HAMILTON, Receiver. RIOTING AT CONSTANTINOPLE. Armed Men Made an Attack on the Ottoman Bank. A score of men, armed with revolvers and bombs, invaded the Ottoman Bank at Constantinople, Turkey, yesterday, killing a number of gendarmes on guard. Closing the doors of the Ottoman Bank to prevent the outward advance of the mod, the em- ployes of the bank fled to the quarters in the bank building occupied by the tobacco syndicate, which has control of the collec- tien of the taxes on tobacco throughout the Turkish empire. The invaders mounted the roof of the building. and from the open windows fired at the police in the street below. The po- lice returned the fusillade in a vigorous manner, and several persons were killed and wounded. The rict then became general. Shops wer *ked and bazaars invaded, and the wildest excitement prevailed throughout certain quarters of Coastantinople. At 5 o’clock in the afternoon the bank was re- ported still in the hands of the invaders. A later report said that there is no doubt that the movement was revolutionary in plan and scope; that it had its origin at the secret meetings of the Hintchskist Ar- menians. About forty of the rioters were still in pes on of the Ottoman Bank at a late hour last evening. despite all the ef- forts of the government forces to remove them from the building. Advices from the disorderly sections of the city. late last ere to the effect that the riots con- tinued, and that the mobs were steadily in- creasing in the Galata quarter. A bomb was exploded in Constantinople near the Galatasers guard house. Many soldiers were killed and wounded. Her jesty’s steamship Dryad at once left . where she anchored, and pro- ceeded to the city. It is also expected that the F h and Italian guardships will go antinople. Her majesty’s steamer Cockatrice arriv- ed en route for the Danube. She will prob- ably remain on account of the riots. ~ see NO TANGIBLE ASSETS. investigating the Fatlare of Moore Brothers. The special committee appointed by the Chicago Stock Exchange some time ago to meke en investigation into the failure of W. H. & J. H. Moore, the Monroe street lawyers. who attempted to run a corner in the stocks of the Diamond Match and New York Biscuit companies, made its report to the governing committee of the stock exchang> yesterday afternoon. ‘The re- port stated that a thorough investigatioh of the books of the two manipulators of tne big deal has failed to bring to light any tangible assets whatever. The mem- bers of the pool that was backing the Moores," it is thought, can perhaps be held responsible for all trades that were made, and in this direction is the only hope of the creditors of effecting a settlement of dif- erences. the It is evident, however, from the report that th mmittee dees not consider the chances success particularly bright. The m ant fact disclosed by the report is 5,000 of Diamond Match funds was used as margins in the Specula- tive purchase of Diamcnd Match stock. These purchases were not sanctioned by the directors of the company, but were al- leged by the Mocres to have been made on the authority of the executive committe a body consisting of O. C. Barber, president of the pany, who was in Europe at W. H. Moore of Moore Bros. and J. K. Robinson, the treasurer of i pany. The company borrowed . since the date of the last annual report, the money. presumably, being that sunk in the match speculation. As to the New York Biscuit Company the repert shows that $253,000 of the funds of that company were used in a manner similar to that employed in the case of the Diamond Match. ‘The report fully establishes the fact that there was a pool of wealthy men behind the Mccre brothers in the match deal, end it holds out the distinct hope that the members of this pool can be forced to as- sume a full share of responsibility to brok- ers and others on account of the deal. The names of the members are withheld for the present, but the committee promises that it will give them up if those members do not come forward and assume their share of the respon FOR RESULTS OF EXCESSES Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

Tom Brown's Boys Lose to the Pitts- burgs. ~ It was a game of seesaw yesterday after- noon at National Park between the Wash- ington and Pittsburg base ball clubs. ‘The men from the smoky city proved just a lit- tle bit the hecvier and the home club went up in the air. German pitched for Wash- ington, and he was slugged pretty frecl far more noticeably so than a young gen- tleman named Hastings who occupied the center of the diamond for the Pirates, and wko, by the way, was former!y the star twirler of the Western League. In addition to Hastin, there were th other Lew faces in the Pittsburg aggregation, Harry Davis, who was secured from New York in eachange for Jake Beckley; Padden, who has been playing on the Toronto club, and Wright, a center fielder. The striking fea- ures of the > Were really marvelous auden and Lusn, the former | g high in the air and running with a ball hit by O’Brien ir. the second inning and securing it with his left aand, while Lush ran in from deep right field almost to the foul line and grabbed the ball from Ely’s bat in the eighth inning, when it was within an inch cr two of the ground. Both plays were appreciated ani loudly applauded. The first run of the game was scored by Washington in the third inning. Brown got his base on balls, stole second, and crossed the plate on a hit by German. Arother was added in the fourth. Selbach led off with a hit and reacted second on Farreil’s out at first. He scored on Smith's single. Pittsburg broke the ice in the fifth. Wright, the first batier, hit to center and reached second on Mack's out at first. The runner w sent home on Donovar s gle. The score wi ied in the seventh. Again Wright Jed off with a hit, and again he reached second or Mack’s out at first, ercssing the plate on a single by Hastings. In Washington's half of-the seventh the lead once more fell to the side of the locals. After Cartwr ght had been retired, German made his third hit of the game and stole second, scoring on DeMontreville’s rattling hit to left field. Pittsburg promptly tied the score in the eighth, when Sugden and Lyons singled and Smith let the ball get by him. In the ninth Padden reached third on a drive to left center, and reached home on what proved to be the winning run, wken Donovan made his third hit of the after- Doon. Washington made a gallant effort to overtake the Pirates in the ninth. Brown flied out, but Cartwright was hit by the ball and stole second. McGuire, who was sent to bat in place of German, went out cn @ foul fly to the catcher, much to Jim’s dis- gust. A hit would have made things in- teresting, but Lush was not equal to the occasion. He struck out for the third time, and all was over. The score WASHINGTON. PITTSBURG.

