MOSLEMS WITHOUT MERCY They Pisa and Execute Dntoherles with Unparalleled Crncty-The Powers Must Interior to Save the Ex termination of Christians. Boston. Nov. IS. Reliable corrc spondence received in Boston from Constantinople states that the attitude of the Moslems in Marash at the end of October was bo menacing tihat the heads of the Christian sects called to gether on the governor asking special measures of protection. Oir Friday the governor having; paid no attention to this request, the Moslems attacked the Christians, wounding quite a number and causing a general flight of all parties to their homes. The heads of the Christian sects then made a new petition for protection, this time in writing;, and addressed separately to the governor and the commander of the troops. Still nothing; was done to check the Moslem and a general assault was made on the Christian quarter, and a large number of Christians were killed and wounded. The Armenian bishop and the Ar menian Catholic bishop and the Prot estant rtastors sent a collective tele gram saying that, the. slaughter was stui going on ana begging for something- to be done to stop it. The Turks say that the reason of the massacre is the assassination of four police by the people of Zeltoun, .twenty mjles front Marash. The worst of .It is that the sultan and pashas sill conslderthia crime In another place as sufficient to justify the massacre in Marash. There Is not a doubt that the mas sacre was ordered from here. The tone of the remark among the staff at the Sultan's palace has been all along that the Armenians shall be killed be fore the reforms can be executed. Noth ing has been done in any place to pun ish the crlmnals, but In all the places where the massacres have occurred great numbers of Armenians have been arrested as though those who escaped had committed crime In escaping. You must not believe one of the stories that are sent out by the Turks about con flicts at these plates where massacres occur. No conflict occurs. There may be in some cases a reason in the con duct of Armenians elsewhere for in dignation, but In every case so far when a massacre occurs it is a cold blooded, deliberate affair, gotten up separately from any alleged cause. The Powers Must Aet. Unless the powers Intervene shortly in a way that will compel the Sultan to order the massacres to cease there is no knowing1 where the matter will end. The most Infamous falsehoods as to attacks of Armenians upon Turkish women and children are being dili gently circulated in the city and in the country in order to Are the hearts of the Moslems and the government Is open ly arming or favoring the arming of the Moslem populace, while searching Ar monlans. to take away even their Jack kniv'es lest some Moslem should be hurt when the massacre is undertaken. The effervescence here against the Sultan is taking more form. There was some revolt of the Albanian bodyguard of the sultan and a fight of some im portance in the palace grounds. A num ber of the Moslem patriotic committee attempted to kill the minister of ma rine. They had previously ordered him to resign on pain of death. It Is said that the minister was only wounded, but it Is very hard to get accurate in formation of any of these things. The situation is going to be worse be fore it is better. The feeling is that an American man-of-war should be sent to Beyrout, one to Smyrna, leaving at Alexanaretta the Marblehead, now there, one to this city, and. If possible, one to the Black Sea coast. Washington, Nov. 13. Secretary Ol- ney was oloseted with President Cleve land for an hour this morning. On his return from the white house he stated to the United Press representative that ne naa received no dispatch from Min ister Terrell confirmatory of the star tling story transmitted from Constanti nople to the Cologne Gaxette In regard to the massacre of missionaries In Tur key. - . Berlin, Nov. 13 A dispatch to the Cologne Gazette from Its correspond ent In Constantinople says that all of ine unristian and Armenian teachers between Erzoum and Treblzond have been massacred. LOSS OF THE RUNG PAI. Particulars Concerning the Destrnetion of the Chinese Croft. San Francisco, Nov. 13. Meagre par ticulars of the loss of the steamer Kung Pal, off Klnshow Bay, were re ceived by the steamer Coptic. The Kung Pal belonged to the China Mer chants' Steam Navigation company. She blew up when on a voyage from Tien Tsln to Klnchow. She was carry ing troops, to. the number of about a thousand, and had six foreign officers and one foreign passenger on board. Out of this number nine Chinese and two foreigners only are reported safe. All the rest seem to have perished. . The Kung Pal was fifteen years old, having been built In Lelth 1n 1880 and It had long been notorious that her boil ers were In a dangerous condition.

