Extent of theJRecent Outrages in Armenia.
FURTHER DISTURBANCE FEARED.
The Armenians Have Been Deprived of Their Weapons and the Latter Given to Mussulmans—Large Quantities of Anns
Distributed to the Turks—An Investigation lie in gp Made. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 18.—Some of
the Armenians who reopened their stores, thus disobeying the orders of the Armenian committee, have been lined, and three merchants, it is asserted, have been compelled by threats to pay this committee between 300 and 400 Turkish pounds each. The matter was brought to the attention of the Turkish authorities, and as a result several members of the Armenian committee who took part in forcing the Armenians to close their stores have been arrested.
According to the latest information received here from Trebizond, Armenia, 400 persons were killed during the recent rioting there. The grand vizier, Kiamil Pasha, has issued an order holding the governor of Trebizond responsible for all loss of life hereafter through political or religious disturbances.
An eyewitness of the Trebizond masBacre says that the Armeniai^^auarter there was completely sacked, iJud the mob only desisted when there was nothing left to pillage or to kill. The soldiers assisted in the massacre with their rifles. The better class of Turks gave
Erotection
and shelter in their own
ouses to Armenian women and chil dren, so that none of these were killed in the town itself. These Turks obtained permission for theArmenian refugees to shelter themselves in the barracks during the following night, when it was feared the massacre would be renewed. Several Armenian villages outside of Trebizond were burned and pillaged and lives there were also taken.
Reports received here from various districts of Anatolia say that the Armenians have been deprived of their Weapons, and that the latter have been {riven to Mussulmans. In addition, in the district of Kharput, quantities of arms have been distributed to the Turks. When the vali of Kharput was questioned on the subject he said that if the Armenians remained quiet no harm would come to them.
SHADOWED.
A Strange Woman Dogging tlio footsteps of Mrs. Durant. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18.—The condi
tion of Attorney Eugene Deuprey, counsel for Durant, is still more improved, although it can not be said he is making rapid progress toward recovery. General Dickinson has decided to proceed with the trial Monday without the aid of Mr. Deuprey, if he remains indisposed at that time.
Durant was considerably worked up when a report reached him that confidence workers had been attempting to mulct the residents of the West End by soliciting cash subscriptions to assist in defraying the expenses of his trial. "It seems as though every one was conspiring to injure myself or my family, and if it is not in one way it's another. If we hadn't a cent in the world we wouldn't go begging to the public."
Mrs. Durant is also being annoyed from another quarter. For several days past a woman has followed her whereever she has gone, keeping up a most persistent shadowing. Mrs. Durant has not been able to learn who the woman is or for what she is being followed. She has several times tried to turn and meet the woman, but each time her shadower has cleverly disappeared. Mrs. Durant is considerably alarmed, as she is at a loss to know the object of the woman's strange actions.
TWO SHIPS LONG OVERDUE.
Probability That the Lord Spencer and Achillea Are Lost. SAN FRANCKSCO, Oct. 18.—It is just 190 days the British ship Lord Spencer
left this port for Queenstown, and not a word has been heard from her. That the English underwriters have fears for her safety is evidenced by the fact that reinsurance has gone steadily up from 10 per cent to
70 per cent.
Much concern is also expressed for the British bark Achilles, bound from the west coast of South America for Hamburg. This is the vessel which picked up Captain McClune and his wife and crew of the wrecked American ship Arabia in midocean. The castaways were landed at Montevideo and the Achilles set sail from that port on July 1, and lias not since been heard from.
Man and Woman Lynched,
FRANKFORT, Ky., Oct. 18.—Reports have reached here of the hanging of James Willis and Susie Bottoms, colored, with whom he was living, near Gratz, Ky. Several parties who came up the river say the bodies are still hanging where the mob left them. Willis and the colored woman were ordered out of the city by the police judge about a month ago and they took a shantyboat and went down the river.
Statue of JSenjainin Franklin. CHICAGO, Oct. 18.—Joseph Medill,
proprietor of the Chicago Tribune, has asked the Lincoln park commissioners for a site in the park for a bronze statue of Benjamin Franklin. The statue, which will be presorted to the park by Mr. Medill, and which will cost from $30,000 to $50,000, is intended to perpetuate the memory of Franklin as the father of American printing and journalism.

THE QUEEN'S BODY BURNED.
Farthea Details of the iUcent Uprising In
s:
Core*.
