prise to everyone hern, and It Is believed that
tbe attorney-generalship was tendered to
Judge Harmon, only tliut day.
The selection ot tb Cincinnati man is gen
ernlly attributed to the Influenoe ot Hocretary
Carlisle, of whom tbo new attorney-general
Is au old frlnd and associate. It shows one
mote tbe reliance with which the president
places In tbe Judgment of his secretary ot the

linquish tbeir vastly remunerative practices
In order to assume tbe more arduous duties
of chief law officer ot tbe government for

THE UNREPENTANT TURK.

Right of the Powers.
The reply of tho Turkish government to
tbo notes of tho representatives ot Circa1
llritnin, France nnd ItUHHia, in regard to I lie
proposed reforms in Armenia, has been de
livered to the envoys. The porte's answer
It uot satisfactory. The Turkish government
does not agree to tho principle of the oouirol

THE RISINGTIDE.
Dun's Review of the Condition of Com
merctal Affairs.
The tide ot business Is rising; even as It
was falling Just two years ago, with surpris
ing rapidity. Tbe gain has gone so far and
fast in some branches tbat the more confer,
tatlve tear it may not be maintained. liut
Ihe period of dullness which ?ome in eacn
market after an unusual rise, brings as yet
noti lug like a corresponding decline. In
dustries vain much, bait or fall back a little,

tor the country, ami another 23 per cent
more commercial loans than a year ago, and
all but two report some gain.
The serious question remains, whether the
crop will be full enough to susiaiu a large
busiucf. Hut tbo worst reports today are
better by far tbau the estimate recently cur
rent. Wheat rose il cents, fell bark U with
realising and has again risen 3, with a west
ern estimato of a crop HO.OO ,,0o0 bushels
smaller than lost year. It 1 perilnemt to re
member tbat ofllcial and most unolllcial re
port, down to a late period lat fall, put tbe
yield about H0.0O0.OO0 bushels lower tban It
is kuown to bsve been. Western reteipt
were 'ilit.OOO bushels more than last year.xnd
In live weeks have been 7, i" 1, 0:1 1 bushels,
against C.lKll.GjO bushels last year, while
Atlantic expoits, flour Included, f.70,000 bush

weeks, 7, 7:is.H2M bushels, against 11.K45.47H
last year. '1 here is neither holding back by
farmers nor anxious basto In purchasing by
foreigners to support belief In scarcity.
Iron pushes upward, like the great build
ings Into which so much nf it goes, and tho
advance In llnlshed product bns become
geueral. Of structural steel 1 J.COJ tons were
turned out In May by the Homestead works,
break iiig the record, aud price rise to l.S
cents for l esms and 1 'J for angles. The
Kastern Itar association bos raised the price
of rcllned Iron to 1.1 cents and the Amalga
mated association demand of Pittsburg anil

to have substantially agreed upou sales by

AWFUL JIASSACRE.
All the Missionaries, their Familtea and
Households at Chengtu Killed.
A special dispatch from Shanghai say
that it is almost certuin tbat a massacre of all
the persons connected with tbe Kugllsb
French and American missions at Cbengts
has occurred. Neither men, women cot
children have been spared, according to the
report. It is admitted that telegrams have
been Intercepted by the government, tbe oh
iect being to conceal Ihe news ot tbe iimsca
ere. A French gunboat I on routo to Wuen-
chnng to Investigate the report.
Keport pubiisned about Japan's prepara
tion to occupy corea are raucn exaggerated,
Only small garrisons remain at seoul and a
few others points, and, even in respect to
these, ltussia will shortly require Japan to
III a date ol evacuation. It Is not expected
here that Japan will oner any serious dimcul
lie as regards compliances with this re
quest
One of the principal provisions of the Shi
mouosekt treaty is tbat which afllrms tbe In
dependence of tbe kingdom ot Corea. As
ltussia has from tbe outset of tbe war pro
fessed herself desirous to see Corea unfetter
ed by outside control, it might be presumed
tbat she is uow doing no more tbau brlnglug
pressure to bear upou Japan to give vlTect to
her agreement with Chma by speedily evacu
niiug the country. It bus, however, been
biuteJ tbat Kussla is anxious to obtain a com
manding iuflueuae lor herself u the Coreau
peninsula. This view Is supported by recent
dispatches from Seoul, thu Corean capital,
that liokuyaeko, who has Just been nppoiuted
acting premier of Corea, has formed au ul
llaucu with the ltuslau minister.
TO STARVEJHEM.
Turkish Oovernment Has Prohibited
Food Supplies Oonig to Nostorisna.
The Turkish government, It Isclulmod, ha
just taken the preliminrry steps in what may
result lu a mnssacro ot Nestorian Christian
In tbe mountains of Kurdistan. It is assert
ed that the government bus given, orders to
starve the Independent tribes ol Nestorlnus
In the mouutalu region Immediately west ol
Onwar, which may be described as lying
about mldwuy between Mosul and Lake Van,
about 50 miles west of tho Persian frontier.
Thu orders, it Is stated, are tbat no food Ue
plies ot any kind shall be allowed to enter Ihe
territory ot tbo ludependout tribes, nud
measure are said to have been tuken to en
force these orders to tho letter.
This action Is apparently taken as a means
of compelling the Independent tribes to sub
mit to Turkish authority nud to pay the taxes
demanded by the Turkish government, aud
is regarded as the tlrst serious attsmpt tbat
the Turks have made to extort taxes from tbe
independent tribes, F'rom tho earliest times
in the history of tbe Ottoman empire these
tribes have been ludepeudeut o( Turkish
rule. They have paid no taxes, aud they
have acknowledged no allegiance to tbe
Turkish government.
FOUR GIRLS DROWNED.

