THE SULTAN'S LETTER.

Turkeys Ruler Replies to Queen VictOria's
Personal Letter on Armenian Atrocities.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Feb. 8.-The sultan
has replied to the autograph letter OF
Queen Victoria, which, it is under
stood, was a personal appeal to the
better nature of the sultan against the
condition of Asia Minor. The sultan
sympathizes with the humane senti.
ments expressed and declares that the
reports of the massacres were spread
by evil disposed persons. The sultan
asserts, contrary to allegations, that
it was the Turks who were first at.
tackled while praying in the mosque
Continuing, the sultan assures the
queen that the measures taken have
succeeded in restoring order, that, ex-
cept at Zeitoun. quiet prevails every
where and that the negotiations going
on with the insurgents of Zeitoun un-
doubtedly will lead the inha bitants to

SENATOR VEST ANSWERED.

Secretary Morton Tells Why Extra Distri-
buttons of Seeds Were Made In Certain
Localities.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Being asked
as to the charge made in the senate by
Senator Vest that the secretary of agri-
culture had distributed $50, 900 more
packages of seeds in Nebraska than
that state was entitled to last year,
Secretary Morton said that during
the recent seasons of extreme
drought in the northwest he
gave far more than the normal
quota of seed to Nebraska, Kansas and
each of the Dakotas and to Oklahoma
The Representatives and senators from
the states named and the delegate
from Oklahoma will verify that state
ment. This was charitable and not
a political distribution. The quotas
of the drought-striclen sections
were sent directly to and distributed
by societies and persons designated by
their respective communities for that
charitable work. The secretary chal-
lenges the severest scrutiny of his in
tentions and his acts, and is delighted
with the character of the enemies he
seems to be propagating.

STORM AND FLOOD.

New York and Other Eastern States Elk.
perience the Worst Storm for Years.
NEW YORK. Feb. THE storm of
rain and wind which began Wednesday
night is the most severe that has Wis
tied this vicinity for many months
At times during the day the wind
blew at the rate of - miles
an hour, and nothing like its
wild sweep up Broadway and through
the long avenues has been seen
in this city for years. Women and chill
dren were blown off their feet and into
the streets in many cases. Brooklyn
Jared worse. Two men are dead and
another dying as a result of the col
lapse of the 81 story cooperage build
ing at seth street Trees were uproot-
ed, fences and tops of sheds and out
houses were blown down and window
glass broken.
The storm seems to have been gen.
eral over New York, New Jersey and
New England. At Hastings, n. Y,
rain loosened the earth EN- bankments
on the Hudson River railroad tracks
between Hastings and DobD's Ferry.
and serious landslide resulted.
In Connecticut the storm was terrific.
At Waterbury the water inundated the
principal streets of the city, flooding
business houses, washed out roadways
and caused damage of from $40, 900 to
$50, 900. Court square is a lake of
water five feet in depth, and the car
tracks are covered by two feet of water
in the business section.

MURDERER HANGED.
a Colorado Triple Murderer Pays the
Penalty OF His Crime.

a Colorado Triple Murderer Pays the
Penalty of His Crime.
CANON CITY. Col, Feb. 6-Benjamin
Radtliff, the slayer of the entire school
board of Jefferson district, Park
county, was hanged at the penitentiary
last night at sos o'clock. The crime
for which he suffered death was one of
the most startling in the history of
Colorado. Prompted by a desire for
revenge for what he considered griev-
Gus wrongs, he deliberately shot
down in the schoolhouse at jefferson,
Park county, the three members
of the school board, Samuel Tay-
lor, Lincoln F. McCurdy and George
D. Wyatt. The cause of the trouble
was the circulation of reports of al
legged intimacy between Ratclif and
his motherless daughter, girl of 1S.
These stories Ratcliff attributed to
McCurdy. He had also fancied griev-
ance against the other mem ers of the
board over the location of the school
house. May 6, 1895, was election day
in the district, and Ratcliff went to the
schoolhouse at an early hour, carrying
a Win chester rife. He waited till the
three members of the board arrived to
open the polls. He entered the build
ing and announced that he wanted a
reckoning. A heated discussion en-
sued, which ended by Ratcliff shoot
ing the others down, one after an.
other

BRIDGE ACCIDENT.

Fifteen Workmen Thrown into the Water
Near Bristol, COnn.-Six Lost.
HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. six work.
men lost their lives and nine others
were barely rescued from the icy water
of the Pequeboc river, near Bristol,
early yesterday evening. A new bridge
had been built over the river, carrying
the tracks of the New England rail-
road. and the men were at work talk
ing up the ties and rails from the old
bridge, which was in progress of
demolition. The Is workmen had
gathered about the middle of the
bridge in their work, when suddenly
the structure began to shake, and with
scarcely a moments warning gave
way. The men were all precipitated
into the icy water below, in the midst
of the broken mass of timbers. Two
or three managed to reach the land in
safety and Immediately set to work to
help their comrades and at Ii o'clock
nine of the fifteen had either escaped
or been rescued alive. The body of
one man had been recovered and five
are still missing.

day afternoon the treasury officials
completed the computation of bids
offered for the new bond issue, from
which it appears that the amount of
bids above that of j. P. Morgan and
his associates ($11C. 6S77) was $66, 7SS, $50,
and that the amount which will be
awarded to the syndicate therefore

number of successful bidders is 781.

Mrs Lydia Spaulding, the woman who
has brought suit against the Pullman
Palace Car Co. and the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe railway for the re-
covery of 100000 damages, is a ro-
mantle one. Struggling with poverty
as the wife of an aged, unsuccessful
physician; the mother Of a handsome
boy, united by social ties with men and
women who became kings and queens
in the twin worlds of finance and
fashion: the mistress of the most
palatial private hotel and board
ing house in San Francisco;
suddenly bereft of husband and
son; the possessor of a hard earned for
tune; sustaining the loss of health;
weak in mind and body; ladened with
accommodating years; torn from her rail-
way apartment and rudely thrust into
a dingy prison cell, to be surrounded
by the most loathsome Migrants in the
town of Leadville; robbed, as she says,
of IS, 900 in jewels and money; these
are some of the successive phases, mis-
cries, pleasures, endeavors, hopeless
features, of Mrs. Spaulding's history.
