tlzzk before Constantinople. This Is a danGrous feature of the affair, an! Is adding the anxiety felt on alt sides. In spite of the threatened storm, however, the Sultan persists In his refusal to Issue the firmans, and has again male an evaelve reply 0 the Ilrttlsh embassador's representations on the subject. Hut Sir Philip Currie. when assured by Tewflk Pasha that the firmans woul i be forthcoming, promptly telegraphed to th almlral In command of he British MeJiterranean squadron. Instructing him to dispatch a gunboat to the Ierdanellcs. to be used in the Iiosphorus as an extra guard ship at the disposal of the British embassy. As a result the twinscrew torpedo jrunboat Dryai. 1.O70 tons, carry:" four seven-inch ' qulck-nrln and four six-pounder guns, was di?patche J to the Dardanelles, and Is expected to arrive at ("nanakkale to-Jay and pass rlftht on to the Bosphorus. The failure of the Porte to grant permission for the passage of the Mraits of the .Dardanelles thus puta Sir I'liiiip Currie in a somewhat embarrassing position, the only escape from which Is to order away the Dryad or to insist that she be allowed to pass In, backing up the order by force, if that shouli be necessary. TEWFIK PASHA UPBRAIDED. The Sultan Is known to be in a elate of the greatest agitation at the news that the extra British gunboat is heading for the Dardanelles on the strength of the assurances given the British embassador by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and consequently the position of Tewflk Pasha Is not a 1 pleasant one. The latter was sent for at midnight and an exciting interview took place between him and the Sultan, during' which the latter bitterly and tearfully reproached Tewflk Pasha for his action in the matter. The Pasha tried to Justify himself by recalling that the granting of the firmans had been agreed to in substance by the Sultan; that he, as in duty bound, so Informed Sir Philip Currie when the latter sent an urgent message asking for a prompt reply to several communications on the subject. The Sultan insisted that it was impossible to Issue the firmans, as it would cause rioting in Constantinople, and that the powers should be content with the measures taken by the government to maintain order and not hamper the authorities by making a demonstration likely to undo all the good he , was endeavoring to do. The Sultan then instructed Tewflk Pasha to do everything possible to Induce the British embassador to countermand hi? order for the bunboat. Slr Philip, however, refused to do so, saying that he was tired of being trifled with and reminding his visitor that Great . Britain was acting fairly within her treaty rights and on'tht assurance of a responsible member of the Turkish government that the Porte had decided to grant permission for the extra guard boats to pas3 the Dardanelles. : Tewflk l'asha returned to the palace In a very unenviable frame of mind and announced the failure of his mission to the Sultan. The latter is said to have been frantic with rage and drove Tewlik irorr. his presence with fierce reviling?. The President of the State Council, Said Pasha, who Is supposed to have some Influence with Sir Philip Currie, was thereupon hurriedly sent for and reached the apartments of th-j Sultan after 1:30 a. m. Abdul Hamld eagerly besought him to 50 immediately to the British embassador and rpare no effort to induce him to order 'the recall of the Dryad. The entreaties of Said Pasha seem to have had weight with the embassador, for Sir Philip finally consented to place the whole matter at that late hour once more before hi3 government and to await further instruction.?, although he is understood to have carte blanche as to what step he thinks is necessary to take in treating with the Sultan. Th Turkish officials believe the Marquis of Salisbury, acting on the understanding that nothing Is to be done to nlnder the efforts of the Sultan In the work of maintaining order rr.ay Instruct Sir Philip to direct the commander of the Dryad not to enter the Dardanelles at present. THE SULTAN HAS LOST HIS HEAD. Abdul Hamld appears to have completely lort his head, the public service Is entirelydisorganized, the Cabinet Ministers are being sent for from the palace at all hours of the day and night and may be said to te In almost constant attendance at the Yildlz Kiosk. Everybody is anxious and worried, the embassadors being as tired as everybody else here at the long months of .eJmost fruitless efforts to induce the Sultan :o really govern his empire with some decree of common sense. The little news received here from Asiatic Turkey only tends to make the situation look blacker. The hurrying of troops to Syria and Palestine continues, and there is no doubt that the rebellious Druses will have to submit to a hevy reckoning with the Turk for their uprising. The flames of a holy war, always tmoldering among the Musselmans. tre being dangerously fanned and may at any time burst forth into a conflagration which will compel all Europe to fake a hand in saving the lives and property of many thousands of almost helpless C'hristians. A stray shot, a sharp blow may explode the powder magazine with which the weakminded Abdul Hamld has been toying so long. The unyielding attitude of the Sultan on the question of extra guard ships is much commented on by the members of the diplomatic corps here, especially as the powers are asking only for the rights to which they are entitled under the treaties with Turkey. They hold that an increase in the number of guard ships here is absolutely indispensable, as the danger to foreigners has not by any means passed, as the Turkish government would try to make the powers believe. It Is believed that ster,s have been taken to give protection to foreigners, but the constant receipt of news telling of fresh massacres of Chrlitlans causes the utmost uneasiness, not only among the foreigners here, but among the Mussulmans, who are naturally excited by such events, and whose fanaticism is being aroused by reports stealthily circulated, probably at the instance of the