CoNsTANT1NoPLE dispatches of Aug.
81, report that on the previous after
noon a party of forty men, armed with
revolvers and bombs forced their way
into the Ottoman Bank, killing the gen.
darmes. who we're guarding the doors Of
the institution. The clerks employed in
the bank fed. The attacking party
posted themselves at the windows and
upon the roof of the bank, and kept up
lively exchange of shots with police.
Riotous outbreaks also took place in va
rious parts of Galata, the largest suburb
of Constantinople, a number of shops be.
| ing sacked and many persons killed and
wounded. A bomb was exploded near
| the guard house in Constantinople, kill
ing several soldiers and wounding num-
bers of others. The British warship
Dryad and the French and Italian
guardships have steamed up to Galata.
There is no doubt that the rioting was
the work of the Armenian Revolutionary
Society.
CO
MINISTER TERRELL cabled the De-
partment of State that the armed revo-
lutionists who closed the bank an
nounced that their purpose was to Sc
cure reforms. They declared that. unless
these reforms we're granted within three
days, the bank and inmates would be
destroyed by bombs. At the same time
dynamite bombs were exploded by Ar
medians in the streets ut remote locali-
ties, killing about thirty Turkish SOL
diers. Several hundred Armenians were
killed, and at the time of cabling the
Minister stated that all the houses in
the city were closed. Minister Terrell
adds that after negotiations the revolu-
tionists in the bank were placed on
board steamer to be conveyed to for
eign port.
A DISPATCH to the Telegraph from
Kieff Aug. 30 Gays that Prince Lobanoff-
Rostovsky, Russian Minister of Foreign
Affairs, died suddenly while travelling
from Vienna to that place. Prince Lob
anoff- Rostovsky was in the company OF
the Gear at the time of his death
and his demise was wholly without
warming. The news of the death OF
Prince Lobanoff Rostovsky. according to
the dispatch to the Telegraph, has
caused great excitement throughout
Russia, where the personality of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs was consid-
cred to be second only to the Gear him
self. The Prince pursued strong for
eign policy "a policy which was re-
garded in some quarters as threatening
the peace of the world.

MAJOR MCKINLEY's letter of accept
auce was published last week. 1t is an
elaborate document and will prove
highly serviceable as a campaign circula-
tor. As "vote getter" for the Repub-
licans it is regarded as one of the best,
as it is a clear. compact and forcible
statement of the Republican side of the
money and tariff questions.

ONE of the striking features of the
present Presidential campaign is the
eagerness to hear speakers and to read
political documents. Nothing equaling
it was experinced in the last two or three
campaigns. They were tame indeed as
compared with this. Formerly the mana
gers had to send out bands to drum up
crowds to fill the halls to hear the speak
ers. Now they have to issue tickets in
order to prevent the crowds from beeom-
ing too big for proper control. Such at
least has been the case in New York
City.

The great strike in Cleveland. after
many weeks of rioting and violence. at
tempted murder and general derange-
ment of business, has been settled at last
and the strikers have asked the Courts
to compel the firms to give them the
work which they have so persistently
refused to take. The result is another
evidence of the folly of strikes"

A Dumb Weather Prophet.

J. Eliot. Meteorological Reporter

Gently discovered that as weather
prophet railway tunnel may serve a
useful purpose. He informs us that
Mr.. Egerton, the executive engineer of
the Mushkaf-Bolan Railway, has called
his attention to 'an interesting feat-
ure" of the Khojak tunnel. 1t appears
that the current in this tunnel always
sets in one direction during fire
weather over the Baluchistan plateau,
and in the opposite direction during
bad weather. and that these currents
always precede by some hours the fine
or troubled weather in the open. Thus
it has for some time been the practice
to telegraph every change in the cur
rents to Quetta for the information Of
the railway authorities, and these
messages have proved extremely USE
full. Hearing of this, Mr.. Eliot ar.
ranged with Mr.. Egerton for the de-
epatch of similar kilograms to hi,n,
and he has found that they frequently
give valuable indications, and hence
proposes to continue them.-1ndian

A Dog That Smokes.

