HAS A BETTER LOOK The Dispute Between Turkey and the Powers. m4 URGING THE SULTAN 10 GIVE IN Tremendous Cloud Burst in the Black Forest. EARTHQUAKE AT FLORENCE CONSTANTINOPLE, June 6.—The situa- tion of affairs, so far as the settlement of the questions in dispute between the Turk- ish government and the representatives of the powers regarding reform in Armenia is concerned, shows considerable improve- ment today. This improvement is undoubt- edly due to the firm attitude of the powers in positively refusing to accept any modi- fication of the program which has been mapped out for the improvement of the condition of Armenia. The Turkish minister for foreign af- fairs, Said Pasha, has paid frequent visits to the British embassy since the reply of the porte to the note of the powers was delivered, and it is hoped that it will re- sult in persuading the sultan to accept the inevitable as gracefully as possible. Advices received here from Jiddah to- day show that there is no improvement in that portion of the question between the Turkish government and the powers. The Bedouins have destroyed the cholera hospital at Jiddah for the care of sick pilgrims traveling to and from Mecca. The Turkish garrison at Jiddah has been re- inforced, but the foreign population will remain on board the ships in the harbor until the arrival of the warships of the powers. A TREMENDOUS CLOUD BURST. Great Flood Caused in Forest District. STUTTGART, Germany, Jure 6.—There was a tremendous tloud burst yesterday evening over the Wertemberg portion of the Black Forest district, causing great destruction of property. The downfall of water caused the river Eyach to rise, and many houses at Balingen, Frommern, Dfrr- wangen and Lanfen were swept away. Many persons are missing, and It is feared they were drowned in the flood. Ten persons were drowned at Baleingen, seven persons were killed at Frommern end nine persons are missing, in addition, from the last-named place. At Lanfen fif- teen persons were killed. the Black The Black Forest is a_mountainous re- gion of southwestern Germany, in the grand duchy of Baden and the west of Wurtemberg, separating the basins of the Rhine and Neckar. -In many places it is 3,700 feet above the sea, and the Feldberg, 4,675 feet high, is the loftiest mountain in western Germany. The Danube, Neckar, Kinzig, Murg, Eltz, and other rivers rise in this region. The inhabitants are mainly ergaged in rearing live stock, trading in timber and manufacturing wooden clocks, toys and woolen fabrics. CHAOS IN FORMOSA. A German Gunboat Fires on a Chinese Fort. HONG KONG, June 6.—Advices received here from Taiphfu, Island of Formosa, de- scribe affairs in that town as still in a chaotic condition. The native ‘quarter of ‘Taiphfu has been burned. During the con- flagration a magazine exploded and killed ninety Chinese. ‘The German gunboat Itlis fired on the Chinese forts at Hobe, presumably because a merchant steamer with Tang, the for- mer president of the so-called republic of Formosa, on board with a number of refu- gee Chinese soldiers, was not allowed to leave. The forts were silenced by the fire of the gunboat and the native gunners fled. Subsequently the merchant steamer proceeded, The British cruiser Rainbow left morning for Tamsui. - EARTHQUAKE IN FLORENCE. this Almost Everybody Rushed in Terror to the Streets. FLORENCE, June 6.—There was a sharp earthquake sheck here at 6 this morn- ing. It arouse@ almost everybody hastily from their beds, and when it was followed by a succession of other subterraneous dis- turbances, shcck following shock in rapid succession, the people became panic-strick- en and rushed in terror to the streets, where they remained for hours, greatly alarmed. Aithough it is not believed that any serious damage was done, the inhabi- tants of this city, not having recovered from the panic which followed the big earthquake of Saturday, May 18 last, were with difficulty persuaded to return to their homes. —_—__. MISS BOYD'S FATHER. Denies Her Engngement to Dr. Bi choffi—The Latter Reiterates. The announcement of the intended mar- riage of Prof. J. W. Bischoff to Miss Cora Boyd was not made authoritatively. In what way it escaped from the restraints of secrecy and became public is not known. Notwithstanding Mr. Bischoff’s statement yesterday affirming the possibility of such a marriage, the report was not received in some quarters as one entirely free from doubt. To strengthen these misgivings, there was received today from Mr. John Boyd, the father of Miss Boyd, the follow- ing telegram: NEW YORK, June 6. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The announcement of the engagement of Miss Boyd te Prof. J. W. Bischoff in yours of June 5 is flatly denied. Again today a Star reporter called on Prof. Bischoff and asked him if he was cor- rectly reported in the article published in yasterday’s Star in regard to the matter. “That statement,” said Mr. Bischoff, “at the end of the article and coming from me was correct. The announcement was un- authorized, uncalled for and premature, but my statement given to The Star reporter that there is a possibility of this marriage is true.” When Mr. ltoyd’s telegram was read to Mr. Bischoff he said: “That is the denial of Mr. John Boyd, the father of Miss Boyd, and to it you must give such weight as in your judgment it deserves. Notwithstand- ing the denial, I must say my statement yesterday is true. More than this I do not care to say. I do not see that it is neces- Sary to say anything more. This fs a’ pri- vate matter with which the newspapers should have nothing to do.” No confirmation of the announcement.has been given by Miss Boyd, who is said to be absent from the city. ———>—__ MT.

