LONDON, April 18.—Copyrighted, 1895, ly the Associated Press.—The correspondent ojt' the Associated Press writing from Armenia, under date of March 15, says: "I have traveled on horseback and in springless wagons many hundreds of miles in Russia and Persia and have visited Armenian colonies as far east as the Caspian sea and as far south as the city of Teheran, and I have learned only after the most careful investigation and verilicat'ion of the facts, that the Armenian question will soon reach an acute and painful crisis. In fact, Armenia is preparing for war. '•The revolutionary party has now both money and guns. During the pa.st eight weeks money lias poured into the revolutionary fund in a steady stream from the Armenian colonies in Batoiun, Tiiiis. Baku, Erivan, Etchmiad/.i:i and other places in Russia, and I from

Rescht, Kazvin, Teheran, Tebriz, Khoi and other cities in Perisa. How much money has been raised no one knows except the leaders of the revolutionary party themselves and they are disposed to keep their affairs very quiet. "The central idea of the plan of campaign is a general uprising of Armenians throughout the Turkish empire some time during the month of May. The leaders have promised the people in the eastern part of Armenia that the chief attack would be made in the city of Constantinople itself, and that the brunt- of the lighting will bo borne by the Armenians resident therein bur. this may be only a subterfuge to encourage the faint-hearted at Van, Bitlis and Mousli. The leaders have even gone so far as to declare that the first attack will be oil the palace of the sultan, and that the reign of the Hamid will come to a sudden end. The. younger Turks, particularly those who have traveled abroad, ardently wish that the present .sultan was anywhere except on I the throne. "The Armenians have at least 8.000

Martini-Henry rifles hidden in secret places in the mountains not a great distance from Lake Van. "For a handfull of untrained Armenians to deliberately begin a light with the 300,UOO regular troops of the Turkish empire is folly too coliosal for human conception yet one must take into account the underlying motives of the revolutionary leaders before passing liital judgment. The purpose is not to I bring Turkey to terms in a fair fight, but to secure a settlement of the quarrel by the intervention of the European. powers. "Before the revolution is three months old, the powers, it is believed, will be compelled to take a hand in the conflict, I for the cruelty, atrocity, the outrage, the blood-lust find butchery of the srruggle will be so unthinkably horrible that

Christian humanity will interfere. Then Armenia, it if hoped, may get her freedom, aiul the Turkish empire may be [lorn limb from limb, and thrown piecemeal to its expectant neighbors. Thus it is a possibility that Palestine, the birthplace of Christianity, may at last come into the possion of a Christian nation. "For the most part the revolutionary leaders art of the younger and more pv«gtvssivu generation of Armenians, who argue that it is no worse that a thousand Armenians slum id be killed at one time than that they should be, killed separately during a period of a few months or years. "To what extent the plans of the revolutionary leaders are approved of by thf Armenian people at large, it is diilieult to tell. I seriously doubt if those plans are known in detail to mor-j than 5 per cent of the Armenians. Still there asv genuine patriots who believe thai to Armenia, from the dreadful condition :o which she has sunk, they must surrender some of their fellow countrymen to torture, outrage and death. On this point 1 can do no better than quote the significant reply of Mgr. Khrimian when questioned point blank en the subject: 'Judge not that ye be Hot judged.' "It distresses the venerable father greatly even to think of the revolutionary plans for he is a good man who has a great and tenner love for hisr people. It is his earnest wish that the Russian government shall do something to end the misery of Armenia and he has asked permission to go to St. Petersburg to make a personal appeal to the czar.

This request has been refused. What that may mean, no one outside of St. Petersburg can tell beyond the supposition that the czav does not wish to take any action until the Turkish commission has had a fair chance to show what it means to do. There is a belief in Europe that Russia desires to make the Armenians Russian subjects by annexing the eastern end of Turkey. "Curiously enough, this belief is not shared by the Russians of the Caucasus region. The Georgians certainly would resent, any further increase ii the Armenian population.. The business methods of the Armenians are not highly approved of by Georgians and Russians. It is1, therefore, believed unlikely that Russia wants the Armenians hilt whether or not she wants the Turkish territory which the Armenians iniiabit is quite another matter. For the most »art the average Armenian is anxious to have some other man fight liis battles, and he is willing to "believe that England and Russia are only waiting for a chance to come in and dismember the Turkish empire. "The Armenian newspapers in Russia and Persia contain no hint, however remote,-of their preparations, but contain only denunciation of Turkish tyranny and demands for the enforcement of the (51st article of the Berlin treaty. The lower classes are less discreet. In Tillis, especially, they fill themselves tip with vodka and go about the streets clamoring lor an Armenian king. As the time for the revolutionary uprising approaches the words of the Armenian Catholic, Mgr. Khrimian, have an added significance: 'Armenia is in sore distress, Iw r, her suffering will Boon be at an eiid.'