YALE'S NEW SCHEME. A fteeoad Foot Rail ttlab Will Pis Prlnee tote's Game, c . New Haven, Conn., Nov. 13. The Tale foot ball management have start ed a new scheme .to develop the eleven for the Princeton gaune. A captain has been appointed (or the second eleven and ha will make hla men play exactly the game Princeton played against Harvard and Cornell. - As Princeton has been playing strictly the same kind of a game all the fall it is' the opinion at Yale that she cannot com pletely change her style of play in time to meet Yale, and the Yale 'Varsity, drilled by the second team In this same kind of work, should be better able to defeat it. Alex. Brown, the- oarsman, and a prominent candidate for tackle, will be the captain of the second eleven this fall. PHILADELPHIA LEXOW. Additional Testimony Is Introduced in tho Investigation of tho Quaker City Municipal Affairs. Philadelphia. Nov. 13. The State Sen atorial committee, which Is Investigat ing the municipal affairs-of Philadel phia, continued Its session this after noon. Addison F. Bender, who during the past ten days has been examining the cleaning of asphalt paved streets in Philadelphia on behalf of the citizens Municipal Association, was the first witness. He told at some length of the insufficient force employed In doing the work, which la contrary to the specifi cations of the contracts. The witness further testified to the unsatisfactory manner In which several streets are be. lng paved. Bernard Bowen, who class ed himself as a practical pavlor, whose occupation as walking delegate of the National Pavlors and Rammers asso elation, testified that it would cost $4 per yard to pave the streets according to the contracts, and that at tne present price at which the work has beenza ward' ed ($2.87 per cubic yard) the contracts could not be carried out. He told of the inferiority of paving blocks used in Philadelphia to those used in New York Mr. Bowen testified to having sent sev eral sworn complaints to the authorl ties regard. ng inferior paving, but that tne complaints availed nothing. Dennis Mahoney, a contractor, stated that no "fitted" Belgian paving blocks were used in Philadelphia, as reaulred by law, only rough paving blacks being utilized. Mr. Mahoney created a slight ripple of laughter when he declared that "fitted" paving blocks were used In New York and Boston because no other kind would be tolerated. The wit ness then testified to the non-fulfiill-ment of contracts as regards the re moval of ashes, the cleaning of streets and the cremation of garbage. John Maneely. an ex-lnsoector of the collection of garbage, told of the feed ing of the garbage to hogs In Dela ware county, in May and June last, by the American Incineration company and the United States Fuel and Manu facturing company, instead of cremat ing It. The refuse, the witness con tinued, was also fed to cattle In other places. Charles A. Richardson, who Is affili ated with the Citizen's Municipal asso ciation, testified that the Davina- of streets by the street rallways( the thor- ougnrares occupied by the railways) Is done Irrespective of the laws, and he also related an ineffectual interview which he and other members of the as sociation had in 1893 with the citv au thorities in this respect. Mr. Richard son referred to the liberal profits of the Philadelphia street railways, which ract lea mm to believe that , the com panies should pave the highways as the ordinances stipulate. At 4.10 p. m. the committee adjourned until Thursday. Nov. 21. KEEPS HIS WORD. Wanamaker Pays a Debt That the Re publican Committee Repudiated. . Indianapolis, Nov. 13. John Wana maker, ex-postmaster general, has made his word good by sending his per sonal check to W. T. Durbtn, of Ander son, for 110,000. Just before the elec tion of 1892, when Mr. Wanamaker was passing through this city, the State Republican committee asked him for 310,000. Wanamaker told them to ad vance It and he would see that the na tional Republican committee repaid them. On this assurance Durbln, then an officer of the committee, borrowed $10 -000 for campaign use. The national committee repudiated the debt. Thus after three years and considerable pres sure from this end of the line Mr. Wanamaker has made good his guar antee. LYNCHING IN GEORGIA. Negro Assailant of a Little Girl Hanged and Riddled with Ballets. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 13. Homersvllle, Ga., comes to the front with another lynching. Lewis Jefferson, the liegro who last Thursday night attempted to assault little Miss Wilson Frobel, after having been pursued by a determined posse, was captured and placed in Jail. He made a full confession. While he was being taken before the magistrate at Argyle for a committal trial, the officer In going through a thicket near . town was suddenly at tacked from behind by parties un known, was overpowered and the cul prit taken off and hanged by the neck and the body riddled with bullets. DECISION ON BEANS. United States Supremo Court Says They Are Vegetables snd Not Seeds. Washington, Nov. 13. The United States Supreme court decided officially that beans are vegetables. The ques tion arose In the case of Hyman Sons and others against the collector of the port of New York. The plaintiffs sought to recover duties paid upon beans un der the vegetable classification, claim' lng that they should be admitted free as seeds. Chief Justice Fuller read the opinion of the court, holding that as beans are regarded as vegetables by common usage they should be so considered by customs officials. i THEY SAW THE BROWNIES.

