Armenian Refugees SWarming Into Constantin opIe- Famine Reported
 to Be Imminent.

CONSTANINOPLE, Nov. 2O.-A lack of sufficient funds to equip the reserves called out and the scarcity of regular troops in the disturbed provinces is a matter of great concern to the sultan who is said to be rapidly getting an idea of the extent to which his mis- government has spread.
 There is one gleam of hope for the unhappy sultan. Winter with its deadly cold and deep snows to inter rupt communication in the disturb bed districts, is approaching and news from the places now readily accessible will be cut off for long periods. This, it i. said, will put a stop to the Kurdish out breaks more effectively than Turkish troops.
 It will also prevent much news from reaching Constantinople. In order to be safe against an outbreak here, it is said that the powers have determined to send two guard boats instead of one for each country into the Bosphorus.
 Greatest anxiety certainly prevails al present among Turkish officials to stop carnage.
 Representatives of the powers held 8 conference yesterday to discuss supple mentary measures which will be rec commended to the Porte for the resto, ration of order in Asia Minor and it is understood that some form of com mon action for the protection of for eigners is pending.
 According ito the Turkish accounts the Armenians provoked the disturb ances at Marsovan and it is also saiG that American missionaries there were not in any way molested.
 Reports received here from the in terior of Asia Minor announce fresl conversions of Armenian women ant children ito Islamism.
 Advices from Aleppo say that al American citizens of Aintab Orfah ant Mardin are safe under the protection of the Turkish authorities of the place mentioned.

The game was played at the Indian school grounds in the presence of a large crowd Owing to the heat only twenty minute halves were played. The Indian lads showed up better on their own territory and made it decidedly inter esting for their opponents. The game was decidedly close, but was finally won by the Phoenix team by score of 10 to 6. They will play another game Saturday.

The house was one of the very

intently into the area, but 1t was i'm

I had noticed that the door was kept
from opening further by short chain.
This chain the woman unlocked from
the door, but still kept the latter
merely ajar, as though intending to
assure herself still further. But Hew-

were the police.
The door was closed behind us al
most noiselessly, and a match was
struck. Two men stood at the bot
tom of the stairs and the others
searched the house. Only two men
were found. both in a top room. They
