Constantinople-, Aug. 29. The latest
estimate of the number of persons killed
(luring the rioting on Wednesday Is
000. The French Charge d'Affalrest here
counted 500 bodies which were deposited
In one cemetery alone. The powers
have sent a Joint note to the. sultan
protesting against the slaughter which
accompanied the disturbances, to which
his majesty answered that all possible
precautions against the outbreak Int. I
been taken and were still being ob
served with augmented force.
Mr. M. Herbert, secretary of the H.it
Ish embassy, Is endeavoring to Insure
the lives and safety of the hundreds of
Aimeninns who nre still hiding In var-.
lous buildings. Reports are coining In
frequently of outrages in the suburbs
of Constantinople, especially beyond
Pcutarl. Mr. Herbert has chartered the
steutner llunirailu to transport any
Knglish families who are desirous of
leaving, and many persons huve already
boarded her.
The scenes In the harbor nre of the
liveliest description. Hundreds of per
sons are Mocking to the water front and
tnk'ng refuge on board foreign ships.
Although order In the city has been
fairly restored, the situation Is still such
us to cause great anxiety.
Troops huve arrived here from Ad
riunople and re-enforced the soldiery
and police, who are patrolling the
streets. The city hasJjecome quiet, and
the shops at Guluta are being reopened
Mid business resumed.
The Armoniun revolutionary commit
tee have Issued another manifesto. In
which are embodied twelve demands,
the chief of which Is that autonomy be
granted to the Armenians. After
enumerating their demands the mani
festo goes on to declare that the Ar
menians will light for their rights until
the last of them shall huve been killed.
Further detuils of the situation here
show a horrible condition of affairs.
Hecrelury Herbert or the British em;
bassy says that he suw one of the mu
nicipal scavengers' carts heaped up with
the bodies of Armenian porters. Upon
the top of the load was the body of a
young girl whose head was terribly but
tered, but who was still alive. Mr. Herbert-noticed
that the skulls of most of
the victims were cleft or buttered.
The Italian ambassador, who wit
nessed the killing of a number of Ar
menians by Turks, appealed to the of
ficer of n passing patrol to Interfere on
hchnlf of the Armenians. The appeal,
however, was fruitless; the olMcer re
fused the ambassador's request, saying:
'it Is the people," mid proceeded on his
way.
The sultan, upon hearing that the
guard ships had landed bodies of men,
begged Air. Herbert to withdraw them,
but this the latter declined to do until
the rioting bad censed. The American
college and Bible house were guarded
bv troops, and the college was visited
by United States Minister Terrell, who
wished to ascertain whether or not tne
occupants were safe. The minister's
appearance had a good effect, und he
was assured by the thief of police tnai
everything would be done to preserve
order.
CTU'ISK OP THK HANCROFT.
Washington. Aug. 2!). The navy de
partment has selected most of the of
ficers for the Turkish cruise of the
Bancroft, and orders have been sent
dleeting them to report on bourd the
vessel as on a possible. The officer
are:
Ueuenant-Communder C. Belknap,
detached from the Naval Academy to
couunnd her Lieutenant T. V. Veeder,
detached from the litrtvuu of ftiiulp
tnent at Washington and ordered us
executive olllcer Knsign H. F. W. Kit
tele, detuched from the Vermont nt
New York, and Assistant Paymaster
Richard Haton, detached from the Kut
ululin. '
Considerable difficulty luia been en
eounterd In securing enginwr oHIcers,
u the department Is seeking only those
officers Who huve no been to sea. for
some time, and who will therefore be
available for a ful three years' detail,
It apparent)' being the intention to pro
vide for a contingency which may pos
sibly keep the vessel abroad for a long
time.
il was practically decided this morn
ing that he vessel would huve to be
lit ted for sea at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, where she will be sent as soon
as most of her officers rench her. Hhe
will be immediately dncked and have
hr botom pulnted, and In all probability
this' will be the full exent of her
changes.
The Bancroft now has three large
masts, with considerable sail power,
anil. If nossible, they will be taken out
of her while she Is In the dock and two
pole masts substituted. Telegrams en
deavoring to secure such iioles have
been sent out. Some question having
arisen as to the ability of the Bancroft
to carry enough coal for a trip to Eu
rope without her auxiliary sail power,
the Bureau of Steam Engineering has
investigated the subject and has re
ported her fully capable.
It Is likely she will go by way of
Halifax, the Azores, and Gibraltar. In
volving a streteh of not more than 2,000
miles in any single voyage, this being
the distance between Halifax and
Fayal. The complement of the Han
croft, heretofore 120 men, was today or
dered reduced to 101, to give more room
in the ship for the long yoyage and
duty In Constantinople.