ENCOURAGING INDUSTRIES Board of Trade Inquiring Into the Avail- "able Power at Great Falla, The Legal Committee That is to Ask Congrexs for a New District Code— New Members Admitted. A meeting cf the board of directors of the board of trade was held in the rooms of the board, Ames building, yesterday after- noon, Mr. S. W. Woodward, first vice presi- dent, occupying the chair in the absence of the president. The committee on member- ship submitted a report, on consideration of which the following named,gentlemen were elected members ef the board of trade: James M. Green, Willard & Reed (change of name from H. K. Willard), Ward Thoron, Meyer Loeb, Claas Denekas, Meyers & An- derson, Aaron Baldwin, W. B. Webb, James T. Bradford, Owen Owen, Dr. Lyman B. Swormstedt, E. Welsh Ashford, Dr. Chas. H. Stowell,, Dr. John A. Swope, Jas. G. Jester, the Allegheny Company, Dr. Chas. B. Purvis. The board then proceeded to consider the appointment of the members of the legal ecmmittee, under the resolution of the board of trade adopted:at/a recent meet- ing. This committee is charged with« the duty of preparing a petition to the Attor- ney Gerleral, and subsequently to both houses of Congress, setting forth the neces- sity for a new code of laws for the District in place of the present incongruous and antique system, and of doing all in its Fower to secure the enactment of such code. The committee was appointed as fol- lows: Messrs. A. T. Britton, chairman; R. Ross Perry, James M. Johnston, Henry F. Blount, Jeremiah M. Wilson, Chas. C. Glover and Henry Wise Garnett. The committee on commerce and manu- factures was authorized to visit the Great Falls for the purpose of inspecting the fa- cilities at that place for utilizing the flow of the Potomac, with the end in view of furnishing motive power for such manufac- turing establishments as local conditions will favor, in addition, probably, to sup- plying the city with a complete lighting system. The members of the committee are much interested in the question of the introduction of light manufacturing into the District and the country immediately adjoining, and are anxious to obtain as much information as possible on the sub- ject, to which they have already given considerable attention. It is understood that among the party which will make the trip to the Great’ Falls within the next few days will be a number of capitalists large- ly interested in the development of the power of the Niagara river, a problem which is attracting: much attention, and whose solution bids fair to revolutionize the motive system of many of our great manufacturing plants. The board then adjourned after general discussion and the transaction of routine business. —__.___- THE POTATO PHILANTHROPY. Applications for Land Must Be Made Before June 20. The work of the committee in charge of carrying out the “potato plan” has been steadily progressing with a gradually in- creasing number of applicants. Forty-one pleces of ground tendered the committee by citizens have been accepted and appli- cants assigned to them, while eighteen pieces had to be rejected as not suitable for cultivation. Nearly all the land offered thus far is covered by the foregoing state- ment, except a tract of about twelve acres, which will be inspected at once. All who wish to obtain land for the purpose of rais- ing potatoes should apply at’ the head- quarters of the committee, 702 9th street northwest, second floor, front room, with- out delay. Owing to the lateness of the season no ground will be given for this purpose after June 20. Cabbage and tur- nip seed will be furnished applicants dur- ing the month of July. It is to the ad- vantage of all who wish to make use of the land at the disposal of: the committee to apply at once, however; as the rule of “first come, first served,’ must prevail. eee RIGGS BANK PROPERTY. A Division Mnde Between the Cor- coran .Heirs and Mr. Riggs. A deed of partition was recorded yester- day, by which the property at the north- west corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 15th street is divided between E. Francis Riggs and the trustees under the will of the late W. W. Corcoran. The property is improved by what Is known as the Riggs Bank building, and under the terms of the partition the portion taken, by Mr. Riggs was a frontage of 53feet_ 4% inches on Pennsylvania avenue and 130 feet on 15th street. The balance, with,, frontages on Pennsylvania avenue and 15th street, is re- tained by the Corcoran heirs. The entire property contains about 25,000 square-feet, and the portion retained by Mr. Riggs is about one-third of the whole. It is believed that in the near future improvements of a substantial character will be made. —_ Fell From a Cable Car. Thomas F.

