THE FLEET Is AT SALONIGA.

Palace Officials Are Declared to Have In-
stigated Massacres—A Nice Humane
Plan For the Extermination
of the Armenians.

LONDON, Nov. 19.—It is understood in
Well informed circles here today that the
assembling of the British and foreign
fleets in Salonica bay is having a good ef-
fect upon the Turkish government, and
that the sultan has finally determined to
make earnest efforts to put a stop to the
bloodshed in Asia Minor. Sir Philip
Currie, the B1itish embassador to Turkey,
has left this city for Constantinople, via
Vienna, after consulting at length with
the Marquis of Salisbury and having an
audience with Queen Victoria.

.It is understood that the Marquis of
Salisbury has received assurances that the
sultan has dispatched commissioners to
Asia Minor instructed to put in force as
soon as practicable the reforms insisted
upon by the pOWers, and that beyond the
assembling of the foreign fleets 01f Salon-
ica the powers will take no further steps
at present, being desirous of giving the
Turkish government every opportunity
possible of restoring order 1n the disturbed
districts without recourse to measures
which might add to the state of anarchy
prevailing. The following telegram from
Constantinople was received today by the
Anglo-Armenian association:

"The Armenians are being massacred
everywhere in Asia Minor. Over 100, 000
are dying of starvation and exposure.
The Sassoun work of relief is closed.
For God’ s sake, urge the government to
stop the most awful events of modern
times. The porte is powerless, as all the
telegraphs are under the control of the
palace officials, who have incited the mas-
sacres throughout Anatolia.”

. Agitation Against Christians.

A dispatch received here today from
Rome says that advices which have reach-
ed there from Constantinople announce
that the agitation against the Christians
of northern Syria is extending and that
massacres have occurred near Aleppo. ‘

The correspondent at Constantinople of
The Chronicle complains of the punctili-
ousness of the British embassy, which, for
the sake of conforming with the require-
ments of international courtesy, has con-
sented to the exclusion of the English pa-
pers containing Lord Salisbury’ 9 lord
mayor’s dinner speech.

The Chronicle correspondent says that
he can obtain no trustworthy evidence
throwing any light upon any improvement
in the mental condition of Abdul Hamid
II. A dispatch to The Times from Gen-
stantinople says that the sultan gave an
audience to the Austrian cmbassador Fri-
day. The ministers meet daily, and the
embassadors also held ameeting today,
the Austrian embassador presiding.

The money market is righting itself
The run on the Ottoman bank affected
none of its 34 branches, except the branch
bank at Beirut, where slight trouble was
reported.

It is officially announced that an Ar-
menain disguised as an Arab was arrested
at Orfah, bearing a letter from the bishop
of Aleppo to the Armenian bishop at Or-
fah, asking’him to send gunpowder and
saltpeter to Zeitun team. the insurgents,
adding: “Baion of Zeitun will organize
an army. The Armenians of Marash are
ready and eager for the fray.”

The correspondent of The Times learns
that the constitutional part-y professes no
personal animus against the sultan, com-
plaining only against him on account of
his odious misgovernment. The consti-
tutional party should not be confounded
with Midhat’s Young Turks party. The
members of the constitutional party say
that they desire only rational government
by peaceful means. They have never
cared for vengeance or for bloodshed. -

Five Thousand Victims at Siwas.

A dispatch to The Standard from Con-
stantinople says that French official re.
ports insist that there are at least 5, 000
victims as a result of the three days’ mas-

It is noteworthy that the wave of Turkish
violence is new sweeping westward. The
idea prevails that when the inhabitants
of the Zeitun district have been wiped
out the massacres will temporarily cease,
leaving for winter and famine the com-
plete extermination of the Armenians.
Order has been restored at Gurun, a town
of Asia Minor, and oflicialflispatches dur-
ing the last two days seem to show that
the sultan, fearing action by the powers,
has ordered the stoppage of the massacres.

The campaign against the Young Turks
continues, according to the correspondent
of The Standard, who says: “Thirty-six
more of the members of the Young Turks
party have been drowned off Kalki island.
This will be denied officially, but I am
satisfied of the truth of the report.” Rep.
resentatives of the different governments
at ‘the Mush consulates report a small
less of life during the recent riots there,
owing to the gallant behavior of the gov-
ernor, who exposed his own life in order
to stop the fighting, while the better class.
of the Moslems sheltered the Armenians
in the various mosques. The various
Turkish papers publish fresh appeals,
urging upon the people the necessity of
abstaining from all acts of violence.

A Constantinople dispatch to The Daily
News says that the 'Armenian missiona-
ries at Bitlis have wired the English and
the American representatives 'asking that
the government provide an escort to Van
for them and for their-families. The cor-
respondent of The Daily News makes the

stounding announcement that fully 20, -
000 Armenians have been killed during
the recent massacres.
Kiamil Pasha Accused.

