WASHINGTON, Dec. l2.-According to
the opinion of two or three probable men,
bers of the house committee on foreign
affairs there is strong possibility that
when the committee comes to consider the
matter of Ambassador Bayard's two
speeches, it may recommend the action
proposed by Mr.. McCall's resolution. The
resolution proposed that the house call up
on the president to inform it what steps, if
any, he has taken to recall or censure Mr..
Bayard.
The question of impeachment is not be-

Mrs. Livermore also said she had never
been member of the Prohibition party of
this state.
A letter appeared in the last issue OF the
California Voice. signed by Mrs. Cougar,
which sharply took Mrs. Lvermore to task
and sought to show that she did not speak
the truth at the trial. Mrs. Gouger alleges
that Mrs. Livermore supported the Prohi-
ton nominee. and quoted from her letter
10 John p. st. John for tile purpose of
showing that she left the Republican party
and joined the Prohibitionists.
Mrs. Cougar also denied other state
ments which Mrs. Livermore made at the
trial.
Mrs. Livermore, when seen tonight, was
very indignant and pronounced the letter
IN the Voice a tissue of Misrepresentation.
Mrs. Livermore has handed the entire
matter over to her counsel.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Daily News will
tomorrow publish a dispatch from Con-
stantinople which says:
For days past Turks and Kurds have
been pouring into the city from the devas-
tated regions of Asia Minor. Their prim-
AIRY object is the disposal of the loot which
they have obtained during the massacres.
They are also hopeful of richer harvest
in the event OF the permitting of rising
at Stambonl. Their stories, coupled with
the display of plunder, have inflamed the
lowest classes of Moslems with an aching
desire to attack the bazaars. They are
ready to seize upon the slightest provoca-
ton fer an attack.
1t is unwholesomely significant of the
state of affairs that the government is sez-
ing and deporting daily numbers of Ar
menians from the poorest but robust
classes.
The news from the interior increases in
horror with every mail. AT places within
short distance MASSAGE and pillage are
still OF daily occurrence and everywhere
destitute Armenians are fiocking into the
large towns, where there is no means of
feeding them. No news has been received
from Zeitoun, and none is expected until
all the Zeitounlis have been killed. The
district swarms with bashi bazourks and
every road and bridge is guarded by troops.

MATHEW HESTER Is DEAD.
FATAL RESULT OF RIVALRY FOR q
YOUNG LADY's FAVOR.

Died of the wounds Indicted by John

Night-The bad Ending 10 the Ice
Cream Party Given by Helmy's
Father-The Two Young Men
Agreed 20 Fight IL Out Fair and
square, But HeImy Used "A Knife.
Hester Was Unurmed.
Mat Hester. the young man who was so
badly cut by John Helmy Wednesday
night at the fifteen mile post on the
Louisville road, died yesterday afternoon
at O'Clock News OF the death was
brought to the city last night by Dr. r.
C. Norton who had been attending on
Hester Dr. Norton had no hopes for his
patient from the first.
The affair has created great excitement
IN that neighborhood. Both young men
are sons OF prominent citizens Of the
community and Helmy's father is a jus
tice Of the peace. The reports Of the case
make it very bad for Helmy, as it appears
that Hester was unarmed and that Helmy
knew It.
There was an ice cream festival at the
house OF Helmy's father Wednesday
night. Both young men, 1t seems, were
enamored Of a young lady, VINO was one
Of the bellies Of the party Some dispute
arose between the two young men dur
ing the party on her account, and after
the party there was an alteration be-
tween them. 1t was proposed that they
should 90 out in the woods some distance
from the house and settle the dispute by
a fair fight with natures weapons Both
young men assented to this. Hester,
when he assented to this arrangement,
stated that he had no knife and pulled
out his pockets TO show the truth Of his
statement.
Several other young men who had been
at the party were with the pair and evil
IDENTIFY all were anxious TO see "a fight.
Judging by the results Helmy had more
friends in the crowd than Hester had.
The young men agreed to see fair play
and to stop the fight whenever one party
acknowledged that he had enough.
After fighting awhile the two young men
clnchcd and fell upon the ground. II
seems that some of the party endeavOrcd
to stop the fight, others interfered TO pre-
vent them from doing so and a general
free fight ensued. Helmy. who was on top,
drew knife, and stabbed his antagonist
repeatedly. Whether anyone else stabbed
Hester is not known. When &c was seen
that he was badly cut the fight stopped,
ana he was taken by some of the young
men to his fathers house, some distance
away. He received 10 medical attention
until the next day, about noon, when DR..
Norton, who had been summoned from
Savannah. and Or. Mcconnell who had
been summoned from Bloomingdale at
tended him and dressed his wounds. The
doctors had no hopes of his recovery from
the first.
Testers wounds were of the most des-
perate character. There was deep
wound in the left lung. a very severe stab
In the right groin and three other less
severe wounds. Helmy and the four youne
men who were present with him when
the cutting took place. were all arrested
the next morning, having made no at
tempt to escape. Helmy is now in the
Ehingham county jail al Springfield.
