Him a rIesSage.

CONSTANTINOPLE Aug. 30.-The
city to-day has been quiet, and no re-
ports of further disturbance have been
received 1t is Off oially announced

number of shots were fired and bombs
exploded in the Galatea quarter. Six

Yesterday the foreign diplomats, after
holding a somewhat protracted confer
cree, wired strongly worded note to
Sultan directly in the name of the
countries they represented to put stop
to the horrors which were being enacted
and to which in some instances mem
bers of the various Embassies had been
eye witnesses. The foreign representa-
tives in their note mentioned the vio-
lation and pillage Of the homes of for
eigners and the massacre of Armenians,
and warned the Sultan of the grave
consequences which would ensue if a
stop were not put to the killing and
pillage.

Il was going to church with him this
morning, and as we walked along the
quiet, shady street / took occasion to
say to him that his name was on every
tongue, and that he was known in every
land, and asked him if that fact did not
tend to exalt him in his own eyes. No
he said, if it tends to anything it makes
me more sensible of my shortcomings
and causes me to seek with greater ear
nestness than in all my life to learn the
way in which my feet should go. Never
before have l felt the need of strength

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 30.-Mexican Off
GERS have made an important capture
of horse thieves in the Cocopah Noun
tains a few miles below the boundary
line, and after an exciting experience
and a narrow escape from death at the
hands of the outlaws the prisoners have
been lodged in the Ensenada jail.
For months past horses and cattle
have been missed by rancherS and
stockmen near Campo, just north of the
boundary line, but no trace of the stock
has ever been found. The country Is
mountainous and sparsely settled and
trails leading into Lower California
were evidently not used in running of
stock. Ten days ago two stockmen at
Campo lost ten head of stock and star
ted out to search for them. They found
a trail and followed 1t for twenty miles
into a little park in the Cocopah Noun
tains Here they discovered thirty head
of horses hobbled and started to recover
their own stock when they were fired on
from ambush and forced to gallop
away.
They started back after assistance
and after riding a mile heard the cries
of a man. They followed the sound and
found an old Frenchman named Rabavo
tied to a tree among the pines. He had
been there for two days and was nearly
dead He informed the stockmen that
the MexicanS had robbed him of his
horse and bride and tied him to tree
to die. He had been unconscious for
hours before he heard the stockmen
pass and cried out
The stockmen took Rabavo with
them and proceeded to Campo where
American officers were notified. They
notified the Mexican officers at Tecarte,
below the boundary line, and with them
returned to the Cocopah Mountains,
where by strategy they succeeded in
capturing two Mexicans, one named Ru-
dolfo Gallegos, who was lately released
from San Quentin, California, and
Nacho SOrtello. Later they captured
Jim Dukes, an American member OF the
band, but they failed to capture the lea
der of the outlaws, Epifanio Gallegos,
who has for two years been refugee on
account of a murderous assault upon
Customs Inspector Conklin while the
latter was taking him to Jail. The offl-
GERS took the three prisoners and the
band of stolen horses to Ensenada.

SYRACUSE IN. ", Aug. 30.-Syra-
cuse is again the center of an assem-
blage of a large body of influential
Democrats from all sections of the
State. They are here to meet in con-
Vention tomorrow to select sixty eight
district delegates and four delegates
at-large to attend the sound money con-
VentiOn of the national Democratic
party, which meets at Indianapolis on
Wednesday next. 1t is expected that
the national convention will nominate
a second ticket for President and Vice
President to represent the views of
those Democrats who favor sound mon
ey and are unalterably opposed to w. j.
Bryan and the platform in which are
enunciated the various principles which
he says the Democratic party stands
for this year.
The convention will be under the au-
cratic Reform party. The convention,
after it elects the delegates and adopts
a platform, it is expected will adjourn
until a few days after the Democratic
State Convention at Buffalo on Sep
TENDER 10th, when this convention will
again assemble and select the Presiden-
ocrats for this State. This will give
the delegates an opportunity to ascer-
tain how the regular Democratic State
Convention will perform it's work, and
enable them to determine whether they
:acl place in the field a second Dem
ocratic State ticket for Governor, Lieu
tenant-Governor and Judge of the
Court of Appeals.
Many favor the placing of a second
State ticket in the field in case the Dem
ocratic State Convention indorSes Bryan
and the Chicago platform. Others say
that the question of State politics has
nothing to do with the national issues,
and that the work of the sound money
Democrats in the State should not be
divided. All seem to favor the post
ponement of the decision of the question
of a second State ticket until after the
Buffalo Convention. This course will
undoubtedly be followed.
The platform which is to be adopted
tomorrow will come out squarely in ia
vor of a single gold standard and will
not indorse bimetallism, even If an in
ternational agreement can be brought
about.