WHISKY TRUST REORGANIZED. President Gromiliut Disposed of but Not \Viiinnit a Kielc.

Pj:o::i.\.T!i.s., April J8.—The whisky trust reorganization committee carried yesterday's annual stockholders meeting of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding compa: .f by storm and when they adjourned had disposed of ex-President (jreenhut, elected a full board of directors and empowered the board to take any necessary action toward recovering from the trust's late officials any property that may be due tot-he corporation.

But Mr. Greenhut was not at all dociie, being present at the meeting with objections at every turn, refusing to resign as director, and before adjournment he personally superintended to serving of papers in 11 libel suits of $."0,000 each. The suits were served upon the members of the reorganization committee, Messrs. B. B. Hartshorne, John I. Waterbury, F. W. Lockwood, Jules Bache and W. E. Hut ton, and upon Attorney Levy, Mayer of Chicago, Attorney Nathan. Bijur of New York. Receiver John McNulta and the three experts, who have been examining the trust's books. 8&The ex-preside 1made the session interesting by reading a decidedly warm annual report and b}* intimating that he intended to tight the new management to a finish.

The following is the company's new directorate: Samuel M. Rice of New* York, T. H. "Wentwortii of New York, J. M. Hutton of Cincinnati, William J. Mover of Chicago, Walter M. Schftel of New York, John M. Mott of Chicago, Floyd E. Jennison of Chicago. As there was no quorum of directors present the election of officers will be hold in Chicago in the near future, when Samuel 31. Rice will very probably be chosen to succeed .Joseph B. Greenhut as president.

TROUBLE AMONG THE CHICKASAW3. 'iv! Hundred Natives Itelel Against the .Present. ov» riiiJient.

ST. Lotis, April

is.—A

special to The

Republic from Guthrie, O. T., says: Couriers just arrived here from Tishomingo, the capital of the Chickasaw nation. report that a battle is raging between Governor Moscley and 200 insurrectionists. Six people have been killed and eight wounded, so the report says, and the greatest excitement prevails.

The cause of the trouble is due to bad political blood, which has long pervaded the Chickasaw seat of government, and lias existed since the legislature ignored Willis Brown, Charles Brown and Noah McGill, who claimed to have been duly elected sheriffs of the nation, alleging that the legislature did not have authority to reject their claims to such offices.

On Tuesday morning Governor Moseley issued orders to all sheriffs, constables and i.-paries throughout the nation to repovi to him at once with arms. When the i.fliers gathered around the house, 200 enrage,'! men, headed by McGill and the Brown brothers, rushed from and adjoining house and a deadly fire followed. The names of the dead and wounded could not lie ascertained by the couriers, owing to the great excitement which prevailed.

Governor Aloseley a ud his official retinue escaped by rushing to houses on the outskirts of. the town. Moseley has called a special session of the legislature to take aclion. Tishomingo is now in a terrible slate of excitement and white people are fleeing. Another light is looived for at any moment.

OIL BOOM BUSTED.

jJreai in l'ri« ami a Drop Irom to ^.1! Is riii! Kesult. PITTS!- I NApril hs.—The break in

the oil market came at 2:'J0 yesterday* afternoon and it descended upon the Pittsburg exchange like a thunderstorm. The market had been hovering about 2.32 ait afiernoon with light trading and from the fact that the price of relined oil had received another lift yesterday, no big break was expected. In fact ic was believed that oil would close higher. But at 2:o0 t-^e slump began ami inside of 10 minutes it had gone from 2.132 to 2..'37.