palace advisers of the Sultan, that the powers are desirous of making a naval demonstration In theso waters, and so insulting the Sultan by Ignoring his authority and assuming to look with contempt upon his efforts to maintain order. It will thus be seen that the Mussulmans here may be secretly aroused to making a demonstration when the extra war ships enter the Iiosphorus. In order to avoid this it is understood that the extra guard boats will, if circumstances permit it, come in singly and at Intervals. ARMKD FORCR NECESSARY. The embassadors, however, believe that trouble In this city can only be averted by an extra show of force here, and that In any case reinforcements are necessary to Insure the safety of the foreign residents of Constantinople. The embassadors hold that further submission to the caprices of the palace would be a serious mistake on the part of the powers, and as thl3 dispatch is sent they are anxiously awaiting final Instructions from their governments to proceed to reinforce the foreign war ships without the Sultan's consent, which would mean that foreign fleets would be called on to escort the extra gunboats through the straits of the Dardanelles, even If a bombardment of the forts should be necessary. Tolerance, it appears, has ceased to be a virtue in the present case, and even those who have been in favor of the most pacific treatment in dealing with the Sultan now appear to have arrived at the conclusion that nothing but a show of armed force will bring Abdul Hamld to his senses. The time for diplomatic exchanges of vlew3 seems to have about expired, and everybody here is hourly expecting the news that the war ships of the powers are heading for the entrance to the Dardanelles. There has been some delay In the receipt of the answer to the nVssage which Sir Philip Currie sent to London after his interview early this morning with Said Pasha. The Turks believe that this indicates that Great Britain has decided on further delay, but thij is not the gen.ral opinion here. United States Minister Terrell has received details connrming the reported massacre of Christians and the destruction of American mission property at Marash on Nov. is. It Is now established beyond a doubt that the school of science attached to the American mission and other buildings were pillaged and set on fire, and that two other buildings belonging to th Americans were ransasked. Minister Terrell's advices also confirm the statement that no protection was afforded the Americans or their property, in spite of the promises of the Porte, until eight hours after the rioting. The American missionaries, telegraphing under date of Tuesday last, from Marash. say they are all safe under the protection of the Turkish authorities. An estimate is being made of the damage done, and the Turkish officials say they are doing everything possible to recover the property looted from the American buildings. Every report which reaches Constantinople not only confirms the stories r.f reported outrages, but adds to the list of horrors recorded and swells ihe death roll by hundreds daily. Blood, Are and famlno bf.ve hen stalking unchck?d If not encouraged throughout the Asiatic dominions ? t,. Turk, and Ihe hour, it is said, cannot !on;r be delayed when Europe must call "mUt" to the bloodthirsty inlldel and the croe-j be upraised against the green banner Cf Mahomet. From Krrerum ome additional news was forthcoming to-day, but it only served to lalnt the picture blacker and redder. More

attempts to exterminate the Christian uopulatlon of that city and vicinity hav be.n made and the Armenians who survive ore actually being Induced by their priests to embrace Ialamism to save their lives. The last outbreak at Erze nun, according to the official account of the affair, was of a trifling nature only eight persons were killed and is attributed by the Governor of Erzerum to an encounter between agents of the tobacco internal revenue department and some smugglers. The Armenian versions of the affair put an entirely dliTrnt complexion on the disturbance, saying the number of killed waa much greater and that the rioting was occasioned by the Turks. MISSIONARIES STILL IN PERIL. A dispatch from Kharput. dated yesterday, again reports that it ha been established that the American mission buildings there, which were - recently destroyed by rioters, previous to the maf3acre of about 803 Christians, were set on Are by the Kurds in the presence of the Turkish troops, who made absolutely no effort to prevent them from o doing. It is added that the Mussulmans who took part In the incendiarism, although the American missionaries and the unburned houses were protected by a detachment of about one hundred soldiers. Only slight confidence is felt in the security cf the American missionaries who remain at Kharput and the nonarrlval here of letters from them, giving details of the recent disturbances at Kharput, leads to the belief that. In spite of the promises made by the Porte to Mr. Terrell, they have been intercepted by the Turkish authorities. Mr. Terrell will make further representations to the Turkish government on this subject and everything possible is being done to communicate with the American missionaries. Further advices from the provinces establish the fact that the local Turkish oftlclala are continuing their efforts to force the Armenians, under various threats, to sign addresses of gratitude to the Sultan and to declare that the outbreaks were the work of a few misguided persons. The Turkish newspapers publish dispatches from the different provinces containing similar statements; but the members of the diplomatic corps attach no Importance to such assurances. The local authorities here yesterday vainly asked the Armenian papers of this city to publish similar statements, under threat of suppressing the publication of the papers if they did not do so. The publishers reported that the statements were false and that under no circumstances would they publish them. The newspapers have not yet been suppressed. . RELIEF FOR A II 31 E . I A X S .