fated steamer Co.lma arrived In Ban Francis.
co on the Han Juan. When she docked, hun
dred of friends aud relative of those wbo
went down on the Colima were assembled,
waiting tbe landing of tbe passengers.
Groups of women with tearful faces and
knots of anxious men Implored every oue on
board for tiding of tbe lost, all hoping
against bops that there might bavo bceu
ome mistake In the dispatches anil some
name omitted amoug the saved. How keen
was their disappointment In tbe face of In
evitable assarauce that there was DO bop
was shown in their bitter lamentations.
On tbe uptier deck of the s'.oaiuer were a
few bappy people whose pleasure o uilraeted
sharply with the grief of tne bereaved. These
were tne friends of the survivors, who were
embraced and congratulated at tbeir miracu
lous rescue.
The 17 men saved from a watery grave
wben tbey bad given op all hoe of resniie
were a sorry looking party wbeu they ar
rived at the main docks. Home had their
arms in slings. The beads of others were
swathed In bandage. They limped as they
walked, aud tbeir bruise were plainly In
evidence. All were looking thin i n t weak
and ihowed plainly tbe effect of the terrible
strain during the tearful hours whoa tbey
waited for succor.
Tbe dories ot tbe survivors all confirmed
the telegraphic, account of the disaster.
Tbey agree tbat tbe cause of the foundering
was the top-heavy condition of tbe Colima
duo to her bulky devk load. From the be
ginning of the voyage south, they say, tbe
t earner acted badly and would not aniwer
ib i helm,
t he storm which sunk her wa encountered
about 9 o'clock Monday night. May 27. and
blew furiously during the next 14 hours.
Ihe vessel lost steerage way and swung
shoreward in tho teeth of a furious southeast
erly gale, wbeu she lay helplessly battered by
tbe tidal wave.
Tbe steamer lay helplessly on her side for
about IS minute aud tbeu tipped over aud
sank. The women and children were drown
ed in their state rooms, where tbey were
confined during the gale. Ihe passengers
wbo hud been on deck were thrown luto tbe
sea. Many wero killed and horribly muti
lated by tbe lumler on the deck, blown by
the wind aud hurled upon the bead of the
struggling men In tbe water.
The raft ou which Cusblng. Sutherland,
Itichardson and two others were afloat drift
ed for about 24 hours. I'bey gave up all hope
until the San Juan hove in sight. They at
tracted her attention by hoisting a piece of
red cloth and waiving their clothes.
on the raft with the passengers were two
sailors. One seized a small basket ot claret,
of which both drank. Tbey became drunk
and quarrelsome, To save the lives ot the
rest of tbe craft, tbe men say they were
obliged tu push one sailor, mad with drink,
Into tbe sen, where he drowned.
Tbe passenger say there was no time to
launch the boats or put on tbe preservers
wben they realized the serious plight of tbe
Colima. and. besides, tbe fury of tbe storm
made it impossible to launch or mun the
boats successfully. Tnose who secured life
preservers lost them In tbem In the water.
