BLAME WHERE IT SHOULD BE Turkish 0 Government Held Responsible A For the Latest Massacres—Saiisbury Determined to Deal Decisively With the Porto. , CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 8.—-The much threatened Abdul Hamid _II, sultan of Turkey, is known to be in a perturbed state of mind, although the unexpected has happened in the death. of the Russian minister for foreign affairs, Prince Leban- off-Rostovsky, and the “Shadow, ” as some English newspapers dub the head of the house of Osman, breathes more freely. In spite of this the air is by no means clear. The entire blame for the recent mas- sacres is now placed by the representatives of the powers upon the Turkish govern- ment and there are rumors that :the out- breaks here have had their echo in butch- eries of Armenians in several places of Asia Minor. Consequently the return of the British fleet to Turkish waters cannot ‘ have anything but a salutary effect and . the Americans here are greatly pleased , to hear that'a squadron of United States war- ships has been detailed to protect Ameri- can interests, for' there is no doubt that the American missionaries will once more be in serious danger if the massacres of thistime last year are to be repeated. Dip- lomatic remonstrances and similar repre- sentations when not backed up by a dis- play of force have absolutely no lasting effect upon the porte. The 'Sultan Agitated. The sultan was decidedly agitated when informed that the embassies of the powars would not be illuminated, as has been the * custom, in honor of the thirtieth anniver— sary of the sultan’s accession to the throne, upon the deposition of his elder brother, Murad V. His majesty set Tewfik Pasha, the minister for foreign afiairs, to make a round of the embassies and represent to the ambassadors that the omission would be likely to have a bad effect upon the Turkish troops. The pasha was informed. in reply that the Turkish government must take steps to prevent any such dem- onstration, for nothing less was hinted at, upon the part of the minister for foreign afialrs, and the latter was reminded again that a continuance of disorder here or else- where would endanger the integrity of the Turkish empire. The above was the real gist of the reply Tewfik Pasha received at all the embassies, but the wording, glossed 'with the veneer of oriental diplomacy. was to the effect that “after the recent events here the rep- ble to observe mourning, and as illumina-' tions signified rejoicing any such display would be out of place.” . It is well known in diplomatic circles that the sultan and his advisers were con- siderably taken aback by the apparently complete accord which exists amongthe resentatives of the powers found it suita- f representatives of the powers. Resuming Business. In the meanwhile, however, business is being resumed in the different quarters of the Turkish capital, except that the stores of the Armenians and some of the stores owned by foreigners remain closed. The Ottoman bank and the other banks, with the exception of the Credit Lyonnais, the chief French financial institution, have reopened their doors. But the in- terior of the Ottoman bank is inclosed by barriers, workmen are busily engaged re- pairing the damage done by the rioters, and the building is closely guarded by Turkish troops.) Little business, however, is being done, as some time must necessarily elapse be- fore the confidence of the general public, which is slowly returning, is sufficiently restOred to enable people to resume the usual routine of everyday life. The British residents of Bebek, who sought refuge on board the Austrian guardship, have already returned to their residences ashore, and half of the guard of marines which has been stationed around the British consulate has been sent back to the guardships of Great Britain. In spite of the feeling of quiet which is returning, the search of the khans for con- cealed Armenians continues without in- terruption, and many more arrests have been made. But there have been no fur— ther discoveries of bombs or dynamite, so far as known. A Fresh Difficulty. Owing" to the refusal of the Austrian consul to surrender to the Turkish au- thorities the Armenians employed by Aus- trian subjects, a fresh difficulty has arisen, and it is looked upon as being serious enough to call for a meeting of all the for- eign consuls in order to consider the mat- ter. It is explained by the Turkish officials that their principal object now in search- ing the khans for Armenians is to release the unfortunate persons who are famishing in concealment and who dare not venture out to seek for food. This is a typical Turkish explanation. . ~ About 150 Armenians who sought ref- uge in the Russian embassy during the recent rioting have been placed on board the Russian guardships, and it is thought advisable to keep them there for the pres- ent. They were escorted on board the warships by fully armed Russian sailors, much to the disgust of the Turks. Turkish troops under Vehby Pasha, the military commander of Peru, accompanied by the Russian dragoman, have searched all the cafes of the Tophaneh quarter and have expelled from them or have arrested all Mussulmans of doubtful character. The latest news from the island of Crete is of a somewhat more reassuring char- acter. ‘No fresh disturbances have been chronicled there recently and the new or- ganic law, comprising the reforms agreed upon