THE UNSPEAKABLB TURK Still Exercising All His
 DeViltry. ArmenianS Being MasSacred in Constantinople. Pillage of the Property of Christians Without Protest from the
 Government.

CoNsrANTINoPLE. Oct. The city is in tumult and no prospect of peace appears between the warning factions of Turk and Christian.
 The authorities allege themselves powerless, but are making no effort whatever to check the massacre of Ar menians.
 The dervishes still are leading on the ignorant populace, and at least fifty Christians were murdered today. Twenty were beaten to death In cafe in one of the main thoroughfares.
 Kassin Pasha, one of the leading Ar menians, was killed in his own house, together with number of relatives.
 No indignities have as yet been of fered in this city to the representatives of foreign gover mente, but the French consul at Damascus telegraphs that he was pelted with mud by a mob and aske the French mbassy to demand reparation from the Porte.

HEAVY DOWNPOUR.
Phoenix and Vicinity Visited by a.
 Rainstorm.

The weather prophets have re- deemed themselves as far as the pre- diction of heavy rain was concerned.
 Yesterday evening black, sultry looking clouds appeared on the north ern horizon, which to the experienced eye denoted sand or rain storm. The wind began blowing about 5 o'clock and increased in velocity until about 8 o'clock, when the fioodgates of heaven opened. The rain had no particular effect on the circus goers, but very few stayed for the concert Despite the downpour the mammoth tents were lowered to the ground and loaded on the wagons.
 The regular train arrived at Mari copa on time, but telegraphic reports from there state that it is raining heavily also at Florence and at Casa Grande.
 Up to Il o'clock the M. & P. track between this city and Tempe was re- ported in good condition, but it is very doubtful that the same condition ex- ists between there and Kyrene, for the water rushes across the sloping desert at that point with great velocity and it is impossible for the track to with stand the flood.

PHGNIX BALL PLAYERS.
Prospects for the Foundation of g
 Strong Club.

Prospects for the Foundation of a
 Strong Club.
 '1f Phoenix could get up a team of ball players who are acquainted with each other," said 8 grsndstand enthu- siast the other day, "she might stand a chance of winning 8 few tries at the great American game.
 Why" continued the speaker, "1 was present at the games with Fort Thomas and, really. the outfielders didn't know their first baseman from a runner. The composition of the club was all right. Every man knew the game. Yet Phoenix did not have a good nine. It was a nine of good players, which is all the difference in the world"
 Somehow baseball has always been the weak point of Phoenix athletes. though they have trium phea at everything else athletic from cycling to cricket. The city now is large enough to boast of even more than single club worthy of meeting on the diamond field the best players that other southwestern towns may boast, and movement will soon be made toward securing financial back ing. A good ball team is of decided benefit to the business element of 8 city, and no difficulty is anticipated in the formation of strong and we'll. backed nine.

THE ELIBERATION OF CUBA Diplomats to Be Sent to Washington.
  A Campaign of Education in This Country.
Washington Is Now to Be Made the Base of a Northern
 Campaign.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-It is now known definitely that within few days will arrive in this city commissioners authorized to represent the newly or ganized Cuban republic, and to take such steps as may be possible, in an unofficial way, toward securing recog- nition from the United States.
 Under the regulations of diplomatic usage, neither the president nor secre- tary of state can receive these com missioners, and their present utility will be limited, as in the case of the late Chilian insurgents, to 8 work of education among the masses.
 But the fact has not been overlooked that within very short period there will be steady inflow of politicians to Washington, in anticipation of the convening of congress, and with sena- tors the members the commissioners can plead their cause and at the same time not violate precedent or custom.
 The almost immediate location of sn unofficial legation in this city is greatly simplified by the fact that Gonzalo de Quesado, one of the diplomatic agents to the United States chosen by the re. gently formed de facto government. is secretary of "De Partido Revolucion. ario Cubano," which comprise all the organizations of Cuban sympathizers sy in this country.
 Associated with De Quesado in New York is Benjamin Guerra, treasurer of .'Del Partido Revolucionario Cubano," who has been designated as a minister of finance for the new Cuban republic.
 Representatives in this city of the Cuban patriots express great delight at the foundation of de facto govern ment and feel that it is the beginning of the end in their long struggle for in dependence. Especial satisfaction is felt at the selection of Bartolome Masso as president.
 He is unanimously pronounced to be @ man of the utmost respeeta bility, in- telligent, educated and capable. His connection with the insurgent move ment from it's incipiency has done more than all things else to give is standing and stability.
 Those familiar with the Cuban situa.

ton do not now believe that the recog- hilton of belligerents' rights will be &C., corded by the president prior to the assembling of congress. The precedent established by Gen. Grant in 1875 has been carefully considered by the ad. ministration.
 Before carrying into practical opera tion President Grants idea of interven- tion, it would be necessary to again ad- dress a general note to the various European powers requesting an ex- pression of sentiment from each re. garding the advisability of intervention in the affairs of Cuba.
 It would be necessary to await a re. ply from each of these powers before evolving plan of action.
 In carrying out such policy it would be imperative that the great powers should be consulted. This course is es- sential in order to ascertain whether Spain now has in force, with any of the influential nations. secret treaties by which she is guaranteed possession of Cuba for certain period of years.
 There have been several instances in the past where such treaties have ex. isted and under the provisions of which each nation appearing as party thereto was pledged to forcibly resist the establishment of Cuba as an inde- pendent government.
 Similar treaties may be in force at the present moment, and should the United States decide upon policy of intervention without first ascertaining to what extent these alliances are ef- fecrive, this government might unex- pectedly be compelled to fight not only Spain. but England, France, Austria, Germany, one or all, and possibly the combined power of Europe.

