w. W. Waters. Peter Maher. Steve ODon-

from engaging in or fostering prize fights
in the city of Hot Springs, or elsewhere
in the state of Arkansas. The injunction
was issued at the instance of the state Of
Arkansas ex rel, Il. B. kinswOrthy.
The petition recites at great length the
history of the projected prize fights and
declares that ''As the officers of Hot
Springs are engaged in the conspiracy, the
Threatened crimes cannot be stopped by
ordinary methods and the fights will be
held unless stopped by the court"
This injunction was admitted on all
hands to be the knockout blow to the
hopes of the Hot Springs club The writ
is not returnable until twenty days from
date and although a motion to dissolve
could be made in the meantime, there is
little hope that Chancellor Martin would
entertain it, much less grant it.
A delay Of 20 days in pulling off the fight
would be as fatal as 20 weeks orr 20 years.
and any attempt TO violate the injunction
would be surely followed by imprsson-
ment for contempt of court

ing to various bands in the province OF
Matanzas have surrendered to the govern

Denver. Col, Nov. 1.-Under the aus
pices Of the chamber of commerce, a
large and enthusiastic meeting of sym
pathlzers with Cuba was held last night.
Mayor McMurray, Gov. Mcintyre, Rev.
Father Organ and Others spoke at some
length and were cheered uproariously.
The speakers strongly advocated inde-
pendence for the island and boldly depre-
Gated the perpetuation Of European mon-
archies contiguous to American soil.
Strong emphasis was laid on the fact
that Spain was the first TO recognize the
confederacy in indecent haste, and that
action was urged as sufficient to Justify
the United States in extending belliger-
ent rights to the Cubans. The resolutions
received from Chicago were adopted witn-
out a dissenting voice.
Washington, Nov; 1,--Enthusiastic Gu
ban meetings were held last night at Far
go, N. D.. Ottumwa, ILL.,, Kankakee, ILL.,,
Decatur, ILL.,, Marshaltown, Ia, Fort
Wayne, Ind, and other places, at which
resolutions Of sympathy for Cuba and cali
ing on the government TO recognize the
insurgents as belligerents were adopted.
The state department has received a
telegram from Ramon Williams, the Uni
ted States consul general at Havana, sta
ting that the case of Jose Martinez Con-
zales has been quashed, and his release
ordered by the captain general, and the
case of NictorianO Nalit Perez has been
transferred to the civil courts.
Gonzales was arrested on suspicion, in
the latter part of September by the civil
authorities at Sagua Ia Grande, and was
released after seven days detention. lie
was at once rearrested by the military
authorities and thrown into prison. He
claims to be an American citizen.
Perez also claims to be an American
citizen. He was arrested at Sagua la
Grande on Aug. II last for proposing
reasonable acts. The case was reported
to the department, and the transfer of his
case to the civil jurisdiction was requested
hv the consul general at Havana.

UPRISING or THE ARMENIANs.
They Are Said to Have started the
Trouble at BItIis and ZeitOun.

London, Nov. 1.-The Standard will to-
morrow publish a dispatch from Constan-
tinople saying that information from a
trustworthy source connected with one OF
the embassies fully confirms the Turkish
statements that the riots at Btlis and
Zeitoun were iniatiated by Armenians in
response to orders from the Armenian
national committee.
The population of Bitlls is 5000, or
which number about 1900 are Armenians
and 1900 Kurds. The Armenians re-
moved their yaluables TO the suburbs on
the night preceding the riOting. They set
fire in two places to the Mussulmau's quar-
ters of the city on the following day and
attacked the mosque nearest the Christian
quarter
After killing the major Of the gendarmes
and five men the Armenians burned the
Mohammedan village or Barli.
The Constanunople correspondent OF
the Times telegraphs that he has learned
the names of the members OF the "1mnis-
sion OF control and adds; 'Of the three
Turks two are nullities ant one an IN
triguer of the Christians, one is clever
and strong. another clever and weak. an /
the third is an admirable whist player.

