of delightjng all classes of society. 1t ran
for months at the fashionable Empire
theatre after its initial prodl ction, and
then during the winter was revived at
the Academy OF Music, the largest theatre
in New York, where thousands of people
were thrilled with the great stockade
scene in the third act. Perhaps the judi
'cious mingling of social incident. the
flirting and fun that are sure to happen
when soldiers and pretty girls are thrown
together, and the exciting war scenes ex-
plain this success with different classes.
But even without its pretty girls and
the brilliant ball at Camp Kennion,
there is enough fire and stir in the ire
menous stockade scene to fill many audi
ences with enthusiasm, no matter whether
it is purely fashionable one or not.

COMPETING WITH EUROPE.
American Engine Builders to Receive Quite
Number of Orders from Japan.

A statement prepared by the treasury
department shows that for the first
time in the history Of trade relations
with Japan the United States Is en-
titled to be considered as q. serious
competitor with Europe. In the supply
of machinery, rails, nails and pig iron
the United States assumed a leading
place. The British representative at
Toxic has pointed out that American
railway engine builders are likely to
receive a great number of orders dur
ing the present year. An unusual de-
mand for metals, textiles and raw ma
terials is noted. Our own official statis-
tics show that our exports to Japan
have risen from S3,2SS2S2, to $13, 233, $40
for the fiscal year just closed. This in
crease was mainly In cotton and manu-
features of cotton, manufactures of
iron and steel, including machinery,
mineral oil refined, manufactured to-
bacco, lumber and wheat -four. The
increase in our manufactures OF iron
and steel and in raw cotton Is especial
ly noticeable. During the year just
ended the value of Japanese goods
brought into the United States was
$24 ,009, ,756, a decrease of $1,500,000 com
pared with last year. OF the 113. 3.343,1
pounds of tea imported by the United
States during the fiscal year 1897, Japan
supplied 45,465,161 pounds and China
56,4S3,924 pounds. Japanese teas have
decreased one-half in price in Is years.
The import of chief value, raw silk,
was last year valued at $10,0l0,S35.

SORROW FOR JOHN P. LOWELL.
A General Expression Of Sympathy Called
Out by His Death

Seldom has there been such general
expression of sympathy over the loss
of one whose life has been devoted to
business pursuits, as has been called
forth by the recent death at Cottage
City, Mass, of that venerable land
mark of the business world, the late
John p. Lowell, founder and President
of the John Il. Lowell Arms Company
of Boston. Almost numberless mes
sages and letters of coincidence, on the
death of his honored father, have been
received by Colonel Benjamin S. Lowell
treasurer of the Lowell Arms Company.
The wide scope covered by these COM
munications is in itself evidence OF the
great regard in which he was held by
the leaders i'm BUSINESS and public life
These expressions of sympathy have
not been confined to New England, but
they have come from every prominent
business centre of the North. East
West and South-in fact, from every
portion of the Union; because the name
of John p. Lowell, and the corporation
created by him. have been for more
than a half century the synonym Of
honest dealing and business integrity.
Even from England, from firms with
whom Mr.. Lowell had enjoyed the
pleasantest business relations for more
than fifty years, Colonel Lowell has re-
ceived messages of sympathy.

REIGN OF TERROR.
Invaders Seize Bank and Gendarmes are
Shot Down in the Attack

Having suffered innumerable injur-
les and injustices at the hands of the
Turks. the Armenians have at last
undertaken to assert themselves. A
dispatch to the New York World
states that the widest excitement
reigned In Constantinople Wednesday,
and that the people were panic -strick-
en- over a series of bomb explosions
and an Invasion of the Imperial Otto
man Bank. Many were killed and
many others injured.
The explosions are attributed to the
Armenians. A bomb was thrown just
outside the police headquarters In the
Pera district. 1t failed to explode. AL
most at the same moment an Armen-
ian. whose name, Il Is believed, is Gar
avebet, was arrested at the Imperial
ottoman Bank I'm the Galata district.
He was carrying package of explos-
ives, which he was trying to ignite.
A second bomb was exploded In n
private road between the Office of the
Grand Vizier and the state Council
House. one man was killed and sew
eral others were severely injured. The
Armenian who was arrested ut the I'M
pcrial Ottoman Bank was trying, Ii Is
reported, to place the bundle of eX-
ploslves near one of the main entranc--
es. The crowd who saw him delivered
by the bank officials to the police would
have made short work of him IL they
had not prevented.
Then the riot became general Shops
were sacked, baZaars looted and the
widest excitement prevailed. The
movement, which was revolutionary.
was started by the Huintchadists, 81
secret society of Armenians.
There were riots In the Galata quar-
ter, and the Turks killed many Ar
menians. The street between Dolma-
begtche and Tophanes resembled a field
of battle. Fifty bodies were counted
there. Hundreds of Musselmen armed
with cudgels and led by the softas
tstudents) overran the quarter and
killed or battered all the Armenians
they met.
Many shops in Galata were plunder-
ed and the panic spread over the whole
city, especially I'm the Pera quarter,
where the two bombs were thrown in
to a group of soldiers. several of whom
were wounded. Bombs. bullets and
other missiles rained upon passers-by.
A bomb thrown from a bank roof killed
four Turkish women driving past in a
carriage.
Sir Edgar Vincent, Governor of the
bank, went to the Yildiz Kiosk for an
audience with the Sultan on the sub
ject, and while he was there the Sui
tan received n message from the riot
ers announcing that they were willing
to surrender If allowed to leave the
country. He then returned to the
bank and parleyed with the leaders
through the open windows.
The Armenians declared that they
had seized the bank to make a demon
stration against the Powers which had
abandoned the Armenian cause. They
finally surrendered and were sent away
on Sir Edgar's yacht Gulnar guarded
by the British guardship Imogene and
two British gunboats.

BOMB FOR FAURE.
Attempt to Assassinate the French President,
Not Successful.

President Faure of France had a
narrow escape from death or serious
injury to-day, presumably at the hands
of anarchists. A leaden tube, ten inch
es long, filed with gun powder and
nails was placed under a flower stall
on the route which the president was
following. Fortunately the engine of
destruction did not explode until five
minutes after NJ Faure had passed the
point at which 1t was placed. The ex-
plosion caused material damage and
great excitement prevailed when II
was learned that the president had
been In danger The explosion took
place at the corner of the Boulevard
De Magenta and the Rue de Lafayette.
The president was on his way TO the
Care Du Nord when the bomb was ex-
ploded, evidently by some person or
persons who had learned of his route
beforehand. 1t was learned later that
the presidents train had left the sta
ton at the Care du Nord before the ex-
plosion took place. A previous attempt
to assassinate President Faure BY
means of a bomb was made on June
1S last while the president was on his
way to the race meeting at Long
