On the last page Of this issue Will
be found very able and interesting
article from the pen of Col. Robert
W. Monroe on the Tariff. SO much
has been said and written on this
subject in the last few years, that it
may be considered rather ,iresome
by some to read a long article on
the question, but for this we ask a
very careful reading and guarantee
some new Thoughts and logic that
VIC do not believe can be disap.
proved. We heartily endorse the
article, and believe that it is only
question Of time till The majority
Of the people Of this country will
look at this troublesome subject in
the same light. This paper Of the
ColonePs will be followed by others
Watch out for them.

New York. Aug. %. = The. sloop
yacht Adelaide, owned by Robert w.
Inman, Jr., the cotton broker, while
cruising off Norton's Point last night

Harbor; Mr.. and Mrs. G.. L. Evans Of
West Forty-ninth street, Miss Nor

whose home is in Springfield, Mass.
There was captain and two others

keeled over and at least three persons
are known to have gone overheard.
Mrs. Evans and Mate Dorno were

Constantinople, Aug. 80. = Advices
received here from Erzinghian say
that great terror prevails among tho
Armenians there owing to the attitude
OF the Turkish authorities. The lat
ter, in consequence of an attack which
was recently made by brigands upon
a Turkish colonel during which a
number Of his escort was killed, are
believed to be taking steps which will
have most serious consequences. Tne
Armenians are accused of being the
authors Of the attack on the colonel,
and 1t is alleged that Il large force Of
Turkish troops has been retaliating by
attacking the villages and monster
les in the vicinity and engaging in
other acts Of violence. The Armeni-
ans. fearing a recurrence Of the Sas-
SCUM Outrage, have appealed to the
ambassadors Of the powers at Con-

l'EMPLARS PARADE
TWENTY-FIvE THOUSAND IN LINE
IN BOSTON.
Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand
People See the Parade, Which Is
Pronounced the Grnndest Pa.
Geant Ever Witnessed
In Boston.
GIVEN A WARM WELCOME.
The Conclavc Is Opened by Address
es Of Welcome and Response
BY Grand Master McCurdy.

Ecston, Aug. 29-Seven hundred and
my thousand people saw the parade
OF over 25OOO Sir knights Templar to-
day. and, with one accord, pronounced
1t the grandest pageant ever wit
messed in Boston.
The clear skies and hot sun of the
past two days had given away to
heavy clouds. but finally the sun broke
through the clouds, vigorously endeav-
oring to drive the mist away.
Although majority of the Sir
knights spent last night until late
hour entertaining friends or being en-
tertatned, they We're astir early this
morning. Trains from every direc-
ton brought thousands of uniformed
Templars and their friends to swell
the host. AT the depots the crowds
were of almost suffocating density.
From every state communicates be-
gan to arrive at an early hour, and
thousands of spectators came with
them. The street car dcpots echoed
with the din of scores of bands and
the tramp of arriving knights and
their escorts. The railroad men were
completely overwhelmed by the mag
nitude Of the crowd.
Everywhere within a radius Of
twenty miles of the state house to-
day is practically a holiday. Most Of
the factories In nearby cities are
closed. and local stores closed up to
swell the crowds.
The police appointments were we'll
nigh perfect. Shortly before the pa
rade started platoons of officers
cleared the way through which the Sir
knights We're to pass and roped them
off, and until the last division had
passed no traffic Of any kind was al
lowed on these thoroughfares. The
lines Of parade was formed In thir-
teen divisions of double sections. At
. O'Clock the communicates of the
first division began to gather on the
south side Of Commonwealth avenue,
near Rerkley street, and ut about the
same hour the other divisions began to
take up their positions in the avenues
of the Back Bay district. There was
the usual delay consequent to the
formation of great professions, but
all was i'll readiness shortly after 10
O'Clock, and by 1885 the long line was
in motion, the signal for the start be-
ing greeted by the cheers and salutes
of 10000 people gathered near the
start
AS the great body Of knights moved
down Commonwealth avenue the spec
tacle was an inspiring one. The music
of the 100 bands and the applause Of
thousands of people filled the-air. The
leading division of the pageant pre-
ceded by platoons of Boston's sturdy
policemen, was very imposing.
After the parade the conclave was
formerly opened. Addresses OF vel
come We're made by the governor and
mayor. Grand Master McCurdy re-
sponded. The work of the conclavo
was then begun.

