1t is being whispered among Tories
that Salisbury, whose case seems so
naked to attack in this whole Armenian
business, had something up his sleeve,
which will show England really strong
where to outward view it seems weak
est; but 1 hear this is rather in the
spirit of whistling past a graveyard.
There can be no doubt, however that
the Turkish question and various con-
tinental problems entered with it look
much more in the Parliamentary mind
than all the phases Of domestic politics
combined. Sections selection to sue
ceed Justin Mccarthy has been a fore
gone conclusion all the week. Up to the
last advices he was pretending not to
want it, but that is only pretty Fanny's
way. In reality his was the most utter
egotism in the whole vain boiling, and
he has been thrust into the post by
Healy merely to keep Dillon out. 1t is
not risking much to predict that his
reign will be both a brief and stormE-
one. ~
The French Government is hurry1r
forward plans for representation at
Cars coronation at Moscow in Me- ;,
which viii eclipse anything on record in
such matters. It happens that the
present French ambassador in Russia
is by seniority of service the dean of
the diplomatic corps at st. Petersburg,
so he is to enjoy the right of receiving
the young Car and Czarina in the
name of his colleagues when they enter
Moscow. He will do this on a scale of
extraordinary magnificence, two of the
largest noblemen's palaces in Moscow,
rented for the occasion, being all re-
fitted in the costliest manner from
France.
This wild ostentation may not i'm
probably prove in the nature of a fun
eral demonstration over the corpse of
the Franco-Russian entente Many
signs point to the conclusion that the
Russians are already tired of the thing.
Fewer of their Princes and millionaires
are spending their winter in France
than for years before and France is
hardly mentioned nowadays in the
Russian papers.
Meanwhile Verestschagin's new col
lection of paintings, recently moved
from Moscow to St Petersburg, is at
tracing exceptional attention at the
latter Capital Their principal feature
is dozen huge canvases devoted to the
Napoleonic invasion and retreat of
lS12-13, and they lay almost malicious
stress on the French brutality to the
Russian peasants and prisoners, the
French cowardice when braveIy op-
posed, and above all the French sacri-
lege in desecrating the Russian
churches and shrines.
When it is remembered that the Rus
sian official censorship is peculiarly SEN
sftive and severe on the question of
permitting picture exhibitions. it is not
strange that the French are surprised
to find this show being allowed at this
particular time. Unless omens fail
they will get much more direct hints
presently when the Cronstadt-To
HONEYMOON is over.

The story of Fields life is one of ro-
nance and pathos. His career began
practically in the mining districts of
Tombstone, Arizona. He was then
about 90 years of age. For thirty years
previous to his advent in Tombstone
he had been in California, drifting to
different mining camps, following every
new excitement. He was a shrewd man.
Of great personal courage and good
judge of ore. When he made his loca-
ton in the new mining district of Tomb
stone he was content to wait.
Among others who squatted upon
what were considered worthless claims
when the town was in its infancy and
its value unknown was Edwin Fields
He had come to Tombstone, like thou
sands Of others, without a dollar. When
the boom began the "Gilded Age" the
claim owned by Fields, early became
desirable property. There were rival
claimants, however, and considerable
litigation But Fields, backed by New
York capitalists, finally won, and sold
the "Gilded Age" for 100000. He,
however, reserved the surface, about
twenty acres. On this was situated the
business part of Tombstone. He sold
twenty y-five-foot lots as high as $1,000,
and for years his rents amounted to
over 81 900 a month.
Then commenced a career of extrav-
agance seldom equaled except by
"Coal-oil Johnny and few other for
tunate but foolish men. When water
in Tombstone sold for five cents a gall
lon Fields took three baths a day He
wore the whitest of flannel suits and
changed about after every bath. His
personal expenditures averaged 500
day.
After milking Tombstone dry, Fields
went to st. Louis to speculate in grain,
but he soon lost the larger portion of his
fortune. Then he came to Chicago and
here he was speedily reduced to pow
erty, and it became with him question
of getting enough to eat. For a. while
he worked at various hotels in the city
as stovekeeper, seldom receiving more
than $14 a month. Worry and ad-
vancing years finally caused him to
succumb. For a few weeks he lay sick
at a cheap lodging-house in Thirteenth
street. He was forcibly carried from
there to the hospital, and after a few
days sent to the poorhouse at Dunning
where he died

