ILAX TO AID T11U TltKAStnY. Tlow Mr. Smltu Would Force Hanks to ftlve 1 1 Their Gold. WASHINGTON. Dec. 23. Representative William Smith, of Michigan, has Introduced In th House a bill embracing a new plan to absorb the greenbacks and treasury, note and release in their stead the gold held by ' banks as reserves. The bill has been submitted to Senator Sherman. Chairman Dlngley, of the ways and means committee, and Controller "Eckel. Mr. Smith ays, and has been approved by them. It provides that national bank3 In the cities of Albany, Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland. Detroit, Loulfvllle, Milwaukee, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia. Pittsburg. St. Louis, San Francisco and Washington shall keep on hand In United States and treasury notes an amount equal to at least 25 per cent, of their notes in circulation to secure deposits, and all other banking associations 16 per cent. When these reserves fall below the amounts given, the bill provides, the tanks shall not-increase their liabilities by making new loans and discounts, except by purchasing or discounting billa of exchange payable at si.?ht; nor pay a dividend until the reserves are restored to the required amount. Also, the Controller and Secretary of the Treasury may, after thirty days notice, put Into the hand .4 of a receiver to be closed banks that fail to maintain the required reserves. The principal chanse which Mr. Smith's plan proposes is the substitution of United Scales notes and treasury notes, which Include the- greenbarks and demand paper for the present requirement of "lawful money" for the reserves. This would withdraw the currency which now keeps in motion the "endlws chain" and replace th? gold in Its stead. Mr. Smith says that, according to the last report of the Controller of the Currency, there was In the Lanka Individual deposit.. United States deposit. and deposits of United Statos disbursing others th sum of $1.715,194.Sin. an amount approximating the reserve required.

DELPHI, Ind., Dec. 2S.-The people living In Young America are preparing to oppose the petition for the pardon of Dill Green, the murderer of Fnos Brumbaugh, who Is now serving a life sentence In the northern prison. When Green was carted off to the penitentiary he stated that he wanted to live long enough to regain his liberty and walk ankle deep In the ashes of Young America. He and hbi brother Amer were two of the most spiteful, malicious and vindictive outlaws that ever terrorized any community. They burned barns, stole horses, robbed hen roorts, maimed cattle and finally both became red-handed murderers and many of tho people of Young America would not rest well at night If this murderous hunchback was once more at liberty. The protest against Green's pardon will 'set forth that tho county spent thousands of dollars to put him where he is, that if he be released, being a hopeless crirple, tho county would have to support him: that he would be a constant menace to the citizens of that community and that there is no good reason why clemency should be extended.

AN UNFORTUNATE SHIP. The Strnthnevls Xnrrowly Escape Itelnfr III own Aitliore. PORT TOWNSEND. Wash.. Dec. 28.-Mls-fortune seems determined to follow the steamship Strathnevls to the last. She was ordered to proceed to Tacoma to land her passengers and cargo, preparatory to going Into the dry docks for repairs. A gale was blowing from the southwest. Two large tugs took her in tow as sho was about to round Point Marrowstone, bound up the sound. A squall of wind came up and for a few moments the vessel became unmanageable. Had not the tug Sea Lion rushed to the rescue with new hawsers, the old ones having parted, it is quite probablo she would have drifted ashore. Just as the Strathnevls was leaving Port Townsend a United States marshal arrived from Seattle and libeled the vessel In behalf of the management of the rescuing steamer Mlneola, a corporation that is controlled by the Southern Pacific. The libel was issued by the District Court of Seattle and is said to be for $150,000. An important point In this matter is now under discussion as to the dlsiwsitlon of the salvage when recovered. The Canadian Pacific Steamship Company wants a slice of the salvage and will ask for the modest sum of J2Gf,0, one-third of the value of the vessel ana cargo. The Mlowcrn Probnbly Safe. . VICTORIA, British Columbia, Dec. 28.

