Maryland senatorship.

Baltimore, Md, November 16 The
contest over the United States senatorship
is getting decidedly more vigorous and
the friends Of the different aspirants are
eagerly pressing their favorites' claim on
all influential Republicans
A new candidate is Mr.. George M.
Russum of Caroline county. Mr..
Russum's name has frequently been
mentioned in connection with the
senatorship, although he has made no
statement concerning an ambition to
succeed Mr.. Gibson, but to The Star
correspondent this morning Mr.. Russum
said that he had decided to become a
candidate, end was prepared to make a
spirited contest
Mr.. Russum is the most prominent
lawyer on the eastern shore, being
associated with Mr.. George F. Ma ssey of
Delaware as counsel for the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company in matters
affecting it's lines in the Maryland and
Delaware peninsula. He will have thr
backing Of the Pennsylvania railroad
and. while the eastern shore Republicans
will support the aspirants from their
particular co-nties, still they will un-
doabtedly, unite on Mr. Russum, sho ould
their won favorites be overthrown.
Captain William ID. Burchanal of Kent
county is in town trying to boom Mr..
Chas. T. Westcott of Kent Captain
Burchanal is loua in bis denunciations
of any movement to ignore the eastern n
shore law. and is prepared to fight, tooth
and nail, the boom OF any aspirant hail
ing from the west side of the bay.

olamoring for that gentleman's nomina-
tion, and declare that should it be i'm
possible to bring it about, they will sup
port Westcott or any candidate other than
Congressman Wellington. The Malster
men are still smarting under what they
regard as the shabby treatment accorded
heir man in the fight for the Republi-
tan nominations for governor and mayor
CT Baltimore, and the rongest opposi-
tion the Wellington boom is likely to
encounter will come from them.

WORSE AND WORSE.
90, 900 People Said to Have Been Massa-
cred since the Porte Accepted the Scheme
of ReforYn-A Hint to the United States.

London, November 1.-THE Daily
News publishes despatch from Constan-
tinople dated November IL, saying the
most serious anxiety prevails and the
situation is becoming worse. The govern
ment is obtaining record of the houses
in which ArInenians live. This action
causes alarm, because in several towns
where massacres have occurred, the
houses of Armenians had previously been
marked. Several leading Armenian
merchants have sought and receive
shelter in the houses of Europeans. M
The American issionaries at Bitliz
have telegraphed the American minister,
asking him to procure from the Porte,
an escort to take them and families to
Van. 1t is estimated that 10000 persons
havp been massaored since the acceptance
bv the sultan of the scheme of reform
The Daily News in an article on
America and the Turk" says that the
New World is asserting itself to redress
the balance of the Old World. The
leshargy of European powers is hard TO
eynIain. 1t is we'll Turkey should know
that there is a great nation beyond the
Atlantic that will not allow the blood of
its sons to be shed with i1npunity.

TURKISH SIDE OF 1T,
The Porte Says That All Disorder VIII Be

Washington, November 16.-The
Turkish Legation has received from the
Sublime Porte the following telegram
under yesterdays date,
The Armenian rioters of Zetoun and
Marash attacked the villages of Fersakh
Bitchi Those of Azirlon and of
Tehokmerzemenk plundered Pias and
other Mussulman villages, killed great
number of the inhabitants and set fire to
many houses. Measures were taken for
the restoration of order.
EtAdvices from the Vail of Siyas are to
the effect that the arrest of the marauders
who came for plunder had been accom-
plished. Notwithstanding the false and
gratuitous news about the situation at
Hadljin, order prevails there. The Vail
of Erzerum telegraphs that the commits
sion appointed is the capital of the
vilayet as we'll as at Parsinler, with the
view of finding and returning to their
owners all articles lost during the recent
troubles, work with activity and are
accomplishing good results. The Marshal
Chakir Pasha telegraphs also that q
near has already found and restored to
the owners many of the articles that had
been lost.
"In order to put stop to disorders in
some parts of Anatolia and to completely
secure public tranquility, the Imperial
government has called to arms 12S
battalions of the reserves, independently
of the contingents of the Fourth and
Fifth corps of the imperial army, and has
sent fresh orders, firm and peremptory,
to the wallis and military commanders
that quietness and peace should promptly
and definitely be secured through the
application of treatment, equal and just,
toward all subjects without distinction OF
race or religion. There is no doubt that,
thanks to the measures taken, order will
shortly be restored everywhere.
Besides, Samy Effendi, Councillor Of
State Saaddedin and Abdullah Pashas,
generals of divisions Djemal Bey, MEM
bers Of tho commissioned the staff, and
Ibrahim Edhenr Bey and Hussein Ruehdi
Effendi, councillors Of the High Court Of
Appeals, were instructed to apply the
administrative and military measures for,
the maintenance of the public order.
One part of these functionaries will go to
Trebizond, Gumuchhane, Baufbrt,
Erzerum, Mongh, and Bitlis. The other
will visit Sassun, Amassia, Tokat,
Sivas, Malatia. Manertalariz, and
Diarbekir. They all left Constantinople
yesterday. AS for the commission in
stituted for the application of reforms,
its work has already begun.

