TO KILL ALL CHRISTIANS.
Report that Turks Are Planning &
Wholesale Massacre.

A dispatch from Constantinople asserts
that wholesale massacre of Christians
Is planned to occur there within a fort
night, and that Armenians have been de-
ported from there on board ships and have
been drowned in patches. The Lon
don Times, in an editorial dis
cussing the utterances of Lord
Rosebery and Henry Asquith on the
Armenian question, says: Lord Rose
bury and Mr.. Asquith have assumed a
very grave responsibility. 1t Is easy to
conjure n whirlwind Of national wrath,
but it would battle the strongest will and
most sagaclous judgment to direct the
storm when il is raised. Are the agitators
prepared to face a European war? If
not, let them pause while there Is yet
time"
The official Turkish estimate of the
number of victims of the massacres in
Constantinople is LOO. Other estimates
run pretty much all the way upward from
this figure. The official estimate Is cou-
pied with the allegation that many Of
those killed were in reality Turks, but
that they were buried with the Arme-
mans, and so their number went to swell
the supposed number of Armenian vic
tins. This is undoubtedly designed as
an apology and explanation of the asser-
ton contained in the note of the powers
that the savage bands which murderous-
ly attacked the Armenians and pillaged
their houses were not accidental gather
ings Of fanatical people or undirected mobs,
but that there was every indication of spe-
cial organization, and of it's being known
to, if not directed by. the authorities. In
foreign circles the statements that Turks
We're killed along with the Armenians is
denied.
The actual number of the victims Of
the disorders was certainly 1000, and
will probably reach 5000. The military
authorities state that three soldiers were
killed and thirty were wounded. The
Porte states that 10 Mussulmans were
wounded. All Mussulmans who have yet
been tried by the extraordinary tribunal
appointed TO pass judgment on those i'm
blicated in the recent massacre have
been acquitted of the charge of compiled
ty. The evidence against many of those
was deemed by foreign residents conclu-
sive, and the failure to hold them adds to
the conviction that the Porte has no in
tention of complying with the demand Of
the powers that the culprits shall be
brought to punishment In view of this
failure to punish the authors of the out
RACES upon the Armenians. the state Of
terrorism among the Armenians continues
unabated, and the exodus of these people
goes on with no diminution.

the Spanish Government in the province
Of Cavite, Philippine Islands, have been
shot.
Smith Culbertson, so years old, of Bir-
mingham. Iowa, prominent man in that
town, committed suicide by jumping into
a deep well. The cause was despondency

One of the first Americans to step ashore

assassination of the Gear of Russia and of
Queen Victoria during the Cars visit to
London.
The forces of the dynamiters were TO
have been concentrated upon London,
where it was planned to give
many dynamite demonstrations in
quick succession about the time of
the assassination of the Gear and
the Queen. While action was being car
ried forward in London Bell was to have
attended to several dynamite outrages in
Scotland for the purpose of distracting
the authorities. That much, at least, is
given out at Scotland Yard, and more, it
is said. of even more startling nature
will follow. The Scotland Yard detect
ives acted promptly and quickly. They
had been dogging the steps of the con-
spirators in America, and police agents
followed the Invincibles everywhere after
their arrival in Europe.
This conspiracy goes back to the mur-
der of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr.
Burke in Phoenix Park. Dublin, in 1882.
The warrant on which lyman was arrest
ed was that which was issued fourteen
years ago charging him with participa-
ton in the Phoenix Park crime. That he
was let go at that time is considered
triumph of detective strategy. For four
teen years his every movement has been
watched, and there is no doubt that the
details of the vast conspiracy, with all
its ramifcations. will be laid bare. A
significant feature of this situation is
that the information which explained to
the police the meaning of Tynan's ac-
tons and the purpose of his trip to Eu-
rope is said to have come from some Of
the political prisoners who were recently
released by the Government. These men
had left America for England thorough
ly disguised and under assumed names.

earthed q Conspiracy.
The arrest of lyman and other Irish
Invincibles is, II Is thought, merely the
opening chapter of N story soon to be pub
lished in all completeness-a story that
will astonish America and shake England
from center to circumference, q story
that will reveal all the details of the bold
est and most desperate conspiracy known
TO modern times. The arrest brings back
with clearness recollection of the Phoe-
nix Park murders. That crime fills many,
and they the darkest, pages In Irish his
tory. AS crime, simply, il was so coolly
planned and so dastardly executed that
no historian Of this or any other age can
pass il by. II was magni6ed by a series
of sensational criminal events that grew
out of the blood-stained grass In Phoenix
Park. 1t gave birth to one Of the most
sensational happenings of any time-the
trial Of great party leader and recog-
nized chief Of a people as accessory TO the
murder, for such, In fact, was the parlia-
mentary inquiry into the charges brought
by the London Times against Charles
Stewart Parnell. And now, after four
teen years, the arrest of lyman opens a
field for limitless speculation as TO where
its consequences will end.
London is thoroughly startled over the
disclosures following the arrest of the
Irish Invincibles. Z. j. p. lyman and
Edward Bell. Several facts in connection
with their apprehension are causing
amazement The arrests of j. Wallace
and John +. Kearney at Rotterdam and
the capture of number of internal ma
chimes in their possession, together with
the documents found upon the prisoner
Bell in Glasgow, 90 to show the existence
of the most important dynamite conspir-
acy ever hatched. Information in the
possession of the officials at Scotland
Yard, consisting of papers written in cipher,
of facts gathered from private sources and
other evidence not yet made public, leave
small doubt that the plot provided for the

In the usual place. a half-mile from shore.
The order was given to stop the engines,
but for some reason not explained the
machinery continued TO work, and the
powerful twin screws dragged the anchor
until the boat pushed her nose upon the
sands.
When the boat finally came to stand
her bow stood about two feet higher than
1t should. Meanwhile the water continued
to go out, rendering the great vessel more
and more helpless. The tug Aquidneck

gan work, but ii was soon discovered that
the Texas was stranded.