She reports that she sighted the steamship during the day of the 23d one hundred miles off Flattery. She was then under steam and proceeding south, evidently planning to .ecoal at. Honolulu. Inference is drawn here that failing to find the Strathnevls sfter the -storm in which they parted. Captain Stott thought It best to Ik? content with his first towage salvage and hastened to make up lost time with his passengers and mails. Movements of Steamers. NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.

TURKS USED SHELLS

BARRACKS AT ZE1TOLX IIOMI! A HDPD AND DESTROYED BY F1IIE. Commanders of the Troops Notified to Spare Women and Children Armenians Condemned to Death. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 2S.-AdditIonal advices from Zeltoun have been made public here. It appears that the Turkish troops only bombarJed the barracks at that place, these buildings being occupied by the Armenians. The explosion of the shells pet fire to the barracks and obliged the combatants to take refuge In flight. The town of Zeltoun is said to contain many thousands of Armenians who are at the mercy of the troops. The dragomans of the embassies of the powers have Again made representations to the Porte In the efforts being made to save the lives of the Armenians of Zeltoun, and they have been Informed that the Turkish commanders have orders, which have been repeated to them, not to molest the noncombatants, women or children of Zeltoun. Nothing is known here of the fate of the crowds of Armenians who were reported to have been, caught in the pass outsidft of Zeltoun. The departure of the Russian Black sea squadron Irom Sebastopol on Dec. 13 for an unknown destination is much commented on here, and has caused some lively speculation as to Its ultimate destination. Advices received here from Treblzond say that thirty-five Armenians have been tried by court-martial there for taking part in the troubles which broke out In that city In October last, and six of them have been condemned to dath. Others of the accused have been exiled, and fifteen of the prisoners have been sentenced to terms of penal servitude varying from five years to imprisonment for life. The condemned men include a priest, a lawyer, two merchants, a professor, a carpenter, and others of all classes, including a-Protestant professor. THE DARDANELLES. Uncle Sum Maintain 'Enrkcy Una No ItlKht to Clone the Straits. WASHINGTON, Dec. 25. Tho cable report from Constantinople that the United States denied tho right of Turkey to prevent the passage of. warship through tho Dardanelles brings out the fact that this government has constantly declined to admit such a right "and while it has not recently had occasion to make an Issue with Turkey on this subject ministers to that country have been cautioned to go no further than to recognize the exclusion as a usage and not as a right. President Pierce, in first laid down the doctrine that this government was determined to maintain the freedom of the states and of the great natural channels of navigation, and to deny the right of a nation to treat one of the great maritime highways of nations as a closed sea and prevent Its navigation freely. In the case of Turkey Secretary Fish, In 1S71 and 1S72, regarded the abstract . right of the Turkish government to obstruct th; Dardanelles as a serious question and felt that a proper occasion mleht in the future arise for us to dispute the applicability of the claim to United States men-of-war, but meanwhile It was deemed expedient to acquiesce in the exclusion. Thero has been no recent reaasertion of this doctrine. Two Thousand Killed and Wonnded. BOSTON, Dec. 28. A correspondent, writing from Constantinople concerning the recent Turkish atrocities in Asia Minor, says that at Arabekir two thousand Christians were killed and wounded, and that out of some two thousand houses of Christians fully three-quarters were burned. "Into the remaining houses," the writer states, "are huddled several thousand survivors, who are living on the refuse grain rescued from their burned houses. Tho scenes of the worst periods of Saracenic invasion in the seventh century have been repeated over and over. Thousands of Armenian Christians have been forced to accept Mohammedanism at the point of the sword. Christian women without number have been carried off to the harems of Kurds and Turks. The apathy of Europe and America, so far as the governments are concerned, is almost as surprising as the cruelty of the Turks. There Is still talk of committing reforms to these murderous Turks. They will take care, unless Europe Intervenes speedily, that there shall be left no Armenians to participate in reforms." 31. M. Mnngrnnnrlan Advices. CHICAGO, Dec. 2S. M. M. Mangarsarlan has Just received letters from Amasla, Marsovan, Malatla and Araoakir describing the horrors of the massacre of the Christians In those cities. The survivors have shut themselves up In their houses, huddled together, waiting momentarily for death. "When you return to Armenia you will not be able to find even our graves," says one of the writers. "It is Incredible," says another, "that England, with ample power to stop b!oodshed and rapine, should remain indifferent." Another writes that "Armenia is the only, country that has given martyrs for religion in the nineteenth century." All the letters call on Mr. Mangasarian to use his influence to engage the practical sympathy of the American Christians for the starving victims of plunder and persecution. , Indemnity Demanded. LONDON, Dec. 28. A dispatch from Constantinople says that the United States has demanded from the Porte, the payment of a large indemnity for tho losses sustained by American missionaries In Asia Minor.

