WHAT purports to be reliable information
has been received at London to the effect
that a massacre of the Armenians remain
ing in Constantinople is fixed to occur in
ten days or two weeks. 1t says that Ar
menans already deported have been muir
dered by wholesale, the ships on which
they were sent out of the country having
chutes from which the victims were shot
into the water and drowned in patches.
A CYCLONE from the southwest passed
over Paris, France, last Friday, doing much
damage in the center of the city. A num-
Der of vehicles we're blown over and young
trees torn up by the roots. The windows
of the palais de justice were blown in, COM
polling a suspension of the sittings of the
courts. The rain fell in torrents. The
Paris correspondent of the London Iele-
grdph says that several persons were killed
in the storm. The roofs of the tribunal OF
commerce and the prefecture of police were
torn off,
FEARS are entertained at Constantinople
OF renewal of the recent disorders and
these apprehensions have caused panic
among the general public. The shops al
Galatea and STEAMBOAT were closed at an
early hour last Friday, owing to rumoI
that fresh manifestations were being organ
lied. Trade is almost at standstill, and
the lack of money in the Turkish treasury is
a serious feature of the situation. FifteeI
army officers, who went to the war Office
to claim their arrears of pay were informed
that there were no funds with which to pay
them. The officers thereupon resigned
their commissions and were promptly ar
rested for 80 doing.
