'SAID PASHA’S FLIGHT. Knows the Sultan Too Well to Place Faith In His Word, - HIS LIFE WAS IN DANGER. Turkey's Ruler Feared Hie Popular Minister Might Join the Malcontent Party. Proloelaut Pastors D a Rather Than Accept Moslemlsm — Circassians Have Orders to Destroy Armenian Villages. London, Deo. 7.—The Constan cinoplo •orrespondent of The Times says; In declining the appoint mens of grand vizier, Said Pasha asked the sultan’s permission, on the ground of. bad health, to retire and live quietly abroad. This rankled in the sultan’s mind, and Said Pasha, who is neither a novice or * a coward, is persuaded that the sultan would htlve killed him had he entered the Yildiz palace. The secret of the whole business is that Said is so popular and so highly esteemed that it is feared he might join the malcontent ( party.. He has always been regarded as the most anti-English of all the oflicial pashas. The story is current here | that the sultan him returned to his ' youthful habit of dram drinking. The Standard has a disputth from Constantinople which says that aiier Said’s first refusal of the office of grand vizier ho was imprisoiied for a week at the Yildiz palace. The Daily News correspondent says: Said Pasha’s proclivities ' are Ru.-sian, and surprise is expressed that he did not take refuge at the Russian embassy, instead of at the .British embassy It is the sultan questioned him as to the origin of certain Seditious placards, and, on his ignorance, the sultan reproached qim with being at the... head of the revolutionary movement.” He has the reputation of being a jnost upright and single minded minister. Three Protestant pastors, Tanzarian at Itichnach, Krikor at Kos and Atlasian and wife at, Hesenik, died rather than accept Moslemism, The Circassians from Sivas under Miraly Bey, arrivitig at the Angora frontier, produced orders from the vali of Sivas to devastate all the Armenian villages. The Angoran officials thereupon excluded them. At.' Gemerek, near Cesarea, Turks and Christians united and barricaded the streets and repulsed four attacks of the Circassians. ■ The rising at Cesarea was arranged for Nov. 15, but was forbidden by the government until Saturday last. A dispatch from Constantinople alleges that the British warships Imogene and Cockatrice have landed blue jackets at Pera to protect the English embassy. A dispatch from Vienna says: It-is stated that ex-Sultan Murad has not fled from Constantinople, but has been secretly killed by the sultan’s entourage •n account of his liberal tendencies.

Washington, Dec. 7.—The house was in session but half an hour yesterday, when it adjourned until Monday. Mr. Baker of New Hampshire, who has proclaimed war upon Secretary of Agriculture Morton because of the. latter’s refusal to expend an appropriation for the purchase of seeds for distribution among congressional constituents, attempted to put through a resolution calling upon the secretary for information upon the subject, but Mr. McMillan of Tennessee, I objected.

Among the many bills introduced yss- I terday was one by Mr. Overstreet of Indiana to authorize the suspension of pensions obtained by fraud. Mr. Harris of Ohio introduced a measure which provides for levying a duty on wools as follows: Wools amt ■ hair of a first class, 11 cents per pound; second class, 12 cents; third class and i ’on camel’s hair of the third class, the I value whereof shall be 13 cents or less per pound including charges, the duty is to bo 32 per cent ad valorem.

I Washington, Dec. 7.—The Indiana: delegation is apparently a unit in asking for a‘place on the rivers and harbors i committee for Mr. Hemenway, and other demands are being subverted to that encl. Meanwhile there is said to be a three-cornered fight on between Messrs. Steele, Johnson and Watson. Either Steele or Johnson will be the leader of the Indiana delegation, which honor will be decided by the comparative importance of committee assignments of tlie two members, and Watson is said to be backing Steele for the honor, as it would tend to lessen Johnson’s strength in his district and thus give Watson a better chance for a renomiiiation, as. the two men have been t irown into one district by a new i apportionment.

Chicago, Dec. 4.—Three quarters of i a million dollars has been stolen from the campaign fuud of the Democratic I party raised for the years 1893, 1894 and : the spring of 189ik This charge is made by M. C. McDonald and Aiderman John Powers. It is sustained by the newly elected chairman of the county central committee, Thomas Gahan, in the statement that the funds of the past two years have not been accounted for. The money was raised for the campaign which resulted in the election of John P. Hopkins over George B. Swift as mayor, for the county commissioners’ campaign following, for the aldermanic caui;>aign, for the Wenter.contest aud fort; drainage channel campaign but I recently closed. The Democratic administration of the central committee, born out of the assassjinatipn of Carter Harrison, is charged with the misuse of this money. And. for this misuse- no explanation is at present forthcoming from the Democratic citizens who stand under the charge of having taken the money for their own personal benefit, involving in its expenditure trips to Europe, to Vyest Baden and to Hot Springs, and the building of various expensive residences in different parts of the cjty. n - ; . ■ WANTED HOT BREAD.
