literary bent, and his reading, omniv-

wide range of subjects and into many
little-frequented byways of literature.

his encouragement and industry, its
success was assured, and he was re-

magazines the stories and verses
through which his permanent reputa-

loyalty to Puck never faltered. He
worked constantly to make it some
thing more than merely humorous

Ihe Sultan Given Warning by tho

Constantinople, Nov. 2.--Since the
visit Of the Russian ambassador, M.
Denelidoff, to the sultan and the i'm
portant audience which followed, it is
noticeable that there has been another
change for the better in the attitude Of
Abdul Hamid and his advisers toward
the Armenians in particular and the
reform party in general.
1t is known that Denelidoff used very
plain language, and the sultan was con-
vinced that the Russian ambassador
was in earnest. This, supplemented by
grave reports received by the sultan
from the Turkish embassies in London
and Paris, pointing out the distrust
and irritation caused by the attitude
of the Turkish officials, has brought
about eager professions upon the part
Of the Turkish government of desire
to earnestly push the reforms as COM
menced.
Five Christian deputy governors have
been appointed in Armenia 1t is prob

Reduction In Freight Rates on all

Portland, Or, Nov. "A new
schedule Of reduced freight rates will
go into effect on all the transcontinent-
al lines, November Q, placing North
Pacific coast points on the same basis
as San Francisco.
The new rates will apply to all points
in the Central Traffic Associations 9
territory, and from there west to the
Pacific coast. The difference in San
Francisco, and Portland and Sound
rates, on general commodities, amounts
to about cents per 100 pounds, in ia
vor Of San Francisco. This will be
equslized by the new tariff, which will
lower North Pacific rates to correspond
with those applying to San Francisco.
Notice Of the proposed reduction was
telegraphed yesterday from ST. Paul
and the foregoing meagre particulars
were given out last night by J. v.
Creighton, chief clerk Of the Portland
general freight Office Of the Northern
Pacific railroad. This reduction will
be of great Importance to Northwestern
