IXCLK SAM TIIHKATCXS. Will Send an Ironclad to Syria if Americans! Arc JVot Itelened, PARIS, Feb. 10. A Constantinople dispatch to Le Temps says: "Alexander W. Terrell, 1'nited States minister, has demanded the immediate liberation of two Armenians who are American citizens and are prisoners In Iskanderum, northern Syria. He has threatened, In the event of a. refusal, to send an iroclad to Iskanderum. "Serious riots have occurred in the Angaria districts, and two hundred cavalry have started from Constantinople for Yussraz. The populace of Amasia, on the Yes-hil-Irmak, broke into the jail recently, and freed several Armenian prisoners. Seditious placards have boon posted in both cities, and the authorities have arrested many persons, including seventeen Mussulmans who plotted to massacre Christians. "Way of Armenian. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. The reported action of Minister Terrell in demanding the release of two Armenians imprisoned by the Turkish government does not surprise the State Department. As it is expressed there: "The Armenian question we have always with us." They have, however, bo information of any threat by Terrell to send for an ironclad. The Armenians in the United States recently have been conducting an organized agitation for the protection of naturalized Armenians from the exactions of the Turkish government. There are a large number of these cases before the State Department, and there Is more than a suspicion In some of them that there Is an abuse of the privileges of American citizenship. The indications are that eome of these men are now over here simply to secure citizenship and then, go back to live in Turkey with the purpose of securing protection from the United States government. This is accorded them on being demanded. The Turkish government does not recognize the expatriation of its subjects, but keeps those who claim American citizenship in prison until they can be deported. TI1K TIMUL'CTOO 3IASSACRF.. Premier Cakt-tnitr-IVrler Say France Hub Ileen TaiiKht u Lesson. PARIS, Feb. 10. The Dix Neuvieme Seelo aaya the Cabinet will probably send reinforcements from Senegal to TImbuetoo, where Captain I'hillippe, with a smill French force, in holding the city against the Tuaregs. The paper adds that it Is likely that the Fouth Soudanese battalion will be sent to the aid of the French troops and that Colonel Archlnettrd, commander of the French Soudan, will be in command of the reinforcements. In the Chamber of Deputies, to-day. M. Casslmjr-Perier, the Premier, made a long .statement in regard to the disaster to the column commanded by Colonel Bonnier near Timbuctoo. The Premier said the government had nothing to conceal, and that it did not desire to minimize the gravity of the situation, but this was not the moment, he added, to Inquire whether there had been any act of excessive courage or imprudence. On learning that Timbuctoo had been occupied by the French troops, the government telegraphed to Colonel Bonnier to return to France as eoon as the circumstance permitted. In the meanwhile it counseled Colonel Bonnier not to undertake any fresh act of aggression, and suggested that all possible prudential measures be taken. The Premier remarked Uiat after having read the official dispatch from the Govern. t of the Soudan he did not know wheth?r the French officers weie dead or whether they were only missing. But instructions had been sent to the Governor of the Soudan and to other Governors. with the result that reinforcements were on their way rrom Algeria and from other places, and It was expected that the French forces at Timbuctoo would soon be relieved. There could be no question of evactuatlng Timbuctoo. (Cheers. The incident, he added, conveyed a lesson to France, nnd she would not forget that necessary measures should be taken to prevent Its recurrence. "We are convinced," the Premier finally remarked, "that the ChamU-r. does not desire to discuss the merits of the case at the present moment." (Cheers.) The. Interpolators agreed to postjtone any further discussion of the Timbuctoo duration, and the Chamber of Deputies adjourned. Swept ly n Cyelnne. PARIS, Feb. 10.

WASHINGTON, Feb. lO.-The Navy Department Is In correspondence with the New York agents of the City of Para, which has gone after the ship's company of the Kearsarge. The department believes that relief reached the shipwrecked company to-day and that they will be back In Colon to-morrow The possible danger to the men on Roncador bank has been greater than it was thought wise to admit. The fact of the ship's fresh water supply having been lost waa also a serious phase of the situation. There is a well on Roncador bank, but the water is very brackish. It is supposed that the cruiser Marblehead will succeed the Keaxsarge as nagship of the North Atlantic squadron, while the presence of the New York Is demanded In Southern waters. A court of Inquiry into the loss of the Kearsarge will be a natural outcome of the disaster. It Is not yet known what officer was in charge of the deck at the time of the wreck. The Nipsic, undergoing repairs at Mare Island navy-yard, is to have her batteries changed for her service In the Bering1 sea patrol. Her present armament consists of one eleven-Inch smooth bore gun. one three-Inch breech-loading rifle and one twelve-pound howitzer. When she Is next, ready for sea, her battery will consist of two nine-Inch gun" of the smooth bore pattern, one sixty-pound breech-loading rifle, two six-pounders, two Gatllng guns and three 37 centimeter weapons.

