CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 11 The
most horrible accounts are constantly ar
riving here,in Bpite of the efforts taken to
suppress ihem, of massacres and depre
dations In the eastern provinces,in which
tbe Kurdish tribes are said to have per
petrated atrocities more horrible than
any heretoloro credited to them. It is
stated upon apparently good authority
tbat Erzeroum and Sivi, the scenes of
so much bloodshed in the past, bave been
devastated by the Kurds, who have wiped
vllltge after village out of existence, and
tbat tbe sword and lire are sweeping over
the country. The rioting and bloodshed
at Erseroum are said to have been much
more serious tban any reports previously
nmde public have pictured it, and it is
asserted tbat even the presence of Shakir
I'as'ia witb his troops failed to stop tbe
massacres. Tbe unresisting Armenian
men,women and children were bludgeon
ad to death by hundreds on the streets.
A trader wbo arrived here recently from
Trebziond gave that be met between Erze
roum and Baiburt 300 ' women, who fell
on tbeir kneee by tbe roadside imploring
piotection, saying tbeir husbands were
murdered and that tbey were starving
•nd homeless. The rising nf tbe Druses is
extending on all sides, and several vil
lages of the district of Hauran bave been
destroyed by lire.
Sir Philip Currle, British ambassador
to Turkey, is expected bsck to bis post
by tbe end uf the week. He was called to
London in order to consult with govern
ment olHclials regarding the situation
here, end tbe Hon. Michael Herbert, the
British charge d'affaires, has been in
charge of the embassy during bis absence.
An official note was issued hv tbe »...« .
today expressing the sultan's "thanks for
tbe energetic measures taken by the im
perial authorities In View of the disturb
ances and revolts wjioh have broken out
iv eertiin provinces of Asia Minor.which
are more serious in nature than were
those before suppressed. The note adds:
Order has been restored in all the dis
tricts tbat have recently been tbe scene of
riots and conflicts, and precautions have
been taken to insure tbe maintenance of
quiet.
As a result of the exchange of numer
ous telegrams between representatives of
■he powers and respective governments,
lasting nearly all day Saturday ond this
morning, an important meeting of am
bassadors was heln here today and the
situation thoroughly discussed. Finally
it was decided to sena fresh representa"
tives to tbe Turkish minister for foreign
affairs. Tewiik Pasha, renewing in much
stronger language the demands addressed
by the ambassadors to TewflkPasba's prod
ete sor, Bald. Pasha,on November stb,in -
sisting upon being informed without de
lay what measures the porte contemplates
taking in order to restore order in Ar
nV'llln, and reminding tbe Turkish gov
ernment it already had been not Hied of
Ihe intention of tbe powers, acting in
concert, to taks tbeir own steps in the
matter should it develop tbe action of
the porte is inadequate tv deal with the
state of anarchy prevailing in Anatolia.
It is known the sultan still refuses to
believe the owere are in accord as to the
action to be taken in case of the porte's
fa lure to lestore order in tbe Turkish
em pile. The opinion is freely expressed
thai nothing short of a naval den.on.(ra
tion will awaken tbe Turks to a reiliza
lioti uf ihe nil' al condition of affairs.
Further dis- r lers are reported Irom d if
ferent sections. Mobilizing tbe army re
serves Is progressing so slowly tbey
might as well have been left et home.it. il
the get oral impression prevails stronger
than ever today that European interven
tion in the ad ministration of affairs In
the Tukish empire will very soon become
absolutely nocessary to avert further and
more serious bloodshed. Tho pone seems
insonsible of what is going on, or utterly
incapable of cppieciating the extent to
which anarchy has spread in the last few
weeks. No serious outbreak is appre
hende l here, as the British fleet is within
easy steaming distance or the Darda
nelles, but in spile of the desperate efforts
of the Turiksb authorities lo suppress
the true stats, matters are daily growing
worse and worse in the provinces.
It is «tated Bnbn Pasna, who was dis
missed Irom the governorship owing to
ill treatment of Armenians, on raprescn
tatinns of the British ambassador, Sir
Philip Currie, and who on Saturday was
decorated by the sultan with the grand
cordon of Osmauieh order, "as a reward
for good service," is to be appointed to
command tho Turkish troops going to
Zeitoun.
The number of victims of the Baiburl
massccre is reported to be 1500. It is
estimated the total number of Armen
ians, men, women and children, killed
during Ihe most recent massacres ex
ceeds 10,000, aud it is being constantly
added to.
Consul Hampsnn announces ho has
found trusty persons to distribute funds ,
oollectcild lor the relief of the suffering
Armenians of Sassoun district.anil there
fore relief work there, interrupted by he
forced retirement of Armenian mission
aries, whose lives wero in danger, is to
be resumed. It is estimated that during
the past week or ten days 300 Armenians
have been exiled witbout trial Irom Tur
key, and tbe police are still making
arrosts.
Only One flsthod
LONDON, Nov. H.-Tbe marquis of
Salisbury's speech seems to bave bad tbe
effect of reassurance upon the publio
mind. His language attributing tbe
whole responsibility of tbe condition of
affairs in Armenia to Turkey is regarded
as calculated to encourage tbo Armenians
to iesist, but all interested seem to find
comfort in the stress laid on tbe har
mony of the great powers. This is looked
upon us being tbe sole sure mode of deal
ing witb tbe sultan and of holding down
the ambitions of tbe individual Euro
pean states. Still there is visible be
tween tbe lines in the utterances of the
premier nn undercurrent of feeling tbat
war in tbe oast is more likely to be pre
cipitated tban avoided. In any event
there will be no change In the gover
nment s program looking to'the strength
ening ot the British fleet very materially
in order to be ready for any combination
of events whicb may be likely to ooctir.
Tbe Fans Figaro announces that throe
French warships bave left Cannes for
Turkish waters, prepared to cope with
any emergency.
The Sultan Alarmed

