THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27. 1896. RETURN OF THE NOTORIOUS O, 1 Patrick Tynan Denies Most Emphatically That He Is a Dynamiter. An Inkling as to the. Mission That Took the Suspect Abroad. HCPEFUL FOR THE IRISH CAUSE Says That in His Recent Trip He Was Successful Beyond His Wildest Dreams. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 26.—Patrick Joseph H. Per: 'ynan, the alleged “no- torious No. 1,” k n conrection with | the Pheenix Park murders, who was ar- Mer, France, st sh detectives and ¢ released, arrived here this rd the North German Lloyd ale. It was a singular recep- tion received at the steamship’s dock. His son, J. Brandon Tynan, went down the bay on the revenue cutter Chandler to meet his father, while his family, consist- ing of a wife and seven children, awaited his arrival at tie pier. There was not an Irishman present to welcome back to his adopted ccuntry. The many Hibernian societies sent no representatives, and the American who nearly sacrificed hislife in enthusiasm for Lis country and its cause for freedom, found only his family ready to greet him. It was, indeed, a hearty welcome they gave him, and it was hard to believe, as | one watched him passionately kiss each of | the children that he could be guilty of the | awful crimes the Enclish detectives have tried to lay at his door. No one has been able to divine just what was Tynan’s mission to Europe this time, but an accident occurred on the steamer during the voyage which seems to give an inkling. The Saale had been out three da; and Tynan’s identity had not been known. He spoke to few pas- sengers, was reserved ia his demeanor and spent most of his time in neérvously At dinner on the third sitting next to J. W. B s of Bos Mr. Beales did not know who the man was, but tried to draw him into conversation, but Tynan had little Finally Mr. Beales blurted out ay, do you know that we have got the great dynamiter aboard?’ Ty- nan’s face flushed. He dropped his knife and fork, and, looking Beales in the face, argrily replied: ““I know of no dynamiter. The only dynamiter I know is my friend Lieutenant i, the dynamite manu- facturer; I have just been over here to see him.” Mr. Beales attached no importance to the remark at the tiore, but later asked for an exchange of cards as a matter of courtesy. “I'"li give him mine when I leave the ship,” said Tynan. When Beales learned the name of his neighbor he fe!t some- what embarrassed, but talked no more dynamite to him during the rest of the voy What Tynan went to Europe to see Zalinski for can only be conjectured. Tynan when asked about this conversa- jion at the ainner-table admitted part of it as true, but denied saying that he was rested in 1n Europe 1o see Zal When a repre- sentative of the United Associatel Pres<es boarded ibe Saale st quarantine Mr. | Tynan and his son were in the smoking- room engaged in earnest conversation. He was a bit nervous in his manner as he greeted the reporter. His appearance showed he had just passed through a g ordeal. ill you explain your mission in Europe?” asked the reporter. " said the famous Irishman, his v, *‘as to my mission I cannot now talk, but I am poing to write a full state- ment. of the wnole affair in a few days for the friends of Ireland.” “Had 1t anything to do with dyna- mite?”’ ‘‘No, it had not,”” replied Tynan, mildly. “[t was somethinz of far greater im- portance than that.” “Was your mission successful?” “Yes, indeed,” responded Tynan, in joyous tones, ‘far beyond my wildest dreams.” “It has been said that you believe in the use of dynamite, is this true?” “I believe,” said Tynan in a slow and measured voice, “in dynamite as George Washington believed in gunpowder.” *‘What effect will your recent experience have upon the Irish canse?”’ ‘‘The cause I espouse is the cause of the whole Irish nation. I will continue to agi.ate it until 1t succeeds, or until I am called to the far beyond.” “Do you know anything about Ivory, Kearney or Haines, who Ecotland Yard suys were mixed up with you in theal- leged conspiracy 7' “You must excuse me,” replied Tynan. “I cannot talk about that now. I will ex- plain all in my statement.” ONE KILLED, 1HREK INJURED, Fatal Leap of a Carriage Horse Ocer an Embankment. AMESBURY, Mass,, Oct. 26.