There were- 10.000 workingmen crowded into and around the big Northwestern depot. They cheered. roared, sang, laughed, cried, and groaned. They stamped up and down tlie- platform.'! der of the engun surged against the coaches, swayed to and \ third and fourth fro, brushed aside the policemen there to hold them in check, and. in fact, went wild with the enthusiasm they were worked up to at the sight of the man they •call their hero and martyr, and who had just been released from jail, whither he Was sent by the Government of the Unit­ ed States for contempt of court, in dis­ obeying strike injunctions.

"Finally a path was cleared fpr the band which came with Debs, and it squeezed its way outside the depot and started to move south across the bridge. Then the marshals shouted again, and the parade was fairly well un­ der way to Battery P. where a grand ovation was tendered the liberated leader. Five Lose The ir L ives .

Sidney Clarke, chairman of Oklahoma's Statehood Executive Committee, has call­ ed a Statehood convention to meet at Shawnee on Dec. 4. 1 S9."i. The conven­ tion promises to be the largest and most important Statehood meeting ever held in the Territory. A strong delegation will be sent to Washington from Oklahoma and the Chickasaw nation to push the claims for Statehood. The "Pacific limited," which left Chi­ cago at 0 o'clock Sunday eviiing via the Chicago and Northwestern, Union Pa­ cific'. and Central Pacific, arrived at San Francisco at 8:4.~> Wednesday evening, re­ ducing the running: time between the two cities to practically three days, instead of three and a half. The greatest saving in time is on the Union Pacific between Omaha and Ogden, amounting to six and one-half hou^s. Major *\\ . S. Peabudy has arrived at Denver from Archuleta County, Southern Colorado, bringing specimens of ore taken from the largest vein ever discovered. The vein as described is l.(KM) feet across. The ore averages on the surface $8 to the ton. If the discovery sustains the claims of those who have been upon the ground a new gold-bearing region has been found which will eclipse anything known in the world. Senator Teller recently made a 'quiet visit to the region, and is filled with enthusiasm on the subject. He says it is "a big proposition." '"Bonnie Scotland" will continue to be presented at McVieker's Chicago Theater for another week. The play is strong in interest, plot and situations. The High­ land costumes are remarkably pictur­ esque and the scenery equally so. ' The company that is presenting the play is of exceptional ability and all the points of the play are brought out prominently. The. bag-pipers and sword dancers are a novelty and create much enthusiasm. Following ."Bonnie Scotland" Mr. Joseph Jefferson will begin his annual engage­ ment in, Chicago. "Rory of the Hill," an Irish (drama by .Tames Connor Roach, which had a six months' run at the Acad­ emy of Music. New York, will shortly be seen at Mc\ icker's Theater.

Powers Will Mulie Demands When the Fleet Is Assembled--Sultan Will Not Be Allowed to Parley--Minister Terrell's Action, GATES FOREIGN, It. is reported that Prince Henry of Battenburg has decided to join the staff of the commander of the expedition to A s ha n tee. The report of the mutiny of 170 convicts and 300 volunteers oil the steamer Cata­ lonia during her last voyage from Madrid to Havana is officially denied. Sir Henry Ponsonby, formerly private secretary to Queen Victoria and keeper o-f the privy purse, died at ( 'owes. Isle of Wight. Thursday morning of paralysis. Constantinople dispatch: The attitude of the Porte, or of the Sultan, has under­ gone a decided change since the other fleets began to join the British fleet in the naval demonstration in Salouica Bay. There is no doubt that the pressure brought to bear upon the Sultan has been strong enough to make him take personal charge of the work of reform in Armenia, and it is now hoped there will be no fur­ ther bloodshed, except in the ease of put­ ting down the insurrections which have broken out against Turkish rule in differ­ ent parts of Asia Minor. It is hoped, I however, that the Armenian clergy will be able to induce their co-religionists to lay down their arms, especially as the sen­ timent of the whole of Europe is now in favor of the Sultan, whose evident desire to meet the views of the powers is thor­ oughly appreciated and has undoubtedly tided over a most difficult crisis in the East. There is no longer any talk of the armed intervention of the powers in the Turkish Empire, and if any display of force is necessary upon the part of Eu­ rope. it might be in the direction of sup­ porting the authority of the Sultan, as Great Britain. Russia and France are extremely desirous that order should promptly be restored throughout Asia Minor. . • IN GENERAL Advices were received by the Govern­ ment at Ottawa, Out., announcing that the Imperial Government had decided to support the project of a fast mail service between Great Britain and Canada to the extent of $375,000 annually for a class of vessels with a speed capacity of twenty' knots an hour. This $.'{75,000 is to sup­ plement the $750,000 voted by the Do-, minion Parliament three sessions ago. It is understood, however, that the home Government will require the Dominion authorities to invite tenders at their ser­ vice. so that the different syndicates which have been asking permission to submit tenders- will have an opportunity of doing so. Chicago is to have a new line of rail­ road connecting it with the Pacific coast. The Canadian Pacific is building a line into the city from the Northwest to con- Massacre and Murder Continue. . A dispatch to the London Chronicle from ROme says that information has reached its correspondent to the effect that when the combined fleet of^the pow­ ers has-assembled in the Turkish waters' an ultimatum will be sent to the sublime Porte, an"! that only a short time will be allowed him in which to make a reply.. The cable received by the State Depart­ ment from Minister Terrell at Constanti­ nople stating that a •liassac'-i of Chris­ tians had taken place at Ivharput, Arme­ nia', and that ihc American--mission­ a r y p r o p e r t y h a d been destroyed was iter confirmed by.a. telegram from Bos-. ton giving another cable from Constan­ tinople addressed to tlie American Board of Foreign Missions, from Rev.,TL O. • D wight, The missionaries at Ivharput are ail from Eastern States, t, The property de­ stroyed is valued at between $75,000 and $100,000. The "telegram from Terrell said that the number killed was S00 and this is •confirmed from other sources. The .scene of the massacre is far mland and beyond the reach of a man-of-war, which would be obliged to pass the Dardanelles and enter the Black Sea to approach even the neighboring coast. It was at this very point, Ivharput, that the State Depart­ ment sought to "establish a consulate, in which purpose it has been defeated so far by the refusal of the Turkish Gov­ ernment to issue an exequatur to Mr. Hxinter. sent there from the department a.s the first consul. The latest news is siSj^alling that.in Government circles it is amatter of wonder that the European powers can longer remain inactive. The news of the destruction of American mis- j sions has started the friends of the mis ; sionaries all over the country to telegraph­ ing the State Department. Assistant Sec­ retary U'lil lias replied declaring that "nothing is being oinit.ted by the State tea River and the headquarters of the Christian population of Armenia. - The college property consisted of twelve build­ ings, .eight ol wMiicli have been looted and burned by the Turks. WOMAN'S BIBLE IN PRINT. Part First Seems Little Less than a Handbook of Ifa^deKty. Religious and social circles are much worked up over part 1 of the woman's, bible, which has just been published. A correspondent says that an inspection of advance sheets of this work shows it to be little less than a handbook of infidel- rtj- It ridicules, the biblical story of the creation, denies that God ever talked di- rectly.with any man, strips the patriarchs oi their lialos, and denounces Moses as a common fakir." Indeed, Moses eoujd not. have fared worse in the book if Col. I ngersoll had written it. The style is not so tlippant as he would have used, but it is none the less irreverent and blasphe­ mous. As an example of the iconoclastic tendencies of the new woman, it is some­ thing awful to contemplate. Mrs. Eliza­ beth B. Grannis says the book will be'a decided detriment to the cause of woman suffrage. Mrs. Anna H. Shaw says it is the brilliant effusion of prejudiced women.' ^. r ' <^osol>l1 | H- Rylance says' the'verfr-title of'the book is ridiculous and is a mere cloak for a bitter attack upon Chris­ tianity. - • Elizabeth Cady Stanton is the,head and front of the woman's bible enterprise.

