ESTABLISHED OMAHA DAILY TURKEY FINALLY GIVES After Months of Delay the Porte Finally Ooncedes Everything. LAN FOR ARMENIAN REFORM ACCEPTED | to Slgn an Imperinl i the Present Preswure of the Powers. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 16.—Sald Pasha has accepted the scheme for reform in Ar- menla drawn up by Great Britaln, Frauce and Russia and it now awaits the signature of the sulian. The scheme Is almost identical with ihe proposals of last May, which, in substance, were that the governors and vice g of Van, Brzeroum, Sivas, Bitlls, Khartut ¢ Trebizond, be Christlan or Mussuiman, cording to the Inclination of the population; but either the governor or the vice gov I8 to be a Christian and the appointmen to be confirmed by the Local and not state officials are to collect the taxes and snough money s to be retained before it Is for warded to Constantinople to pay the expenses )f the 'ocil admizis ratlon. Complete cian:es will b2 made in the judicial sy will be abolished and the prisons will be un der surveillance, the police will be composed of Christians and Turks equally and the against compulsory conversions to Islamism will bo strietly enforced. The ambassadors of the powers expect that the whole question will be finally settled dur- Ing the course of the week by the promulga- tion of an imperal decree. Contrary to gen- eral expectation, the high commissioner, who will be ¢ i with the execution of this scheme of reform, will be a Christian. This was the hardest pill for the porte to swallow and for a long time it threatened to bring about the most serious complications Events have moved with cxtreme rapidity within the past few days. On Monday Sir Phillip Currie, the British amba M Cambon, the Fie ch minister, and M. the Russian ambassador, united making a final demand for Arment Tha note Is said to have contained a dir intimation that uniess the porte at once com- plied by accepting the proy reforms the three powers would present an ultimatum recelved from Trebizond says the Russian postal steamer is lying there with 2,000 Christian refugees on board.

The Times correspondent belleves the whole trouble is that the recent disturbances have accentuated (he Mahom- medan discontent with the government. N hommedans declare a storm is brewing which will sweep away the whole dynasty and lib- erato Islam from the {hraldom of the hated Hamidlan system which cramps its energics and paralyzes all its forces. The activity at the Dardanelles continues and 10,000 additional men are under orders to Join the garrison. New batteries aze build ing at Darnano mazie and Majidieh, armed with heavy guns. All the flannel in town has been bought up for cartridges, and all the white-smiths are busy making lan- terns and canteens. Many Mahommedans have been arr different parts of Stam- boul for using seditious lenguage. AN QUESTION A iving th Denl of LONDON, Oct. 1 the Associated press tained from the best source the following statement as to the state of the Venezuelan question: The United States ambassador Thomas F. Bayard, present:d a_long nol to the marquix of Silisbury on the Venezuelan question, weeks ago, stating at length the views of the United Stat's gov ernment and the rules and policy by which they guided such questions arising betwee a Furopean government and an An republic. Up to the present no repl been glven, and since it advances a doctrine of such great importance and wide applica tion the matter will engage the serlous at tention of the British government for some time The Times this editorial that no ¢ Venczuelan question within the scope of the Monroe doctrine. It is begging the question,” says the Times, “to assume that the British claim 18 for fresh territory. The British case rests wholly upon the vindication of our original right. The British contention is that as Britlsh Guiana becomes British by right of conquest from the Dutch, the British territory extends over the whole area possessed by Holland. Every year adds to the value of a settlement in the colon within the Schomberg line. It is no longer possible to.admit any question of a cur- taflment of British jurisdiction beyond that line. We now willing to submit the frontier question to arbitration, bug a few years hence It may be equally impossible to admit such a question anywhere within the ljimits which we believe to be rightfully ours “It is inevitable that a note such as the United States ambassador, Mr. Bayard, pre sented to the marquis of Salisbury on this question some weeks ago should be drawn al most exclusively from Venezuelan scurces, It therefore requires the fullest coasideration before replylng. The toleration which a strong power is bound to display in dealing with weaker nelghbors must have its limit and as far as American representations may assist In inducing a settlement without re course to_harsh measures, they will not, we tmagine, be unwelcome, The Schomberg line, to which reference 1s made In the Times editorial, was run in 1840 by an Enelish commissioner named Echomberg, who was sent to Venezuela for that purpose, but without the knowledge or concurrence of Venezuela. The territory in- cluded in the so-called Schomberg line com prises a great gart of the territory in dis- pute between Great Britain and Venezucla.

