to come to Constantinople, and it was
learned he was bringing with him four of
the fairest young maidens of Sassoun, who
had been spared i'm he massacre, to make
an acceptable present of them to his
sultan. This aroused the Armenian
people of Trebizond to frenzy,
and as it was impossible
to resist, the more daring of the young
men fired upon Bahiri Pasha, when lie
was going about the city, wounding him
After he was cured he carried out his in
fernal mission 10 Constantinople and was
honored with the highest decoration and
appointed governor OF Adana, in spite of
the nerveless protest of the ambassadors.
Afterwards the pasha of Trebizond de-
manded the offenders but they could not
be found.
The pasha had already begun to COM
municate with the sultan by telegraph and
calling to the commanders of the soldiers,
ordered them to be ready at 3 o'clock.
When the maids had arrived and the peo-
pie went toward the post, both the soldiers
and the mob rushed upon them. Men and
women were tern and murdered and the
groaDs of the dying could be heard eve y
where. 1t was the most awful of all the
masSacres.
News from Diabekir report unutterable
shflerlngs among those well-tO-do short
time ago. Tho same information comes
from Cuerin. where not an Armenian
house has been left standing where d
large community was to be seen only a
few weeks ago.
from every part of Armenia comes the
cell 10 Armenians, who are out of the
country, begging that money should be
sent to the survivors of their families with
out delay. as they have neither food nor
fuel aud scarcely any clothing. No men
are allowed to travel from city To village.
That which brings the grief of the Arm
enians is that numbers of young maidens
we're taken to the harems of the Kurds and
Turks.

THE CAUSE OF QUIETNEss
LONDON, Dec. 30.-The New York cor
respondent of the Times argues that the
fact that Senator Sherman allies himself
with the president on the Venezuelan ques-
ton augurs ill for the cessation of the con-
troversy.
Mr.. Sherman sides with President
Cleveland against all the great lawyers
and all the best authorities on this ques.
tiou, both American and European, and
against Monroe himself, says the corre-
spondent. He thinks that Senator Sher-
mans attitude indica es that the Republi-
cans are not entirely separated from Pres
ident Cleveland. He gees danger in Sber-
mans assumption that the quieter state
of affairs grows out of the belief among
the people of the United States that Lord
Salisbury is ready to acquiesce in arbitra-
ton.

STRucR A NEW JOB


Ralnmaker Dryenfurth to Tackle the Famous
London Fog
DETROIT, Dec. 3O.-General R. G. Dryen-
furth, the rainmaker, has scheme to dis
pei the famous London fog. He has been
in correspondence with the leading Of
ficials of that city, and it is said fund of
$4,000 will he raised with which to con-
duct experiments.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars a day
would be saved in the metropolis alone if
the fog could be done away with. The
Dryenfurth fog scheme is only a variation
of his rain making one. 1t includes the
use of hydrogen gas and explosive bal
looons.
His plan is to establish fog stations be-
low the city and begin his campaign
against it as the fog rolls in from the sea.
His bombardment of the skies would pro-
duce rain, he says, and when precipitation
was started the fog would be dispelled.
