American Board of Foriegn Missions, and Mr. Ilenrv Hyde, of Boston, had a conference with Secretary oiney, to-day, concerning- the situation of American missionaries In Turkish territory. They placed the Secretary In possession of all the Information they had bearing on the matter and. it Is understood, were assured that it is the purpose of the administration to afford all possible protection to the missionaries consistent with the general policy of this government In such mattera The Secretary told them that Minister Terrell had been instructed to make the strongest possible representations to the Porte as to the necessity of affording protection to Americans generally, and said that he vras satisfied that such representations had not only been made, but that the Turkish authorities had virtually promised to do all that had been asked. Consequently, the proper protection of our citizens rn Turkey resolved Itself Into a question of good faith and of ability on the part of the Porte to make Its promises good. It was agreed, that with the various European powers concentrating their naval forces at Constantinople there was no necessitv for additional American ships in Turkish waters at the present time. The Secretary made it nuite clear, however. tha while the mited States government roulJ do all In Its power to protect Americans in Turkey it would not interfere in the settlement of the general questions In dispute and would leave those mstters to Turkey and the combined powers of Uurope to settle among themselves The representatives of the missionaries expressei themselves as entirely satisfied with the course of the government In the matter. RELIEF FOn ARMENIA. An Appeal to the Public Issued by the Committee. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Inclosed plea?e find copies of appeals Issued by the Armenian relief fund committee of New York, In behalf of the'unfortunate people of Armenia. The already terrible suffering has been Intensified by the recent massacres. Thousands are In need of help, and unless speedy, relief Is sent to them they will die of starvation. The American press, almost without exception, has taken a noble stand in appealing for sympathy with Armenia. We request you to continue your surport to this cause of fufferiDtf humanity and by publishing these arpeaJs In your esteemed paper. EVERETT P. YVHEEEEE. Chairman. A. Ayvazlan, M. D., fcecretary, 421 West Fifty-second street. The people of America have been quick to respond. In sympathy, to the silent cry cf the oppressed and suffering- people of Armenia. Great mass meetings have been held. Eloquent speeches have b en made. The press has given the widest publicity to the facts. The editors of our best newspapers and periodicals have milted, without a iisenting voice. In appealing for sympatic with Armenia. Resolutions hays been

passed in ecclesiastical synods and councils by Christians of all creeds and names, agreeing In the expression of Just indignation at Turkish misrule, and of merciful compassion for the distant brethren who groan beneath it. The Christian Endeavor convention at Boston, and lately the Episcopal (ieneral Convention at Minneapolis, and the Congregational National Council at Syracuse, have commended the Armenian cause, In the most earnest terms, to the heart of all good people who hate Injustice and pity soitow. Noblemen like the Duke of Westminster.' and statesmen like Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bryce have indorsed the appeal. There Is no room for doubt. The Armenians have suffered horribly, unjustly, heroically, and without redress. They deserve the deep and earnest sympathy of all true lovers of liberty and friends of humanity. But if they deserve sympathy, they also deserve help. This is the point: They are helpless. It Is not a question merely of international politics. It -is a question of bread for the starving, raiment for the naked, shelter for the homeless and healing for the sick and wounded. Harvests have been destroyed and cattle slaughtered. Husbands and fathers have been killed In the field, and mothers butchered with their children clinging areund them. There Is great hunger, and pain, and terror, and desolation among the hills and valleys of Armenia today. The people look up, and there is no man to help or deliver them. The question is whether the people of America will reach a hand across the sea to comfort and support them. This can be done only in one way; by the contribution of money to be wisely and carefully used In the relief of suffering in Armenia. The Armenian relief committee stands ready to do this work. If you are a sympathizer with downtrodden and persecuted Armenia, we beg ycu to help us by urging the people with whom you have Influence to make their sympathy practical, and to give with American generosity for the succor of the suffering and defenseless Armenians.

