ALARM IN THE CAUCASUS
Massing of Turkish Troops in Ar
menia Believed to Portend
Serious Trouble.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 4.-Recent advices
received from the Caucasus indicate that
the Russian inhabitants are greatly
alarmed over the concentration of Turkish
troops in Armenia and the region seized
from Persia, which, II is believed, is de-
signed as a reply to any attempt at a
demonstration on the part of Russia.
Under the cover of Turkish tribesmen
the Turks are reported as massing in
fantry at Bayazd and other strategic
points near the frontier in such strength
as to dispose of the probability that the
movement is intended solely against nom
militant Persia.
Russia now has only two army corps
i'm the Caucasus, q large part of which
are dispersed in detachments through the
country to preserve order or engaged in
punitive expeditions. An officer is quoted
as saying that the Turks could. in case
of trouble, sweep the Caucasus and oc-
cupy Tiflis in ten days. Turkish ennis
saries and spies. it is said, are to be found
everywhere fomenting disorder and
most of the Inhabitants, particularly In
Daghertan, are in open sympathy with
their cO-religionists across the border.
The authorities here, though admitting
the seriousness of the Turko-P Persian re-
lations, do not share the alarmist views
held in the Caucasus. and declare that
the possibility of hostilities with Turkey,
over which Russians there are papicky,
is utterly excluded. Certain precaution-
ary measures. however, are being taken
bv the military council. and during the
past three weeks all regiments in that
territory have been notified to hold them
selves in readiness TO move at short no
tice.

Don c. Walker President of the New
Church Organization With Head
quarters at Rigby, Ida.

Rigby, Ida, Feb. 4.-For some time
past a movement has been on foot in
the north end of Bingham stake to
divide it and organize a new one out
of all that part of the old stake north
of the county line between Fremont
and Bingham counties. 1t was felt
that the old stake was too large to
obtain the best results. No opposition
was manifested to the officers of the
old stake. Some time ago a meeting
Of the bishops of the wards was held
in Rigby to consider the matter. re-
sulting in petition being signed and
addressed to the first presidency by
the bishOprics of every ward in the
new division, with the exception of one.
At the quarterly conference of the
Bingham stake, held in Iona on Satur-
day and Sunday, the matter was dis
cussed and unanimously voted upon by
the priesthood to make the division. A
meeting was appointed TO be held in
Rigby. the center and headquarters of
the new stake, for today, at which the
people of the new stake were present
i'm large numbers. The proposition of
creating a new stake was again put
to them and they voted unanimously
in favor of the new organization.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 4.-Dr. Allen Fer
ris, president OF the lunacy commits
sion, who visited Harry Thaw yester-
day at Matteawan, said that Thaw ap-
peared very nervous and excitable, but
that on such a short notice it would
be impossible to come TO any conclu-
sion as to his permanent mental con-
dition.
THE prisoner was very cordial and
gentlemanly TO me-" said Dr. Ferris.
Il talked with him in private room
for about twenty minutes just after he
had been in conversation with his wife.
He was too excited for me to pursue
any one line of questions, but was con-
sistent in his answers. He talked
about the architecture OF the asylum,
saying he thought it was rather crude,
and said that better provision ought to
be made for protection against the
wind. He also said that he remembered
me at the trial and that he had in
tended inviting me as one of his eX-
perts. apparently forgetting that I had
testified for the state and against him
at the first trial"
Thaw Not Despondent.
DIR. Ferris said that Thaw did not
appear to be respondent, and that he
is being treated the same as any other
person.
Thaw spent last night in a private
room Immediately adjoining the ward
in which he has been since he was
taken to the institution. He said to-
day, however. that the slightly changed
surroundings had not relieved him of
the sleeplessness with which he had
been troubled since he has been at the
asylum.
Daniel O'Reilly was accompanied by
Mrs Evelyn Thaw, the prisoners wife,
when he visited the hospital today.
After they had left and were about to
return TO this city, Mrs. Thaw said:
what a terrible place it is. think
fl is awful. 1 would be crazy myself
If 1 stayed there week. If the
lawyers don't make a move TO get
Harry out right away, shall do some
thing myself. During the day he has
10 sit with all these unfortunate peO-
pie and I don't wonder he becomes ex-
cited"
Against Habeas Corpus.
If the counsel of Martin W Little
ton prevails, il does not appear to be
likely that an early attempt will be
made to have Harry K. Thaw released
from Matteawan asylum on habeas
corpus proceedings. He said today that
there was no need 10 obtain habeas
corpus. "Thaw has been acquitted of
the charge of murder and is not a
criminal" said he He is at Mattea-
wan for the purpose of observation
only. If the conditions and surround
ings there are such that his health
may be impaired. it is incumbent On
the state board of lunacy to have him
removed to an institution where other
conditions and surroundings prevail"

