WOULD WITHDRAW © THE DIPLOWATS Gladstone Urges Vigorous Steps Regarding the Suitan. MASSACRES MUST CEASE. Turkey’s Underhand Policy ~ Should Not Be Countenanced by the Powers. LUROPEAN WAR NOT WANTED, But England Is Urged to Act Inde- p:ndently in the Interests of Humanity. LIVERPOOL, Exarany, Sept. 24.—Four thousand persons were present at the mass-meeting heéla in Hengler's circus this afternoon under the auspices of the Liverpool Reform Club to protest against the rule of the Suitan of Turkey and the massacres of Armenians in the Turkish empire. The gathering included well- known men of all political parties, and the audience which greeted Mr. Glad- stone, who was the principal speaker, was a most enthusiastic one. The meeting wag presided over by the Earl of Derby. | Mr. Gladstone was in excellent health and voice and was noticeably active in his movements. Prefacing his address, Mr. Gladstone proposed a resolution setting forth that the meeting trusted that the Government realized the terrible condition in which their fellow Christians in Turkey were placed and that they would do everything | possible to obtain for them a full measure of security and protection. The resolution also declared that the Government would have the fullest public support in whatever steps it might take to put a stop to the atrocities which were being committed in Turkey. Mr. Gliadstone, as beé stepped forward to begin his remarks, was cheered for many minutes. Mr. Gladstone said: “‘The resolution which I have proposed observes the rules of prudence, and does not require, even for the sake of & great end, that we place ourseives in a state of war with united Europe.” Continuing, he ridiculed the idea that a state of war would be the result or conse- quence of England’s acting alone in giy- ing an ultimatum to the Porte. He would not be the one to plunge England into war, but England would not make of her- self a slave to be dragged by the chariot wheels of the other powers of Europe. [Cheers.] England, be said, had a just right to coerce Turkey, and the first step must be the recall of our Embassador from Con- stantinople and the consequent dismissal | of the Turkisb Embassador in London. | [loud and prolonged cheers.] That would not cause a European war. [Cheers and laughter.] England could then tell the Porte that she meant to consider means of enforcing her own just demands. “We should declare,” he continued, “that we would not turn any ensuing war to our own advantage. The concert of Europe is an sugust and useful instru- ment, but it has not usually succeeded in dealing with the Eastern question, which has arrived at a period when it is neces- sary to strengthen the hands of the Gov- ernment by an expression of National opinion. I believe that the con- tinued presence of the Embassadors at Constantinople bas operated as a distinct countenance to the Sultan, who is thas their reco.nized aily. But while urging the Governmert to act, it does not follow that even for the sake of the great object in view Great Britain should transplant Europe into a state of war. hand, however, I deny that England must abandon her right to independent judg- ment and allow herself to be domineered by the other powers. [Cheers.] Mr. Gladstone said the Turkish Govern- ment in 1876 denied the massacres had occurred but that these massacres had since passed into hisiory as facts. The same system of denials is practiced now and will be practiced so long as the pow- ers of Europe shall toierate it. It is to be hoped, Mr. Gladstone de- clared, that the weakness of diplomacy | would be strengthened by this strong na- 1 tion’s voice. Diplomatic representatives in Constantinople of six great powers after the massacre in the Turkish capital brought their courage to the sticking point and addressed a note to the Sultan, in- forming his Majesty that the atrocities should cease, or that otherwise a prejudice would be created against the Turkish Gov- ernment. **L,” continued Mr. Gladstone, ‘‘ask what | would the gullty author of these massacres want more than to confine the matter to a paper war?” [Loud cheers.] Mr. Gladstone said that six great powers of Europe represented at Constantinople had failed to make the Sultan fulfill his) freaty obligations. The continuation of diplomatic relations with the Suitan had not prevented thbe horrible massacres at Constantinople, but it had permitted the Sultan to remain the recognized ally of Great Britain. Gladstone in the course of his peroration said: “‘Let us extract oursélf from our present ambiguous post. Let us renounce our neutrality. Let us, by loyally promising her Majesty’s Ministers our ungrudging and enthusiastic support, induce them by word and deed to show their detestation of acts which may even yet come to such a depth of atrocity as has never vet been | recorded in the deplorable history of human crime.”’ [Loud and prolonged cheers.] Mr. Gladstone’s voice remained strong and clear to the end. The resolutions of- fered by the ex-Premier were adopted unanimously. ? BERLIN, GERMANY, Bept. 24.