The Constantinople Riots.
Constantinople, Aug. 31.-When
the Armenians seized the Ottoman
bank, on Wednesday last, Edgar Vim
cent and some of the other directors es-
capped to the roof, and when the the
troops arrived, the latter fred haphaz-
zard at everybody appearing at the
windows. Thus several clerks who
were trying to escape were killed.
While the fighting was proceeding,
hundreds of Mussulmans, armed with
cudgels and led by the Softas gathered
in groups, overran the quarter and
killed or assaulted all the Armenians
they met. The scene resembled the
riots of September, 1896. Several
shops in the Galatia 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 wounded. 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 to seize the bank and
hold it for two days, during which
they wanted the powers to actively in
tervene in the settlement of the Arme-
nian question and adding that if the
authorities tried to recapture the bank,
they would blow it up with dynamite.
They later made statement saying
that they held as 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 surrender, 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 night and were conveyed

WITH MISS SALMON.

Miss Salmon's entertainment was
given last night in the Grand Opera
House. Like all her ventures it went
off with precision and accuracy that
were well nigh marvellous, when one
considers the great number of people
taking part.
The first part consisted of physical
exercises and began with an exhibit
ton of fancy step dancing. The two
step mazourka, polka, santa marie,
highland schottische. triangle quadrille
march and highland ding were among
the steps illustrated by her pupils.
Edith Corey, a tot of 6 years, was very
noticeable in her part in some of these
dances by reason of the ease and
grace with which she went through
the intricate steps.
Both the senior and junior divisions
of the physical cui.are class went
through with the exercises in calls
themes in almost faultless style.
The Evolutionary and musical part
of the entertainment was very enjoy
able indeed, and the various tableaux
were such as would win most extrava-
CANT praise were they given by any
travelling company.
The Poses Plastique" were thor
oughly artistic in every respect
In fact, every minute detail seemed
to have been prepared and awkward
incidents and delays naturally looked
for in entertainments of this character
were almost entirely absent.