—An acci- dent occurred here by which one person was instantly killed and three others badly injured. Alfred H. Coombs, his wife, a 10-year-old boy named Percy, who lived with them, and another boy, a son of Alfred Morrill, starting from Coombs’ house to drive to Newton toattend church. The horse took fright and sprang over an embankment, tnrowing tuem oat. Mrs. Coombs’ head, striking a tree, was crushed into an unrecognizable mass and her neck was broken. Mr. Coombs was rendered unconscious and will prob- ably die. Tne Percy boy wasinjured in- ternally and has small chances of recov- ery. The Morrill boy was the leastinjured, Coombs was one of the best-known farm- ers in this town. i With a Cargo Ablaze. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 26.—The British steamer Worsley Hall put into vort this morning with a cargo of cotton on fire. She was bound from New Orleans for Havre. She left the former port Octo- ber 16. The captain may be compelled to scuttle the ship to put the fire out. A g o An Eliot Celebration. NEWTON, Mass.,, Oct. 26.—November 28, 1646, the apostle to the Indians, John Eiiot, preached his first sermon to the Eliot Church at Newton vesterday cele- brated th: event. The evening service took the form of a union meeting of all the churches, held in Eliot Church with appropriate addresses by prominent clergymen.

Y., Oct. 26.—A wedding announced for Sunday last at Dr. Hough- ton’s *'Little Church Around the Corner” did not take place, because almost at the last moment the discovery was made that the bridal couple to be were brother and sister. 2 Fifteen years agoa man named Bryan and his wife died in Chicago, leaving two girls—Edna, aged 10, and Maude, five years younger. Their only son, Joseph, had run away from home & year previ- ously. The little girls -were bright and pretty, and Mrs, Alice Townsend, the wife of a variety-show manager, adopted them. In course of time they went on the stage as the Harvey sisters, A yearago Edna married a Mr. Melrose of Baltimore and retired to private life. Maude went to London, where she found employment at the Athambra. There she met Peggy Prime and her husband, Joe Allen. Maude and Joe Allen loved each other at first sight. Miss Prime objected and finally obtained a divorce. Alien and his new love came to the United States in- tending to marry. They obtained work with a company now playing in Brook!yn. Miss Harvey announced her approaching nuptials to all her friends. Mrs. Melrose came from Baltimore to see her. sister married, On Friday Allen entertained them with stories of Lis early life. He told them he ran away from his home in Chicago when a lad of 10 years because his father beat him, and had worked as a shoeblack, nswsboy and other lowly occupations until he rose ana finally became a variety aetor. Mrs, Melrose asked him if he had seen his parents since he became prosperous and be replied that he had written to in- quire about them and had learned that both ware dead. “Their name wasn’t Allen, you know,”’ he saia, “it was Bryan.” A few questions hurriedly put and answered discovered to Mrs. Melrose that in her intended brother-in-law she had found a long lost brother. The invita- tions to the wedding were recalled and Dr. Houghton was notified that his ser- vices would not be required. FORTY MILLION ACRES Title to That Vast Tract of Land Involved in a Lawsuit. The Coatest of the Atlantic and Pacific Against Mingus in the Su- preme Court. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 26.—The title to forty million acres of land is in- volved in a case pending in the Supreme Court of the United States, wherein the United States to-day asked leave to file a brief because of its concern in the ques- tions presented. The title of the caseis the Atlantic and Pacific Raiiroad Com- pany vs. Robert Mingus et al, {from the Suvreme Court of the Territory of New Mexico. The litigation was over the title to a tract of land situated within the lim- its of that part of the grant originally made in 1866 to the Atlantic and Pacific ailroad Company and dec!ared to be for- feited to the United States by the act of 1865, because the road co-terminous there- with had not been constructed in accord- ance with the conditions of the grant. The Supreme Court of the Territory at- | firmed Mingus’ title to the land and the railroad company appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, It is claimed by the railroad that by an act passed in 1881, Congress expressly au- thorized the company to morigage the land grant, and that bhaving been done Congress could not forfeit the land at least until afier the