Demands Indemnity.

CoNsTANr1NopLE, Dec. 1.-The U.
s. minister to Turkey, James B. An
CELL, has renewed the demand of the
United States for an indemnity from
the Turkish government for the pillage
Of the American missions at Kharput,
Alarash and Hatkongj, in Armenia.
The port denies any responsibility for
the pillaging on the ground that the
government acted under the stress of
unavoidable circumstances.

Mr.. WILLARp.--A letter from WASH
ington says: Persons from Fairfax
county say if Delegate Willard enters
the contest for the democratic nomina-
ton for Congress from the Eighth dis
trict next fall, the contest will be a
lively one. 1t is understood that Con-
gresham Rixey, who has proved very
popular and acceptable Congressman,
will be candidate for denomination.
Mr.. Willard is very popular, and be,
sides is young maa full of energy and
life. He is forcible speaker, and has
won many laurels in various State
campaigns. He is said to be a mill
lionaire, but that does not hurt him in
the estimation of the people of his dis
trict. He is believer in the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver, and stands
sGuarely on the Chicago platform. It
is not known whether Mr.. Willard viii
enter the race Tor Congress or not, but
his friends who have been seen; rather
incline to the opinion that he viii and
that the contest between himself and
Mr.. Rixey will be close one.

vile, N. Y, in the Catskill Mountains,
were overcome by coal gas on Sunday
afternoon and several members of the
congregation were nearly asphy1iated.
A defective fue in the furnace in the
church basement allowed the coal gas
to escape gradually into the church.
No one noticed it and the congregation
became drowsy. During the closing
prayer Miss Lucy Kemp was overcome
and fell to the floor. A moment later
Miss Lamoreau became unconscious
and others soon followed. The pastor
stopped his prayer short and asked the
congregation to leave. The persons
overcome were carried out into the
fresh air, where they revived.

THE TAVERN OF CASTLE CRAC


The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
In the heart of the Sierras, almost at
the foot of Mount Shasta, and amid
the most picturesque mountain scenery
accessible to the tourist. The eligibil-
| ity of the place selected was due to a
rare combination of flowing water, in
| spring mountain scenery and inviting
forests.
The Tavern of Castle Crag, with its
| splendid environment, it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek
sumemr resort for health, recreation,
outdoor sports. sympathy with nature
and informal sociability. To empha-
size this intention and signify the kind
| OF invitation extended, the name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
| To avoid all implication of sumptuous
accommodations or the tyranny of So
cial Journalism, and to realize this orig
inal conception, the management has
decided to make the Tavern of Castle
Crag distinctively family resort; and
especially attractive to those to whom
health, recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations.
10 this end rooms on the first and Sec
ond floors of this splendid taxern with
|
rate of $65 person; and rooms on the
third floor with board at a monthly
rate of $50 a person.
| The accommodations of the Tavern
are first class in every particular. It's
parlors and halls are elegant and spac-
ious. Its verandas are cool and invit-
ing, placing the guest always in the
presence of the most attractive noun
tain scenery to be enjoyed from the
| balcony of any tavern in the world
| The opportunity for outdoor sports
embraces hunting, fishing, riding BIZ
| cycling, walking on mountain paths
and driving on picturesque roads. The
Tavern is located Immediately on the
main trunk line of the California &c
Oregon Railroad, and is fourteen hours
ride from San Francisco, twelve hours
| from Stockton, ten hours from Sacra-
mento, thirty hours from Los Angeles
and twenty-three hours from Portland.
The Tavern of Castle Crag is reached
from San Francisco and Sacramento
without loss of time The train leaves
San Francisco at s o'clock D. M. arriv-
| ing early the following morning for
| breakfast, which is always ready upon
the arrival of the train. Returning. the
! train time affords equal accommoda-
tion Thus both in going and in com
ing the comforts of the passenger and
the economy Of his time have been
studied. In brief, the Tavern of Castle
Crag realizes to its guests the perfect
| ideal of that spring time in the high al
titudes of the Sierras which never be-
comes high summer, and is the COM
| Portable home of pleasing recreation
and restful repose.

merely to limit the bounty goods car
rted in American ships.
The Utah Senator could, Mr.. Perkins
said, either accept or reject the amend
ment as whole.
Mr. Cannon declined to accept the
amendment and Mr.. Perkins thereupon
withdrew it.
After some running debate a vote was
taken on the Cannon amendment, pro-
viding an export bounty for agricult-
ural products, and it was defeated
yeas TO- nays 50. The affirmative vote
was given by Allen, Butler Stewart,
Harris of Kansas, Heitfeld (Pop), Can
non, Mantle, Pettigrew (Silver Rep),
Roach and Tillman (Dem.).
Pettigrew of South Dakota gave no
tice that he would offer his amendment
to admit free of duty. goods made by
trusts in connection with the schedule.
Allison asked that the proviso relating
TO the Hawaiian Islands go over. He
said in this connection that the action
of the Senate committee relative to the
Hawaiian provisional proposition was
due to purpose to exclude Hawaiian
sugar. The committee had never con-
sidered the question, and asked to have
il go over for future consideration. Later
he thought a proposition on that branch
of the subject would be presented.
Allison, in behalf of the committee,
then moved an amendment striking out
S75-1000 and inserting 9o-1O0 as the
duty on refined sugars.
Jones of Arkansas was recognized for
a speech on the general features of the
sugar schedule The Senator had be-
fore him small bottles, showing the va
rious grades of sugar, raw and rehned,
and with these illustrated his argu-
ments as he proceeded He asserted
that the new sugar proposition would
increase the profits of the sugar refin-
ers in every point. If that was the pur-
pose of the managers of the bill they
should let it be known. He was IN
favor of a tax on sugar but he believed
it should be made as light as possible,
and should give no special benefit to
anybody.
Early in his remarks Jones referred
to the unfairness of Aldrich's statement
on the sugar schedule, in speaking OF
the difficulty between German sugar
and the raw sugar coming to this coun-
try. The comparison was not fair
one. Jones contended, as the German
sugars could not be compared to the
American. When figuring on the
