THE PORTE IS WARNED.
Immediate Investigation and Future
Protection is Formally
Demanded.

Constantinople, Oct. 6, via Sofa, Oct.
THE representatives of the six powers
have SEN a collective note to the Turkish
government calling attention to the in
adequate measures taken by the police
authorities to maintain public tranquility
in Co~nstantinople and it's suburbs and
demanding the prompt institution of a
rigorous inquiry into the recent riOting,
bloodshed and wholesale Imprisonment
of Armenians here. In addition, the
powers demand the release of all prison
ers who are innocent of w~rongdoing and
the cessation of arrests.
Said Pasha, the new Turkish minis
ter for foreign affairs, has called at the
different embassies and has presented to
the representatives of the powers a COM
munication from the Turkish govern
ment repeating the assurance that Il plan
for reform in Armenia has been accepted
by the Porte. 1t is not believed, how
ever, that this will satisfy the covers.
There a VI been no further eXcesses, al
though a feeling of great disquiet still
prevails, and fresh demonstrations upon
the part of Armenians are feared. The
Armenians, who are still inside the patri-
archaic church here, III which they
sought refuge after tie rioting of Mon
day last, fired some shots at noon today
and it was feared that another outbreak
was imminent.
The police watching the building
promptly notified the military authorities
and a strong force of troops was sent
to the spot. The soldiers immediately
blocked all the adjacent streets. This
action of the military caused quite a
panic among the inhabitants of that
quarter and they fed from their homes
in all directions. The Kurds then entered
the work shops among the quays and eX-
PEELED from them all the Armenians they
could find. Later, it is claimed, the
bodies of four Armenians were found.
There is one feature of the police work
which is attracting considerable atten-
ton. 1t is frequently recalled that the
gendarmes, while making arrests, re-
peatedly told the persons taken into Gus
tody to 'call upon England to deliver
you" Those who know the way of Turk
ish officials say that this shows the police
were instructed to impress upon the
minds of the Armenians that Great Brit
ain was unable or unwilling to assist
them in this
Finally many quarters of STEAMBOAT
have been placarded with notices melting
the populace against 1.-The infidels." The
police. 1t is true. tear down these placardS,
but they are either unable or unwilling
to do so before they have been widely
read and have had the effect anticipated
upon the Mohammedan population. 1t
is not claimed that the government is re-
sponsible for this agitation, but the work
is being done and the government appar-
emily is unable to put 4 stop to it.
London. Oct. 1t was officially stat
ed this afternoon that the recent disturb
ances at ~Constantinople will not stop
the negotiations with Great Britain and
the powers are carrying on with the
Turkish government looking to reform
in the administration of Armenia.

son states that Capt. Smith and his two
companions were prospecting on the
south fork of Snake river at the south

NEGRO'S AWFUL TORTURE.
Fingers Mashed to Jelly, Ears Cut Off
and Body Riddled.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. 5.-Neal
Smith, the negro who assaulted and prob
ably murdered Maggie Henderson at Cole
City, was taken from the stockade used
for combining prisoners by a mob of not
less than 200 men. The sheriff and Jail
er, Ed Cox, with several men, were Oh
guard, but the crowd refused to listen
to reason and threatened to tear down
the st0ckade and burn it unless Smith
was delivered. Smith was then turned
over to the crowd, who led him to a.
point near where the assault was COM
mitted. He confessed his guilt and was
then treated to torture which is unparal-
leled in history.
After being mutilated in a fearful man
ner by the father, William Henderson,
who subsequently cut off the negro's
ears, he was seized and held while one
of the Grove pounded his fingers, joint by
joint, one finger at a time, until the hand
was a shapeless mass Of bloody jelly.
This was because in the struggle to sub
due Miss Henderson he had bitten off
one of her fingers. Each man in the
crowd then took a turn at Shooting at him
until, when he died, he must have had
four or five pounds of lead in him. He
was literally shot to pieces and the
bloody pulp which only an hour before
had been Neal Smith was thrown into
a hastily prepared pile of b~rushwood and
burned until not a scrap Of bone re-

PROSECUTE BANK EMBEZZLERS,
United States Government to Teach Them
a Salutary Lesson.

%
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 5.-The United
States government, represented by Unit
ed States District Attorney John c..
Black and National Bank Examiner
John G. McKeon, yesterday took steps
to teach ~defaulting bank employees a
salutary lesson.
Harry j. L. Martin, for seven years
teller for the Commercial National bank,
was arrested on a warrant sworn out
by Mr.. McKeon, charging him with
embezzling $4100. Martin confessed to
the bank examiner three days ago ne
was short, and an examination proving
the truth of his admission, Comptroller
of the Currency Eckels ordered the law
department to take the case in hand.
Later in the day another bank thief
was hauled up by Mr.. McKeOn. This
victim of Uncle Sans determination to
stop peculation IN financial institutions
under his supervision was Joseph Fl.
Wilson, paying teller of the Illinois Ma
tional bank. who, with Receiving Teller
Benjamin Jones, stole $4,000 of that
concerns money. Wilson was dumb
founded when placed under arrest, as the
guarantee company which was on his
bond and personal friends had made
good the amount he stole from the bank.
But this is no palliation of his offense
in the eyes of the government. and he
will be prosecuted just as vigorously
as if he had not returned enc cent of the.
stolen money
