BERLIN, Oct. .11.-(Copyright 1896 by
the United Associated Presses 1.-The
lull in the excitement over affairs in the
East continues, the newspapers having
decided to await developments which
are expected to follow the departure of
the Car from France before resuming
their campaign of agitation. 1t is
understood that the Car will shortly
give an audience to General Grumb-
koff, the German officer in the Ottoman
service who is the bearer of an auto
graph letter from the Sultan to the
Kaiser. M. Grumbkoff is accompanied
by the Sultans ambassador, Ghalib
Bey, who will also be received by the
Kaiser. The mission of General Grumb-
koff according to the semi official Berlin
Post" is one of great political import
ance.
In the meantime an interview with
General Grumbkoff appears in a Berlin
paper in which the Turkish Commits
siOner vigorously defends the action of
the Sultan and the leading Turkish Of
ficials, contending that no man occupy
ing the Turkish throne would fulfill the
demands of the Powers unconditionally.
The Sultan of Turkey, he maintains,
must always take into consideration the
probable effect of the fulfllment of such
demands upon the Mahommedan popu-
lace, otherwise there would be great
danger of Moslem fanaticism, leading to
annihilation of the Christians in the
empire.
abdul Hamid,'' the General says, 'is
wise man and In all his actions he in
variably looks carefully forward to the
probable or possible result If the Sui
rTN,,
key would be a happy country, but his
most excellent aspirations are fettered
by empty public Golfers. The true need
of Turkey is financial assistance"
The pro-Armenian movement in Ger
many is making little progress. AL
though the official wet blanket which
has been cast over the movement wher-
ever it has existed has not had the eff
feet to quench the flame of agitation al
together, the movement itself has not
been seized with any degree of ardor by
the public. Doctor Pepsius, the leader Of
the Armenian agitation, has been sum-
moned to the Foreign Office and re-
quested to desist from further activity
in the matter, he being informed, it is
understood, that as the movement was a
strongly political sand in no respect a
philanthropic one, the Government
could not countenance it.
The Hamburg "Nachrichten," the per-
sonal organ Of Prince Bismarck, in its
discussion Of the Armenian question,
argues that the Armenians are rebels,
while Germany and Turkey have the
most friendly relations. Therefore, the
German aiders and abettors of the Arm
enians are liable to punishment under
the German criminal code.

MET IN MILWAUKEE.
National Convention of Republican
rrh
ute.

National Convention of Republican
League Clubs.
The convention of the National League
of Republican Clubs met in Exposition
Hall, Milwaukee. The attendance of del
egates at the opening session was not so
large as expected, but more came in dur
ing the day and evening. There was also
a slight feeling of disappointment at the
absence of certain speakers of national
reputation, whom the National Committee
had declined to send, on the ground that
they were needed elsewhere. Ex-senator
Ingalls, of Kansas was asked to deliver
an address, but could not attend, nor was
Senator Allison able to be present. The
big hall in the Exposition Building was
handsomely decorated with the national
colors. The background was yellow,
while peering out from among the flags
were large designs of twenty-dollar gold
pieces. There were only few spectators
in the galleries. The delegates were slow
in arriving, and it was an hour after the
appointed time when they began to take
their seats.
Gen. E. 4. McAlpin, president of the
National League, called the convention
to order, and Rev. w. A. Huntsberger in
voked the divine blessing upon the as
semblage. President McAlpin presented
Mayor Ranscheuberger, who, in behalf
Of the city, welcomed the visiting dele
gates. Mayor Ranscheuberger said it
was with pleasure that, as chief executive
Of the city, he extended a cordial welcome
to Milwaukee. He extended the freedom
Of the city, and said that he had the latch
key with him. He paid high compliment
to the large delegations present, and said
that the organization showed that there
was great activity all along the line.
When he finished the delegates cheered
him and gave rousing cheer for the city
of Milwaukee. s. A. Harper, of Madison,
Wis, president of the Wisconsin State
League, welcomed the delegates on behalf
Of the Wisconsin Republicans. Irving NJ.
Bean, chairman of the Milwaukee Recep-
ton Committee, responded on behalf of

The Sultan Said to Have Given His
Permission for Warsbip to Pass

Warship to Turkey.

CHICAGO: A Washington special TO the
Herald says: In ten days United
States war ship will be on the way to
Turkey. Notwithstanding the existence
of the treaty of Paris which prevents war
vessels from entering the Dardanelles,
Minister Terrell has cabled the State de-
partment that if war ship is sent he
will see that itpasses into the Sea OF Mar
mora. This result is entirely IN accord
with the developments at the State and
Navy Departments, which indicated that
the little cruiser Bancroft was about to
start for Turkey. Ii Minister Terrell ac-
complishes what he promises he will have
proved himself a great diplomat. Up to
this time the Sultan has steadfaStiy re-
fused to permit any vessel flying the
United States flag to pass into the barbor
OF Constantinople, but Minister Terrell
has oabled TO the department to send on
the warship and he will do the rest. 1t is
expected, therefore, that before the Ban
croft reaches the Mediterranean the min
lister will have secured permission for it
toipass the Dardanelles and anchor along
side the city Of the Sultan.

paratus and flee for their lives. Blazing
shingles and frebrands were carried hun
dreds of feet high by the irresistible cur
rent of hot air, to fall quarter and half
mile farther on and fire the buildings that
they alighted upon. The people fled in all
directions, and families were divided. BY
o'clock the destruction of the village
was complete, and not a soul remained in
the town proper. Prior to abandoning his
post at the railway depot the operator had
sent out an appeal for aid. The relief
train managed to get within about mile
of the doomed village. The train picked
up all the people found beside the track
and took them to Rockland, where they
were made as comfortable for the night
as the limited accommodations of the ham
let would permit.
AS soon as daylight came the train
crew of the st. Paul Railway, aided by
citizens, loaded into a box car all the
clothing and provisions that could be col
lected and set out for Ontonagon.
The work of relief was begun imme-
diately. Word was received by the rail-
way officials at Houghton that cars Of
supplies including tents and lumber for
temporary sheds were already on the way
from Marinette, Green Bay, Iron Noun
tain and places farther south.
There is little hope that the town will
ever recover from the blow. The timber

and the Diamond Match Companycan save
thousands Of dollars by building it's mills
closer to it's untouched forests. The COP

abandoned years ago, the match COM

The village will, of course, be rebuilt,
but there is little likelihood of it's being

known that many families who had ac-
cumulated wealth in former years re-
