LlGUESTOWES-T’POINT
THE MEMBERS OF THE PARTY
As Usual With the Ear-nan Eyiysmrc
' Was Made,’but Rain Upset an the Ar-
rangements Which Had Been Made.
., and Re Did Not Go Ashore.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—The Viceroy, Li
Hung Chang, smiling and eager eyed as'
ever, embarked on board the Dolphin to-
day fer a trip up the Hudson river and a
visit to West Point, where he went'to see
. as much as he likes of the United States
Military academy and the cadets- It was ‘
intended that the distinguished guest
should review the fleet off Tompkinsville
and inspect every cruiser there, but he is
afraid of long journeys, and when the
plan was laid before him he drew his
brush carefully through all this and re-
tained only the jaunt to West Point.
Having accepted it,,,he was ready be-
times. He was up, as usual, at 6 ;30 o’clock,
and his servants were kept ‘ scurrying
about preparing cooking utensils and pro-
visions for the journey; Edward B. Drew
had the management of the business, and
soon after 7:30 o’clock Li and his suit an-
nounced themselves as willing to start.
The squad of mounted police were drawn
up in line, and the small crowd that had
collected around the hotel, despite the
early hour, were agitated by encouraged
expectation.
Li appeared leaning lightly on a walk-
ing stick. He walked steadily enough and
looked about him with those keen, shrewd
glances which see individuals, not the
crowd as a whole. General Ruger, repre-
senting his host, the United States govern-
ment, was at his side, and they two got
together into the first carriage, where Mr.
Lo, the secretary and interpreter, joined
them. The Chinese minister, Yang Yu,
Lord Li, Jr., and L. Wing, secretary of
the Chinese embassy at Washington, fol-
lowed and took ‘the second carriage. In
the third carriage were Major Davis, Cap-
tain Cummings and Captain Miller of the
stafi in attendance on Li. Following these
were ex-Minister Seward, General Fitzger-
ald, Colonel Van Deusser, Colonel J. J.
McCook, Mr. Drew and other attaches of
the earl embassador.
Few Cheers For Li.
As the small procession trotted down
- toward the pier at East Twenty-sixth
street under the safe conduct of the mount-
ed police, workmen ‘and women, the early
business-and professional men, paused to
see the great eastern statesman pass. There
were no cheers. Indeed, cheers have been
very. rare along the American pathway of
Li Hung Chang. The placid amusement
and the eager curiosity of the guest have
been matched by thewilling welcome oi
the multiple host and theflocking curios-
ity. Everywhere he has gone. his way has
been lined with .peOple, and they have
craned. their hooks to see his approach.
‘ They have given their gaz'e so ely to him.
Thetroops of picked cavalry ave excited
no interest at all that has been manifested.
But the eagerness to see this eastern mag-
nate does not when sated burst into ap-
plause or into prompt comment. The
crowd gazes and wonders and seems to fail
to understand the eminence of the China-
man and to wonder also at the open eyed
Wonder of the guest.
At the pier the party, passing through
the lines of police, were received by Cap-
tain Biddles and were joined by ex-Secre-
tary Foster, General. James H. Wilson,
Mayor Strong and his son, Colonel Sum—
ner, John Russell Young and Colonel Ap-
pleton. The eight cared barge of the D01-
phin was to take all the guests aboard. Li
Went first. Four sailors placed his chair,
which came on ahead, before him, and
when he was seated set him in the stern of
the barge. . Thus, without moving again,
he was conveyed to the dispatch boat and
put aboard her, where he could receive at
ease the others of the party.
As soon as his sailors stepped with him
upon the deck of the Dolphin the gun crew
forward fired an admiral’s salute of 19
guns, and the report was very sharp and
farreaching in the cold, fresh air of that
early morning hour. While the gunners
were at Work the barge plied swiftly to
and fro taking up the guests who had ar-
rived. One was late, President Thompson,
and for him there was a short wait, but
at 10 minutes to 9the Dolphin impatient-
ly weighed anchor and started down the
East river. She soon rounded the Battery
and was on her way in the track of Hen-
rik Hudson. '
Rain Prevents the Inspection.
WEST POINT, Sept. 1.—The Doplhin,
with Li Hun-g Chang and party on board,
arrived here at 12:45 o’clock. It was rain-
ing hard. It was decided to give up the
proposed inspection. Li didn’t leave the
Dolphin.
Li’s Washington Visit.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—-At the Chipese
legation it is said that it has been deter-
mined that Li Hung Chang will visit this
city next Thursday, arriving here at night.
He will be met by all the members of the
legation, who will escort him and his suit
to the Arlington hotel, where he will stay
during the two days that he will remain
in this city. -
No Cruise, For These Cadets.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—Iu consequence
of the emergency necessitating the sending
of the practice cruiser Bancroft to the Gold-
tn Horn the fourth or lowest class at the
Naval academy is prevented from having
its usual September cruise and will be
quartered on the old Santee until the Oc-
tober term begins. The Santee, which is
an old. hulk not mentioned in the naval
register, is permanently moored at the
academy and is used as amarine barracks.
Milk Causes Typhoid Fever.
‘ NEW HAVEN, Sept. 1.—Eighteen new
cases of typhoid fever were reported to the
health authorities today, making the total
~ nf known cases 69. Every effort is being
made to prevent the spread of the disease.
All of the cases‘thus far reported are be-
lieved to have been caused by milk delivt
ered by one dealer. '