President Wagner today put an end toa piece of unreliable gossip that has been floating around the news currents. He |} told me that Manager Schmelz would have ! charge of the Washingtons next season, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. Manager Schmelz, in talking of his 1897 prespects, said: “I need only one more player and I think I will nave about the team I require to stand up near the top. If I could get a goud hard-hitting outfield- er the Washimgton club would pay big money for his release. This is all we need to make the team first-class. J haye in Mercer, McJames and Norton three of the best young pitchers in the league. In Farrell and McGuire we are aheal of any other team in the catching department. My infield now is pretty nearly as good as I want it. This man Smith illls up a big Bap at third. De Montreville will hold up his own with the best. Yes, it will take only ore or two additions to make the Washington team a possible pennant can- didate.”” It is claimed by Washington club officials that “‘Scrappy’’ Bill Joyce, now of the New Yorks, was guilty of breaking the league rules during his last visit to this city. It is said that Bill went among the Senators and caused discontent by offer- ing three or four of the players more Money to come to New York than :hey are getting in Washington. As there is no chance for the Washington players to es- cape the reserve rule tre Washington peo- ple insist that the offers were made simply to create dissatisfaction. President Wag- ner has filed charges against Joyce, and he 1s liable to be “on the carpet” at the next meeting of the leagui Note Pittsburg again today. Umpire Lally made his first appearance in Washington and did good work. Should Connie Mack, the living exclama- tion point, lose his cunning as a ball player he could secure a permanent position as an auctioneer. McGillicuddy was very much in evidence on the coach lines yesterday. “Say, Mack,” remarked Al Maul from the bench, “are you fat enough yet to afford working ground for an X-ray?” THE CANADA WINS, But the American Boat Outsatled Her and Lost Through a Mistake. ‘The international yacht championship at Toledo went to Canada yesterday through the second defeat of the Chicago boat Vencedor by the Scotch-built craft Can- ada from Toronto. The Canadian was outsailed thoroughly, but won by twenty-six seconds time allow- ance. It was a hard race for the Yankee yacht to lose, for she lost it in an unfortu- nate way. On the second turn Captain Barber could not distinguish the stake boat. There were three boats in line fly- ing the American flag, and there was noth- ing to indicate which was the real boat. Vencedor was headed properly for the right boat, but as she neared it, her cap- tain, being perplexed, pulled for the far- thermost one and rounded them all. His error cost the race, for he lost two min- utes hunting for the right boat. Had he turned the boat properly Vencedor would have won the race by about one minute and a half. ‘The judges’ boat was not near the stake boat when Vencedor was ready to go round. Had it been there it would have been a guide. The Canada, far astery, had no difficulty in making out the boat, for the judges’ boat was there when Canada arrived. Vencedor might have made up her loss anyhow, but the wind went down while she was- sailing the last half of the last leg. ‘There was a strong wind and a squall, followed by rain, the wind being cxactly such as the American boat wanted. The course was five miles to leeward and re- turn, twice over, making a distance in all of twenty miles. There was considerable talk of a protest on account of the location of the boats with flags around the stake boats, but Commodore Berryman said last night: “I went into this race determined not to protest against anything, even though they should shoot a cannon ball through my canvas. We have lost, and that settles this race, but I have a chal'onge in my pocket for another race for 15#f.”" The challenge was formally made when the cup was presented to the Canada. International Tennis. At the international tennis tournament today only the novice singles occupied the attention of the spectators. The sum- maries follow: Novice singles (preliminary round)—P.