CAB DRIVERS AT WORK. Most of the New York Strikers on Doty Asjaln. NEW YORK. Nov. 13. The strike of cab drivers and stablemen, which promised last night to paralyze travel by hired vehicles In the city for ah indefinite time, fell through this morning when most of the men who had been ordered out by. the Liberty Dawn Association to support the demands of the employes of Seaich's stables returned to work. Sealch's men are still on strike, but tho company sent out forty cabs to-day, driven .by - nonunion whips, each of whom was guarded by a policeman In civilian's dress on the seat beside him. Reports differ regarding the reasons which led to the sudden collapse of the sympathetic strike, but it resulted from a secret meeting held last night. Some of the strikers claim that at a conference betweeu their committee and a number of employing liverymen nine of the employers agreed to take back the men who had left them on the understanding that the drivers were to have ten hours off, an hour for dinner and a half hour for lunch, and the further agreement that the employers were to give no moral or pecuniary support to any liveryman who failed to subscribe to the same terms. Several of these employers deny that they have made such an agreement, however, and one story Is that many cabmen threatened to leave the or ganlzation unless its leaders reversed their demand for a sympathetic strike. Whichever story is correct, the tie-up was of brief duration. - Will Keep Out of Politics. BALTIMORE, Nov. 13.

A STRANG B REVERSION. Xew York Man Seepnn to lie Going Back to Primitive Type. New York Special. A medical case of the greatest interest to physicians has been discovered in New -vr i a . i .i. i H . i ui iv .iiu iue iu.cuuy iuu eiuucms ,ui nvu colleges are studying it with much curiosity. The patient is John Molansky, a cracker manufacturer at 21 Cherry street, who for the last year and a half has been changing in voice and feature until persons who knew him two years- ago would hardly recogrHze him now. To physicians this change is known as acromegalia and is one of the rarest of ailments. So unusual is it that they cannot agree about it and some claim it is not a disease, but a physical form 'of atavism or a retrogression from tho human to some primitive type of man. However that may be, Molansky Is undergoing gradual physical metamorphosis. His face is slowly changing from its original type until already it has come to show a strong resemblance to the head of. tn animal. His Jaw, which was formerly well formed, has become protruding and enlarged, while the bones about the eyes have grown abnormally. His face has changed in such a marked manner that even the bushy beard and heavy hair which he wears are insufficient to hide the disfigurement. Besides the changes in his bead, his hands and feet are growing longer and larger, and are assuming a marked resemblance to those of an ape. In pplte of this, he does not at present suffer much physical pain, and is able to attend to business as psusl. Molansky was taken to the JCev York College of Dentistry last week anrt shown to the students and faculty by Dr. Wesixe, of 45 West Twentieth street. He was also taken to the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons by Dr. Allen Starr. At the latter place Molansky told of his trouble, and how it first affected him. Said he: "In the fall of 1891 my voice began to change and my features altered. My teeth got in bad shape, and I went to a dentist, but he could do nothing for me, as my jaw had grown so misshapen. I could not take polid food, and as a consequence, the stomach suffered, and I was upset generally." Acromygalla. the disease from which the doctors say Molansky Is suffering, has only been recognized by the medical fraternity for the last ten years, and during that period not more than twenty cases have been put on record. Tho dlseaso was first noticed by Dr. P. Marie, of Paris, and for a time was known by his name. A physician, who has frequently seen Molansky, and who has had opportunity toj examine hira carefully, spoke freely of the strango case.

LIFE OF THE SULTAN

AllDt'L HAMID PASSES HIS DAYS IN DEEP SADNESS AXD MISERY. Described in Attractive Colors Ilia Trying Position Between Mohammedan nnd Christians. Washington Letter in Chicago Record. Abdul Hamld, the Sultan of Turkey, has had the respect and confidence . of every American minister to Constantinople, especially the late "Sunset" Cox and General Lew Wallace. He is a man of slight physique, medium height and a gray, full beard. All the pictures which are sppeatihg In the newspapers nowadays were taken thirty years ago. for he has not allowed himself to be photographed within that time. A gentleman" who has spent much time in Constantinople and know? him thoroughly said yesterday: "The Sultan wears the most careworn, despondent" expression I have ever seen on a human face. People who go to ceremonies at which the Sultan can be seen and look for the grand monarch, attended by pomp and circumstance, are always surprised and disappointed when they see him. He is very simple In his tastes, unostentatious In his manners and cares nothing for display. He