time when that mortgage became due, which time has not yet ar- rived. Joseph Call, assistant counsel for the United States, in his brief stated that the land in question comprices all that part of the grant lying between Isleta Junction and Springfield, Mg., and be- tween the Colorado River and the Pacific Ocean, forty out of the fifty million acres contained in the original grant. If the claims of the railroad company should be sustained, all of the patents issued by the United States, and entries allowed to set- tlers for parts of such lands since 1886, would be null:fied. He contends that the forfeiture act must be upheld, and the judement of the Territorial Court, in favor of Mingus' title, affirmed. e E MASSACHUSEITS TRIAL OF Tud No Defects Found During the Cruise of the Battleship. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 26 —The United States battleship Massachusetts, just returned from her final trial trip, has no superior in the world, Her perfor- mance on trial has exceeded that of the Indiana. The report of the inspection board, of wkich Commodore Dewey is chairman, and which ran her for forty- eight hours at sea last week, reached the Navy Department to-dav. un October 22 she ran thirteen knots by the log for two hours, her engines averaging a little more than 101 revolutions, developing 5044 horse power. During the succeeding forty-eight hours’ run all guns were fired on the level and at maxiroum elevation with service charges, the structure of the ship and gun- mounts showing ample strength and free- dom from any injury or strains. The board found that upon the trial no weakness or defecy appeared in the hull, machinery, fittings 6r equipment due to defective workmanship or mat erials. e ms A Catholic Church Celebration. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 26.—The celebration of the semi-centennial anni- versary of the organization of the German Catholic Church of St. Mary, Mother of God, was the occasion of an unusual gath- ering of church dignitaries, Mass was celebrated by Cardinal Gibbons and an ad- dress was made by Archbishop Chapelle oi Santa Fe, a former priest of tne church. Mgr. Martinelli, the new Papal Delegate to the United States, was in attendance upon the services. ped 2y SRR Can Appoint Legislators. LITTLE ROCK, ARk., Oct. 26.—The Supreme Court in an opinion rendered by Justice ‘Riddick holds that the Governor has the right to appoint members of the Legisiature where vacancies have been caused by death, resiznations or other causes. This is said to be the first case of this character decided in' any State in the country. ELnh el Dryden’s First but Fatal Mistake. 8T. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 26. — Engineer Dryden, to whose lapse of memory is charged the responsibility of the terrible wreck on the St. Louis and San Francisco road yesterday, was located this afternoon. He is with friends in this city. Dryden Indians at Nonantum, now a portion of the city of Newton, The members of the l had been an engineer fifteen years, and this was his first mistake. v CHICAGD FATED FOR BIG FIRES In Less Than One Hour Over a Million Goes Up in Smoke. Destruction of Elevators in the Goose Island District in Short Order. PERIL OF THE FIRE LADDIES. While Fighting the Flames They Narrowly Escape a Terribie Death. CH1CAGO, ILL., Oct. 26.—In less than one hour at noon to-day fire destroyed $1,200,000 worth of property on the north branch of the Chisago River, in a dilapi- tated locality known as Goose Island. The Pacific grain elevators A and B, owned by the Chicago ana Pacific Elevator Com- pany, were completely destroyed and sev- eral frame dwellings edjoining were swept away in the avalanche of flame. There were more than 1,000,000 bushels of wheat stored in the two great elevators. The loss of that is estimated at $861,000, on corn $34,800 and a small Joss on oats. The loss on the buildings and machinery is placed at nearly $300,000. Insurance fully covers the losses. Superintendent Perry said the fire started 1n elevator B in the south part, and he believed it was caused by sparks from a passing tugin the river. Noem- ploye of the company knows anything more definite about the origin of the de- struction. No more dangerous spot for a big fire to start could be found in the city. Close to the burned structures are the Armour ele- vator, the biggest in the world, the im- mense building of Hale and Curtis and | the extensive