A SAGACIOUS ANIMAL.
Or, Dude, a Bag of Peanuts and
 an Elephant.


 an Elephant.
 A young dandy at the menagerie was showing bevy of girls how to feed pea nuts to an elephant.
 The sagacious animal would open his jaws and the dude, with more or less uncertain aim, would throw nuts into the cavernous depth.
 The elephant considered progress too slow, and when the dandy turned for an instant to speak to the ladies e stuck out his trunk and frantically tried to reach the pocket that held the bag of nuts.
 He only succeeded in getting a tail hold on the coat and gave vicious jerk. The young man was hauled against the ropes, but as he could be pulled no farther something had to come, for the animal wanted to get at the nuts. An ominious rent showed what was to be expected. Another good jerk on the elephants part and the man had only half coat, while cunning animal had the other part and the peanuts.
 The girls smiled at the young fellow E discomiture, but he could not kick and viewed the ring performance in his shirt sleeves.

IT BROUGT A CROWD.
How the Wallace Circus Took the
 City.

The circus has come and has passed.
 It was great day in Phoenix and, incidentally, a very smooth sort of
 day for the circus. People from Mesa
 to Buckeye, from Peoria to Kyrene, all were in the city, and long before
 noon the streets were lined with the
 brawn and beauty of the common wealth, waiting for the street parade and the glories of it's pageantry. The parade came late The trains
 were late and not until noon were the tents in place.
 AS to the show, it is a good one and the same show that has descended unto
 us in the past three decades, from eke the time of Yankee Robinson-same sideshows, same concert" same pink lemonade, same uneasy elephants and chattering monkeys, same little rings, wherein the little lady" goes round
 and round on the broad back of broad-gauge horse, same tumblers and
 clowns and all. Really there is no doubt the people would have been dis appointed had it have been otherwise.
 In this world of progress, the circus is
 one of the few features of amusement
 that has been maintained upon con- servative lines. If improvement is
 made, it is only in the matter of ad-
 ding another ring to the arena or few more animals to the menagerie,
 and to provide better facilities for ease
 and rapidity in management.
 After the crowd itself, the especially excellent feature in this circus was the horses a hundred of them, mag
 nificent Percheron grades, for the
 greater part, sleek and well cared for
 The statuary was applauded and the bicycle riders more especially clever. The especially objectionable features
 lay in the fact that second half dol lar was called for before a decent seat could be secured and ill that the most barefaced advertising features were introduced even into the arena

LIVELY FOR DURRAN7. The RoII-Call Book Is
 ImpeaChed. A Meddlesome Citizen Fined
 for Contempt.
Carrie Cunningham, Reporter In Danger Through
 Similar Cause.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-The trial of Theodore Durrant was replete with sensations today.
 Henry J. Mccoy, general secretary of the Y. M. c. A., who was cited for con- tempt last Monday for telling Juror Truman that if he did not hang Dur rant the people would hang him, was fined $250, with an alternative of five days in the county jail.
 During the cross-examination of a witness summoned by the defense, the prosecution developed the fact that a student at Cooper medical college who did not attend the lecture delivered TIIdy 10 uoouIslJB eql uo Geu9qO Gq 8, was recorded present in the roll call book This testimony is of the great est importance to the prosecution from the fact that it showed the unreliabil- ity of the roll call book, in which Dur rant was recorded present on the af- ternoon that Blanche Lamont was murdered.
 The last sensation of the day was an order made by the court committing Miss Carrie Cunningham, newspaper reporter, to the county jail for refus- ing to answer a question. The defense desired to impeach the testimony of Mrs. Leak, who said she did not tell Miss Cunningham that she saw Dur rant and Miss Lamont enter Emanuel Baptist church on the afternoon of April 8. Miss Cunningham testified that Mrs. Leake did not tell her what she had seen, but when asked to re- veal the source of her information, the witness declined to answer. An order was made committing the witness to the county jail for contempt, but, on motion of the defense, it was made to go into effect tomorrow morning, when Miss Cunningham will be given an op- portunity to answer the question. The defense placed on the stand to- day eight more students who attended the lecture deliveT1si- by Dr. Cheney on the afternoon of April 3, to testify as to whether they had answered tc Durrant's name at roll call. Each wit ness gave negative answer.
 The importance of the testimony sought to be obtained from Miss Gun ningham lies in the fact that it is ap- parently the last hope of the defense to break down the strong testimony given by Mrs. Leak. Mrs. Leak tes- tified she had told the story of how she had seen Durrant and Blanche Lamont enter Emanuel church a few minutes after 4 o'clock on the after noon of April 8 to only one person whom she named. The defense de sires to know the source of Miss Gun ningham's information in order that it may call to the stand the person who told her. If that person should not prove to be the one named by Mrs Leak as her only confidant, the de fense would have made strong point against Mrs. Leaks testimony.
 It is not believed Miss Cunningham will divulge the source of her informa tion. If the defense insists upon the question Mics Cunningham will be given another opportunity to answer il in the morning. when, if she refuses she will be sent to prison for contempt

BELIEVED TO BE MURDER
Too Many Shots to Have Been Sui-
 eide.

HoLYoKE, Mass, Oct. 3 Richard Reinhart, 60 years of age, was found dead in room in the attic of wooden building at 175 Lyman street last even- ing, and between his legs lay revolver, which had undoubtedly caused his death. There was wound in the top of his head and another on his breast. Reinhart went to Holyoke from Wall ingford, Ct., about two weeks ago and his wife found work in boarding house, but he has been unable to work on account of poor health.
 The medical examiner thinks that after firing one of the shots as it en- tered the body, no man could have fired the second into himself, and thinks there is cause for investiga- tiOn.