Curtlouds'c! Murdered Armenians Taken
I A'wny—More Trouble ‘Is Expected.
- British 'Bluejackets Charge
the Dcspicnhle Turks.
- CONS‘I‘ANTINOPLE, Sept. 1,—A special
judicial committee began sittings in this
city today for the purpose of trying 400
Moslems and Armenians who are accused
of having participated in the recent riot-
ing in and around Constantinople. .
Chaker Pasha and Vehdy Pasha have
been appointed to the command of the
military in Constantinople and Galata
respectively, with orders summarily to
suppress any signs of disorder.
The Italian dispatch boat Galileo has
been ordered to Constantinople asa second
_ guardship.
A detachment of British marines which
was marching from the British guardship
to the English embassy clubbed and beat
back a Turkish mob who were maltreatv
ing a number of Armenians in the street.
The porte made a complaint against the
conduct of the troops to Mr. Michael Her-
bert, British charge d'aflaires, who replied
that the marines had a perfect right to
protect the Armenians if the Turkish
troops did not see fit to do so.
a Crisis at Hand. ,.
LONDON, Sept. 1.—The Daily News in
its editorial columns says, “Europe is face
to face with the deposition of the sultan
and the partition of Turkey.”
A dispatch to The Times fromVCoustan-
tinople says that, the joint note of the'em-
bassadors of the powers asking the sublime
porte to suppress the disorders in Con-
stantinople without delay iliug tohave
the desired effect, the representatives of
the powers dispatched a joint telegram
warning the sultan that he endangered
the Turkish empire by suffering the con-
tinuance of anarchy by the connivance of
the imperial trocps and the police. It is
said that the sultan-trembled when he re-
ceived this warning telegram. ,
Neither the members of the diplomatic
circles nor rational observers doubt that
an armed mob of Turks had been previous~
1y organized for possible riots. It was no-
ticed that less than two hours after the in-
sane attack on the Ottoman bank by the
Armenians the mob had filled the streets
at Galata and overspread the whole city,
and ‘Turks in parties from 120 to 150
strong, apparently well organized and act-
ing in concert, crossed in lighters from
Stamboul. ~
’ In commenting upon the rapidity with
which the mob overspread Constantinople
after the attack upon the Ottoman bank,
the Constantinople correspondent of the
London Times says that all of the mischief
could not have been done without organi-
zation and without the connivance of the
authorities; ~ -
. Statement of a. Hostage.
A dispatch to The Daily News from
Constantinople gives a personal interview
with Frank Barker, who was left in the
place of Sir Edgar Vincent as a hostage
during the negotiation between the Ar-
menian leader in the Ottoman bank raid
and the Turkish officials. The dispatch
says: . . .
“Mr. Barker stated that the invaders
told him that they intended to seize the
Credit Lyonnais ofiices and explode a
bomb there- It was part of their plan to
raid the Voivoida police station at the
same time. The bombs were to be explod-
ed at the police station simultaneously
with the attack upon the Credit Lyonnais.
However, the men detailed for the attack
on the Credit Lyonnais arrived too late for
a simultaneous attack on the police sta-
tion. It was part of the plot to attack the
palace of the sultan and the patriarchate,
at the same time.” .
Over 100 carts loaded with the bodies of
the dead Armenians were seen crossing the
bridge from Galata to Stamboul, accord-
ing to The ,Daily News correspondent.
This will give some idea of the number of
Armenians killed during the recent riots.
At Hasskeni not a single Armenian male
was allowed to live. At this place, how-
ever, be it said to the credit of the Turk-
ish mob, they left the women and children
unharmed. ~
In conclusion the Constantinople cor-
respondent of The Daily News says that
the Armenians allowed themselves to be
killed like sheep. It was noticed that the
better class of Turks at Constantinople
had nothing to do with the killing of the
Armenians. The mobs consisted entirely
of the lowest classes of Constantinople
and its suburbs, lazzaroni, the Kurds and
the men who work along the wharfs of
the city. It is now estimated that over
4,000 persons were killed.
Stamboul has been covered with revo-
the Young Turkey party. Serious trouble
is expected on the anniversary of the sul-
tan’s accession.
A dispatch to The Post from Constanti-
nople says: ~
. ~“Members of the Armenian revolution-
ary societies threw a bomb on the premises
of the Credit Lyonnais and the tobacco
syndicate. The amount of the damage is
not reported. ”