or as Scheduled.
Ell PASO CTex.), Feb. 9.-The trains
arriving in the city continue to bring
in goodly number of visitors. the
larger share of whom are coming to be
here during the time set for the great
fistic carnival Among others arriving
to-day was Adjutant-General Mabry of
this State, Captains Brooks and Rogers
and ten picked Texas Rangers.
The Acknowledgement states that he
IS here with these men for the purpose
of seeing that the fights are not brought
off in any disputed or undisputed terri
tory TO which Texas lays claim. He
viii have his headquarters at the Pier
son Hotel where Governor Thornton of
New Mexico is stopping.
Governor Thornton and Adiutant
General Mabry had a conference TODAY
and mapped out their line of procedure
to keep the fight from coming off in
Texas or New Mexico. Governor
Thornton will return to Santa Fe to-
morrow, and through the proper au-
thority make a request that the troons
garrisoned at Fort Bliss be used 10
patrol the border of New Mexico near
the point where Texas, New Mexico and
Old Mexico meet
The preparations made by Texas and
New Mexico Governors since the pass
age of the Catron bill will certainly pre-
vent the carnival from taking place on
United States soil near this place. if
the principals would think of irving
such thing, which is not at all likely.
Notwithstanding the preparations
that are developing to keep the fight
from being pulled off on United States
soil, Dan Stuart is offering to wager
to 1 that the fights will come OF as
seheduled. If he is making a bluff, ne
IS certainly q nervy sport
it IS reported that Governor Ahu-
mada Of Chihuahua came up to Juarez
last evening. but is mot at home to
newspaper reporters. It is also re-
ported that he has secured a leave of
absence which covers the time Of the
carnival, and that his presence here
has nothing to do with his guberna-
torial duties
Stuart certainly manages to keep this
entire community guessing as to the
point at which he intends to have the
great battles.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Although
the present Congress has been in ses-
sion for more than two months, with
out the customary holiday recess, the
Senate will only this week get down to
the actual business of the session, and
begin the consideration of the appro-
priation bills.
Hansbrough's seed resolution is the
unfinished business, and he expects to
have hearing upon it within a few
days although the understanding is
that it is to be laid aside temporarily
whenever appropriation bills are ready
to be considered.
Quay's amended resolution to recon-
nit the tariff bill to the Senate, which
was laid over unfit tomorrow, will
come up early. Quay says that while
the vote will be close, he believes it has
an even chance of passing. The Popu-
lists, however, at their recent confer
eDce, decided to vote against recon-
mitment, and if they do so, together
with the entire Democratic vote, the
resolution viii not prevail.
Smith of New Jersey Will address the
Senate tomorrow on the Monroe reso-
lutions, now pending. 1t is believed
that he viii take ground between the
ultra-conservatism of his colleague,
Seawel1, and the radicalism of Davis Of
Minnesota
The fact that Smith has conferred
with the President on the subject, and
his speech, to a certain extent, is be-
lieyed to reflect the views of the Chief
Executive, viii give it interest. Blanch-
ard of Louisiana viii also speak on the
same subject Tuesday.
The effort to change the elective off,
GERS of the Sente may be made during
the latter part of the week, but there
is more or less conjecture owing to
this, while there is abundant work be-
fore the Senate in the shape of appro-
priation bills. those having been re-
ported to the Senate being the urgent
deficiency, pensions and consular and
diplomatic bills. In none of these have
many additions been made, save in the
urgent deficiency BILL to which. at the
request Of the Treasury Department. a
large amount for unprovided expenses
or the Department OF Justice has been
inserted.
The House will further discuss the
bond silver coinage bill until u o'clock
Tuesday morning Notice has been
given that large number of amend
ments will be offered, and it is not GER
tain when final vote on the Senate
free coinage substitute will be reached.
1t was hoped that it may be had on
Wednesday The silver advocates con-
cede that the Republican vote in favor
of the substitute win not be as large as
was that given against the passage of
the bond bill last December. 1t is
variously estimated by them at from
30 to 40.
After the financial matter has been
disposed of, appropriation bills will
again come to the front. There are two
o. them-the agricultural and military
bills-now on the calendar, and the IN
dian bill is ready for report to the
House.
The Elections Committee have two
or three cases Of contest ready which
they can bring in at any time.

cover up his defalcation. To lend pIaus-
ibility to the story he had hit himself
over the head with the stove poker

ARMENIAN TROUBLES
The Attack of Turks on Zeitoun Not a
Success.


CoNSTANTINOPLF, Feb. On
spite of the satisfactory reports spread
abroad by the Turkish Government re-
garding the attack on Zeitoun. it has
not been success. The ZeitolIn Arrne-
mans, fighting against superior num-
bers, were favored by their impregna BILE
position and by the winter season. In
one bate alone the Turkish losses are
given as 10000, although this number
does not seem possible
The Zeitoun Armenians are said to
have enough ammunition to last until
July. Whatever may be the result of
the mediation, no further attack can be
made until after March. Regarding the
numerical strength of the Zeitounlis.
nothing can be said definitely.
That the Turks are waging a war of
determination against Zeitoun is shown
by their treatment of the villages
around Furnuse is situated about
nine miles east of Zeitoun, and with
the approach of the Turkish army the
Christians had fled into Furnuse from
the surrounding villages, until finally
there were at least 4, 600 people crowded
into the town. They had watchers out
on the approaches to give warning of
the arrival of the Turkish army with
the intention of fleeing to Zeitoun In
some way the Turkish army eluded
these watchers, and surrounded the
town by night, so that the unfortunate
Christians awoke to find a Gordon
around them.
Three hundred women and children
were brought by the soldiers to Marash.
They say that all the rest We're killed
These two-days' winter journey over
the snow was especially hard on the

Friends of Deceased swear to Avenge

GREENCASTLE Ond.), Feb. 9.-This
town was the scene to-day of the most
intense excitement, when it became
known that the headless trunk of Pearl
Bryan had been brought from Cincin-
natl at a late hour last and deposited
in the vault at the cemetery near town.
During the day large crowds went to
the cemetery and viewed the casket
through the iron gratings of the vault
door. Among these were many who had
known the murdered girl from infancy
and strong men shed tears of sympa-
thy when the father, mother, brother
and sisters arrived at the cemetery and
entered the vault. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
were almost Frustrated and the cries
of the brothers and sisters could be
heard on the outside of the vault.
Many present were the younger asso-
ciates of the dead girl. and as the ter
rible affair was discussed the excite
fnent was as intense as yesterday, when
VIII Wood fed from town to avoid sum-
mary vengeance at the hands of the
exasperated populace.
While the parents We're in the vault
there was a separation of the older from
the younger class of men and when the
associates of the dead girl got together
there was a whispered conversation,
whose import was kept from the others
who had assembled at the cemetery.
1t was learned later in the day that
twenty-seven of the young and middle
aged men of the city had pledged them
selves by a solemn promise to avenge
Pearl Bryans death by their own
hands if the law failed to mete out death
to the murderers. The organization
formed to-day is but the nucleus of one
that is to be organized for the purpose
of avenging the crime.
