ONT of Reach of Aid.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The scene
of the Kharput massacre is far in
land, and beyond the reach of man
of-war, which would be obliged to
pass the Dardanelles and enter the
Black sea to approach even the neigh
boring coast. There is reason to be-
lieve that Mr. Terrell, in addition to
strongly insisting to the Porte upon
the protection of the Americans there,
has urged them to come to the coast,
where they can be more readily as
sisted by the American men-of-war
now off the Syrian coast. AS the re-
ports indicate that the missionaries
themselves have escaped the massacre
unharmed, it is probable that the
amends required from the Turkish gov
ernment by the United States will be
confined to a demand for payment on
account of the property destroyed.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.--Three
desperate men made an attempt last
night to rob the Adams Express money
car on the train leaving the Pennsyl-
vania railroad station, Jersey City, at
8 o'clock, but fortunately for the ex-
press company, the men made mis-
take and got into Car No. 5945, which
contained only merchandise. The men
boarded the car in Jersey City and
after the train pulled out of the depot
they pried the door open and Secreted
themselves inside. Their presence on
the train was not known until the
train had reached Morrisville, Pa,
town on the opposite side of the Della

men, evidently becoming alarmed at be-
ing uncomfortably close to Philadel-

DRINKS ON ELLIS ISLAND.
Why Beer Is Sold There to the
Immigrants.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.--Com-
missioner General Stump, of the i'm
migration bureau, has sent a letter
to a. n. Hanna, secretary of the
Christian Endeavor Union of Belair,
Nd, in which he replies to the reso-
lutions recently adopted by the union
protesting against the continuance of
''the six saloons" in operation on Ell
lis Island, and sating that the efforts
of the W. C. T. U. to help immi-
grants landing there have been an
tagoniZed and frustrated by them.
In his letter, Mr.. Stump says that
there is no water on Ellis island eX-
cept cistern water, which becomes
hrackish; that the soft" drinks for
sale, such as ginger ale, soda. etc,
were distasteful to immigrants; that
most of them were accustomed to
the use of beer and light wines as
part Of their daily nourishnent. and
that it was thought the granting of
the privilege of selling beer, if prop
erly guarded, would result beneficial
ly and protect the immigrants
against the imposition of deleterious
drugs. This privilege, under strict
regulations, was granted July Z, 1893
In conclusion, Mr.. Stump says there
are mo saloons" on Ellis island that
no spirituous. liquors are allowed to
be sold, and beer only under strict

IN NEED OF HELP.
The kharput Outrages Alarm the
Mission Board.

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 16.-The fol-
lowing cablegram was received today
by the American board of foreign mis-
sions, from Rev. H. o. Dwight, of Con-
stantinople, by way of Philipopolis:
Five hundred were killed in Har-
poot; eight out of twelve mission
buildings burned; lives spared; houses
stripped; Turks will regard this as test
of intention of United States to defend
missions. No missionaries anywhere
killed; Villages everywhere desolate;
people naked and starving. Instant
help. Dwight"
The news of the massacre and devas-
tation of the American mission at Har
poot, when received at the rooms of
the American board of foreign mis-
sions here, caused the greatest con-
sternation, as the Kharput mission was
not only one of the most prosperous
and successful, but was also considered
the most secure from trouble. The
buildings destroyed are those of the
American board. Kharput is 200

DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. 16.-With
his throat cut from ear to ear, an
unknown man lies dying at st. Luke's
hospital in this city, and the deepest
mystery surrounds the case. Who
the man is or how he came by his in
juries. the police and the doctor who
took him to the hospital refuse to
state. The man is not over twenty
five years of age, is a short, we'll
built young fellow. with smooth face
and blue eyes. He is known at the
hospital as Charles Benson, but that
is simply a name he was given by the
hospital people when he was brought
in. Early last Sunday morning Ben
son was taken to the hospital by DR..
James McAuliffe and an unknown
man, so the hospital people say, but
this is denied by the doctor, who
says he knows nothing of the case.
The wound in the mans throat had
already been dressed when he was
received at the hospital, and the at
tendants We're instructed to see that
he wanted for nothing. All attempts
to find out who the man is, or how he
received his injuries, are discouraged
by the police, DR.. McAuliffe and the
hospital authorities. and the man
will die without being able to ex-
plain it.
1t is reported tonight that Benson
is in reality a wealthy young man
from one of the larger cities, who
came here to visit the wife of Du-
luth citizen during the absence Of
the latter from the city. The hus-
band returned unexpectedly, and,
finding his wife and the young man
together, drew knife and attempted
to Kill the destroyer of his home.

Axe Said to Have Fallen on Some
brotherhood Men.
1t is said that a complication has
arisen in the dismissal of a number
of Great Northern A. r. U. men
who also belonged to other organiza-
tions. The only ground, however, for
the suspicion is the fact that P. Fl.
Morrissey, grand master of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen, with
headquarters at Galesburg, ILL.,, came
to st. Paul yesterdy. Mr. Morrissey
is a scholarly man, and has the ap-
-pearance of a college professor. He
declined to discuss the purpose Of his
visit, but seemed to be satisfied that
President Hill did not intend to car
ry the war into the brotherhoods.
Mr.. Morrissey had apparently settled
in his own mind the apprehension
as to President Hills belligerency.

Judge Parish yesterday afternoon
granted the petition of the taxpayers
and signed an order requiring Mayor
a. c. Probert to appear before the
court Dec. 16 and show cause why he
should not be removed from office. The
petition charges Probert with malfeas-
ance in office in that he secured the
misrepresentation of $4,000 of public
funds, discounted town orders contrary
to law, and in various other ways vto
lated his oath of office. 1t is probable
that criminal actions will also be COM

Completely Flooded With

Completely Flooded With
Grain.
DULUTH Mimi, Nov. 16.-Reports
received here from Buffalo by vessel
owners and brokers are to the effect
that there is no let-up in the grain re-
ceipts, and the blockade at the rail ele-
vators is constantly growing worse.
The boats arriving yesterday had about
]. .235, 600 bushels to add to the vast guam
tity already in the elevators or afoat,
and vessels are hung up ali along the
creek. The low stage of water is add
ing to the confusion, as many ships are
on the bottom, and block the channels,
keeping all below them that could 9TH
erwise so to docks and unload. The
only remedy for the grain blockade is
to allow the canal boats to carry some
of the grain, but the railroads will not
turn over a bushel as yet to the boats,
although it is very apparent that they
are flooded with the work. Unless
some means is taken in a very short
time breaking the blockade, Buffalo
harbor will be in such a state that it
will take nearly all the rest of the
season of navigation to clear the block
ade.

tary Hewitt, of the state board of
health, has made a report to the local
board of health upon the city water
supply, as furnished by the st. Cloud
Water, Light and Power company. On
examination and analysis, he comes to
the conclusion that the supply is very
bad. The trouble seems to be with
the filtering process. He says that the
water gives a less favorable analysis
than the river at Minneapolis. 1t is
claimed that the intake pipe takes the
water from the back-water, formed by
the dam, and that the pipe should be
extended UP the river into quick water.