—A Con- stantinople dispatch to tue Lokal Anzieger says that the diplomats in the Turkish capital bave been instructed to suspend their conferences on the Armenian ques- tion, as direct negotiations are pending between the Porte and the powers. ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Sept. 24.— In a restrained and dignified articleon the Armenian question, the Russia Gazette urges, in the interests of European peace and uvon principles of humanity, a reap- proachment between Russia and Great Britain, It declinesto indorse the suggestion that Great Britain arranged the massacres in On the other | her own intefests, and declares that it be- lieves that the sympathy of the powers is on her side/ It is infavor of decisive pres- sure beingbrought to bear on the Porte, to whose faulty government is largely due the dark side of recent events. The Gazette adds: Strict watchfulness of the interests of Russia-in the East can- not beconsidered by Russian diplomacy as anabsolute impediment to the establish- meng in the near futurs of such an entente with Great Britain and the other powers as will afford a solution of the compli- cated question which unceasingly alarms Europe. . PAT TS CAMPING PAKTY CASUALTY. Young Sam Parr of Sycamore Acoiden- tally Kills Himself. COLUSA, CaL., Sept. 24.—Sam Parr was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon by the accidental discharge of his shotgun. He, in company with his father and sis- ter, Mrs. George E. Stinchtield, and her husband, were on their way home to Syca- more, aiter a three weeks’ outing in the Coast Range Mountains.

A turnin the road was being ap- | proachea. A moment later the engineer on the passenger train could not have | seen the engine approaching and there | would have been a disastrous wreck. The | passenger engine was reversed and came to a standstill. The light engine contin- | ued, but so slowly that when the crash | came only the cowcatchers on the two | engines were wrecked, and neither of them | nor any of the cars ieft the track. The shock threw a number of passengers from their seats, but no one was hurt except Mrs. George Peck of Troy, N. Y., -who had | her knee badly bruised. | The cause of the presence of the engine jon the track on the time of a passenger | train could not be learned. The collision did not delay the passenger train long. Lol Grand Court of Foresters.

Scott and McKinlay of San Fran- cisco Will Speak There To-Night. RAILROAD WORKMEN IN LINE. Stalwart Laborers of the Railroad Shops Are Forming Numerous Marching Clubs. SAOCRAMENTO; CAL., Sept. 24.—To- morrow night the opening gun of the Re- publican campaign will be fired in this city. D. A. McKinlay and Irving M. Scott of San Francisco will occupy the rostrum of the Metropolitan Theater in behalf of McKinley and protection. Although to the world at large and in fact to t e majority of the residents of this city Republicanism during the past few weeksin this localitv has seemingly occupied a restful seat—in reality tuere has been a vast amount of quiet prepara- tory work accomplished. Within a very short time the Republicans of Sacramento will enter the political arena with a rush which will undoubtedly carry everything before it. One of the greatest surprises to the party’s political enemies has been the en- thusiastic spirit which has developed among the hard-handed sons of t0il, who labor in the various departments of the railroad shops in this city. Although fully assured that their political liberty would in no way be interfered with, and that they might wear Bryan badges as large as a mill wheel if they so wished and believed in the windy banner-vearer of free silver, they have on the contrary chosen in the main to enroll themselves beneath the banner of McKinley and scund money. The employes of carshop 5 were the first to come out and declare themselves, and night after night they have repaired to the Capitol grounds after their hard day’s work and drilled for hours in &ll the various marching evolutionspracticed by crack military corps. They are rapidly attaining perfection. Their example very evidently stimulated competition, and now nearly every department of the vasi plant has organized a McKinley and sound-money club and are spending their evenings in. drill practice, so that when the era of torchlight parades dawns on the political horizon the most proficiently beneath the banner of Republicanism will ve the stalwart laborers ot the railroad shops. Nor are the local Assembly clubs atall idle. As yet they refuse to divalge their intentions. The Twenty-first Ascem- bly Republican Club has 454 names upon its roster, every one of whom isa stanch believer in protection. The Twentieth Assembly Republican Club has fully as many members, and the McKinley Club even more, while there are numerous other clubs in process of formation. AT A iy SAN MATEO CONVENTION, | Republicans Indorse McKinley Nominate County Cflicers. REDWOOD CITY, Caw., Sept. 24.—The Republican County Convention was held to-day in this city. W.Z. Price of Red- wood City was chairman and C. M. Morse of San Mateo secretary.

