GLADSTONE'S LETTER
A Characteristic Expression ol Views on the
Turkish Question
LONDON, Oct. 20.-A local paper says
Mine. Novkoff recently received tbe fol
lowing letter from Mr. Gladstone anent
the sultan and the Armenians:
"Dear Mme. Novkoff:—l shnli carefully
and for many reasons keep myself to
myself. I sea in my mind that wretched
sultan whom God has givon as a curso
to mankind waving his Hag in triumph,
and the adversaries at his leet are Rus
sia, Francs and England.
"As to the division of shame among
them, f care little enough, hut hope that
my own country will, tor its own good
be made conscious and exhibited to the
world lor its own full share, whatever
that may be.
"May God, in his mercy, send a speedy
end to the governing Turk and all his
doings—as I said when I could say and
even sometimes do, so 1 say in my polit
ical decrepitnde or death! always sin
cereiv voiirs, (Signed)
WILLIAM IS, GLADSTONE."
BANKS AND BUSINESS
The Week's Statement as a Whole Is Not
Encouraging
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—The Financier
sayß this week:
There were no changes of importance
in the statement made by tbe associated
banks of New York for the week ending
October 26th, the principal features being
the continued decrease ot loans and the
increase of $1,02,",000 in specie. As a
large number of barks were below the re
quired 25 per cent reserve on the pre
vious week, the contraction in loans were
lo have been expected. There was some
liquidation of loans from mercantile
sources, however. The loans of the Now
York city banks at the close of the cur
-ent week stood practically at the same
Sgure repurted.on June Ist. Orders were
received by several foreign houses to place
the suras of money, aggregating several
million dollars, on'time, but as the rate
demanded was too high the funds were
crapolyej on call loans, creating a tem
porary weakness in the market. The
hanks showed an actual increase of $991,
--800 in cash hold ings during the week;
lbe loss of $308,000 in legal tenders being
more than compensated by the gain of
$1.2011,800 in specie. The sudden increase
of the latter may be ascribed as much lo
iocal transfers and the shifting of funds
as any other cause. Tho deposits for the
past week show a falling off of $1,L'70,
--900, and the eifect of the week's opera
tions has been to increase tlie reserve to
$1,350,000. The statement as a wholo is
not encouraging and reflects conditions
which appear rather narrow. Bankers
cannot believe that the heavy niovemr
of money is over and a higher rate is
looked for wi hin the next month.
Sterling exchange continues high and
we seem to be at a stage where it would
take hut little to turn the tide either
way.
OFFICERS HUNTING HOBART
The Arizona Desperado Failed to Cover
His Tracks
The Public Is Aroused Because Numerous
Murders Have Occurred Recently.
Threats of Lynching
PRESCOTT, Ariz., Oot. 26.-Offlccrs
have been scouring the country for Ho
bart, the desperado, ever sinca ten min
utes after the murder of John Miller on
Thursday evening, but not until this
morning was any definite clue obtained
of him. Last nignt at 8 oclock the horse
ridden by the desperado on the night ol
the murcor retnured, and his condition
showed that he bad not been ridden
hard. This morning a telephone message
was receivsd from Chnpparel stating that
