TERRIBLE EVIDENCES OF ARMENIAN MASSACRES. Commissioners of the Great Powers Discover and Kxamine the Fitä Into "Which the IJodics of Scores of Victims Und Been Thrown. Butchered and Hurucd. ' The commission which has been investigating the atrocities in Armenia traversed the devastated villages and arrived ut Jellygoozan. where 110 houses were found to have been burned. The people were sheltered in miserable huts. Ample proof was found of the truth of the stories told regarding the massacre of Armenians ami the fact that their bodies were thrown in large numbers into a pit. where the Turks endeavored to conceal their crime by pouring barrels of petroleum upon the bodies end setting fire to the oil. The flames, however, failed to consume the mass and a stream was dammed and diverted from its course in order to wash away the halfturned bodies. Hut even this failed to obliterate the terrible evidence against the Turks, and the local authorities were comiK'lled to remove the remains piecemeal. The villagers had removed the bulk of the bodies and interred them in consecrated ground before the arrival of the commission at Jcllygoozan. Lake leashed to Fury. Lake Michigan unleashed itself Monday night in one of the worst storms known for years, and only most fortunate circumstances prevented a repetition of the series of wrecks and disasters that occurred May IS, ISiM. The list of boats lost is a large one. and in all thirteen lives are known to have been sacrificed. The shipping list follows: Quickstip, wrecked off Racine; Willard, from Alpena; J. 1$. Kitchen, wrecked at Middle Island; Viking. driven aground v.ith three consorts at Sand Beach, Mich.; unknown steam barge, ashore six miles north of Sand Beach; steamer Unique, wrecked -it St. Clair; three schooners, wrecked off East Tawas, Mich.; schooner Reindeer, reported stranded at Black River; unknown schooner, wrecked off Itacinc: three-masted schooner, wrecked near Milwaukee Kx plosion un' Fire. At Sleepy Eye, Minn., shortly after midnight Tuesday, an explosion occurred in the new $'.M,O00 school building, and in tin instant the structure was in flames from foundation to tower. In the b -Wimen t was the village electric plant. Tho loss was .TJ.ÖOO; insurance. JSSLTim. rlbe cause of the explosion is a mystery. The engineer left sixty pounds of steam on at 11:4.", and a quantity of coal had just been stored in the basement. Four hundred ami fifty pupils attend the school. BREVITIES. Pressure is being brought to bear on the Dominion Government to take steps to prevent, if possible, the construction by Americans of a waterway from Lake Michigan to the Ohio river. In the House of Commons (Seorge Cockburn, member for Toronto, asked the Government to act with the Chambers of Commerce in Cleveland and other American cities in protecting the interests of the lake cities. .lohn Haggart, minister of railways and canals, stated -in reply that the Government would protect Canadian interests in every way possible, and would communicate with the United States Secretary of War on the subject. The syndicate of capitalists living in Haverhill, Mass.. who bought the Hood Hope mine, near Riverside, Cal., nearly a year ago for $250,000, have come to the conclusion that they have paid too mach for the property. They now desire the court to aid them in throwing off $l0O,i00 from the purchase price. Tin: Eastern men claim that when they bought the property they were duped outrageously by ssenus of the old device of "salting." An effort is to be made to organize a district of the Knights of Labor in Portugal. A. K. Swasey, of Galveston. Texas, who is now on his way to that country on private business, has taken with him an organizer's commission and proposes to make an effort to induce the wage workers of Spain and Portugal to interest themselves in the order. Bishop (Julstan Roperts has arrived in San Francisco from Honolulu, en route to Home, where he is going to induce the pope to send more missionaries to the Hawaiian Islands to care for the lepers. He will also visit France on a similar mission. He says 1,200 lepers are on the island. Rudolph Schnaubelt, accused of throwing the bonib at the llaymarket riot May 4, 1SJS0, has, according to a San Francises paper, ln-en sending n year at Vallcjo. Cal. He disappeared a few days ago and it is said is now on his way to Brazil. The report of another outbreak of cholera at Mecca is confirmed from official source. Cholera prevails at Mecca and in the villages frequented by the caravans of pilgrims in El llejaz, "the land of pilgrimage." A Tacoma, Wash., dispatch says: Facts have come to light which indicate that the late Paul Schultze's defalcations amount to nearly $500,000, making his total embezzlement the largest ever known on the Pacific coast. George Culp, who celebrated his SOfh birthday at Goshen, Ind., is the father of ten children, grandfather of 105 and greatgrandfather of RH. Capt. .7. W. Morris has started from San Francisco on a tour around the world iu a boat forty-live feet in length. The German Government met with another defeat, when the reichstag rejected the whole of the proposed tobacco tax bill. Spanish (Jeneral Salecdo is rejortnl to have been killed in a battle with Cuban rebels. The insurgents claim t ttrtt the Spanish loss, killed, wounded and missing, was over one thousand. The Tammany Society of New York h:is elected ex-Recorder Frederick Smyth gr.tnd sachem. J. Edward Addicks has been elected president of all the gas companies comprising the Ray State combination.