docks and sheds of the Cres- cent Coal Company. Burning brands from the cataract of flaming grain and falling roofs and walls ignited the roof of the malthouse every few minutes and a dozen leads of hose were needed to save the building fronide- struction. When the first of the twenty- five engine companies arrived on the scene a water attack was at once made on the boiler-room, where the fire was re- ported to have started, but in a few min- utes the firemen were forced by blinding steam and fierce heat to beat a hasty re- treat, leaving behind them part of their hose equipment. Five firemen of another company, who were fighting the blaze from the roof of the elevator office, a one-story brick build- ing, had a narrow escape from death. The roof they were on fell in by the building catching fire underneath them and they fell with it before a word of warning could be given. Fortunately the firemen seized the hose and the walls projecting a li:tle above the collapsed roof they hung over the fiery furnace until rescued by their comrades. A hundred or more freight cars on the Milwaukee and St. Paul road were rescued from beneath the flaming pillars at the | peril of the railroad men who coupled the cars, and then some had to be left. L i INCENDIARISM AT CARSON. Third Attempt to Destroy the Public Sohool Building. CARSON, NEv., Oct. 26.—An attempt was made by an unknown person at 8 o’clock last evening to burn the public school building, but the blaze was discov- ered in time, and by the prompt work of the firemen the building was saved. The | incendiary entered a rear room by a win- dow, which was open, and buiit a small fire in a corner, throwing kerosene on the walls. This is the third attempt to burn the building. REPRIMANDED AND PROMOTED. Viceroy Li Hung Chang Seems to Have a Faculty for Getting Humiliated. PEKING,Cuixa,Oct. 26.—Li HungChang has been reprimanded for having entered the summer palace for the purpose of pay- ing a visit to the Dowager Empress with- out observing the formalities usual upon such occasions. LONDON, Excraxp, Oct. 26.—Telegrams received here from Peking announce the appointment of Li Hung Chang as Chi- nese Minister of Foreign Affairs. The an- nouncement has caused a great deal of comment here. ' The St. James Gazette says that Li Hung Chang, upon leaving Southampton, told the reporters that his ability to carry out reforms which he desired established in China depended upon his retura to power after he got home. The success of his mission to Europe is consequently gauged by his appoiniment to the Foreign Ministry. —_— WORKING THE WHEAT MARKET, Business in ths Chicago Piton a Much Eeduced Seale. CHICAGO, IrL., Oct.26.—The netappre- ciation in the price of wheat to-day was 1 cent, but the market was nervous and ina position to be “‘worked.” Business was on a much reduced scale, not only in wheat, but in the other grains and provisions. In a general way it was a buil market with- out bull news. As is usual on Monday the trade had important statistics, but they did not leave their mark. There was a disposi- tion to follow leaders or guess what the market might do next regardless oi nat- ural influences, and this developed a scalp- in% trade. he December options in wheat opened at 697¢ cents and the highest price for the day was 7114 cents. The lowest figures were 6914 cents, Shortly before the clos- ing hour news came of the burning of the Pacific elevators and this caused the mar- ket to be firm, the final price being 0% cents. It cannot be said that there was any ex- citement during the day’s business, for the reason, perhaps, that there was noth- ing in the information received to warrant it. The foreign cable reports indicated a decline of one penny, and this had its ef- fect in the bear campaign, but altogether it was simply a scalping movement. L —— FREE TO ALL STEAMERS, Completion of Ewxten. New Docks at New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 26.—The ex- tensive new docks and port facilities of the Iilinois Central Railway at the head of Louisiana avenue having been com- vleted they will be dedicated with impos- ing ceremonies on Wednesaay next. They honor oi Stuyvesant Fish, president of the railway company. Representatives of all the commercial bodies will take part in the dedication. The complet;, of these docks is the be- ginning of n&at effort woich the rail- road will make to bring European ship- ments via this city for Chicago, 8:. Lons, Cincinnati and all Western citil The wharfage will be absolutely free to all steamers landing at the docks with freight for shirment by the Illinois Central, and sucii & saving in port charges, it is be- heved, will bring a great bulk of traftic this way. et ol e CALIFORNIA’S MOHAIR FLEECE. Stir Caused in London by the Exhibit of C. P. Bailey of San Jose, NEW YORK, N. Y. Oct. 26.