a man answering to his description had
been mot last night on foot within three
miles of Mayer's station, or only about
twenty-live miles from Prescott.
On receipt of the news sheriff Ruffner,
with throe deputies and two Indian trail
ers, started immediately in pursuit and
telephoned from Ohapparel this afternoon
that a fulior description obtuined o£ the
man met last night from purtios who met
him, corresponds exactly with that of
Hobart. The ofheors mounted fresh
horses and pushed forward as rapidly as
possiole, hoping to overtako him this
evening. Hobart is armed with a Win
chester and carries a belt full of cart
ridges, and unless surprised oy the offi
cers it is thought he will make a desper
ate Hehii for his life. Public feeling is
considerably worked up over the murder
and talk of lynching bim ia indulged in,
if he is brought back alive. Sentiment is
strong from the fact that within the past
fow months six murders have been com
mitted in this section. One of the mur
derers was killed by officers while trying
to escape, two are in jail under convic
tion and sentence of death, awaiting ap
peal to the Biipreme court, while two oth
ers are in jail awaiting trial.
MADE A CLEAN BREAST OF IT
But His Pockets Have Already Been
Cleaned Out
Secretary Orr of the State Insane Asylum
$10,000 Short—The Office la
Declared Vacant
STOCKTON. Oct. 26.-The expert ap
pointed to exomine the accounts of Major
Orr, the secretary ana treasurer of the
board of directors of tho state asylum For
tho insane for the past thirteen years,
today reported a shortage of $10,192. The
offics was deolared vacant today and a
hank officer was appointed to succeed
Orr, to make a demand on hiiu for the
money. Major Orr has been tho
treasurer and secretary for thu past
thirteen years, and during that time ho
has not made a report about the funds,
and the directors have never called for a
report. Six weeks ago Director Steffons
noticed erasures in the accounts that ex
cited his suspicions, and the examination
of the books was made on his suggestion.
The shortage is mainly in the account of
moneys received from patients delivered
at the asylum, and cleans out a fund that
has been accumulating for twenty years
or more. The directors will demand the
money from his bondsmen, but they will
not pay without a contest, claiming that
ttey are not liable beyond the term of
four years. Orr has held on as a contin
uous officer, but other otlicers and tbo
doctors are eie:ted for four-year terms,
and he gave only one bond many years
ago. The secretary and treasurer is
elected to s>rvo during the pleasure of
the board. Major Orr made a clean breast
of tbe defalcation wben charged wilb it
h v the directors and did not give any ex
cuses. A director says the major did not
how much ho was short, and wben (lie
amount was stated to him it staggered
bim. It is said that tbe shortage dales
back to 1885, aim that it commenced by
the ollicer taking small sums which he
expected to make good out of bis
monthly salary of $50, and when he
found be could not make it good he lost
hope and went deeper, tie did not save
a dollar, but spent the money in conviv
iality. Mafor Orr has been a prominent
citizen heie for many years and is an
able man. Ho was in tbe newspaper
business a number of years and recently
was a delegate to the free silver conven
tion in San Francisco.

