Tne United States minister to Turkey
was vig rously denounced from th* pul
pit of the First Baptist church in tbis
city by Iter. J. U. Johnston, wbo bus
just roturned from a toree-montbs' trip
abroad, seven weeks of which wore spent
in the Holy Land and the Ottoman em
pire. It was in a graph to statem.-nt of
tbe deploralile condition of the Christians
in tue sultan's domain tint Mr. Johns
ton alluded to Minister Terrell.
"He is a traitor," said tno preacher,
"to his God, his country and himself,
tie ouaht to bo bung. He bas been
bribed by the sultan, who decorated his
wife and daughter and presented him
with a stallion.
"Our consuls aro all right, hut they are
powerless. E.itlani's minister to tiat
country is all Oir entira party,
thirty-four in nttmbor, signed a petition
to Fresiuent Cleveland immediate.y on
our arrival in NjW York asking lor Ter
rell's removal. 1 hope the papers all etver
the land will herald to tue world hia
shame. I did not believe tne stories 1
beard of Terrell before I reached Turkey,
uut 1 found tbsm only io< true."
Mr. Johnston concluded his remarks
hy saying that no itiea of the terrible
Situation in Armenia is to be gained
througX newspaper reports, as all news
is suppressed by the sultan's agent.
Danger Is Over
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 24, via So
da, li ilgaria. N0v.25.— There is no doubt
efforts are being made to m iintain order
in the distrctn where disturbances are
threatened, and suppress disorders where
outbreaks bave occurred. All danger is
now passeo, however. The governor of
Ha jin, who threatened to burn the con
vent there and set fire to the barley
fields, has, owing to strong representa
tions mado to the porte on the subject by
Mr. Terrell, been recalled, antl his con
duct will bo inquired into.
Iv response to an appeal directed by
Baron yon Calis, Austrian ambassador,
to tne Armenian patriarch, to exeit his
intluence to prevent another outbreak,
I whicli it was feared was propose), toe
patriarch says no such demonstration, Is
contemplated. "Atboneh," he says, "de
spair reigns umcng tbem, owing to in
cessant nirests and exiling ot Armeni
ans." The partiarch said 400 Armenians
in this vicinity hare recent y been exiled
to At.atolia. A local newspapor, snp
pressed last week because its editor re
fua-d to iiuhlisn an article sent him by
Turkish authorities condemn] g the "in"
Irigoea of Armenians," has been granted
permission to resume puriln ailon. The
absence of news from Zeiloun, where
Armenians are colleo-.ing in strong force,
and the failure o: the government to fur
nish any information regnrding the con
centration ot Turkish troops at Maraab
for an advance on Z itOUn, ure causing
s me uneasiness. Besides, no news is nb
t„inable Ron'erning the risings of Druses
against Turkish rule—one most serious
leatu c of the whole situation. The
linancinl situation continues to hamper
the government in the eliorts to restore
order in Asiatic Tnrkey, and thcro does
not seem to be any sign of relief.
United States Minister Terrell has re
ceived a dispatch from Aintav, announc
ing the safe arrival there of the Ameri

France or Huasia should publish tbe
stories reported officially by the cool

BANK STOCK TWABLE
According to a Decision hy a Modesto Judge
To lie Appealed
MODESTO.CaI., Nov. 2o.— Judge Minor
handed down a decision today in the
case of 0. Mcilenry, president of lhe
National bank of -Modesto et al.vs. W. A.
Downtr, tux collector of Stanislaus
otinty. which is ct interest to all national
banks of California.
Assessor J. F. Campbell assessed the
shares of t ie Modesto National bank and
made' a double assessment on account of
the shares not havir.it been assessed be
fore. The decision covers eighteen panes
of niunuscrii t. Judge Minor holds that
the assessment is valid.
The question in this case is whether
or not the owner of shares in nation d
hanks can he comti. lied to pay taxes lo tho
state on such shares. The tlecision is
v rv exhaustive and nrany nuthorties and
recti re of acts of concress and state
legislatures are cited. The decision cou
clu es as f dlows:
"A largo portion of the capital of the
state is invested In shares of stock of
nat onal hanks, and there is prohaoly no
mode of investment 10 profitable. Prop
erty of all other corporations andinii
v,duals hear- a burden oi taxation, lhe
leeislat on expressly declnres that stork
shall he taxed, the act of oongr*Sß per
mils it, and revenue laws of the state
were framed for the purpose ol reaching
property or everything ol tnat descrip
tion, and I do not believe that tbo leais
luturc of this stale lias beon so powerful
for evil and futile (or good as to or r
throw a p.ain provision nf organic law
and at the same time defeat the object
that it st .rted out to accomplish in the
enactment of a revenue law. namely, im
po ition of burdens ,f government upon
all property alike. In u,y opinion the
assessment is valid."
The decision affects (he thirty-five
national hanks in the state, and ail the
banks contributed to fighting tba case.
The case was a te3t ense lor all the banks.
Tue case wiil bu appealed.