—The Times says: A stir has been caused in Eng- land by some mohair fleece grown in Cali- fornia, and it is stated that if fleeces of the same uniform quality can be grown there n any amount the trinmph of the United States asa mobair producer will be as- sured. United States Consul Meeker at Bradford, Yorkshire, England, writes on this point as follows: “There has been on exhibition at this Consulate for the past week an American- grown mohair fleece forwarded to Brad- ford by C. P. Bailey of San Jose, Cal. The fleece is that of a two-year-old graded doe. The quality of the hair has been the won- der of all who have seen it. - It has been closely examined by several of the leading mobhair dealers and importers, all of whom have expressed the highest opinion of it. ‘‘One of them, Jonas Whitley, ex-Mayor of Bradford, said: ‘I have now in iy warehouse about $200,000 worth of mohair, both Turkey and Cape, and I am entirely sincere when I state that there is nota better fleece in the lot. I will buy all the American mobhair like that that may be offered me at the market price. Should it uniformly equal this fleece I do not know but what I would pay more than the market price. It is remarkable in being most free from kemp, and I do not know that I have ever handled a ficece wirth so little kemp in it. The amount of noils is also less than usnal, which is very important, as it leaves more weight in long staple to go into tops. I say unhesi- tatingly that the sample tleece is as good mobair as is grown.””’ NEEDED FOR THE NAV, Sixty-Nine Million Dollars the Estimate for Building and Arming Vessels. Some Interesting F.gures Are Sub- mitted by the Naval Ordnance Bureau. WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 26.—The Naval Ordnance Bureau reguires over $69,000,000 next year, of which $7,722,796 is needed for the armament of new vessels already authorized. The annual report of Cominodore Sampson, chief of ordnance, shows seventy-one big breech-loading rifles have been completed this year, and that more than half of the required smaller guns are now 1n use. The diffi- culty of securing a proper brown prismatic powder is shown by the fact that while 699,847 were accepted last year, 835,700 were rejected. Efforts have therefore been increased to perfedt smokeless powder manufacture. Powder contractors have delivered over 2000 tons of plates up to Octover 1, of which 1705 tons were Har- veyized. Tne average cost per ton, which in 1895 was $611 26, was this year $551 72. Notice is taken of the first foreign orders for armor ever placed in this country, Russia having contracted with the Carne- gie and Bethlehem works for 1000 and 3000 tons respectively. In referring to the delivery of the new small arm, of which 10,000 have been or- dered, the very small caliber of which has | been criticized, Commodore Sampson de- clares that *‘at the present moment no na- tion having any pretensions to military or naval power has in contemnplation any other change in the caliber of its smail arms than a still further reduction.” The navy now has 112 Whitehead tor- pedoes in use—186 more being held in re- serve for nmew ships and torpedo-boats. All the six-inch rifles in the service are being chanead to rapid-fire weapons. As inslanclng the remarkable prompt- ness with which vessels on the home sta- tion can have their explosive stores re- lenished it is said that the Stiletto left Newport one morning and delivered 4000 unds of smokeless powder to Fort Wadsworth, N. Y., and South Amboy, N. J., within twelve hours. The burean has ordered 1,000,000 rounds of ammuni- tion for the new small arm. AT SEVENTEEN UF THE CREW LOST. Zhe British Steamer Taif Foundered at Sea. COLOMBO, Ceyrow, Oct. 26.—The Brit- ish steamer Taif, Lemere, from Mauritius for Bombay, foundered 2t sea September 24, Seventeen of the crew and passengers, all natives of India, were drowned. —_— . BHIP COLUMBIA WRECKED, Crew ' of the Lost TFessel Landed at Buesnos Ayres. LONDON, ExG., Oct 26.