John Winthrop. travelling man,
who resides in South Washington. is
the owner of a Scotch torrier that has
the tobacco habit. Mr.. Winthrop
has owned the dog ever since the ami
mails eyes were opened, and early in
puppyhood the terrier was taught the
common trick OF standing Oh its
launches in corner with pipe in
its mouth. Instead of q clay pipe
that had not been used, an old and
very strongly impregnated one, dis
carded by Mr.. Winthrop, was given to
the dog. At first he did not like it,
but soon contracted the habit, and 60
ing to the corner would bark until
given the pipe. Then tobacco was
put in and lit. The dog objected to
the smoke, but in few lessons was
not satisfied until the pipe was filled
and lighted For the past year the
animal has smoked pipe every even-
ing and has grown fat on it. The dog
is smaller than the average of his
species, indicating that tobacco has
stunted his growth, but otherwise no
i'll effects have been seen. Washing

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A great deal OF soft corn is given TO
hogs which might much more profit
ably be given to cows that are giving
milk.
There is considerable nutrition IN
the succu,ent cob of soft corn, and
this is lost when the pig gets it. Give
it to the cows.
Sweet corn can be readily saved for
seed, even while green, if the ear is
cut from the stalk and hung up to
dry. 1t is still better il exposed, with
the husk stripped from it, but at

cellent food to make rich milk, though
of course care must be taken not to
feed enough to fattea the COW. This
rarely happens when the cow is a good

The Adopted Hare.

An interesting experiment in the
rearing Of animals is recorded by a
German scientist. A country gentle
man having captured q young hare a
few days ago, conceived the idea of
giving it as foster mother cat which
had just had litter of kittens. The
cat showed no objection to this curious
addition to her family, and the herb
ivorous nursing seemed to take very
we'll to the regime to which it was SO
unexpectedly subjected.
The hare throve and grew. and the
cat soon thought il time to begin the
education OF her foster child. For
the catching OF mice. however, the
hare showed not the slightest disposi.
tion, and at each fault committed the
adaptive mother administered vigor-
Gus correction with her paws. This
produced but little Improvement, and
the relations between the two animals
wore becoming somewhat strained,
when one day they were placed to-
gether on the lawn in front Of the
house.
Tho hare ut once proceeded TO
nibble at tho vegetation with remark
able avidity, TO the evident astonish-
ment OF the eat, who could make
nothing of such conduct. Finally.
pcrceiviug that she had nourished
anything but kitten. the disap.
pointed nurse withdrew with an OK.

"The brave dog snapped at the

severely injured by the tigers claws.
"The reason for this outburst was
that tho tiger evidently did not recog-

No Longer a sslIhost,, Train.

The "ghost train" no longer runs
over the New York, New Haven and
Hartford road between Boston and
this city. It was one of the fastest
and most completely equipped of the
trains in the express service of the
road. 1t was not known as the ''ghost
train" by the railroad authorities, and
it is said that this uncanny name, be.
slowed upon it by passengers and resi-.
dents along the line, had something
to do with its discontinuance.
The exterior of all the cars which
composed the train. from the express
car to the ordinary day coach, were
painted a solid dead white. Every
night train of these white cars pulled
into the Grand Central Station at nine
o'clock and at the same hour similar
train reached the Boston terminus.
To the railway authorities this service
was known as the "New England Ex-
press, but the long unbroken string
of white cars dashing through the
dar kness, appearing almost like Q
spectre, became known all along the
line as the ''ghost train.
Nothing was thought of this appel.
lation at first, though the management
is said to have not particularly relished
it. Sensitive persons, however, OBJ
jected to riding upon the train, and ii
was abandoned. The cars were sent
to the shops and painted a different
color and are still in use on the road.
The reason for the change, according
to the railroad officials, is that it was
almost impossible to keep the white
cars clean.-New York Herald.
