Terrell is Being Praised.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. 20
From what can be learned here lit
would seem the situation in Ana
tolia is much more tranquil than
for some time past, and there is no
doubt that efforts are being made
to obtain order there. The governor
of Hadjin, who has threatened to
burn the convent and barley fields
there, has, owing to strong repre-
sensations made to the porte by Mr..
Terrell, been recalled and his
conduct inquired into. Members
of the American colony here, as
we'll as other foreign residents OF
this city and vicinity, join in prais-
ing the energetic and effective act
of Mr.. Terrell. There seems to be
no doubt that his representations
to the porte has been the means OF
saving American lives and preserv-
ing American property. The Ar
menian patriarch denies that any
further demonstration is contem-
plated by Armenians in Constanti-
nople. although" he adds, ODE
spair reigns among them owing to
the incessant arrests and execu-
tions OF their people"
The absence of news from lei
toun, which the Armenians are
still said to be holding in strong
force, and the failure Of the gov
eminent to furnish any informa-
tion regarding the concentration
of Turkish troops at Marash for an
advance on Zeitoun, is causing un-
easiness, beside no news is obtain
able concerning the rising OF the
Druzs against Turkish rule. This
is one OF the most serious features
Of the whole situation.

Reed Will be Speaker.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The
arrival of a number of senators
and members last night and to-
day, including Ex-Speaker Reed,
has served to increase the discus
sion over the reorganization Of the
house of congress, and the prospect
is now, that this will be the upper
most question in congressional
circles until the house contest is
settled and it is decided whether
the senate will reorganiZe. The
fact that the speakership is uni
versally conceded to Mr.. Reed has
had the effect of concentrating in
terest in other elective offices. Gen.
Henderson and Mr.. Mcdowell are
still the only two candi-
dates for the house clerkship and

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Billy
Delaney has severed his connec-
ton with Jim Corbett and gone to
California. He does not think
Corbett is doing right in retiring
from the prize ring.
Said he: GAS Jim is not going
to fight he will have no further
use for me. Pm very sorry that l
cannot serve him, for he has al
ways treated me right. 1 do not
think he is doing right in retiring
from the prize ring. He can whip
a lot of people who think they can
fight. If he pursues such course
his troubles will begin anew.
The public won't have it, believe
me. / know the pulse of the peo-
pie only too well. They will
neither recognize Jim as an actor
nor a retired champion. They
want to see him fight, and mark
my words they will make it so I'M
pleasant that he will have to enter
the ring once more. Corbett is
more popular than you think, and
there are a number Of people who
would like to see him meet Fitz-
simmons and defeat him. Jim can
beat the Australian easily, mark
me, and it won't take him long to
demonstrate the fact"

BELvIDERE, n. V, Nov. BON
November 18th, Grant Keller, OF
Easton, pleaded guilty in the War
rem county court here OF horse
stealing and Judge Morrow sem
fenced him to two years in state
prison at hard labor. Keller learn
ing that the sheriff had arranged
to take him to Trenton, made an
effort to break jail Thursday night.
He was again brought before the
court Friday morning and his
sentence was increased to five
years. This so incensed Keller
that he became violent and with
closed fists made a move toward
the judge, calling him a vile name.
Keller was hastily removed by the
sheriff and at | p. m, was taken to
the depot handcuffed to Edward
Cliff, who was also sentenced to
state prison for two years for high
way robbery.
Judge Norcross was also at the
station intending to take the same
train. As he was stepping on the
cars Keller, in the custody of the
sheriff, was brought up behind.
Keller, still in rage, make a
desperate break. He kicked the
judge and at the same time, by
superhuman effort, attempted to
force him under the wheels of the
starting train. The sheriff and
passengers succeeded in rescuing
the judge who ordered the desper-
do returned to the county Jail and
he will now be given twenty years.
Keller was in frightful rage at
being defeated in his terrible pur-
pose, and vows that he will take
the life OF the judge IL he himself
lives to regain his liberty.