between the representatives of the powers and the porte and subsequently ratified by the sultan, has been promul- gated. It provides, among other things, that two-thirds of the public oflicials of the island are to be Christians, that the tobacco revenues are to be devoted to the uses of the Cretans and that the arrears and deficits incurred in expenditures net sanctioned by the assembly shall be as- sumed by the porte, which, incidentally, will mean the war expenses recently in- curred. , ' The Cretan Reforms. ‘ The new Cretan assembly will meet in about six weeks’ time, but inw the mean- time the reforms agreed upon Will be pro- visionally carried out by the governor and mum“, under the guarantee of the pew- ers. Under these circumstances no further trouble of a serious description is locket or from Crete. i __ - On, the other hand, ‘if the reports of fresh massacres in Armenia turn out to _.r' be well founded, another cloud has arisen to darken the political sky in the east and the end is not yet. e . ~ - It is rumored this evening that the sul- tan has been in a state of dejection since he was informed of the death of Prince Lobenofi-Rostovsky, who was looked upon by his majesty as being a strong supporter of Turkey against any coercion upon the part of Great Britain. . Rumor also has it that the late Russian minister for foreign afiairs will be suc- ceeded by M. de Nelidorff, the Russian ambassador here, and that the latter, in turn, will he succeeded here by M. Jacow- ski, new coiincilor 0f the Russian embas- sy at Constantinople. These. changes, if they take‘place, will not be to the liking of the sultan, for it is probable that no man is so well posted on the weakness of. the Turkish empire as M. de Nelidorfl. Lord Salisbury’s Expected Action. LONDON. Sept 3. flu. official circles here it is believed that the Marquis of Salis- bury has determined to pursue his own . course at Constantinople in future, and that he has given the British ambassador, Sir Philip-Currie, precise and significant instructions, with greater powars to com- mand naval aid in enforcing the demands of Great Britain. THE TRANSVAAL RAID. Engineer John Hays Hammond Throws Some Light on the Expedition. LONDON, Sept. 3.—‘Reports having been circulated .in the United States that Mr. John Hays Hammond, the American en- gineer who was manager of the De Beers mines of South Africa, has had a serious dispute with Dr. L. S. Jameson, leader of the Transvaal raid, now undergoing sen- tence of 15 months’ imprisonment for that oflense in Holloway jail, a representative of the press has had an interview with Mr. Hammond on the subject. Mr. Ham- mond, who will visit the United States at the end' of the present month, is now liv- ing at Chiselhurst, not far from this city, where Mrs.‘ Hammond last week gave birth to a son. ~ When questioned regardlngthe reported financial misunderstanding between him- self and Dr. Jameson, Mr. Hammond said that the rumor was “absurdly untrue,” adding: , “I never had any money transactions of _ any kind with Dr. Jameson, and so far as personal feelings go I admire the man. “But I and the other reformers have one great grievance against -Dr. J ameson— nameiy, that he has allowed us to remain under the imputation of cowardice and has stated that He started for Johannes burg in obedience to our request. ‘ “ Our lips have hitherto remained sealed, but it was solely to help Dr. Jameson and his fellow raiders. Had we spoken while they were. in the hands of the Boers or be- fore their trial here then their fate might have been very different. “As a matter of fact, and one which will be conclusively shown during the coming parliamentary investigation, Dr. Jameson started in spite of my express orders to the contrary. I will' not attempt to disguise the fact that we intended to secure by force of arms the reforms which were de— nied us and that we intended to establish an independent republic, but not then. . ”I not only telegraphed Dr. Jameson not to come, but I , sent two of. his own ofiicers who were at Johannesburg—flap,- tain Holden and Major Heany, the ‘iatter ‘ being an American—back to him,5=telling him on no account tatstart'. “I have not seen Dr. Jameson since my arrival in England, but both Mr. Phillips and I have written him that we think the time has come for him to exonerate 135.”. Eloped on a Tandem. NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Sept. 3.—-Miss Hannah Parsons elo'ped to this city on a tandem bicycle with Joseph Mechlin, her lover, and was married by Justice of the Peace Charles Sedam. Mechlin and Miss Persons, who live on neighboring farms near Dayton, have. been lovers for a long time, but on account of their youth their parents have objected. Miss Parsons is about 17 years old and Mechlin was 21 a few weeks ago. The Irish National Convention. DUBLIN, Sept. 3.—Shortly after the Irish national convention had been called to or- der by the chairman,the Right Rev. Patrick O’Donnell, bishop of Raphoe, the Rev. Father Flynn moved the appointment of a committee of arbitration, to be composed of home and foreign delegates with‘ in- structions to draft rules and a platform to unite all the factions of the Irish parties. The motion was [greeted with enthusiasm. The \Veather. Generally fair, followed by cloudy; warmer; southeasteriy winds. TINANOIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Closing Quotations of the New York Stock ' Exchange.