EASTERN. Angast Teffcr, married, shot and killed Clara Ilerbold. aged 20, and then killed himself at Philadelphia, Pa. She would not elope with him. Manuel Fuentes, the New York World correspondent, has been ordered released by the Cuban authorities on condition that he leaves the island. It is reported at Xew York that the Pullman company, in order to escape-hostile legislation in Illinois, will incorporate under New Jersey laws. The Senate at Albany has defeated the New York police reorganization bill. This action is said to be the result of a deal by which the "Greater New York" bill is also to be killed. Dr. Buchanan, whose execution has been twice deferred, may remain at Sing Sing some time longer. His attorney claims that he is legally dead and cannot be electrocuted, the time set for his execution having passed. The Pennsylvania Commission Company, one of the largest bucket shops in Pittsburg, suspended. The proprietors, Spunler & Fraz'ur. give as a reason for quitting business the rapid and continued rise in all the speculative markets. On the western division of the Erie three miles west of Ilomcllsvillc, X. Y., at an eariy hour Sunday morning, a fast freight was thrown in the ditch by a broken wheel and" ten cars were piled up in a confused heap. Three men were killed and two hurt. Eleven horses also were killed. A special meeting of the executive committee of the Xewsdealers, Booksellers aiW Stationers National Association was held in New York for the purpose of formulating a plan to protect booksellers of the United States against attacks by department store keepers in regard to the cutting of prices in books. Two sons of Ralph Agnew. of Reaver Falls, Pa., having a burning desire to become contortionists and perform in a circus, set about making their little frames supple. Sonro one told them if they drank a concoction prepared by boiling angle worms, they 'might tie themselves in compact knots or stretch out even as does the worm. They gathered a tomato can full of worms, boiled them over a bonfire and drank the resulting elixir. They have taken on the form of a knot most of the time. The doctor says they nearly died from poisoning, but now they are out of danger and have given up the circus idea.

