CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-By rare presence

saved his congregation from panic
and probably the awful results of fire,
which broke out just as the morning
service was beginning at the Third Uni
tartan church Sunday and which de-
stroyed the main part Of the building.
When the pastor took his place in the
pulpit his attention was drawn to smoke
in the lobby leading to the Sunday
school He remained standing until
the organist had ceased playing and
then requested the congregation to re-
tire quietly by the rear exits His man
ner SO treasured those assembled that a
panic was averted. The church was al
most entirely destroyed. The loss is
placed at 825, 900.

THE CRISIS is COMING
Turkey Is Again In Turmoil
Over a New Trade.
DBMAND FOR MORE TAXES MADE.

The Ambassadors Of the Powers send
the Porte Collective Note, Pointing
Out the bad Influence the Demand
VIII Have-rhat omciaI Gives an
Evaslve Reply
CoNsrANTINopLE, Oct. 27.-rCopy-
righted, 1896, by the Associated Press.
The report that trouble of serious
nature is brewing here has so often been
sent out that any fresh announcement
to that effect is looked upon as having
little or no foundation in fact. but in
spite of this it is but right to state once
more that everything points to further
and serious trouble preparing on all
sides throughout the Turkish empire.
The ball was set rolling on Wednesday
last, when the sultan signed two trades,
which were issued next day, levying a
polltax of piastres per head on all
Mussulmans and increasing the taxes
on sheep, pubhcworks and education by
l to l1a per cent, the funds SO raised to
be deposited for military purposes.
This caused the representatives Of the
powers to send collective note to the
porte, eouehed in the strongest Ian
guage, calling attention to the danger
that arming Mussulmans is certain to
create, and pointing out generally the
critical situation of affairs in the Turk
ish empire. Large purchases of arms
have already been made and the danger
increases hourly.
The porte today sent reply to the
collective note of the ambassadors.
As usual however, it is an evasive an
swer and in substance simply stated
that the money derived from additional
taxes is only intended to complete ths
armament of the mustahfuse, third and
last class Turkish army reserves, and to
strengthen the armament of other land
forces of the sultan.
The action Of the Turkish govern
ment in completing the armament of
the mustahfuse indicates the empire
facing the situation, which may nesessi-
tate the calling forth all of the military
forces at its disposal, and also indicates
the situation is the gravest since the
Russo Turkish war Under these cir
eumstances it is but natural that con-
siderable uneasiness should prevail.
Happily, there is one feature of the
crisis which has soothing influence
upon Abdul Hanid This is the fnanoi-
al situation. It is about as bad as it
possibly can be- All negotiations upon
the part of the Turkish government for
temporary loan have failed, and the
condition of the treasury is one Of utter
helpIessness. On top of this the price
of bread has risen 40 per cent, and bids
fair to rise still higher as the price of
wheat goes up.
The police continue making arrests,
and it is understood many more bombs
have been found.

At noon Saturday while Alpbonso,

on the rings in the gymnasium at
the Merrill Institute, he had the
misfortune to fall to the floor, which
resulted in dislocating his wrist.
The little fellow bore his suffering
heroically, and had presence Of
mind enough to push the dislocated
joint back into position. His
wounds were promptly dressed by
Drs. Withers and Pendleton, and
last night he was resting as easily
as possible under the circumstances.

New YeRK. Oct. 97.-Fhe British
steamer Worsley Hall, Captain Gamer.
on, put into port here early yesterday
with her cargo on fire. She was bound
from New Orleans for Havre, and left
the former port Oct. is. On the morn
ing of Oct %, when the steamer was
$50 miles east by south of Sandy Hook
during strong southerly gale smoke
was seen issuing from the ventillators
under her bridge, and an examination
showed that cotton slowed in her for
ward hold, and which constituted n
portion of her cargo, was on fire. Means
were at once taken to extinguish the
fire and her head pointed to New York.
When the Worsley Hall arrived at
Quarantine all hands were worn ont
with work and anxiety. 1t may be nee
essary to scuttle the ship to put out the
fire. At the present time Morley Hall
is anchored off Clifton, Staten Island.