Loud for Congress was indorsed.

The platform also contained a resolution reciting an agreement with Santa Cruz County, made four years ago, providing that the Senatorial nominee should come alternately from each of the two counties comprising the Senatorial district, and that this time it is San Mateo Oounty’s turn. A resolution indorsing A. G. Witter and recommending him to the convention at Santa Cruz as the choice of S8an Mateo County Republicans for State Senator was adopted. The convention then proceeded to ballot for candidates. For Superior Judge Jo- seph J. Bullock of Redwood City and Fred King, son of the late Thomas Starr and York first vice-president. The convention city and Pacific Grove, which is not streng, King, were named. Mr. Bullock received { the nomination. In accepting the numi- nation Mr. Bullock made an eloguent speech, which was frequently interrupted by applause. There were four aspirants for the honor of representing San Mateo County in the next Assembly: H.B. P. Macaulay of Redwood City, F. A. Hornblower, a former Police Judge of Francisco; ex-Assem- blyman James T. O’Keefe and 8. G. Good- hue of San Mateo. After the first ballot Hornblower and Macauley withdrew, the second ballot resulting in Goodhue being selected. George W. Lovie of Redwood City, Howard Q. Tilton of Baden, and John Valladoo of S8panishtown, were nominated for Supervisors. The delegates to the joint Benatcrial convention at Santa Cruz next Saturday are: C. R. Splivalo, A. Gordon, H. Becger, J. B. Snyder, R. H. Jury, H. Dearborn and R. H. Hatch. For County Central Committeamen the hllowlngfl were elected: H. S. Sears, Julius ikerenkotter, C. R. Splivalo, William Neison and H.

MADERA, CaL, Sept. 24.—Mayor Carl- son of San Diego, independent candidate for Congress, spoke here to-night in favor of protection to American fruit-growers and more money for American working- men through his plan for the Government ! 10 erect a public buildingin every county | seat of the Nation where it is'to-day a tenant and thus stop paying rent, which aggregates $10,000,000 a year. The money now paid as rent, he said, could be used to redeem the proposed public improve- ment currency of $500,000,000, thereby avoiding any more bond issues and save paying interest. He says his prospects haye improved since the withdrawal of L. J. Maddux, the straizht Democratic can- digate. Mayor Carlson spoke at Merced last night. ) A Silver Solicitor From Colorado. SANTA ROSA, CaL., Sept. 24.—M. 8. Taylor, the silver orator of Colorado, spoke to a large audience here to-night. The local silver men had left no stone unturned in providing & reception for the eloguent advocate of their favorite doc- trine and were well rewarded for their trouble. The speaker’s view of the finan- cial subject, though quite exhaustive, was moze persuasive than argumentative and | avoked considerable applause. Grant O. Richards was _chairman of the meeting. He introdnced the sveaker in a brief address. Many prominent Democrats and | Populists occupied seats upon the plat- form, and in the audience most all of the Kmminem Republicans of this city might ave béen seen. iy Free Silver scorched.

TROUBLE IN THE ORIEAT The Anti-Foreign Feeling at Foo Chow Causes Much Uneasiness. t Japanese Coasting Steamers Overhaul and Assault Vess:lIs of Other Nations. VANCOUVER, B. C., Sept. 24.—The steamship Empress of India arrived yes- terday from the Orient. Among the pas- sengers is his Excellency Yen Nien, who is intrusted with an i portant diplomatic mission tc Washington by the Emperor of China. Foo Chow was to haye been opened up as a treaty port on the 7th inst. The Shanghai papers loudly praise United States Consul Jarnigan, as it was mainly due to him that the port was opened, the officials having adopted obstruction tac- tics. Numerous assanlts have been made on foreigners by Japanese coasting steamers, and foreign engineers and officers have applied to the Consuls to have a severe penalty iuflicted in such cases. Much uneasiness prevails in the province of Foo Chow owing to the anti-foreign feeling that appears to be developing among the natives. It is said that the ity of Kien Nieng Fu has been placarded since August 24 to the effect that foreign properties will be burned down and all foreigners found therein massacred. Dr. Rigg is the only foreigner there, and Archdeacon Wolfe, on receipt of this in- telligence, took immediate steps to get the Chinese officials in that city to protect Dr. Rigg and his mission party. It is rumored that Li Hung Chang on his return to China will be reinstated in all his former positions, including that of ‘ceroy of Chinli, and that Viceroy ‘Wang, the present holder of the post, is rapidly losing credit in Peking. g ST FOUR MURDEREERS EXECUTED.

