Special Ministers to Armenian States Re-
called by Secretary OIney

called by Secretary Olney.
Washington, Nov. 13.-Robert S.
Chiffon and Dulany Hunter of the state
department, who were sent by this
government to establish new United
States consulates at Erzerom and Har-
pout in Armenia, have been recalled by
Secretary Olney, and it is believed that
the project will be abandoned. Messrs.
Chiffon and Hunter have informed the
department of their return to Constan-
Hinople.
The practical failure of the mission
on which MIR. Chiffon and Mr.. Hunter
were sent Is due to the difficulties
which the Turkish government placed
in their way They spent some time in
Constantinople in a vain endeayor to
secure exequaturs, and finally decided
to push on towards Erzeroum. They
reached Trebizonde on the day of the
Armenian massacre there and Mr.. Chill
ton forwarded report on what he saw
and learned to the department. This
report has not been made public. The
journey between Trebizonde and Erze-
roum must be made by road, and the
two consular officers expected to have
guard of Turkish troops on the route.
1t is probable they failed to secure the
granting of this courtesy and this, in
view of the great danger to foreigners,
is probably one of the reasons why the
department deemed their return neces-
sary. The dispatch to the Cologne Ca
zette about the massacre of Christian
teachers between Trezizonde and Erze-
roum created much interest at the state
department. Secretary Olney said he
had nothing official about the report
This afternoon Secretary Herbert
called on Secretary Olney, but it was
stated that the conference had not been
followed by any oroders for increasing
the American naval force. Rear Ad-
miral Selfridge, the new commander-in-
chief of the European naval station,
Joined the flagship San Francisco at
Marseilles last night. The San Fran
cisco has been ordered to join the Mar
blehead in the Bay of Alexandrette,
where the latter vessel was sent on ac-
count of the Armenian troubles.
1t was reported to-day that the state
department had received important in
formation from Mr.. Terrill, our minis
ter ito Turkey, about the Turkish situa-
tion. No hint as to whether this is so
can be obtained. Officials of the de-
partment refuse to tell anything about
the condition of American interests in
Armenia where nearly all the Chris
tian teachers are native born citizens
of the United States and many of their
scholars are naturalized citizens Of
this country.

Most Horrible Affair is Reported from
Laredo, Texas.
Lerado, Texas, Nov. 13.-Last Monday
evening a TALL fine looking man, ac-
companied by a woman and an eight
year old girl, registered at the Hotel
Hamilton as c. Schuller and family.
Yesterday at 8 o'clock the man hired a
and girl to the depot. At o'clock
he returned the buggy and ate supper
at the hotel retiring afterwards. Last
night a shepherd discovered the dead
bodies of the woman and girl lying in
the brush in Chace bottoms, just beyond
a small reservoir, two and one-half
miles from Central City. At o'clock
this morning the proprietor of the hotel
knocked at Schullers room and asked
him where his family was. He replied
that he had taken them last evening
to Aztec, where they had taken the linn
tied train for Mexico.
''I think you are mistaken" said the
proprietor. Your family is not in
Mexico"
Schuller shut the door, and drawing a
revolver. shot himself through the
heart On his person was found a ci-
gar case containing 81, 900 in greenbacks.
The cigar case contained the name Of
Sam Kuenz. It is believed his brother
is in Fort Worth, and he was notified of
the tragedy. Schuller had stated that
he had been master mechanic for a rail-
road. He spent most of his time here
in saloons, and his actions indicated thai
h was either unbalanced or was medi-
tating the murders.

mouth of the inlet, which is the entrance
to Jamaica bay. Half an hour later
Captain Deakin saw the oyster BOAT
headed to the northeast. The change of
course brought her into the trough of
the sea and she rolled heavily. She had
gone but few lengths when big sea

open gangway. 1t lifted off the pilot
house and upper deck and heeled the
vessel over.
Before she righted another comber
dashed over her and the craft disappear

left to mark the spot where she went
down. Captain Deakin started for the
scene. He had four scows in tow, on
each of which were twenty-five men,
and the keepers families. He did not
dare to anchor them in such a seaway
and he, therefore, kept his tow with
him. 1t took him three-quarters of an
hour to reach the wreckage. floating

doors, blinds, sashes and other bits of

providing iced tea and coffee for the young ladies.
 When the chosen spot is reached the men of the party do the carrying and arranging of camp stools, putting up of tents, and all work of this kind. Then the girls spread the cloth, get out the wooden pie plates that serve as dishes, mix the salad dressing and slice the cake; if caterpillar or two drops upon the improvised table, why it only makes more fun for the guests.
 Perhaps one reason why the picnic is such q favorite diversion with young people is because it offers such un- limited occasions for quiet irritation While spooning in a conservatory Is ai- ways sure to attract the attention ot number of people, the couple that stray away to gather daisies or wild roses in the woodland grove are never even remarked.
 Ice is one of the necessary eoneoml- tants of an up-to-date picnic, but, of course, it can ordinarily be obtained either at the journeys end or near by. 1t can be carried in pails, which will afterward serve as wine coolers and to keep the ices if any are brought. These, although delicious, are hard to preserve in their frozen state

