Fighting on the Streets of Con

dreds Taken Prisoners.
LONDON, Eng., Oct. 2.— The Post will
•to-morrow publish a dispatch from Con
- stantinople saying it is believed that ten
persons .were killed and forty wounded in
tlie streets during the rioting which oc
curred Monday. Five hundred persons
have been arrested on the charge of par
. ticipating in the riot.
,• Among the prisoners are a number of
'Armenian?. These, when arrested, were
•thrown down, disarmed, beaten and then
bound. .One Armenian waa struck with a
bludgeon and. afterward shot and killed.
Two ndh-commissioned gendarme officers
were ab^ut to seize an Armenian near the
gate., of .'.the Sultan's palace, where the
trouble originated, when shots were fired
from a crowd of students and both officers
\\<>;e killed. : Several other gendarmes
were wounded. It is stated that eight
Armenians were killed within the Min
istry of Police, which was attacked by the
rioters. A crowd of armed assembled
later and threatened to massacre the
Armenians. The police, however, dis
jier.-e i them.
The Porte and the palace oificials are
greatly alarmed. The Ministers have held
a meeting to consider the situation, which
is threatening. A dinner -which had een
arranged at the palace in honor of Prince
Albert Schleswig has been canceled.
The French dispatch boat Petrel, which
wab about to sail for Toulon, has been or
dered to. remain.
The demonstration of the Armenians had
Jong been prearranged. Copies of the pe
tition against the Government, to present
which to the Grjand Vizier was the object,
of the. visit of the Armenians to the gate of
the palace, were sent to some of the embas
sies, ith an intimation that the petition
would be forwarded to the Grand Vizier.
The police hearing this, orders, were given
to prevent the petitiou-from ! being pre
fceilte-i. •'; . . ■ . *. "...,. t ...
.About .2000 persons assembled in the
Koumkapon Cathedral to attend the ceie
bration of the cross. After the service \
• twenty Armenian women presented to the
Patriarch a petition begging him to sum•
• mon the faithful to po to the Porte to pray
that, it promptly enforce reforms in Ar
."4uenia;_-..Tlie Patriarch addressed the as-
sembiage and exhorted them to make no
•demonstration, inasmuch as it would be
contrary to law. He begged them to rely
• upon hirns<?lf to do everything possible to
■ ttte desired reforms. Thereupon the
■.crowd shouted : '-We have had enough.
We wait liberty or death."
The Patriarch then withdrew and the
Armenians tried to form a procession, but
in tfeis they were prevented by the police,
who -.dispersed the crowd into various
streets* Later, however, they gathered
tieain at an arranged point. There Major
Serwet Bey, aid to the Ministry of Police,
3sed. 'them, directing them to leave
palace with him. Some reports say
be insulted the Armenians. At any
■tie latter became incensed and began
ng: Then shots were fired, and Ser
wet Bey was killed and several gendarmes
■were wounded. A hand to hand fight fol
r
I he disturbances were renewed on Tues
day but the details cannot be obtained. It
is known, however, that some people were
kilied.. ■ . '
The streets are patrolled by troops, and
the guards at the Government offices have
beta re-enforced. It is stated that the Ar
menians broke into the Jaw courts and
killed two judges.
During; the rioting Monday bullets
pierced the carriages of the Minister of the
Interior, the Minister of Foreign Affairs
aiid the Minister of Police.
The Constantinople correspondent of the
Daily News says that an eye-witness of
Tuesday's. trouble declares he saw a cart
load of corpses removed from the Koum
kapon d-rstrict last night.
A WrecK messenger employed at tl.o
British consulate reported that he was at
he <Trand.Zaptieh, the principal prison o!
the city, and suw four dead and eight '
wounded Armenians brought in. He
heard an order given to kill the wounded,
which wa? done. Tne matter was reported
to Sir PbHlip Curry, the British Minister.
The Daily News estimates the killed at
more than twenty. Christian and Moslem
fanaticism, it says, is alike aroused and
the trouble may be worse yet unless ener
getic measures are taken.
