11.ch AND SHERMAN.

the Former Denies the Latter-’- Charge
of Delegate‘Buylng In 1888.

DETROIT, Nov. 15.—In the second vol-
ume of Senator Sherman ’s memoirs, proof-
sheets of which have been sent to varidus
newspapers throughout the country, oc-
curs the following passage referring to
the contest for the presidential nomina.
tion of 1888: “I believed and had, as I
thought, conclusive proof that the friends
of General Alger substantially purchased
the votes of many of the delegates from
the southern states who had been in-
structed by their conventions to vote for
me.” The senator says that he has no
reason to believe that General Harrison
resorted in the slightest degree to any im-

 

 

GENERAL ALGER.

proper or corrupt combination to secure
his nomination, and he adds that the only
feeling of resentment that he himself en-
tertained was in “regard to the action of
the friends of General Alger in tempting
with money poor negroes to violate the
instructions of their constituents.”

The attention of General Alger was
called to the above tcday. a said: “I
am very much surprised that Senator
Sherman, laboring under the disappoint-
ment of not receiving a nomination,
should connect my name with it. If he
knows anything about the matter, he
knows that his charges against me were
without foundation. There never was a
*time when his combined vote and mine
would have nominated him in the conven-
tion of 1888. My request to my friends
was that, in case my nomination was not
possible, they should cast their votes for
General Harrison, believing, as I did, that
a soldier should be nominated. Second to
him I asked them to support Senator
Sherman. If any money was used, which
I do not believe, to purchase votes from
the south, it was against my positive in«
structions, and no bill of the kind has
ever been presented to or paid by me. I
never could understand why Senator
Sherman should try to blight the name of
a man who has never by any act injured
him or any other man. "

A Fatal Cave In.

WOONSOCKET, R. 1., Nov. 15.-—Two men
were killed by the caving in of a sewer
trench on Clinton street today. They
were Alexander Aubin and Joseph La~
ville. The men were members of a gang
of 53 men at work on the main city sewer.
The trench was 6% feet deep, and the
sides were not shored up. A section of the
bank about 2 feet wide and 10 feet in
length tumbled into the trench.

Healy Removed.

,DUBLIN, Nov. 15 —--At the meeting of
the Irish National federation Sir Thomas
Esmonde introduced a resolution propos-
ing to appoint a committee to reconsider
the subject matter of the organization.
This motion was rejected. Mr. London’s
motion to remove Messrs. Healy, Arthur
O’Connor, Dr. Fox, William Murphy and
Joseph Mooney from the executive com-
mittee was adopted.

A Boy’s Strange Death.

BROOKLYN, Nov. 15.—Frank New,14
years old, died today of injuries received
last night by failing either from the ele-
vated structure at Myrtle and De Kalb
avenues or from the high stairs leading to
the station. The boy was found insensi~
ble between the up and down tracks of
the Myrtle avenue trolley cars directly
underneath the stairs.

e

Consrsnrmortu, Nov. 15.—There is
Very little change in the situation here to-
day. The Italian fleet is understood to
be on its way to Salonica bay to join the
British fleet of about 20 warships already
there, the French fleet is expected there
shortly, and the representatives of the
powers, as a result of communications
exchanged with their governments, have
had another informal meeting at the
French embassy. When the three squad—
rons have united, and Sir Philip Currie,
the British ambassador, returns, some de-
cided step upon the part of the powers
may be anticipated.

News received here today from the dis-
trict of Van records fresh massacres of
Armenian Christians there, and there
seems to be no reason for doubting the
authenticity of the statements made.
The Kurds of Van are said to be attacking
and pillaging the Armenian villages, and
the Turkish officials are reported to be
powerless to preserve order.

A telegram received here from Siwas on
Tuesday evening, but only made public
today, says that a massacre of the Ar-
menians has been commenced at that
city; but, according to the ports, order
has been restored there. The real facts
in the case may be expected shortly.

Shakir Pasha to Be Grand Vizier.

It is rumored here today that Shakir
Pasha, the imperial high commissioner
for Armenian reforms, is about to be re-
called in order that he may be appointed
grand vizier in succession to Halil Rifat,
the present incumbent of that office. If
the rumor is correct, this would seem to
be another open defiance of the powers,
for Shakir Pasha is regarded as the chief
butcher of the ports. Since his appear-
ance at Erzerum as high commissioner
the massacres there have been more bloody
and frequent than ever before, and it is
well known that he has done nothing to
punish the offenders. In fact, he has been
charged with calmly looking on while
Turkish soldiers fired upon every helpless
Christian they caught sight of.