The hopes and aspira- tions which inspired its manifold bosom wken President Cleveland was inaugurated for the second time, and the eager, covetous glances it cast on the many lucrative local pleces under executive control were stifted in the one instance and metamorphosed in- to expressionless stares in the second by the continued disinclination of Mr. Cléve- land to remove the appointees of his pre- decessor. It is true that C. H. J. Taylor was made recorder of deeds, but this was more discomforting to the District democ- racy th&n any other thing that could have happened. The appointment of Mr. Ma- negue was not Sufficient to give the weary and worthy anything more in the way of animation than a galvanie shock, 2nd Mr. Willett’s selection as postmaster had keen discounted so long in advance that its announcement caused no sensation whatever. The arraignment and subsequent apothe- csis of Recorder Taylor made the dullness of the local democracy deader than ever, and it had about settled down to the sad conviction that nothing was to be expected from Mr. Cleveland, when the announce- ment was made in yesterday’s Star that the President had calied for Mr. Manogue’s resignation. The effect upon the somnolent pertion of the party in this neighborhood was electrical. The awakening into instant and vigorous animation can only be ex- plained on the ground that the subject was pretty nearly to the end of the nap, any- how. Be this as it may, there is no gain- saying the statement that the District democracy is very much on the alert today, and has its eyes and ears wide open and all its other faculties under full command. Causes of the Metamorphosis. The main reason for this spring-like re- juvenation is, of course, the speculation over the succession to Mr. Manogue, but an additional cause for it may be discovered in the belfef that President Cleveland will make one mouthful of the local patronage cherry and appoint a register of wills and a district attorney at the time he makes a new collector of the port of Georgetown. The aspirants for the letter place were up with the lark this morning, and their chances were being discussed later by their friends and supporters. When Mr. Ma- nogue was appointed his seleciion ended a very close and pretty fight, the leading con- testants in which were Mr. Oscar A. Stev- ens, Mr. William Hutchins (now superin- tendent of the Georgetown branch post office), Mr. Henry Blunt and Mr. B. Lewis Blackford. It is said with apparent author- ity that while the struggle was in progress the collectorship was offered by Secretary Carlisle to Mr. Lawrence Gardner, but he declined it, it is said, because he was sup- porting one of the other candidates. Opened an Old Fight. The forces arrayed on the side of Mr. Manogue and Mr. Hutchins were the most energetic of thgse engaged in the battle. The candidacy of these gentlemen was really a renewal of the open fight that oc- curred in Chicago. three years ago this summer, when the question of who should be the District member of the democratic national committee was so hotly argued by Mr. Henry E. Davis and Mr. James L. Norris. Mr. Norris, who was victorious in Chicago, was the leader of Mr. Hutchins’ friends in the collectorship contest, while the white plume of Henry E. Davis waved in front of the Manogue legions. Tne lat- ter won, and Mr. Manogue’s appointment and subsequent course as collector are too well known to need repetition here, and the causes that led to the demand for his resignation have been set forth fully in The Evening Star. ‘ It would be only in the nature of things for Mr. Hutchins and his friends to go to the front again after the collectorship, and thus secure at a second sortie what they Were prevented from getting in the first. There is no doubt such an outcome would be gratifying to Mr. Norris and the rest of Mr. Hutchins’ friends, but the latter is not so anxious to be appointed as he was. He was appointed by Postmaster Wil- lett superintendent of the Georgetown branch post office. The salary is a good one and the office is protected by the civil service rules. If Mr. Hutchins were made collector he would have less than two years to serve before a republican would come in and invite him to try the rest and quiet of private life. That is the way the political horoscope reads at this particular time, anyhow. So Mr. Hutchins doesn’t want it. Candidates Who Are Willing. Mr. Stevens, Mr. Blunt and Mr. Black- ford do, however, and the friends of the two first named gentlemen appear to think that their particularm™ candidate will get the place without question. Mr. Biack- ford’s friends, and they are many, say nothing, but look intelligent when the col- lectorship is mentioned. There is another factor in the fight in its renewed stage, however, that may prove more potent than any or all of the others. Since it became pretty well understood that Mr. Manogue’s departure from office had been decided upon a great many in- fiuential people have been quietly pressing the name of Mr. John Boyle, a leading local democrat, as that of Mr. Manogue’s successor. Mr. Boyle himself is not an applicant for the ‘piace and has filed no papers in his own behalf like the other aspirants, but it is pretty well understood that he would not refuse the place if it is offered to him. The influence of Secretary Carlisle and the customs officials of the Treasury De- partment is also said to be in Mr. Boyle's favor, because of his familiarity with the practical and technical details of the cus- toms service, gained by his years of duty as a treasury press reporter. The Registership Puzzle. Other’ names have been mentioned in connection with the prospective appoint- ment, and among them is that of Mr. J. Fred Kelley. Mr. Kelley is not a candidate for the collectorship, however, but is prom- inently mentioned in connection with the registership of wills, now held by Col. L. P. Wright, whose commission, given him by President Harrison, expired many months ago. It is generally admitted that this place, if filled at the present time,will go to either Mr. Kelley or Mr. Dorsey Clagett, a former incumbent of the office. At one time, three months ago, it was con- fidently expected that Mr. Kelley’s name was about to be announced as that of Col. Wright's successor, and the failure of the President to make the nomination occa- sioned much surprise among those who knew what had occurred in connection with the matter. Mr. Clagett’s friends have been loyal and energetic in his be- half, and it is said that strong influence has been brought to bear in behalf of making Mr. W. Cranch MclIntire register of wills. For the district attorneyship, which rumor says will also come under the Presi- den’s observation along with the other offices to be disposed of, many candidates have been made known, but none of them have been loud in their public demand for the place. Local democrats appear to be convinced that Mr. Henry E. Davis will succeed Mr. Birney in case the latter is called upon to resign, as expected now in usually well informed quarters, while an impression prevails among the national lookers-on that the next district attorney will be selected from among the non-com- bative politicians who have successfully practiced law either here or elsewhere.