The Standard has a Constantinople dis
patch Baying that the number of killed is
variously estimated at from thirty to 200.
The exact number will probably never be
known. Many hundreds of persons have
l>een arrested and the entire Ministry of
Justice, has been turned into a jail. The
ordinary- jails are full. Any Armenian
who appears on the streets runs the risk of
being : imprisoned.
The dispatch adds that many versions
jiven of the tenor of t'je Armenian
.'ii. ...One version is that it was
n *nd was intended only as a pre
text to enable the conspirators to gain
access tojtbe (irand Vizier. The agitators
well knew they would be resisted, hence
■ thei-raction can only be regarded as delib
erate anu'V-d provocation, any repetition of
• which might haye 1 been of the most serious
consequences for Chr.stians throughout
the empire.
familiar rumors of an impending
M're are already revived and the
public mind is greatly agitated.

from Mrs. Mary Welch of San Francisco
inquires concerning the whereabouts of
relatives of Miss Margaret Mack, who was
lately coniined in an insane asylum, leav

WHIPPED HER HUSBAND.
Margaret Mather Figures in a
New and Sensational
Roie.
Colonel Pabst Belabored by the Ex-
Actress on a Street of
Milwaukee.
NEW YORK, N V., Oct. 2.— A Herald
special from Milwaukee says:
The entire city is talking to-night about
a street affray which occurred this after
noon between Colonel Gustav ft. Pabst
and his wife, who was formerly Margaret
Mather, the actress.
The residents in the neighborhood of
State and Twenty-seventh streets noticed
a man and woman driving by in a covered
bupgy shortly after noon to-day, and were
startled the next minute to see the woman
seize the whip and strike her companion
across the face. Her companion made no
resistance, but turned and jumped out of
the buggy. Then it was seen that he was
Colonel Pabst, son of the millionaire
brewer.
Pabst walked down State street. It was
his wife who had struck the blow.
Mrs. Pabst followed her bonband as he
turned into Twenty-fourth street. "When
she reached him she struck him four times
on the face with the whip, which she still
carried, and her husband -wrenched it from
her and threw it into the street.
Mrs. Pabst was not content with this,
for she doubled up her list and struck the
colonel squarely in the face. He then
spoke to her in a low tone, and the pair
turned and went to their house together.
The assault was witnessed by several
persons, but no one could tell what was
the cause of the trouble, as there has been
no rumors that the pair had not been
living happily together. Miss Mather has
not been on the stage since her marriage,
but stories were current to-night that she
intended to go behind the footlights again.
TRIAL OF THE ST. PAUL.
Slow Time Made in the New
Liner's Race for a
Record.
The Messrs. Cramp and the Naval
Officers Chagrined Over the
Rasult.
MARBLEHEAD. Mass., Oct. 2. — The
new American liner St. Paul, the twin ship
to the St. Louis, now in regular ocean
traffic on the same line, was given her first
trial trip to-day. The course selected was
the regular Government course from Cape
Porpeise to Cape Ann and return.
The St. Paul is the latest and most costly
addition to the merchant marine, and for
'months past the result of her trial has been
a theme of speculation among all naval
men. It was expected that Bbc would equal,
if not surpass, the record made by the St.
Louis over the same course— 22.o3 knots per
hour. She does not receive any bonus for
reducing this record, bnt was to receive as
a subsidized cruiser so much for carrying
the mail for every mile that she made over
the St. Louis' time.
The weather was perfect for the trial,
and it was expected that the St. Paul would
make a very high record, but for some un
explainable cause she did very poorly and
•ould not go faster that 21 knots. She will
be given another trial Saturday.
The Messrs. Cramp and the naval offi
cers who witnessed the trial were very
m ;ch chagrined, but laid the fault to her
ma hinery being new and her crew unac
cusiomed to iier movements.

The Money to Be J'aid Without Meed to
TAtigation.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 2.— lt is be
lieved that the Mora award will soon be
distributed, perhaps within a few days.
