CHRISTIANS in ARMENIA
Are Not to Be Granted Any Special
Privileges
But Reforms Will Be Granted by Which All
VIII Benefit, Because the Powers
Demand Them

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 1S.-At a
meeting of the am bassadors of the powers
just held it was decided to send colec-
tive communication to the Armenian par
tiarch, soliciting his assistance in the
efforts being made by the representatives
of the foreign governments interested to
stop the agitation among the Armenians.
Turkish newspapers have published an
inspired article contradicting the prevail
ing idea tina. special privileges will be
conceded to the Armenians. The article
says: "As. however, existing laws and
regulations require notifications, certain
reforms by which all, without distinction
of race or religion. will benefit. will be
introduced tentatively in cerlain prov
inces Of Anatolia."
The article is regarded as intended to
prepare the Musselmans for the promul-
cation OF reforms forced upon the Turk-
is government by the powers, and to
prevent the impression spreading abroad
that they are for the exclusive benefit of
the Armenians, or the result of the Ar
menian agitation and the subsequent in .
tervention of the powers.
LONDON, Oct 1S.-The Rome cores
pondent of the Chronicle says he has been
assured in otficial circles that England
intends to land troops in some part of
the Turkish territory if the Armenian re-
forms are not honorably executed.

ENGLAND'S ULTIMATUM
Ashantee Land VIII Be ProteCted-That Is,

Ashantee Land VIII Be Protected-Thnt Is,
of Course, if Annexed
LONDON, Oct. 1S.-The ultimatum
which Great Britain, according TO dis
patch published in New York today, has
sent to the king of the Ashantees, is not
new. 1t was forwarded from London
September 9th. Its terms place Ashantee
under British protection and establish a
resident British commissioner in the
country. The king was given until Oc-
tober 3lst to reply.
The governor of the Gold Coast for
some time past has been preparing to
send an expedition to Coomassie should
such step turn out to be necessary.
The king of A Ashantee,a Us widely published
for some months past, is alleged to have
violated certain treaty obligations with
Great Britain, by the continuance of the
practice of human sacrifices, and also, 1T
is claimed, by hampering and attacking
neig boring tribes under British pro-
lection, etc. The trouble is of long stand
ing. and q month or so ago several native
envoys from the king of Ashanti arrived
in London to negotiate with the British
government but they have not been re-
ceived here and have been instructed to
address their communications through
the governor of the Gold Coast, who is
the represe tative of tho British govern
ment instructed to receive them.

OFFICIAL MALFEASANCE

But the Officer Is Not Accused of Personal
Dishonesty
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. IS. Thomas
Ashworth, superintendent of streets, was
today charged by the grand jury with
corrupt and wilful m isconduct in Office.
The foreman of tho grant jury read the
accusation to the district attorney in
Judge Hebbafd's court room late this
afternoon. Aicopy will be served on Ash
worth, and he will be cited to appear and
defend himself in the superior court,
wherein he will be tried by a jury.
Should the accusation be sustained, the
only course open to the court, according
to the statutes, will be to dismiss the
official from office. A great mass of evil
dence was presented to the jury in its in
vestigation OF the affairs of the street
department. Contractors, property own
ers and official inspectors were examined
and serious charges were freely made.
Out of this mass of evidence there came
to the Jury conviction that deputies of
Mr.. Ashworth had formed ring with
dishonest contractors who used cheap
material and prevented honest bidders
from getting fair play in competition for
street work The accusation designed to
bringl about the removal of Mr.. Ash
worth from Office was the result.
In all the investigation no word has
been said against the personal honesty
of the supe 'inIendent. The members of
the grand jury feel that he has been I'M
posed upon by his deputies, but as he Is
responsible for the official conduct of
those deputies, no course was open save
accusing him of all the wilful, corrupt
practices that spring from the dishonesty
OF subordinates.
