BS: THE ARMENIAN MASSACRE, Confirmation of the Terrible News Be- ceived From Many Sources. London,.Nov. 19.—The Daily News correspondent in Constantinople says in a dispatch concerning the massacre of Armenians in the Saesoun district: “Sir Philip Currie sent Consul Hall- ward’s report of the incidents at Sas- soun to the Porte in order to indicate the serious nature of the events. The Porte, instead of accepting this in a friendly manner, brusquely denies the facts, asserting that Mr. Hallward’s report is untrue. It was insinuated, or stated outright, that he had encour- aged the Armenians to revolt. This was, of course, ludicrous and absurd. Sir Philip Currie at once informed the Foreign Minister that he should take steps to verify his assertions. His energy paralyzed the Porte, who on Saturday withdrew the allegations against Hallward. The Sultan ordered a commission of three military men and a civilian to make an immediate inquiry. From many sources confir- mation of former reports of the mas- sacre have been received. The utmost endeavors have been made to prevent the facts from becoming known. A number of Armenians who fled towards Trebizond have been ordered to re- turn.” Constantinople, Nov. 19.—The action of Sir Philip Currier, British Ambas- sador to Turkey, has caused conster- nation among the members of the ; Turkish Government, and every ef- ' fort is being made to keep secret the facts of the outrages in Armenia.

Y., Nov. 19. — In the usual sparring exhibition which closeg the programme of the vaudeville show Friday night, Con Riordan, the sParring partner of “Bob” Fitzsimmons, wag knocked out by a right hander from Fitzsimmons which caught Riordag on the angle of the jaw. The accident occurred at 10:30 o'clock, and two physicians worked over Riordan with applications of electricity for two hours without being able to restorg him to consciousness. Riordan breath. ed as if in pain, and the only evidence of life was a twitching of the muscieg when the battery was applied. Fitz and his manager, Capt. Glori, werg greatly alarmed when the true condi. tion of Riordan was made known to them. The blow was a light one, but Riordan’s condition was against him, He died Saturday morning from the effects of the blow. He did not re. cover consciousness after the knock- out. Riordan had been drinking and the blow caused hemorrhage of the brain. Fitzsimmons is badly scared. Immediately after the Riordan inci- dent Joseph Dunfee, a local sparrer, who killed Donovan in a fight at Maple Bay about a year and a halt ago, put on the gloves for a two-round set-to with Fitzsimmons. In the sec- ond round Dunfee landed a right hand blow on Fitzsimmons’s jaw, resulting in a clean knockdown, the first Fitz- simmons declares he was ever given. Shortly after midnight Fitzsimmons was placed under arrest and locked up. Fitzsimmons says: “I did not hit Riordan hard; I only tapped him like that,” striking an officer lightly on the cheek. “When he fell to his knees he said, ‘Call time.’ I did not think I had hurt him, and supposed he on! wanted to escape punishment. I was disgusted at first, and it was quite a long time before I realized how bad he was hurt.” When Fitzsimmons heard of Riordan’s death he burst into tears. THE REQUIEM SERVICE.
