A CRISIS HOURLY EXPECTED.

LONDON, ENG, Sept. 18.-The Con-
stantinople correspondent of the Standard
telegraphs that the situation there does
not give any evidence of improvement.
He says: 1--WE are on the verge of 2
crisis. The opinion is that unless British
feet appears shortly in the Bosphorus
either Turkey will totter to her ruin, fall
ing into the hands of the Gar, or Rus
sian feet will take advantage of some
special outrage and of the apathy Of the
powers to occupy the Bosphorus, and
from that vantage ground, which we
ought to be now holding, dictate terms to
Europe. All the British residents are
astonished because feet does not come.
Mass-meetings to express the indigna-
ton felt against the Sultan were held to-
night in Birmingham and other cities in
England. Resolutions were adopted which
in general terms called upon the Govern
ment to take immediate and active steps
to end the reign of terror in Turkey.
In Bristol and elsewhere amendments
to the resolutions were offered urging
Great Britain to act forcibly alone if nee
essary, but these amendments were de-
feated.
The Daily Mail will publish a dispatch
tomorrow from Vienna saying that seven
men have been killed during the last few
days while attempting to reach the Sui
tan's apartments with the object of assass-
mating him.
ROME, ITALY, Sept. 10. The semi
official newspaper, Italia, asserts that
communications, which have passed be-
tween the powers upon the situation in
Turkey, show that the relations are
strained to point of rupture.
ATHENS, GREECE Sept. ia dis
patch from Constantinople says that a
number of theological students and mem
bers of the Young Turkey party had a
desperate fight in Galata on Wednesday.
Fifteen of the combatants we're killed.
The dispatch adds that many of the
archives of the British Embassy have
been placed On the British ships in the
! Bosphorus.

HARRISON WILL SPEAK.
Republicans to Be aided by the Eloquent
Er-President.

Ec-President.
CAICAGO, liz, Sept. 18.-Beniamin
Harrison will make some campaign
speeches in October, and the fears of the
Republican National Executive Commit
teemen at Chicago headquarters were set
at rest to-day by the welcome intelligence.
It came this afternoon in the form of a
personal letter from the ex-President in
the Adirondacks to Committeeman Dur
bin of Indiana. Mr.. Durbin would only
say the letter contained promise to make
some speeches. The dates and places will
be fixed after Mr.. Harrison has communi-
Gated with Mr.. Durbin, and the Indiana
committee will be ignored in the matter.
One OF the speeches will be in Indianapolis.
Mr.. Harrison will go to New York in q
day or SO to remain week or ten days,
and the speaking engagements will be
made as soon as the ex-President returns
home.
Committeeman Cyrus Leland returned
from Kansas. Mr.. Leland said: WATSON
has done lots of good for the Republican
party by coming to Kansas and making
his fiery anti-Sewall speeches. He had
small crowds to begin with, but they
quickly increased, and the result will be
that the 'middi e-of-the-road' Populists in
tend to put up separate Bryan and Wat
son electoral ticket, which will split the
Populist vote for Bryan"

DENVER, CoLo., Sept. 1S.-Tom Wat

Bailey, gubernatorial candidate on the
Populist, silver-tusion ticket. Mr.. Wat
son is in bad voice and almost exhausted
by his work in the East. He spoke but
briefly at Coliseum Hall tonight to a
small audience, owing to heavy rain
storm, and his remarks were confined to a
statement of his personal position in the

certain that the body of a murdered man

Chillicothe. west OF the city seven
miles, noted a man driving along the
road in a road cart. He was driving a
very fair looking bay mare. The man
was well dressed and seemed to be tray
cling. Three or four hours afterward
the horse and cart were found in the
road a mile or SO from where last seen
but there was no man 1t seemed as
if the man got out of the cart leisurely

around the seat rod The articles in
the cart We're in good order and con
sisted of some edible of various kinds

ing of the rig without the man caused
considerable comment and number
of citizens searched the woods for sew

The search made was SO general that
the man could not have got way with