BERLIN, Oct. 20.—(Copyrighted, 18fi, r >,
by the Associated Press.)—At the dedi
cation of the Emperor Frederick Memo
rial church and the Empress Augusta
monument, the empress appeared in pub
lic here for the til st time since her illness
which commenced at the Kiel fetes, be
ing brought, on by ovor-cxertion upon
that occasion. Tho fact (hat her majesty
had grown considerably thinner nnd
paler was commented upon on all sides.
Indeed, the health of the empress is still
delicate, and that is the reason why her
urthday, October 22, was observed in the
most strict family seclusion. The usual
congratulations and other ceremoniea
were omitted ami even the gala perform
ance prepared for the opera which was tj
give the reopening of the renovated the
ater a certain eclat, did not take place.
The physicians in attendance on her ma
jesty have strongly advised her to care
fully avoid all excitement and late hours
in order to fully recover hei health.
A curious featurojof the dedication
ceremonies was the choral sung ill the
church, Wben the Lord Mentis a Cross Let
Us Patiently Boar It, composed by a boy
IS years old, Feeder yon Willich, who,
when suffering from tho same oomplalnt
as Emperor Frederick, sent it to the lat
ter. Voting Willich died at the same time
as Emperor Frederick.
Emperor William opened the new su
premo law court of tho empire at Lei pale
today. His majesty arrived at noon and
was received al tho railo.-ad station by
the King of Saxony. The two sovereigns
walked together down tho front uf the
guard of honor and then drove through
tho town to tho new law court building.
Tneir majesties were heartily cheered by
tho crowds who lined the route, wnich
was profusely decorated and lined oy
troops, military associations and school
children.
The chiefs uf the various government
departments and the federal councillors
were present at tho Uw court, where the
arrival of tho monarchy was announced
by a flourish uf trumpets.
I'rince Hohenlohe, tho imperial cban
; cellor, rend the document?, which were
{ (iep.jstled beneath the last stone of the
buildings in which reference was made to
the impending unification of the judicial
system of tho country through the insti
tution of a civil code. They expressed tlie
hearty desire that by its verdicts the su
preme court will "contribute to the uni
versal triumph of justice, right and hon
esty und moy tney nourish in all Ger
man towns."
Baron Kastner, the Bavarian minis ter,
then handed a trowel to the emperor,and
the president of the reienstag, Baron yon
Bust Brenberg, pre.-ented his majesty
with v mallet with which he struck the
stone th rice and Said: '*ln tbe name of
the Triune Cud; right shall remain right
in Saxony."
Tbe emperor again tapped the stone
and the ceremony was concluded with
"hoohs" for the emperor and tbe king of
Saxony, the judges of the supreme court
and the president of the reienstag.
At the banquet which was subsequently
given m the main ball, his majesty ex
pressed the satisfaction with tbe new law
court building and drank to its pros
perity,
Tlie emperor also drank to the health of
Prince Hohenlohe and' other guests.
All accident occurred at the Dresdener
railroad station during the evening. The
depot was packed with people anxious to
witness the emperor's departure antl tho
great pressure of the crowd bore down on
the iron railing guarding the platform.
A boy was killed and many people were
■eriotisly injured by the overturning of
people which followed.
Princo Rismarcks health at present is
sxcellent. He walls and drives dnily
nd seems to have quite recovered fr im
his recent illness. Dr. Scbwelnnlnger, nis
physician, owing to ill health, has been
compelled to abandon most of bis practice
and will remain at Fredrichsruhe until
tbe end of the year.
The eniper.ir during tlie week spent a
few oaya in shooting on the estate of
Herr yon Wedel, chief of the imperial
household, at Prcsdml.
Next week his majesty will lake part In |
the b.ittuesof Philip you Luelnberg' Bpre
serve at Liebenourg.
The chief topic of the newaspapers'
discussion during tbe pust week has been
tlu new battalions. Tho secretary for
war is not satisfied with their operations
or utility and the military experts declare
that tjieir purpose, forming cadres to lie
called upon in case, of war, is far from
practicable. The emperor desires to have
the half battalions made whole ones,
hence the Liberal Socialist press talk of
ti forthcoming new military bill.
Tbe full text of bis majesty's spoech at
tho military banquet at Metz is now
published .111 the somi-offlcal Hamburger
Correspondent, and in its wording it is
quite sensational. lie said among other
things:
"1 expect during limes of peace a strict
observance of iron discipline. It is only
by the old-time Prussian use of the
offensive that we may hope to attain auy
tiiine."
By special imperial edict the copies of
the rules governing tbo tteatment of re
cruits are being made ready for tho com
mander of each regiment to hand to his
subordinate officers. This action is being
taken on account of the number of cases
of cruel treatment of recruits which have
recently been made public.
The secretary of husbandry, Haron Yon
H >inniersteni Lnxten. at a uanquet given
to It m at Kalisbon recently udmilted the
aire need of relief leit by German hus
bandly, but said that Count Yon Kanltz'n
bill would be no cur" foi It. The lalling
prico of silver, he Slid, was n grave dan
ger hut the government was considering
means to counteract it. This speech has
not pleased the Agrarians, who want his
reasons for denouncing the Kanitz bill.
In reply to many recent complaints ' f
German exhibitors at the Chicago world s
fair that their prizes and medals have no
yet arrived here, Or. Bosso, the ininistir
of public instruction, has issued v ictttr
stating that tbe prizes could not bo •:

THE VENEZUELAN CLAIMS

The British Ultimatum Has Not Reached
Caracas—On Monday the Venezuelan
Cabinet Will Be Named
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2G.-The uction
of the British Guiana autborites in re
jecting by a vote of 10 to 8 the policy
urged by British Minister Chamberlain
lor arming tbe Venezuelan frontier with
Maxim guns, as exclusively told in tbe
Associated Press dispatches, excites in
teres! in Official and diplomat 0 circles.
It Is said to he a most unusual course
for the colonial government to reject, tbe
advice of tne home government on ques
tions of important public policy, it ap
pears also that following the adverse
action in British Ouiana the London
foreign office cabled directions to Sir
Charles governor-general of the
colony, to return to London, ft is stated
here that this was equivalent to a recall
and tbe belief is expressed that it Indi
cates thedlsprpvalof the London authori
ties ol tho Intoility of the governor-gen
eral to carry out tbe policy laid down by
Minister Chamberlain, 'l be position ot
the governor-general is ono of lUflh dig
nltv that it is not usual to summon him
to London merely for eorsnltatlon
although this happened when tlie Vene
zuelan ouestion reached a critical stuge
in 1811. Among those in position to ho
best informed the belief its quite positive
that Sir Charles has been recalled nnd
that the action of the Guiana council is
the direct cause of it. The governor-gen
eral is now (di his way to London.
The British ultimatum has Jnot yet
reached Caracas, The understanding
here is that it was forwaided irom Lon
don to Berlin aim thence by steamer Irom
Hamburg to La Gnayra. The trip would
take two or three weeks, so that its re
ceipt in Venetnla is anticipated within
the next few ita/p.
Monday is the "feast of Bolivar," the
national holiday ot Venezuela, and it is
believed that President Oresp© will take
occasion on that day to name the mem
bers of his new cabinet, ineutiing the
minister of foreign affairs.

LONDON, Oct. 26.—Great Britain was
yesterday unexpectedly tumbled into a
big war scare by a dispatch to the Times
Irom Hongkong, telling of tho sharp
movement made by Russia in getting a
firm grip on China, and at the same time
Great Britain was suddenly plunged into
the midst of real winter weather with a
heavy fall ol snow in the north. The
war scare and the cold weather still pre
vail, rivaling each other in their efforts
to monopolize public attention, with the
former bavin; a little tho best of it-

in gravity only to tbe one which pre

The diplomats have not yet recovered
their equanimity, so rudely disturbed,
and It seems likely tbat they will not do
so for some timo to come, though the re
port has not yet been conlirmed by the
British foreign otiice.
Tbe Westminster Gazette, commenting
upon tho developments in tho east,points
out that nn excellent opportunity iB now
afforded for making a beginning with
what it describes os the ' union in higher
diplomacy of the United States ami
Great Britain, to which nil thinking
men in the English-speaking world so
confidently look forward. Continuing,
the Westminster Oazette remarks that
"America, with ourselves, is a pacific
fiower. For years she has taken great In
terest in the development ol Japan, Corea
and China. The interests of John Hull
und Cousin Jonathan are identical.
Neither desires to disturb the statu quo.
Both wish to get a share of what commer
cial advantages may he going. Should
the Times' Hongkong dispatch be con
lirmed and the czar's advisers unfortu
nately persevere m their determination
to disturb the balance of power in the far
east, Japnn will look for friends, and
thoso friends are obviously Great Britain
nnd the United States. A little anxiety
in the foreign office is cheaply bought ii
it is led thereby to carefully consider the

and Nicaragua.
In connection with the situation in the
far east the English newspapers make
much of the announcement today that
China has conferred the order of the
double dragon upon several high officials
of the Russian foreign department.

Western Passenger association now de
clare that the organisation of the associ
ation is a practically estnblisned fact,
although they admit that thero are differ
ences which may operate to knock the
agreement into a cooker) hat. The chief

trans-Missouri lines will fall into the
plan, and if they do not tho wholo affair
will go hy the boards.
The Atchison has declared repeatedly
that it will join nothing that dees not
comprehend the territory west of the
rivor as well as east of it. If only the
difficulties surrounding the business with
Colorado common points ear, he got
around, there will oe no trouole of mu
ting the association into active operation
at on o. It is said by the ortimists tbat
both tlie Union Tacilic and the llenver
and Rio Grande havo signalized their
willingness to come into the association
aud that after that thero is nothing more
to be said. However, tbe lines have been
as near as this to an agreement before
and missed it entirely.