KAILKOADS GIVE FREE PAKE Tho Miraculous Cares Imputed to Schlat ter Bring tho Deaf, Dumb, Halt and Blind from All Sections Seek ing a Ucallng Touch. Denver, Nov. 13. At the Union Depot yesterday the scenes rivaled those at the Grotto of Lourdes, so graphically depleted by Zola. Every train that ar rived, from the first break of day to midnight, was filled with its quota of sick, feeble and emaciated Invalids who have come for treatment by Schlatter, the New Mexico healer. This is the last week of the healer in Den ver and the visitors are afraid that when he reaches a larger city it will be next to impossible to approach him for the laying on of hands. Cripples are as numerous as the able bodied among the travelers, and the lower hotels are turning away guests who desire to be within reasonable dis tance of their goal when the Bun rises In the morning and they get ready to take their position in the almost end less line that haunts the healer's neigh borhood. Cold weather does not deter them from gathering in the early hours of the morning, and the residents of the vicinity do a thriving trade in hot bricks, and coffee to cheer the pilgrims, lllg I'nion Paelfio Delegation. One special train arrived last even ing carrying 300 people from along the line of the Union Railway company, to whom free passes had been given by the management, so confident are the railway men in tho supernatural heal er. A circular had been issued by tho Union Pacific announcing that the train would leave Omaha Saturday night, and that all who suifered among the road s employes would be carried to Denver free of charge. When they arrived here last evening the Interior of the depot resembled a hospital, for they came with broken limbs, distorted arms, and fractures of various mem bers that defied the best surgical skill of the railway company. They were provided with lodgings in the local ity where Schlatter holds forth during week days, and tomorrow the pilgrims win return to their homes in Nebraska. It Is stated that this extraordinary faith of a corporation Is due to the re markable cure effected in the case of the wife of General Manager Dlckln son, who came for treatment In a pri vate car and stood in line all day like the most ordinary citizen. Her grati tude for relief is attested by this ex tension of free transportation. She was a sufferer from a deafness that de prived her of the pleasures of life. No medical or surgical aid proved effect. Ive, and at last she consented to come to the healer. When she departed she said she felt better already, and her mends noticed an improvement, but the healer told her she was' not to ex pect an instantaneous cure. ' Superintendent Dickinson Is so over' joyed that he has Issued a general or der that as fast as the men can be spared from the line or the shop, they are to be allowed to come with their sick to Denver and return as speedily as possible, that others may take their piace in tne line bexore the New Mex ican Messiah. They were scattered all over town last night in the cheap loaging-nouses. BASE BALL P0W-W0W. Magnates of the National, Eastern and Western Leagues Meet la New York Powers Wants Representation. New York, Nov. 13. The annual fall meeting of the National Base Ball League was commenced to-day at the firtn Avenue Hotel. 1 The board of directors went into ses slon first and got through the execu tlve business. The treasurer's account was approved and accepted. A num ber of appeals from players asking to nave lines innicted during the past sea son remitted, were refused. A letter was received from John M, Ward, ex-captaln of the New York base ball club, asking that his name be taken from the reserve list of players, as he has retired permanently from base ball, and keeping his name on the reserve list Injures him in his present profession. The matter was referred to the National board meeting on the first or January. Baltimore was declared the winner of tne championship of 1895. The question of fines, umpires and Sunday playing were aiscussed, but no decisions were arrived at and they re main in exactly ine same poslton as be fore. The meeting then adjourned until 11 o clock to-morrow morning, when the first business to be taken up will be the Harry vv riB.it memorial matter. A very important deal was made dur ing the afternoon. Billy Nash, the cap tain and third baseman of the Boston team, was