The Constantinople Riots.
Constantinople, Aug 31.-When
the Armenians seized the Ottoman
bank, on Wedne esday last, Edgar Vim
cent and some OF the other directors es-
capped to the ! 1oof, and when the the
troops arrived. the latter fired haphaz-
zard at every body appearing at the
windows. Thus several clerks who
were trying to scape were killed.
While the fighting was proceeding,
hundreds of Massulmans, armed with
cudgels and led by the Softas gathered
in groups, ovetran the quarter and
killed or assaulted all the Armenians
they met. Tho scene resembled the
riots of Septe mber, 1895. Several
shops in the g alatia were plundered
and panic spread over the whole city,
and especially in the Pera quarter,
where two bombs were thrown into the
midst of group of soldiers, several of
whom were won hded. The people gen.
orally were afraid to venture into the
streets.
The officials Of the British postoffice
were virtually prisoners until night,
and the mail was not dispatched.
1t also appears that while the Otto
man bank was being attacked, circu-
lars were delivered at the different en-
bassies, signed by the Armenian revo-
lutionary committee, declaring that
they intended 10 seize the bank and
hold it for tw 0 days, during which
they wanted tho powers to actively in

nian question and adding that if the
authorities tried to recapture the bank,
they would blow it up with dynamite.
They later m Rde statement saying
that they held a 3 hostages number of
the employees Of the bank, and that
they had seized the bank in order to
demonstrate, not against the Turks. nor
the bank, but against the powers, who
had abandoned the Armenians. They
had selected the bank as the most
favorable place, and expressed their
willingness to hrrender, provided they
were allowed to retain their revolvers,
while yielding up the bombs in their
possession, and receiving safe conduct
out of the country. These terms were
agreed upon and the Armeniana sur.
rendered last nj ght and were conveyed

CANADA WON THE CUP.
Vencedor Lost the Race by an Unfortu-
nate Mistake.

nate Mistake.
Toledo, Aug. 2s.-The Canadian
yacht Canada defeated the challenger,
Vencedor, today, and won the interna-
tional lace. The defender won by &c
seconds time allowance after as pretty
contest as was ever sailed on Lake
Erie. 1t was a haro race for the
Yankee yacht to lose, for she had the
race we'll won, but lost it in a most
unfortunate way. The course was
five miles straightaway to leeward,
and return and repeat. On the second
turn Captain Barber could not distin.
guish the stakeboat There was three
boats in the line flying the American
tag, and there was nothing to indicate
which of these boats was the real boat.
Vencedor WAS headed properly for the
right boat, but as she neared it her cap.
tain seemed perplexed and undecided
what to do. Finally he pulled away
for the furthermost one and rounded
them all. His error cost him the race,
for he lost fully two minutes hunting
for the right boat. Had be turned the
boat properly. Vencedor would have
won the race by about / . minutes, in.
stead of losing it by little less than
half minute. Vencedor outsailed
her rival on each of the four legs. and
when it was all over. everyone agreed
that Vencedor had done the best work,
and only lost becnase of the unfortun-
ate circumstance of going around the
wrong stakeboat.

money under our present laws
but IN discussion by a group
of public men it was quickly
shown thata majority of them
didn't know, A majority con.
tended that silver was not a le-
gal tender In sums exceeding SO
and it required the production
of a copy Of the revised statutes
Of the United States to convince
them to the contrary, The act
of 1873, generally spoken Of as
the characterization Of silver,
dropped the silver dollar entire
ly from our CONS and provided,
that ''that the silver coins Of the
United States shall be a legal
tender at their nominal value for
any amount not exceeding SIS in
any one payment" but this part
of the act was superseded FIVE
years later by the Bland act,
which provided for the coinage
Of our present silver dollars and
further provided for that they
together with all the silver
dollars heretofore coined by the
y. S., of like weight and fine
ness shall be legal tender at
their nominal value for all debts
and dues, both public and pri-
vate, except where expressly
stipulated in the contract" This
is the law. Silver dollars are
today a legal tender to any
amount of Indebtedness, not
stipulated to be paid in some
other particular kind of money
and if this fact is unknown to
five men in public life it is not
unreasonable to suppose that it
is unknown to thousands of pri-
Vate citizens. The act Of 1890,
which provides that the silver
coins less than one dollar shall
be legal tender in all sums not
exceeding $40, is probably re-
sponsible for the prevalence
of the idea that the silver dollar
is legal tender only to that
amount. AS a mat ;er of fact the
silver coins of less than one dol
lar are full legal tender in
amounts up to ten dollars no
matter what previous contract
may have been made as to the
payment in other money.