WESTERN. The lockout of union painters at Indianapolis has ended, the men having accepted the terms offered by the bosses. Through the death of Mrs. Lewis, of Coldwater, Mich., the magnificent $300,(KKJ art collection of her late husband, Henry C. Lewis, is now at the disposal of the University of Michigan. The east-bound freight No. 121 on the Lake Erie and Western was wrecked one mile west of Celina, Ohio. 'Ten cars were smashed into splinters. Two men were instantly killed and two seriously hurt. Farmers in the extreme western part of Nebraska report chinch bugs in rye and bailey fields to an alarming extent. Their presence is most marked in those sections where no heavy rains have recently fallen. Thursday was the hottest May day which Chi. -ago has ever seen. The temperature ranged from To degrees in the morning to IM) degrees at 4 in the afternoon. One case of sunstroke was reported. Two masked road agents caught a stage load of San Franciscans on their way to the summer resorts of Lake County and stripped them of their valuables. The robbers secured about $1.300 from the passengers and looted the Wells-Fargo treasure box. The mystery of the disappearance of Charles S. Smith, bookkeeper for MeGlaughlin & Co., of San Francisco, who engineered the late Senator Fair's $3,000,000 wheat deal, is clearing and the firm now asserts that the young bookkeeper is an embezzler. Suit has been begun against Pit.dent Joseph W. Reinhardt, of the Santa Fe Railroad, by Mrs. Matilda Wallace, of Philadelphia, for $50.000 damages. She charges that Reinhardt falsified the company's statements, thereby misleading her as to the value of its securities. Newton Rlagg, a farmer residing near Chatteroy, Wash, came home just iu time to save his 2-year-old child from a horrible death. His wife, driven insane through religious frenzy, had built an altar in the woods near the house, upon which she had secured the babe, preparatory to roasting it alive. Four men killed and two injured is the result of the explosion in mine No. 10 of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, at Sopris, Colo., Friday morning. Foul gases ignited from a miner's lamp. The company never had any rejort of gas in any of the mines in the district, and therefore never adopted any precautionary measures. Dr. J. I. Robinson, who performed the first amputation in the war of the rebellion, died at Wooster. Ohio, Friday evening. The fact that Dr. Rohisou was entitled to the distinction was recognized by the (loverntncnt. The operation was performed upon James E. Hanger, a Confederate soldier, who was wounded at the battle of Phillippi, W. Va. Ir. Robison served through the Mexican war as a surgeon, and during the war of the rebellion established half a dozen hospitals, at one time having charge of the national hospital in the Patent Oflice at Washington, I). C He was burn iu Wooster April 23, 1S20. The loss of the Cayuga caused a good deal of consternation nmong lake underwriters in Chicago. Following so closely on the heels of a large number of heavy losses the sinking of the Cayuga and the probable loss of the entire cargo was a severe blow to the insurance business. Among the practical marine men it was believed the steamer could ultimately be got afloat again, but it was thought the expense would amount to nearly all it was worth. The work must be done with pontoons, and will be a long, tedious job sit best. If the Hurd was at fault for the collision the Lehigh Valley line will not get much out of it. Tin' total loss on the Cayuga and cargo is about $3oo.Oi M(. Thv liability of the Lake Superior line is limited to what I he Herd is worth after the collision, which may be K5.000 or $0,000. April 23 a strangei giving the nani of L. C. Rogers rented a box in the Stillwater, Minn., post ofhV. He commenced sending iostal orders to various business houses in St. Paul and Minneapolis, the amounts being usually $10. He sent one to Dunham & Eastman without gtutounc-

ing what it was for, and next day wrote them it was a mistake, asking them to send a check for the amount, which they did. He raised this check to $(J4Ö and got the money from the Northwestern National Rank, Minneapolis. He also forged the firm's name on the back. Next day he presented another forged check for $!.", purporting to be from Dunham & Eastman, receiving the money. He tried the Security Rank next day for 800, and when payment was refused the fellow vanished. The last time he gave hia uarne as Coyne. Three highwaymen made a desperate effort shortly before 1 o'clock Thursday morning to rob John W. Moore, hardwaio dealer, No. CCD West Madison street, Chicago. For ten minutes he fought them and so vigorously that although they stabbed him three times he beat them off before they succeeded in robbing him. One thrust of the dagger just missed his heart by a sixteenth of an inch. At the County Hospital it was said that the wounds, though serious, are not necessarily fatal. Mr. Mooro was passing Lake and May streets while on his waj home to -44 South May street, when three men tried to "pocket" him, one on each side and the other iu the rear. He started to run, but was tripped and fell. Refore the robbers could take advautage of this he was on his feet. A straight "left" sent one of them to the ground, but the others closed in on him and pinioned his arms. Then the third man tried to seize his watch. Moore struggled so violently that they could not secure possession of it, and again the plucky merchant was knocked down. This time he did not try to get up. He drew a revolver from his pocket and fired twice. The shooting attracted a number of pedestrians. Two of the highwaymen ran away. The third drew a dagger from under his coat and stabbed Moore three times in the right arm, in the right shoulder and in the chest. Wilh the pedestrians came half a dozen policemen. They gave chase, tut failed to catch the fleeing desperadoes.