Invariably wears the field uniform of an infantry officer, which is plain black brcadcloth, with a red cord up and down the seams. I know many people who have gone to Constantinople with the usual prejudice against the Turk, and have in a very short time gome to feel the deepest sympathy with him, a man who has more cares on his shoulders than any one else in the world. "From what people heat and know of the personal instincts of the Sultan that is, what he does and says his disposition is most kindly. He is very generous; he gives his personal attention and large sums of money from his private purse to all worthy objects of charity, and has founded many benevolent institutions, including an asylum for old people. Whenever there is a calamity or a disastrous fire and a severe accident of any kind Abdul Hamld is very ready to express his sympathy and make a contribution for the relief of the suffering, and it is admitted on all hands that he is in perfect sympathy with the advancement of knowledge. Hundreds of schoolhouses have been erected all over the empire by his orders, and, what is more remarkable In a Mohammedan country, these include many schools for girls even for the higher education of women. The principal ..high school In Constantinople, which was built by the Sultan, is named In honor of his mother. It is a well-known fact that whenever an Important matter of state comes up or whenever he is perplexed as to the course he shoulJ pursue he drives over to Fee the vallde Sultana, as they call her, in order to consult her and get her Judgment before he sees his Ministers. She lives in a handsome palace on the outskirts of the city. "When Abdul Aziz was assassinated in 1878 Just before the outbreak of the war between Russia and Turkey he was succeeded on the throne by Murad. his uncle, for the succession in Moslem law does not go from father to son, but to the eldest member of the ruling family. Murad reigned but three months. It was commonly stat-, ed that immediately after his accession to the throne Murad jeveloped signs of insanity. In fact, there were reports that his mind was unsound before he was created Sultan. "The Sheik Ul-Islam. who might be called the Pope of the Mohammedan Church, Issued a fetwan or script declaring that Murad was incapable of exercising authority, and at the same time, probably to place tho matter In a proper light before the governments of Europe, two distinguished physicians from Vienna were summoned to Constantinople. They made a thorough examination and agreed as to his mental Incapacity. This was final, and Abdul Hamld, his brother, the next eldest member of tho family, on Aug. 31, 1S76, ascended the throne without revolution or bloodshed. HIS CRAZY BROTHER. "Murad was placed In a palace on the shores of the Bosporus, near Constantinople, where, it is presumed, he has been ever since. The public know nothing of him. Th enemies of Abdul have often claimed that he Is sane and is kept a prisoner in order that he may not interfere with the prerogative of his younger brother, but not until recently has there been any suggestions about releasing him and restoring him to power. Nor have these been Indorsed by any men of importance or influence. Murad is undoubtedly crazy. If he had been sane, or even sane enough to be cunning, he would certainly have found some way to communicate with the outside world during the twenty years of his imprisonment. He might have sent a message to the British embassador or to some other member of the diplomatic corps at one time or another. Nor would Abdul have allowed him to remain in so convenient a location under ordinary guard if there was any doubt as to his condition. If he was sane enough to be made the head of a political revolution there are plenty of adventurers and conspirators around Constantinople who would havo taken advantage of the fact. ."Abdul has been on the throne for twenty years, which is a long time for a Turkish sovereign. He is regarded by all Europe as a man of ability and good intentions, but his weakness consists in his inability to devise and conduct a methodical and responsible administration. He trusts nobody. He is himself the government, the fountain of all power and the director of all details which In other governments are left to bureau officers. He requires the most trivial official matters to pass through his hanis. For example, he reviews the decisions of all the courts of Turkey when they impose sentences for more than five years' Imprisonment. "On of his secretaries says one morning the Minister of Justice laid before the Sultan with a recommendation of approval the record in the case of a man who had been sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment. Turning to his Minister, the Sultan asked: 'Have you ever been in prison for fifteen years?' " 'No. your Majesty replied the Minister. " 'Well, it is a long time remarked the Sultan. 