ent critical state of affairs. F'oru Arabia,
tbe moat vulnerable point of the Turkish

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-President
Thomas Estrada I'alrua, the head of the
Cuban revolutionary party, will eomo to
Washington within the next few days. It
is said that his visit will result in a more
definite line of policy regarding what Cu
bans will suggest or urgo upon congress
as tbe most desirable course for tbe
United States to auopt. Thus far the
policy of the Cubans bas been toward
securing from the United States recogni
tion of the belligerent rights of the insur
gents. Now, however, there is said to be
an influential cloment against tins course.
They say It would prove disastrous to
American shipping, aa it would permit
Spain to seize American merchant vessels
suspected of carrying contraband goods
on tbe high seas, whereas tbese seizures
cannot be made at present outside the
three mile limit 01 the Cuban coast. In
stead of recognitibn of tbe insurgents it
is being urged that tho United States
should adopt steps to put an end to tbe
struggle in Cuba by forcible intervention,
if necessary, as wss proposed by Presi
dent Grant in 187."i during the last Cuban
uprising. This question will bo among
tnose to be laid beloro President Palma
when he reaches Washington.

tion of 11110 volunteers had stoaed for
Cuba to tight 'or the mother country,
This is the second expedition from the
Agentine Republic, one of 800 men hav
ing already landed in Cuba. The Spon
isa colony in Brazil has sent from Rio de

That Unlawful Search
NEW YORK, Nov. il.-Captain Frank
Taylor of the American brig Harriet G.,
which on leaving tho Cuban port of Nue
vitas on October 3d was searched by
Spaniards who claimed to be looking for
aims, said today:
"It has been incorrectly stated tbat I
was not flying the stars arid stripes when
tbe search was made. This was not the
case. The senrcb was made by nine men
under the leadership of a Spanish officer.
My protests were unavailing. The Amer
ican consul witnessed part of the search
and joined in tno protest. It. was useless,
however. The Spaniards dia not rsro a
continental for American rights, and
wruld insult our flag whenever opportun
ity offered. Had my vessei carried the
British flag, not a Spaniard would bave
dared to attempt a search."

Forby of the Thurston Rifles says that
the charges brought by the Morton Rifles
of Washington that the Thurstons won
the Memphis trophy by the aid of mem-
Den of the regular army posing among
them ns Thurstons. is basej solely upon
the fact that when the Thurstons went to
Memphis thoy took as their guests Lieu

a corporal detailed by Colonel Bjttes to

the members of the regular army took no
part in the drills. He adds that while

The court decided o'iiciaily that bean 3

case of Ilyinan Sonn and others against
the c. Hector of tnn port of New York.
The plaintiffs sought to recover duties
paid un beans under the vegetaole classi

ler r ail the o| inioii of the court, holding
that as beans are reenr-ed as vege'aoles
by common usage, they should be so con