Secretary Olney is credited with the
opinion that he is not obliged to heed
any of the litigation which has been
threatened.
The former custom of the State Depart
ment was to pay the entire amount of an
international riward to the original claim
ant, leaving his assigns to settle with him.
While the custom has changed in recent
years the principle is still held that the
Btate Department cannot be disturbed in
the exercise of its original jurisdiction in
the payment of an award by court proceed
ings preliminary to suits for the determina
tion of the title to the funds. With the
exception of 40 per cent set aside for at
torney's fees and expenses Mora's assign
ments will not foot up over $100,000.

A FEUD OF COWBOYS
Littlefield Was Hanged
by Men of a Rival
Ranch.
WAR IN ROUND VALLEY.
A Battle Between the Vinton
and Palmer Factions
Expected.
NEW STOEY OF THE TRAGEDY.
Friends of the Mob's Victim Claim
That He Fired In Self-
Defense.
UKrAH, Cal., Oct. 2.— The Littlefield-
Vinton affair in Round Valley is not yet
at an end. The body of Littlefield, the
victim of the lynching, was cut down by
George Camming!, the Covelo Constable,
on Saturday. The following day Yes
Palmrr, in whose employ Littlefield was,
went after tne body to give it burial.
Palmer had with him several of his range
riders. Near the scene of the lynching
they encountered some of Vinton's cow
boye, but at that time no hostile action
was manifested by either party.
Later reports are to the effect that Vin
ton's friends left in pursuit of Palmer and
his party, and hostilities are expected to
commence shortly. If they meet a pitched
battle will be the result.
Since the first reports of the affair senti
ment has changed regarding the matter
and it now appears that it was the result
of a bitter feud between the Vinton and
Palmer ranches. It is claimed by those
who are in a position to know that Little-
field was alone in the Mad River country
gathering stock when he ran across Vinton
and hot words passed between them. It

is very likely that Littlefield fifed in self
defense.
Others go so' far as to assert that the
Round Valley Constables pretended to ar
rest Littlerield, but in reality aided in his
lynching by the Vinton range riders.
Color is lent to this theory by the fact that
the Constables were witness in behalf of
Vinton, the prosecuting witness, and
against Palmer in the trial of Palmer for
grand larceny at the July term of court.
The truth of the matter will likly never
be learned, as all the witnesses of the
tragedy were Vinton men. Littlefield's
father is an inmate of the County Farm.
Littlefleld was a determined man and had
little to say, but was a good shot and
very jealous of the rights of his employer
Palmer.

From the Cramp
Shipyard.
CHEERED BY THOUSANDS.
A Daughter of Mayor Schieren
Christens the Noble
Vessel.
ONE OF THE BEST AFLOAT.
Many Improvements Embodied In
the Construction of the
Warship.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 2.— The
United States armored cruiser Brooklyn
was launched from Cramps' shipyard into
the Delaware River at 1:08 o'clock this aft
ernoon with the usual accompaniment
of noise furnished by shrieking steam
whistles and the cheers of at least 15,000
spectators.
Shortly after 1 o'clock the signal was
given and the big vessel started down the
ways. As she began to move Miss Schieren,
daughter of the Mayor of Brooklyn,
smashed the bottle of champagne against
the red hull and christened the vessel the
Brooklyn. The vessel slipped smoothly
into the river, and a great cheer went up
from the multitude. The big handsome
cruieer floated a hundred yards or so out,
and then two anchors ware let go from her
bows, and she came to a stop and swung
slowly around with th» tide.
The armored cruiser Brooklyn will be
one of the floating masterpieces of the
ccean. Driven ahead by engines of 16,500
horsepower, she will plunge through the
water twenty knots an hour continuously
for days, or as long as her coal supply of
1650 tons will hold out. Her bunkers will
run her at ten knots per hour for 15,000
miles.
