THE UTAH SITUATION.
Special Correspondence to Denver
News.

Salt Lake, Utah, May 26-Just now
Utah, which, for a full half century,
has attracted the attention of the en-
tire country, either from a commercial,
religious or political standpoint, occu-
pies another of her many unique posi-
tions-this time the interest being
centered in the question Of creating a
state government. AS it is the only
territory engaged in that enterprise
the interest is thereby greatly
heightened.

TO DIVIDE TURKEY
GREAT SCHEME OF THE REVOLT
TIONIsTS IN ARMENIA.
They VIII Soon start a Rebellion.
when European Are En-
pected To Interfere, Give Armaina
Freedom and Divide Turkey.

Copyrighted, 1895, Associated Press.)
London. April 19.-The correspond
ent of the Associated Press, writing
from Armenia under date of March
ID, says:
Il have travelled many hundreds Of
miles i'll Russia and Persia, and have
visited Armenian colonies as far East
as the Caspian sea and as far South
as the City OF Teheran. and have
learned after the most careful inveSti-
CATION and YeritiCatiOn of the facts,
that the Armenian question will Don
reach an acute and painful crisis. In
fact, Armenia is preparing for war.
The revolutionary party has now both
money and guns. For a handful of
unframed Armenians TO deliberately
begin a fight with 100000 regular
troops of the Turkish empire is folly
too colossal for human conception: yet
one must take into account the under
lying motives of the revolutionary
leaders before he passes final judg-
ment. The purpose is not bringing
Turkey to terms in a fair fight but 10
settle the quarrel by the interven-
ton Of the European powers, Before
the revolution is three months old the
powers, it is believed. will be com
PEELED to take a hand in the conflict,
for the cruelty, atTocity, the outrage,
the bloOd-lust and butchery Of the
struggle will be so unthinkahly hOrri-
BILE THAT Christian humanity will in
tcrfere. Then Armenia. it is hoped,
may get her freedom and the Turk
iSh empire may be torn limb from
limb and thrown piccemcal to its eX-
pectant neighbOrS. Thus there is a
possibility that Palestine. the birth
place of Christianity, may at last
come into the possession Of a Chris.
tian nation.
For the most part the revolutionary
leaders are Of the younger and more
progressive generation of ArmcnianS,
who argue hat it is no worse that a
few thousand ArmenianS should be
killed at once than that they should
be killed separately during a period
Of a few months or years.

DURANT Is GUILTY.
So Declares the Jury at
San Francisco.

San Francisco, April 21.-The coro-
ner's jury has returned a verdict de
claring Durant guilty of the murder Of
Minnie Williams.
When Durant was shown the YER
dict after his return to the city pris-
on his face flushed for the first time
since the first terrible crime for which
he is accused was discovered.
Miss Gertrude Taber, a step-sister
of Elmer Wolff. the young man whose
name has been frequently mentioned
in the case. has come forward and
identified the PocketbOOk which vas
found on the Sandstone road by IA
clam digger, and which contained
some papers. among which was Il
business card of DR.. Nogel On the
back of which was written the name
of Miss Williams.
Miss Tabor says that she missed the
pocketbOok some time ago while out
riding. and %eXplainSt the presence of
the card by saying that Miss Williams
visited her some weeks ago and wrote
her address on one of DR.. EOgefs
cards.
Elmer VOLTS testimony at the in
quest was slightly mixed. and some of
Durant's friends thought he knew
more Of the crime than he wished TO
tell, and pointed TO the finding of the
pocketbOOk to s~ubstantiate their claim.
1t is a peculiar c~Oincident that the
pOcketbOOk should have been lost by
one so closely related TO Wolff and
found at this critical time.
Mrs. Durant, mother of the accused,
says she has evidence for the defense
which will go TO upset the bearing OF
the statement of Witness Hill, who
testified before the ~corOner's jury that
he had seen a couple answering the
description of Durant and the dead
girl standing near the church about
$50 on the night of the murder. and
who afterward entered the church
yard. Mrs. Durant says that a young
couple had come to her and stated
that they entered the church yard
about the time Hill claims to have
seen a couple pass into the front gate,
To-day the police received informa
ton from a laundry that a pair of
bloody rousers had been left for
cleaning. The police say that the
trousers are too big for Durant, but
that they will trace the clue to find
the owner.

The Mother of the Late Irish Leader
Found Unconscious.

BOrdertown, y. j., April 21.-Mrs.
Della +. Parnell. mother of the late
Charles Stewart Parnell. who lives at
IronSides, overlooking the Delaware
river. near here, was found bleeding
and uncOssciOus on the road near her
home. Because of her advanced age
her condition Is regarded as critical.
Her handbag was found alongside the
railroad track nea by. with her peck
etbook missing and papers scattered
in all directions. This circumstance
lends an active probability to the
theory that she was brutally assaulted
and robbed. Mrs. Parnell later re-
gained consciousness. but was unable
to throw any light on the affair.

SHY ON THE DUTY,
AN ALLEGED
TRATED BY IMPORTERS.
A New York House Is Said to Have
Defrnuded the Government OF 500
u by IA system OF differentiation
of Goods.

New York, April 21.-The disclosure
Of Il great case of under-valuation at
the custom house has caused the col
'ector of the port. James q. kilbreth.
much annoyance. The amount of I'M
liberalization is said to be 100000.
The matter briefly stated is that o. l..
Syphcr. the importer Of antique fur
n~itureS. has been importing goods at
n greatly under-valued rate. The
matter was brought to the notice of
the customs authorities through a dis
charged employee of the firm, L.. II.
Todd. a few years ago he was head
salesman Of the firm known as o. l..
Sypher X Co. He said he had worked
for the firm for fifteen years. Dur
ing that time they had been importing
antique furniture. old silver and
tapestries. The firm, he declared,
were continually importing loving
cups. trays, in fact, all kinds Of silver
as old silver, and paying the duty on
old silver. which is Is Cd an ounce.
These goods have been passed in
| through the second division. One year
! ago II. w. Hart, nov in charge of the
second division, vice Cyrus A. Stev-
| ems, appeared and stated that in the
| llNolttS VI SypHti " w.. IN Soo'S
were worth ten times more h the
valuation.
The case has been under lnvestlga-
ton by Special Deputy Dudley Phelps.
who said: "Three years ago when
Sypher & Co. suspended, special
agents suspected that they had been
engaged in illegal practices. but they
carried away and SeCreted all dOcu-
mcnts in n cellar in Mount Vernon.
The customs authorities investigated
the matter. but it was never com
| pleted, and the officials Were very
much annoyed"
Col. Phelps thinks efforts have been
made to stop the investigation. The
official upon whom opprobrium is cast
is said to be Eugene Honeywell. He
is said to have been in collision with
the firm. He has been in the depart
ment for fifteen years.
while the charges are serious"
said Col. Phelps, 'and are under in
~vestigation, the collector is inclined
to think that charges against Honey
well will prove to be nothing more
than negligence"
Sypher was to have sailed for Eu-
rope tomorrow, but Col. Phelps is au-
thOrity for the statement that he will
not depart.