The Chen Yuen Si.-.g case, involving

In the case of John D. Shiver vs. toe

The case of the Consolidated Electric
Light company against the McKeesport
Light company imolves tho claims of
Sawyer and Mann and Thomas A. Edison
tn piiority in application of the principle
of incandescent carbon conductors made
of fibrous or textile substances to electric
lighting. In ISS7 the plaintiff company
tiled a bill in the United States circuit
court of the western district of Pennsyl
vania for an inliiinctinn to prevent the
McKeesport corporation from using tne
Kdison lights on tho ground ihat they
were interfering with the Sawyer-Mann
patent. Judge Bradley in an opinion de
livered October 5, lestt, refused to grant
the restraining order. Justice Bradley, in
his opinion in the lower court, which the
decision today artirms, said that Sawyer
and Mann followod a wrong principle in
their, work. The great discovery, he de
clared, was the adoption of high resist
ence in the conductor with a small illu
mlnatini? surface and a corresponding
diminution of the strength of the current.
The credit for this discovery he gave to
Edison.
Chief Justice Fuller handed down the
court's opinion on motion of the Bell

was appealed from the decision of the

ou the ground that tbe act creating the
court of appeals in providing tliot these
courts should have final jur'sdiction in
patent cases had deprived the supreme
court of jurisdiction. The motion to dis

lenghty, concluding as follows:
"We cannot impute to congress the inten

Found Wherever Alfalfa drows—lt
Is Not Waterproof
SACRAMENTO. Nov. 11.—Dr. H. W.
Darkness, president of tbo Academy of
"Sciences, believes that tho death of a
number of catile near Old Elk Grove,
this county, is due to a poisonous fungus
growth on tho alfalfa in that reign.
Dr.llnrkness appeared before tbe board
of supertisors today and exhibited spec
imens of infected grass.
The fungus were brown blotches, like
rust,on the grass. "Tbe lungus is known
as the dotbidia, "said tbe scientists,"and
it may be found in Italy and in Cali
fornia wherever alfalfa grows. Two
years ut" I investigated t'n« cause of tbe
death of several thousand head of cattle
at Bakerstifcld, which had been imported
Irom Arizona. Death was found to be due
to this poisonous growth of alfalfa. We
saved the lest of the herd merely by
turning out on a dry Held.'
Dr. H.irkncss said fungus is fatal only
in ihe month of October, it is washed
away by tbe heavy winter rains and
after tbat tbe alfalfa is wholesome
again.

Canada's Armed Cruisers on tbe
Great Lakes
THE TERMS OF AGREEMENT
Interpreted on the Far Side of tba
St. Lawrence
To Permit the Building of Armored Cruiser*
So Long as They Are Called
Revenue Cutters
Associated Press Special Wire
NhW YORK Nov. lt.-A special to th*
World from Ottawa, Ont., says:
Opinion on thissldo of the line appears
to differ from President Cleveland's inter
pretation of the treaty of 1817, regarding
the right of Canada or the United States
to build warships on the great lakes, in
deciding against tha construction of
cruisers at Detroit.
Sir Obanea Tup per, the Canadian min
ister of justice, formorly minister ol ma
rine, says tbe treaty speaks clearly for
itself. Heine; asked if Canada bas not
infringed tbe treaty in constructing orais
ers on the lakes, Sir Charles Tupper said
they were only rovenuo cutters.
Toe treaty stipulates that the naval
fores ot each country shall consist of not
more than one vessel, not exceeding 100
ions burden, on Lake Ontario, two such
vessels on the upper lakes and one sucn
vessel on Lake Chaniplain. A doubt has
arisen over tho clause in which it was
agreed that all other armed vessels on
those lakes should be dismantled and tbat
no other vessels of war should be there
built or armed.
The Canadian government has built
three armed cruisers on tbe lakes since
1891, the Curfew, tbe Constance and tha
I'etrel. Commander Wakel of tbe domin
ion fishery protective service quotes ia
his report"in 18:i3 the following descrip*
tion of the cruisers:
"Tho Curfew and her sister ships ara
far superior to the ships maintained on
tue lakes by the United States revenue
department. In case they were ever
needed for such a purpose, they would
make very formidable comme'ee destroy*
era. The frame is of steel and is extra
heavy, with steel plating for the sides.
The bottom is of rock elm. The main
deck house, engine cuvering, etc., are ail
of steel, as well as the protective turtle

ollicers and crew are divided by four steel
bulkheads, the coal bunkers are carried
along tbe sides to protect the engines and
boilers.
"They aro armed with three quick-firing
guns, one mounted on the turtle deck
forward and one on each side of tbe quar
ter deck. The ram bow ia a formidable
weapon, and in the Constance it ia con
structed with a view to severe seivice.
The stem forging is very heavy and is re
inforced with heavy plates and angles,
making it almost solid fir some seven or
eight feet back. The Constenco bas a
registered tonnage of 126 tons."
It will be an interesting question to
solve as to how far the equipment and
armor of a revenue cruiser may be car
ried in her construction, and wnere the
line is to be drawn between a revenue
cruiser available for revenue purposes
enly, and one tbat may be put to more
severe defensive or offensive purposes
when national exigencies demand it.
