Sect OF the Jameson raid On Johannes

Rutherford Harris. also a director Of the
British South Africa Company. were act

London. July S-The situation In Rec
desia is looked upon here with anxiety.
The force at the disposition OF Sir Fred
erick Darlington Is regarded by military
men as quite inadequate TO cope with the
rebellion Of the Matabeies. The latest
news from Bulawayo is 20 the effect that
Sir Frederick does not propose TO again
enter the Matoppo hills, but that II Is his
intention TO surround those hills with a

Irish Land Bin to BE Passed.

London. July 2s.-The passage OF The
Irish land bin In the house of commons
seems now to be assured. While this
measure does nor completely satisfy any
one. there is a general disposition TO re-
Joiee that another step has been accom-
plsshed toward diminishing the strain in
the agrarian situation in Ireland. There
Is still considerable anxiety as to the fate
of the bill IN the house OF lords, where sf-
forts will be made by the laSilords 10 Sc
cure amendments in their own interests.
These efforts may be expected TO COM
mapd much sympathy among the peers.
but the chances are that the bill will pass
IN its present form. The events OF the last
week have demonstrated that A. j. Bal
four is a more capable pilot than he has
recently been credited with being. His
leadership in the house Of commons dur
Ing the latter days has shown that he pos
sesses tenacious grip. which has en-
sbled him TO recover much of the ground
lost by the failure of the educational bill.

led to believe that New York Is n busy

of fact, your idle class is larger In proper

which came. I have gone on excursions
from here to the seaside resorts on week

they can knock of work in tho middle Of

He came rushing into the Office,

seating himself at our desk he
reached for the writing materials.
He got lot Of paper and then
looked around. We knew at

rical company. or an advertising
agent for some patent medicine.
The latter surmise proved the
correct one.

Speaker Bldmford Fails to arrange for
Selecting Wilson's Successor.
FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. ia new
feature is added to the Senatorial middle
tonight by the failure of Speaker Blanford
to promulgate his writ for special cleo
ton to till the vacancy caused by the
death of Representative Wilson, OF Nelson
County, which occurred Friday. 1t was
stated positively last night that he had
made out his proclamation calling an cleo
ton January 81, but the Speaker said to-
night he had not had time to examine the
law and did not know when he would have
it held.
The Dem ocrats of course express great
indignation, as Mr.. Wilson's successor
cannot be named in time to vote for
Senator unless the writ is promulgated to-
morrow. AS the election of a Senator
hinges on this vote, much interest is being
taken in it. Nelson County has a normal
Democratic majority of over 800, so the
Republicans will make no special effort to
elect his successor.

One is to have each house name a large

ambassador Cambon Gives $4,000 as the
Total Number of Murders in
Anatolia.

LONDON, Eng, Jan. 12.-The Constan-
tinopIe representative of The United Press,
telegraphing under date of yesterday, says
that more complete tables of the persons
killed and property destroyed in the prov
inces of Harpoot and Diarbekir show that
176 towns and villages, containing oO5O
Armenian houses, were burned. The Ar
menians in these towns and villages num-
bered $1,000, and of these 1885 were
killed. This excludes the uncertain re-
ports of killings.
M. Cambon, the French ambassador,
estimates the total number of Armenians
killed in Anatolia at $4,000.
1t Is stated that the French Government,
through the influence of Munir Bey, the
Turkish ambassador, will agree to surren-
der to the Sultan the Turkish subjects in
France who are wanted by the Porte.
Baron Won Calico, the Austrian En- bas-
sador, and Baron Won Saurma-Jeltsch, the
German ambassador, had private audi
ences with the Sultan on Friday. The
Government is trying to force the resigna-
ton of the Armenian Patriarch, and is
compelling Armenians to sign papers ex-
pressing dissatisfaction with him.
