TURKEY.

The Condition of the Ottomans Under the
Present Regime Little Better Than
That of the Armenisns-Th Recent
Change In the Ministry Conducive of No
Better Feeling In Political and Diplo-
matte Circles.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. 12-The re-
cent change in the ministry here has
not been conducive of any better feel
ing IN political and diplomatic circles.
In fact the new ministers. generally
speaking. are looked upon ~askance, as
their regulations give no promise OF
any better government than that
hitherto ruling. In fact the members
of the new cabinet are nothing more
than puppets of the sultan and what
ever he wills will be, without ques-
tiouing, law to them.
Halil Rafat Pasha, the new grand
vizier, was formerly minister of the
interior and it is openly charged that
while occupying that position he
foStered the massacre of Christians.
Abdurrahaman Pasha, minister of
justice, once held the grand vizierate,
but was dismissed on n days notice
for lying. Menduh Pasha, minister of
the interior, is reported to be a down.
right scoundrel.
There is the strongest feeling here
against the sultan, due, among many
other things, to his choice of minis
tiers. 1t was thought hat possibly an
attempt might be made on the life of
his majesty as he went from the pal
ace to the mosque in the ceremony
known as the Selamlik. The usual
large number of guards who keep the
route when the sultan goes to the
mosque to offer his prayers was greatly
strengthened and a close watch was
kept on every side for suspicious char
acters by the police and gendarmes.
There is no doubt hat the empire is
passing through one of the most criti-
cal periods that has threatened it for
years The heir to the throne has no
better policy than the sultan, SO
nothing will be gained by deposing
the latter in favor of the former.
Advices from the interior show that
great restitution is prevailing and
hat the suffering from this cause sur
passes that arising from the massa-
ores. A very large number of persons
are homeless and without food and
there is no doubt that the suffering
will increase during the winter. In
several districts a famine is antici-
pated.

THE GRAND BAZAAR.
IL Was a Most Successful Affair and
 Pleasing One.

The ladies of the Trinity have in deed scored a success in raising money to clear the Trinity Episcopal church from debt. Their grand bazaar of all nations was an admirable scheme and it has been one that brought in cash and plenty of it.
 The bazaar was open all day yester- day and many there were who dropped in to see what there was to be seen. Their expressions of delight and grati- fication at the beautiful sight were par donable. The wares that were exposed for sale found ready purchasers, who haggled not over the price, but paid wjh will

One moment there would be for gaze at sunny Japan. with an admiring look alt Yum Yum or her sisters, and the next second would be on the threshold of the land of manana, or the precincts where "Old Glory was unfurled, proclaiming the land of freedom and plenty.
 The ladies in charge of the various booths acquitted themselves admirably and are deserving of commendaiion for their eXertions in a cause so worthy.
 Last night splendid programme was presented to an appreciative audi ence. In some of the booths music was rendered after the programme.
 ALI those who assisted in the affair can have the qualification of knowing that it was the most successful affair of the character ever given in Phoenix.

Telling Effect Of Dynamite Upon

Thieves in Third Story Of the
Bowen Building.
Amount Of Jewely Stolen Aggregates Nearly $4,000.
Gold Rings and Diamonds Stolen
Firms Of WIdpe Saack S. c. ShurteH and " Blake Victims
The Robbers Way the Fire Escapes.