HEAVY VOTE IN MAINE.
Republicans Make Tremendous Gains
In Pine Tree State.

In Pine Tree State.
Maine went Republican in Mondays
election by from 10000 to 5000 plurality,
the largest in the history Of the State. 1t
proved landslide far beyond the claims
or expectations Of the party managers in
the State. Llewellyn Powers Is elected
Governor, and Congressman Reed, Ding
ley, Milliken and Boutelle are returned
by largely increased pluralties over those
of two years ago. Indications are that
the total Republican vote will reach S2,-
IL, a gain of 12,523 over two years ago.
Mr.. Reeds plurality will reach 10000, the
largest he has ever received. The returns
show majority of about 1900 for Mr.
Dingley for Congressman from the Sec
,ond district, over 10000 for Mr. Milliken
in the Third district and practically the
same for Mr.. Boutelle in the Fourth dis
tricI.
The total vote in the State will proba-
bly, reach 10000, which is the largest
ever cast in the State election during
presidential campaign. From returns at
hand Chairman Manley estimates the
Republican plurality at $4,000. 1t is the
general estimate that the figures will be
the largest ever given in Maine. Secre-
tary Beane of the silver Democratic State
committee comedies the election of the
Republican ticket by over 10000 plu-
rality. He said: II am satisfied Powers
majority will be over 10000. 1t Is much
greater than l expected. have nothing
to say of the result"
The city of Bath, the home of Arthur
Sewall, gave plurality of 7S2 for Pow
ers, which is the largest Republican plu-
rality ever given there. Congressman
Dingley gained "a over his 1892 plurality
in the same city. Augusta gives q Re-
publican plurality of 957, the largest In
the history of the city. More than one
third of the former Democratic vote went
Republican. Portland's complete vote
gives Powers plurality of 1887, a gain
over 1892 of 1,451. Reeds plurality In
Portland is $3.50. Powers has plu-
rality in Bangor of 81, gain Of 44T

over 1892. Aroostook County gives the
Republican ticket 1000 plurality. Con-
gresham Boutelle runs ahead of his
ticket.
All the towns in Androscoggin County
give Powers, 5,612; Frank, 1924; Ladd,
1874; Bateman, 352; Clifford, 81. This Is
Republican increase over 1892 of l, ,2S6.
There were only few local contests to
arouse factional feuds, and order was
preserved at the polls throughout the
State without much difficulty. In all the
strife and contention during the campaign
the contest was remarkably free from
personalities.
The most effective work was done from
the stump, and never did a more formida-
bic array of campaign orators expound
Republican doctrines in a New England
State. But the struggle was not entirely
one-sided. With internal dissensions and
a lack of funds to contend with. the Dem
ocrats made a very strong fight, especial
ly in the cities Candidate Frank did
good work on the stump. and, while the
speakers generally from outside of the
State were not orators of great fame.
their work was productive OF some re-
suits.
The Prohibitionists conducted their
campaign on practically the same lines
as In past years. In none of the con-
gressional districts was there a close con-
test. All of the Democratic candidates
for Congress evidently believed that It
was impossible to defeat the Republican
nominees and their canvass was not very
active. Mr.. George Il. Hughes, chair
man of the Democratic State committee.
says that before the campaign opened II
was evident that II was absolutely impos-
sible for the Democrats to carry the State,
and it would have been the height of folly
to have made the attempt. He declares,
too, that the Republican managers work
ed night and day and spent thousands Of
dollars In campaigning.

COCHRAN AT CHICAGO.
Eloquent New York Orator Addresses
AN Immense Audience.

Bourke Cochran. of New York, spoke

was out of the question for all of these
people TO hear Mr.. Cochran, an overflow
meeting was arranged for Mt Battery ID,
and this place was jammed to the doors.
Mr.. Cochran was not able to reach the
Battery until late in the evening. owing to
the length of his Auditorium address, and
local speakers entertained the crowd pend
ing his arrival. No man who ever spoke
in the Auditorium had larger audience
than Mr.. Cochran. All the seats were
taken fully thirty minutes before the time
set for the commencement of his address.
In the aisles men sat upon the floor, and

CROWDS GREET BRYAN.
st. Louis Admirers ALMOST Crush
Him While in Church.

When William ]. Bryan came out Of
the Presbyterian Church in st. Louis
which he attended Sunday he was greet
ed by n crowd of people who cheered
him and shouted as loudly rs did those
who heard him speak Saturday night. AS
he entered the house of worship 1000
people were vainly seeking admission. But
the editice was packed To its fullest capac-
ity and hundreds were turned away.
When the benediction was pronounced
there was crush around the pew occu-
pied by the candidate. The jam became
so violent in short while that Mr.. Bryan
was almost crushed to the floor A ser
geant of police was called and he, aided
by Col J. J. Martin, whose pew he occu.
pied, succeeded in conducting Mr.. Bryan
safely out Of the church. About the
church was a great multitude. Wholly
forgetfm of the Sabbath, they cheered
him Justify. The police pulled him through
the crowd from the church door to his
carriage at the curb. but men held the
horses and for several minutes he sat in
the carriage shaking hands with the men
and women who struggled to reach him.
Col. Martin finally reached the carriage
and got into il and the horses dashed
away amid cheers.
