The IurKS w III soon bOnDaTd DSlbOull. Horrible Stories Being Told. Constantinople, Dec. 21.-The porte has informed all of the foreign diplomats at the Turkish capitol that the Armenians' who are in possession of Zeitoun, having shown themselves to be obstinate re- garding their surrender, the lombard ment of Zeitoun will be begun at once. correspondent writing from Marash ex- presses the opinion, however, that tne
 immediate capture of Zeitoun by the Turkish forces is not possible, and that the Armenians will be able to hold the place throughout the winter. 70
 The correspondent also says there was tremendous panic in Adana on the 1th instant. similar to that which recently occurred in Constantinople. During the panic all of the shops were closed.
 telegram received in Constantinople from Tarsus on December IS, says many families have fled from there to Merslna, where the United States warship Marble head is lying.
 A letter from Vostagat, Asia Minor, dated December 10, says that place IS surrounded by Kurds, and the houses or the inhabitants have been barricaded. IL is reported that thirty Armenians nave been massacred there.
 communication received at the Iurk- ish foreign office says that the Armenlans who are holding Zeitoun have pillaged and 1OOUeQ QOZenS or IluSSuiLlei Nhio6 cS near Zeitoun, and have killed 266 Mussul- men, including sixteen women. The for eign office is also issuing other stories of similar character.
 It is stated that these statements are intended to prepare the public for the annihilation of the Armenians, who are in possession of Zeitoun.
 An American, who was for long time a resident of Constantinople, writes from Harpoot that the furniture and other property stolen from the American mis- sionaries at that place are in the houses of the highest government officials there. He also says that it is regular practice of the nabobs of the Turkish villages to keep a herd of Armenian women at tached to their domestic establishments and when Moslem travellers or soldiers come assign a woman to each guest for the night as a part of their duty in the matter of hospitality.
 The Turks admit that the Armenians in the district of Civas are clothed only with a potato sack each, and that many of them have died from starvation The sultan Is reported to have said that he will feed these unfortunates if they will become Mohammedans.

Euplish Press Opinions.

London. Dec. 21-The Westminster Gazette says that President Cleveland S second special message to the congress of the United States greatly improves the tion. "The presidents enemies" the Gazette says, though stalwart for the applica ton of the Monroe doctrine, will not scruple to attack his policy. We hope that our government will seize the occa- sion to make it clear that we do not in tend to challenge the Monroe doctrine or to raise that issue"
 The Pail Mall Gazette says:- Even if Venezuelan were 10000 times right 1t would be impossible for Great Britain to recognize her rights or even to make the slightest concession to her until President Cleveland withdraws from his menacing attitude The sole service which his mes sage has done to the Monroe doctrine is to call forth chorus of disavowal and ridicule from the whole of Europe"
 The Globe says: "The financial kings of the old world are firmly resolved that such A horror as war between England and the United States shall not occur, and they will not hesitate to employ any means to prevent 1t. Our great banks are insisting upon the immediate repay ment of advances made to American houses at the same time intimating that they will suspend financial action so long as the menace of an American commits sion to locate the boundary of British Guiana hangs in the air.
 The head of the banking house of All bert Seligman x Co.,, of No. 9 Drapers Gardens says: Business relations be- tween the United States and Great Britain are virtually broken off. The people are anxious, though scarcely any of the prominent firms entertain an idea that war is likely to occur. The financial situation now depends entirely upon the political atmosphere. No financial meas ures would be effective until a political settlement is reached President Cleve- lands financial plans might then be in- troduced with effect. An amendment of the currency would satisfy the demand of Europe, though this would be only a partial remedy, but it would be very effective if the consequences would be an appreciation of the price of grain and cotton, and the balance of trade were turned in favor of the United States"
 It is given out that Lord Salisbury caused the publication of the Venezuelan correspondence between the foreign off ces and the department of state in Washington on Tuesday only upon learn ing that the same would be published in America on that day.

Associated Press Special Wire.
BUFFALO,. May 21.-The peace con-
vention of the Elks ended with today s
session. and after an excursion tc Niagara
Falls tomorrow the delegates will leave
Buffalo. The expectation that the two
warning factions would be brought to-
gether by the conference here has, in
measure. been fulfilled. One result of the
peace convention has been to strengthen
the jamestown faction and correspond
ingly weaken the other, as nearly all the
Atlantic City lodges represented in the
conference have joined hands with the
jamestown faction. With this as
nucleus, the larger body hopes gradually
to gather in maj ority of these opposing
lodges. The number of the Atlantic
City lodges which were joined with the
jamestown lodges is reckoned at about
thirty.
The Joining OF forces was accompli shed
and ratified by the manner of electing
officers. The jamestown grand lodge
elected officers, whose names were sub
mitted by the peace conference. These
officers were then officially and formally
endorsed by the conference. All this was
not, however. accomplished without op-
position. Chairman Jewell offered as
minority report that the conference recon-
mend the subordinate lodges to acknowl-
which IN ct at Atlantic City in June. 1894.
This provoked a hot debate, but the
minority report was defeated, only four
voting in favor of it. The conference
then adjourned and the grand lodge
assembled to elect the officers.

AN ATTORNEYS FORGERIES
LAWYER BisCaiIuz Succeeds in Getting
Again in the Tolls
Alleged to Come From Judge
Van Dyke

Martin V. Bicailuz, the attorney who
was saved from disgrace and a probable
trip to the penitentiary several months
ago because some of his friends in the le-
gal fraternity swore that he was insane
and had enough influence to get him COM
mitted to Highlands, is again in trouble.
He is charged with forgery, and it is very
likely that more complaints against him
will follow.
Biscailuz, when he returned from the
insane asylum. had no money, and his
practice, which at one time included
some very valua BILE estates, had gone to
the dogs. His clients had principally
been Frenchmen and Basques who
looked upon him with great distrust be-
cadse of his questionable former trans
actions. He had obtained from many
people money on worthless checks and
Others that were alleged to be forgeries.
Being without legitimate business he cast
around for a way in which to raise money
in fraudulent manner, and having de-
vsed plan, Immediately began to work
it.
This plan consisted in going to parties
whom he knew to have cases in court and
to pres ent to them alleged orders from
the Judge for small sums. which were paid
without question. The transaction for
which he was yesterday arrested will ex-
plain his modus operandi. He went to
Paul Saubion, the French bu tcher of
Commercial street, with paper which
read as follows:
In the matter, of the estate OF N. U. Tel.
lier, deceased.
1t appearing to the satisfaction of this

appearing from said affidavit of M. V.

are true. and that said Mrs. N. G. Teller
is departing out of said state of Califor-
MIA with the intention to defraud her said
creditors, Paul Saubion and }. X. kenne
dy in the above matter;
Now, therefore, it is hereby ordered, ad-
judged and decreed the said Mrs. N. q:

she is hereby refrained, restrained and
enioined from III any manner transfer
ring, incumbeIing or disposing any of
the property declared to be owned by her
by this court.
1t is further ordered that the claimants
herein pay to this court the sum of $780, go
in addition to the costs heretofore paid.
and that an order of arrest be issued upon
affidavit and proper showing, should Mrs.
N. Q. .Goytino attempt to leave the state
of California.
Done in open court this 29th day of
April, 1895. WALTER VAN DYKE.
Saubion d. Kennedy had already paid
Biscailuz some $s5 on other alleged orders
from the superior court. and they became
very suspicious at this last document.
They instituted inquiries before paying
the $50. 90 and found out that this paper
as well as the others were forgeries.
Biscailuz was taken before Justice
Young yesterday afternoon, charged with
forgery and held for examination under
$500 bail,