Robbers, with an evident knowledge OF
the fitness OF things, and beyond doubt
experts of the first water got into the third
story of the Bowen building, 107 Friend
ship street, last night, and cleaned out
three jewelry houses at one slap,
leaving nothing but Brownie pin and
90 high kicker" at that. The amount OF
jewelry stolen aggregates nearly $4,000,
even gold scraps and cheap ornaments be-
ing taken, together with an entire stock
of gold rings, and several diamonds.
Two immense steel safes were demol-
ished, dynamite being used on one to
blow the door off, which wos found lying
at the other side of the office, and the
outer door of, the other safe
was pried off. the inner one
being unlocked. The safes were
rifled of everything except books, papers
and checks, the robbers securing a rich
haul OF diamonds. They did not stop TO
clean up the debris, but left as they en-
tered. by means OF the fire escape at the
back Of the building.
The firms robbed are Wildprett &
Saacke, large manufacturers OF solid gold
ripgs, s. &. Shurtleff, arepairing jeweler,
who had considerable stock belonging to
others, and A. v. Blake, manufacturer
and salesman, who lost the contents OF q
sample case containing pins and brooc hes.
Mr.. Wildprett, tho last to leave the
shop last evening, remained there until
past o'clock, Frightening out the nu-
merous orders for today and carefully
locked the doors and windows before de-
parting. Everything seemed rosy to him
then, SO far as his business was concerned,
and the conflicting emotions of surprise,
indignation and disappointment which he
experienced upon entering the office at 6:30
o'clock this morning can be imagined, as
he gazed upon the destruction left in the
trail of the daring blacklegs. With one

glance at the ruined safes, which disclosed
their naked emptiness, he opened the door
of the workshop. Here everything was
found to be in the utmost
confusion. Stools We're overturned. the
benches stripped OF all thoir glittering
stock, which looked so tempting the
night before, and tools thrown about in
promiscuous disorder. Not oven a
scrap OF gold was Jeff.
A glance ct tho broken window
revealed the secret OF the robbers en-
trance. They had gained access TO the
fire escape by means OF board placed
against the building, and clsmbered up to
the third story, the first which seemed to
display sufficient quantities OF the tempt
ing merchandise TO entice their crafty
skill.
The second story Is vacant, and the first
iloor is occupied by Vennerbcck & Clase,
being presumably too near the street for
the neisfious WORK 10 be comfortably
conducted without discovery by the police
or other pesscrs by.
AS soon as the other occupants
OF the premises arrived, they
set about TO calculate their
losses by the nights depredations.
Messrs. Wildprett and Ssacke concluded
that between 5000 and 1900 would recon-
pense them for the loss Of gold rings aud

scraps, and this being the cost price indi-
Gates the immense loss which a retailer
would have suffered.
s. Z. Shurtleff estimates his loss as
about 500, embracing IL or 13 small
diamonds and more or less gold and
silver.
A. V. Blake, whose sample case con-
tanned cheaper line of ornaments, would
be willing to take s175 and call it square.
The police anu detectives were called in
and at once set upon the work, which is
something like searching "for a needle In
a hay mow," the cunning thieves having
left no tell-tale clews behind them.
Great excitement prevails throughout
the jewelry district, comprising many
factories as easy of access as the one
looted, and oil day innumerable callers
have visited the sufferers out of curiosity
or TO proffer sympathy and assistance.
Or course there was no work done at the
shop today, and the large force employed
regretfully took an enforced holiday. 1t
is the intention of those robbed to "grin
and bear il +" and bravely start again at
the earliest possible n oment.
The robbery might have easily been the
work of two men, and probably that
number are implicated.
The building is situated on that side OF
Friendship street which is located in the
central police district.
The usual grist of suspicious arose as
fast as the different occupants of the
building learned OF the robbery this fore
noon. Mr.. j. Herbert Collingwood, who
occupies a room on the same floor as that
OF the firms robbed, is confident that the
crime vas committed by someone famil-
lar with the building and the nature Of he
business carried on in the different de-
partments. In support of his theory
Nc. Collingwood explains that the room

ABSOLUTELY PURE
DINeD WITH THE MAYOR.
A Season of Good Fellowship FCI-
lowing Inauguration.