SOUTHERN. The Louisville city court has declined to hold Fulton Gordon, who killed his wife and Archie ltrown. Mrs. I ley ward II. McAllister, wife of the son of the late Ward McAllister, has filed a suit for absolute divorce at Savannah, (Ja., on the ground of desertion. The sensation attending the Cordon double killing is not over yet by half, says a Louisville dispatch. The prosecution will attempt to prove that Arch Dixon Rrown's death was due to a deep-laid plot to assassinate him; a trap, as the prosecution believes, fostered and planned by one who, for reasons best known to himself, was afraid to do the work and used Cordon as the tool to carry out his designs. These statements come directly from the prosecution. James A. Scott, the Frankfort attorney employed by Gov. Rrown to prosecute the case, said: "Gov. Rrown is now firmly convinced that a well-planned trap was laid for his son and that information was furnished of his coming by some one in Frankfort to another man in Louisville, who, for some motive, advised and actively assisted in what Gov. Rrown considers a foul assassination." W A S HINGTON. Col. O. M. Poe, Maj. Ernest II. Ruffncr and Capt. William L. Marshall, of the engineer department, have been appointed a commission to report upon the effect of the opening of the Chicago drainage canal on the lake and harbor levels. Washington dispatch: Comptroller Eckels reports a healthy improvement in business in all quarters, a condition that is reflected in his advices from the banking interests in every State in the Union. Evidences of revived activities are not confined to any line of business or any dozen or twenty lines. They are general and far-reaching, as reflected in the demands for banking accommodations. Tens of thousands of men who have been lying low during the period of depression are coming out of retirement ready and anxious to embark in new enterprises or extend themselves in fields already occupied in perfunctory, half-alive fashion. The inquiry for funds is especially active from manufacturing interests, thi:a confirming what has been said about J general revival in the industries a declaration that is often received with open skepticism, but which, nevertheless. h3 substantial foundation in facts. Merchants are preparing to spend monev in enlarging their trade and in increasing their facilities in every way. Construction projects that have been held in abeyance for a couple of years are being dragged into light. före7gnT A dispatch from Shanghai 6ays the Chinese emperor has written to the czar and President Faure asking for financial assistance to meet the war expenses, and promising to grant special commercial advantages to Russia and France in return therefor. A dispatch from St. Petersburg spates that up to Sunday it was believed that Japan would refuse to give up Port Arthur. Orders were given to mobilize llO,(MK) troops in the Irkutsk and Tomsk districts and a credit of 1Hkm),(H0 roubles was opened. It was in view of this attitude of Russia that Japan immediately yielded to the demands made by Russia, France and Germany. The end of the Cuban war is at hand. The rumor is confirmed in all well-informed circles. The chiefs of the insurgents have abandoned their cause in despair. Capt. Gen. Martinez Campos has ordered that the work on the iort of Santiago be begun at once. Railways and telegraph lines are to be built, rebuilt and improved, through Man.anillo, Rayamo, Puerto Principe, Santa Cruz, San Luis ami Soriano. The republic of Rrazil is having an experience in finance innen like that of the United Stales. Senor Mendonea. the Rraziliati minister in Washington, has received copies of the recent decree for an internal loan of RiO.om.tHHJ con toes, or .." U hum H0. Part of this was taken by the people, in the form of a iopular loan, much as Senator Sherman urged as the most dtvirablo manner of floating bonds. Of this $!0,tHNMKH was at once used in redeeming paper money, and ?ir,000,K.H) more will ho used for the same purpose. The important feature of this step is that Rrazil lias begun to strengthen her gold reserve ami reduce her paper money, with a view to bringing her two forms of currency gold and paper to an equality. It will not be bimetallism, ns Rrazil has lit lie silver except for subsidiary coin, but it will inaugurate the unique system of gold nnd paper circulating side hj side on an equality. A dispatch from Managua, Nicaragua, says: There is no longer any doubt that

