A REIGN OF TERROR.
The Present Condition of Anairs Cannot
Continue.

Constantinople, Nov. S.-Trustworthy
reports which have been received here
from Erzeroum state that 1t has been
established beyond dispute that the
Turkish troops took part in the recent
massacre and pillage Of Armenians there,
and 1t is added clear evidence of this
fact will be placed before the representa-
tives Of the powers.
Private accounts represent the condl-
ton of the Asiatic provinces of Turkey
as being deplorable in the extreme. \
yeritable reign of terror is said to exist,
and bloodShed and robbery are of daily
occurrence.
The police OF this city are kept busy
night and day watching everybody and
everything. To such an extent is this
system of police surveillance carried
that two servants in the employ OF Eng
lish merchants here have been arrested
while returning from the pOstottice with
letters and newspapers. The latter were
seized by the police. in spite of the pro-
tests of the servants. and were carried
away to the police depot for examina-
ton The English merchants promptly
complained to the British charge daf-
faireS. the Hon. Michael Herbert, and
the latter has made strong representa-
tionS to the porte on the subject. Ol
course such a state of affairs cannot be
allowed t. exist much longer, as tue
in danger and there is hourly expec.a
ton or the most serious trouble in al
most every part of the Turkish empire.
The mere calling out of the army re-
serves will have little or no effect upon
the situation, as the troops cannot be re-
lied upon in such an emergency, and the
wretched condition OF Turkish finances
bars anything like wholesale and ener-
getic action upon the part of the Turkish
government unless holy war is pro-
claimed, and that could only be done by
infiaming the religious fanaticism of the
Turk against the Christian. This. it Is
believed. the porte would not hesitate
to do In the case of an invasion of tha
Turkish dominionS: but such a step
would not be calculated to suppress in
terror disorders. the basis Of which
should be the protection of the Christian
population of Armenia.

GOLD IN NEBRASKA GRAVEL
Expert Says the Milford Field Are Rich
In Precious Metal.


In Precious Metal.
Milford. Neb.. Nov. S.-For ten days
Professor Herbert Bartlett has been in
vestigatins the alleged gold fields In the
vicinity of Milford He had made the
following report to committee inter
ested in the lands.
''Upon my arrival here l found that
the information received Of these vast
treasure vaults had been erroneous. In
stead of ledge deposit, as one expert
had put it, found n gravel gold bearing
claim miles in extent and much of 1t
fabulously rich, and. taking it altogeth-
er, it is equal in extent, vaster in depth
and richer in value than any similar
deposit In the world Indeed there have
been but two similar ones knOwn-one
the great Middle field Of Australia.
from which the owner cleared $2,OOO,0O0
and over; the one in Honduras, which
equipped for the late Thomas Parrott,
was the other, and in regard to that de-
pOsit 1t was similar to this one. This
Honduras mine added millions to the al
ready princcly fortune of IL, o,' nei.
Neither Of these mines named was IN
point of value anything like this one.
| The Australian gave from S1.25 to $3.50
per ton. The vast number of tests
square have been truly marvellous. They
have not only been made by me. but are
the results of many hands, some of them
truly eminent ones. There have been re.
suits running as high as $500 and as
low as 50. My own have not varied SO
widely, as low as So and as high as $50.
The SO was obtained from sand, and l
am sure 1t would have been pronounced
of no value by almost any one. We get
very high value from a stratum of deep
ly iron-stained sand five feet from the
surface. These tests have been careful
ly made and conservately judged. and
viewing this deposit from lifetime OF
experience l pronounce it of fabulous
value"
Shafts and test holes have been sunk
and value Established and nothing now
remains to do but to adopt some plans
or means whereby this gold can be got
out cheaply and quickly.

A Candidate who Doesn't Explain.

numerous friends, pointing with pride to
that gentleman's long list of public acts al

painful blunders which have caused some
other candidates to shrink from public gaze

THE psAo-LxrrER OFFICE.
a Fallins-On l.. the Number of Piscss
Of Mall Misdirected.

a Falling-On In the Number of Pisesl
Of MAIL Misdirscted.
Very few persons have any clear or
definite knowledge of the extent OF the
operations of the dead-letter Office Of
the postoffice department. says the New
York Sun. 1t is known in a general
way that misdirected letters are trans
mitted to the postoffice department In
Washington and there are opened and
II possible redirected either to the
sender or the addressee. The number
OF letters and papers sent to the dead
letter office in year is $500, 900. Of
these $500, 900 are what is called ordi-
nary unclaimed letters. 10000 foreign
letters misdirected by people in the
United States to persons abroad, and
about 10000 letters written to fictitious
addresses, while 100000 letters in
countries to incorrect addresses in the
United States.
According to the last postofflce report
more than 10000 letters sent to the
dead-letter office contained money to
the gross amount of $4,000; 10000
other letters contained drafts. notes,
deeds and checks to the amount of more
than 81 800 900. A majority of the
money and the evidences Of indebted
ness were returned to the owners. but
last year 5000 900 in checks and notes
and SO. 900 in cash remained unclaimed
and undistributed. The number OF
parcels sent to the dead-letter office is
not large. More than $4,000 letters
finding their way to the dead-letter
ONCE yearly contain photographs. A
very large proportion Of the matter
which reaches the office does SO not be-
cause Of any defects in the postoftice
system, but because Of want of care on
the part Of the patrons of the mails.
1t would not be possible to state the
proportion in figures, because the tech
nical distinctions of held for postage"
"misdirected," etc., include letters
which. while properly prepared and
dispatched according to the addresses,
still fail of successful delivery by rea-
son Of hasty and careless directions,
confusion arising from offices of the
same or similar names in different
states, and other causes. 1t is pc
culiar fact that while many persons are
eA1' 1'eheiy cdrelul VI lneii PENN ho'AShip
In inditing letters to persons who are
familiar with their writing, they are
singularly negligent in addressing the
envelope, which is to be read by per-
sons unfamiliar with the writing, yet
upon whose ability to read 1t is depend
ent the safe delivery of the letter.
The increase Of the business of the
dead-letter office which continued each
year until about three years ago has
recently ceased and there is diminu-
tion in the volume of misdirected mail
matter. This improvep ent is ac-
counted for in part by the improved
management of the postottice depart
ment. but to a greater extent by the
general diffusion Of education among
writer's.

UrAHS POLITICS.

For a considerable time the country
has supposed Utah to be Democratic
in it's politics. which belief is the
main reason why Republican con-
crosses have steadily opposed its adj
mission to the Union. 1t appears
however. that the Democrats have not
been in a majority there for several
vears. In tho elections Of both 1892
and 1S9S-the former being the time
Of the general Democratic triumph
throughout the counUy-the Repubh-
cans polled majorities, and last year
the republicans carried the territory