Mex., Sept. 24.— Donicio Sandoval, who shot and killed Victoriano Tenorio in this county in July, 1895, was executed here this morning at 8 o'clock before a crowd of several thonsand. He refused to say a word on the scaffold, and was calm and composed to tne last. He was pronounced dead twelve seconds after the drop. Perfecto Padilla, who assassinated John Vipond, a miner, and Rosario Ring, who shot and killea Carlos Mibarri, were exe- cuted this morning at Tierra Amarilla, Still another execution occurred at Ros- well, where Antonio Gonzuales paid the death penalty for the murder ot Charles Van Syecle. Al of these cases have been fought from the 1owest to the highest courts. The Jast appeal was settled on the Sth of this month and the murderers were again sen- tenced. Claims to e Arrested for Manslaughter, PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 24.—*Doc” W. H. Maple, a nickel-in-the-slot machine agent, was arrested to-night for man- slaughter. A week ago his wife, snspect- ing an undue intimacy between himself and a Mrs. Jennie Melcher, a married woman, forced him to write Mrs. Meicher a letter decoying her to an office in the McKey building. Upon the arrival of the unsuspecting woman Maple held her while his wife assaulted her in a most in- h n manner. As a resultof the assault this morning Mrs. Melcher was delivered of a dead child. — e MR GOVERNOR BUDD - STAYS EXECUTION Lease of Life Is Extended for the Cummings Brothers. THIRTY DAYS" RESPITE. Would Have Been Hanged To- Day but for a Legal In- formality. PROLONGING THEIR SUSPENSE. Nothing in the Act to Indicate That | the Mnrder{rs Will RBscape the Gallows. SACRAMENTO, Car., Sept. 24.—Gov- ernor Budd has granted a stay of execu- tion of the death sentence of the Cum- mings brothers, who were 1o have suffered the extreme penalty of the law at San Quentin to-morrow, for a period of thirty aays, or until October 30. This leniency upon the part of the Executive, however, is not at all indicative that the death sen- | tence will not be ultimately carried out, as the sole reason for granting the re- prieve is the failure. of the sentencing Judge to carry out that section of the Penal Code which provides that a copy of all the evidence in capital crimes must be forwarded to the Governor’s office. This was not done in the Cummings brothers’ case, and when applications for mercy were received at the Governor’s office in their behalf the Executive found that the trial testimony was missing and he was unable to properly examine into the mer- its of the case, and to enable him to do so he granted the commutation. —_——— MAKE A CONFESSION. Story Told on What They Believed to Be Their Last Day. SAN RAFAEL, Carn., Sept. 24.—John and Cwmsar Cummings, the two young men now in San Quentin who were to be executed to-morrow for the killing of the Riverside rancher, T. C. Narramore, re- ceived at 3 o’clock this afternoon from Governor Budd a reprieve making the day when they shall be hanged Oc- tober 27. To-day the youths made what they thought was their dying confession. They said that they, with a Mexican, rented the ranch of Narramore, he repre- senting that the hay crop would realize $2000. They zot only $500 for the crop, and the three planned to pay Narramore the money and then rob him of it. Pursuant to their scheme, John paid the money, shortly after which the Mexican and Caesar came in masked, bound Narramore and John and possessed themselves of the money. In -the strusgle the Mexican killed Narramore. Afterward the three were arrested on suspicion. The Mexican turned State’s evidence, accusing the brothers of the murder. Since their sentence was passed the Gov- erpor has received a petition from River- side to which was appended 650 names, among them seven of the jurymen on the case and that of the District Attorney who tried them. The stay of execution was ob- tained from the Governor by the efforts of Prison Director J. H. Wilkins and J. W. Cochrane. There is rumor of petitions in their behalf being circulated in the city. MOORE ARRIES AT HAPY Mrs. Greenwood’s Murderer on the Scene of His Awful Crime. The Prisoner’s Coafession Supported by County Treasurer Gardner's Identification. NAPA, CAL., Sept. 24.