DEFIES THE POWERS.
Sultan's Decoration Of Certain Of
ficers is a Snub to Great
Britain.

Constantinople, Nov. 9.-The official
Gazette announces that Bahri Pasha,
who was dismissed from his official posi-
ton in pursuance to the representations
of the British ambassador. Sir Phillip
Currie, owing to his ill-trea tment of Ar
menians, has been decorated with the
grand Gordon of the Osmanieh order "as
Il reward for his good services"
This step upon the part of the Sultan
is considered most significant. 1t is not
only an open and distinct mark of APP
prevail of the Entertainment of Armenians
but it is a deliberate snub to Great Brit
ain, particularly as in addition to the
decoration bestowed upon Bahri Pasha,
tie official Gazette publishes q long list
of the names of Turkish officials in Ar
menia who have been decorated by the
Sultan for their good services In fact
it almost seems as if the Sultan is openly
defying the powers.
1t is understood that the vail of
Aleppo, who is to be succeeded by the
ex-grand vizier, Kiamil Pasha, was dis
missed in consequence of the representa-
tons of the United States minister to
Turkey, Alexander w. Terrell, because
the vail refused to permit the United
States consular agent at Aleppo to visit
a naturalized American citizen, Guend-
jam. of Armenian origin, who had been
imprisoned for life. MI Terrell obtained
permission from two grand viziers for
the consular agent to visit Guendjiam,
but the vail persisted in his refusal to
permit the prisoner to be seen. The
eventual result was that Mr.. Terrell
made the strongest representations to the
Porte.
Guendjiam is now on his way to Con-
stantinople to be tried before Mr.. Ter
rell.
Eleven Kurds charged with the muir
der of Frank G. LEM of Pittsburg,
Pa, who started to ride around the
world on a bicycle and disappeared in
Armenia, have been arrested and taken
to Erzeroum in order to be tried there
in the presence of the British consul
in the absence of an American consul.
their arrest being to !, certain degree
due to the search which William A.
Sachtelben, who represented a New
York publication, made for the missing
rider.
Over 100 Armenians were arrested
yesterday at STEAMBOAT and all the in
quiries made as to the cause of their inn
prisonment have not received satisfac-
tory answer.

TlCERIS LONESOME.
Republican Gains in the State Onse'
Gotham's ReVerses.

Hennblican Gains in the State Offset
Gotham's Reverses.
New York, Nov. 7.-Tammany's VIC
tory in this city seems rather lonesome
phenomenon in the face OF the returns
from the rest of the state. AS more
comnlete returns are received the more
overwhelming the Republican victory
grows. The latest figures indicate that
the Republican plurality for secretaa n OF
state in round numbers will be $4,000.
Both branches of the Legislature VIII
be Republican by a majority of 2 to l:
The latest figures show that the next
state Senate will likely be made up OF
thirty-tiye Republicans. fourteen Demo-
Gratis and one Independent. In spite OF
the fact that Tammany got the bulk OF
the assemblymen i'll this city, the Repup-
lean gains in the state will apparently
give the Assembly 1O2 Republicans and
forty eight Democrats. These hgures
give the Republicans majority OF ~
on joint ballot.
As result of the elections the Repub-
leans claim New York in the next pres
idential fight, and Gov. Morton's chances
are supposedly brighter than ever before.
Senator Hill is still safe for another
year. for there is no election for United
States senator till 1897 The. present
state Senate, however, serves 1or tnfee
years, and it's members will have mana
in the choice of two United States sem
atOfS. Inc only nope 1OI tAC A0ShIoN
racy in this regard is in oyerturnlng
the present Republican majority in the
Assembly at the next election. Ihat
chance, they hope, may yet enable them
to name Senator Hills successor.
Rev. DR.. Parkhurst has given some
hours of thought to the election in an en-
deavor to find a good reason for lam
many's victory and the defeat of the
fusion ticket. He found three causes.
OF one of these he was willing to speak,
but on the others he would not dwell,
nor would he even give an intimatlon
of what they were. The one referred
to was the intrusion of the excise ques-
ton. He thinks that in time the people
will recover their senses on this great
problem.
Excepting in a few counties where
scattered districts are reported, but In
each of which close estimate is made, the
emi-official returns of this state on the
head of the ticket show: King Dem.l,
sol $50; Palmer Rep.), 593, 146; Pal
mer's plurality, 91,7S7.
Brooklyn Democrats Give Up.
Brooklyn, n. Y, Nov. THE Demo
cratic campaign committee Of Brooklyn
today admitted the defeat of their local
ticket and will take no steps leading to
a recount of the ballots. Whatever Mr..
Circuit, the regular Democratic nominee
for mayor. or any of the other candidates
may do in this direction. will be done
by them individually and not with sane
ton of the committee.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. S.-The walls adj
joining the wrecked portion of the Jour-