-cHEAPER SLEEPING.
An Effort to Secure a Reduction in Pull
man Charges.

Chicago, November IA paper here
says: All the railroads in the United
States, using Pullman sleeping cars are
about to present petition to the Pull
man 90 to have the price Of the upper
berths in it's sleeping cars lowered at
least 25 per cent.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
has started the war against the Pullmans
and meeting of all the general passenger
agents of the road in the country using
these cars will probably soon be called to
take final action on the question.

Washington, November 17.-The Turk
ish legation here received today tele-
gram from the Sublime Porte, saying:
HThe safety of missionaries is complete
ly assured. Our previous telegramsahave
already shown this but are renewed as
accusations about supposed massacre
are groundless. The reported unpleasant
ness between the Grand Vizier and Mr..
Terrell, the American minister, resulting
from a supposed note Of the latter. which
as a matter of fact was never sent to his
highness, is also groundless.

sALIsBURYs PROGRAMME.
Some of the Measures that Will Come Up
in Parliament,

Some OF the Measures that VIII Come Up
in Parliament
London, November 16.-Mr. A. J.
Balfour made five speeches in Glasgow on
Thursday, but he contrived to avoid
making the slightest reference to the
governments programme at the coming
session. Sir Michasl Hicks Beach, chan
cellor of the excheoquer, speaking at
Bristol, vaguely promised the earliest
possible consideration of measures for the
relief of the agricultural depression.
Sir Robert Peel in a speech at Taw
north, declared that the government in
tended to consolidate and take over all
mortgages on land by lending money to
landlords at three per cent, thus
enabling them to save two per cent, as
most landlords have been obliged to raise
loans at five per cent. The scheme,
according to Sir Robert, has the support
of several of the ministers.
The Westminster Gazette describes the
measure as a landlord cabinets bill.
Such bill would certainly be the saliva
tion of many landowners whose
properties are heavily mortgaged, but it
would REQUIRE the Governments full
majority of 150 to pull it through the
House of Commons.
Sir Mathew White Ridley, the Home
Secretary, promised deputation Of trade
unionists few days age chat the Govern
ment would introduce an employers
liability bill, giving workmen compensa-
tion for every accident that befell them
in the course of their iabors, with the
Tory's favorite nulifying clause enabling
workmen to contract themselves out OF
every right under the bill.
These measures with an Irish land bill,
form the fixtures for the session. The
Ministers desire to postpone for another
year the denominational education
trouble.
Robert J. More, AZ. P. recently asked
the Government to introduce legislation
at the next session of Parliament to pre-
vent gambling in-wheat futures: Lord
Salisbury, in reply, refused to takee any
action, on the ground that it was i'm
possible to distinguish the gambling from
the ordinary commercial transactions.

The message of President Cleveland or
Venezuelan affairs was favorably receiv-
ed by Republicans and Democrats alike
in Washington and the comments OF
political papers generally in all the
principal cities endorse it. Tbs
papers of England regard it with dis.
favor and express astonishment and de
precation. No reasonable nation could
object to the scheme of arbitration pro
posed by our government to determine
the boundary question, but England be-
ing powerful nation rejected arbitra-
tion with a weaker and now we presume
she will object even to the investigation