 It is q fact that the picnic of our childhood is experiencing | revival. It is reappearing in an idealized form, but B picnic still It has become the fash ion to organize parties for these in formal jaunts into the woods or by some quiet river or lakeside, where ta- blec1oths are spread upon the grass and luncheon served in the most charm ing al fresco manner, with the blue sky for q canopy and the summer breezes making music sweeter than that of all the Hungarian orchestras Of the sea- son.
 It is said that the modern picnic was organized by lively little society woman who was spending few weeks in town after her return from Europe and before her departure for the fami- ly palace at Newport. She found that all the nice men were in town, and few of the most entertaining women could be brought i'll by telegraph from the seaside. It was impossible for her to entertain at home, owing to the fact that her drawing-rooms were swathed in ghostly Holland draperies.
 Therefore she thought of a picnic in the suburbs, with the coolest and daintiest of dishes served in gypsy fash ion on the grass. The year before she had given fete on the roof of her town house in midsummer for charity, and the picnic she considered an even more original idea.
 The first picnic proved such an un- mistakable success that society fol- lowed suit, and the woman luxuriating at a five dollar a day hotel at the sea

 900, and his disinterestedness may pre- sumably be taken for granted. It seems that he visited the governor at Ellerslie and formally asked permission to sue for the love of the young lady. Mr. Morton is understood to have told the suiter that he must gain the consent of the fair maid herself before he could consider the matter as a possibility. But the young man intimated that he feared his efforts in that direction might be futile without some parental encouragement. Of course. it is to be understood that the facts ill the case are given from observation only, not from the evidence of the only persons competent to give them, namely, the people most concerned. However, the young man finally proposed to the young lady and was rejected, it seems, much to the general surprise. That did not discourage him, and he is said to have repeated his proposal, but always disastronsly, and he has been seen to leave the young lady's presence very dejectedly. The, incident is beginning to attract attention in the inner social circles, and even bets have been made among the feather-brained element of the Four Hundred as to the ultimate result The governors neutrality in the matter is deemed a very fine show. of tact

 The new woman and the summer girl begin to blend their identities. The summer girl is an apostle of the Trilby craze this season, and she has devoted good deal of attention to her feet pre- paratory to the summer campaign, and she goes barefooted with her pink so1es and her polished toenails down on to the sands by the sea. She sits in the sand with her feet in all their nude and rosy loveliness, sticking out in front of her. dazzling the sunshine and tempt ing the rays and the breezes to give them fond coat of tan. Then at night she bathes them in lemon juice and puts cold cream and pink lotions upon them, and eventually she treads hearts beneath them. Her bathing suit is more abbreviated than in former years, and her hair was never furnished so smoothly over her shape1y head. She can talk about the up-to-date novel, too, and she believes in mission for woman and thinks about 1t good deal while she polishes her toenails. The summer girl learns about the new woman.

shore sighed as she read letter from home telling her of the gay times the stay-at-home picknickers were having in town.
 Then these festive affairs were or. ganized at the hotels and farmhouses, and since the advent of July they have been the rage, so much so that the pro prietor of one very well-known hostelry was heard to say last week that lun- cheon had become an unnecessary func- tion at his place. as the guests all took themselves off with the entire contents of his larder packed in hampers and boxes about the time of day usually devoted to the dejeuner.
 Some of these up-to-date picnics given within the last few weeks have been marvels of lavish expenditure and eccentricity. Coaches have carried the party to their destination, while a whole stage full of servants went along to prepare the feast and wait upon the guests. When the woodland retreat was reached some adventurous young matron of the smart set would astonish the assembled guests by removing her
  brook with feet of true Trilby perfec- tion.
 The caterpillars and ambitious bugs which we have grown to associate with picnics are not to be found at these fin de siecle junketings. Rugs and mar quee tents are brought along and spread upon the grass. Wine bottles are placed in ice-packed coolers. and frozen fruits and creams are protected from the heat amid branches and vines of green. At some distant spot fire is built and kettle boiled5in gypsy style. so that cup of tea may be made for anyone wishing it.
 The menus served at some of these "picnics" are finer than anything seen at the swagger luncheons of the win ter. The fact that they have become q fad with the smart" people which often means the eccentric rich, makes a large outlay of money natural con- sequence. 1t is at an unconventional entertainment of the sort that the average man feels happiest, and if his wife is foremost in getting up one of these suburban parties he foots the bills with far more grace than for the winter events which are followed by such overwhelming statements from the caterer, the florist and the wine merchant.
 But the society girls picnic, although a very smart function indeed, is more in the line of the old-fashioned picnic. Frequently the girls meet at one house and then start off in trains or street cars for the scene of their merry mak- ing. Often they are laden with boxes, disdaining the aid of servants for the trip. The girls of the party arrange between themselves to divide the lunch con into parts, each girl providing one. Then. if men are invited, they ysbring bottled claret and white wines, also
