CONSTANTINOPLE,

THEM

May 17.—The note

presented to the sultan by the representatives of the powers respecting reforms in Armenia comprises 2.1 closely •written quarto pages. Among the measures preliminary to the reforms the note demands the appointment of a high commissioner, general amnesty for and release of all political prisoners, the revision of certain judgments and the appointment of a commission to sit at Constantinople, charged with the surveillance and application of the reforms and working in concert with the high commissioner previously referred to.

The principal reforms demanded are that the governors and vice governors of Van Erzeroum, Sivas, Bitlis, Kharput and Trebizonde be Christian or Mussulman, according to how the population of these places be divided. In any case the governor or vice governor is to be a Christian. The note also suggests that such officials should first be approved by the powers.

In regard to the finances all the taxes'' are to be collected by local and not by state officials, and enough is to be retained before the money is forwarded to Constantinople to defray the cost of local administration. This is the exact opposite to the present system by which all taxes are first sent to Constantinople, from which city but little money returns to Armenia.

The judicial reforms proposed by the powers make radical changes in the present system, insure proper trials, the surveillance of prisons and the total abolition of torture. I

The gendarmerie, or police, is to be composed equally of Turks and Christians, and the latter and Kurds are still to be retained in the notorious Hamadian cavalry, but they are not to be al- I lowed to have arms except during drill,

Finally the government is to strictly enforce the laws against compulsory conversions to Islam. I

In many circles here it is contended that the foregoing reforms are quite inadequate, and that the abuses complained of by the Armenians will soon I recommence.

The sultan read the note of the powers attentively, &iid his reception of it was not unfavorable. It is understood that he recognized that the proposals do not compromise his sovereign rights or dignity. He has had several conferences with the various ambassadors, and in a conference with Baron Calice, the Austrian ambassador, the latter strongly urged the sultan to acquiesce with the demands of the powers. The sultan was not offended and sent him a valuable present. His majesty appears to count upon the moral support of Emperor William of Germany, to whom he sent an autograph letter by Bertram Effindi, under secretary of the bureau of indirect taxation, who started for Berlin last Thursday.

S#.' FIRE

AT CONEY ISLAND, te.

Over fifty lluildiiige Arc in Ashes and it Number of Families Are HoiuelesM.

NKW YORK,

May

17.—A

fire which

threatened to destroy several blocks in the most thickly populated section of Coney Island started yesterday in Feltman's dancing pavilion, and quickly spread to the adjoining buildings.

The fireboat- Boody joined the firemen in the efforts to stop the progress of the flames, but to little advantage. A call for aid was sent to Sheepshead Bay, Parkville, Eensonhurst, Bath Beach and Brooklyn. The lire burned fiercely, and the efforts to prevent it from I spreading farther met with no success,

Within a short time the O'Brien's hotel, the St. Nicholas hotel, Steubenbord's hotel and 15 small frame struc- I tures had been destroyed.

The flames then crossed Surf avenue and caught in the other block, which they threatened with destruction. Several engines of the Brooklyn fire department arrived about this time, and soon afterward the fire was gotten under control. Over 50 buildings, many being small ones, were destroyed. The

total loss is about $100,000. The tcrritoiy covered by the fire was bounded by Sea Beach walk, Maiden lane, Culver's walk and Surf avenue. A large number of families have been rendered homeless. They took refuge in the Sea Beach palace.

This is tiie third big fire that has visited Coney Island at the beginning of the season. The first two fires caused about $100,000 damage each.

TREASURY AFFAIRS.

fti ius of tl'e llond Syndicate Increases the Gold Reserve.

NEW YORK, May 17.—The demand upon the members of the Belmont-Mor-gan syndicate for the payment of the balance of the gold due by them is explained thus: The members of the syndieate agreed to provide £2 in gold for I every dollar of bonds allotted to them.

Three-quarters of the gold called for had been paid in up to Monday last, I when a demand was made for the re.maining fourth, about sin.000,000. This gold is being put into the subtreasury I for counting and weighing, but will not become an asset of the government until the bond syndicate makes a demand for legal tenders, in exchange for which will likely be done after its exact value is determined by the subtreasury's count.

It is stated by a member of the syndicate that it has already imported about $18,000,000 in gold, leaving .$10,500,000 still to be obtained from abroad and until this gold is brought in the remaining half of the bonds due the syndicate under its contract will not be delivered by the govemmet. The syndicate can not be compelled to import gold at the rate of more than $8,500,000 monthly.