'Make It five years.' "It is tho common understanding in Constantinople that this method of administration reduces the Sultan to four hours' sleep per day, allows him no time for rest or recreation, and makes him the hardest working monarch in the world. It is. of course, this very devotion to detail that discredits' his administration and causes the greatest confusion in his government, for everything that he does not attend to stops, and everything he has under consideration is hung UD until he has marie up his mind what to do or given instnictions to nis ministers aoout u. ah of his ministers, even the Grand Vizier himself, are mere clerks. The statements and promises they make to foreign ambassadors are frequently discredited by the Sultan. Whenever they attempt to anticipate him they usually get into trouble, for he is sty suspicious that he often goes exactly to tho contrary of their advice and repudiates pledges they may have honestly made. "Another great difficulty Is that the Sultan Imagines that he passes individually upon all matters brought before him and that his instructions are faithfully carried out, but that is impossible. The multitude of his dutl;s nnd the infinite amount of business he endeavors to transact make It all the easier for his ministers and their subordinates to deceive him. and he never knows what happens with half the business after it passes his haads. Orders, proclamations and other papers are prepared by secretaries at the palate for his signature, and arc then sent down to the Ministry for execution, but between the palace and the Porte that Is, between the personal staff of the Sultan and the Grand Vizier and the Council of Ministers there Is an everFlumberlng hostility, each striving for the greater Influence with the sovereign. The one often counteracts and neutralizes the work of the other, and at intervals endeavors to bring the other into disgrace. WARNED IN TIME. "It is well known that some time In 10?, shortly before the Grand Vizier, Kiamll Pasha, fell, he told the Sultan plainly that It was impossible to conduct the government on his plan: and described to him the intrigues and Jealousies that were raising so much mischief with the people and around the court. He named more especially one palace favorite, an Arab priest, whom he asserted was constantly engaged in thwarting the plans and the policy of the Ministry. It is most likely that Klamil Tasha's recent fall after being in ofllco but a few weeks was due In some way or another to this same cause, for he Is a statesman in every sense of the word, and Is considered more honorable and intelligent than most of the public men in Turkey. He is seventy-two 3'ears of age. hns been in the Turkish embassy at St. Petersburg and Governor of Syria he has traversed nearly every foot of the empire, -Is perfectly fa

miliar with all foreign affairs and speaks with the grace of the native English. French, Italian. Greek and Arabic. "Three or four years ago two young Americans wished to cross Asia on their bicycles. The American minister at Constantinople strongly discouraged the adventure, but as they jerslsted he took them to Kiamll Pasha, who was then Grand Vizier.' The latter also objected, owing to the turbulent condition of the countrv and the lack of proper roads. But when the American youths told him they were going anyhow he yielded to their determination and said: Well, it can be done, and If you Insist upon going I will show you the road "He then sat down before a map wjth them, laid out an Itinerary for their Journey, gave them letters to all the governors and officials In the towns they would pass through and made very valuable suggestions as to their conduct on the journey. For months nothing was heard of them, and the Grand Virier snared the concern of the Inlt?d States minister as to their fate. He made frequent inquiries at the legation concerning them and was greatly gratified when he found that they bad got through all right. "The chief cause of the present turbulence Is the effort-of the Armenians to obtain independence. Their movement has disturbed the entire people, and as is natural in such cases, all discontent, for whatever cause, has come to the surface and broken out in violence. But the most serious danger that threatens the Sultan is. the suspicion of his own people that he is inclined to . submit to the dictation of the European powers. Whenever he makes a concession to theChristian nations he arouses the hostilityof the Mohammedans in his own empire, and whenever he favors the Mohammedans he endangers the peace of Europe. He is thus between two fires and tries to do nothing. As he has rid Cabinet of advisers behind him In whom he Dlaces confidences he has to go it alone, and the Ministry becomes suspicious and discontented when he Ignores their counsel. They would naturally prefer some one who would permit them to partlclpatelln publio affairs and treat them with greater dignity, and respect. "Abdul Hamld used to lean heavily upon General Wallace when the latter was United States minister to Turkey. He valued bis advice above that of any one and used to call upon him in the middle of the night and get him out of bed to consult about matters of immediate importance. "No one need be surprised at any time to hear of the assassination of Abdul Hamld. He stands practically alone in Turkey today. His brother, Mehemmed Reshad, is the heir to the throne." THE MIULIST SPECTER.

