The Gunboat Dryad Ordered Back to Salonica.
POWERS ARE NOT IN CONCERT.
Alleged Danger to Foreigners From Fanatical Turks Is Given as the Cause of Great Britain's Inaction—American Missions Said to Be Safe on the Southern
Slopes of Mount Taurus. CONSTANTINOPLE, via Sofia, Bulgaria,
Dec. 2.—It has not yet been conclusively developed here what is to be the effect on the disordered state of the empire of the relinquishment temporarily at least, of the purpose of the powers to introduce additional guardships into the Dardanelles for the protection of foreigners in the domains of the sultan. The ordering back toSalonicabav of the British gunboat Dryad, which had been Drdered up to the Dardanelles at the request of the British ambassador, Sir Philip Currie, in anticipation of the promised granting of the firmans by the sultan for warships to pass through, is officially explained on the ground that the proposed action would do more harm than good by inflaming the fanaticism of the Turks against foreigners on account of the supposed affront to the sultan of what would, in effect, have amounted to a naval demonstration against Constantinojjle.
The effect of the abandonment of its purpose by Great Britain oil the situation in Turkey is awaited with anxiety and great interest. The question of guardships seems at a standstill for the present, though the threat of Sir Philip Currie to renew his purpose unless foreigners should be exempt from outrage is still open.
Undoubtedly one effect of the ordering back of the Dryad to Salonica is that the belief in the often-alleged concert of the powers in their attitude toward Turkey is waning. The sultan is known to have been skeptical as to this concert for some time past and it is said has based his long-continued opposition to Great Britain's demands upon a belief that no such concert existed or that it could not endure for any length of time. This belief can not but have been in part confirmed by Grout Britain's withdrawal of her demand after it had been so strenuously pressed to the very verge of a crisis.
Whether Great Britain is influenced by the alleged danger to foreigners from fanatic Turks which would ensue upon the proposed demonstration, or whether she has learned to doubt the approval of her action which might be accorded by the other powers, is therefore a question which is discussed on both sides.
United States Minister A. W. Terrell Las received from Aintab, oil the southern slopes of Mount Taurus, a dispatch which states that the American missionaries there are safe and were unharmed in the recent massacre and have not required the services of special guards.
Reports of a fanatical outbreak in Csesarea have created anxiety as to the safely of the American mission there and Minister Terrell has wired an inquiry, to which an answer is still awaited. The nonarrival of private letters from Kliarpoot and Sivas also lias a disquieting effect.
Official dispatches describe a small conflict in Ziilica, in the villayet of Sivas, in which four Mussulmans and five Armenians were killed, and another at Enderhin, where Armenian rebels attacked the town, burned the government buildings and pillaged the Mussulmans' villages in the vicinity of Pias. Troops have been sent to repress the outbreak.
A letter from Aden, Arabia, dated Nov. 20, gives details of the Arabian revolt against the sultan in Yemen, the coffee growing district of southwestern Arabia. The importance of the outbreak lies in its proximity to Mecca. The loss to the sultan of the Mussulman holy city would probably mean his deposition. Hence the strenuous official denials which have been made of the existence of the rebellion.
So far, the revolt has been confined to the district around Kharmar, two days' journey from Saana, the capital of Yemen. The rebels number 45,000 Arabs armed with Martini and Snyder rifles and led by Sayyid, a pretender to the iniaunsliip of the whole Yemen country, I who wields a great influence and sorreptitiously collects tribute or taxes from all Arab tribes under Turkish rule.
Six thousand Turkish tioops recently arrived at Saana from Constantinople and were distributed among the garrisons in the Kharmar district.
The rebels had already captured, after severe fighting and great bloodshed, two Turkish forts at Khamar and Baldbuda. In the latter 800 Tui-ks were killed. The garrison fled to Masmer and begged the 25 Sheikhs there to help to recapture Baldbuda. The Sheikhs refused and were taken to Saana and imprisoned.
The telegraph is constantly cut and Sayyid, the pretender, burns letters and presents which the sultan sends.
CISTERNS CRACKED.
A Peculiar Effect of the l'3artliquake Noticed in Adams County, O. PEEBLES, O., Dec. 2.—Since the good
rains have fallen and the long and severe drouth lias been broken, a startling revelation has been made. Not only in this place, but other places throughout the county a large number of cisterns do not hold water, and many people are placed in the same condition as before the rains. Investigations have been made, and it is generally supDOsed that the cracking open of the walls ana nouns of cisterns is due to the recent earthquake shock which was so plainly felt. Wells and springs have not been affected in any way.

