The horse show will be opened to-mor-
row morning with cavalry drill by Troop
A of the National Guard. They will be
followed by display of lassoing by the
mounted park policemen, and in the
afternoon there will be parade of all
the horses in the show in different classes.
At 1890 P. NJ. President Crocker and the
directors will give lunch in the cafe up
stairs, to which they have invited the Gov
ernor, Mayor Sutro, Mayor Davie of Oak
land, members of the press, the judges and
stockholders. There have been about 125
invitations sent out. The table will be ar
ranged in the shape of a horseshoe.
Mckinney, 2:11H, followed by his SOM
Tombro, was the first of the equine "4O0'
to show up at the Pavilion. They were
taken in by their owner, G. A. Durfee of
Los Angeles. John f. Boyds string of
dozen thoroughbre DIS followed shortly
after. and by night many of the stalls were
filled.
Everything will be in shape for to-
morrow's opening in good time. as the
directors have kept ahead with their work
and are not worrying themselves as much
as they ere last year..
The boxes are all sold and nearly all the
managers anticipate much larger attend
ance than last year, particularly as the
price of admission during the daytime has
been reduced to so cents with no seats re-
served.
Governor Budd will not attend on the
opening night as he at first intended, but
will be there with his staff Wednesday.
Three boxes have been reserved for his

that came in yesterday will be exercised

These, with the boxes, will give seating
capacity of nearly 1000. Another welcome
change that has been made is the WIDEN

the people to pass from the seats to the
promenades and back with comfort The
seats have all been divided into sections,
which are indicated with large placards
giving the letters and numbers that corre-
spond to those on the tickets, so that hold
ers may see at glance where their places
are.
A squad of forty ushers were being
drilled yesterday. None of them were
professional ushers, but most of them
acted in the same capacity at the last
show and few complaints were made.
President Crocker said yesterday that
many of the visitors did not seem last year
to appreciate the fact that they were en-
titled to go through the stables to look at

TOO EXPERT WITH A PEN,
Arrest of the Secretary and
Manager of an Abstract
Company.
By Series of Forged instruments
]. E. Alpaugh Secured
Large Sum.

PERRY, Iowa, Dec. 1.-Some extensive
forgeries were uncovered here to-day, and
as result j. E. Alpaugh secretary and
manager of the Dallas County Abstract
Company, is under arrest, charged with
the crime. He was arrested at the in
stance of Cashier Haas of the Scott County
Savings Bank at Davenport.
Alpaugh has made loans for this bank
for the past eighteen months aggregating
about $4,000. OF this amount about
200 has been secured upon forged in
struments. His plan was to select some
farmer in good circumstances and execute
mortgage upon his farm by forging the
names.
These instruments were sent to the
bank at Davenport and draft payable to
the mortgagor was forwarded to Aipaugh,
who again forged the name and obtained
the money. These instruments were not
put on record, but the Recorders certif-
cate was forged upon them.
Aipaugh. being an expert abstractor and
penman, accomplished the task with ap-
parent ease. He was arrested on four
charges of forging and uttering forged in
struments on John J. Moore for $230O, D.
Wesley $500 and w. f. Nash $l400. He
waived examination and his bond was
placed at $2500 on each charge, or $4,000
on ALL IN default of which he was taken to
the County Jail.

began to pillage and loot the stores and
shops with such rapidity that about 500 of
the Armenian markets and stores were
ruined and sacked in few hours. The
merchants stock of rice, -four. grain and
provisions, the apothecaries' drugs, the
tradesmen's tools and the carpenters
benches even were not exempted from the
general plunder and booty.
"The Turkish citizens in their stores
and places of business were constantly en-
couraging the pillagers and calling out to
them to be faithful and loyal to their duty
against the enemies of Allah (God). Even
the soldiers and officers took part IN the
pillage. Serbahan and Mutuni were sacked
and burned. A great many lives also were
sacrificed. The population of the nearest
villages, especially Serbahan and Mutuni,
barefooted and half naked, leading their
children by their hands, fled to the city.
These fugitives and most of the popula-
ton of the city are naked and on the verge
of starvation. Even if they had money
they could not buy any bread because all
of the bakeries are closed.
"The abject poverty, the burning vii
lagos from day to day, the constant fear OF
fresh massacres, the danger that the chol-
era which generally follows the crowding
OF the people together, will break out, the
fact that the markets have been robbed
and destroyed, the distressing destitution
of the people, all these calamities have re-
duced the poor people to such dreadful
condition that language of man is not
able to describe it."

Patriots for Freedom.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1.-Robert
R. Hit of Illinois, one of the ablest and
best posted men who have ever dealt with
foreign affairs in Congress, and who will
be chairman of the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee in the next House, is firmly of the
belief that one of the first acts of Congress
should be the passage of a resolution rec
ogniZing the Cuban insurgents as belli-
gerents.
Mr.. Hit is thorough American, and is
disgusted with the contemptibly weak,
impotent, vaclIlating policy of the present
administration. Mr.. Hit will also have q
resolution introduced from his committee
scoring the administration for its Hs-
waiian policy Mr.. HIT saws he is not
prepared to say yet whether he will intro
duce bill for the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands, but an intimate friend of
his said that it would be one of the first
things to demand Hits attention.
Lemuel Ely Quigg, member of Con-
gress and editor of the New York Press,
said TO THE CALL correspondent tonight:
81 certainly will support any resolution
which recognizes Cubans as belligerents,
and l believe that such a resolution would
be passed through both houses with hur-
rah that would make Grover dizzy"
Grove L.. Johnson, the able and intrepid
Congressman from California, says that
members Of Congress, except a few euckoos
who stu remain in the House, will, with
out respect to party, support a resolution
recognizing the belligerency of the insur-
gents. Indeed this seems to be the opinion
of score OF prominent men with whom

On going aboard the customs officers were
informed that the vessel had no cargo, but
on searching in the forecastle large sup

1t is thought that the vessel was proceed

DESTITUTION At HARPOOT.
There Is Great Danger of Hundreds o
Armeninns Starting to Death.


