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 Norwalk, Conn.

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. Fell Eleven s‘tbries. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. ‘ 18. —-Arthur F.

New York Buildersand' Their Em- ployees Again Lock HOrns. NEITHER SIDE WILL YIELD. —-.—+—— 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.
