Marseilles, France. Sept. 29.-There is

and to the Armenian associations gem
orally throughout the woriu.
Subsisting upon government, munich

sick, who have succeeded in escaping
from the bloody massacre at CONSTANT

elapsed and nothing definite appears to
have been done for their relief. much
less toward finding them homes, by any

ganized in England or America. Only
about eighteen of the 500 Armenians
who reached here have as yet been
able to start for the United States.
These few emigrants are of the better
class Of Armenians.

BRYAN IN NEW YORK.
Curious People Block the Way but
Rain Dispels the Crowd.

New York. Sept 2s.-whether It may
be set down to the enthusiasm Of the
candidate. or to the natural curiosity
that predominates in the American pub
lie, II is nevertheless a fact that the
demonstration that greeted W. J. Bryan
today in this city was most remarkable
In its character. Blockaded streets, a
crowded Auditorium. besieged speaking
stands and crowds that defed the ener-
gy Of the police in their stability, were
some Of the features. Tammany Hall,
that had made arrangements for the
welcome and reception. outdid itself in
its doings. Tammany is noted for en-
thusiastic assemblages and tonight
within the big Assembly Hall the mem
bers tore the air with shouts and ap-
proval Of the candidates, Of the Ameri-
can flag. and Of every comment that
sayOred either OF patriotism, or loyalty
to the Democratic principles. Every
man who entered was presented with
a flag. the result being that when any
thing pleased the audience the crowded
hall seemed one huge wave Of stars
and stripes. So, too, Tammany is cos
mopolitan, and on several stands there
waved, with the predomInating Star
spangled Banner, the flags Of Italy,
Ireland. Germany, and the Union Jack
Of England.
The police. who escorted Bryan
through the lines, had to fight like IT,
gers, the people refusing to move even
when horses almost trampled upon
them. Soon after Bryan entered Tam
many Hall driving rain storm started
and it was not long before at least half
the crowd had sought other nunrters

Seattle, Sept. 29.-The steamer Una
tllla struck a submerged rock near
where the bark David Headley was
wrecked some years ago. lost sixteen
feet Of her keel, and tore a ragged hole
in her bottom, through which the water
poured in torrents. The passengers had
a narrow escape from being compelled
70 embark in the small boats.
The Umatilla left Victoria shortly af
ter midnight IN charge Of Capt, II. II.
Lloyd, a pilot Of twenty years expe-
rience. and Capt J. c. Hunter, the ships
commander The weather was densely
foggy, and against a strong ebb tide
the steamer headed for Port Townsend.
She had landed over half OF her pas
sengers and a large portion Of her
freight at Victoria. At intervals the
whistle was regularly sounded. but the
course from Victoria does not bring the
ship near any headlands. consequently
only very dim echo could be heard.
The ebb tide sweeping down on the port
beam OF the steamship. swung her a
point OF two on her course. heading the
vessel directly toward the wrecked
bark Hoadley, three-fourths Of a mile
west OF Port Wilson. That was in the
proximity OF q very low neck OF land
which lies behind an abrupt bluff that
commands Point Wilson.
The sounding OF the whistle brought
back no echo. From the top OF Nor
gan's hill. the background OF Port
Townsend. through the thin mist over
hanging the dense bank Of black fog,
could be discerned the brightness Of the
electric lights. To add to the unfortu-
nate condition Of affairs, 1t is alleged
that the fog whistle on Point Wilson
was not blowing. Many masters Of YES
sells coming into port lately have made
similar complaint, and at times other
captains have averred that the whistle
was blowing regularly.
A special from Port Townsend TO the
Post-lntelligencer says that late this
evening Pilot Lloyd came ashore and
denied that the vessel struck Libby
rock He says she first struck on an
extension Of the rocky submerged pc
ninsula inside the buoy. She began to
ill and the engines were reversed which
carried her OF shore. She was headed
for Port Townsend, when 1t became ap-
parent she could not reach port and then
it was decided to beach her Captain
Hunter is staying by the ship. The
passengers We're all landed safely as
well as the baggage and perishable
freight.