Armeninns Starting to Death.
LONDON, Eng, Dec. 1.-The represen-
tative at Constantinople of The United
Press, telegraphing under yesterday date,
pictures q pitible condition of affairs at
Harpoot, where the American mission
buildings were burned at the time of the
recent massacre there. The representa-
tive of The United Press has received ad-
vices from Harpoot showing that there is
great danger of hundreds of the poorer
classes of Armenians starving to death.
the peril that confronts these people is an
immediate one. They are absolutely with
out food and without the means of getting
any.
The American missionaries have sent
thousands of dollars to relieve this dis
tress, put the sums furnished by them
have gone only little way to ward off the
famine which threatens. The money has
been expended as advantageously as pos
sible, but there are so many persons who
are homeless, foodless and helpless that
nothing but Government relief will save
them from great disaster.
The people are now in condition of
apathy, and many of them, it is believed,
would welcome death at the hands of their
enemies rather than to wait the slow pro-
cess of starvation. Some, however, who
have little money, or who have been Sc
cretiy assisted by comparately we.l-to-do
compatriots, are fleeing to small places in
the interior, where they hope to better
their miserable condition. They run the
risk of being nassacred en- route as the
Government will furnish them not the
slightest protection.
Those Armenians who have fled to Con-
stantinople think that in the capital they
would be more or less under the protec-
tion of the represen tatives of the various
powers, but have found their hopes dashed
to the ground. Perhaps if they were al
lowed to remain they might find The pro-
lection they seek. At any rate it is pretty
certain that they would be safe from cold
blooded massacre, but the Government in
the case of the refugees, is enforcing the
principle OF serfdom, that every subject is
bound to the soil, and every day large
numbers of Armenians are arrested. AT
night they are shipped in patches to the
places where they were born with the
warning that it will be better for them to
remain there.

NOW A MENTAL WRECK,
Parnell's Mother Imagines That
She Is on the Way to
Ireland.
She Is Confined in the Trinity Hos.
pital and Can Not Long
Survive.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. "A morning
paper says: Mrs. Della Stewart Parnell is
now lying in Trinity Hospital. No. so
Varick street, a mental and physical wreck.
She thinks she is on her way to Ireland to
see her famous children for the last time,
and then to return to her native land,
where she may depart in peace.
The most casual observer looking at
Mrs. Parnell, now an octogenarian, may
we'll doubt if she is capable of crossing the
Atlantic at this, or, indeed, at any season
of the year. Her days seem to be num-
.bered, and the probability is that she will
never more see the land for which she and
her sons and daughters have made such
sacrifices.
1t is possible, such is the vitality of
which she is possessed, that were it not
for the cowardly assault upon her in
Bordentown last spring, Mrs. Parnell
would live many years, but, judging from
present appearances it would be a mis-
take for her to leave her present asylum,
even were she physically capable.
A month or so ago Mrs. Parnell left
Ironsides, where she had lived so long,
and coming to this city resided tempo
rarily with her friend, Mrs. William
Knoud. She was even then quite feeble.
Her intention was to sail for Ireland on
December 1 and visiting Avondale, the
home of the Parnells, prevail upon her
married daughter, Mrs. Dickinson, to ac-
company her to Nice. from the climate of
which she hoped good results.
This plan was frustrated by her failing
health, and in order that she should have
all the care proper to her condition she
was invited by her cousin, Sister Eleanor,
superior of the Trinity Episcopal Hospi-
tai, to take room in that institution.

ScHOOKERS SEIZED BY DANES.
There Has Been No Abatement of the
Piracy Practiced Upon the
Fishermen.

GLOUCESTER. MASS, Dec. 1.-The
fishing schooner Thomas B. Saunderson,
which returned to-day from a fishing
cruise off the Greenland coast. brings in
telligence that in spite of the protest of
the United States Government some
months ago in regard to the seizures bv
Danish cruisers of American fishing ves-
sells for violating the three-mile limit,
the cruisers have not abated their persecu-
tions bit.
The fishing ground south of the DAVIS
strait has proved one of the best on the
Atlantic coast, and is being largely patron
lied by American fishermen. All fish far
outside the limit, but are captured on
some pretext or other and either obliged
to pay fine or be taken to Reikiavik.

who was displeased with his EXcellency
for placing the troops upon the roads
and in a measure checking the saloonists

Prior TO last January the Auditor of
Public Accounts had been paying warrants
drawn upon him for stationery, etc, for
the courts Of the city Of Richmond. About
that time he came to the conclusion that
and not by the State, and since then has
refused TO pay them. 1t has been said
that a mandamus will be sued out to
compel the Auditor To pay. and Colonel
Marye says that when that is done he will
pay, but not before. The counties, he says.
are required to pay all expenses of thelr
courts. and he is perfectly clear that the
same rule applies in the cities. Indeed.
all other cities OF the State except Rich
mond have been paying for stationery
used by their courts and the Auditor does
not propose to make an exception in
Richmond's favor. These courts consume
$1,000 TO 1850 worth Of stationery per an

Victed In the Hastings Court of Roanoke