Revelations in the Double Tragedy
at Sioux City.
Sioux City, Iowa. Aug. 2S.-Start-
ling developments came to light to-
day in connection with Sunday morn
ing's double tragedy in which Mr..
Noack and Ora Minter. alias Hazel
Hammond, lost their lives. The most
important find was the discovery of
the imprint Of strange mans hand
on the dust In the room in which the
bodies were found and an exit to the
gallery below which had not been
noticed before. A hammer with what
appears to be human blood on it was
also found. 1t is now thought that
the hammer figured in the killing. Sew
eral arrests will be made. The theory
Of double murder, with robbery as
the motive, is regarded as fully con-
firmed.
Warrants have been sworn out
charging Maud Hoyle and Dan Berry,
pugilist who formerly lived in Oma-
ha, with murder in the first degree,
and they were both placed under ar
rest. The officers have become con-
victed that Max Noack and Ora
Minter. alias Hazel Hammond, were
killed by third person whose identi-
ty Is yet unknown, for the purpose of
robbery. Maud Hoyle. proprietress of
the house In which the tragedy oc-
CURED. kept continually contradict
ing herself, but gave the police lit4e
information of value. A gang of loaf
ers seen with Noack before the trag-
edy is being closely shadowed by the
officers.

Harrisburg, Aug. D.-The anxiOusly
anticipated caucuses of the two fac
tiOns of the state Republican party
were held to-day and the results there
of make it appear certain that Senator
Quay has majority of the legally
elected delegates and has. therefore,
Won his fight. The Quay caucus de-
termined to hold a separate conven-
tion, and unless there is Il compromise
before morning, two conventions will
meet tomorrow. Aside from the an
nouncement that Quay has majority
of the delegates and that there will
probably he two conventions. the
news feature of the day was the cap
ture Of the opera house, where the
convention was to be held. by the
antf-Quay people. A dramatic COM
pany was holding forth at the opera
house, and there was to have been
matinee this afternoon and per-
formance tonight. Chairman Gilke-
son Is said to have received infOrma-
tton that the Quay people had planned
to I'LL the house ut the afternoon per-
fOrmance with "heeleis" who would
refuse to leave ut the end of the per-
formance. and remain all night. thus
gaining possession of the house. To
ctrcumvent this move Chairman Gilke-
son bought off the theatrical company,
and. securing the keys from the lessee,
placed In the house about 100 expo
liceman, special officers and other de-
termined men who arrived from Pitts
burg to-day under charge Of Superin-
tendent of Police Roger O'Meara of
that city. Their meals will be sent in
to them. and they will remain in the
house all night. The state committee
met again and received from the Quay
caucus the request for a separate con-
vcntion tomorrow. The request was
referred to a subcommittee. who, 1t is
understood. will endeavor to arrive Mt
an amicable agreement with the anti
Quay leaders. whereby only one con-
vention will be held. 1t is also under
stood that the Quay people have en-
gagged the hall over the Chestnut
street market house, which seats 500
persons. and will hold their convell-
tion there If the effort to arrive at
an amicable agreement with the anti
Quay people fails.
The anti-Quay leaders are claiming
that there We're 1873 delegates at their
caucus. although there was no roll
call. and that the Quay people worked
the old trick Of answering to the
names Of delegates who were not
present. The anti-Ouayites say their
forces remain mistaken. and that they
will have about 100 delegates in their
convention tomorrow.