pose OF lighting duel with NJ. /,

a volcanic eruption has taken place on
Balchewanna island, sixty miles west of

st. Johns n. F., June 29.-Sir Graham
Bower, imperial secretary to the high

pected here in August. There is a crisis
in the Whiteway party. Members of the
assembly refuse to consent to any reduc-
ton in their session of pay and perqui-
sites. The government threatens to re-
sign. Influential supporters of the party
are bringing pressure to bear upon the
leaders of the revolt to induce them to
accept the decision of the chief of the
government The defeat of the govern
ment few days ago is admitted to be
due to dissatisfaction among the party.
One Whitewayite member last night pro-
phecied before a full house in the course
of a speech that the retrenchment meas
ure would prove the deathknell of the
Whiteway party in the constituencies.

PEIXOTO DEAD.
Ex-President of the Republic of the
United States of Brazil Passes
Away.

Rio Janeiro, June 29.-Ex-President
Peixoto is dead
Marshal Floriano Peixoto, ex-presi-
dent of the republic of the United
States of Brazil, was the son Of Lieu
tenant Colonel Hanoel Vierra de Ara
ujo. Peixoto. He was born April 80,
1880, in the state of Alagoas.
Ex-President Peixoto was chi ely dis
tinguished for the Suppression Of the
revolution which broke out in BAIL
in the summer of 1899. Upon the re-
turn OF Admiral de Mello, and Admiral
de Cana from the naval review at
New York in 1898, the naval forces
broke away from the rule of PeiXOto
and indirectly united with the insur-
gents in the province of Rio Grdnde do
Sui succeeded in organizing a repel-
lion formidable in it's aspects.
After number Of sharp contests N
the harbor of Rio de Janeiro, Presi-
dent PeiXoto and his associates in
office and in the army practically sue
ceeded in stamping ou- the revolt,
though desultory fighting has been
kept up on both sides ever since.
The revOlutioniStS appear to have
been nearly suppressed by the defeat
and the resultant suicide of da Cana
only five days ago.
EX-PreSldent PeiXOtO was succeeded
in office by Senior Prudent de Moraes,
of San Paoto. 1t is worthy of note
that Moraes was the first president
ever selected in Brazil through the
means of a popular election. When
Emperor Dom Pedro left the throne
in November, 1889, and a republic was
proclaimed, Da Fonseca was chosen
chief of the provisional government.
He held this post until February, 1891.
He was elected as the republics first
constitutional president by the cham
Der of deputies. In the following No
vember he dissolved congress and pro-
claimed martial law. This resulted
in considerable dissatisfaction and Da
Fonseca resigned as dictator, to be
succeeded by PeiXoto, who had been
vice-president. So we'll was he liked
by the congress that in July, 1892 his
term of Office was extended and adj
ditional powers were conferred on
him. Since the election of President
Moraes, i'll health has prevented eX-
President Peixoto, who declined a re-
nomination, from taking an active
part in political and military affairs.
1t was recently announced that he
would he a candidate for the position
of senator from his native state an
he would carry on an active consti-
tutional campaign against the admin
istration of President Moraes.

MACEO'S CAPTURE.
1T IS REGARDED AS AN IMPORT
ANT DEVELOPMENT.
the Negroes, and Man of Much
Ability.

Washington, June 29.-Minister De-
puy de LONE, of Spain, has not re-
ceived official information of Maceo's
capture. If confirmed, the minister re-
CARDS the capture as the most impor-
tant development, as Maceo is a mu-
lato, who has been at the head of the
negroes, and his apprehension, it is
believed, will put down the uprising of
the blacks. Maceo started his expedi-
ton from Costa Rica last spring, and
has led a large force of negroes, who
have been operating of late around
Santiago de Cuba. He is a man of
much ability, and was in charge of
the government tobacco plantations in
Costa Rica. The latter country took
occasion, when Maceo started on his
expedition, to assure Spain that he had
no government support. Next to Co.
mez and Marti he had been the most
conspicuous figure in the rebellion.
