was as
missed"
Now it requires just one minute
to dismiss each one OF the above
four cases, making four minutes
and Just two minutes each to
forfeit the bond and fine the wit
nesses in the other two cases,
making four minutes more; and
the grand jury also reported to the
court eight new bills OF indict-

Thus the court on bright Octo-

Why those thirteen minutes cost
as follows, to-wit: Thirty-slx

payment of exorbitant fees to New York
counsel; large sums for political purposes
and salaries for receivers at the rate
of $4,000 a year. This, he says, is too
much. He considers that there is no

Decision Of the Cup Committee
in the Great Race.
INFRINeeD THE RULES
And Consequently Lost the Race
The Feeling in New York
Divided.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE Va,kyrie and
the Defender were measured tonight for
the third time preparatory to tomorrow's $
races. The Englishmen were all curt
in manner and reserved in words. They
seemed to desire to let their American
callers know that they were deeply hurt
at the action Of the regatta committee in
awarding yesterdays race to the Defend
er. The following is the letter OF the
cup committee of the New York Yacht
Club sustaining the protest Of c. Oliver
Iselin, on behalf of the Defender, regard
ing the foul claimed against the Valkyrle:
New York Yacht. Club to C. Oliver Ise-
lin. Esq.
Dear Strive beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your letter of yesterday protest
ing the Valkyrie.
1--WE have given the matter our careful
consideration and believe the foul oc-
Cured through miscalculation of distance
between the two yachts at the critical
moment From our observation sus-
tanned by that of the others who were In
good position to see, we find that the
Valkyrle, in contraventlon Of Section 2,
of yachting rule No. 16, bore down upon
the Defender and fouled her by a swing
of her main boom when luffing to
Straighten her course. We also consider
that the Defender allowed the Vaikyrle
sufficient room to windward to pass clear
of the committee boat.
"Your protest is therefore sustained"
The committee also posted the following
on the bulletin board Of the New York
Yacht Club house:
ITO members of the New York Yacht
Club
"Your committee beg to state that be-
fore arriving at the decision on the
Defenders protest they endeavored to
bring about mutual agreement between
the respective yachts to resail yester-
days race, but each preferred that the
committee should pass Judgment
OF course most persons Upheld the
committee from patriotic motives, IL
nothing else. There were good many,
however, who championed the Valkyrle
and her cause. There were others who
thought the committee ought to have
given the race to the Valkyrie because
the Defender had beaten her anyhow,
and a verdict favorable to the English
men would have had no other effect than
to make necessary one more race.