The Vienna correspondent of The Daily
News asserts that it is reported in advices
received from Constantinople that several
officers have submitted letters to the sul-
tan which, they claim, convict Kiamil
Pasha of treason.‘ The same correspond-

 

ent also announces that the _.sultlaggap 1

b71311 so upset by the recent turn which
affairs have taken that a nervous fever
has set in,‘and that he is now so ill that
he only devotes two hours daily to public
affairs. The young son of Sultan Abdul
Hamid is always with him.

The Daily News today publishes a long
special dispatch dated at New York which
describes the indignation and anxiety
awakened in America because of. the ex-
isting condition of affairs in the Turkish
empire and because of recent attacks upon
American missionaries. Commenting
upon this dispatch, The Daily News-says:
“The new world is asserting itself to re-
dress the wrongs and alter the balances of
the old. The lethargy of the powers is

general and of Russia in particular is
hard to realize, still harder to explain.
The present disreputable Turkish minis-
try 1‘s by its very existence a defiance to
Europe. President Cleveland is not like
ly to intervene except for the purpose of
protecting American citizens in Turkey.
Sir Philip Currie will naturally do what
he can for the Americans there. It is
well, however, that the Turks should
know that there is a. great nation beyond
the Atlantic which will not allow the
blood of its sons to be shed Wit-h impu-
nity.”

The Telegraph’s Constantinople dis-
patches announce that the Armenian re-
form commission held its first meeting on
Saturday. The sultan promises to carry
into execution the reforms proposed when
the disturbances are suppressed. The Tel-
egraph adds that fresh disturbances are
reported in the neighborhoods of Aleppo,
Aintab, Marouan and Amasia. The Turks
accuse the Armenians of provoking the

trouble, claiming that no non-Armenian

Christians have suffered during the recent
disturbances in Asia Minor.

Admissions From Constantinople.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 18, via Sofia,
Bulgaria, Nov. 19.——No details have yet
been received here of the reported massa-
cre of about 800 Armenians at Khar-

.put or of the sacking and burning of 8

out of 12 of the buildings belonging to the
American missionaries there. United
States Minister Terrell has telegraphed
for particulars of the outbreak, asking es-
pecially whether the mission buildings
were set on fire by the rioters or whether
they simply caught fire and were destroy-
ed as the result of a general conflagration.

The Ameiican and other missionaries
at Bitlis have been compelled to return
to Van under an escort of Turkish tioops
which was accorded them upon the strong
representations of Mr. Terrell to the porte.
In anticipation of the recent massacres Mr.
Terrell .had previously demanded and ob-
tained from the Turkish government cat-
egoric orders for the protection of the
American missionaries, and nothing which
can provide for their safety has been left
undone by the United States officials.
Mr. Terrell, although granted leave of ab—
sence, refuses to leave his post, being de-
termined to remain here until all Ameri-
cans are in safety and the authority of the
sultan once more established throughout
Asia Minor.

At the request of the United States
consulate the vali of Aleppo has detailed
certain Turkish officers of high rank to
protect the Americans of that place, hold-
ing them responsible for the lives of those
placed under their charge.

Further massacres are reported from
Siwas. There is an unconfirmed report
that 4,000 Armenians were killed at Gu-
run. Although these reports are not con‘
firmed, the Turkish officials here admit
that the Kurds have made two separate
attacks upon the Armenians of that local-
ity and that there was considerable loss
of life, due, according to the Turks, to the
rioting of. the Armenians, which could
not otherwise have been suppressed.

The porte has ordered a special inquiry
into the massacre of Christians at Alex-
andrctta, northern Syria, where 3.00 Turk-
ish troops are said to have looked on while
the killing took place.

 

 

American Missionaries Safe.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19—le Turkisl
legation at Washington has received un-
der yesterday’s date the following tele-
gram from the sublime porte:

“The safety of the missionaries is com-
pletely assured. Our previous telegrams
have already shown that the accusations
about a supposed massacre are groundless.
The reported unpleasantness between the
grand vizier and Mr. Terrell, the Ameri-
can embassador at Constantinople, result-
ing from a suppressed note of a letter
which, as a matter of fact, has never been
sent to his highness, the sublime porte, is
also groundless.”

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 19.—Rev.
Dan F. Bradley of the Park Congrega-
tional church spoke of the recent burning
of mission buildings at Kharput, Turkey.
A committee, with ex- Congressman
Cutcheon as chairman, was appointed and
a telegram urging the full protection of
American missionaries sent to Assistant
Secretary of State Uhl. In the afternoon
the following reply was received:

“Our latest advices report Kharput mis-
sionaries safe and the American minister
is taking all possible precaution for their
future safety. Nothing is being emitted
by the state department in the direction
of appropriate .nd energetic action.’