Annie Myers of‘ New York. Choked for Death With a. Stocking? v ‘ POLICE CAN FIND N0 GLEW.’ Owing to Contradictory Statements In an ' H Account of His Movements, thellilur- _ ,. - dared Woman’s Husband Has ’ « Been Put Under Arrest. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-—Passersby in the neighborhood of’Third avenue and TWen- ty-ninth street ”early today were startled at the sight of a man, dressed in a light suit of clothing and wearing a straw but. who rushed out of the hallway at 202 East Twenty-ninth street and ran to ' Thir avenue shouting “Murder!” and “Police!" at the top of. his voice. Policeman John B. Tyler of the East Thirty-fifth Street station, who was on duty at Third avenue near East Twenty-eighth street, hearing the cries, ran up, and the man’ said that his wife had been murdered. Accompanied by the policeman, the man went back to the tenement house and led the way up a crooked flight of stairs to the first floor, a rear room on . the right hand side of the hallway and from that body of a woman apparently 25 years old. About her neck was bound a stocking. which was tied in a double knot at the left side, just under the ear. The body, which was still warm, was clad in a light wrapper and three or four skirts. The wrapper waspartially unbut- toned, and the strings of the corset ,under- the bed. . ‘Thinking theremight beachance to save the woman’s life,.Policeman Tyler sent "Policeman “McEntee, who had in the . meanwhile - arrived, to summon an ambu- lance. . - ' Tyler closely questioned the man who had given the alarm, who said his name was Samuel Myers and that the woman was his wife, Annie Myers. Myers’ Story. Myers said he left his home at 8:45 o’clock last evening and spent the night up to 1 o’clock with friends in Attorney street. ‘ He returned to the house at 1 :30 o’clock, let himself into the rooms with his keY. and upon discovering the condition of his wife he ran out to summon the police. Myers afterward contradicted himself by saying that he left the house at 10 o’clock in the evening. . Surgeon Williams, who arrived in charge of the ambulance from Bellevue hospital. made every effort to restore the woman to consciousress. Tyler had re- moved the stocking from the neck as soon as he reached the room. j, ' ‘After working over the body fer 20 min- utes Surgeon Williams said thewoman wasidead and that death was caused by strangulation. . , « .- . Tyler then placed Myersunder arrest, and he was taken to the Eas’t-Thirty-fifth Samuel Myers, 35 years old, a peddler of jewelry Captain Martens and Detectives Becker. O’Rourke and. Gray pf the East Thirty-"1th Street station immediately started out on an investigation of the case, while Detectives Pinter and Snyder ofth'e central office set to work to question Myers. The latter again changed the "time of leaving the house last evening, saying that it was 9:30 o'clock and that he was in Attorney street up to nearly 1 o’clock. ' Without saying so directly the detectives intimated that. they had good reasons to believe that'Myers is a gambler . and car- ries on his trade of jewelry peddling as a pretense. He frequents the Hebrew quar‘ The Couple Had Quarrels. Myers is a man of dark complexion, 5 feet 8 inches in height. His hair and mus- tache are black, and he looks like a Cuban, although he_ is a Russian Jew. ' ’ The woman who was found dead was 25 years old, of sandy complexion and hair and was a woman of common appearance. . She was well known to the police of the east side stations by the name of “Dutch Maggie.” ' She had been living with Myers for three or four years, and their quarrels had been many. They were dispossessed from rooms at 235 East Twenty-fifth street six weeks ago because of their constant quar- reling, and have since been living at the East TWenty-ninth street address. ' The house is a five story double tene- ment, the ground floor of which is occu- pied. as a liquor saloon. Only two of the eight apartments are occupied, and these tenants live directly above , the rooms oc— cupied by the Myerses. They said they heard no noise or strug- gle at any time during the night. - A careful search of the rooms where the woman met her death failed to reveal any very satisfactory clew. While the police were carrying on their investigations a cat came mowing and purring up to them. They tried to put the animal out of the 1'09?" but pussy refused to be driven out. The police are working on the theory that the woman was murdered. The Dangers of Speed at Sea. LONDON, Sept. 3.—The Times publishes a letter from Lord Colville remonstrating against the great speed of the modern transatlantic steamers. He says that may cross the ocean at such a furious pace- that some calamityis sure to occur in thz near future unless the ocean liners are compelled to adopt additional precaution ary measures. He cites the case of 1th steamship St. Paul, which on Tuesdn.‘ nearly swamped a small steamer.