—The British ship Columbia, Captain Bull, from Swan- sea, May 2, for Portiand, Or., avhich put into Rio de Janeiro, July 1 (before re- ported). and sailed from the latter port Augnst 23 for her destination, has been wrecked off Cape Blanco, Patagonia. Her crew was landed at Buenos Ayres. No date 1s given. Counsel for the Castles. LONDON, Exe., Oct. 26.—Sir Frank Lockwood, Q. C., M. P., who recently vis- ited the United States in company with Lord Chief Justice Russell, has been re- tained to assist Sir Edward Clark in de- fense of Mr. and Mrs. Castle of San Fran- cisco in their coming trial at Clerkenwell sessions upon the charge of nhoinlimng. The sessions open November 2. It isex- pected that the Castles’ case will be heard within a fortnight thereafter, A Dia Andrus Commit Suicide? YONKERS, N. Y., Oct. 26.—There is absolutely no doubt that the Yornkers police incline to the belief that H. J. An- drus, who was killed by an explosion in his office, committed suicide. The fact that the Jeft hand was blown off and that thereisa fragment of pine board about two feet long with a portion of the bone ana sinews of the arm wedged in it in the. possession of Police Captain Mangin indi- cate that Andrus had the bomb in his hand when it exploded. Murdered on the Sidewalk, COLUMBUS, Omro., Oct. 26.—Charles Hummel, a tailor, aged 60, was found dead on the sidew: on Bouth Spring street with several gashes in his face and head. Charles Davis, a colored man, has been arrested on the charge of murder and the police are looking for Charles Lee, who is believed to have aided Davis in the cr.me. et A Rambdusch’s Body Buried. JUNEAU, Wis,, Oct. 26.—The body of W. T. Rambuscii,_absconder and suicide, was buried here yesterday. All doubts as to the identity of the body were dispelled will be called the Stuyvesant docks in | by a public inspection of the corpse. THO THOUSHND SLAINBY TURKS Fiendish Cruelties Practiced in the Massacre at Egin. Large Numbers of the Bodies of Victims Cast Into the Euphrates. CHRISTIAN HOMES DESTROYED No Kurds in the Place ani So the Suitan’s Own People Must Shoulder the Blame. BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 26.—A letter dated Harpoot, Eastern Turkey,- S8eptember 29, has beén received in Boston as follows: “*All the letters which I bave sent agree in fixing the estimate at about 2000 as the number killed in the Egin massacre. ‘‘More women and children in propor- tion seem to have suffered this fate than in any previous massacre of which Iknow. Many of the dead were left in the streets for'days as food for dogs and large num- bers were thrown into the Euphrates. “The bodies have been seen floating down the river forty or fifty miles below the city. In some cases whole families have been obliterated. Exact statistics, of course, cannot be given, but it is feared that 2000 is an underestimate. = There is an estimated popiilation of between 5000 and 6000 Christians.”” The letters give the number of houses at 1100, and of these it is said only about 150 are left. This carnage lasted from Tuesday to Thursday. All the testimony concurs in showing that the massacre was official and that it was wholly without reason. There was no disturbing element except in the cases of a few officials. “The Vali,” continues the letter, “‘and the military commander were in the tele- graph office here most of the time from the beginning to the end. As fer as I can learn, the people made no resistance whatever and no Turks were killed except ibree possibly later in the division of the spoils. There were no Kurds in the place. The work was doné by the citizens and solaiers. The massacre has extended to several of the Egin villages, but we have no details. “The local government is constant in its assurance that no further massacres will take place in this region, and a good deal of energy is shown 1n restraining the tur- bulent elements. Five people were killed in the Aghum villages, one of them a priest, but the timely arrival of soldiers prevented another massacre. After all that has happened it is not surprising that Christians have no sense of security and that they are unnerved by fear. The destitution of the coming winter threat- ens to be almost as great as last year.” gt BURIAL OF THE BOUDIES. Health Worries Turkey More Than Cruel Massacres. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 26.