ATTEMPTED HOLD UP.

DENVER, Col. @ ct. "A special from
Albuquerque, N. NJ, to the Republican
says: An attempt was made tonight to
hold up passenger train No. 2,on the At
lantic and Pacific, due here at 8:45 just
as it was leaving Rio Puerco bridge,
thirty miles west of here. The attempt
was failure owing to the prompt action
Of Deputy Marshal Loomis, who shot
one of the robbers dead and made it so
uncomfortable for the others that they
fled.
Deputy Marshal Loomis, who has
been down in Arizona on the trail of
the Southern New Mexico bandits was
on his return to the city, and he left the
smoking car when the first shot was
fired. He took deliberate aim at one of
the robbers and shot him through the
head. The man ran for a hundred
yards and then dropped dead. The
other robbers retreated to the Malpais.
where their voices, calling for their
comrades, could be heard.
Conductor Heady states that Loomis
remained at Rio Puerco, expecting the
robbers to return for their dead COM
rade, while Selvey. special secret SER
vice officer of the railroad, who was on
the special train, met the posse of Off
GERS at Atlantic and Pacific Junction,
and returned with the party to Rio
Puerco.
The hold-up was failure financial
ly. the robbers securing no money.

THE UNSPEAKABLE TURK
Perfectly Willing to Promise All Sorts
OF Reforms
No Truth in the Report That the Euro
pean Powers Have Reached Con-
clusion Regarding Turkey.

PARIS, Oct. 2.-Des Debats contains
an account Of an interview had by
Frenchman with the sultan at Constan-
tinople on Sunday, in which the latter
declared that any civil or military offic-
er convicted of failing to do his duty
during the recent massacres in Con-
stantinople would be punished.
The sultan is reported to have added
that the government woold endeavor to
introduce reforms gradually, and that
he would abide by all the pledges con-
tained in the treaty of Berlin, although
certain clauses in that treaty favorable
to Turkey had purposely been forgotten.
The people of Europe, the sultan point
ed out, were too apt to forget the ma
terial difficulties in his way. His Asiatic
empire, he added, contained two prov
inces which were alone equal in size to
France, and several of the distant vii
graphs.
The sultan strongly emphasized his
desire that there should be great i'm
provements in the government and in
the empire, and he urged that If progress
was slow it was due to the Armenians
having caused trouble.
NO AGREEMENT.
LONDON, Oct. 2.-The Press associa-
ton this evening announces it learns
from government sources that there is
no truth in the report, which originated
in dispatch from Vienna to the Daily
Mail today, saying that the powers
have agreed upon a pacific settlement
of the eastern question, honorable to
all parties and amply guaranteeing the
security of the Armenians. There was
a direct intimation that the Turkish diff
ficulty was virtually settled, but it ap-
pears such is not the case.

GOT THE MITTEN.
A Mild-Mannered Crank Proposes to
Virginia Fair.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. miss Vir-
ginia Fair, daughter of the late James
G. Fair, received unique proposal of
marriage Thursday night. Shortly af-
ter dinner Thursday evening, the door
bell Of the Fair mansion on Pine street
asked to see Miss Fair. He was admit
ted to the house, and when Miss Fair
entered the room, the young man said:
what I am about to say to you may
seem rather peculiar, but expect to be
chancellor of the German empire in a
few years and would like to marry you.
OF course, I realize that I am total
stranger to you, but I have known
about you for some time, and I think
we could be happy together
Miss Fair did not lose her presence
of mind, but said that she could not
think of considering such proposal
without consulting her sister. Mrs
Oelrichs was called, and that lady,
