Turkeys Response to the Demand
of the Powers.
ARMENIANS SCHARGED WITH THE BLAME
An Answer Unsatisfactory to the
Ambassadors.
PANIC AT TREBIZO OND

CONSTANTINOPLE, October 1O.-Late
today it became known that the Turkish
government had finally presented to the en-
voys of the six powers reply to their col
lective note on the subject of the recent dis
turbances here. This reply, however. is not
satisfactory to the ambassadors.
The porte in its answer, enumerated the
measures taken to preserve order and de-
clared that the Mussulmans We're not the
aggressors in the recent rioting, but that
on the contrary, the Armenians killed in
offensive Mussulmans
The Turkish government added that SO
soon as the Armenian refugees leave the
churches in which they have sought refuge
the normal aspect of the city will be re-
stored. 1t denies ordering that no food be
supplied to the refugees in the churches and
urges the ambassadors to assist in the
work of restoring order. claiming that the
Armenian agitators are intriguing to cause
fresh disturbances.
The note concludes with the assertion
that the government is about to open an
inquiry into the recent rioting with the
view of the discovering of the guilty par
ties.
In view of the unsatisfactory nature of
the porte'S reply, the six ambassadors met
today tc con Sider what shall be done fur-
ther. II is expected that the dragomans OF
the different embassies Will assist the Mus
sulmans In clearing the vicinity of Ar
menians churches of the rioters infestinS
them and in Installing the refugees in their
homes. .
The sultan continues to be greatly dis
turbed By the presence of the British fleet
eff the island Of Lemnos, and has sent
again to the ambassador of Great Britain,
Sir Philip Curric, to ask for the withdrawal
of the British warships from the vicinity
of the entrance of the Dardaneles.
Sir Philip, it is understood, persists in
refusing to recommend the withdrawal of
the squadron.
Advices received here from Trebizond,
Armenia, confirm the report that massa-
ere of Armenians has occurred there. 1t is
added that a general panic prevails in that
city. The number of killed Is not known.
Nothing definite has yet been heard from
Sivas, Van or Bitlis, where disturbances be-
tween the Turks and Armenans are re-
ported to have taken place.
consighm ent of 5000 rifles, ordered by
the Turkish government, arrived here sew
eral days ago, but they still remain on the
lighters to which they We're transferred.
the bill of the manufacturers has not been
paid and the agents of the latter decline
to give up the rifles until the money is

The Chief of Engineers Returns From

Gen. Craighill, chief of engineers, returned
to Washington this morning from a tour of
inspection of the river and harbor works
in the upper Mississippi and Missouri val

pushed forward with remarkable speed by

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
Handsome Residence Wrecked by
Flames and Water.

Flames and Water.
Today about noon there was disastrous
fire in the house Of ]. B. Colegroye, who
was formerly Star route contractor. His
handsomely furnished home at No, 100
18th street was where the fire occurred
An alarm from box 249 called out the fire
department. The fire had started in the
basement where the heating apparatus is
located, and it is thought resulted from a
fiue that was in bad condition. When the
firemen reached the house the flames had
gained considerable headway. and soon
they had followed the stairway to the
third story.
There was some hard work done by the
firemen, well as by the police The
house was virtually flooded. but this was
necessary because - the headway the
flames had gained before the firemen could
reach the house.
When the flames had been cxtinguished
and the firemen were ready to leave. the
heretofore beautiful home presented the
appearance of a complete wreck.
The police estimated the damage at So,
600. The loss is fully covered by insurance.

Some recent lettEr writers in various

Boston is provincial in several respects.
So it is. But the charge may be extend

be possible to imprison a man for debt

looked upon in other regions. and it Is
said to be possible. too. for a creditor to
intercept the salary of a man with a

sUBDuED coLoRs IN DECORATION
The Popular but Mistaken Fad Of Fur
nishing In Faded Out Tinta.

What with our symphonies in gray"
and our ''nocturnes in diluted blue, " 1t
has become question whether wo are not
carrying this fad for subducd coloring In
decoration TO a point where it has become
ridiculous, to say the least. People who
aspire to be in fashion seem to consider 1t
very vulgar and in decidedly bad form to
use hny but faded out tints in furnishing,
according to Tho Decorator and Furnish
er. The method usually pursued in this
species of household adornmcnt is certain
ly safe one when people have no knowl
edge of the laws of color or taste in tbeil
selection. The formula is about as fol
lows: They first select their carpet of q
pattern that is usually described as quiet
and unobtrusive. For the walls they will
choose one of the colors shown in the car
pet for tho drcpories another, for the up
holstcry another or perhaps several, and
SO on until we have one of those milk and
water combinations obtained by the ton
ing I'D process. There are those who prao-
tice this system to such an extent that
one might be tempted to believe it op-
posed to all canons of art to make use of
the primary colors in decorative schemes.
Let us imagine q room got up in
this fashion, the prevailing coloring being
pale coral and green, perhaps perfect
dream of soft harmonious tones, and tha
lady to preside over it all with 2 complex
ion Orwell, not the pink any white Of
the new blown rose, but something far re-
moved from it. If nature has been un
kind to her in this regard, can she not see
that by selecting for her domestic environ
ment such a system of ctioring she renders
her facial defects the more conspicuous
It is a mistake to suppose that only by
using the faded scale of coloS;ng can we
secure: that restful feeling we hear SO
much about nowadays. Some Of the most
charming interiors to be seen are those In
which the color scheme ranges from golden
olive to the warm rich browns, with the
primary tints to emphasize the ornamental
portions, bright bits of color in the shape
of pottery and water colors in gold frames
to accentuate and punctuate, as 1t vera

sonaparte,s Heroic Example.

During a stay in Jaffa in March, 1872
Bonaparte visited the hospitals, which
were filled with the sick, and where
the fever was raging with deplora bic
results. He expressed great compass
sion for their sufferings and was appar-
emily much affected by so melancholy a
spectacle. He passed through all the
wards, extending encouragement and
sympathy to the suffering. Baron Lar
rcy, the principal surgeon on the
French staff, after his return to Eu-
rope, spoke in the highest terms OF
Bonaparte's care and attention to the
sick and wounded soldiers. 81 have

Jaffa, inspecting the wards and talk

tackled by the epidemic fever, con-
duct which produced the best effects
on the spirits not only of the sick but
the whole army. This heroic example
at the same time encouraged the hos
pital attendants, whom the progress OF
the disease and the fear of contagion
had alarmed considerably"
