THE hENEY CASE
Some Testimony nuch More Scientific Than
Convincing

Convincing
CARSON, New, Nov l9.-The defense
in tho Heney case opened this morning
and offered testimony showing that great
quantities of gold had escaped from the
mint by means OF sewer. which assays
from SIS to $62 per ton. The sewer finally
spreads over pasture of thirty acres,
which the defense says is worth $4,000 to
che acre.
Prufessor Price, the chemist of San
Francisco, is the principal witness. He
was called upon in the early part of the
year by Secret Service Agent Harris to
testify in this case. He assayed over 100
samples from the sewer and field, and
said from the description given of the
GOLD taken to Reno by Heney it could not
have come from the nitric or sulphuric
processes of the mint; that is. it is gold
from some chlorination process. Also.
that the acid usei in the Carson lint was
too cheap and impure.
When nitric acid is pure only silver
dissolves, but il not pure some of the gold
is dissolved in the processes. If the gold
j. not thoroughly sweetened, certain
amount OF gold will pass off into the
acid. The water used in the refinery in
the mint contains salt, and is unsafe ana
should havs been distilled.

Armenian tradesmen Oi Constan,ipopIe.
These Armenians have declared their IN

assert that Constantinople is now unsafe
for them. Another dispatch announces
the arrival at Smyrna of the Frencn
squadron.
A Standard dispatch says this losses tn
the Armenian missions at Kharput will
reach 10000 pounds. The Persian Kurds
according to another dispatch to the
Standard. are in omen revolt against tho
municipal government of the town oi
Aimtob in Asiatic Turkey. Similar news
has been received from the tribes west of
Damascus. It's evident that the excited
kurds and entire lower clas. of the Mos-
lens in the peninsula of Anatolia are
quite beyond the control OF the autpor,-
ties. The most stringent orders have
been issued to the different wallis, coupled
with appeals asking them to save the
hoUor OF the sultan and preserve the
islamic faith by an obediencs of the
instructions. but all of these efforts have
been futile. The Constantinople CORE
sPondent OF the Standard announces that
