The Sultan Takes Armenian Affairs
Into His Own Hands.

Cons .an.nople, November pa dis
patch from Tiais, Russian Transcau-
casia, says that the Armenian Ca5holico
has received a reply from the COM
muicaton which he recently sent to the
Russian ambassador here. NJ. de Nell
don. IL is as follows:
The Armenians Of Cons,antinople
are now reassured. They are threaten
ei with no danger In the provinces,
however. there are regretable conflicts
which in most cases We're caused by
the AImeni3ns who were iusJigated by
their revolutionary committees. The
result is terrible revenge upon the part
OF the Turks, in the shape OF horrible
mass -cres OF Christians.
"T1e Sultan has sacndOned the
scheme for reforms submitted by the
three great powers, and preparations
are now proceeding to carry them out.
To -his end il is necessary that the
leaders OF the people should persuade
them TO desist from revolutionary at
tempts, to abandon the idle hope OF for
eigu intervention, to put Stop to all
disturbances, and to cooperate in the
establishment of universal peace, III
improving the situation, and in the in
production of Jhe new order Of things.
The attitude of the Sultan has under
gone a decided change since the other
fleets began to join the British reaI
in the naval demonstration in SalOnlca
Bay. There is no doubt that the pres
sure brought TO bear upon the Sultan
has been strong enough 10 make him
take personal charge Of the work OF re-
form l Armenia, and &c is now hoped
tha. here win De no further blOOdShed,
except iD the case of putting down the
instructions which have broken out
against Turkish rule In different parts
of Asia Minor il is hoped, however,
that the Armenian clergy will be able
to induce their co-religiOnists TO lay
down their arms. especially rs the sent
imCut of the whole Of Europe Is now
fin favor of the Sultan, whose evident
desire 10 meet the views Of the powers
is appreciated and has undoubtedly
tided over a difficult crisis in European
politics.
There is no longer any talk or the
ar1cd intervention OF the powers in the
Turkish empire. and if any display Of
force is necessary upon the part Of
Europe it might be in the direction Of
supporting the authority OF the Sultan,
as Great Britain. Russia and France are
extremely desirous that order should
promptly be restored throughout Asia
Minor.

Chicago, November 20.-A rent in
tht bicycle trousers of VIM. Wallace
was the indirect means of bringing out
a decree of divorce to-day.
Last summer, Wallace and his friend,
Benjamin Fisher, were scOrching along
the street, when Wallace fell off and
wrecked his trousers so badly that he
scorched hotter than ever to get out OF
the way of the police.
He went to his friend, James Hull,
and applied for the loan Of a pair OF
bicycle trousers.
Hull accommodated him, and soon
Wallace and Fisher went scorching
once more.
Wallace felt something bulky in the
pocket of HuIl's trousers, and on in
vestigation found it to be letter from
Fishers wife to the owner Of the trOus-
ers.
Then more scorching was in order,
while the husband sought Hull and sat
isfaction.
He failed to find the man and went
to his wife.
She is a truthful woman, and Fisher
began proceedings for a divorce, which
was granted him to-day.
Mrs. Fisher is IN Atlanta, Ca, and
her husband still has possession Of the
fatal trousers.

Minneapolis, Mimi, November 90
The last hope that remained to Harry
Hayward for his life was wrested from
him when the Supreme Court this
morning handed down a long opinion
affirming the action of the lower court
in denyiue him rev trial
The court is unanimous in its op!n-
ion save in one finding as to the admis-
sibility of Mrs. HaZeltine's evidence, as
to which Chief Justice Start dissents.
The court finds no error in the con-
duct Of the trial and declares that the
trial Judge was justified in excluding
testimony as to the sanity of Adry Hay
ward while on the stand when no fCun-
dation had been laid as to his previous
mental condition. 1t was also proper
TO exclude the evidence as to insanity
i'm the family under the circumstances.
The distinction between insanity as
direct issue and as a collateral one at-
fecting the competency Of a witness is
noted.

decision was announced to him but

ly without hope Gov. ClOugh will fix

CONFUSION
In the Coal Trade Expected to Follow
the Action Of DeArmitt---HaS Set
the Rate at SO Cents.

Pittsburg, November 20.-It is learn
ed from w. P. De Armitt, president of
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
Company, that he has made a contract
with his miners for one year from No
vember 6, whereby he agrees to pay
them 50 cents per ton. This is an in
crease of nine cents per ton for his men
but still falls five cents short Of the
present rate.
At the last conference between oper-
ators and miners it was decided to fix
the rate for the district definitely on
the first Tuesday of December and at
the same meeting a resolution was
passed by which both sides agreed that
whatever rate the New York and Cleve-
land Coal Company adopted in Decem-
ber, it should be the prevailing rate for
the district.
As the miners fully expected that the
rate would be made SO cents or more, it
remains to be seen whether or not the
resolution will be carried out.
The conference between operators
and miners is set for next Tuesday, and
in order to discuss Mr.. De Armitt's
latest move, the miners have called a
convention for that day.
General confusion in the coal district
is expected to follow the conference.

London. November 2O.-The Evening
News publishes a letter from Quetta,

Afghanistan frontier, which states that
the Ameer of Afghanistan is greatly an
noyod at the failure of Nazrullah Khan,
his second son, to arrange for perma-
nent representative in London during
his recent visit to England. In conse-
quence of the rage Of the Ameer Of
Afghanistan, many persons have been
burned alive, a great number Of his sub
jec.s have been imprisoned, while many
others have fed from the country. A
notable who accompanied Prince Naz-
rullah on the occasion OF his visit to
England named Kotwal, is to be tor
ured as soon as he arrives at OaOul. It
is expected that Nazrullah Khan HIM
self will be punished, and that possibly
he will be banished from Afghanistan.

Causes Serious Losses to the Cuban Insur-
gents-How They Were Surprised.
Pittsburg. Pa, November 20-The
Dispatch tomorrow will publish a let
ter from its special Cuban correspond
ent who is on the field near Cumana-
jagua, in which he gives details of
battle at Jutia near CienfuegOs. He
SAYS the insurgents, numbering 450,
well armed, were defeated by $50 Span
.sh soldiers through the negligence of
the insurgent commander, Col. Jose
Gonzales, who failed to mount any guard
for protection Of his camp When the
Spanish forces, who had made a forced
march during the night, surprised the
camp in the early morning by firing
from an adjoining hill, the insurgent
officers and men incontinently fed, save
only fOrty-twO infantrymen, whom Cap
tain Juan Jose CampillO hastily organ
lied, and who kept the Spaniards in
check for an hour, thus saving the dis
organized retreat of the rest Of Their
force from being turned into a slaughter.
The retreat of the infantry was later
made in good order.
Only 250 Of the $50 insurgents had
come into camp by the next day, but
it is not believed they were killed, as
most of the fighting was between the
fOrJy-twO insurgents and Spaniards,
both sides well covered.
The Cuban forces here swear ven
geance upon Col Gonzales, and he will
probably be shot.