exchanged for Billy Hamil ton, the outfielder of the Philadelnhia club. There were rumors of other deals but this was the only one consummated. Jack Doyle, ex-captaln and ex-manager of the New Yorks, was In great de mand, but Manager Irwin thought that If he WkS considered such a prize by others e might also prove useful to the New Yorx and no deal was made. There was a very strong delegation from the Eastern and Western Leagues in the hotel to-day. President P. T. Powers and his confreres will apply for representation on the National board. The board has the Jurisdiction over all matters concerning the minor leagues and the latter think they should have a personal representation when matters concerning them are discussed. SCHULER'S AWFUL CRIME. Murders Ills Wife and Elght-Yesr-Old DsMghter and Then Shoots Himself. Evidence of Insanity. Laredo, Tex., Nov. 13. Last Monday evening a tall, fine-looking man. ac companied by a woman, registered at the Hotel Hamilton as C. Schuler and family. With them was a pretty girl, 8 years old. Yesterday at 8 o'clock the man hired a buggy and took the wo man and girl to the depot despite the Inclement weather. At S o'clock he re turned the buggy and ate supper at the Hotel Hamilton, retiring after ward. : Last night A. Shepherd discovered two bodies lying In the brush In Chacon Bottom, just beyond a small reservoir, two and a half miles from central city. He noticed the trails where the bodies had been dragged through the thorns and the prints of the buggy wheels on the ground. Being afraid to touch the bodies he came In and notified Recor der Pierce what he had seen. Officers proceeded at once to the place and searched the bodies of the woman and child. They were Identified as the per sons who had gone riding with Schuler yesterday evening.. While the news of the find was flying over the -city an other chapter In this horrible affair was enacted at the-Hotel Hamilton. At o'clock this morning tike proprietor of the hotel knocked at Schuler's room and asked hlm-where his family were. He replied that he had taken them last evening to Asteo, where they had taken the limited train for Mexico. "I think you are mistaken," said the proprietor. "Your family is not in Mexico." Schuler shut the door and drawing a revolver, shot himself through tne heart. On his person was found a cigar case with over $1,600 In green backs. The cigar case contained the name of Sam Kuens. It Is believed his brother Is in Fort Worth and he was at once notified of the tragedy. Schuler stated during his stay here that he had beeen master mechanic for a railroad. Schuler spent most of his time in saloons and his actions indicated that he was either unbalanced or meditat ing the horrible murders which he com mitted yesterday. Robbery tho .Motive xaier aeveiopments make it appear that robbery was the motive for the murders. It is believed the murdered woman was Mrs. Caroline Menn, of Dallas, Tex. Her child was a girl of auout iu years. The murderer is sup posed to be William or Sam Kuntz. of Kansas City. Kunts stated while here that, he had been a master mechanic for a railroad, and letters were found in his trunk addressed to William Kuntz, lo7 Grand avenue. Kansas Cltv. In the murdered woman's trunk was found a marriage license bearing the names of Catherine Menn and Theodore Menn. A letter was found in the woman's effects, dated Oct. 4, from G. B. Brown a Fort Worth, Tex., merchant, ad dressed to Mrs. Caroline Menn. Dallas. Tex., the merchant requesting her to, send a check for $25. From this It Is inferred the woman had a bank ac count. Bhe stated that Mr. Christen her son. kent a hotel at Fort Worth and it Is believed Kunts stopped at this noiei, iouna out the woman had monev. enticed her to come here to murder her and get the money. A telegram was received nere todav from Fort Worth adding that Mrs. Menn's son has left mat city to come here. An Insurance policy for $3,000 In his own favor, a deed of trust, executed by Catherine Menn on property In East St. Louis, a photograph of Kunts and Pictures or a handsome young woman and a child of 6 years were found In Kuntz's trunk, besides the letters ad dressed to William Kuntz, Kansas vuy. FIVE LIVES LOST. A Steam Oyster Boat Sinks Near Rock- away Beseh in s Heavy Sea. New York, Nov. 13. Five lives were lost this morning by the capsizing of tne steam oyster boat James W.

