CRISIS is GRAVE.
Powers VIII Back Up Their De-
mands BY II Stronger Note.

London, June 5.--There was much ex-
element in London yesterday, about the
foreign office, upon the receipt of dis
patches from Constantinople announcing
that the Turkish government had re-
fused to agree to reforms in Armenia
which were delivered by the representa-
uvcs of Great Britain, France and Russia.
All the foreign office officials. including
the secretary of state for foreign affairs,
the Earl of imberly, were at their posts
last night and have assembled again al
the foreign office today. There is a strong
belief in well informed circles here that
the reply of the porte was purposely
drafted in unfavorabie terms in order
TO gain time. The sultan is invisible dur
ing the salram, one of two great Ma
hometan festivals of the year, which is
now being observed. Consequently the
powers, it is asserted here, will now adj
dress a stronger note to the porte and
In addition will back this up by naval
demonstration. The crisis in the east is
already regarded on all sides as being
grave, and this feeling is intensified by
the news from Constantinople today, tell
ing of the panic at Jeddah, the threaten
ed attack of the Berdouins aid the flight
OF Europeans who are seeking safety on
board the vessels in the harbor. 1t is
freely predicted here that an outbreak is
inevitable. There is no question of the
powers abating their demands in any
form, although there is a growing belief
that Russia is hacking Turkey in the
demanded by the powers for Armenia
The full text of the demands of the
powers will be published here today. 1t
makes over 1000 words and the main
points of it have already been cabled.
The note of the powers III this connec-
ton make twelve distinct suggestions or
demands in regard 10 Armenian reforms
as follows:
First-The eventual reduction of the
number of vilayets.
second-Guarantee for the selection of
wallis or governors.
Third-Amnesty for Armenian political
prisoners
Fourth-Return of Armenian exiles to
their homes.
Fifth-Final settlement for common law
crimes.
Slxth-The inspection of prisoners.
Seventh-The appointment of a. high
to supervise The reforms.
Eighth-The creation of a permanent
committee on control at Constantinople
Ninth-Indemnity to the Sassoun and
other victims of the recent massacres
Tenth-Regulation of religious CONVEX
sions.
Eleventh. Maintenance of the Armenian
rights and privileges.
Twelfth-Position of the Armenians in
other vilayets of ASiatic Turkey to be |
on the same basis.

San Francisco, June 5.-The Evening
Post states that the entire detective
force of this city is convinced that ex-
Senator Buch struck the blows which
killed Miss Nellie Harrington in her
fiat last Saturday. Buck died yester
day from the effects of injuries sus-
tanned by being thrown from a cart
while being driven by a policeman to
the Office of the chief of police. The
local chief of detectives said this
morning:
4 don't want to talk about this
men'" because l hate to hghtsaead
The conclusions of the police are
said TO be based on the contents of ia
private letters found in Miss Harring-
TONS room, which are said to indicate
between the murdered woman and
Buck even greater intimacy than ap-
peared on the surface
On the back of Bucks photograph
Miss, Harrington had left written
request that it be destroyed at her
death
The alibi of Buck, as stated by his
family, is not borne out by police m
VestigatiOn. Detectives state that an
stead of remaining in his Oakland
residence from the time of the arrival
OF the Marysville train at 1880 until
1:3O, as stated by his son, Senator
Buck actually left home q few minutes
after noon.
An Oakland resident named Cham.
berlaln came across the ferry with
Buck, and Chamberlain bookkeeper
states thats his employer arrived at
his office before 1 o'clock This the
police say would give Buck time 10
proceed to the Ellis street residence Of
Miss Harrington, commit the crime
and get away before the hour the
alarm of fire was rung in from the
nat. In trying to fasten the crime on
Buck, the detectives are building up
cumulative evidence They say this
dead senator's actions after trsN
tragedy were suspicious When he re-
turned TO Oakland on the ferry many
of his acquaintance discussed the
murder, but Buck kept silent, and al
though he had the afternoon papers
with accounts of the crime, he said
nothing to his family of the murder,
although all the members knew Miss
Harrington well. 1t has been proved
that Buck was in the habit of making
midday calls on Miss Harrington, and
the murderer must have been on inti>
mate terms to secure admission to her
room and to make his exit unnoticed
Bucks remarks to the policeman who
went to his house on Saturday We're:
ST know what the police WantEASle for"
is also considered by the detee fks to
corroborate their theory. TtEtF most
unfortunate feature of the police
theory is that the accused IS dead, and
no testimony can be offered in reply
to police suspicious.

New York, June 5.-A. H. Hummel,

SALT LAKE IS THE PLACE.

The statement that the headquar-
ters of the receiver appointed for the
Oregon Short line and its connections
would be at Portland, Oregon, created
quite commotion in this city, and
inquiries were at once set on foot to
find out how much foundation there
was for the assertion. 1t turns out to
be only a very foolish surmise.
There is no good reason that can be
advanced why such an outside and re-
mote spot should be chosen for the
place. And If the rumos did not ORR
ginate in this city for Some Interior
purpose, it must have arisen in Port
land on the principle that ''the wish
is father to the thought
We learn that Salt Lake City is
looked upon as the most natural and
eligible spot for the headquarters of
the receiver. particularly if he should
receive the appointment here, as he
has received it elsewhere, as receiver of
the connection of the Short Line as
well as of that road itself.
This is a question for the court to
decide and is expected to come up be-
fore Chief Justice Merritt on Thurs
day. There are separate interests re-
latng to all the Zines which connect
with the Oregon Short Line in this
inter-mountain region. They all de-
serve recognition. The bondholders
and shareholders in each of them have
their ideas as to what they would pre-
fer. The Union Pacific company, too,
has its broad axe to grind, and alto
gether 1t is a very important ques-
ton which the Chief Justice has to
decide. It would be improper per-
haps. for The Herald to make any sug-
gestion in reference to the receiver
ship. But we are not among those
who think a separate receivership and
management of the Oregon Short Line
and its connections in the mountains
will be Instantaneous in any way
to Utah. On the contrary, we believe
it will be found a great benefit to
trade. Salt Lake will we feel assured,
secure better rates than have pre-
vailed for traffic heretofore, and
the result will be to the advantage of
our business firms and consequently
to the general public.
That a reform in this particular is
necessary to our business prosperity
we need not now repeat. We have
published the complaints of our COM
mercial houses and showed the discrim-
ination that has been exhibited to us
in comparison with other cities. We
look for important changes profitable
to Utah when the receiyership ques-

THE SALT LAKE HERALD. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 5, 1895.

ton is fully settled and the head
quarters are established.
At any rate the Portland rumor may
be set down as canard. Salt Lake
stands the first chance for the head
quarters of the receiver who has been
appointed, and should there be any
other for the local interests that CEN
tire here, Salt Lake would also natur-
ally be the spot where their manage
ment would be located.
So far as Mr.. Egan is concerned, we
believe that the appointment which
has been made will be found highly
satisfactory to all who are interested
in the welfare of the Oregon Short
Line and its connections He has an
excellent reputation as a railroad man
of great experience, in whom conf
denee is reposed for his fidelity, judg-
ment and energetic devotion to pub
lie interests. Salt Lake will be pleased
to number him among her permanent
residents if he shall decide to make
his abode among her people. There is
no better residence city TO be found
in all the states and territories of the
great west, and this is the logical and
natural headquarters for the new sys-
tenn which this separate receivershfp
has brought into active being.