Minister Willis Not Alone in Refusing: to Attend the Independence Day Celebration Last 31outh.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10. The steamer Australia arrived this evening from Honolulu. The correspondent of the Associated rres, writing under date of the 3d Inst., says: "There are indications that serious dissensions may occur between the American league and the Annexationist Club rival factions of the American party. The American league has adopted resolutions affirming: allegiance to the provisional government, to the end that the Islands may be annexed to the Fnited States. The resolution suggests if annexation is hopeless that a protectorate would be acceptable. "In reply to President Dole's demand for an apology from foreign diplomates. the Japanese consul, Mr. Fuji, expressed his re grets for not attending the provisional gov ernment's celebration Jan. 17. The French and Portuguese commissioners also salt regrets, basing their action on the anoma lous condition of affairs here, untisn -Min ister Wooi'houe simply expressed regret for not accepting the invitation. "A DroDosItlon to import more Chinese la borers has bern defeated. This action Is due to the fact that the Japanese govern ment demanded that importation of Chinesa should be controlled by the Japanese government. "O. L. Carter, one of the provisional government's commissioners to this country shortly after the revolution, has written an open letter in reply to an article In the North American Review by F. It. Coudert, of New York. Among other thiners Mr. Carter says: 'What would you do If your Piesident. as commander in chief, gathered your army and police atout him in the city of New York, after exhausting: every possible method' of violating your Constitution In Congress, and declared his Intention of promulgating a new one? If. from his attitude and expressions and the existence of a great popular alarm and excitement, a few of your leading citizens gathered together to organize a defense and appealed to your country for assistance in maintaining the integrity of your institutions would vou not yourself rally to such call? Would you blame the Russian minister for landing men from one of his ships in the harbor to protect Russian interests, particularly if Wall street, Broadway and Fifth avenue belonged to Russian residents? Would you blame the Russian minister If he saw through the excitement that your President wats in . the wrong, would be defeated In the end and unhesitatingly expressed such an opinion? Would you not yourself be among the ranks df loyal citizens crowding to support your committee of public safety? Would you not denounce any person who, after your success, charred that the presence of Russian forces had anything to do with the result? "Paul Neuman, the. ex-Queen's legal adviser, a few days ago attacked and beat II. N. Castle, editor of the Advertiser, with a cane. The attack was caused by the Advertlser' caustic comments on Neuman and his methods. "The steamer C. R. Bishop has tone ashore on the island of Kauai, and will probably be a total loss." Thinks Cleveland "Was Deceived. NEW HAVEN. Conn., Feb. 10. Prof. W. D. Alexander, Surgeon-general of the Hawaiian Islands, and also special commissioner, who is visiting his son at Yale College, In an interview said: "I regard President Cleveland's course as most extraordinary, but I, like other Democrats at the Islands, believe that the President has been deceived from the very start. Colonel Blount's investigation was, to my mind, like that of a detective working up a case for a client, and ho certainly obtained only an ex parte result. As for Minister Stevens, the worst that can be said! about him Is that he was doubtless hasty in what he did. It will, however, be brought out that the British minister would have recognized the provisional government on the afternoon following the action of Minister Stevens had not he (the British minister) learned of the annexation scheme that was on foot. The provisional government is established and it will remain." PURSE OF $60,000.... Michigan Sport Would Like to Have (he Corbet (-.Tackixoii I-'JkIii.

EarJv this morning the convivial party started on a tour of the saloons in the vicinity. Harry Corbett's place was finally reached, and more drinks and an animated discission as to the relative pugilistic abilities of Mitchell and McAuliffe were Indulped in. It was on the sidewalk Just outside that the latter, together with his two friends, made an attack on Mitchell, getting him down and kickintr and pounding him into insensilility.

