PROTECTED BY THE POWERS
Armenian Christians Will Be Gov
erned by European Viceroy.
Note Sent to the Porte That as Turkey
Can't Give Them Security Some
body Else VIII.

ContaDtinople, Aug. 4.-The reply Of the
porte to the demand OF the powers for re-
forms in Armenia is conciliatory and on
many points agrees with the powers
demands.
1t proposes TO appoint Christian assessors
to assist the Turkish provincial govern
ment and TO admit a proportion OfChristians
among the minor officials, police and
gendarmes, and also promises TO restra the
Kurds from violence. AS il also declares
that some Of the powers demands are
unacceptable, or Impossible of execution,
1t is probable that the powers will not be
satisfied with the reply.
London, Aug. 4-The Anglo Armenian
Association learns from Cons ant inople
that the signers of the Berlin treaty have
agreed to send a note to the porte, an
nouncing that, as Turkey is unable to
protect the lives OF her Christian subjects,
the powers have decided TO appoint
European high commissioner, with vice
the name OF The Sultan.
Probably Baron Won Kallay Will be ap
pointed. He comes from. an ancient noble
family OF Hungary. In 1881 he was
minister of foreign affairs for the empire
during the interim between the death
OF Count Won Haymerle and the nomination
OF kalnoky. In 1882 ne was minister
of finance in the Austrian cabinet, and
at the same time administrator OF Bosnia
and Herzegovina under the Berlin treaty,
and has given special attention to the
Eastern question all through his public
! life

By private letters it is learned that a bat

Roloff, on the first, blew up a railroad
bridge near Place-Tas, and captured a

No Immediate Proba biltty OF the

While tie consolidation of the two great
government gun plants-of the Army at
Waiervleit. n. Y, and OF the Navy at
Washington-aas been suggested, The IN
dicationS al present, are that the proposition
will not be carried out.
The Installation OF these plants has cost
many hundreds Of thousands OF dollars.
The methods Of the two services, in great
gun building, differ somewhat, and ii is
not likely that either would adopt those OF
the other unless compelled To do so.
A desire ia bring this about is believed
To lie al ;he bottom q: the discussion TO
consolidate the two. Work at both plants
at present is rather light, owing to the
small appropriations for ordnance work
made toy Congress.
The Watervliet Arsenal, however, has
plenty of building TO do If Congress Will
only make the necessary appropriation.
Ia connection with coast defenQes alone

LEGRAPHING WITHOUT WIRE.
Tesla Is Convinced of the Practica-
bility of The scheme.

Ssla Is convinced OF the fraCIlca-
bility of rhe scheme.
In connection with resonance effects
aud the problem OF transmission OF energy
over a single conductor, writes Telsa in
the Century l would say few words on
a subject which concerns the welfare OF
all. | mean the Transmission OF intel
iiglble Signals, or perhaps power, to any
distance without the use OF wires. / am
becoming daily more convinced OF the
practicability of the scheme; aud though
| know fun well that the majority of
scieutific men Will not believe ttat such re-
suits can be practically and inimedia tely
realized, yet ! think that all consider the
developments Of recent years by a number
of workers to have been such as TO encour-
age thought aud experiment in this direc-
ton. My conviction has grown so strong
that / no longer look upon this plan OF
energy or intelligence transmission as a
mere theoretical possibility, but as serious
problem IN electrical engineering which
must be carried cut some day.
The idea Of transmitting Intelligence
without wire is the natural outcome Of
the most recent results I'D electrical in
vestigations. Some enthusiasts have eX-
pressed their belief that telephony to
any distance by induction through the
air is possible. l cannot stretch my iInagi-
nation SO far, but / firmly believe that it
is practicable to disturb by means of power
full machines the electrostatiC condition of
the earth aud thus transmit intelligible
signals and perhaps power. In fact, what
is there against the carrying out Of such a
scheme? Wenow kpo hatelectric vibration
may be transmitted through q single con-
ductor. Why, then, not try to avail our
selves of the earth for this purpose? We
need not be frightened by the idea of
distance.
To the weary wauderer counting the
mile posts the earth may appear very large
but to the happiest of all men, he
astronomer, who gazes a the heavens, and
by their standard judges the magnitude
of our globe, it appears very small. And
so | think it must seem to the electrician;
for when he considers the speed with which
an electric disturbance is propelled through
the earth all his ideas of distance must
completely vanish. 4 point OF great i'm
portance would be first to know what is
the capacity of the earth aud what charge
does it contain OF electricity.

FORTUNE IN y FIDDLE.

Two years ago his uncle, one Peter Con

not pay the eXpressage of the instrument TO
Kansas. Two weeks ago he dreamed one
night that the fiddle was fuu OF money. BE
spoke about it to his wife, and the latter, be-
lieving in dreams, appropriated enough from
her butter and egg fund to pay the 50 SO