—A let- ter from S. G. Zavatizino, United States Sanitary Inspector at Constantinople, ad- dressed to Surgeon-General Wyman of the Marine Hospital service, gives a striking idea of the recent massacres in that city. He writes: A commission has been appointed in consequence of an irade or imperial order, the mission of which commission was to ascertain if the corpses of the massacred people have been buried according to the rules of hygiene and have not enaangered | public health. Theabove-mentioned com- mission, the members of which are méstly members of the International Board of Health, have visited the Armenian.ceme- tery at Shisley, where they saw three large graves, one of which was forty-five by five meters and nearly two meters deep. The two other graves were smaller, about eight by three meters each, where several hun- dred corpses were buried. The above-mentioned commission has not visited the other Armenian cemeteries of Constantinople, where the massacred people have been buried. “In a sitting of the sanitary commission the question whether the prison will not endanger the public health of the capital was discussed. It has been said, for in- stance, that the arrested Armenians are so many and so thronged in -the prisons that the poor prisoners are obliged to stay on foot all the time they are in prison, being unable to lie down on account of the lack of room. I'will be aole to state the sanitary condition of the prisons after the cemmission presents its report. If what has been said is true such a conai- tion may cause the outbreak of infectious diseases. There are already several cases of typhoid fever, but every year at this season this disease exists. What a physi- cian can see now are frightened patients suffering from the effects of what they saw during the 26th and 28th of last Au- gust, when all along the streets of Galata men armed with swords were striking liv- ing men or dead bodies, a dreadful and terrific sight.” % Wb st ity REFUGEES ARE WELCOMED, Prominent Christians Offer Shelter to the Armenians. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 26.—Carnegie Hall was filled to-night by 4000 persons who attended the welcome meeting to the Armenian refugees, held under the auspices of the’ Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, the National Ar- menian Relief Committee, the Armenian Relief Association and the Salvation Army. The Salvationists turned out in force. Commander Booth-Tucker pre- sided in the absence of Rev. T. De Witt ‘I'almage. Among those on the platform were Dr. Grace Kimball, Ira Sankey, Con- sul Mrs, Booth-Tucker and about fifty of the refugees. Letters of regret from Mayor Strong, Right Rev. Bishop Satterlie and others, and a cablegram from Mr. Gladstone to Dr. Talmage were read. The cablegram ‘was as follows: Irejoice in the rescue of any faction of the Armenians from the fangs of the great assas- sin. So long as the inaction of the powers continues the situation will be shameful as wel as sad, but the deeds are recorded both in heaven and before man, and constantly accu- mulating horzors may yet work the downfall of thatcrying iniquity known as the Turkish empire. GLADSTONE. Commander Booth-Tucker then intro- duced Dr. Grate Kimball, ¥ho spoke in part as follows: “I have come from the scene ot the cruelties infiicted upon the Armenians; Iam an eye-witness of their NEW 70-DAY—CLOTHING.

CONSTANTINOPLE, TurkEY, Oct, 26.— ‘While Monsignor Bartholomew, who on August 9 last was selected as locum tenens of the Armenian patriarch, Mat- thew Izmirdian, was driving through the streets to-day he was attacked by four men who attempted to murder him. The escort accompanying Monsignor Barthol- mew seized the would-be assassins and turped them over to the police. An ex- amination elicited the fact that one of the prisoners was an Armenian officer. Monsignor Bartholomew has excited the hostility of the Armenians by his subser- vience to the Bultan, and the attempt to murder him is undoubtedly due to this feeling. He is highly esteemed by the Turks for his Mohammedan sympathies. oA LARGE SEIZURE OF BOMBS.

On his way back he learned that the Seamore battalion was engaged with the rebels. He therefore hurried to the scene of the fighting and took part in the combat. The rebels made desperate efforts to carry the Svanish position and thus open the way for their return to the hills, but they were compelled to retreat, closely followed by the Spaniards. A series of bloody. fights occurred during the two days of the pursuit. The rebels left sixty-one dead on the field, but i%is said that their losses were much heavier than this.