NJEW YORK, Oct. 18.—A special to The Herald from Seoul, Corea, says: The crown prince, who was with the queen when she was murdered, has secretly sent from the palace a statement giving a description of the assassins, by which they are identified as Japanese. The Japanese government gives ample assurances that every guilty person will be punished. The plot originated with disgraced Corean officials, who employed Japanese soshi and corrupted the Japanese troops. The colonel of the palace body guards, who saw the Japa-
nese assassins enter the queen's anart- fate
With awrrHa savs he afterwaifi I
says ne aiterwara
meat with swerds, saw theru burning the body. Proofs are said to exist connecting the Japanese minister with the plot.
Procurator Kamura and a commission have arrived from Japan to investigate the outbreak. There have been more arrests of Japanese sosiii. Japanese have been forbidden to come to Corea without the consent of the Japanese authorities. The usurper, Tai Won Kun, issues a proclamation saying he is in the palace to secure peace. The cabinet is not recognized and is fulling to pieces. Six official refugees are in the United States legation. The flagship Baltimore is coming to Chemulpo and a Russian fleet is expected.
The Bear Complacent.
NEW YORK, Oct. J8.—A special to The Herald from St. Petersburg says: Russia at present is inclined to allow Japan a free hand in Corea in connection with, the present outbreaks. As a sign of pacific intentions, the governor of the Amoor, General Doukhovsky, has been granted leave to come to St. Petersburg.
JAIL DELIVERY.
Seven Men Secure Their Liberty in a Very £a»y Manner. ZANESVILLE, O., Oct. IS.—Prisoners
escaped from the jail at Coshocton as follows: William Schaffer, wife-beat-ing Fred Briglitman and George Van Sickle, highway robbery Joseph Milligan, assault with intent to kill George Ringwalt, larceny Charles Perkics ani Edward Ferguson, house-breaking.
The prisoners secured admission to the female department of the jail by breaking open a door. With an iron poker they dug a hole through the brick ceiling and ascended to the roof. Some csuqpentersy who had been repairing the jail, whicli was damaged by fire some weeks ago, had left ladders leaning against the wallq, enabling the prisoners to escape with ease.
The commissioners have offered a reward of $60 each for their capture. *4

AN ACTIVE VOLCANO.
Professor Alexander Saw Through Marine Glasses. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., OSfcl 18*.—
An active volcano is supposed to be in a state of eruption in the Olympic mountains, south of this city. Crossing the straits from Victoria, Professor Alexander of the' Smithsonian institute observed the phenomena through marine glasses, and is positive that the smoke and steam he saw came from a volcano.
He lias just arrived from the Aleutian islands, where there are four or five volcanoes in eruption, and he says the smoke ascending from the Olympic mountains is precisely in the same manner as that from the Alaskan mountains.
Disasters on the Lake.
SANDUSKY, O., Oct. 18.—Wednesday during the severe storm the large steamer John Oades, with 2,000 tons of coal, struck on the Starve island reef, tearing a hole in the bottom. The captain of the steamer attempted to run the sinking vessel to Kelly's island, and succeeded in that he got her in 25 feet of water, when she went down. During Tuesday night and Wednesday morning six vessels went ashore, two 6mall schooners still being on and in dangerous positions.
Killed in a Wreck.
BERHA, Ky., Oct. 18.—Early yesterday morning as a Louisville and Nashville construction train was backing up to Gap Tunnel, three miles south of here, the engine and several flatcars were derailed and badly wrecked. Bud Thomas, a colored laborer from Mount Sterling, Ky., was instantly killed. William Burns, also colored, was seriously injured. Several others were slightly bruised.
Five Boys at One Birth.
TOLEDO, Oct. 18.—Information from a reliable source has reached this city to the-effect that Mrs. John Langdon, residing six miles northeast ef Delta, in Fulton county, has giveu birth to five children, all boys and all doing nicely. People are driving there from all over the country, but thus far only a few have been able to see the little ones, owing to the objections of the mother.
Massillou Miners Recede.
MASSILLON,
o.,
Oct. 18.—District
President Mossop of the coal miuers called on Mayor Scott yesterday and asked him to hold off the state board of arbitration on the ground that the striking miners would probably accept the results of the Columbus joint meeting, and go to work next Monday. Tbis indicates a direct reversal of the miuers' recent independent attitude.
Seventieth O. V. I.