Admiral Ferreira do Amaral, Senior

Castillo are known as independents,
Senior Henriques and DR.. Lima are
regenerators, and Sehnor d Espregueria

lists. The last two ministers count
upon the support of all the monarchi-
cal factions. Admiral de Castillo and

Interview With Premier.

In an interview the new premier
said that he had accepted the power
in order to pacify the disturbed pub
lie spirit and Te-establiSh normal life,
because he believed that the Portuguese
people were devotedly attached to the
monarchy. If revolution was ever pos
sible, he said, the terrible crime which
has overwhelmed the nation would pre-
vent its realization.
Premier Do Amaral plans to hold
the new elections in April He, to-
gether with his entire cabinet, paid
an official visit to the palace this aft
ernoon.
Admiral Do AmaraI is invested with
the full powers of premier, but he
consults frequently with King Manuel
and Queen Amelie.
A constant stream of prominent peo-
pie called at the royal palace today TO
view the bodies of King Carlos and
the crown prince, which are lying in
an improvised mortuary chapel. a
flood of soft light from countless car
dies filled the chamber of mourning.
There was a mass in the chapel this

DIRECT NORTHERN CON-
NECTTOW NEEDED.


In the midst of all the talk of
railroads projected through the Val
ley to Brownsville. the people here
should not lose sight of the fact that
what is actually needed is more d.
rect connection with the northern
markets A railroad from San An
tonic would, Of course, help consid-
erably, and yet it would not give the
truck and fruit products of the Val
ley the best market connections. It
is generally ACKNOWLEDGED by thought
full citizens of Brownsville and the
other Valley towns that this section
would undoubtedly gain much great
er advantage by securing railroad
along the route recently mapped out
for its consideration by that veteran
railroad builder, Col. Uriah Lott Of
Brownsville. who sets forth very con-
vineingly the advantages to be gained
by securing a connection through
Basuop with Fort Worth rather than
with San Antonio. As Col. Lott point
ed out, the products of the Valley
would stand a much better showing
and make quicker connection with
the northern markets at Fort Worth
than they could possibly secure at
San Antonio. The markets for truck
and fruit raised in this section as
suredly lie to the north and west. At
Fort Worth, they would make fast
connection with a wide territory ex-
tending in those directions, mhile at
San Antonio, they win have to com
pete with similar products from the
higher regions of the Rio Grande Val
ley and of Western Texas in general.
and lose considerable time in going
northward from San Antonio, as com
pared with the more direct route
mapped out by Col. Lott. The Lower
Rio Grande Valley needs more rail-
roads and needs them badly. The
one railroad now reaching into the
Valley and terminating at Browns
vile VIII surely be utterly inadequate
to handle the enormous output of
truck, sugar, cotton and fruits that
viii be produced along tae twenty
four irrigating canals Eow in opera
ton in the Valley, snd more trans
portation viii be absolutely indisDen-
sible within the very near future.
Therefore it behooves not only San
Antonio but other points to the north
and west of the aVlley to make an
effort to secure the construction Of
one or more Of the lines that viii be
needed.
The pressure Of the heavy freight
rates now collected. on everything
brought into or shipped out of the
Valley. through the big diferential
which the state railway commission
allows the one railroad now operat-
ing here to charge. is making all To-
cal shippers restless and dissatisfied,
and viii most assuredIy hasten the
move to secure another railroad. It
is to be hoped, however, that the bes>
route possible may be selected, so as
to give the Valley the northern mar
kets.
