LONDON, Sept. 16.-The STANDARD pub
fishes a dispatch from Constantinople
saying that the Young Turk party is Gov
ering the city with plaoards inoiting the
people to dethrone the sultan.
Serious trouble, 1t is added, is certain
to OCCUR within a week. Old Turkish
troopships are nightly deportlng Arme-
mans to the Black sea, where, IL is be-
lieved, they are drowned.
The British residents, at the instance
Of the British embassy, have telegraphed
to Lord Salisbury, saying that their lives
and property are In danger. The French
residents have taken similar action. Brit
ish and French fleets are now near the
mouth of the Dardanelles
Fuad Pasha, one Of the sultan's aid-de-
camps, was questioned as to how long the
forts along the Dardanelles could check
the passage Of the warships, and he re-
piled that they could stop them for almost
half an hour.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. I6.-Maine has

clared for the Republican ticket by the
largest majority In her history. According
TO the latest returns, the plurality for Pow

Dingiey In the Second district, over IL. 600

In the state legislature the Democrats
will apparently have less than half q doz-
en- OF the Representatives In the house and
not ono IN the senate.
As was anticipated. the Republicans
polled q tremendous vote and secured
many Democratic ballots On the other
hand, many disaifeoted Democrats remain
cd at home, and only few voted for the
nominee OF the gold standard wing The
Populists and Prohibitionist votes have
been received from only q few towns, but
it Is evident that neither party polled as
large vote as two years ago.
The successful candidate for governor Is
the Hon. Llewellyn Powers OF Houlton

New ORLEANS, Sept. 14.-There is only
one more secret to come out In the wreck
ing Of the Union National bank and the
bank panic which ragged here last week,
and it is announced that 1t will be disclos-
ed within the next "a hours. That is the
names of the confederates, the men on the
outside who drew out and appropriated
the 5000, 900 of the banks money Colcomb
and Leone, the bookkeepers, cooked the
accounts so as to keep the bank always In
debt to these oonfederates.
The bank was robbed by syndicate
composed Of seven persons, two on the in
side Of the bank and five on the outside.
The whole transaction was buslnesslike
and systematic, including an agreement
as to the amount to be drawn out or stolen
each day and the division of the funds.
Coloomb, whose lack Of nerve was shown
by his suicide the moment suspicion
pointed to him, was the organizer Of the
project and its director. 1t is reported
that confession has been made; that
three members Of the syndicate have been
named, and that the only reason their
names are not now made public is to pre-
vent any escape, as some Of them are out
of town. The money went mainly in riot
GUS living, the balance on speculation,
with the hope Of recovering the amount
stolen

be justified unless that expenditure is neoes-