The American board of the Congrega-
tional church has exclusive charge of the
missions in Asia Minor. and the Park
church has a representative in that field
——Mrs. Etta D. Marden, who is stationed
at Marash. Her letters, recently received,
state that she is not allowed to wire par-
ticulars of the trouble with the Turks. ,

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Nov. 19,—The fol-
lowing telegram l1a‘s been sent by M.
Griffen, member of congress, Seventh dis-
trict, to Secretary of State _Olney at Wash-
ington:

”Constituents of mine have near rela-
tives who are near Kharput. In their be-
half I would urge that the utmost efforts
consistent with existing conditions and
relations be made for the protection of all
such.”

The people in Kharput referred to are
the Rev. 0. P. Allen and family, relatives
of E. Allen, president of the Commercial
National bank of this city.

Unless the Matter _iIs Speedily Adjusted a
Sympathetic Strike, Involving Forty
Thousand Blah, Will Be Inau-

gurated—Th'e Men’s Demands.
1

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—The threatened
strike of the housesmiths’ and bridge-
men’s unions began today, when about
DUO-men employed by the J. B. and J. M.
Cornell Iron works and Milliken Bros,
ironwork contractors, left their jobs

'011 14 buildings and refused to work until

their differences had been settled by their
employers. This action, it was asserted
by the men, was only the beginning of a
long strike which, they say, will involve -

the entire building trade and about 40, 000 '

men unless their demands are complied
with at once. 5

The demands of the mar? are for a prac-
tical recognition of their union and a
yielding on the part of their employers to
everything they demand.

The principal demands of the men in-
clude one for eight hours’ work a day,
with an hour at noon for dinner and a
wage scale running down from $3. 50 a
day for foreman’s finishers to $2.25 a
day for finishers’ helpers. The demand
also calls for the recognition of the union
and the employment of only union men.
They also demand that their walking del-
egates shall have the run of the buildings
at all times.

The cause of the trouble dates back to
the last big building strike four years ago,
which was caused by the refusal of the
Jackson Architectural Iron works to dis-
charge an engineer who refused to join
their union. At that time the union was
very strong. The strike lasted four weeks,
during which time the iron manufactur-
ers of this city formed the Iron league,
with J. M. Cornell as president, and
fought the union until it was dissolved.

Since then the union has been reform-
ing secretly» and now has decided to try
another fight' with Mr. Cornell. When
the strike was decided upon last night, it
was thought and said openly that the
building trades in this city could not at
the-present time withstand the demands
of the men.

The Manufacturers’ Claim.

Just what truth'there is in this asser-
tion it is hard to learn. The iron manu~
facturers claim that they- can stand a
strike as long as the men want it to last‘
and back up their assertion by absolutely
refusing to arbitrate, although the state
board of arbitration is now in this city
for the purpose of adjusting the trouble.

Mr. Cornell, acting for his association,
insists that there is nothing to arbitrate
and that the men need not work unless
they Wish. It is claimed tha‘flplenty of
nonunion men can be obtained from other
cities, and the assertion is made that they
will be brought here unless the strike is
declared off within a week. The building
trades in other cities are not particularly
active at the present time, although a
great deal of work is being done here, and
there will not be much trouble, it is said,
in getting outside men.

The strik 01s, on t-l1-.. 1 other hand, expect
this and say that if any nonunion men are
brought to this city a sympathetic strike
will be ordered and 40,000 men sent on

‘strike. Mr. Cornell, who will have charge

of the strike for the Iron league, was not
in the city today. and it was said at his
office that it was doubtful if he returned
until tomorrow. Until that time no in-
formation could be had as to his plans
further than that he would not yield to
the demands of the strikers.

Chief of Police Conlin announced to
day that he learned from the precinct
commanders that men had left work on
the following buildings: Fifteenth street
and Sixth avenue, 160 men; Thirty-third
street and Fifth avenue, 30 men; Twenty-
ninth street and Broadway, 20 men;
southwest corner Broadway and Twenty-
eighth street, 11 men; 131 West Twenty~
ninth street, 10 men; 13 and 15 West
Twenty-eighth street, 17 men; 1113
Broadway, 58 men; Exchange place and
William street, 14 men.

Some men working on Grace church
chapel, Fourteenth street and Third av-
enue, also left work.

Fears For a Schooner.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., ' Nov. 18. -— The
schooner Victory, with a crew of 12 per-
sons, left Labrador Oct. 31. She has not
yet arrived here, so it is feared that she
has been lost, with all hands on board.