The Brooklyn will be an improvement
over any other vessel built m tiie matter of
forced draught,. as her long smokestacks
projecting 100 feet above her boilers will
keep the steam-gauges at thehignest point.
The stacks are built of steel, heavier at the
base than at the top, and stayed to the
masts. What heat will be generated in the
great furnaces below when the hot air goes
roaring up through those towering tubes
of metal!
The Brooklyn's steel unsneathed hull
will have a double bottom and close water
tight subdivisions to twelve feet above the
water line. There will be a heavy protect- .
ive decK extending from stem to stern, the
edges amidship being five feet six inches
below the twenty-four foot water line and
rising to the level of the water line at the
middle of the vessel. Over the machinery
and boilers, magazines, etc., this deck will
be six inches thick on the slopes and three
inches thick on the horizontal positions.
Forward and aft of the machinery and
boilers the deck will be at least two and a
half inches thick.
Protection at the water line will be af
forded by an armor belt three inches
thick, extending the length of the engine
and boiler rooms, and from four feet above
to four feet below the water line. Within
this armor belt and the skin plating will
be a belt of cellulose three feet six inches
thick the whole length of the vessel and
reaching from the armored deck to the
berth deck.
Between these two decks will be thirty
six water-tight compartments amidships
to serve as coal-bunkers. The conning
tower will have 7% inches of armor, with
a connecting tube to the protection deck
fitted with 5 inches of armor.
Her twin screws will be each driven by a
pair of vertical inverted triple-expansion
engines inclosed in separate apartments
and with shafts so arranged that the for
ward engines can be uncoupled and the
after engines used for low speed. She has
seven boilers arranged in three batteries,
each in an independent water-tight bulk
head.
The Brooklyn will be armored with
eight 8-inch breech-loading rifles, twelve
5-inch breech-loading rapid-fire guns, four
1-pound rapid-tire guns, four machine and
two field guns. The big eight-inchers will
be mounted in four barbette turrets, two
having a train-angla of 310 degrees and the
other two an angle of 180 degrees, from
right ahead to right astern.
The barbette armor will be 8 inches
thick for a portion equivalent to the train
of the guns and 4 inches thick for all re
maining portions. The turret armor will
be 5% inches thick, and the five-inch guns
will be protected by fixed segmental
shields 4 inches thick and by I^-inch
splinter bulkheads to protect the crew
from explosive shells- The smaller guns
will be protected by shields and extra side
plating. There will be live torpedo tubes,
one at the bow and two at each side. Steel
nets hung from outrigger booms will be a
defense against torpedoes. There will be
two military masts with fighting tops.
The length of hull on loadline is 400 feet,
beam 64 feet and draught 23 feet. Her dis
placement is 9150 tons and the indicated
horsepower; is 16,500 tons. The vessel's
complement is 566 men, officers aad crew.
This peerless war craft is fifty-two feet
longer than the Oregon and sixty feet
longer than the Olympia. She is 1130 tons
less displacement than the Oregon, but
4480 tons more than the Olympia. The
Oregon has five feet more beam and the
Olympia eleven feet less than the Brook
lyn. The Oregon draws one foot of water
more and the Olympia two feet less. The
Oregon is 6500 horsepower less and the
Olympia is 1363 tons trial horsepower
more. The estimated cost of the Oregon is
$1,615,000; Olympia, $2,388,000; Brooklyn,
13,500,000.
The Oregon carries four 13-inch guns
and as many 8-inch as the Brooklyn,
but four 6-inch, against the Brook
lyn's twelve five-inch. This makes the
battery of the Pacific vessel the heavier.
The Olympia's battery is lighter, but she
has ten 5-inch quick-fire rifles which lift
her well up toward the other two vessels
in efficiency of gun work. However, the
Brooklyn is the cruiser of the future*, as
she can steam almost around the world
without coaling, an advantage that makes
her independent and practically uncon
querable. ■ •
SURVIVES A BROKEN NECK
Peculiar Case That Is Puzzling
the Physicians at
Omaha.