Unless Aid In Given Thousands Will Die of Stnrvnt)on. BOSTON. Nov. 23. The following reliable letter from an Amerlctrn resident in Constantinople was. received hero to-day: "The most pressing question next to that of the safety of the people who survive Is the provision of aid for the families of those who have been slaughtered. Aid must come on a great scale or thousands will die. The powers will have control in some way before the money comes in, so that relief work on a large ccale will be possible. The position here is critical in the extreme. The Turks coming in from Asiatic; Turkey, flushed with massacre and pillage, are telling of their deeds, and a loot our bazaars, with an accompanying slaughter, is possible at any "moment. The Sultan Is fighting for his life, and is not yet convinced that he is going to be punished for hi3 crimes. When the powers are ready to move on him he may order any wild act of revenge in the way of general massacre in order to go out in a cloud of smoke and glory. The powers are acting in the greatest secrecy that he may not have time to do this. When the fleets are ready to come In they will put themselves in communication with the Porte and demand the surrender of the Sultan's person, and I think that the Porte will dethrone him. But It will be an anxious time until this Is accomplished." Another letter from a reliable correspondent at Treblzond, Turkey, says that the Armenians, as a prosperous and enterprising community, are, for the present, wiped out of existence. In the western quarter, entirely surrounded by Tuklsh houses, it is said that twenty-five men and fifteen women perished. The condition of the Armenian villagers Is pitiable? Indeed, their strong men killed and their houses looted and burned. The women and children, with the few men left, hover about under the shelter of the forest trees with no food and bedding, and only such thin clothing as they had on when this horrible massacre burst upon them. The following cablegram was received today by the Rev. Judson Smith, D. D., of the American board, from Constantinople, by the way of Phillppopol!s, Bulgaria: "Missionaries at Harpoot, Bltlls and Marash protected by soldiers, but streets unsafe for an7 Christians. Confidence weak. Difficult to send money for personal needs of missionaries." The confinement of the missionaries within their own homes necessarily means the cessation of all their work, and a sure sign that they may soon be reduced to want and possible death by starvation. There are twenty-five missionaries in the three places named. Special anxiety is felt for the welfare and safety of Rev. Croslcy Wheeler, D. D., and wife. Dr. Wheeler is a confined invalid, over seventy years old, and it Is believed that he is still In Harpoot. He is the author of a well-known missionary volume entitled Ten Years on the Euphrates." Mil. HOWARD IS SAFE, lint He Cannot Carry Ont Ills Mission of Merry. In Armenia. NEW YORK, Nov. 23. News waa received to-day of the safety of William Wlllard Howard, who was supposed to have been murdered by the Kurds while on a mission of mercy to Armenia. Mr. Howard was sent to Van several months ago by the Christian Herald, of New York, to distribute a relief, fund of J12.C0) contributed by Americans for the benefit of the Aski Minor sufferers. The Christian Herald to-day received the following cablegram from Mr. Howard, dated Djouifa, Persia, Nov. 29: "Twice driven back from Turkey. Kurds are devastating the country, and it is impossible to obiain guards at any price. I have offered $5A for a safe escort to Van. The Hamidleh cavalry, assisted by regular Turkish troops disguised as Kurds, have destroyed forty-six Armenian villages between the Persian border and Van. Many persons have been massacred, a number of women were ravished and girls abducted. Jt is impossible to estimate the number of killed at present. The village of Iartalon, with a population of two hundred, was destroyed, all the people being slain. News has been received here that Armenian refugees are fleeing In all directions, mostly towards Van, avhich is now in a state of siege. The trees in the streets have been felled to give cannon free play. Cannon are trained on the Armenian quarter, and a massacre Is expected. "Armenian patriots gave battle to a large force of Hamidieh (Kurdish cavalry) for two days near Sera!. Many were killed on both sides, and the Hamidleh withdrew. They destroyed Feral and attacked the Persian village of Kotour, but were repulsed by the fort and th Kotour garrison after a two days' fight. Turkish regulars waited near, ready to join In the plundering of th villagers If the Kurds succeeded In capturing it. The Hamidieh attacked and destroyed another village. Rerugees in the var.ous districts report that che entire province of Van is being destroyed by tho Hamblen.' Duke of Westminster's Views. NEW YORK. Nov. 23. The Duke of Westminster, according to a letter just received by the Armenian Relief Association, says: "No settlement of the Armenian question can be deemed satisfactory which does not place forever beyond