A Real Estate Mnn' Hon Has n Narrow Escape from Ilruln's Clutches. Washington Post. A young bear chained to a dog kennel on the lawn of a pretty suburban heme attracted considerable attention a few weeks ago. It was a strange ornament to the lawn, and a stranger pet to have aoout a place. Many people are still wondering what It meant, and why It was there. Tn'r u the explanation. The owner of the pretty home is a real estate man. He, with a party of friends, was camping in the Adirondacks for a few weeks this fall, to hunt. There was exciting sport one day, tho result of which was the killing of a bear. After tho killing they discovered a cub, and what to do w!',n It they could not decide. The real fstatc man, always on th alert for novelties for his two-year-old boy at home, insisted upon keeping thj ::ub. Pcforo they got home with him the little bear grew quite playful, and th iuen all became fond of him. The doting father had hopee of teaching him gentle and un-bear-Uke manners. The Joy that the small boy erprenped quite satisfied the father. The horror and indignation that the mother displayed were another feature altogether. She wa.i positive that something terrible would happen with that bear, and never missed an opportunity of expressing her opinion of his "crazlness" in bringing xt hom . All went well, however, for several weeks. The boy played with the little animal much as he would play wUh a dog. The bear showed no signs of wantm to eat any one. In fact, he wa senile as a kitten. Meanwhile the fc;; was rowM. and growing rapidly, but thoae 'ntlmattly asosclated with him did not notice It One sunny afternoon, when every one else seemed occupied Indoors, the .boy and the bear were having a fine game of ball on the lawn. Suddenly there was a piercing yell, then a distressed cry for "papa, then a fainter and a fainter one. The maid looked and ran screaming for the family. "Master Jack is being hugged by the bear." she cried, "and is crying for his , They all ran, and the child was rescued. out in anoiner minute n wuum uai a close call. ' In half an bour the bear had arrived at the butcher's shop, as that individual had wanted to buy him Jor some time. He ot him for nothing. The mere mention of a bear In the family of Master Jack seema to thrown them all Into strained relations. The real-estate man looks like a penitent, and will probably never bring home anything unusual for his. boy again. This is the same man who caught a young owl one day ln'one of his trees. He thought he would keep It for "the bov," it would amuse him . when he grew older. So he carefully tied it legs and set the owl down on the porch. At dinner he told them he had a great surprise for them, but would not hint what it was. Having finished the meal, they all adjourned to the porch to be surprised. He was,, indeed. His wife asked what It was, and he told her. "Where did you put It?" she inquired. "Set It here on the porch." "Did you clip its winss?" "No," he answered, "but I tied Its legs." They never saw the poor owl again, but he has never been allowed to forget it. AN INTRUDING OWL. Locked Vp In Its Stolen Nest by a Couple of Evicted Woodpeckers. Buffalo Express. Although the woodpecker is industrious, provide.it and peaceful, he is not to be trifled with or tyrannized over with Impunity, as the following incident will show. A companion and I, on an August day, not long since, pitched our camp at a spring on the table lands of the ridge dividing OJal from Santa Clara valley. About the spring stands a large grove of live oaks. In one of these not far from the tent door a pair of woodpeckers had, for years, no doubt, made their dwelling place. Somewhat shy of us at first, the birds in a few days paid little aN tentlon to our presence. It has frequently amused us of a sultry afternoon as we lounged upon the Buffalo robes laid on the shaded grass to observe the birds, with whose labors the warmth appeared to have little to do. We had camped there a week or ten days when, before daylight one morning, we heard a commotion about the home of our staid neighbors. Our attention was attracted by their shrill outcries and the whir of their wings among the branches overhead. It had no sooner grown light enough to see than we pushed back the flap of the tent door and peered out to ascertain the cause of disturbance. It soon became apparent that a little tecolote, or ground owl, at the approach of day had taker lodgings in the hollow occupied by the woodpeckers, to their consternation. But th return of day-brought courage to the rightful owners and they resolutely set about finding means to eject