Every day brings further details of the
massacres at Erzerum. and each report
makes the story of the crimes more ghast-
ly. Men, women and children were shot,
bayoneted, burned and outraged for days,
the murders and outrages lasting for
weeks, though intervals of rest are re-
corded. The orders for these outrages
are said to have been sent by the ports,
and they Were carried out in the most
cruel manner imaginable. The number
of killed will probably never be known
and is estimated at from 500 to 2, 000, ac-
cording to Turkish or Armenian versions
of the affair. Certainly many hundreds
were killed, and Armenian accounts say
that some of the victims were skinned
alive, while others wdre covered with
petroleum and then set on fire. The
Turks claim that the Armenians were the

mouth, and go to your occupafition lan- 79ngreasors' but independent reports 80'

quit the latter, of doing anything more
than attempting to defend themselves at

g‘Erzerum and Diarbekir, although at Zei-
‘tun, where they captured‘a Turkish bat-

Dr. "-‘talion, and at Marash the Armenians are

admitted to have taken the initiative.

The Turks may not always be to blame

for the outbreaks, but there seems to be

no excuse for the massacres which follow.
Outrages Elsewhere.

Further troubles are reported at Khar-
put, Maiatia and Arabkir, and at Marash
the bloodshed and outrages are said to
have been even more terrible ‘and pro-
longed than at Erzerum. During the
rioting at Marash, Hadjin and Orfah the
Amercan missionaries, on account of the
strong representations made on the sub-
ject to the parts by United States Minister
Terrell, were protected by Turkish gen-
darmes. This, it is known. was by direct
order of the porte, telegraphed to the
Turkish officials at the places mentioned.
Owing to additional disquieting news
just received here from Siwas, Mr. Terrell
has renewed his demand that the pcrte
protect the missionaries, and he is holding
the Turkish government responsible for
the missionaries’ lives.

There is no improvement in the finan-‘

cial aspect of affairs. Indeed there are
rumors afloat to the efi'ect that certain
palace officials have made large sums of
money recently by buying and selling
Turkish securities at the right moment
upon information received from high
sources.

PENNSYLVANIA DAY.

«Governor Hastings Delivers an Address at
the Atlanta Exposition.

ATLANTA, Nov. 15. —This Was Pennsyl-
vania day, and the streets were full of
Keystone State people who had come to
the exposition. Governor Hastings deliv-
ered an address which was enthusiastic.
ally received and of which the following
is a part:

"This is Pennsylvania day in Atlanta
and the Cotton States and International
exposition. We are‘ here by your invita-
tion, and we find on all sides the evidences
of your hearty welcome and your well
known hospitality. The state flags of
Georgia and Pennsylvania are intertwined
today in hearty good will. In our journey
here we crossed no sectional lines. They

 

GOVERNOR HASTINGS.

have been obliterated. They never should
have marred the map of the United
States. In the Revolutionary war Georgia
and Pennsylvania fought side by side.

I “I proclaim to you that the patriotic
heart of Pennsylvania beats as warmly
and as steadfastly for Georgia and her
sister states today as when they first unit-
ed to found a government upon the rock
of freedom.” '

Govorncr Hastings then traced the hit
tory of the Keystone State, following
with that of Georgia, stating that the lat-
ter had established the first state depart-
ment of agriculture in the land and was
the first and only free and antislave col-
ony in America and credited her with
having her code of 1799 ingrafted upon
the venerable body of English jurispru-
dence, with establishing the first female
college of the world, with receiving at her
port of Savannah the first steamship that
crossed the ocean, and of inventing the
cotton gin and sewing machine. He then
praised Pennsylvania’s wise and generous
expenditures for education and agricul-
ture and gave the statistics of her indus-
trial, operations. He said that Pennsyl-
vania had brought here a few testimonials
as an offering of friendship and closed as
follows:

”The starry banner first flung to the
breeze in Philadelphia now floats in peace
and glory over an undivided nation. We
in Pennsylvania believe: in the union of
states. We believe in a common country,
a common flag, a common Americanism,
a community of interest and patriotism.”

' DELIVERING THE INDIANA.

to the Government.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—-The Messrs.
Cramp have notified the secretary of the
navy that the battleship Indiana will be
sent to League Island navy yard at once
fully prepared for delivery to the govern-
ment. Arrangements have been made by
the navy department to place the vessel
in commission on Nov. 20, upon which
date her officers, who have been already
assigned, are to report at League island
for duty. It is probable the Indiana will
be kept on the home station for some
time, her cruising during the winter be-
ing confined to short trips along the coast
until her officers become acquainted with
her qualities. It is expected the vessel
will be formally accepted by the govern-
ment tomorrow.

The Cuban Rebellion.

MADRID, Nov. 15.—Dispatches from
Havana say that Rolofl is at Sigunca,
awaiting Maximo Gomez, who recently
entered that province, at the head of a
force of insurgents, with the intention of
advancing upon the city of Santa Clara,
the headquarters of Captain General
Campos, now preparing to give battle to
the combined rebel forces. Captain Gen-
eral Campos is now on his way to Sigun cc,
and a very important engagement is ex-
pected.

