REFORMS PROMISED. zsza
The Sultan Again Tells What He Pro-
poses to Do-This Time Everything Is
To Be Made Serene.

Paris November 7.-Advices received
from Constantincple are that when the
Sultan received the report of the speech
delivered by M. Hanataux in the Cham
Der of Deputies he sent one of his secre-
taries to NJ. Camlbef, the French ambassa-
dor, who impressed upon the secretary
the urgency that existed for the Sultan
to adopt measures that would reassure
public opinion and satisfy EUROPE. The
Turkish am bassador III Paris has now in
formed NJ. Honataux that the Sultan has
decided upon carrying out the following
reform: The release of prisoners through
out the Empire against whom no charges
are preferred; to instruct the police that
peaceable Armenians are not to be mo-
lestad; to dismiss tine Vail of Diar beklr
for the share he took in the disorders
there; to precisely instruct the wallis to ie-
presa violence, to undertake the indenti-
hoation OF Roman Catholic converts in
Anato which were damaged during the
outbreaks: to assist the inhabitants of
the districts which suffered most and to
publish shortly a decree ordering the
prompt execution In Anatoda of the re-
forms granted in 1896 and the extension
of these reforms to the whole empire.
M. HonRtRuX thanked the ambassador
for the Information and told him he had
precisely instructed Mr.. Camblef to
watch the application of these prelini-
nary measures.

A SERIOUS CHARGE
HaM
Which Officer Sylvester Indignantly
Denies.

Saturday forenoon Police Officer Syl-
year old son of James Curtie, who lives
on Monument street, had been assaulfing
smaller boys with whom he was at play.
The officer went to the boys home to see
the youngster. 1t was shortly after this
that Mrs. Curtis and her son and the
officer appeared In the office of Marshal
Tricky. Mrs. Curtis was greatly ex-
cited and declared that the officer had
broken her arm. The marshal called in
DR.. Pitcher, in the absence of the city
physician, and 10 was found that the
woman had received a fracture of one
of the bones of the wrist The fracture
is not a severe one. Mrs. Curtis was
cared for by the physician and sent
home.
Officer Sylvester denies that he was in
any way responsi bic for the woman's in
jury. He told the marshal that he went
to the house to investigate the complaint
which had been made to him. He was
talking to the boy and his mother when
young Curtis started to go down stairs.
BE had descended several steps when his
mother apparently tried to stop him. The
pair tripped and fell. Sylvester tried to
stop them and fell but he says he did not
-touoh either Of them. The boys with
whom young Curtis WAS playing allege
that he beat them over the head with the
ball they were using. Curtis was ar

Miles Around.

The Boston Bridge Company Heavy
Loser-Heavy Explosion Attracts a
Great Crowd.
Boston, November 1.-THE large four
story works of the Boston Bridge Com
pany on Sixth street, Cam bridgeport,
were totally burned tonight, causing
blaze that lighted up the sky for miles
around: Shortly after the fire started
number OF terrific explosions occurred,
greatly alarming the thousands of people
who had been attracted by the fire and
who feared the boilers were exploding.
The explosions were. caused by oil used
for heating rivets and other parts of the
iron, and the burning oil scattered the
flames to every portion of the building.
The oil works of Alden Speare and the
Standard Oil Works, near at hand were
In Imminent danger at one time. D. II.
Andrews of Newton, owner of the bridge
works. places the loss at about $3.50, O00
OF which S35, 900 is on the building and
Sls5, 900 on the machinery, with total
insurance Of $125, 90. The cause of the fire
is unknown. About 175 men were en-
ployed making iron work for the subway
and bridges for railroads. The works
will be rebuilt Immediately.

SCORES CARLISLE.
MIR. Flemming's Letters to the Secretary
ofthe Treasury.

Washington, November Judge W.
B. Fleming, who WAS removed from his
position as chief of the law and record
division of the Supervising Architect q
Office of the treasury department on We'd
nesday last, today sent q letter to Seore-
tary Carlisle in which he says: "Sir-
Our government guarantees to all Its
citizens the privilege of free speech, SO
that every American has the national
right to express i'll proper manner his
political opinions. In accepting offiue
the citizen forfeits neither his civil nor
his religious liberty. The civil services
law WIS intended not to destroy these,
but protect them, SO that O minor official
should at least be secured in defending
the nominees of his party as would he
cabinet officer in exercising the same
inalienable right No objection to my
activity i'll the eampai N which has
just closed was ever made known to me
pending the campaign. On the contrary
was informed that you held to the
any man from office or exercising the
same rights which you yourself were
exercising. My removal from office, the
first intimetion of which was obtained
from the newspapers while going into
the train on my return from my home,
was therefore a surprise to me. No one
knows better than yourself the long
friendship had manifested for you, the
interest l had taken and the sacrifices
of time and money made by me in pro-
noting your ambitions. In view of all
the facts, it seems to me that ] was at
least entitled to some notice before be-
ing kickea out of Office without even an
opportunity of declining to resign. Had
l known or suspected | could not hold
Office under this administration and at
the same time exercise the rights of an
American freeman. l would have
promptly rendered my resignation at
the opening of this campaign. mas
much as the appointes Of the present
Administrations, including many in your
department., have been permitted to take
an active part against Bryan in the
| campaign, not only on the stump, but
in the work of organization without
rebuke or removal it is evident that
the cause of my offending lies not in
my action, but in my convictions.
In conclusion, l can only say that,
bumbl as / am, l would rather be dis
charged employee of the treasury depart
ment, discharged for doing my duty as
| see it for my people, than to be secre-
tary of the treasury with record of self
qualifications such as you have made fol
yourself staring me in the face. This
much of a protest I deem it proper tc
make against your treacher0us and
tyranous action.

ALlVELY RUNAWAY


There was narrow escane
Saturday from what looked for
moment like very serious
if not fatal accident. About 8 o'olook a
man, much the worse for LIQUOR and
driving good looking horse attached 20
a very handsome phaeton came tearing
down Congress street headed for Munioy
hill. People scattered in all directions
to avoid the galloping horse and his or
ratio driver and the onlookors expeoted
every moment to see the young man
dashed to pieces against telegraph pole.
The horse managed to keep clear of every
thing till Lincoln Park was reached
Here was large jigger going in the oppo-
site direction. The horse cleared it. The
carriage did not. When the pheaton
went by it left two wheels a tribute to
the superiority of the jigger's copstruo-
ton. On went the horse with his driver
strangely enough still hanging to the
reins. he hung on till opposite George
G. Frye's. Here some men stopped the
horse and the driver was detached from
the reins and harness. With the strange
luck that seems proverbiaI with inc
briated individuals he was apparently
little Tho worse for his trip on his
stomach over the paving stones of Con-
Rress street and apparently not much
sobered.