the Andria and Elabistan districts. Fur

THEY DON'T GO HOME TO VOTE.
A Great Change That Has Been

a Great Change That Has Been
Worked by Civil Service Reform.
Washington, Nov. LIN the good old
days when every department clerk was
politician filled with devotion to his
party, there would be a stir in Washing
ton on the eve of an election. The out
going trains would be loaded down with
employees going home 10 vote. and. alto
gether, there would be an activity which
is now strangely lacking
The civil service has brought about the
change The department clerk nowadays
knows that he can keep his place as
long as he behaves himself and does his
work, and he has lost all personal inter-
est in the result of the election. In the
olden days he felt il a compulsory duty
his vote and see that his friends were
in line. Now he does nothing OF the sort.
He chuckles to himself because he saves
the amount of his railroad fare, and
on election day he walks down to the
newspaper offices and looks at the buIie-
tins. This is the rule. The exception is
the clerk who still feels some devotion
to party, and who thinks that his indi-
Vidual vote is of some consequence.
This is not an exaggeration. A prom
inent official of the Pennsylvania railroad
here told me to-day that the civil SER
vice in the departments meant the loss
of thousands of dollars of revenue to
that road. In the hey-day of republican
administration there were organizations
Of clerks here representing almost every
state in the union, and these organiza-
tiOns made il a point to see that all the
clerks We're shipped to their voting
places. Indifference then meant loss Of
place. Nowadays unless a clerk lives
close to the district, say in Maryland,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York,
or New England, he stays in Washington
and let's the less unfortunate politician at
home do the work

This Nations Course During the War
With China Appreciated.

Washington, Nov. 1-Shinichiro Kurino,
the japanese minister. paid a visit TO the
white house to-day and presented to Pres
ident Cleveland an autograph letter from
the Emperor Of Japan, thanking the PresI-
dent and the government of the United
States for the good offices exercised to-
ward bringing about peace between China
and Japan. The Emperor of China sent a
similar letter of thanks to the President
some time ago. Mr.. Kurino was pre-
sented to the President to-day by Secre-
tary Olney. He was also accompanied
py keisherid Matsui, secretary OF the
japanese legation.
The text of the letter follows
Mutshuito, by the grace of heaven, EN-
peror OF Japan, seated on the throne oc-
cupled by the same dynasty from time
immemOrial,
His Excellency, Grover Cleveland. Pres
ident of the United States of America;
Great and Good Friend-During the war
which has now happily been brought to
an end by the conclusion of a treaty of
peace, the diplomatic and consular Off
GERS of the United States in China with
your eXcellency's gracious permission and
acting under your eXcellency's wise d.
rection, extended their friendly offices to
our subjects in China and on many occa-
sions atorded them succor and assistance.
Again, as the war was nearing its final
stage the representatives OF the United
States at Toxic and Pekin by your excel
lencys authorization, paved the way
whereby China was able to approach di-
rectly our government on the subject of
peace, and it was through the facilities af-
forded by those two representatives for
direct reciprocal communication between
the governments of Japan and China, that
all the preliminaries looking to the COM
pletion Of negotiations for the definite ter
mination of hostiiities, were adjusted.
The manner in which those delicate SER
vices in the interest of peace were perform
ed left nothing to be desired and we make
this opportunity to express to your excel
lency our high appreciation of these acts
on the part of your eXcellency, as well
as on the part Of your excellency's Of
ticers, acting under your eXcellency's wise
direction, which not only tended to miti-
gate the seventies and hardships of the
war, and finally to promote the successful
issue of the negotiations for peace, but
served to draw still closer the bonds of
friendship and good neighborhood which
happily unite our two countries.
We assure your eXcellency of our high
est regard and esteem. Mutsuhito.
Done at our palace at Kioto, the 18th day
of the 5th month of the 2Sth year of Meizi

TWO CLERKS PROMOTED.
One Made Solicitor for "A Department
and the other a Bureau Chief.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The important le-
gal position of solicitor for the state de-
partment, which was left vacant through
the resignation Of w. d. Dabney to ac-
cept chair of law at the University of vir-
ginia, was filled to-day by the President
in the appointment Of Walter Emerson
Faison of North Carolina.
Secretary Olney also filled another i'm
portant place in his department, appoint
ing Frank A. Brknagan of Ohio as chief
of the bureau of accounts, the position
from which Francis Kieckhoefer resigned
last week as a result of the investigation
into the conduct of his office. Both ap-
pointments were made on merit, and both
appointees entered the service of the gov
ernment under civil service rules.
Mr. Faison has been chief of the con-
sular bureau of the state department for
two years. On receiving an appointment
to a clerical position as a result of a COM
petitive examination, he was assigned to
the consular bureau and was gradually
advanced to its head He is a lawyer and
has had considerable experience in the
work which the solicitor is called on to
perform.
Mr. Branagan, like Mr. Faison, is a
young man. A clerical position in the
Treasury Department was his first assign
ment under the civil service and he serv-
ed there for few years. During Mr..
Cleveland's first administration Mr.. Bran
agan was made appointment clerk of the
department of justice as the result of an
examination into the clerical records of
a number of employees of the government.
He held that position up to to-day, exercis-
ing also duties of disbursing officer of the
attorney generals office. When Mr.. Olney
was attorney general he was thrown into
confidential relations with Mr.. Branagan
and was impressed by his ability, and the
vacated by Mr.. Kieckhoefer is a natural
consequence of that acquaintanceship.