There was much excitement at 11 o'clock last night at the "Tuxedo" saloon on North Pennsylvania street, near the Grand Opera House. Th3 owner? of the faloon are Murray fc Fleming. Friday night patrolmen Curran and Holtz went Into the saloon at 11 o'clock apparently to see that the closing law was obeyed. The owners of the place promptly closed, but seemed much offended that the officers should visit their place with such intentions, and they told the officers that if they came around at the same time on Saturday night and with the same Intentions they would be ejected. m Patrolman Curran promptly replied that he would be on hand, as it was his duty to see that all saloons were close! at exactly 11 o'clock, and he would make no exceptions in their case. At 11 o'clock last night the two patrolmen appeared at the saloon and were promptly ordered from the place. Of course, they did not go. and Fleming under took to push patrolman Curran out. Curran grabbed Fleming and told him that he was under arrest. This greatly enraged Fleming and he struck the officer with much force. Curran then nulled out his mace ana ordered the man to desist, but at this point several of Fleming's friends jumped at Curran and struck him. One of the men grabbed the mace from officer Holtz and hit curran a vicious diow on ine neau, but the thickness of the policeman's hat saved him from serious injury. The fight from this point on was rough and tumble. The two officers fought gallantly with their opponents, five in number, but the combat was uneven In numbers, and finally Holtz was pushed through the door, after receiving: a terrible blow on the head with a bottle. As soon as Holtz was outside he Immediately called up police head quarters and help soon arrived, but all was serene and quiet by this time. Curran had remained inside, but the men offered no resistance after the door was shut. When Fleming, who was the only one of the party arrested, was taken to the patrol wagon ne caught sight or Jean Harris, superintendent Powell's private secretary. and attempted to start another fight, but the presence of olllcers thwarted this movement. At the police station he gave his name as Cal Allen. He was released on bond. TO-DAY'S FORECAST. Fnir "Weather, Probably Followed by Rnln or Snow in Sonlhcrn Indlmin. WASHINGTON.

COMMERCIAL CLUH ELECTION. It Will Occur To-forrow Under Australian System Election Oificcrs. The election of eight directors of the Commercial Club for the next two years will occur in the club rooms to-morrow between the hours of 10 a. m. and 6 l). m. "This election will be conducted under the Australian system. There are two tickets, known as the "regular" and the "ii;ileiienlcnt." The nominees on the regular tkket are Col. Eli Lilly. Chapin C. Foster, Albert Lieber, Charles K. Coffin, Nathan Morris, W. B. Burford. Dr. W. X. Wishard and James It. Carnahan. The independent ticket! Is composed of W. II. Armstrong, John J. Cooper, J. S. Lizarus, John W. Holtzman, N. F. Dalton, A. P. Hendrickson, James It. Carnahan and Albert Krull. Ths Independent ticket represents the opposition to the present administration of the club. The indications are that a hirge vote will be polled. The friend? of Colonel Lilly claim that he and the entire regular ticket will be elected. "It is the expressed feeling of many of the leading business men," remarked one of Cclor.el Lilly's friends yesterday, "that it will be extremeb unfortunate If the regular ticket should not be elected. No man in the city has given fo much time and money to public spirited work in Indianapolis, and if Colonel Lilly should not te elected at this time It Is bclievnl that it would be the worst possible discouragement to citizens of hls;h standing undertaking public work. His friends declare that ho has been unjustly and unfairly assaill. and that tho hostility to him is malicious, which, it is believed, the club members v.ill resent by their votes." The appointment of the election officers was announced yesterday as follows: Judge, F. Y. Hamilton; Inspector, Col. William M. Cochran; clerk3. Louis A. Share nnd Louis 11. Levey. Attention is directed by the club officers to the requirement of the by-laws. of the club, providing that "any member who shall bp in default in the payment of his annual dues or installments of Rtock shall not be entitled to vote at any election." The annual ineetin-.' of the dub will be held to-morrow night in the assf mbly room, when the reports of the ollieers for the la.t fiscal year will be submitted and the result of the elec tion announced. It has leen reported that the supporters of the regular ticket will attempt to vote proxies. Considerable feeling his bvn stirred up on this account, the rartians of the independent ticket claiming that such a method would be Illegal. The votes are not cast by shares of stock, but each member is entitled to b'lt one vote. r-gaadlss of the number of shares of stock held. The independents; claim that the rlt;ht to ote is personal and cannot be dclefiated. Tlie County "Vnuln 3Iore Rent. A committee from the unemployed was in conference v.ith the County Commissioners yesterday. The question of cutting down the courthouse yard was d3cussed, and the commissioners xild that if the city will increase the rents it pays in the basement of the building the matter may receive more favorable consideration.