The brokers stood about dazed by the suddenness of the blow, and each quotation from the Oil City exchange brought a lower figure, until $1.10 was reached. This was within a few minutes of closing lime, and it rallied 7 points, closing at s2.17. The excitement was more intense than at any time since the present hull movement began. The break was feared, but not expected at this time. Operators scarcely knew what to make jt the situation, though many predict that the slump is only temporary, and that the market will again recover.

Kobbers ltesort to Acts of Cruelty. CORKY, J-'a., April IS.—Three masked

robbers visited a farmhouse about nine miles from this place last night. A family by the name of Callahan occupied the house and with them lived Mrs. Hanlihan, aged 85. The robbers suspected that she had money, and asked her where it was. Upon her refusal to tell, they choked the old woman, and linally burned her in a frightful manner with a lamp, the members of the Callahan family being kept in submission in tiie meantime by threats. The robbers secured The old woman will probably die from the effects of the fright and her injuries. The same men afterwards visited the house of Thomas Moore, who was almost killed in an encounter with them.

Elevator Accident.

PiTTsr.UKG, April IS.—William Dean, a plasterer, was instantly killed, and Joint Reef and Harry Goshen were badly injured in an elevator accident yesterday in the Arrott -block, an unoccupied building. Deau was plastering inside the elevator-shaft while the car was being tested, and in descending it caught him, crushing him fatally* and hurling him to the ba-sement 'several floors 'below. Reef, the elevator boy, became frightened and-jumped frOin the car .between two floors* and was hurt about the head. Goshen Was working in the basement, and hearing' the noise, looked up the shaft. He was struck by falling pieces of timber and seriously injured.

SAN :.\M Ap~ •.— urn Eman•lel church murders arte, ^till the main topic of discussion in this city. Notwithstanding the fact that one or two newspapers have f.-ied id convicted Theodore Durantof the frightful crimes, there seems to be a reaction in favor of the accused young man. The#evidence so far produced against him is only circumstantial, and while the police say they have enough evidence to convict 10 men, it is doubtful if any jury would find Durant guilty, unless further conclusive proof is furnished.

The young medical student does not act like a guilty man, and if he did commit- the murders, he is certainly a man of remarkable nerve. Last night he slept well and he has a good appetite. He continues to assert his innocence, and his whole demeanor is that of a man confident of proving it when the time comes. The inquest over the remains of Minnie Williams was continued. Durant protested against being forced to attend the inquest and said his attorneys advised him that the police had no right to make him go. He was told by the officers that if he refused to go they would take him by I force, and he linally reluctantly accom-

panied them to the coroner's ollice. Rev. Dr. Gibson was the lirst witness :. called. He said he had seen Miss Williams probably three times and was not intimate with Durant. Dr. Vogel testitied that Durant came to the party at his house Friday night a few minutes before 10 o'clock. His forehead was covered with perspiration, but he saw 110 blood about his person. Durant asked permission to wash his hands before he entered the parlor. Dr. Vogel had never seen Miss Williams and l)uraiit- together, nor had never heard Miss Williams speak of the accused man. The witness stated that his niece, Miss Turner, had told him that Durant had asked her to allow him to examine her about some complaint.

E. "Williams, the father of the murdered girl, testified that she had said to him that Durant had not treated her right, but she did not go into details. He identified the pocket-book

The body of Miss Lamoiit was shipped to her home in Dillon, Moil., yesterday in charge of her sister.

Suicided on Account of the 3lurdcrs.

SAN FRANCISCO, April is.—Joseph McCiinchy committed suicide at- his home on Locust avenue last- night by hanging. It is believed that the murders in E.-.uanuel church affected his reason, as he had been reading all the news obtainable on the subject. When last seen, aoout lu o'clock, he was lying in bed reading a newspaper, and about an hour latev his mother went to his room, and finding him gone, made a .search of the house, finding his dead body in the basement.

Wages Hestored.

FALL RIVER, Mass.. April IS.—The cotton manufacturers Tuesday afternoon met irul voted to restore the schedule of wages in force prior to Aug. 20, J.MI4, the restoration to go into effect April 22, 1805.

Indications.