It is understood that the treasury department will deliver to the syndicate the bonds still due in London, and the belief is that Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Curtis, accompanied by other employes of that department, will leave for London next month to make the delivery of the bonds.

Gold Reserve Increased.

WASHINGTON, 31

ay 17.—The gold re-

serve yesterday amounted to N!)7,043, 114, I an increase since the day before of .$')14,293.

Tiie remainder was taken in at die several subtreasuries and assay offices. During the last few days there has been a heavy demand for small notes, $1, $2 and £5, which the officials are unable to account for. The available cash balance was $182,50l),ijll.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

HE WILL BE KING OF SIAM.

Slim l'oang Vadjira Vudh Is Made Crown I'rince.

The young crown prince of Siam has been formally invested with all the insignia of his office.

Ho is only 10 years old and is studying at Ascot, England, so as to learn to bo a king.

His name is almost as big as he is— Chowa Malia Vadjira Vudh. The ceremony was performed in the drawing room of the Siamese legation at South Kensington, because it was not thought advisable to recall him to Bangkok on the. death of the late Crown Princo Maha Vadjirunhis.

The young crown prince is the eldest son of King Chulalon Korn by his second wife.

Chulalon Korn's name is quite enough for several people. In full it is Phrabat Sorndet Phra Paramindr Maha Chulalon

Korn Phra Chula Chom Klao Phra Chow Yuhua. Besides he has chosen another name, more familiar—George Washington.

The young prince may also choose the name of some foreign great man if he outlives his father and is permitted to ascend the throne. I Eight special envoys from the king brought over tho swords. One of these I was the boy's uncle, Princo Svarti Sabhana, and to him the king gave the commands for every detail of the ceremony.

All the representatives of tho Siamese kingdom in Europe attended, all the men in gorgeous uniforms and the ladies in brilliant costumes. The crown prince wore the glittering uniform of a lieutenant of the royal bodyguard

The ceremony was very simple. Prince Svasti approached the crown prince, and having presented the proclamation invested him with the insignia of tho White Elephant. The commission and proclamation were read, and the investiture was completed with the high civil and military commissions which the rank of the prince compels him to hold.

Then followed congratulatory addresses in the Siamese language, the first being delivered by the Siamese minister in Paris.

The crown prince replied, and the ceremony was at an end. Among tho insignia presented were two magnificently jeweled swords, which have been in the possession of the crown princes of Siam for tho last 100 years. One is of tho rarest workmanship, set in rubies and emeralds on a background of pure gold.

The ceremony was too much for the littlo fellow, and after it was all over he was ill.

The Strength of a •Jumping Mouse.

In proportion to its size, I believe the jumping mouse is tho most active and powerful of all vertebrate animals. This tiny creature—no larger than a man's thumb—is from 21., to 3 inches in length, with a tail about twice as long as tho head and body. It is therefore 110 larger than a house mouse, but it has I light foro quarters, strong hind quarters, very long hind legs—and it can jump I from 8 to 10 feet. If a inouso weighing E two ounces (average) can jump 10 feet, how far should a 100 pound boy of I equal agilitj- be able to ump? Figure it jj out for yourself, and when you have ob- E tained the correct answer, you will properly appreciate the hind leys of this Wonderful littlo mite. W. T. Hornaday in St. Nicholas.

"'Ruth and the Ilorse.

Littlo Ruth was looking out of the window at tho bilker's horse. "Mamma, she said, "doesn't a horse use two of his legs for hands?" "Why, no," mamma answered. "A horse doosn't need hands as we do. "But, mamma," tho little girl persisted, "I don't see what he doos when his noso itches. "—Youth's Companion.

How Do You Measure?

I'm just as tall as my Brother Joe, For all he'll ll 3'ou it isn't so. Often and often ho has said He's taller than I by half a head. If yon count that way, perhaps he is, But—my feet «o down as far as his. Bo, wherever our heads may be, I say I'm exactly as tall the other way. —Sydney Dayre in Youth's Companion.

„Tho Now York Sun says tho youngest schoolteacher in New Jersey is Mollie Marropust, who assists Charles Dietz, principal of Public school, No. 8, in Mauror. She is 12 years old and is said be a successful instructor.