Great Britain will receive her smart money on time. The 10.000 to be paid by Nicaragua to Great Rritain has been raised by popular donations. Three German mercantile firms have given about '2,000, and the whole amount will be ready to be paid in London in a few days. The raising of the money, however, has only increased popular feeling in Nicaragua against Great Rritain, and the feeling is now very bitter indeed, more so, if possible, than when the British landed at Corinto. The general opinion seems to be that the Central American republics will form a combination, possioly secret, against Great Britain, and that everything possible will be done to exclude British goods from Central America. This feeling will probably result in commercial gain to the United States. There ia no doubt, however, that the action of thq three German firms in subscribing so liberally to the indemnity fund will prove a good stroke of business to them. I N GENERAL The Manitoba Legislature has adjourned until June Rl in order to allow the Canadian Government to act on the school question. During the last year the American Rible Society issued 1..TS1.PJS Bibles and Testaments, of which TI'.ö.'J'-'l were circulated in foreign lands. Obituary: At Colorado Springs, Prof. Newton S. Fuller, of Itipon. Wis.. College, r.O. At Fort Wayne, ex-Congressman A. II. Hamilton, 01. British Columbia canners have petitioned the Canadian Government to place salmon on the free list, to enable them to meet American competition. Antonio Bern and Louis Budinich, two Hungarian students, who are walking from Buenos Ayres to Chicago, have reached Piedmont, Mo. They have traveled 10,005 miles on foot since Aug. 7, 1S92. The Amalgamated Association of Tin, Iron nnd Steel Workers and the Merchant Bar-Iron Manufacturers' National Association have entered into a combination to secure for the iron workers of the country better rates of wages and for the manufacturers fair competitive conditions against the mill operators of the Pittsburg district, who have been working their employes at low wages. Between 2 o'clock Friday afternoon and 0 o'clock Saturday morning the temperature in Chicago fell 4'.l degrees. The highest temperature of Friday was SO degrees. One man was prostrated by the heat. The fall in temperature of IV2 degrees in twelve hours at Fort Robinson, Neb., brought on a snowstorm Friday morning, which lasted half an hour and made the hillside white. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "The event of the week is the demoralization of foreign exchange. cau.-ed by enormous sales of bonds abroad. Resides a sale of $lu.fNN).fNN) Manhattan and other railroad bonds through the syndicate large purchases on foreign account have been made fo- some weeks, so that the aggregate probably exceeds $."0. M M),(mm since the sale of governments. Safety for the summer means much for all business, and the syndicate deems it so fully assured that it distributes -10 per cent, of the money advanced by its associates, which relieves a large amount to stimulate operations in securities and products. Crop prospects also have greatly improved ami tlws is of still higher importance, as it will do much to determine the character and volume of all business after summer uncertainties are over. In addition business is reviving, although the gain in great industries is retarded by many strikes.''

WOMEN'S NEW BIBLE.