Generally fair weather, warmer in western portion northerly winds, becoming variable.

found

Durant-'s pocket as one he had given liis daughter. The testimony^ of the witnesses who claimed to have seen Durant and Miss Williams entering the church early Friday evening was rather vague. "They saw a man and woman enter the gate to

the church yard. The man wore a hat and coat resembling those worn by Durant, but they were not- positive that Durant was the man.

Tho testimony of other witnesses was to the effect that they had never seen Durant and Miss Williams together and had never heard them speak of each other.

An afternoon paper published a .sensational story to the effect that- a trail of biood had been found leading from the church to Durant-'s house, but the tale is highly improbable as since Friday night there has been a heavy shower that would have obliterated traces of blood on rhe.'sidewalk.

The funeral services over the body of Miss Williams were held yesterday in I the First Baptist church. An immense crowd attended and hundreds of floral pieces were sent. George King, who says that he found Durant in the church the day Miss Lainont was murdered, was one of the pallbearers, fiev. Gibson was also in attendance. ILev. Boynton made a brief address, referring to tho murders, and many of the women present, wept.

NKW YOKK. April H.—Tt will not surprise me in the least to see anvtlung in the way of spring bonnets, tor the new ones have shown such a remarkable variety that nothing short of a three decked caravel has been lelt out. Certainly there are wonderfully pretty and tasteful hats and bonnets to be seen, but then again there are others so fearfully and wonderfully made that they are very appropriately named "scare hats." On them are heads of various known and unheard of animals and birds, with wings of all descriptions disposed of in a manner to get the most astonishing

and broad elfect. There are also jrctty aud romantic gypsy flats, with wreaths of jink roses, and other hats whereon there are great still' branches of rose trees, with several heavy roses and buds, besides leaves. Some of these brandies appear to have been grafted with different roses, since pink, yellow, white and deep red all bloom upon the one stalk. There are hats whose brims bend down, others with rolling brims, still others with fluted edges. The Yiking shaped wings ornament them till, or nearly all. Some hats which have

been made to dip in front and in the back I have been deftly turned so that the rolled edges turn up from the face, and the dip is on the sides. One black straw of this kind had four large black plumes and three donkey ear bows of light brown velvet ribbon standing bet ween the plumes.

This made a very effective hat. A lovely gypsy flat had two drooping black plumes on the left side, two fancy wings on tlu- top and a bunch of gilt wheat cars. On the left side was a- wreath of large damask roses which drooped in the back, A beautiful toque was made of poppy red velvet and had a double alsatian bow on the top and four brown plovers' wings. This toque was to match a scarlet vest in a suit. On another bonnet there were two scarlet and black velvet poppies nearly 0 inches in diameter, and these were set on the sides of the bonnet, which was of black lace puffed over stiff net. It seems as though there is no limit to the styles, but the flowers are limited—by the strength of the wearer only or the size of the show windows. Well, flowers are beautiful, and it is a pity that anybody wants a scare hat instead of one lad MI with beauty. Evening bonnets are low, and except for the wide side effects are sin 1, but: the street headweur is fright fully large. I noticed I one bonnet for promenade, made of .scarlet dot ted net over brussels foundation. The red was pui'ied up very high in front, and on to]) of the ]u 1*1* there was a tuft of fine grasses, with 1 iny blue star Hewers. Another was set on the back, and from llio center rose a large tuft of peacock feathers, curled into fanciful shapes. One might I imagine this to be a dream of horror, but among the other brilliant things it called forth no more than a passing glance.

Tiie blouse and separate waist: will bo worn now in a lew short weeks without any kind of wrap. Some of these blouse waists are very rich, particularly one made of till* darkest prune velvet', with epaulets made of whito lace over stiff net, which causes them to set. out like-wings. The belt was wide, and made of bengaline. It would be impossible to wear even a cane

over such a waist, so it is considered a costume in itself and worn accordingly Capes are made over crinoline lining so that- they fall into quite as uncompromising folds as those of the skirt, which they are often made to match. One was very niuch admired. It was of light grayish green whipcord cut to a point in front and scarcely to the waist line in the back. There was a black lace collarette applied flat which reached to the edge of the shoulders and then down the front, and on each shoulder were set jabots of black accordion plaited chiffon. The combination made a very striking garment. The gown was of the same material, but the skirt was entirely plain.