Man Charged With. Swimming-Says. nu
"' Accuser Is (tirault. ’ " ‘
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.’-—-'Steph'en A.‘Dut-
,ton, who lives at 137 West Seventy-first
street,~ was arrested today by. Detective
Cuff of the central Office. , 1 - , _
The- complainant was Lillie Alys God-
frey of Washington city. She accused Mr.
Dutton of making false representations
whereby she transferred to him property
at about $50,000. Dutton represented, ac-
cording to the complaint, that he was the
.owner of a lease upon acity block bounded
by Madison avenue, One Hundred and
Thirty¥seventh street and the East river,
and upon which was situated the plant of
he also represented that .he owned a con-
trolling interest. He swere that .there were
no judgments) against him on record ex-
cept $8,500. The complaint alleges‘further
that these representations were all false;
that Dutton had. no lease on theproperty;
that whatever property he did pessess was
in the hands of a receiver, and that there
were judgments against him aggregating
‘ $25,000; that he did not ‘own a controlling
interest in the Scott'Coal and Ice .com-
pany, and that the company was not doing
a prosperous business, as he had alleged.
The complaint continues that by these
representations and by pretending to
transfer this property to Mrs. Godfrey he
obtained. from her in exchange title to the
property owned. by her in Washington city
valued at $50, 000. _‘
Mr. Dutton told quite a diflerent story.
He asserted that he owned at the time of
\this transaction 9. 41 years’ lease of 'the
Madison avenue property, which he had
obtained from J. sargent Cram in the lat-
ter part of 189.4 or the beginning of 1895,
and that he had owned all the first mort-
gage bonds of the Scott company, amount-
ing to $185,000. He had, he said,-trans-
ferred all this property. to Mrs. Godfrey,
and in consideration was to receive in re-
turn 240 acres on the Penobscott river,
near Belfast, Me, 1,250 acres in the Adi-
rondacks, some timber lands in Washing-
ton state and some unimproved lots in the
northern part of Washington city. Only
the latter, he said, had been transferred to
him in pursuance of contract, and the rest
of the property had been withheld, al-
tho ' the contract called for its sur-
rend r. In order to compel execution of
the contract he had brought suit in the
supreme court against Mrs. Godfrey only
a week ago.

their principal efiects. Most of them lost
everything, and some escaped in their
nightclothes. , . . . 11-:

from an overheated range, and within an
hour the frame structure was in ashes.

ance of $23,000 on buidling and $5,000 on

abundance of old colOnial furniture and
quaint antique panels.
