SULTAN WARNED AGAIN.
Intervention of European Powers In
Turkey Grows More Likely.

Intervention of European Powers In
Turkey Grows More Likely.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov 1O.-Via Sofa,
Bulgaria, Nov. II. An important meet
ing of the am mbassadors was held here
today.
1t was decided to send fresh represen-
tations to the Turkish minister for for
eign affairs, Tewfik Pasha, renewing in
much stronger language the de-
mands addressed by the ambassa-
dors to Tewfik Pasha's predecessor,
Said Pasha, on November 5, and in
ssting upon being informed without
further delay as to what measures the
porte contemplates taking in order to
restore order in Armenia and reminding
the Turkish government that it has
already been notified of the intention of
the powers acting in concert to take
their own steps in the matter should it
develop the action of the porte is made
quate to deal with the state of anarchy
prevailing in Anatolia.
The opinion is freely expressed that
nothing short of a naval demonstration
will awaken the Turks to a realization of
the actual condition of affairs.
The general impression prevails
stronger than ever today that European
Intervention IN the administration OF the
affairs of the Turkish empire will very
soon become absolutely necessary in
order to avert further and much more
serious bloodshed.
PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE Figaro this morn
ing announces that three French war
ships have left Cannes for Turkish waters
prepared to cope with any emergency.
The most horrible accounts are con-
stantly arriving here in spite of the
efforts taken to suppress them of massa-
cres and depredations in the eastern
provinces in which the Kurdish tribes
are said to have perpetrated atrocities
more terrible than any before credite d
to them.
1t is stated upon apparently good
authority that whole districts of Erzeroum
and Sivias, the scenes of so much blood
shed in the province. have been devas-
tated by the Kurds who have wiped vii
lage after village out of existence and
that the sword and fire are sweeping over
the country.

The Sultan is Again Warned by
the Powers.
European Intervention in Tur-
key Seems Near at Hand.

LONDON, Nov 1.-THE Paris CORES
pondent of the Times says it is under
stood that only the Intervention of the
Rothschilds on Saturday prevented the
panic at Paris from becoming positively
disastrous.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Berlin says that but for the assistance
rendered by the Rothsckilds on Saturday
Bourse prices would have closed still
weaker. The panic could not have been
worse on the eve of a general European
war.
Today, however the feeling has quiet
ed down considerably
PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE Rappel this

houses have decided to place at the

Baron De Rothschild will preside to-

WANT FEWER OFFICES.
A Movement to Reduce. the Number of
City Officials In Kansas.

City Officials In Kansas.
ATCHIsoE, Kas., Nov. 11.-As result
of the recent conference of business men
and taxpayers, a movement in the direc-
tion of municipal reform, which un-
doubtedly will be strengthened and
accelerated by business sentiment
ard cooperation in other cities
of the first class in Kansas, has just been
inaugurated in Afchison. The primary
object. of the movement is to bring
about legislation SO as to cut the horde
of office holders, with which such cities
as Atchison, Topeka, Leavenworth.
Wichita and Kansas City are afflicted,
in two.
The later acts of the legislature have
almost doubled the army of office holders
in the cities of the first class, and created
ii machine in each big enough to run a
city of 100000 people. Under the exist
ing charter each ward of the city has
two members of the board of education,
and two members of the council I'm
doubtedly one from each ward would be
a great plenty.
There are, under existing laws, city
engineer, a street com missioner and a
street tax collector, each drawing
handsome salary. All three could be
consolidated. There is a meat inspector
and market master. The twain could
be made one.
There are also several other Offices
created simply to give places to ward
strikers that could be abolished with
perfect propriety.
The watch word is a new charter for
th6 cities of the first class, and charter
that shall be drafted by the business
men and not by city officials.

Woman Reformer.

a COlored Baby Rules the HOms Of the
Woman Reformer.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Probably no
child in all New York is the recipient of
more petting and attention than the
little Afro-American whom Mrs. Eliza
beth B. Grannis is bringing up under
her vine and fig tree.
The baby, who bears the name of
"Christian League Goodyear" is a little
over u year old. She has her meals at
the table with the family. instead of the
remote seclusion of the nursery, uses the
drawing room as a favorite play ground,
has her frock changed four times day,
and is hushed to sleep in the arms of
Mrs. Grannis herself to the soft music
of "Mammy's Little Alabama Coon"
When asked how she happened to Sc
lect such pet, Mrs. Granais said:
sit was not case of choice. I found
this baby and its mother little over a
year ago on door step near the Office of
Mr. Blake, superintendent of the poor,
aud 1 felt sure that / almost knew that
girls record when l stepped into the
shadow to watch her and the little mid

kan rings of fine black hair. It had
been entered at Bellevue hospital when
one day old and discharged from

earth. The mother had spent Ler last
penny for food, aud had no clothing for
herself or her baby except what they
wore. / had at the time very excellent

nary; l secured her position to teach in
Virginia, and established the baby and its
mother in my household"