the Invader. They tried bluffing awhile about the only aperture to the hollow tree, but to little purpose other than to cause the tecolote to peck at them when they appeared to be about to thrust themselves In. At last, finding that neither threats nor entreaties were likely to be effective and resolved that If they were to be deprived of their home It would be the last of that tyrannical owl, the woodpeckers brought presently from another part of the grove an oak ball of the size of the aperture, and. driving It tightly into the hole, withdrew to another hollow tree, leaving the bird of prey hermetically sealed up. After several days, when we started to return to San Buenaventura, the ball was still In the hole and the woodpeckers, settled in their new home, were going about their business as If there had never been a tecolote. No Affidavit with This. Philadelphia Record. 1 Much to the damage of his previous rec ord as a man whose word Is as good as his oath. House Sergeant Wrilllam H. Francis, of the Ninth district, relates the following surprising Incident In proof of the fact that his dog Spartan is the cleverest rour-footed animal in the city. He says that he purchased a toy mouse, such as fakirs sell on the streets, and took It home for the edification of the dog. Spartan, however, spurned the plaything and assumed a tired expression when hia owner made the mouse run across the floor by pulling on the rubber string. Francis decided that there was no fun to be had with such a brainy dog. and tossing the moure in a corner, he left the room. Returning half an hour later, he found Spartan seated on a chair with the elastic cord held between his teeth, while the household cat pursued the mouse up and down the floor. Spartan set the toy in motion by a movement of his head, and seemed to enjoy the sport as much as a Spaniard at a bull fight.

BURIAL OF STJfiPNIAK

FINER AL OF THE NIHILIST ATTENDEl) DY MAX Y SOCIALISTS. Doom In Antarctic Explorntlon Kino Frempeh Freparlnv to Attend Britain's Asbantee "I'lcnlc." (Copyright. 1S&. by the Associated Tress.) LONDON. Dec. 2S. There was a big gathering to-day at Chlswlck of Russian and Polish exiles as well as of English sympathizers, the occasion being the funeral of Serglus Stepnlak, the celebrated Russian Nihilist, who was killed while crossing a railroad track there on Monday last. The exiles and others accompanied the body from Stepniak's house, at Chlswlck, to Waterloo railroad station, where It was placed on board a train for Woking, at which place it will be cremated. John Burns, the English labor leader, marshaled the procession from the house to the station. The procession Included Mme. Stepnlak, Vera Zassoulltch, Prince Krapotklne, Volhoffsky, Spence Watson and Kier Hardie, and a delegation from the Socialist Federation, headed by a brass band, met the body at the Waterloo railroad station. Those who took part In tho demonstration ui inspect to the deceased Nihilist gathered around a large center lamp outside the railroad station and, surrounded by red and black banners. Volhoffsky, Spence Watson, Prince Krapotklne, William Morris and a number of representative Socialists made speeches. The body was then placed on the train for conveyance to Woking Cemetery. There Is a boom In Antarctic exploring just now. In this city a syndicate has been formed to send an expedition whale and seal fishing on two steam whalers of about four hundred tons, while a smaller whaler will accompany them and take a small scientific party under the guidance of Borchgrevink, the explorer. Teary's late companion, Astrup, Is also expected to be included in the purty. which will be landed at Cape Adare or Coulman Island. From ono of these points Borchgrevink and a couple of companions will proceed inland. Deep s?a soundings will be taken and magnetic, meteorological and other observation will be made. The expedition will leave England In August next year and the scientists will remain at Cape Adare for a year, at the expiration of which time the whaling vessels will return. An almost similar expedition is being fitted out at Leith and much interesting matter ;s expected to be collected as a result of these researches. The little Ashantee "picnic" has not been entirely forgoUin In the face of the graver complications threatened in the West, and up to the present everything In connection with the British expedition being sent against King Prempeh appears to have gone well and smoothly. The main body of the expeditionary force left Cape coast to-day and the advance guard has already reached the river I'rah. The malarial fevers, which are more