Deakln, of the tug uuni mutual, returning rrom sea with a string of city-refuse scows saw tho oyster boat headed to the eastward ana making ror the mouth of the Inlet, wmun is me entrance to Jamaica Bay inat was at 7 o'clock. The tide was half ebb, and the tug was struggling along, making slow headway. Half an hour later Captain Deakln saw the oyster boat steaming around the boll buoy, which marks the channel, and leading to the northwest for the inlet. The change of course brought her Into the trough of the sea, and she rolled heavily, she had gone but a few lengths when a big sea was seen to sweep over tier lurwura aecK, wnere there was an open gangwav. It lifted eft th. house, and upper deck and keeled the vessel over. Before she righted an omer comber dashed Itself over the ucHiesa cran, and she dlsaDnenreri from view. Only the top of the pilot house was left to mark the spot where ne went aown. captain Deakln brought his tug and tow around and neauea duck towards the buoy. He had four scows, on each of which were twenty-five men and the keeper's fam ilies. He did not dare to anchor them in such a sea, 'and therefore kept his iuw w,in mm. iook mm three-quarters of an hour to reach the wreckage Floating about were the pilot house, upper deck, doors, blinds, sashes and other bits of Joiner work, but, though he scanned the water carefully, not a sign was there of the crew.

MIKADO'S SUBJECTS ACTIVE They Drink Firewater and Make Trouble for tho Native Polleo-Jnpan Evi dently Desires to Possess the Sandwich Islands. Honolulu, Nov. , via San Francisco, Nov. 13 (Correspondence of the United Press per steamer Cootie). The new Japanese consul general, Shlmamura, arrived here yesterday. He had been consul general at New York and Mex ico. He says his government Is dis satisfied with the failure of the Hawai ian government to live up to the terms of the immigration treaty with Japan in trying to check the influx here of Japanese. He Is to give special atten tion to that subject. This government has for some time looked with much apprehension upon the increasing pro dominance In number of Japanese In Hawaii over the other nationalities as well as upon the restless and fac tious temper shown by them. On this account they have stopped the Importation of Japanese contract laborers and caused Chinese to be sup plied instead. On the evening of Nov. 4 over 100 Japanese in Japtown were engaged in a riotous conflict. The police had to be called out in force, and they used their clubs freely. Several Japs were cut with knives. Sixteen were nrrantrl These people had been drinking heav ily on ineir emperor s birthday. Yes terday the men arrested appealed to Consul Shimidzle against the rough clubbing they received from the native policemen. The Japanese show a ten dency to antagonize the authorities. Japan Coveta the Island. Washington. Nov. 13. The United Press dispatches from Honolulu, which state that the Japanese government la dissatisfied with Hawaii because of the alleged failure of the latter govern ment to respect the terms of the Immi gration treaty with Japan, excite some attention here In view of the known de sire of the Japanese people to acquire possession of the Hawaiian Islands. The population is a very mixed one. The natives, full-blooded and half caste, number about 40,000; there are 25.000 Japanese, 15,000 Chinese, and 20,000 whites, the latter being mainly Ameri cans. The Japanese government has disclaimed any desire to acquire Ha waii, but the common people are pos sessed of the Idea and it Is feared they may compel their government to take some aggressive steps looking to the acquisition of the country. it is pointed out that Fujil, who waa the Japanese consul general at Hono lulu when Queen Llliuokalanl was de posed, was an Intimate friend of Paul lawman, wno was tne queen's confl dentlal advisor, and that upon his re turn to Japan after the provisional government waa established he carried with him a strong prejudice against the Dole administration. Fujll now holds an Important post In the Toklo iweign omce ana it is openly asserted here that his Influence Is all against the present government and In favor of ine annexation or the Island.
