A Washington dispatch says: Armenian students will hereafter lind the United States has stretched out its strong hand to protect them against the attacks of the Turks. The American representative at Constantinople, Alexander W. Terrell. Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, has suddenly been given a lively boost from Washington, and as a result telegraphed the State Department Wednesday he would demand of th Turkish Government full protection for the missionaries and students. This was due to the determined stand taken by the Rev. Thomas D. Christi-, President of the St. Paul's School at Tarsus. Dr. ChristK complained to the State Department of the indifference of Minister Terrell to the outrages on tho Armenians. As a preliminary step came the recall of Admiral Kirkland. who had criticised missions and missionaries in an unfriendly manner. Minister Terrell was sent a sharp reprimand as well, and instructed to give instant attention to the i-omplaints of the missionaries and follow this with a threatening protest to the Porte against the continuation of the outrages. It is understood that finally Minister Terrell was given to understand if he did not take vigorous action at ouco his resignation would U accepted by cable. Minister Terrell's relations with the department are btralued, and it would not be surprising to hear of his recall or resignation.

Prince Ferdinand is a strong Roman Catholic, like his mother. Princess Clementine, of the Orleanist house, and his wife, Djichess of Parma; but in this instance he hns allowed his political ambition to get the best of his religious sentiments. This uiov uu the part of the Bulgarian prince will do much to secure his recognition by lluwiia, and heme by the other European powers, as the legitimate sovereign of Bulgaria, of which principality he has hitherto been merely the de facto ruler.

R. G. Dun & Co-'s Weekly Review f Trade says: "The rapid recovery in cotton, and the rise in sterling exchange to the point at which the last exports of gold were made, have not increased confidence. There is a little better demand for most manufacturing products, and retail distribution is fairly encouraging and the closing of many works is less significant at this season than it might be at others. It is a time of waiting, and um-ertainty may naturally continue for some weeks." MARKET REPORTS.

IT WAS A LANDSLIDE.

REPUBLICAN VICTORY UNIVERSAL. NEARLY New York, Iowa, Ohio, Maryland Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Nebraska. Kansas, and New Jersey Go with the Surging Tide. Results of the Election. Returns from the twelve Statesand one territory in which elections were held Tuesday carry no encouragement to Democrats. It was a Republican landslide of the most neecntuated type. In only two States of the twelve has the Democracy surely triumphed Mississippi and Kentucky. Everything else is Republican. Een Maryland has turned and joined the victors. New York. Iowa. Ohio, Illinois. Massachusetts. Nebraska. IVimsvlvauia, Kansas and Ftah. from present indications, have reverted to their old standard by uno.piivoeal majorities. In New Yolk the Republicans elect their entire State ticket and carry the State by an increased majority. Conservative estimates place the figures at from "iO,M0 tit tio.ooo. New York City is carried by Tammany, but the combined Democratic vote of that city and Bmoklyn shows a loss of about 12.000. The Legislature is solidly Republican. Iow a goes Republican by a plurality approximating 7o,tMM. Five hundred precincts showed that Drake (Rep-) for Governor, had run ahead of .lackson (Rep.l l.S'o. and that Babb ilK m.l had run behind Boies iDemJ 7.."so. The legislature will be Republican and all the Republican State ticket will bo ehi-tod. In Ohio Bushneil, the Republican candidate, is elected Governor over Campbell by from SO.ooo to lOO.OO: majority. His vote exceedi-d that of McKinley right through the State. In addition to ehctIng Bushnell and the rest of the State ticket the Republicans h ive fully throefourths of each branch of th legislature, thus enabling them to elect a Republican successor to Brice In the Fnited States Senate. Late returns from Kentucky confirm the election of Hardin tlen. for Governor, with the entire State ticket, with the possible exception of .ludge of the Apellate Court. The returns were meager and unsatisfactory, but there sccuis to be n doubt of the general result. Hardin's plurality will not be over 2.OO0. The indications are that the vote of Jefferson County will decide the race for Governor. Garrard. Bradley's county, gives a Republican gain of IM. Every county frotn which .-omplcte returns were received showed large Republican gains. W. F. L. Iladley. the R. publican candidate for Congress in the Eighteenth Illinois district, to succeed Fred Kenia mi (Rep.), who died in office, defeated his Democratic opponent, Edward Lane, in each of the six counties of the district. C. S. Culp tRop.i received scant support. Hadley's estimated majority is r?,.'0O. In Maryland the Democrats met a veritable Yalerloo. The lvhde State seemingly repudiat d Senator Gorman and the indications now are that a Republican will succeed Senator Gibs in. Baltimore went Republican by from e.(KM to 10,(kmi. Lowndes" election as Governor by a majority of anywhere from lO.ooO to 20.0IN is conceded by the Democratic committee. While the complexion (t' the lpi.-dature could not be determined definitely Tuesday night, there is n reason to hope that the Democrats have saved it. Massachusetts Republicans re-elected Gov. Greenhalge by inci-e.isd majorities. In spite of its being an off year the ticket eiit through with more to spare than it had last year. Returns in at midnight showed that the Democrats elected nothing and are lucky to be iu the race at all. New Jersey may possibly join the Republican column. In many of the counties from which returns were rceeivd tip to midnight Griggs (Rep.), for Governor, was in the lead by substantial majorities over Met! ill. The State committee, however, claims Met Jill's election by ubout t'i.Ot. On the other hand, the Republicans claim the Governorship and legislature on joint ballot. In Nebraska T. L. Nerval. Republican candidate for the Supreme bench, is probably elected by lo.ooo majority. Maxwell tl'op.) polled less than fSl.OOO. while Bhelps (Silver Dein. I got alout L'ö.ooo. Mahoney. the straight Democratic candidate, will not receive t exceed 10.OOO. Forty-two precincts out of .eventy-si. in Oinaha gave Broatch tRop.). for Mayor. Sm plurality. His total plurality is estimated at 2.-MIO. Pennsylvania went Republican with increased majorities. The voting early in the day indicated but little interest, and a probable falling off of the votes of ltli the big parties. In the late hours, however, this was overcome by the rapidly increasing number of electors, who appeared at the jiools. The vote was fully up to expectations and the majorities will average No.m" and better. In Philadelphia alone there was a heavy increase in the Republican vote. The city went Republican by OO.Oimi. This may send the foal majority in the State over lOU. In Kansas th eliition of David Martin, the Republican candidate for chief justice of the Supreme Court, is eonceihil In Mississippi tie Democrats have swept the Stale by eO.ooo majority. The Republicans carried Chicago and Cok C-ounty by ydurulltiev considerably less than those given their ticket one year ago. The Democrats made gains in almost every ward of the city, but their combined gains wem not sufficient to overcome the Repuldican exi-es in ISM. Far1 1 li Q. Ball. Republican, defeated Richard W. Morrison. Democrat, for the vacancy on the Sujieiior Court bench by .Xd,0tS plurality. For the full term on the mine bench Judge Henry M. Shepard. Democrat, was elect (si without opjoition to sueived himself. Judge Shepard received a total vote of l.'t 4.." &.';'.. which was only about 2,too lesH than thft combined vote of Ball and Morrison.