It Thcatens to Make Life n Burden to Russia's Young; Ruler. Washington Times. Hardly a year has passed since the tragedy of Llvad la hardly a year since the touch of death fell upon the massive head and giant frame of Alexander III, and am'd those strange scenes of mourning for the father's death and rejoicing for the son's mariage Nicholas II v.-as proclaimed Czar of all the Russlas. The. last of the Alexanders were haunted to-his deathbed, and to his final breath by the specter of nihilism. That specter sat at his right hand throughout every state banquet, rode before him in every grand military review, startled him repeatedly on every Journey he took by sea or land, and shook him even in the recesses of the cabinet chamber, the study and his curtained bed. He lived in fear, and,, weakened by fear, he sank in the prime of life into the only resting place this world had held for him. As the court of St. Petersburg prepares to cloak its gay Ufa for a little season and observe in silence the anniversary of its last chief's death the signs are multiplying that the drama hich ended last winter on the Crimean shore is about to be repeated: that the specter, which seemed to be laid by the sudden end of its Imperial victim, is again watching on the terrace of the Peterhof, and that the ' raca with terror, which consumed the energy of Alexander Ill's body and exhausted the power of his mind, must now be undertaken by his imperial son. That the nihilist terror is abroad In Russia has not been doubted by anybody acquainted with Russian affairs in the last three, months. Even the Russian newspapers, whose business it is to suppress all vital political news, have betrayed, the se cret. Now it was a sudden change of the imperial plans, now the unexpected arrest of whole societies and families, now the hurried dismissal of old officials and lifelong court servants, which told of the incessant work of that omniscient political police, whose sole business in Russia is, to hunt down nihilists and preserve the lives of the reigning family. Tne appearance of the young Czar, unguardeu, in public, ceased as Inexplicably as it had begun. His free coming and going at the Peterhof, greeted so Joyously a few months ago as the sign of a new era in Russia, is a matter of the past. His receptions of strange delegations and visitors from remote provinces wero suspended weeks ago. On the iron throne of Russia sits once more a tecluse Romanoff, hidden from his people, shrinking in' fright from his most devoted subjects, suspicious, nervous, terrified, unteasonable, as was his father before him. , Within the last weeks all the safeguards thrown for ten years around the person of Alexander HI. but abolished by Nicholas II soon after he ascended the throne, have been recalled to use. The St. Petersburg correspondents say that the familiar faces of the old days may be seen now, as then, at every coiner within a mile radius of any place where the Czar stops. The park at the Peterhof is . patrolled by detectives disguised as foresters, stablemen, gardeners and care-takers. The lodges along the country roads leading to the imperial residence have been opened to receive, as they did for ten years, the casual visitors, who coming from and going to the main office of the Czai's police, seldom miss the chance of casting a watchful eye on the home of the man whom they are all charged to protect trom harm. Wben Nicholas II, with his young bride, put on the purple and raised the scepter, the eighty Cossacks who long had guarded night and day every possible entrance to the Czar's apartments, wero dismissed, and about ten soldieis of the local Infantry were summoned to serve in their stead. On Monday even this trivial Innovation was abandoned, and the Cossacks were called back to their foimer post, some of them from their retirement in the south and middle of Russia. From 1883 to the time of his death Alexander III never appeared outside of his bedroom and stmlv without a fine steel suit of mall which would protect his bodv, back and front, between his collar .bone and his loins, from the dagger of the assasssin. Excepting his valet and his wife nobody had seen this suit of mali. as it was worn between his underclothes and unlfotm. but the Czar's unwillingness to go even to a cabinet council without it was an open secret in all the courts of Europe. Bismarck at one time wore sueh a coat, as did also Stambouloff and Crlspt. None of these men, however, resorted to such precaution until repeated attempts at assassination had been made. Nicholas II has waited for no such attempt. Ever since the last attests of nihilist students In Odessa he has worn a shirt of nickel and steel, onerous as the garment must be to a man of his inferior physique and lethargic habits. Still sttanger stories of his fear and caution have penetrated to the walla of the Imperial palace and gained credence among the people of his capital. Although no dagger has been laid on his pillow to unnerve him and no warning of death has been laid under his dinner plate to plague him. he never visits his dinner tabl or bed without the company of a trusted attendant. It is this attendant's business to examine every napkin and to turn everv plate on the table before his majesty sits down to eat. and to unmake, and ma:e again the whole bed before bis majesty retires for the night. At every door of the dinlns-room and bed chamber stands a Cossack guard, day and night, and from every dish that is served at the imperial table a special watcher in the court kitchen must eat a mouthful before it Is served, to prevent any chance of poisoning. The question suggested to all Europe by this sudden revival of the nihilist reign of terror in the home of the Czar is: What new plot have the police discovered, and what new fear has overtaken the young sovereign, but eight months ago so confident of his popularity and safety? The answers have been numerous, but with one exception untrustworthy. The one exception is the mail report of abnormal nihilist activity throughout Russia and equally ahnormal police activity to meet It. From St. Petersburg to Odessa and from Warsaw to Ratoum the societies that have sworn their thousands to exterminate the reigning house of Romanoff. Itave be stirred themselves to execute their one aim in political life. The remarkable fall of the Crar from the cloud of sweetness and Usht, in which popular fancv at first placed him. to the deepest depth of the autocratic reaction, has driven Into the arms of nihilism tens nf thousands who. even under Alexander III. were able to remain loyal to the crown and inimical to the revolution.