dreaded than the Ashantees, have not yet made themselves felt to any extent. Only a few soldiers, chiefly West Indians, have been affected and only one has died. King Prempeh has sent several temporizing messages to the British authorities, but n6 notice has been taken of them and It is generally believed that he will fight when the expedition enters the bush. Although the general opinion Is expressed In the special cable dispatches from the United States that the tariff revision bill is not likely to pass the Senate, the measure has caused quite a flutter In commercial circles. An Irish Industrial organ points out that the proposed Increase In the duty on woolens will Inevitably check the growing trade and Irish industries will suffer In consequence. Owing to the great measure of Interest excited in Irish goods In the United States by the exhibits- made at the world's fair, large orders have been placed with the mills and hand-loom weavers in remote districts of Donegal. All this development of industry will be stifled If the tariff revision bill is adopted. Parliament will be asked, when It reassembles, to vote a special pension of 1,000 ($5,000) yearly to the Duke of Cambridge, late commander-in-chief of the forces. As colonel of the Grenadier Guards, the Duke draws 111.000, which is held to be an inadequate sum in view, of his length of service. - Speech by the 3Ilkado. YOKOHAMA, Dec. 28. The Japanese Parllamsat was opened to-day with the imperial speech. His Majesty said he was rejoiced at the end of the war with China, that order had been established in the island of Formosa and that the relations between Japan and foreign powers were more intimate than formerly. Continuing, his Majesty said that the Japanesa empire had already achieved striking progress in civilization, but. he added, that it had a long and arduous task before it. Measures would be introduced, he said, in conclusion to increase the defenses of the country. Narrow Escape of n Trlncess. BERLIN, Deo. 27.

Ml ' 'mm TOBACCO No Chemicnls PUREST and EJECT No Nerves, Qiukino No Heart Paltitatjno No Dyspeptic Ach:ni BALLET IN TROUBLE IIAGGACiB OF HAIIIIY W. SKMOVf VARIETY COMPANY ATTACHED. All Trunks nnd Costumes In Constable Hands Marlon nnd I'nlon City on the Company lloute. .i The Harry W. Semons Extravaganza Company gave a very racy performance at the Empire Theater lat vck. It wns noised abroad that a "hot show" was be ing given anJ last n'.Rht a bis crowd of men ani boys assembled to witness tho performance, but they were near being disappointed, as ten minutes before the curtain went up it was extremely doubtful whether a performance would be given. After the matinee yesterday constables from Magistrate Lockman's court levied attachment upon the baggage of the entire company. The dressing rooms were locked ani arrangements were about to be made for ths seizure of the trunks, when William V. Lowry, the attorney who represented the creditors, agreed that the performance might be given and differences settled afterward. ' ',. The trouble that terminated In the attachment here began In Louisville, wher the company played several, wetks ago. It seems the members of the company boarded at Walter B. Grubb's hottl-the Waverly. At the end of the week the company departed, without settling board and bar bills. The next stand was made at .Cincinnati. Grubb's held that the Individual members of the company were liable and sent accounts to an attorney at Cincinnati, who had writs of attachment issuel. constables levied on the baggage, but permitted tho performance to proceed. When the curtain went down, the story goes, the ballet girli went to their dressing rooms and put their street dresses on over their stage costumei and walked out. To their chagrin the con stables found nothing but empty trunks. Upon reaching tills city, members of the company got wind of the fact that the box receipts would be garnished to pay a claim of owed by Manager Semons to one Itedmund. A consultation was held and they decided to refuse to perform unless some arrangement was made that would assure the payment of salaries. Attorneys Hawkins &. Smith were consulted and they advised the company to select one of their number to act as trustee for the purpose of Collecting and paying salaries. This suggestion was followed, the company agreeing upon the appointment of James. E. Black as trustee. An agreement of assignment was drawn up and signed by Semens, ne agreeing to retire temporarily from the management of the company. In order to make the assignment binding, Mr. Smith went to the managers of the Empire Theater and secured