RUMOR BISTURES THE THEOLOGICAL WORLD. Many States SufTer from the Cold Wave-Nebraska Farmers Now Able to Help Themselves Gen. Harrison to Ketirc from the Law. Tlic New Woman' Sensation. The theological world is thoroughly stirred by the announcement that Elizabeth Cady Stanton ami nearly a score of colaborers, in the persons of distinguished women, will undertake a revision of those portions of the scriptures 1 aling directly or indirect Iy with the relative positions of man and woman, ami will publish the results of their labors in a new Bible, whi-h is to he known as "The Woman's Bible." Mrs. Stanton has declared that the greatest obstacle which has retarded the advance of woman's cause is the inferior itosition accorded her in the scriptures as now translated, and that she can attain the full measure of her self-respect and equality with man in which (Jod created her only when the Hilde is correctly retranslated. This work, she holds, should be done by women, as man has. in every translation, deelined to do her justice. Damage by Frost. The cold snap of Monday night was one cf the most general ever experience! at this lime of year, extending as it does from N bra ska to the Atlantic coast. The aggregate damage to crops and fruit will be enormous. The grape-growing section of New York Stat.e was one f th. heaviest pufferers. the injury to that interest alone being estimated by one of the lirget growers at S' . o: I. Snow fell in Wisconsin at several points, which report killing frosts and much damage. Michigan practically was under snow, nearly every dispatch received reporting a more er less severe fall. Crops and fruit wer' considerably damaged in many places. The peach belt may not have been so hard hit. Indiana got a touch of the snowstorm, several places reporting light Hurries. From Iowa comes a story of damage to fruit about Boone which amounts to total destruction. Potatoes and grapes were destroyed in Greene. Calhoun. Carroll and Guthrie Counties. Many other places send similar reports. In Ohio, throughout the central portion, vegetables were killed, and fruits met a like fate in the northern part of the State. Damage to wheat and corn is v'. believed to have been great. Corn, fruit and garden vegetation sustained considerable damage in Minnesota, but the main crops were not affected except in a few inMauces. Garden stuff and fruit in t!i' nor-. kern tier of counties in Missouri were :i"pped. but the damage in other parts of the State was inconsiderable. Nebraska Requires No More Aid. Gov. lloictiub Friday authorized the following statement: 1 have been advised by the State relief committee that the wants of the people i;i the drought stricken portions of Nebraska have been supplied to si'.ch an extent that fürt her contributions from source.-. tu!:de of the State are r.ntx'ccssary. and there remains in the hands of the treasurer of she commission suliicicut funds to care for any isolated cases which way arise. In making this announcement 1 desire :;cknowledge on the part of the people our gratitude for the evidences of kindly interest which have come fr en almost every State in the Tniou in the form of generous donations to relieve the distress of our unfortunate drought s'ilTerers. and io the railroads and express companies which have transported these contributions in many instances free of charge.

A number of Baltimore musicians and clergymen were present at the test of a chime of bells which has just been completed for St. .lames' Catholic Church. Chicago. There are twenty bells in the chimes, the largest of which weighs 1.15U pounds and the smallest 15o. Their total weight is 40.0OO pounds. It is the largest musical chime of bells ever cast in this country. The Morrison will case went to the jury at Richmond. Ind., immediately after the close of ex-President Harrison's speech Friday afternoon. The court room was packed to hear Harrison speak, and hundreds were denied admission. It in pronouaced one of the great efforts of his life. It is ollicially announced this i the last speech he will ever make to a jury, having determined to retire from the practice of law. The Bank of Montreal has shipped $100.000 in gold to its branch in St. John's, N. F.. by the steamer Bonavista. State Senator Peter R. Morrissey was shot and instantly killed at St. Ixuiis by Maud Lewis. The woman has been mentally unbalanced, according to the statements of her neighbors, and is supposed to hate been insane at the time.

John Flood, cx-cnihier of the defunct Kelly Bank at San Francisco, accused of embezzling $107,tXH), has been sentenced to seven years' imprisonment.

RECALL OF THURSTON.

Hawaiian Government Finally Re Ceives that Much-Talkcd-ef Missive. Hawaiian advices from Honolulu say hthat the letter demanding the retail of Minister Thurston is there and has been read to the executive session of the councils. It had Leon to Ilong Kons. It went past Honolulu in a bag with others. The fault lies with the post office at San Francisco. The ground of the objection to Thurston is confined to a single trans action. The offense alleged is that Thurston, at the legation, showed to reporters private letters to himself from Honolulu. Gresham spoke to the Hawaiian minister about the matter. Thurston said that ho' regretted it very much: that in the hurry of handling a big mail he had shown this letter with others without any special intent. Secretary Gresham thereuioii asked that the aioogy he submitted in writing. Thurston declined to do this. Grcsham's letter is dated Feb. '21 last, and states that Thurston is no longer personally acceptable to the administration at Washington as Hawaiian minister. It is definitely settled that Thurston will not return to Washington. He has resigned, his resignation to take effect when his successor has been appointed.
