THE TROUBLE IN ARMENIA
A Settlement With the Powers Not improbable.
RiOting Bedouins

CON ONSTANTINOPLE. June 6.-The sit
uation as far as the settlement of the
questions in the dispute between tho
Turkish government and the repre- senta-
tives of the powers regarding reforms in
Armenia are concerned. show cor slider
able improvement today. The improve
ment is undoubtedly due to the firm at
titude of the pcwers in positively refusing
TO accept any modification OF the pro-
gramme mapp ed out for the improve
ment of the condition of Armenia. The
Turkish minister of foreign affairs. Said
Pasha. has paid frequent visits to the
British embassy since the reply of the
porte TO the nute of the powers was de-
livered, and it is hoped it will result in
pefsuadng the sultan to accept the inevi-
liable as gracefully as possible. The Incl
dent of the assault of the Turkish officer
upon the French officer may be regarded
as closed, for the Turkish government
has assured the French embassy that it
will accord the fullest satisfaction and an
indemnity will be paid to the French
officer. In addition his assailant will be
tried before military tribunal and pun
ished if found guilty.
Rioting Bedouins have destroyed the
cholera hospital erected at Ieddah FOR the
care of sick pilgrims travelling to and
from Mecca. The Turkish garrison at
Jeddah has been reinforced. nut the popu.
aton will remain on the ships in the
harbor until the arrival of the warships,

maneuver ship through it successfully.
The hurricane, or whatever class of storm
1t was that caught the Colima, would
crush the stoutest ship afoat. as if 1t
were tiny toy. Look at the terrible
force Of the waves. They tore every stitch
OF clothes off of us before we we're ten
minutes in the water. Men and women
alike were shorn of covering by the wind
and the sea. When | saw Professor
Whiting for the last time all he had
upon HIM was the shoulders of lis coat;
the rest was torn to atoms and blown
away. Poor fellow. he had lost his
nina. The terrible fate that befell his
wife and children-for he must have
known full well they were swept down to
q frightful death IN that churning wreck
age-it took his senses from him. l be-
lieve he could not realize his position
shortly before he went under the waves"
The captain stayed by his post to the
last. Just before the explosion saw
him clinging to the railing of the bridge:
as | was whirled away in the water lie
gave two faint blows of the whistle.
But he never left the bridge. He sank
with his ship"
An Investigation Will Be Held
Th United States inspectors of hulls
and boilers will hold an investigation
into the cause of the sinking of the
the inspectors. have determined upon an
official inquiry into the charge that the
cargo was not properly slowed.
1t was for the purpose Of this investiga-
tion that the testimony of the third OFF,
Ger, the store keeper and the engineers
store keeper was taken by the officers of
the Pacific Mail Steamship company.
The investigation will be purely
technical in its character and the wit
nesses can only be experts. For this
reason the only testm ony that will be of
any practical value will be that of Third
Officer Hansen. The testimony of the
two rescued storekeepers. they being
neither engineers MOI navigators. will
have but little more weight than the
statements of the passengers.
The three surviving officers of the Co.
lima have been summoned to appear to-
morrow and tell their stories in addition
to the affiddvits tnat were made TO the
officials of the Pacific Mail.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.-Proiessor
Bernard Moses. who occupies the chair of
history and political economy in the Uni
versity of California, and who has
achieved distinction as a writer on po-
ltlcal economy, recently had an un-
pleasant experience in a Mexican village.
He went south to collect data for his
tory of the Central American states. He
had intended to accompany Professor
Harold Whiting on the ill.fated Colima
but at the last moment decided to travel
overland. After crossing the Mexican
frontier he was mistaken for a default

in Jail day and a night. His appeal
to the resident express agent secured his
liberation. the express agent advising the
authorities that it was case of mistaken
identity. After leaving the Jail Mr..
Moses was locked in his room at his hotel
for another day. In his baggage were let
ters to President Diaz and other promi-
nent MeXicans.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION
California's Metropolis Leads in the
Race
Leaders Of the Republican Party Strongly
Urge San Francisco for the Place
OF Meeting

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The Washing
ton Post prints some gossip regarding the
probable location OF the next national
Republican convention. The city of San
Francis SEQ is more prominently mentioned
than any other city in the race for the
rational convention prize next year. The
Post is disposed to be somewhat sarcastic
about the chances of the Pacific coast
metropolis. 1t says in part:
Suppose the next national Republican
convention should be held IN San Fran
cisco. 1t is said that Chairman Manley
is earnest in his advocacy of the far-off
slope city and General Clarkson is very
pronounced in his support. Just how
the Republican national committee
sta nds is not so well known.
"San Francisco has sought the conyen-
ton for many years. She has sent delega-
tions across the continent to eloquently
plead with the national committee. The
lobbies of the Arlington hotel have run
red and white with California wine and
the headquarters of the delegation have
been thronged from early morning until
late at night with enthusiastic shouters
for San Franci SEQ.
'Three years ago the scene at these
headquarters baffled description. Cham
pagne-American champagne, to be sure,
but better than none at all was on tap
and never thirsty man appeared but he
went away filled to the brim with the
sparkling fluid and pledged to San Fran
cisco.
Once San Francisco paper went so far
as to publish Washington edition filled
with tributes to the Pacific slope and
with long arguments to prove how the
ticket nominated in San Francisco would
rush like a lightning express to victory.
"Somehow or other. however, when the
and speaking were over. the
plucky California town did not have
enough votes and the delegation returned
home with a story to tell of blasted
hopes and broken PROMISES.

He Can Dismiss Action for Damages Brought
by the Wife
SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.-There was
filed in the superior court today petit
tion involving the right of husband to
dismiss an action for damages. brought by
the wife. This affects every woman in
California. for decision in favor of the
petitioner means that husband can Mt
any time, for cons liberation, dismiss an
action b ought ty the wife without re-
gard to the justice of her cause. The
case in question is the suit OF Laura ID.
Cunningham against the California
Street Railway company for damages on
account of injuries received in collis-
ion.
The attorneys for the defendants have
filed petition signed by A. G. Cunning
ham, husband of the plaintiff, asking
that the suit be dismissed. Cunningham
says that he has separated from his wife.
but that no formal agreement of sepaIa-
ton has heen made between them. He
alleges that his wife was not SO badly IN
jured as she pretended to 0e, and Is at
tempting to blackmail the railway COM

nlngham has authorized the railway
company to dismiss his wlfe's suit.

luxurious manner. The decorations were
of the oriental style and there, 1t is al

the case. said today that DR.. Tonner had
made full confession. When Comstock
saw the doctor this morning the doctor
said there was nothing left for him but
suicide. The prison authorities are on
the watch that he does not get chance
