Merciless Massacre By the Turks in Baiburt.
ONE HUNDRED-AND FIFTY KILLED
Five Hundred Mussulmans Attack an Armenian Tillage—The Inhabitants Shot Down As They Fled—The Women Subjected to Horrible Indignities—Officials
Do Nothing To Punish the Murderers. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 29.—Another
terrible massacre of Armenians, accompanied by the outraging of women, is reported to have occurred quite recently in the Baiburt district between Ei^eroum and Trebizond. According to the news received here, a mob of about 500 Mussulmans and Lazes, the greater majority of whom were armed with Mar-tini-Henry rifles, made an attack upon the Armenians inhabiting several villages of that vicinity and set fire to their houses and schools.
As the Armenians fled in terror from their dwellings they were shot down as they ran and a number of men and women who were captured by the riotors, it is added, were fastened to stakes and burned alive. The Armenian women who fell into the hands of the mob, it is also asserted, were outraged and brutally mutilated. It is also stated that the churches were desecrated and tlie villages pillaged, the cattle and all the portable property of any value belonging to the Armenians being carried off by the marauders.
During the disturbance 150 Armenians are reported to have been killed. The surviving villagers applied to the governor of Baiburt for protection, who, after hearing their complaint, sent three policemen to the scene of the massacre, after the slaughter was ended.
The Turkish officials, it is claimed, know the ringleaders of the outbreak, but apparently no steps have been taken to arrest them.
The number of Armenians massacred at Erzingjan now is said to be several hundred.
The Turks, it is stated, have also attacked the Armenians in the district G-umushdagh, near Trebizond, and have slaughtered many of them.

PEACE REIGNS.
It Is Believed Thmt There Will Be No Further Rioting at Tiffin. TIFFIN, O., Oct. 29.—The indications
now point to a speedy termination of the trouble caused by the riot Sunday morning. A conference of the civil and military authorities has iust been held and it has been decided to withdraw the militia tomorrow morning.
Further trouble has been anticipated after the funerals of the victims, Mutchler and Matz, but it is thought this can be prevented by having private funerals. The Rev. Father Puetz wired Bishop Hortsman, at Cleveland, asking for a dispensation to that end in the case of Mutchler and the request will doubtless be granted.

South of France Railroad Scandals Create a Crisis. PARIS, Oct. 29.—In the chamber of
deputies M. Rouanet, who has been prominent in exposing those who were connected with the Panama canal and Southern railroad syndicates, questioned the government regarding the South of France railrcad scandal, it being alleged that a number of senators, deputies and others, have made large profits out of the company by fair or unfair means. He declared that the good repute of parliament was involved and asked for explanations as to the partiality which iiad been shown toward those involve in the scandals, claiming that the authorities had been afraid to prosecute them because the deputies and senate!., involved with the late Baron Reinach, of Panama canal fame, had disposed of 8,850,000 francs in devious ways and on behalf of the Southern railways he demanded that the minister of justice, M. Trarieux, publish the documents in the case which were in his possession and which would thoroughly enlighten on the subject.
M. Binder, a member of the Right, then charged the minister of justice with culpable leniency, and demanded that the guilty parties be punished.
M. Trarieux denied that he had long had in his possession documents which desired the arrest of M. Edmond Magnier, formerly senator of the Var and recently editor-in-chief of The Fevenement, wrho was recently sentenced to a term of imprisonment for having received part of the profits of the syndicate. Continuing, the minister of justice said, that whenever the government believed it had incriminating evidence it had prosecuted the parties involved. Continuing, he said: "The chamber knows the truth and if parliament considers its dignity and honor compromised, the government will join the chamber in voting for representative measures, and in the face of these explanations asks the chamber for a vote of confidence."
The order of the day, pure and simple, was then submitted to the chamber and rejectev by a vote of 406 to 105.
M. Habe-ts then moved that the chamber apree to prohibit members of parliament from joining in financial syndicates. Tho motion was accepted by the premier, M. Ribot, and was adopted unanimously.
Later, M. Rouanet submitted a motion demanding that full light be thrown upon the S' ith of France railroad scandals, asking the government to pro cute all those who have been found be implica ^d in them, and submit the chamber the report of the expert who inquired into the finances of the company,
M. Ribot thereupon said it was useless to submit the expert's report, and as to the prosecutions, he added, the work of justice had been accomplished and could n^t be reopened.
M. Rouanet's motion asking for an explanation as to the partiality which had been sho\vn toward those involved yi the scandals, claiming that the authorities had been afraid to prosecute them, and demanding that the minister of justic publish the documents in the case which were in his possession, was then adopted by a vote of 275 to 196.
After the adoption of this motion, the ministers left the chamber of deputies in a body, amid ironical radi al cheers, and went to the Elyssee palace, where they handed in their resignations to President Faure.
The chamber of deputies was adjourned for a week.
