RIOT AND BLOODSHED.

Constantinople the Scene of Many

Wild Deeds.

The Armenians angl Turkish Police Have a Eierce Encounter—Hundreds of Christians Penned Up, and + Many Others Killed.

WasHINGTON, Oct. 4.—Secretary Olney late Wednesday afternoon received the following dispatch from Minister Terrell: . : _

“CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 2.—Monday several hundred Armenians marched on the porte. professedly to ask redress for grievances. The patriarch tried to prevent it. ‘A conflict occurred between the Armenians and the police. Probably about sixty Turks and Armenians were killed, and among others a Turkish majior; Many were wounded. The Armenians carried pistols. Tuesday several more were killed. Tuesday night there were eighty killed. Several hundred have been imprisoned. The porte had notice of the demonstration, which, it sald, was organized by leaders of the Hunchagist revolutionists, whom they have captured. Much terror exists. I think the porte will be able to restrain fanaticism." i

CONSTANTINO!LLE, Oct. 4.—Five hundred arrests have been made.ic connection with the recent rioting of Armenians here. The government is greatly alarmed, and the garrison is kept under arms. During the rioting Monday and Tuesday nearly 200 persons were killed.

Trouble among the Armenians of this city has been brewing for a long time past, the bitter feeling against the muthorities growing stronger as week after week passes without the adoption by the Turkish government of the scheme for reform in Armenia proposed by the representatives of the powers. The long-smoldering flames of discontent, carefully fanned by the Armenian agitators, have at last broken out. ; :

LoxpoN, Oct. s.—The Constantinople correspondent oi the Standard, under date of Wednesday, telegraphs to his paper: The Armenian patriarch was on Tuesday invited to attend the porte. but he declined because none of his followers were allowed to accompany him. He remained at the patriarchate shut up with several hundred armed Armenians. ' 1

Reviewing the incident. it :appears that the police generally were not supplied with ball cartridges. They were instructed to use the flats of their swords and the Dbutts ~of their rifles. “~Such provocation as - they gave in the first instance was verbal. The Armenians fired first. With the exception of the massacre of the prisers the most violence was committed by the Softas and the . lowest class of Moslems, none of whom however, appear to have been arrested or otherwise checked. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 7.—The result of the conference held by the foreign diplomats here to consider the situation arising from the rioting on Monday and Tuesday, was that the Dragomans of the- several embassies and legations were directed to protest to the foreign minister against the excesses of the police and equally against the barbarity of the Mussulman mob in regard to the arrested and wounded Armenians, several of whom were beaten to death with bludgeons, while others were cruelly mutilated. The- Dragomans weve also directed to call the porte’s serious attention to the whole affair and to beg the foreign minister to see that wmeasures were adopted to prevent foreigne?rs from suffering and to restore order. Hon. A. W. Terrell, the minister of the United States, made a special re-. quest that measures be adopted for the safety of the American missionaries in the Koumkapou quarter. His representations had the desired effect.

The city is quiet. It is evident that the government has taken every precaution °to prevent any further disorder, and to quell any rioting should it occur iln spite of the , measures adopted to prevent it. One of the precautions taken was the posting of guards around the Turkish quarters to prevent the inhabitants from leaving them in order to go to those parts of the city occupied by Armeniuns. .Late Friday afternoon the police were withdrawn from the patriarchate and other churches and kahns in which Armenians had taken refuge, and all those who had sought safety in these structures were invited to return peaceably to their homes.: Some took advantage of the invitation, but others, fearing treachery, determined to remain where they were until such time as the popular excitement had further abated. ?

.+ The Soltas were guilty of great excesses on Tuesday, and especially during the raid on the Armenian quarter, which they made at night. At Tookurtchesme, near Stamboul, the students and populace broke into an Armenian building, killed fifteen persons and wounded thirty-five others. In addition, it is said that they conveyed the wo[‘unded to the shore and threw them into the sea. Itis learped frome a reliable source that more than 1,000 Armenians have been arrested and cast into prison on the charge of having been actively concerned in the rioting or having instigated the trouble. During the rioting on Tuesday crowds of Mohammedans took advantage of the great excitement to loot many Armenian shops and offices. Their spoil is reported to have been quite valuable.

FALL TRADE.

Indications Warrant the Most Hopeful Antieipations.

NEw YORE, Oct. 7.—Bradstreet’s says of the trade situation: .

“Seasonable weather has stimulated sales of merchandise and increased the prospects of a favorable fall trade generally. Among the less favorable features are a modorate demand in staple lines on the Pacific coast, a reaction in the volume of business at Baltimore, and the check to the advance in prices of iron and steel, with a reaction of about one dollar per ton at Ohio valley and Pennsylvania cen= ters. 2 .

“In a letter to the editor of Bradstreet's, concerning ‘the national finances,” Hon , Worthington C. Ford. chief of the bureau of statistics. treasury department, states the reasons ‘why, in his opinion, there will be. no deficlt in the national Trevenues during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896. His estimates of the revenues for the current year is $190,000,000 from customs. $85,000,000 from taxes on distilled spirits, $60,000.000 from tobacco and fermented liquors and £16,000.000 from other sources, or a total of £351.000.000, which, it is declared, ‘will be sufficient to cover the normal expenditures of the government.’ 4 “September bank clearing reflect the spread of favorable trade conditions, but more especially where trade has been backward. Total clearings at silxty-one cities for September -aggregate §4,132.855,558, a gain over August of about six-tenths of Iper cent.; over September, 1893 (panic year), of 26 per cent. Compared with 1892the decrease is 13 per cent. Gains are heaviest in the eastern and middle states and are larger in the western,southwestern and northwestern states than in August. Among seventy-nine cities, comparing with September last year, only one-quarter show decreases. Compared with September, 1893, only seven cities show losses. The heaviest gain shown by any large city over September last year is at Cleveiand, 84 per cent., but New York, Minneapolis, Buftaio, Columbus, Boston, Pittsburgh, New Orleans and St - Louis all show heavy gains. **Chicago sales c¢f dry goods, clothing and shoes are larger than last week, and at St Louis the September volume of trade is the heaviest since 1892. Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Paul and Duluth are conspicuous for activie ty in trade circles. Duluth’s population {s now nearly €O,OOO, compared with 33,000 five years ago. Demand for lake freights is active, and rates are tending up.. New Orleans reports large freight room engagements for December and January to load grain, and on the Pacitic coast Seattle announces it will export about 1,000,000 bushels of wheat this season,”