Lively Discussion in {he Episcopal House of Depntien. MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 16.—Among the re- ports presented at the opening session of the house of deputies of the Episcopalian conven- tion was one from the committee on nomina- tions, naming as trustées of the general theo- logical seminary all ofithe board and propos- Ing Henry Butt as the wuccessor of Rev. Dr. Hall, deceased. A majority and minority report on the proposition of the bishops to change the title page of the book.of common prayer precipl tated a warm discussion. The bishops desirel to insert the words “according to the Ameri- can use,” rather than idsert the whole name of the church. This was interpreted by some s o move toward changing the name of the church. It was also argued that the revision of the prayer book had been completed in 1892 and dropped and that it would be un- wise to take it up again now. Vote being take, the dep @ refused to concur in the revision. There was a lively debate over an other message irom the bishops recommend ing the reference of the canons to the present | revision commission with Instruetions to re- | port to the next convention. A large element ted the canons to go to the new commis- . to which the constitutional revision was referred yesterday, but this was overruled in tho end and the action of the bishops con- curred in, The houss of bishops today appointed a commission to prepare a yersion of the prayer book in German.

P. Huntington denies emphatically the Vanderhilts are negotiating with him relative to acquiring a lease of the Central Pa in order to use it in connection with the Union Pacific as an overland system into this state and city. He further states that he would not lease the Central Pacific to th Vanderbilts or anybody else. He wants to keep it as a part of his Southern Pacific ystem. During a conversation on the probability of the Vanderbilts taking control of the Union Pacific Mr. Huntington sald: “I would not be surprised to hear of the Vanderbilts taking the active management of the Unlon Pacific They have plenty of money to enable them to do so and are able men. While I do not know 1t to be a positive fact I understand they hold considerable of the road’s secu They arc also supposed to be in control of the Chicago & Northwestern. These fac may or may not mean anything. It is none of my business, however, and I have enough of my own to attend to without try- in, y into other people's affairs. “The Vanderbilts have not sought tb lease or get control of the Central Pacific.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.—In the United States cireuit court of appeals today the suit of the Farmers' Loan and Trust company of New York against the recelvers of the Oregon Railway and Navigation compan; was on trial. Ex-Senator Dolph of Oregon appeared for the trust company and Senator Thurston of Nebraska appeared for the rail- road. The suit, which involves a number of issues, grew out of an for the foreclosure of a mortgage by the loan company against the Oregon Rallway and Navigation company. When the suit was commenced the latter company was in the hands of the receivers of the Union Pacific, Later a separate receiver was ap pointed for the Navigation company.

Dr. Taylor of Springfield, UL, described the attempt to erect a province of THinois without the fon of the convention and showed how it was handicapped by lack of authority. The house of deputies had an interesting debate regarding church unity this afternoon. It came upon tie conslderation of the report of the committee on amendment to the con- stitution proposing an amendment to article allowing bishops to take eertain congrega- tions under thelr spiritual tare and permit- ting these outside congregations to use a spe- cial service selected by the bishop. This was a step in the direction of ehurch unity and it debated with great warmth. The com- mittee was about evenly divided on the sub- Ject. Dr. W. H. Huntington of New York made a forcible avgument in favor of the plan, and said that thire was every' reason to believe that it would become a sucegssful experiment, and in the Swedisn Epl:;%.J (churches of Minneapolis they had an éxample of what could be done in this direction. 1f the church believed what it had previously detlared about church unity here was a efince to be G sistent. 3 Rev.