from them an agreement to recognize it. It seema demons was four weeks in arrears with the performers. Black collected the portion of tie box receipts that would have been due demons under his contract,, and made nightly settlements with the members of the company. He said last night that, with the exception of about l due himself, and other large sums due the specialty performers, this week's receipts were sufficient to pay all salaries due up to last Wednesday. Salaries fcr the present week are not due until next Wednesday. He said the ballet girls were not left entirely without money, as they had received about four weeks pay during their stay here. Considerable excitement was noticeable behind the scenes during the performance, but the ballet girls seemed to- be unconcerned. One of them, wearing tights and butterfly wings, aid she was "dead broke." Some one suggested she didn't seem to mind It much. "What's tho useT she replied. "There Is always some way to get on." With a toss of her head h bounded off into the wings, and an instant after was whisked away by the wires in the airy movements of the butterfly ballet. When the curtain went down constables followed the girls about the stage, trying to read the writs to them. One man was stationed at the stage door, and refused to permit any one to leave without submitting to a rigid 1 search for concealed valuables and superfluous garments. One girl approached the constable wearing a heavycoat and carrying a cape In her hands. He thought she was trying to smuggle a girment that did not belong to her from the theater. She Insisted the cape was hers, but admitted the coat she wore belongrl to another girt The constables were about to attempt ta remove the garment from her shoulders, when attorney mlth interfered. He warned the constables to be careful about taking anything from her person. After considerable controversy the girl left the theater without giving up the coat. Attorney Smith said the attachment would not hold, as the debt for board was contracted by Semons himself, and the members of the company could not be held Individually liable. He made the further point that the constables were unible to Identify the trunks as belonging to any particular person, and would be unable to make a re:urn on the writs. He and attorney Lowry haggled over law points amidst an interested crowd of ballet girls and specialty performers, who were uncertain as to what course they ought to pursue. After prvW ws had u;on all they were finally allowed to go. In auduio. to the attachments on the lxulvllle board bills, constables from Magistrate Johnston's court were attempting to find something tangible upon which they could sleze, in order to make gocd an account of some PV) due the proprietor of the Hotel English for board furnished curing the company's present engagement. His constables attempted to garnishee the box receipts, but under the assignment to Black, as trustee, the money could not b touched. Magistrate Lockman's constables also made an attempt to get the box receipts toVettle a printing bill of J10.M . due the Sentinel Printing Company. Some of the specialty performers and ballet girls expresed great surprise Lat night when the attachments were made, claiming Semons had retained money from their salaries, rtatlri? he had iald board bills at Louisville. There were 11 f teen separate accounts for board, cigars and liquors, ranging' from $7 to $2$ each, and aggregating about 50. Finding protestations wero useless, the ballet girls and other members of the company left the theater, the constable remaining In po?sesslon of the baggage. Aftjt they had left the trunks were loaded on a wagon and hauled to Magistrate Lockman's court, where they will be hell until it Is decided whether the attachment will hold. If judgment is rendered for the plaintiffs, unless the accounts are setttca, the stuff will be sold at auction, when a choice collection of tights ant other theatrical garments will be offered for sale to the highest bidder. The hearing Is set for Thursday morning. Manager Semons raid last night that ths company was by no means broke and would proceed to-day. He said transportation had already been procured and exhibited tickets, lie refused to give the route ahead, saying he did not want It known, as he was afraid the attachments would follow him, to the next stand. From another source, however, it was learnel the next stand was to be made at Union City, where the comany would remain one night, after vhteh, t would go to Bellefontalne. O.. and from there back to Clarion, Ind., where It 13 booked to play Wednesday nlUU