HAVANA, Nov. 15. —-A filibuster expedi-
tion has landed at Yaguas, eastern Cuba,
from Venezuela. An unknown steamer
transported the men and war material to
a spot near the coast, and they were after~
ward landed in open boats.

The Dunraven Charges.

LONDON, Nov. 15. —Regarding the Dun-
raven pamphlet and the America’s cup,
The Chronicle says: ‘-‘We admit that we
attached but little importance to the re-
vival of this controversy, but as we reread
the references to the loading of Defender
and the changing of the water line we
confess that we wish that they had never
been written. Every fair minded man
here will accept the strong repudiation of
Mr. Iselin and the syndicate having
charge of Defender.”

UNKNOWN SLOOP CAPSIZED.

Crew Clung to the Hull Until They Were
Washed Off One by One—Man on .
Shore Saw It All—Sinking of the
Oyster Steamer Confirmed.

EDGEMIRE, Rockaway Beach, Nov. 15.
-A big white sloop was seen to capsize
about a mile oflshore today. After the
sleep had capsized four men were seen
clinging to her hull. There was a high sea
running, and the big waves broke con-
stantly over the hull of the sloop.

Within a few minutes one Of the men
Was seen to lose his hold on the side of
the sleep and disappear. ‘ Shortly after-
ward another of the four men was washed
away from the vessel.

The other two clung desperately to the
side of the sloop. The surf was running
so strong that it was impossible to send
assistance from the shore.

After she capsized the sloop began to

rection away from the shore, in the direc~
tion in which the wind was blowing.

The two men who remained Were washed
away by the waves, as their comrades had
been. Their drowning was witnessed by
a number of persons on the beach.

As soon as the sloop was seen to be in.
distress a messenger was sent to notify
the life savers at the life saving station,
but before they arrived all of the men who
had been clinging to the sides of the vessel
had disappeared and the sloop had drifted
far away from the shore.

At the time when the sloop capsized
there was only one other heat in sight in
any direction, and she was unable to give
any assistance.

No one here knows the name of the lost
sloop. So far as is known, she was never
seen in this neighborhood before.

Danger at Long Branch.

LONG BRANCH, Nov. 14,—The heavy
northwest gale that has been prevailing
here fer the past 48 hours still continues.
The only damage done to the Ocean drive-
way aiid the continuous bulkhead in front
of it is at Chelsea avenue.

The driveway and bulkhead for a dis-
tnce of about 100 feet are ready to break
out at any moment.

During the night the tide was so high
that the spray from the sea went up on
the avenue, forming considerable water,
which worked its way nearly to Second
avenue.

Proprietor J. V. Jordan of the Elberon
hotel was busily engaged with a force of
men trying to save the bulkhead of the
hotel.

No Traces of the Missing Oyster Steamer.

ROCKAWAY BEACH, N. Y., Nov. 15.—
There is but little doubt that the oyster
dredging propeller James W. Boyle was
lost at a point between this place and
Coney Island point, and that the five per—
sons on board were drowned. The men
were:

Captain Peter J. McDonald, 28 years
old, of Tottenville, N. Y.

Walter B. Wood, oyster planter and the
charterer of the lost boat, 33 years Of age,
of Inwood, N. Y.

John Newberry, deckhand,
old, of Tottenville, N. Y.

John Finn, engineer, 38 years of age, of
Rondout, N. Y.

John Carroll, deckhand and cook, 40
years old, of Hoboken, N. J.

The latest information that could be
Obtained today confirms the story told by
Captain Robert H. Deakin of the ocean
tug Mutual, which towed to sea four
scows loaded with refuse from New York.
Captain Deakin's story is to the effect
that when the wind was blowing about 30
knots, and' when about three miles off—
shore, the crew of the Mutual saw the
oyster propeller James W. Boyle strug~
gling with the heavy breakers.

The sea was unusually rough, and
finally one immense wave struck the lit-
tle propeller and rushed into the open
$arboard gangway and tore off the entire

eckhouse. Captain Deakin saw that the
Boyle was in great danger and started for
her. The tug Mutual was a mile away,
and before it could cover the distance the
Boyle disappeared. .

Captain Deakin, after picking up the
scows which had been set adrift, returned
to New York and reported what happened.

Walter B. Wood was a resident of In<
wood, N. Y. A reporter called at his
house in that place today and found Mrs.
Wood almost prostrated.

She feared Mr. Wood had been drowned,
as she said he surely would have com-
municated with her had he succeeded in
reaching the shore in safety. Mrs. Wood
is left with four small children. He! hus-
band had a $10,000 interest in an exten-
sive oyster planting business and was one
of a syndicate which had chartered the
lost dredging propeller. Later reports
state that Wood was lost without doubt.

Peter J. McDonald, Jr., who was cap-l
tain of the Boyle, was a son of Captain
Peter McDonald, Sr., and lived in Totten-

40 years

part owner of the boat.