Deserting. ee WHEN BOLTING IS RIGHT —— Yesterday afternoon's session of the gold democratic convention at Milwaukee open- ed with a oall for the report of the com- mittee on permanent organization. The nomination of Senator William F. Vilas for permanent chairman was received with enthusiasm. He was escorted to the ros- trum and spoke, in part, as follows: Senator Vilas’ Address. “The old democratic party has been suc- cessfully raided, its flag captured and the insignia of party leadership seized by new and foreign hands. Strange voices issue the words of command and new leaders cry aloud, “This is the way of democracy,’ and point to a path hitherto abhorred by our faith, Some in our ranks have rebelled in anger, resentfully repudiating the party exclaiming betrayal, against its captors, Senator Vil ‘if you be of Israel, we go rather with the children of Belial.’ Others follow blindly, sayirg, ‘Is not this the party flag; do noz these wear the uniform of party generals,” but many stand sadly silent, lamenting the wild confusion, seeking earnestly for some vath of honor to themselves or fu- ture safety for their party. “I cannot take up and lay the convictions of my Judgment; they can be altered by no force but for that reason. Year in and year out. for now nearly forty years, my fellow-citizens have given me audience in popular discussion. I have al- ways advocated wh ty believed.

I do not ejeve a party can stand‘ or ought to sta: which will so deal with important public questions. Vhe Plea 6f } Regularity.” “But with what ‘argument can dem9- crats clothe themselves Who have received no: new light but that which shines from the mere force of nutnb®rs in the Chicago convention? Do they proffer us the plea of party regularity? AM {ts force fs mis- directed. Regularity relates to methods, to party usages, to choice of persons, not to fundamental principles. | We recognize without hesitation that the association of citizens in party for the promotion of great policies of government must compel the submission of individuals in subordinate points, not of principle, but of method. ‘The success of a great cause must not be jeopardized by differences or incrimina- tions, by venting personal disappointments, by sticking in the back of methods approv- ed by the party authority. The murmur of insubordination in the ranks cannot be tol- erated because of dissatisfaction with the general's plan of battle. But widely dif- ferent stands the case when some enemy has put on the general's uniform, when false hands have seized the colors, and or- ders are issued to march the corps over to the ranks of the enemy. Resistance to be- trayal of his country’s cause is not insub- ordination, but the patriot’s duty. When the basic principle of a party is overturn- ed, when its great aims and purposes are suddenly reversed by the intrusion of ene- mies into its councils, or the false con- duct of those who ought to guide it to their accomplishment, then arises the higher duty of individuals to cast off these manacles and re-establish a true associa- tion to promote afresh the objects their principles profess. Not Bolters, but Patriots. “They are rot bolters who stand fast by their ancient faith. They kick as the great teacher kicked the money-changers from the temple. To such kicking, to such bolting the world owes its progress, hu- down at will manity its advancement and elevation. Where would have been liberty to- day if supine submission had gov- erned them who carried the standard of principle in the struggles of the past? Where would have been our independence if America had contained in 1775 only political followers instead of brave and in- telligent men? The fires of the revolution, which warmed the courage and petriotic hearts of the fathers, would only have melted the spirits of those who cry out against independence now. as kicking and bolting. Should the Silver Men Win. “If it be, indeed, a possibility that the sturdy conservatism of our Anglo-Saxon character is gone and a mercurial insta- bility and fitfulness have come instead, if not only a convention will forego reason ard be ruled by silly emotional gales, but he great, steady Ami ‘an mind shall also urrender its common sense to frenzy, then surely we have retrograded at least a hun- dred years and may find the suggestion of our peril in the bloody horrors by which the wild multitude of France made hideous the expiring years ofithe last century. If the people of the United! States be capable of accepting their financial teaching from men who have never had financial training or experience, defying the accumulated wisdom of all scientific study and practical skill; if the fiscal poliey:of a seventy-mil- lien nation is to be taught from traveling carts by noisy montebanks as quack nos- trims are vended to the gullible; if men who were never able tovown a boat on an interlor pond of busifess‘shall set the sails ard take the helm of the ship of state on the ccean currents sof ithe great world’s finance, who can fix:the'limit to our capa- Lility for insanity, who put a hook in the mouth of this leviathan-df folly?

E. S. Bragg, on moving the adoption of the report, made a strong speech for a gold standard, and attacking the Chicago convention, its platfo-m and Its nominees. The convention named an electoral ticket, delegates and four delegates-at-large to the apolis convention. A resolution was adopted recommending to the Indianapolis convention the name of General Edward 8. Bragg of Wiscon- sin for the pres‘dential nomination. Gen- eral Bragg made a brief speech, thanking the convention. The Wisconsin national party organiza- tion was then made permanent, and the state central committee was instructed to name a state ticket.or csll 2 convention for that purpose, as it saw fit.
