‘'THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1895. FAVOR KIAMIL PASHA, Opinions as to the Re- turn of His Regime in Turkey. A GOOD GRAND VIZIER. Germany Thinks the States- man Would Soon Bring About Harmony. INCAUTIOUS INTERFERENCE. Lord Rossbery’s Acts and Plotting of Armenlan Committees Caused the Acute Crisls. BERLIN, GerMANY, Oct. 5.—The con- on in the Foreign Office is rable to the return of the | Pasha in Turkey and the of that statesman to the ud Vizier is warmly approved by many of the officials of the Foreign riment. This feeling is based not a e on the ground that Kiamil was a close friend to Germany during the last term as Grand Vizier, but also on the belief that his well-known tact will be suf- ficient to guide the existing negotiations 1o a speedy and harmonious end. Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish Embassador to Germany, had a prolonged conference with Freiherr Marschall von Bieberstein, Minister of Foreign Affairs, yesterday, at the Foreign Offi Although Germany Lolding aloof from the Armenian question as far as interference with the action of the powers nd, France and Russi is conce s not altogether passive in the matter, having tendered her advice to the Yorte whenever the occasion seemed to be fit. The result of yesterday’s inter- view between the Foreign Minister and the Turkish Embassador must have been reassuring to Kiamil Pasha, to whom the Embassador sent a long and encouraging of o ment dispatch soon after his return to the Turk- ish emb v from the Foreign Office. The National Zeitung, in an article on the Armenian situation, the incau- t interference of Lord Rosebery’s Gov- ernment and the combined plotting of the Armenian committees as sharing the re- sponsibility for producing an acute crisis. Dangerous as the Constantinople riots have been, the paper says, they will prob- aoly lead to such an inquiry on the part of the powers as will elucidate the whole truth in connection with the Armenian movement. The Kreuz Zeitung says the time has come for the Dreibund to intervene, and not leave tne settlement of Turkey’s af- fairs and destinies to Russia, France and The ossische Zeitung, which is ronghly alated with Turcophobia, sees no like- lihood that good will arise from the ac- cession of Kiamil Pasha to power, and 1ds that the Porte has forfeited its s to lenient treatment. This journal ncludes its article with the declaration taF sh fleet ought to be sent to ntinople at once to protect the ians there. The Vossische Zeitung led utterly to catch either the of- nformation or the official tone of the new situation of the people. TO MODIFY D ANDS. Strong Pressure Brought to Bear on the Salisbury Government. LONDON, Exa., Oc With the growth of distrust in the Armenian propaganda, caused by the reports of responsible corre- spondents that the stories of outrages at Sassoun and elsewhere were greatly exag- gerated for political purposes, the pressure g party influence on the Salisbury iment in favor of modifying the de- mands that have been made upon the Porte al es. Since the fall of the Liberal Cabi has been an open secret that Lord F threatened the Porte that if the d of the powers were not accepted in a specified time two of the chief Turkish ports, presumably Smyrna and Salcnica, would be seized and the customs revenues sequ d. The di- rections of Lord Kimberley to this effect ile he was Secretary of State for Foreign s exist in the archives of the office. has from the itset continued the policy of his prede- esor. The presence of the British fleet at Lemnos is explained as contirming the in- tention of the Government to occupy Turk- ish ports if the Porte should prove defiant or should unduly delay the settlement of the stion, but the appointment of Kiamil Pasha as Grand Vizier, with other indications that the Sultan desires to satisiy the powers, has checked British action. Representations have been sent to Lord Salisbury from many of his Con- servative adherents advising him to follow the traditional British policy of support of Turkey. These representations are likely to in- duce Lord Salisbury to relax the strin- gency of his demands. Atany rate Kiamil Pasha will be given time to show his hand. During the six years that he was formerly Grand Vizl that is, from September, 1885, to September, 1891—he guided the Porte through a series of disasters with the greatest skill. the supposed friend of Russia, but he soon developed atendency in favor of the'Triple Alliance, especially Germany, filling the administrative posts whenever he could with Germans and granting concessions for public works to German capitalists. The Enghsh papers treat his recall to power as a trinmph for England, ignoring the fact that Kiamil Pasha showed no special bias toward England and that he opposed the continuous occupation by Great Britain. They also find it conven- ient to forget that he refused /to admit the British demand for the passage of the Btraits of Dardanelles in the event of war with Russia. He has also proved himself to be keenly alive to the danger of British encroachment. The Sultan has called him to power now, not as being biased toward any power, but as relving upon his skill to guide the country through an existing and impending storm. The Armenian question is not the only one that be will have to deal with. There are other matters that will require the greatest political skill for their settlement. A part of Arabia is in revolt, the Slay committee in Sofia is making preparations to enter upon a regular campaign in Mace- donia and the island of Crete ison the verge of an insurrection. It will therefore be seen that it will require a master to guide affairs so that there shall be no dis- memberment of the empire. Anarchy on Crete 1sland. LONDON, Exe., Oct.5.