Following the Inauguration ceremonies
yesterday the City Council held joint
convention In the Empire Room OF the
Trocadero, where they took from the table
q number OF important measures, dis
cussed them without frictfon-and His
Honor the Mayor personally took care of
the appropriation bill.
Not only were the Councilmen and Al
derman the guests of Mayor Olney
at this post inaugural feast but ex-mem-
bers Were there, too, and department OFF,
cials besides. Mayor Tiepke came into
town from the purieus of Pawtucket to
attend the good time and brought with
him don. Frank j. Cannon, member Of
Congress, from Utah, who proved 10 be a
fine addition to an already distinguished
company of good fellows.
The spread from oysters to cake was
consummate piece OF epicurean architec-
ture and after its consumption Mayor
Olney set agoing season of informal
speech making which lasted just long
enough for the burning of two cigars.
Mayor Tiepke made one of his always neat
efforts in which he referred to the neigh
bor cities both seeking expansion into a
"Greater Providence" and "Greater
Pawtucket, respectively, and did not con-
ceal his feeling Of relief TO learn that the
plans for the former did not contemplate
gobbling up the latter.
Mr.. Cannon, the young Congressman
from far-away Utah, spoke with an at
tractive warmth and brilliancy OF ex-
preston that made everybody take TO
him. He pointed ont that In the integrity
and purity of our local municipal and
town governments lie the strength and
integrity of the national government and
OF which the thousands of communities
are the basis.
City Solicitor Colwell was in his accus-
toned felicitous vein, and he made COM
prehensive argument for the two boards
method OF government as conducted in
Providence. His remarks led Colonel
Joseph III. Kendrick to observe that the
meeting had succeeded in getting more
opinions from tie city solicitor on this
occasion than on any previous occasion
during the year.
Other contributors to the flow OF soul
were Councilman Millen, ex-Alderman
Fuller, License Commissioner Burnhem,
Recorder OF Deeds Joyce-his initial
speech, and a good one-ex- Councilm IN

man Mccarthy Alderman Mccarthy

Alderman Winsor moved, and Council
man Joseph III. Kendrick seconded, q vote
of thanks to Mayor Olney which President
Sellew put and 1t was adopted with three
cheers.
The only shadow over the festivity was
due to the absence of Councilman p. j.

around where good company prevails.

and old Councilmen together in social in

DeIavan Hotel Fire Horrors
AcCentuated.
Bodies Found Buried Beneath Iron
Spring Bedsteads.
The Victims Must Have Been SufI0-
Gated While In Bed.

ALBANY, ". Y, Jan. S.-The horrors OF
the Delavan Hotel fire were accen<uated
this morning by the discovery at brief in
tervals of portions of human remains.
No sooner had men started their work
today than they struck several localities
where bones were buried. Coroner Lasch,
in charge, used four wooden boxes,
to deposit them numbered 2, 3 and 4.
No. contained the bones OF two bodies
found at dusk last night at the foot of the
attic staircase. No. held portions of two
bodies dug about 10 feet away from the
staircase this morning. These were
found buried beneath two iron
spring bedsteads. The victims
must have retired and when the
fire broke out were suffocated. No. 3, the
largest box OF the lot, was almost filled up
at the start with portions OF the trunk Of
a body supposed to be male. 1t showed
the thigh bone and several ribs. This
was dug out in the cellar directly over
where the attic staircase terminated.
No. contained a solitary bone dug up
at the north end, about ten feet from the
ovens. 1t was piece OF the temple
bone. In this spot the stencil was
SO great that 1t made the workmen
sick. Several bodies are thought
to be buried there. So many bones
continued to be found that the coroner
increased the number of boxes to six, aud
also sent for alarger one in case body be
found intact.
Portions OF a dress, found with the
bones underneath the iron bedstead, was
identified by Edward Davenport, the
second steward of the hotel. He was
positive that he saw thu dress on Miss
Agnes Wilson, the second houssSeepcr,
when she went in to supper on the fatal
evening. 1t was brown and black.
The trunk OF another body was found
imbedded among the ruins about 10 fees
north of the ovens. 1t will take some
time to dislodge it. This portion OF the
last body visible is on a partially burned
mattress.