At the state department today It is
impossible to learn whether Minister
Terrell has succeeded in Inducing the
sultan to grant permission to the Ban
croft to pass the Dardanelles. All in
formation Is refused in the absence of
Secretary Olney, but it Is facetiously
explained that the Bancroft has prob
ably not been selected because she is
the only American vessel powerful
enough to force a passage past the
forts of the Bosporus.
At the navy department a technical
denial was promulgated to the extent
of decluring that the mission of the
Bancroft wua devoid of sensational or
offensive features, and that her new
duty, which con hi not be divulged, had
been long in contemplation. It is un
derstood that the Bancroft Is to have
a consort on her voyage across the
ocean, for which purpose a cruiser will
be detached from Admiral Bunce's fleet
next week, and assigned to the Euro
pean squadron.
While assurances are made at the
state department it there lt no de
mand for the Bancroft's visit to Con
stantinople at this Juncture other thun
has existed for some time past in the
recognized moral suport that the
presence of such a vessel would give to
the American minister and her utility
as a refuge for Americans In ease riot
ers got beyond control of the local au
thorities, the fact that an emergency
of some kind does exist Is indicated by
the very language of the act of con
gress which authorized the construc
tion of the liant-roft. This law. pussed
Sept. 7. 1NSS, expressly provided "for
the construction of one steel practice
vessel of SOU tons for the use of the
1'nited Suites Naval Academy at An-i
napolls. exi-i ?t when In emergencies it
may be used for other purposes."
LI AT GRANT'S TOMB.
The Chinese Ambassador Pays His Re
spects to the Memory of the
Great General at Riverside.
New York, Aug:. :!0. LI Hung Chang,
despite the fact that he attended a
dinner given in Ills honor Saturday
night by the ex-ministers to China at
the Waldorf and had remained up at
a late hour beyond his usual hour for
retiring, arose this morning at 6.30
o'clock. ,
The great man breakfasted at 7.110
o'clock, alter which he retired to his
sitting room. At 10 o'clock n delega
tion of thirty Chinese merchuuts. rep
resenting the Ijoe family In these parts,
called on the ambassador and puld their
respects.
The hour for LI Hung's visit to
drum's tomb was 3 o'clock. Before that
time the police stopped traffic and no
body was admitted In Thirty-third
street. A dense muss of people lined the
sidewalks along Fifth avenue ns far
as the eye could see.
Colonel Frederick U, Clrant accom
panied by his son. I'lysses (iiant. and
his brother, I'lysses Grant, of San
Diego, California, arrived at the Wal
dorf at 2.20 o'clock. Mrs. Grant, the
widow of General Orant. who wns stay
ing at the Fifth Avenue hotel, was
driven to Colonel Grant's house where
I.I Hung Chang was to visit her after
the ceremony nt the tomb was over.
An Immense wreath which the am
bassador was to place on the tomb of
the dead general. was llrst carried down
stulrs. This wreath, carefully guarded
by the members of LI Hung Chang's
suit, was placed in a cab and taken to
the tomb.- Precisely nt :i o'clock LI
Hung Chung, escorted by General Ru
ger and Colonel Grant, came down
stairs and walked through the corridor
of the hotel to the Thirty-third street
entrance. There was a curtiugc In
waiting and he took his seat in it.
Colonel Grant nml General Uiwr and
the official interpreter occupied seats
In Ihe same carriage. The rest of the
party followed in currlugcs and were
driven at a fair gall up Fifth ave
nue, Li helil his famous umbrella over
his head nil the Way. He received an
enthusiastic ovation from the tiO.ooO or
more people who lined the Riverside
und Morningslde drives. A large space
surrounding the tomb hud been roped
in, giving the spectators a good oppor
tunity of witnessing the proceedings.
At the foot of the steps leading to the
crypt was1 stationed a sergeant's guard
from. Governor's Island. A solitary
polkeiiutn stood nt the gate of the tomb
In which had been placed earlier in the
day a wreath from Mrs. Grant. When
LI Hung Chang and party drove up
Riverside drive opposite the lomli, his
uppearance was u signal for hearty
cheering. There was a short delay
while one of the colonels hastened back
to a rear carriage, to bring Li's seat
and chair. When it arrived be wuh car
ried by four policemen from the road to
the tomb, un reuchlpg the too of the
(light of steps Li alighted. The heavy
Iron door leading to the tomb whs then
open. Li taking in one hand his floral
wreath, entered the crypt and placed it
on the Iron casket. Before, doing so,
he made a profound now. At Ills side
were Colonel Fred Grant, his Imnher
V. S. Grant and his son, I. H. tltnnt.
Jr. On the st'-ps outside stood tlencrnl
Ruger, General Horace Porter. Colonel
J. J. MeCook, J. II. Seward and Cap
tain Mills..