—A dispatch to the Central News from Athens says that s | He entered office as| anarchy prevails throughout the island of Crete. Murders are frequent. The Gov- ernor of the island has forwarded his resignation to Gw.stantinople. Eapoige o DID NOT CAUSE A PANIC. Opinions as to the Depression in the Kafiir Mining Market. LONDON, Exa., Oct. 5—The leading financial papers here concur in the opin- ion that the late depression in the Kn!?ir mining market does not involve a panic. Doubtless, says the Statist, the specula- tions have been too rapid and too large lately, and the pace could not be kept up. In any event it must have been a setback, but the fall hasbeen so small that it proves that the market is sound at the bottom and that the public retains its faith in its future. The present shakeout will not only clear the market of weak operators, but will afford capitalists the desired op- portunity to take a greater interest in the market. e BUYING SUGAR IN EUROPE. An Inorease of Purchases for the Ameri- can Account. LORDON, Exc., Oct. 5.—The large pur- chases of sugar for American account pro ceeded in London and Greenock. At yes- terday’s close the market at Greenock showed an advance of 1s6d on the week. Private advices support Giesicker’s esti- mate of the deficit in the beet-root crop. In addition to the shortness of the beet crop anxiety is caused by the crop in Cuba. Though it is reported to be large it is doubtful if it will be reaped, owing to the disturbances in the island. American re- finers will therefore be obliged to increase their purchases in Europe. pa St The Cruiser Not Lost. MADRID, Srarx, Oct. 5.—A special from Havana says: It is reported that the cruiser Conde de Vanadito has been lost. Itis believed that the report is unfounded. The Vanadito was one of the vessels sent to the scene of the wreck of the Colon a few days ago. Plan of Combined Action. BUENOS AYRES, ArGENTINE, Oct. 5.— A dispatch from Rio de Janeiro says that Great Britain, France and Italy have de- cided upon a plan of combined action with a view to obtaining satisfaction for their respective claims against Brazil.

OMAHA, Nesr., Oct. 5.—Judge Cun- ningham and Scott of the District Court, who has attracted National attention by his irascibility and his actions in sending newspaper men and others to jail for con- tempt of court, was renominated by accla- mation to-day by the Republican conven- tion. He will probably be re-elected, as the district is Republican by 3000 majority and he has friends in all parties. COLUMBUS, O=o, Oct. 5.—Ex-Secre- tary Charles Foster, on his way to Sen- ecaville to speak, was a caller at Repub- lican headquarters io-day. Concerning the Presidency he said: *‘If Quay, Platt and Clarkson can agree on some man— eed or Allison or someb else—and cure the co-cperation of ins, they may defeat McKinley.” e MARRIED THE DEPOSED PRIEST. Mava Steigel Became the Wife of Her Abductor. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Oct. 5—Justice of the Peace Fitten spoke the words to-night that bound Dominick Wagner, the deposed priest, and Maud Steigel together for life. They were marrieC at the residence of the bride’s mother. where Wagner was taken from the County Jail, a number of friends witnessing the ceremony an® the priest was taken back to jail.

NELSON A. M1Les, Major-General. Died From Heart Disease. CHICAGO, IrL., Oct. 5—B. J. Bartlett of 909 South Twenty-second street, St. Louis, Mo., died suddenly at Gore’s Hotel, in this city, to-day. Mr. Bartlett was 70 ears old and a representative of Graham & atten, a lumber firm of Seattle, Wash. The old gentleman was found dead in his _room this morning and appeared to have dropped while attempting to ring for a bellboy. Heart disease is supposed to have been the cause. preb L old Stockyards Burned. CINCINNATI, Omro, Oct. 5.—The old stockyards between Mill Creek and the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad tracks were almost completely destroyed by fire this afternoon. hile the space covered by the fire is very large, the total loss will not exceed $30,000; partially in- sured. TROUBLE YET BREWS. England Continues to Watch China Very Closely. GUARDED BY WARSHIPS. Vice-Admiral Buller Still De~ monstrates the Pressure on Peking. DEMANDS MADE ON A VICEROY. At the S8ame Time There Is a Gen- eral Shaking Up In the Diplo- matic Service. LONDON, ExG., Oct. 5—Though the Foreign Office professes to be satisfied with the full and prompt acceptance by the Pe- king Government of the ultimatum for- warded to it by the British Government demanding the degradation of Liu Ping Chang, Viceroy of Sze-Chuen, for his con- nection with the Sze-Chuen riots, the trouble growing out of the overt hostility of the Chinese to British subjects is not over. The movements of the British squad- ron in the Yang-tse-Kiang show that the tension in the relations between Great Britain and China has hardly been les- sened by the punishment of Liu Ping Chang. Vice-Admiral Buller, instead of ceasing to demonstrate the pressure that is being brought to bear on the Peking Govern- ment, keeps under orders the British war- ships at every point where they were sta- tioned before the Tsung-li Yamen ap- parently conceded the British demands. The warship ZEolus has gone to Wu Chang, where Vice-Admiral Buller is charged to present to Chang Cheh