Hundreds of Convert Hungry, Naked and
Homeless.
London, November 16.-The representa-
tive of the United Press at Constanti-
nopie reports, under date of November
Is, that at O'Clock on the evening of
November IA, Mr. M. A. Jewett United
States Consul at Sivas, sent a telegram
to United States Minister Terrell inform
ing him that in the disturbance that had
taken place at Sivas 800 Armenians and
ten Turks had been killed, and that
according to official reports large body
of Kurds were then approaching the
town. Mr. Jewett gave no details of the
disorders, but the discrepancy in tn 9
figures shows that the Turkish allegations
that the Armsnians were the aggressors
are absolutely untrue, and that. the
Armenians were deliberately massacred.
Minister Terrell has also received a
dispatch from Harpoot, in the pashalik
of Diarekbir, and sixty miles westnorth-
west of the city of thai name.
The dispatch is dated November 13 and
says that in the massacre OF Christians
at that place 800 persons were killed.
Eight of the twelve missionary buildings
situated within the missionary COM
pound, or enclosure, were burned The
missionaries themselves were spared, but
many of the occupants of the burned
buildings were killed. L the buildings
within the enclosure comprising the
missionary quarters, were twelve
Armenians with their families and 500

READY TO RUSH.
Today Will Witness Wild Scramble for
the Nez Perez Lands,

Spokane, Washington, November ~
The rush to the Nez Perez reservation is
proving even greater than was expected.
From and through this city, by every
road leading to tho new garden spot are
long trains of "prairie sohooners.' and
every imaginable decription of vehicle,
carrying loads of home seekers.
1t is estimated that when the opening
gun is fired at Monday noon, next, at
least 5000 people will begin wild scram-
BILE for choice locations. The demand
for lumber has cleaned out the local deal
ers, and is now being shipped to points
nearest the reservation from this and
another points. By Monday night 1t is
estimated that 1000 homes will have been
erected in the promised land"

a carriage The duchess, carrying a
large bouquet, preceded her husband up
the gang plank of the steame- Fulda
They were followed by Mrs. Vanderbilt
and two servants. Five minutes later
they were the centre of an admiring
crowd of perhaps 20, evidently all their
friends. Fifteen minutes later, W. K.
Vanderbilt arrived alone. Mrs Wander
bilt looked at him and smiled. Me- Van
derbilt bowed stiff]y and raised his hat.
Then he kissed his daughter and shook
hands with the duke. Mrs. Vanderbilt,
who had been with the ducal party up to
this time, then turned hor back and talked
to three or four women friends, while
MIR. Vanderbilt continued to talk with
the Duke and Duchess.
The main saloon of the Fulda was like
flower garden. Chrysanthemums, roses,
vlolets and many handsome floral pieces
almost filled the place. The captain S
cabin, which had been especially prepared
for the duke and duchess, was an ideal
flower bower. Flowers in profusion were
strewn about the room and pinned to the
very curtains There was nothing APP.

THE KAIsER's ACTIONS.
Speculation as to Their Bearing on the
Armenian Question.

Speculation as to Their Bearing on the
Armenian Question. Z
Berlin, November 16 Before starting
on his hunting trip to Lenzlingen, in
company with the Grand Duke Vladimir
OH Thursday, the Emperor held pro-
longed conference with the Chancellor,
Prince Van Hohenlohe and Freiherr Mar
schal Won Bieberstein, imperial minister
of foreign affairs. This, together with
the audience which the Kaiser had given
to the Austrian ambassador on Wednes-
d Ivy led togthe surmise that the foregoing
situation had engaged his attention and
at subsequent dinner at the residence
of Herr Nieberding, minister of Justice,
which he attended, His Majesty, in the
course of conversation stated that,
while important dispatches had been re-
ceived from CcnstantinOple there was
nothing alarming in their purport These
dispatches, he said, related chiefly to
definite arrangements on the part of the
Powers which were endeayoring to agree
upon plan of concerted action in view
of possible grave eventualities. Although
there was nothing of particular signicti-
ance in his remarks, they sti left the
eve of an agreement committing them
to common action in whatever might
happen. Since these incidents, reports,
have been current that Prince Hohenlohe
was intending to summon an internation-
al conference in Berlin and these runors
have evoked ehmpatic official contradic-
tions.

The Porte Explains.

Washington, November 16.-The
Turkish Legation has received from the
Sublime Porte the following telegram
under yesterdays date: The Armenian
rioters of Zeitoun and Marasah attacked
the villages of ersakh and Bitch. and
those of Azirlond, Tehokmerzemk and
plundered Pas and othor Mussulman
villages. They killed great number of
the inhabitants and set fire to many
houses Measures were taken for the
restoration of order. Advices from the
Vail of Sivas are to the effect that the
arrest of the marauders who came for
plund had been accomplished. Not
withs tan ing the false gratuitous news
about the situation at Had jim, order pre-
walls there The Vail of Erzeroum tele-
graphs that the commissions appointed
in the capital Of Vilayet, as well 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 re-
suits The marshal, Chakir Pasha, tele-
graphs also that a similar commission,
appointed at Khonnsar, has already found
and restored to owners many articles that
have been lost. In order to put a stop
to disorders in some parts Of Antlia and
completely secure public tranquility, the
imperial government has called to arms
125 battaIions of reserves, independently
of contingents of the fourth and fifth
corps of the Imperial army, and has sent
fresh orders, firm and peremptory, to the
Walls and military commanders that the
quietness and peace should promptly and
definitely be secured through application
of treatment, equal and just. towards all
subjects without distinction Of race or
religion.3