Mrs. Stewart Has Lived for Six
Days With a Fractured
Vertebrae.
OMAHA, Nebr., Oct. 2.— Mrs. Dudley T.
Stewart is lying at the point of death with
a broken neck. On Thursday evening last,
during Mr. Stewart's absence from the
city, a young man who enjoyed the ac
quaintance of the family called at the
house with his carriage and horses and in
vited Mrs. Stewart to go driving with him.
After some persuasion Mrs. Stewart con
sented.
Hardly had the couple driven a few
blocks when the team shied, the carriage
collided with the curb and the occupants
were thrown to the pavement. A crowd
of neighbors immediately gathered at the
spot and the wreck was gathered up. The
young man escaped without serious in
jury, but Mrs. Stewart was thrown upon
her head and rendered unconscious. She
was taken back to her residence and a
physician summoned.
An examination disclosed the fact that
Mrs. Stewart's neck had been broken.
Her entire body is paralyzed from the
shoulders down. Mr. Stewart was notified
at once and returned to the city Friday.
The physicians have expected Mrs. Stew
art to die at any moment since the acci
dent. That she has lived six days is con
sidered remarkable and unaccountable.

STOCKTON, Cal., Oct. 2.— The screech
ing of whistles and the ringing of fvells at
4 o'clock this afternoon in the vanity of
Mormon Channel annonncedsome unusual
occurrence at that section of the city, and
soon people were hurrying along Center
and Hunter streets in that direction in
buggies, on bicycles ana afoot. At the in
tersection of Center and Taylor streets the
people saw three monster locomotives of
the compound pattern moving slowly over
the newly laid tracks of the San Joaquin
Valley Railroad. The big engine, Claus
Spreckels, was the header, and. at»*hsd to
the engines were two fiatcars.
There was some delay in getting up
steam in the Southern Pacific yards, but
there seemed to be plenty o:i when they
moved. The trip from the Southern Pa
cific yards to this point was made in com
paratively good time. Henry Vogelsang,
an old Southern Pacific engineer, leaned
out of the cab window of the Clans Spreck
els with his hand on the throttle. He
moved his mixed train cautiously over the
track, and the people took advantage of
the slow rate to climb on top of the en
gine, the cabs, the coal-tenders, the pilots
and the freightcars. The ladies were
"boosted" on by the men in the crowd,
and the moving train was soon black with
people.
"iirst ride on the Valley road," yelled
one man on top of the cub. "No conduc
tor today," said another, as he jostled
against Engineer Vogelsang in the cab uf
the Claus Spreckels.
Every once in awhile the engineer would
open the whistle and the shrill report
would be answered by some of the facto
ries or mills uptown. . /
The big engines with tne cars and their
swarms of human freight were moved up
and down over the main track and over on
all the sidings and switches, arid the track
and roadbed stood the test well. Not a
single flaw was found along the line. Dur
ing the day a gang was ready putting the
finishing touches on the road in order ihat
the rolling ttock might be brought over
from the Southern Pacific yards to the com
pany's own line.
The material yards are alive with men
getting ties and rails in shape to move by
construction trains to the grade outsido
the city.
Many looked upon the valley road en
gines to-day who had never seen a locomo
tive other than those of the Southern
Pacific. The eneines and flatcars are
to-night on the tracks of the people's road.
A railroad magnate not many years ago
said in a spirit of resentment over some
fancied wrong done him by the City Coun
cil that he would make grass grow in the
streets of Stockton. If vegetation of this
character ever had a tendency to flourish,
here it has been effectually estopped by
the Valley road. Instead of grass there is
dust— dust everywhere— on the south side
of the city and on toward the Stanislaus,
caused by the construction gangs on the
San Joaquin Valley Railroad.
The Corral Hollow people are aiso work
ing away, and good progress is evident in
every department of the enterprise. Th&ir
workmen on the line by the slough cheered
the passage of the engines and then set
tled back with an evident; determination to
give a little exhibition of their own at
some future, date. . / ..
