Washington, Oct. 4.—The agricultural department has received information from English sources that among the cattle shipped to London from Australia six undoubted cases of pleuropneumonia were discovered.

Isaac Bassett,the aged doorkeeper of the senate, is lying seriously ill at bis home in Washington from stomach trouble. Harry Wright, (lie veteran baseball player and manager, died yesterday afternoon at Atlantic City, N. J., from typhoid

Fire in Warren, U. 1., last night dt stroyed three large cotton mills, two warehouses, sheds, freight ears and other property, causing a loss of 11,150,000; insurance, $1,050,000. Reports from Washington state that there lias ta-en no change in ex-Senutor Mahone’scondition. The attending physicians have failed to notice any improvement and hold out no hope. Edward Moe shot and fatally wounded his wife at a hotel in Chicago yesterday. She was with another man, and the enraged husband broke down the door and immediately began shooting. Her companion escaped. Mrs. Jane Hudson died yesterday at Maple Rapids, Mich., from sickness brought on by want. Two hours before she died a letter was received enclosing a check ol H.dOO from the pension department, for which she had lomz waited.
dred Armenians, armed. The authorities summoned him to surrender these people, giving until 3 o’clock in the afternoon, when tho building will be
j storinod.
Great consternation prevails at tho palace, and the sultan has not been in bed since Monday. It is felt that a j crisis has arrived, and there is much anxiety lest other revolutionary factious ] should join with the Armenians. Since the Greek revolution, Constantinople has never fallen into such ter-
ror as is now reigning.
Later advices say the police have not yet attempted to clear the patriarchate, and it is hoped that they will not resort to force, as u most fearful massacre would inevitably result. The Armenians are huddled together in the church with barely standing room. They have to depend for lood upon such scraps as are brought to them. It is estimated at the patriarchate that over 300 Arme-
nians have been killed.

San Francisco, Oct. 4.—The trial of Theodore Durrant was replete with sviisatious yesterday. Henry J. McCoy, general secretary of the Young Men’s Christian association, who was cited for contempt last Monday for telling Juror Truman that if he did not hang Durrant the people would hang him, was lined $250, with the alternative of live days in the county jail. During tile cross examination of a witness summoned by the defense the prosecution developed the fact that a student at Cooper Medical college who did not attend the lecture delivered by Dr. Cheney on the afternoon of April 3 was recorded present in the rollcall book. This testimony is of the greatest importance to the prosecution, from the fact that it shows the unreliability ot
the book.
The last sensation of the day was an order made by the court- committing Miss Carrie Cunningham, a newspaper reporter, to the comity jail for refusing to answer a question. The defense desired to impeach the testimony of Mrs. Leake, who said she did not tell Miss Cunningham that she saw Durrant and Miss Lament enter Emanuel church on the atteruoou of April 3. Miss Cunningham testified that Mrs. Leake did not tell her what she had seen, but when asked to reveal tho source of her information the witness declined to answer. An order was made committing the witness to the county jail for con- | tempt, but on motion of the defense she will be given another chance to testify before being imprisoned. Several more of the students testified that they did not answer for Durrant when tile rollcall was made out at tho ; medical college. Attorney Duprey called the attention | of the court to the fact that Robert N. Lynch, private secretary to Rev. J.

Dentli of Mm. spencer — Notes* Montpelier, Ind , Oct. 4.—Yesterday this place was startled by a terrific explosion west of the eitj’, which shook buildings and broke windows, followed by a shock not unlike an earthquake. At first it was thought that a large nitroglycerine magazine located two miles west of the city had exploded. Upon investigation this surmise was found to be a mistake, but the cause was soon discovered. About 200 yards from tho magazine was found a large hole in the ground and the mangled remains of two men. Largo trees were uprooted and pieces of flesh and clothing could be seen hanging to the limbs. The two dead men were identified by their clothing and a gun as Andrew Cain and William Grose, who had gone ’coon hunting the night before. It is sup|K*sed they had built a fire over some buried cans of the explosive, which had soon exploded with such dire results, but the true cause will probably
never be known.
COFFIN TRIAL KNDKD. Jury Fiiult* Francis \. Guilty and Pcrci-
val It. Not Guilty.
Indianapolis, Oct. 4. — The trial of Francis A. and i’ercival B. Coffin before Judge Baker of the United States court here was ended yesterday afternoon, the jury bringing in a verdict of guilty against Francis and not gudtv as to Peroival. The ease was one of many arising from the wrecking of the Indianapolis National bank, and for which
admission into this country at San Francisco on the ground that he is a naturalized citizen of the United States, presents no novel features. The law is very plain on that point. The act approved May l>, 1883, provides “That hereafter no state court or court of the United States shall admit Chinese to citizenship and all laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed.” As to Gee Hop's having a passport signed by the secretary of state, tl;* department men know nothing, nor tylt of any advantage to him. The net prohibiting courts from admitting Chinese to citizenship was passed in 1882, eight years before Hop’s papers were issued, hence they are null and void ami were so at the time they were issued, as was also the passport. If Hop belongs to the prohibited class he will not be per-
mitted to land.