Li's wreath was a beautiful affair.
It was about four feet in diameter and
consisted of bay leaves and white and
mauve orchids tied with yellow velvet.
The occasion seemed to affect I.I deep
ly. In conversation with Colonel Grant
he referred to his warm admiration of
the late general's qualities. One of the
reasons, he added, for returning home
by America was to visit his friend's
grave. Through the interpreter he
made many Inquiries about the Mau
soleum, toward which he forwarded
Hon. John Russell Young a check for
f.VK.
After remaining standing for twenty
minutes alongside of the casket T.i ut
tered several words in Chinese and
mude a profound how. Stepping back
ward to the door he repeated the same
words to himself and made a second
bow. Then he withdrew. As he seated
himself In the chslr the crowd uttered a
rousing cheer. This seemed to please
him greatly for he gentiy nodded .his
head.
The entire party then entered car
riages and were driven to the resi
dence of Colonel Orant. At the door he
was met by IT. 8. Grant, son of the
late general. The other members of the
party followed..
The Viceroy was conducted to the
parlor, where he was received by Mrs.
Grant. Mrs. Grant and LI are old
friends and the meeting was affecting.
Mrs. Grant met his excellency in China
In 1879. when accompanying Oeneral
Grant on his trip around the world.
The Viceroy was presented to all the
invited guest. He spoke feelingly to
Mrs. Grant of the great loss she had sus
tained In the death of her husband and
said that he would always cherish the
general's memory.
Then the Viceroy presented Mrs.
Grant with several pieces of valuable
brocaded silk, a rare Chinese vase and
a number of chests of tea. He also
presented V. B. Orant. Jr., son of Col
onel Orant. with a valuable Jade atone.
REPORTS REGARDING

Iteeoiniucuded.
TIarrisburg, Pa., Atner. 30. Orders Just
issued from National tJunrd headquar
ters contain reports of the regular army
officers who were present and took notes
of the division encampment at Lewis
town In July. They are published for
the information of the guard. ITpon
the whole the observations are favor
able and the war depa. tmcnt at Wash
ington is fully advised as to details of
Ihe organization and equipment of the
guard. Colonel S. S. Sumner, of the
sixth cavalry, says:
"It would seem advisable to have one
additional troop of cavalry added to the
guard. This would prlve thut arm a
tacMcal organization (squadron) with a
permanent commander, and could be
used either ns a unit or by troop as
occasion might demand.
He concludes ns follows:
"In conclusion, I wish to say, that in
my opinion the Xationul Guard of
Pennsylvania Is a body of well disci
plined and efficient soldiers. Active ser
vice would, of course, rub off some
awkwardness nnd peculiarities that
must always exist In men unaccustomed
to dally military life, but in all essential
matters they are prepared for any call
made upon them. The general tone and
feeling is noticeably hlRh. und the man
ly respect for rank and position shows
a proper appreciation for obligations
voluntarily assumed. The gradual pro
motion ami the curefttl supervision over
all appointment, is perhaps the great
est factor In inuklmr this guard pro
ficient, and with such a system, it may
be safely stated that the guard Is
strongest as a unit under Its own of
ficers, and when eoniinunded by the
generals they have learned to respect
und obey.
Major John Van R. Huff, surgeon of
the regular service, gave much atten
tion to the medical department. He
recommends many things, ami recom
mends that all the medical officers and
the enlisted men of the hospital corps
be organized Into a Banltary depart
ment, with u field marshal and ambul
ance. A SIGNIFICANT PARAGRAPH.
A significant paragraph In Major
Hoff's report is the following: "While
undoubtedly the. orjrurilxation of the
medical department is Adequate to meet
the current requirements of the division
under present peace conditions, it is not
In accordance with the recognized
scheme of modern battle Held sanita
tion. Is not equal to the demands of war
service, and Is, therefore, to a limited
degree only, the model upon which the
sanitary department must be organized
should the time come nnd It probably
soon will for the suo.tioo unorganized
nnd umiiiil'ortned soldiers of the com
monwealth to be called into active ser
vice." Captain James A. l.oyden, of the
Fourth Infantry, says so far as be haif
otinortunlty to observe there was un
hesitating obedience to orders on the
part of the enlisted men. He recom
mends for purely mill tut. v considera
tions: A three-battallin organization for all
Infantry regiments. The formation of
a culvary squadron and an artillery bat
talion having no connection with the
brigade organization.
The organization of a. signal detach
ment of one officer and twelve men In
each brigade. These men should be
skilled bicyclists and lieslde the usuul
torch service, they should be Instructed
In establishing field telephone lines.