A Trance Tedium Furnishes the Information.
The Ghosts Are Likely to Get
Had About It
Associated Press '•neclal Wlra
BAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-Mrs.
Josephine Gottlieoson, daughter of tba
late Governor Pieu, swore to a complains
today charging Jane Doe with murder.
I'ulice Jurlgo Low issued a • rch war
rant on the strength of the woman's
st .ry, empowering the police to recover
tbe bony of Andre Pico, her brother,
who. she says, was murdered and buried
in the tellar of the building at 10 Hayes
street about ten years a^o.
The polios laugh nt the story and de
olare that Mrs. (iottliebeon is the victim
of designing spi.'ilneliata. Mrs. Everlll
Voting, a t a oo medium, is said to have
eiv.n animal.ng impulse to tbe complain
ant. Mrs. Young, it is saio, asserts that
the spirit of Andre Pico appeared before
her in a bouquet of Mowers and related to
her tbe dale of his murder by a female
member ol his family and his subsequent
buiial in the baioment of tbe house on
the corner . f Polk and Hayes street,
where the Hens nt one time resided.
Mrs. Yojng It a been throwing a great
deal of light un the family affilrscfthe
last Stianish governor of Cali'ornia.
Within the past lew weeks, in audition to)
the disclosures oi the murder mv tery,
she has found a slsttr for Mrs. Gottl.eb
■on. 11 tne influences are favorable tho
median proposer to • cover tbe wonia.i,
who, she declares, oommitted the mar*
der and to see that justice is satisri-d.
She is gre tly afraid, however, that tba
publication or thostorv will n..t be favor
ably received by the shades nnd may re
suli in v miscarriage of her plans.
Mrs. Oottliebson r luaed t tell the
wa a it clerk or tne judge the nature of
the tra ot medium's manifestation. Tuis
portion f her story she regarded as ss
cied. Sh said that when the i.ody bad
been found she w uld be perfectly will*
ing to give all tbe information desired
relative to the messages Irom the land ol
shades. She bas been interested in spir
itualism for some lime . Two weeks ago
she attended a seanco given by Mrs.
V una. Mrs. Gottliebson was accom
panied hy a Mrs.Middleton.an old friend,
w.io, the medium has sinco found out, is
r aliy Mrs Goitliebson's sister. Previ
ous to this litoo Mrs. Gnttiieoson never
knew she had a long Inst sister. During
the evening Mrs. Young fell into a
t unce. She held a large bouquet of How
o s in her tian.i and depended on tba
fragrance of the blossoms to attract the
spirits. Sin was eminently successful.
As she lay in a i apparently lifeless con
dition tue spirits (luted about her bunch
of flowers and gave ber messages to the
people in the audience. Suddenly she
became greatly agitated.
"Pico, Pico," she said. Mrs. Gottlieb
son arose and said the message was evi
dently intended for her, as she was tba
daughter of ex-Governor Pico.
"it is the spitit of Andre Pico who
sjeaks." said the medium. "He was
murdered about ten years ago by a female
relative. The body now lies buried in tba
cellar of tbe house at 107 Hayes street.
Where the family at ono time lived. If a
search of the premises is made tbe oorpsa
will be found. '
The ahove message created a furore In
the circle. Mrs, Uottllebson was greatly
agitated. She asked several questions but
her bust and requested her to keep quiet
nnd not to take any stock in the story.
She refused to do so, however, and as
last determined to search the premises.