Tung, the Viceroy, the demands relative to the inquiry into the Kucheng massacre. Chang Cheh Tung is a notorious hater of foreigners, and Wu Chang is the center of the production of the pamphlets and placards inciting the populace to the mur- der of Europeans. No overt acts of hostil- ity that would justify Great Britain in de- manding his dismissal from office can be traced to him, despite his known antipa- thy to foreigners. The exact nature of the demands that will be presented to him has not transpired. A strong feature of Vice- Admiral Buller's admission 1s that heis directed to deliver the British aispatches directly to Chang Cheh Tung instead of negotiating through Peking. It is expected by the Foreign Office that the Viceroy will concede the demands. Prime Minister Salisbury has directed Sir Nicholas O’Connor, the British Min- 1ster to China, to expedite his return to St. Petersburg as Embassador in place of Sir F. C. Lascelles. He will be in London in November, when a new Minister to China will be appointed. It is evident that Great Britain is de- termined to conserve and expand her trade and other interests in China. In order to effect this end important changes will be made in the duties of the members of the legation at Peking. Besides the sec- retary of the legation a special commercial attache will be obliged to make an annual tour of the treaty ports. The secretary will visit the chief consulate. The com- mercial attaches will receive the British residents, learning their grievances and watching the course of trade. As Sir Nicholas O’Connor suggested these changes nothing will be done in the matter until Lord Salisbury personally confers with Sir Nicholas. It is raumored in diplomatic circles that Sir Julian Pauncefote, British Embassador to the United States, will succeed Lord Dufferin as Kmbassador to France. Sir Julian’s preference for Washington over some of the better-paid European posts is not concealed, but if he should be offered the blue ribbon of the Brtish diplomatic service he would, it is said, be certain to accept it. CALL FOR WARSHIPS. Attack on the Ku Cheng Investigating Commission Feared. FOO CHOW, Crixa, Oct. 5—The Con- suls investigating the Ku Chene massacre have telegraphed for warships.

CHICAGO, ILL., Oct. 5.—Harry Hukill, manager of a local shoe company, is said to be one of the heirs to an English estate valued at $100,000,000. At the beginning of the present century Hukill's great uncle, Samuel Alexander, was engaged in the shipping business be- tween London and the East Indies. The war with France made the business very profitabls, and Alexander amassed great wealth. He, however, lost three ships laden with rich cargoes, which were seized by the French. After peace had been declared Alexander claimed indem- nity, and the French Government de- posited with the Bank of England a princely sum to the credit of the ship- owner. In 1815 Alexander died, bequeathing his property to his brother, Henry Alexander, who had settled at Morgantown, Va. Be- fore the tidings of his brother’s death could reach him Henry Alexander also died, and his family dispersed and were lost sight of. The only relatives that now remain are Mrs. Elizabeth Me- Donald of Carthage, Mo.; Alexander J. Pyle of Nashville, Tenn., and Mrs. Emiline Hukill of Tacoma, Wash., grand children of Henry Alexander, whose daughter married Levy Pyle. The children of Mrs. Hukill, who inherit one-third of the fortune, are Harry Hukill and Mrs. Best of Chicago. A few months ago a London attorney obtained a copy of the original will and traced out every possible heir. —— Knocked Out by Burglars.

Henry Vogelsang, the engineer, who took the Claus Spreckels over the line for the first time, is a resident of this city, and his former associates on the Southern Pa- cific speak of him in the highest terms as anengineer. He is not insensible to the honor of being the first enzineer on the people’s road, and says be feels a tinge of patriotism in his arm when he handles the throttle on the Claus Spreckels. “These three engines are the finest in construction and capable of harder and longer work than any I ever handled in my long experience as an engineer,” said he, “and if they are a sample of the roll- ing stock it will be the finest on any road in America.” Consumption kills more people than rifleballs. It +is more deadly than any of the much dreaded epi- demics. Fully one-sixth of all “Jthe deaths in America are caus- ed by consump- tion, It is a steal- thy, gradual, slow disease. It pene- trates the whole f body. It is in every drop of blood. It seems to work only at the lungs, but the terrible drain and waste go on all over the body. The only way to get rid of consumption is to work on the blood, make it pure, rich and whole- some, build up the wasting tissues, put the body into condition for a fight with the dread disease. The cure of consump- tion is a fight—a fight between sound tissues and the encroaching germs of disease. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery fights on the right side. It drives the germs back, forces them out of the body. It will cure g8 per cent. of all cases of cor- sumption if it is taken during the early stages of the disease. Its first action is to put the stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys into good working order. That makes digestion good and assimilation quick anfi thorough. healthy flesh. That is half the battle. That makes the ‘‘Discovery” good for those who have not consumption, but who are lighter and less robust than they ought to be.