the reach of their oppressors the remnant of the persecuted Christians in Turkey. This can best be done by an adequate and effective European control." The Duke has written to the Russian, French, Austrian, German and Italian embassadors In London, begging them to ask their respective governments to co-operate with England. The Duke of Westminster expresses the hope that the Armenian Association will not fall to represent to President Cleveland the ardent desire of all who are working for the Armenians that the United States government will not only seek to protect its own subjects, but also those who have been educated and trained for useful occupations In the schools and colleges of American missions In Turkey. Turkish Acronnts of Outrages. WASHINGTON. Nov. 23,-The Turkish legation received from the Sublime Porte the following telegram under to-day's date: "The Armenian revolutionists of Keban, disregarding .he advices of the local authorities and having fired on the soldiers, the? latter had to answer back. Then, the rioters, after setting fire to their homes, VaPcd to Ferns and Zeltoun. With the exception of this Incident, the tranquillity is perfect tn the province of Aleppo. On the 20th Inst, the Armenians of Erzerum, seeing that some officials of the Regie were arresting some, smugglers, closed their shops, and during the panic that followed

five Armenians were killed and six wounded. No disorders whatever took place on the 2lth and 2Gth Inst, in any of the provinces. An Armenian of Marash set fire to his house, situated in the Mussulman part of the city, in order to start a big lire. The authorities of Diarlk and Sivas found and restored to their owners the greater part oT the stolen articles and cattle."

Wlmt Jolinntnn Sold Alioat Terrell. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Nov. 23.-Rev. T. M. Johnston, the Baptist minister of this city who so bitterly arraigned Minister Terrell la3t Sunday night, corrects a statement published In New York to the effect that he had said Mr. Terrell had actually adrpted the Mohammedan religion. Mr. Johnston says he meant to convey the idea that Mr. Terrell might as well be a Turk so far as the Americans under the domain of the Fultan are concernM; that he obtains favors for himself, and does not bother himself about others. He says he did not charge Mr. Terrell with abetting the murder of Christians, or that he inalvldually garbles or smothers press reports. The petition signed by Mr. Johnston and the thirty-three other members of his party, asking for Minslster Terrell's removal has been forwarded to Secretary Olney. Christians freed to Prny. CHICAGO, N.ov. 23. In view of the distress and horrors existing in Turkey the prudential committee of the American board sends out the following call: "The American board of commissioners for Foreign Missions unites with the Woman's Board of Missions in asking the Christians of America to observe Friday, Dec. 6 (or such other day in the same week as may be more convenient In particular churches), as a day of special prayer for Turkey, for its suffering people- and for the missionaries and the imperiled mission work within the emplie. This will doubtless reach you before Wednesday, and it may suit your convenience to make this a subject of earnest prayer on that evening. Let the untied cry o? Christendom go up to heaven that deliverance may come quickly." SAID TO BE SETTLED ZELLA M CO LAIS ALLEGED TO HAVE GOT 10,MH FROM (iOlLD.

Local papers announce this morning that the case brought by Zella Nlcolaus-Ruhman against Geo. J. Gould for the recovery of a $10,000 check, is now practically settled. It was to have come up at the December term of the Hudson County (N. J.) Supreme Court before Justice LIppincott. The terms of the, settlement have not been made public, but It Is said the plaintiff will not secure more than enough money to pay the fees of her attorneys. The World this morning s ys, in reference to the Nicolaus case: "Zella NIcolaus and her husband, A. L. Ruhman, accompanied by their counsel, Alexander Simpson, of Jersey City," and ex-Judge Wm. T. Hoffman, met in the office of Wlnslow Pierce, George Gould's attorney, In the Western Union 'Building. Robert V. Llndabury, who also represented Mr. v Gould, came in after the discussion had begun. The question up for debate was, of course, how much Miss Nlcolaus would takte to discontinue proceedings. It was said that one of the points which Induced Zella Nicolaus to agree to a compromise was that Mr. Gould's representatives have obtained the statement of a man who acted wdth Miss Nicolaus in the deal which led to the original conauest of the check for $.000. The evlences of this man, it was reported, would materially weaken the plaintiffs case." Tho World then says that Mr. Gould's lawyer, paid Miss NicoJaus 110,000 In greenbacks. Out of this she must pay counsel fees and all the expenses she has incurred In the proceedings. In return she gave Mr. Gould full release for any claim lor damages or recompense for alleged assault made upon her by any member of the Gduld family.