I visited the Atlanta exposition late in September last, and while I should be glad to go again I can not d® so in this time."
HOLMES' FATE.
The Multi-Murderer Refused a New Trial and Must Hang. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2.—The multi-
murderer, H. H. Holmes, must hang unless the supreme court grants an appeal. In the court of Oyer and terminer Saturday, Judge Arnold refused to grant the prisoner, who was convicted on Nov. 2, of the murder, in this city, on Sept. 2, 1894, of B. F. Pietzel, a new trial, and sentenced the murderer to death. Holmes, when he came into court, looked careworn, and seemed to have lost that air of confidence which has clung to him throughout his ordeal. Court opened with a brief tilt between Judge Arnold and Lawyer Rotan, counsel for the defendant. Judge Arnold charged that Mr. Rotan had offered an insult to the court by sending briefs to Presiding Judge Thayer and Judge Willson, who had sat with Judge Arnold when Holmes' counsel had argued for a new trial, but had neglected to send him a copy.
Mr. Rotan disclaimed any intention of insulting Judge Arnold, and pleaded haste as an excuse for having neglected to send him a brief.
Judge Arnold then proceeded to read the court's answer to Holmes' counsel's reasons for anew trial. He took up the 15 exceptions to the verdict, one at a time, and dwelt at length upon each. The main reasons for anew trial, which were put forth by the defendant's counsel, were the admission of the testimony of Miss Yoke, whom Holmes claimed as his lawful wife: the district attorney's opening speech to the jury, when he brought the murder of the children into the case, and part of Mrs. Pietzel's testimony, in which she said the last time she saw her children "was in the morgue at Toronto."
In reference to Miss Yoke's eligibility as a witness, the judge said that it was the opinion of the court that Holmes was not only married to the Williamette (Ills.) woman when he wedded Miss Yoke, but that he also had a wife in Gilman, N. H. Therefore, the marriage to Miss Yoke was'null and void, and the evidence was admissible.
The opening speech of the district attorney, he said, was not, open to objection. It was the evident intention of Holmes, said Judge Arnold, to take off the entire Pietzel family in order to secure property belongingto the murdered man.
As to the statement of Mrs. Pietzel, the judge had instructed the jury not to be influenced by (he woman's statement he closed by saying that the court approves the verdict and refuses a new trial.
District Attorney Graham then arose and asked that sentence be pronounced. Holmes was ordered to stand up. Judge Arnold said: "Herman W. Mudgetts, have you anything to say?"
Holmes replied in a barely audible voice: "I have nothing to say." Judge Arnold then pronounced the death sentence in the usual form, after which Holmes was taken from the court to prison. Governor Hastings will fix the day of Holmes'execution. An appeal to the supreme court will be taken at once.
PARDON MILL BUSY.
More Murderers in KentiT-ky Tunic
lioose by Governor Brown.
FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec. 2.—Pardons were granted Sanr-.1 fr Thomas Baker of Powell cor..r.y F^mphrey Crittendon of Scott county. Both were serving life sentences. Governor Brown also pardoned Charles Hogg of Clay county before trial, under indictment for malicious shooting. He rejected an application for pardon for Frank Sjohn, who murdered Carrie Van Hook, a negro girl, in Harrison county a few years ago. Sjohn is a fugitive from justice and has never been tried.
Thought to Be the Horsa.
CAPE MAY, N. J., Dec. 2.—A steamer which is alleged to be the Danish fruit steamer Horsa that sailed from Philadelphia Saturday night for port Antonio, and the officers of which are under bail for alleged violation of the neutrality laws in aiding the Cubans, appeared Sunday morning and took oil seven passengers who came from Philadelphia. The steamer reached here before daylight and was away with her passengers' before 7 o'clock. No one seems to know the nationality of the men taken aboard. One was landed who is alleged to be a Delaware river pilot, but who has not been seen since early this morning. He was a native of Cape May and could easily escape the eyes of the suspicious.
Shot His Sister.
NEWARK, O., Dec. 2.—Bert Howarth, aged 19 years, son of Thomas Howarth, a Baltimore and Ohio engineer, accidentally shot his sister Jessie, aged 10 years. The father had just started on passenger train No. 104 to Be 11 lire. The boy had taken the gun to shoot a pigeon. 'Returning into the house, he attempted to let the hammer down and it slipped. The child was only a few feet away, and the charge struck her in the head and carried her lower jaw entirely away. She can not possibly live. The father was advised by wire and turned his engine over to another man, returning during the night.

During This Winter.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The leading drug firms of this city are apprehensive that the coming winter and spring will see a corner in camphor. The price of this article has been steadily increasing, until from 37 cents a pound only a few months ago, it has advanced to 00 cents a pound, with every prospect of going still higher. The importance of such an advance can be imagined when it is realized that in .1894 no less than 1,323,932 pounds of camphor were imported to this country. I

"I am satisfied that he was up"to a short time ago practically the head of the syndicate," said he, "but he has entirely withdrawn from it. There is no doubt but that a sydicate does control the supply of j. camphor. In fact, so fully convinced are we of this that we have laid in an unusual stock, so as to be prepared for a corner."

How to Make Starch That Will Not Stick.
Moisten tho desired quantity of starch in a bowl, adding sufficient water to make it liquid then pour over the boiling water until you have a clear starch. This must not be too thick or it will invariably stick to the irons. See that all articles are starched on the wrong side and the starch well rubbed in. Just how one can make lumpy starch it is hard to tell. If after the last boiling water has been added it becomes jelly like when cold, add each time to thin it boiling water and not .cold.