WINCHESTER, O., Oct. 18.—The surviving members of the Seventieth O. V. I. are holding their two days' annual reunion at Decatur, 10 miles below here.

EX-CONSUL WALLER'S CASE.
The United States Will I*r«b:ibly Deiuund the Keleas« cn tits* Prisoner* WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—It has been
understood ail along that the fate of exConsul Waller, who is still held in imprisonment by the French at Marseilles, hinged at the proceedings of the courtmartial which seuLeneed him, and
d^fVieut
has
rected elfortS t0
a CO
di"
securing a
py the record ot the court. Now
that the record is in Paris a careful ex animation of the documents is being made, and already there have been developed some points that in the end may form the basis of a demand for the release of the prisoner.
In at least two points it has been found that tiie proceedings of the court martial were in violation of the French law, and if such a case arose in the United States this would be sufficient ground for the setting aside of the proceedings and the sentence and the release of Waller. In the first place the court was composed of live officers, whereas the French military regulations are said to require at least seven persons to sit on the court. But more important than this, it has been discovered that Waller was noc really tried as charged, but that as the trial progressed evidence was taken on another charge not included in the original matter and that it was upon what might be called a supplementary, but irregular charge that Waller was convicted. Aside from the other points in the case, this matter of irregularity of the proceedings may in the end go far to make up the case of our government as presented through Ambassador Eustis.
TWO AMERICANS KILLED.
of Doing
A Mexican Guide Suspected Foul Crime. HERMOSILLO, Mex.. Oct. 18.—George
T. Harrison and J. F. Baker, two mining men from Colorado, arrived here about 10 days ago and left on the following day lor the Yaqui Indian country, where they had been told were to be found rich gold mines. A Mexican guide accompanied them.
The guide returned here yesterday and reports that they met a party of Yaqui Indian braves 100 miles southeast of here and that the Indians fired upon the Americans, killing both men. The guide claims that he was kept a prisoner for two days and was then released, after first being admonished to nevey revisit the country again. The guide is being held here until his story can be investigated. He is suspected of having murdered and robbed the Americans. "v
Biggest Sisal Cargo.
BOSTON, Oct. 18.—The largest cargo of Mexican hemp, or Sisal grass ever brought to this port has arrived on the British steamship Vamerira from Progresso, Mex. The Vameira is a'new steamer, having been completed on the Clyde only last month. She sailed from Glasgow .direct for Progresso, where she was loaded for her present trip. The new ship is built of steel, ancl registered 1,745 tons net, and 2,710 tons gross. She is 300 feet in length, 42 feet breadth of beam, and 19 feet depth of hold. The Vameira has been chartered by the Munson Steamship company of New York, and will make several trips to this Dort.
A Slump in Iron.
NEW YOKK, Oct. 18.—The Iron Age says: All the leading markets reflect the same general condition, a dreary dullness in business when contrasted with the rushing trade of past months. Bessemer pig is dull in the valleys at nominally $14.35 to $14.50, while billets have got down to $*20.75 to $21, Wheeling. There has been a sagging off in the principal lines of finished material, with very few contracts placed that are worthy of notice. Relatively, foundry iron is holding its own remarkably well. It is weaker, no doubt, but keeps pretty close to the maximum figures reached during the rise.
Gas Well in Kentucky.
LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 18.—Considerable excitement has been created over the discovery of a gas well in this county, five miles from Lexington, on the fal'm of the famous turfman, Major B. G. Thomas, who was boring for water. He struck gas 60 feet from the surface. A pipe was attached to the mouth of the well and aflame of several feet lit •ap the country for a long distance around. Major Thomas formerly owned the celebrated stock farm "Dixiana," and is one of the most famous turfmen in America.
Conflict hyria.
BEYROUT, Syria, Oct. 18.—Considerable excitement prevails in the Lebanon district owing to conflicts which have taken place between the Druses and Mutualis, in which men have been killed on both sides.

The latter thereupon appealed to their co-religionists in Hauran who are preparing to send S,000 men to the assistance of tho Druses. The Vali of Damascus is trying to prevent a conflict
A Mountain Malady.
SKRGENT, Ky., Oct. 18.—Reports have gust been received here from northern Leslie county, near the Letcher line, that a terrible epidemic of a disease similar t® flux has been raging there for the past two weeks. Twenty deaths have occurred ana U00 critical cases are reported. The best medical aid in the mountains has been summoned, but all to no avail, as they can not check or help the disease.
