CARGO ALL ABLAZE.
Narrow Escape of the Crew of the
WOrsIey Hall.

WOrs1ey Hall.
NEW YORK, Oct 26.-The British
steamer Worsley Hall, Capt. Cameron,
put into this port this mornig with
her cargo on fire. She was bound from
New Orleans for Havre, and left the
former port on Oct 49, On the morn
ing of Oct. %, when the steamer was
$50 miles east by south off Sandy Hook,
during strong southerly gale, smoke
was found issuing from the ventilators
under the bridge, and an examination
showed that the cotton slowed in the
forward hold, and which constituted the
major portion of the cargo, was on fire.
The ship was at once put before the
wind, in order to lessen the draught,
and the hatch was lifted. The smoke
was almost overpowering, but the Sin
galese sailors, impelled by fear of the
ship being consumed, and encouraged
by the example of the officers, set man
fully to work and managed to hoist out
twenty bales of cotton and pile them
up on thegdeck. The ship was rolling
with the heavy sea that was running,
and soon a huge wave broke over the
side and washed the bales overheard.
AS the work of breaking out the car
go seemed impossible in the high sea,
Capt. Cameron decided to flood the
hold. The matches were battened
down, hose was introduced into the
1tO1O, anu lllC llIS STAR leu. Lie
water, coming into contact with the
fire, produced steam, which, added to
the smoke and sickening odor of the
burning cotton, poured into the cabin
and drove all hands on deck. AS soon
as the matches were battened down
the ship was headed for New York. AS
the water poured into the hold the ship
sank down by the head and took a de-
cided list to starboard SO as to impede
the ships progress considerably. The
decks grew warm with the fire, but
not unbearably so.
1t was found necessary to batten the
cabin doors, as the steam and smoke
were sitting, and it was impossible to
enter there. When the Worsley Hall
arrived at quarantine all hands were
worn out with work and anxiety. 1t
may be necessary to scuttle the ship
to put out the fire. At present the
Worsley Hall is anchored off Clifton,

bishop of Alaska and the Aleutian IS

ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTED.
New Sensation Injected Into the
Armenian Problem.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 26.-While Mgr
Bartelomeos, the locum~ tenens of the Armen-
ian patriarchate, was entering his carriage
today, four men made an attempt to assas-
sinate him, but they were seized by the pre-
lates escort. One of the would-be assas-
sins is said to be an Armenian, and it is ex-
planned that Mgr. Bartelomeos is unpopular
with a section Of the Armenans, owing, it
is added, to his subservience to the palace
authorities. Mgr. Bartelomeos was formerly
archbishop of Brusa and was chosen locum
tenens of the Armenian Patriarch Matthew
IZmirlian, when the latter resigned, early in
August lst Bartelomeos was the Turkish
government candidate for the patriarchate
at the election in December, 1894, but he only
obtained a. few votes, on account of his Mo-
hammedan sympathies, and when he was
made locum tenens and was received in aud
fence to the sultan, he made an address of
the most servile description, which aroused
the indignation of the Armenians and pro-
voked the contempt of the Turks themselves.

:
sion exists. The echoes of the recent
massacres in the City of Egin are just
reaching here, in spite of the efforts
made by the porte to suppress any
thing but the official news.
The Armenian reports say that 1000
Armenians were killed at Egin, so far
as known; that no Turks were killed !;
that 1000 houses were burned, leaving
only 100 houses standing for the Chris
tlan population, and that the women
and children were huddled together In
the school house and some of the re-
naming buildings, destitute and
hungry to such an extent that even the
governor general telegraphed that they
were in need of food The official ac-
count Of the affair is that the Armen-
ians remained in the church on Sun
day and Monday SO long as to excite
suspicion, and that the government rep
resentatives sent officials to investigate.
These officials are said to have found
that the Armenians gathered in the
church had placed rope around the
neck of the representative Of the Ar
menian patriarch and were dragging
him around the church and shouting,
why did you not allow us to make
disturbance before?' The Turkish Of
fcials further claim that the shot fired
on Tuesday, Sept. IA, which precipi-
tated the massacre was fired by Kas-
SAP ManVOg, a prominent Armenian,
and that the Armenians issued from
their church, armed with 500 rifles and
with bombs bearing the name of their
deposed patriarch, Izmiralian, and
marched to the upper part Of the town
where they met the soldiers who were
returning from driving off the Kurds,
and that the Armenians thereupon
fired upon the soldiers and killed sew
eral of them.
This, the Turk says, precipitated the
massacre. Whichever version is true,
there is no doubt of the slaughter,
burning and plundering which is very
serious. 1t is claimed in certain quar-
tiers that when the heavy SHOWS are on
the ground and the escape of the I'M
fortunate Armenians Is almost impos-
sible, the Turk will resume his butcher
ing with the knowledge that the news
will not reach Europe or America
until the massacres are practically
things Of the past, to be denied and
eventually condoned by lapse Of time.
The reports from Egin also say that a
number Of Christians have been muir
dered in adjacent villages since the
massacre in the city. The events of
the past year have seriously weakened
the authority of the Turkish govern
ment over it's Mahommedan subjects.
Very little confidence can be placed in
the soldiers and gendarmes, as the lat
ter have received no pay for many
months and see no immediate prospect
of getting any.

read. 1t is follows:
Il rejoice in the rescue of any faction of
the Armenians from the fangs Of the great
assassin. So long as the inaction of the
powers continues, the situation will be shame
full as well as sad, but the deeds are recorded
both in heaven and before man, and con-
stantly accumulating horrors may yet work
the downfall Of that crying iniquity known
as the Turkish empire
Resolutions were passed calling on the gov
eminent to give the most liberal possible in