CAN'T GET BACK THE 5000.
Commissioners RemItted Santa Fe Taxes
and Now Seek to Make It Good.


and Now Seek to Make It Good.
The county commissioners of Shaw
nee county are trying to collect over
$500 from the state which the county
donated to the Santa Fe railroad compa-
nv in 1898, when that road paid it's taxes.
The Santa Fe in 1898 objected to the
way the Populist state board of railroad
assessors taxed The property of that road
and the tax commissioner of the Santa
Fe succeeded in convincing the county
commissioners in several counties that
the road was enormously assessed and
got the commissioners to give the rail
road rebate.
The commissioners of Shawnee county
gave a rebate of $667.16 to the Santa Fe
IN its taxes for 1898 and the county is
out Just that much.
County Commissioner Campbell few
days ago called on State Auditor Geo. Z.
Cole and presented a claim against the
state for the $68716.
Auditor Cole refused to allow the claim
and told Mr.. Campbell that it was his
understanding that the county commits
sioners had no business changing the
railroad assessment, that the county COM
missioners had no right to either assess
railroads or eQualize the railroad assess
ment as the state has a board of railroad
assessors whose business it is to attend
to such matters.
Auditor Cole referred Mr.. Campbell to
the attorney general and that officer in
formed the county commissioner that
the county could not claim anything from
the state on an equalization of railroad
taxes.

Cleveland, Olney and Carlisle
May Become Partners.
Such a Law Firm is COntem-
plated by Them.
OFFICE IN NEW YORK.
The Presidents Position Would
Be Office Adviser.
Carlisle Would Do the Talking
for Them.

WASHINGTON, Nov IL "Clevela nd
Olney & Carlisle" or "Cleveland, Carlisle
& Olney," may be the title of the great
est law firm in the United States after
the 4th of March. 1897, seventeen months
hence.
The president and the two cabinet sec-
retaries nearest to him, already have in
mind what they will do at the close
of the present administration. They
have no political plans. Each sincerely
believes that his active public career
will end with his term. The proposition
of such firm connection as indicated
has already received consideration. Mr.
Carlisle had determined to go to New
York and open a law office, associating
with him his two sons. before the part
nership with the president was sug
gested.
Mr.. Olney will not leave Boston, but
that fact will in 10 way interfere with
the plan. A Boston branch of the great
firm, particularly with the ex-secretary
of state at the head of it has a promising
look.
The presidents position in such a firm
as proposed would be that of the office
adviser It would not take him into
courts or where public argument is nee
essary. That kind of work is distasteful.
Mr.. Olney's inclination is in the direction
of Office practice. In such firm man
like Mr. Carlisle, to attend to the more
public duties and to make the arg guments
will be Indispensable.
If the firm is formed as talked of it
will be on equal terms, each member of
it being entitled to onethird of the profits
of the business. There will be plenty of
lucrative work in it for Dir. Carlisle's
sons, from whom the father is not will
ing to be separated. Two kinds of cases
international and financial, which would
seek such firm would be the most i'm

mouth ago two young men had a quan-
tity of stationery printed in thl1 c,ty,pur-
porting to be office letter heads of the
Atchson. Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad
company. They also had rubber stamp
made bearing the following: "a. T. and

Detectives are here looking for the
men who had the printing done. 1t ap-
pears that discharged members of the
American Railway union, in many states
have been furnished for consideration
letters OF recommendation purporting TO
be signed by the master of transporta-
ton or other officers of
the Santa Fe stating that
the bearer had been employed
by that road; that his services were valu-
able, and that he was worthy of temploy-
ment
The forged signature is accompanied
by the imprint of the bogus office stamp.
1t is also said the letter heads and stamp
were used in procuring passes that have
been worked off through scalpers.

bers of the junior class in oratory, ap-
peared in the class room today in bloom

Prof Cummock was in the class room
when the girls appeared.
After calling the roll he called upon
Miss Dewey to take the platform. She

out an excuse that she was not prepared
to reciie. He called upon several other
bloomerites, but all pleaded the same
excuse.
The professor said he would occupy
the hour himself. He delivered u
pathetic recitation, which brought tears
10 the eyes of the girls, but unfortunately
they had no handkerchiefs and were
forced to allow the tears to trickIe down
their faces

JOY AT HOSPITAL BEDS,
Marlborough-V Vanderbilt Wedding Flow
Sent to Cheer the Sick.


New YORK, Nov 1.-THE greater
part of the flowers that decorated st.
Thomas church and made a bowery way
of the great arches for the Vanderbilt
Marlborough wedding have been given
to the city hospitals.
In one of the little cots at the New
York hospital, child, puny and weak,
whose pinched face was as white as the
sheet on the bed, reached out her thin
arms towards an enormous mass of white
roses on nearby table.
The patient nurse who sat by the cot
side arose, took one rose from the jar and
placed it in the hand of the child.
The child smiled. "It's present from
the Duchess of Marlborough" whis-
pered the nurse as she bent low.
Good lady" answered the child. In
another moment she was fast asleep,
still clutching the flower.
