LONDON, Oct. 26.-(New York World
Cable-Special Telegram Banker Rose has
added nothing to his popularity, even in
Er gland, by withdrawing his challenge for
the Americas cup. His action is so fully
recognized as due purely to social pressure,
and his original challenge to have been
likewise due to social aspirations alone, that
his letter of withdrawal meets only with
contemptuous comment in the public press
or in the clubs. Judging by what could be
learned of his character at the time Of the
challenge, and through general information
concerning the hostile feeling in the Royal
Yacht Squadron, with the unlimited social
power of the organization, l cabled you as far
back as September 2S, last, that the belief
was confident among leading yachtsmen of
London that this challenge would come to
nothing. Meanwhile English yachtsmen are
debating whether another challenge from Lord
Dunraven himself would be accepted by the
New York Yacht club Various reports of
extremely bitter sentiment against him per-
sonally among members of the New York
club are current here, and many alleged
and injudicious public and private remarks
are quoted as having been made by him
Barney Barnato, the impossible South
African millionaire was credited a few weeks
ago with a burning desire to challenge; but
as the shadow of the Royal Squadron's dis
pleasure has doubtless quenched his ardor no
one believes any responsible English yachts
man will again challenge, this year at
least, and patriotic Americans abroad hope
that the New York club will find means to
refuse a challenge from another Englishman
seeking only notorlety.
DEATH OF MRS. EUSTIS.
First. Secretary Vignaux at Paris has Just

failure, but that Mrs. Eustis had been aing

the ambassadors residence at Avenue Kleber,

TURKISH ATROCITIES ARE AWFUL
authority, being many years in official posi-
tion under the Turkish government, sends
me the following graphic pictures of the hor-
rors Of the recent riots and the political out
look at Stamboul:
II arrived in time for the massacres. The
fiendsh vndictiveness of the Turks, both
soldiers and the mob, is nauseating. Ar
rests, massacre and torture continue without
any prospect of abatement. Cart loads OF
Armenian corpses are emptied nightly in the
Marmora. The Turks of the capital are like
tigers who have tasted blood; they are by
no means satiated yet. The Turkish govern
ment has not only done nothing to dscour-
age the murderous mob, but its police looked
on calmly at the massacre of Armenians in
cold blood at night in the Kassim Pasha dis
trict and elsewhere. Two thousand victims
is an underestimate Europeans are getting
scared. One thing is certain-that the eli
max of atrocity is not yet reached. 1t is
equally certain the Turks will only listen
to the argument of violent force. They
laugh at English diplomacy. They feel that
the present English government will not for
one reason and another attempt to force the
Dardanelles. They are in awe, OF course, of
Russia, but feel convinced also that Russia
will do nothing for the moment, out of
covert antagonsm to England, and so the
matter stands. 1t cannot remain as IL is
very much longer. Europe must be ready
any moment for big Turkish sensation pos
sibly a massacre of Europeans in CONSTANT
nople
II am convinced that Armenians can find
no other means of salvation than that which
the Bulgarians and BalkanSla found-the
soldiers OF the czar; the sooner the better.
One development of these atrocities is the
precipitation of a commercial crisis here.
Armenians hold the bulk Of the commerce
in their hand. They have all struck work
and closed their places Of business all over
the city. Business everywhere is at a stand
still"
NEW EXPONENT OF WAGNER.
An American girl, who, in an interview
published this morning, says she is the
daughter Of the late Mr.. Strong, once mayor
of Brooklyn and state senator, has jumped
at one bound into quite a remarkable mu-
steal prominence. Her first public appear
ance on any stage anywhere was as "Siegli-
ande" in THE Valkyre" at Covent Garden
last week. Yet the foremost of English mu-
steal critics says this morning that in my
opinion Miss Strong is destined to become the
foremost interpreter of Wagner" She has
been a pupil of Francis Korbay, formerly of
New York, but now in London, since she
was 16-and she confesses to %. She is
rather below usual height, but her splendid
voice seems to make up for her physical dis
advantages as the "Neibalungen" heroine.
She says she sang before Frau Wagner at
Bayreuth last summer, and was offered an
engagement, which however, she has not
yet accepted.
All the French property Of the late comte
de Paris is to be auctioned of next month at
the Palas de Justice, Paris, as the result
OF a friendly settlement between the heirs.