—This afternoon, at 1 o’clock, Sheriff McKenzie of Napa, Sheriff Burr and W. E. Shaug of Los Angeles brought Willlam Moore, the self- accused murderer of Mrs. Greeuwood, to Napa. They drove to Napa from Vallejo Junction, having missed the morning’s boat at South Vallejo on the way from the south. There is no doubt among the peo- ple of Napa that the accused man is the murderer. It was noised abroad that he was coming, and a crowd of people were in waiting at the courthouse to witness the landing of the individual against whom an awful cri me rests. There was nogexcitement—just a quiet manifestation of satisfaction that the murderer had been caught. Mr. Green- wood was in the Sheriff's office awaiting the Sheriff's arrival, but he was unable to identify the man when he was brought before him. ihisis not to be wondered at, however, as Mr. Greenwood was not acquainted with Moore, and had only seen him once previous to the night of the murder. County Treasurer George F. Gardner, as soon as he saw the prisoner, exclaimed, “That is the man.” On the way to Napa Moore said he would point out theé Greenwood house. True to his promise, when they reached the house, which is on the county road, Moore saxd, “That is the house.” He also pointed out the place where he had thrown the harness on the night of the murder. This was the very place where Sheriff McKenzie had picked up the®har- nessthe next morring. The officers say there is no doubt of the guiit of the man. Sheriff Burr of Los Angeles, who surely ought to be able to judge, says most em- phatically that Moore is beyond all ques- tion the guilty man. As Moore has con- fessed, all doubt as to his guilt has passed away. Hetried to keep back nothing, but told all, confirming much that came out in the trial of Schmidt, his partner in crime. He iy small in stature, wiry of build and shows in his talk and move- ments great nervous strain and the il effects -of a long “booze.” Before leaving Vallejo it was nemur{ to have him pre- scribed for by a physician ana to give him medicine that would quiet him. st RIVEESIDE'S BRUTAL CRIME. Two :More Indians Arrested for the Mur- der of Mrs. Platt. RIVERSIDE, CAL., Sept. 24.—The bru- tal murder of Mrs. Platt, a teacher on the Pachango Indian reservation in this county, which event occurred nearly two years ago, was brought to notice again to- day by the arrest of a couple of Indians named Frisco Rodriguez and Antonio Trajillo, who it is believed had a hand in the crime. Both these men were arrested shortly after the murder with two others, named Antonio Molido and Francisco Guavish, and all four were at that time charged with the crime. Molido-peached on his pals, telling the whole story of the crime in all its reeking details. This was at the trial of the other three men, held about a year ago. The jury disagreed, however, and when the trials came on again Guavish was tried separately. ‘He was acquitted and the officers then discharged Rodriguez and Trujillo. Mo- lido was given a life sentence in the peni- tentiary, where he now 1s, and Guavish was later convicted of robbery in Los Angeles County and sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary. Kver siuce the discharge of Rodriguez and Trujillo the officers have been diligent in their search for new evidence in the case and the arrest of the two men is the result of their researches. The murder of Mrs. Piatt was terribly brutal. She was taken from her home at midnight and ravished by the four men, according to Molido’s story, after which they dragged her senseless form back to the house. They then fired the house and the body of their victim was consumed. A young girl who lived with Mrs. Platt fortunately es. caped, and it was her story of the mid- night crime that first set the officers on the track of the murderers. B KILLED AT A FARO GAME. Roswell T. Currier, an Innocent Specta- tor, Gets a Fatal Bullet. PORTLAND, Ok., Sept. 24.—Roswell T, Currier, a land speculator of Sacramento, who was in business in Portland and the interior of the State for several years, was killed in a mining camp ten miles from Rossland, B. C., last Saturday night. The information was cbtained from his brother, C. L. Currier of Astoria, Or, who passed through this city to-day en route to the northern mining camp to secure the body. Currier was an innocent spec- tator at a faro game, when the gamblers had a row .ndg began shooting, a stray bullet bitting him in the breast. Currier came here from Sacramento in 1891, en- aged in extensive land speculations, went groka and then migrated to the mines. NEW TO-DAY. Overcoats Given” | Iffixway ! A Ten Days’ Sale.
