FEARS HIS OWN SOLDIERS.
Sultan Disarms His Palace Guar6
and Substitutes Four New
RattalionS.

Constantinople Sept. 16.-Owing to
the Turkish governments communication
to the embassies of the powers in regard
to rumors Of another Armenian outbreak,
the embassies here today deputed the
foreign consuls to authorize the police to
enter foreign houses when necessary and
arrest Armenians having bombs or shoot
ing therefrom.
The offer of the Turkish government
to furnish the embassies with guards
has been declined, the foreign officials
preferring to rely upon the guards OF
bluejackets from the Warships of the
powers.
Since the issuing of the Hynchakist
circular, 5000 Armenians have been ar
rested and the exodus of Armenians con-
tinues.
The Turkish officials declare that they
have discovered a quantity of bombs
and dynamite in the Halidjisglou quar-
ter.
1t is feared in high quarters that
Mussulman movement is afoot against
the Sultan and military measures on an
extensive scale have been adopted.
Berlin, Sept. 16.-A dipatch to the
Frankfort Zeitung from Constantinople
published today says that the guard OF
the Turkish troops on duty at Ylldlz
palace, composed of four battalions OF
Albanians, was forcibly disarmed last
evening in the presence of large body
of troops and was replaced by five Seras-
kier battalOns

SULLIVAN NOT ARRESTED.
Leader Returning to
America.

Paris, Sept. 16.-There is no truth in
the report that Alexander Sullivan of
Chicago, the Irish leader, has been ar
rested here.
Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 16.-A report was
in circulation here last night that Alex
ander Sullivan, whose name figured in
the Crown trial, had been arrested III
Paris at the instance of the English po-
lice. Color was given the rnmor by the
simultaneous announcement of the pros
tration of Margaret f. Sullivan, wife
of Alexander, it being assumed that her
illness was brought on by distressing
news from abroad regarding her hus-
band. The facts in the case seem to
be that Mr. Sullivan. who has been at
Carlsbad for his health, is now on the
steamer Lain bound for America.
Mrs. Sullivan, who is one of the best
newspaper women III the country, was
stricken with apoplexy Sunday and the
doctors also found that paralysis had
also rendered her left side helpless.
While her condition is very serious, it is
not believed that she is in any immediate
danger.
The condition of Mrs. Sullivan was re-
ported as being slightly better at noon
today. For some time after her stroke
she was able to recognize her friends
and speak to them, though still very
weak. Doctors attending her say they
now have hopes of her ultimate recovery.
Mrs. Sullivan, whose maiden name
was Margaret Frances Buchanan, was
born in 1S49 in County Tyrone, Ireland,
and came to this country and settled in
Detroit when only years old. She
was educated in the public schools and
the Sacred Heart convent of that city.
She came to Chicago when 16 years old,
and has been engaged in newspaper
work of one kind or another ever since
1t is said that her first application for
newspaper employment was at the office
of the old Times, when an editorial
writer to whom she applied glanced at
her pityingly. and asked her what she
could do. She said she could write any
thing he wanted. and he attempted to
disconcert her by asking her to write
something about the tariff She as
scented, and sat down where she was,
and after two hours she handed him an
article which appeared as the leading
editorial in the paper of the next day.
From that time she was able to COM
mand any salary from the Times she de-
manded.
Mrs. Sullivan was employed at one
time on the Post, and at another time
on the Tribune, and has worked for al
most every newspaper in the city. Her
versatility was remarkable. She wrote
equally we'll on music, on art, Oh liter
allure and on politics, and when there
was an emergency would produce FIVE
columns a day. She did some transla-
ton, and was once a joint author with
others in a book of travels in Mexico,
but she seldom departed from her chOs-
en- line of journalistic work.

MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
Decision at Washington that Duluth
is the Terminus of the
Northern Pacific.

Washington, D. g., Sept. 16.-[spe-
cial. Secretary Smiths decision that
Duluth is the terminus of the Northern
Pacific railroad instead of Ashland has
raised a most interesting question. All
the settlers upon this lands paid double
the minimum price because it was within
a railroad grant.
According to Secretary Smith the land
between these points is not a railroad
grant and the settlers claim that they
are entitled to a return of $1.25 on each
acre of land purchased. A number of
patents have also been issued to the
railroad for indemnity lands, and it is
probable that the secretary will request
the department of justice to bring suit
to restore these lands to the govern
ment.
The general opinion among attorneys
here is that such a suit would determine
that Ashland and not Duluth is the ter
minus of the Northern Pacific, thus re-
versing the decision of Secretary Smith.

ELECTION IN MAINE.
Republicans Garry the state by
Nearly O,OOO-Largest Plu-
rality Ever Given.


Augusta, Me-, Sept. 15.-With over
100 towns to be heard from the Re
publican plurality in Maine figures up
46,425 and will probably be $4,000 when
all of the towns are in. The returns
are complete from towns, cities and
plantations in the state and from ten of
the counties. The 41S towns heard from
give Powers Rep.), 7S,94O; Frank
DEM, 32,515; Ladd (Pro.), 2746; Bate
man (People's), 1871; w. II. Clifford
(NationaD, $40.
Over $4,000 Republican votes, it is es-
timated, were thrown, and about $4,000
Democratic. The Republican vote has
exceeded anything ever before known In
Maine, the nearest approach to it being
79,4O1, received by Gov. Burleigh in
1883.
In every county in the state the Repub-
lican ticket was successful, and almost
every town showed a Republican gain.
cent. less than in 1892; about 20 per
cent. Of this has gone to the Republican
ticket and the stay-at-hOmeS are re-
sponsible for the other half.
The vote of the Populists and Prohi-
bitionists throughout the state shows a
loss from 1892 of about 26 per cent.
In Congressional Districts.
In the First Congressional district
Reeds plurality is 1886; Dingley about
1900 plurality in the Second district
and Milliken nearer 10000 in the Third.
There are more missing towns in the
Fourth district than in any other, but
from the figures at hand it is estimated
that Boutelles plurality will be almost
$4,000.
In the representative districts heard
from the election of but five Democrats
in the House is shown and in one of
these there is doubt. All of the thirty
one senators are Republicans.
The complete returns from Cumber-
land county gives Powers (Rep.), 1O,9lS;
Frank Dem.), 51O7; Republican plurali-
ty, 5S11. In 1892 this county gave
the Republican ticket 1887; Democratic,
1888; Republican gain in plurality, 1872
Twenty-six out of tWenty-nine towns
in Aroostock county give Powers 1905
and Frank 1897. The vote for Boutelle
and Chase for Congress is about the
same. On the basis of the vote in the
missing towns four years ago the Re-
publican plurality in the county is esti-
mated at $500.
Portland, Me-, Sept. 16.-Complete re-
turns from ten Of the sixteen counties in
this state give Powers (Rep) for govern
or 53,712 votes and Frank Dem.) 3d.
Oh These figures bear out the esti-
mate heretofore made that the Repub-
lican plurality will be not far either way
from $4,000.
