Constantinople, Aug. 26.-At 1:3O o'clock
this afternoon q score of men armed with
revolvers and bombs invaded the Ottoman
bank killing a number of gendarmes on
guard. Closing the doors of Ottoman bank
to prevent the advance Of mob. the EN-.
ployes Of the bank fed TO the quarters in
the bank building occupied by the tobacco
syndicate, which has control Of the collec-
ton of taxes on tobacco throughout the
Turkish empire. The invaders mounted the
roof of the building and from the windows
fired at the police In the street below. The
police returned the fire In a vigorous fash
ion and several were killed and wounded.
The riot became general. shops were
wrecked and bazaars invaded and the Wild
est excitment prevailed throughout certain
quarters Of Constantinople. At 5 o'clock
the bank was reported still in the hands or
invaders. A later report says that there Is
no doubt but what the movement Is revo-
lutionary in plan and scope, and that 1t had
Its origin at the secret meetings or the
Hintchikast Armenians. About forty or the
rioters were still in possession or ottoman
bank at a late hour this evening, despite all
efforts Of the government forces to remove
them from the building. Advices from the
disorderly sections of the city late tonight
were to the effect that the riots still con-
tiuue and that the mobs are constantly In
c~reasing in the galata quarter. A bomb
exploded in Constantinople near the Galata-
sera guard house. Many soldiers were killed
and wounded.

Boston, Aug. 26.-The United States
cruiser Brooklyn was given a pre-

over the official course between Cape
Ann and Cape Porpoise to-day. The
average speed for the round trip Of
So knots was 2O.97 knots an hour, a
very satisfactory performance, all
things concerned. The contract calls
for IA speed of 20 knots an hour in a
run of four consecutive hours. For
each quarter-knot above this speed q

Reciprocity.

Another declaration Of the Republican
platform that has my most cordial support
is that which favors reciprocity. The splen-

that were made under authority of the
tariff law of 1890 are striking and suggest
i've. The brief period they were In force,
In most cases only three years, was not

Ii VIII Maintain Law and Il

We avoid no issues. We meet the sudden,
dangerous and revolutionary assault upon
law and order, and upon those 10 whom Is
confided by the constitution and laws the
authority to uphold and maintain them,
which our opponents have made, with the
same courage that we have faced every
emergency since our organization as Il party
more than forty years ago. Government
by law must first be assured; everything
else can wait. Til spirit of lawlessness
pust be eXtingulshed by the fires of an
unselish anu lofty patriotism. Every at
tack upon the public faith and every sug-
gestion of the Reputation of debts, public
or private, must be rebuked by all men who
believe that honesty is the best policy, or
who love their country and would preserve
unsullied its national honor.
sectionalism Almost Obliterated.
The country is TO be congratulated upon
the almost total obliteration Of the section
al lines, which for many years marked the
division of the United States into slave and
free territory, and finally threatened Its
partition into two separate governments
by the dread ordeal of civil war. The era
of cancellation so long and earnestly de-
sired by Gen. Grant and many other great
leaders, North and South, has happily come,
and the feeling of distrust and hostility be-
tween the sections Is everywhere vanishing.

they are rather expensive, and hope

BILLY fell to studying over these things
and by and by he took up his crutchcs and
went into lis .workrOOm TO see what lie
could find there TO help him out.
Almost instantly his eyes fcll on an old
fashioned piano stool with screw top
to lower, or raise it, at pleasure.
Coed" said Billy. You are Just the
ticket for the dish washing and things of
that sort. and now for thc gloves
In the corner he came across a lightweight
gosSamcr cloak that his mother had dis
carded. ami out OF which he had intended
to fashion rubber bath blanket. as he was
greatly given to spiashing.
You re all right, too he remarked in a
tone of great satisfaction, as he fishcd out
this garment.
Then he went upstairs TO draw his mothers
hand. lie fond her resting. so he brought
his drawing block over to her cnair. and
had her place her hand on il, and then he
drew the outline.
Billy often did this. II amused him 10
draw his mothers slender hand and his
own chubby one below it. and write be-
Meath them, Billy's mothers hand and
Mothers BiIiy's paw
This outline Billy took downstairs and
traced 1t with white crayon four times
on the goSSIuncr. with a liberal allowance
for seams. then he cat the parts out.
Billy's accomplishments stopped short of
sewing. and he was looking at the parts
wishing he could que or nail them together
when Sam came i'll.
"Oh. hulio, sam" cried Billy, 'Tn give
you that monkey-wrench you wanted, if
you'll get your big sister TO stitch these
things together on the machine"
.All right said Sam; 'rll try it. What
are they. anyway
Something for mother" said Billy. Its
going to help do the work. SO Sam went
off, looking at the parts with much curiosity.
When the dinner dishes were ready TO be
washed. Sam had, at Bily's request, placed
the stool. screwed up 10 its full height, in
front of the kitchen sink, and beside the
pans OF hot water lay the gossarner gloves.
"Oh. Billy" said his mother, as she sat
down on the stool and put on her gloves.