Full itineraries und topographical
maps should be required of all such ex
ercises. That the enlistment of privates be
limited to not mine than two terms of
three years each. That the re-enllst-ment
of non-potmnisstoticd officers, who
huve worn chevrons for a year prior to
the expiration of service, be authorized
until such non-commissioned officer
reaches forty years of :me.
That suitable field irons and camp
Irons for open air cooking be furnished
each organization.
That skirmish Ami re targets lie se

HARRISON
PATRIOTIC
A party that cannot be split Is a public) menace.
The Repullcan party fronts the destructionlsts and trumpets Its
defiance to the enemies of sound money. v
The defence of Hie Constitution and of the Integrity of the Supreme
Court of the United States and of the President's power and duty to en
force all the laws of the ITnled States, wltout awaiting the call or con
sent of the Governor of any State, is an important and living Issue in
this campaign.
When, It becomes a rule that violence carries its end we have an
archy, a condition as destructive to honest labor and its rewards as
death is to the tissue of the human body. .
The courts are the defense of the weak. The rich and powerful have
other resources, but the poor have none.
The high-minded. Independent Judiciary that will hold the line in
questions between wealth and labor, between the rich and the poor, is
the defense and security of the defenseless.
Then our business prosperity was like the strongcurrent of a mglhty
river, now It Is like a falling spring In an August drought.
I am quite as much, however, opposed to cheapening the American
working man and working woman as I am to cheapening our dollars.
As a Republican I am pround of many things, but I can sum up
as the highest satisfaction I have had in the party and Its career that
the prospect of Republican success never did disturb business.
It Is not more dollars but cheaper dollars that are wanted. It is
a lower standard of value that they are demanding.
If you havs two things, ither one or which will pay a debt, and
one is not valuable as the other, you are sure to give the least valuable
one.
I have believed and I believe today that any system that maintains
the price of latr in this country that brings hoe into the life of every
laboring man, that enables him to put by, that gives him a stake In
good order. In the property of the country, is the policy that sUnuld be
our American policy.
The first ditry errand that a dirty dollar does is to cheat the
worklngman.

Waterloo, Iowa, Aug. 30. A large
crowd gathered In the K.ust Wide park
In this city Inst evening to listen to
ex-lfovernor Horace Holes open the
campaign In behalf of the Democratic
purty. F. K. Hollands, Democratic
candidate for county uttorney, presid
ed, and after making a short speech,
presented the ex -Governor, in open
ing his address Mr. Poles said thut Ihe
subject Which culled the meeting to
gether was one which overshadowed
every one since the wur. McKlnley
has taken the pulns to allege that nti
appeal has been mude to classes and
an attempt made to divide the country
on the silver question. Hy the very
nature of things there must be closses.
"I said some days ago to a reporter
for a New York paper," continued the
speaker, "that the condition of the
western farmer Is deplorable. That
the prices of products of the farm are
so low that If a man were given the
use of bind and was required to fur
nish the capital to trim It. pay the la
borer the same wages he could get in
other kinds of work, keep lip the re
pairs and pay the taxes and to do
tills bad to sell the products of the
farm for present prices, he would find
himself without a dollar left at the end
of the year.
"I said Ihnt, nnd now I find certain
New Vork capitalists declaring thut a
greater amount of falsehoods were
never Included In the same amount of
lungtinge. Now 1 did not make thut
statement unon my own experience
alone, but several years ugo the Iowa
commissioner of labor made Inquiry of
oveY live hundred Iowa farmers of the
cost of raising one bushel of coin.
They sent him reports and from them
he found that It cost twenty-eight
cents per bushel to raise corn In Iowu.
Toduy In over one-half of tho state
corn is selling for fourteen cents per
bushel.
A QUESTION OF PRICES.
The speaker then took up the ques
tion of prices and said It was all a
question of prices. The honor of the
country was not involved for the rea
son that the government bonds of the
nation were payable in coin. They bear
no promises to be payable In gold alone.
With the gold stnmlard prices depre
ciate. Money is appreciated until now
It will purchase twice as much us It
would In If".'!.. The speaker suld that
compared with the value of the pro
ducts of labor, one dollar In silver bul
lion would buy as much as It would In
187.1, while a dollar in gold bullion would
purchase twice what it would tben.
What was the true standard of compar
ison. He showed that while gold had
appreciated in value, silver had re
mained as It was In 1873. It Is the man
who must produce, who has been
wronged, cruelly wronged. One-half of
his money has been taken away, while
the money-lenders' monev has been
doubled In value. Tf the Chicago plat
form resulted In silver monometallism
