formation received fully confirms
the statements Of Turkey that the
riots at Bitlis and Zeitoum were
by Armenians in response to orders
from the Armenian nation.
Bitiis has a population Of thirty
five thousand, including twelve
hundred Armenians and sixteen
hundred Kurds. The Armenians
removed their valuables to the
suburbs the night preceding the
rioting and set fire to two places
in the Mussulman quarters of the
city.
The Zeitoum people and Ar
menian mountaineers attacked the
buildings and fired them.
The run on the bank of Constan-
tinople Thursday was organized by
Armenians, with the intent to de-
preciate the Turkish stock. Meas
ures have been taken to prevent
the plan being successful. The
banks position is undeniably
strong.
CAN'T FIGHT IN NEW ORLEANS.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2.-Specu-
lation that the big fight would be
brought off here has been rife, but
the hope is ostracized by Presi-
dent Dickson, of the Olympic club,
who said today: 1t can be put
down as a fact that this club will
not have anything to do with Cor
bett, Fitzsimmons, or any others
matched to fight in Hot Springs.
Hot SPRINGS, Nov. 2.-The fight
is declared off and the Florida Ath-
letic club will pay the forfeit
money to the pugilists. Governor

are holding conference tonight
behind closed doors. Members

fighting this afternoon. No de-
cision has been rendered up to a
late hour.