Phoebe Hanaford, Clara Be­ wick Colby, Ellen Battelle Dietrick, Ur-^ sula N. Gestefeld, Mrs. Louisa South- work and Frances Ellen Burr. The metli- j od of work adopted by these.leaders of the new woman movement is described by Mrs. Stanton in the preface as follows: "Each person purchased two bibles, ran through them from Genesis to Revela­ tions, marking all the texts that con­ cerned women. The passages were out out and pasted in a blank book and the commentaries then written underneath." The feminine audacity of this plank is not apt to commend itself to theological students. The international committee on the revision of the bible labored twenty years before their work was anywhere near completion. GOLDEN CURRENT TO EUROPE. Department inv the direction of appropri­ ate and energetic action." In this con­ nection a cable from Marseilles, France, says the cruiser San Francisco has sailed for Turkish .waters. When it first became apparent that a disturbance was imminent the American missionaries at Ivharput applied for pro­ tection to Mr, Terrell. The latter called personally at the Porte and sent several notes on the subject to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, insisting that the Turk­ ish officials should protect the American missionaries and notifying the Sultan and his ministers they would be held responsi­ ble for the safety of the missionaries. In view of these representations the Turkish officials promised to protect the lives of the missionaries and detailed gendarmes to guard their property. The American and other missionaries at Bit- j nect with its Soo Line at Lake Superior, lis have been compelled to return to V; SOUTHERN. EASTERN. The British steamer James Turpie, Captain Smith, which sailed from Genoa on Nov. 0 for New York, has arrived at Gibraltar seriously damaged, having Been in collision with the Vulcan off Cape Geta, Spain. The Vulcan sank and two 6f her crew were drowned. Famous old Christ Church, at Phila­ delphia, has commenced the celebration of thte 200th anniversary of its founda­ tion. At the opening of the services Rev. Dr. C.

Kelley, a young white man, ten days ago, was taken from the jail at Wartburg, Tenn., and lynched. John Montgomery, his wife and D. B. MeKeeoher were found murdered on the farm of S. O. Teinpietoii, three miles east of Brownesville, Ore. All three of the victims had been, shot with a rifle. No motive is at present known for the crime. As Foreman Lonnon, of Joliet, 111., star-ted down the Hartz mine, three miles from Eagle T*ass, Texas", an "explosion occurred in some unknown manner. It has been impossible for rescuers to enter the mine on account of the gas, but it is supposed that Lennon is dead. Fortu­ nately no miners were in the mine at the time. I nited States Marshal, Kilbourn and three deputies made an extensive raid on moonshiners in Wise County, Virginia, just over the Kentucky line, destroying a dozen illicit stills, with a capacity of 2.000 gallons. In a tight between' the officers and moonshiners three of the lat­ ter were seriously wounded and one offi­ cer received a painful allot in the mouth: W ednesday morning a tenement-liouse -at South Pittsburg,.

Grading, put­ ting down ties and laying iron tire now in progress, and the work will be pushed to completion with all possible energy. These operations are being conducted in the quietest manner and in a way not to at­ tract attention. The work is being done apparently under other auspices than those of the Canadian Pacific, and in such a way as to permit the management of that road to deny diplomatically all con­ nection with the new enterprise until it is ready for actual operation, and even then it is likely to b" operated under a different corporate name and organization. All the same, the Canadian Pacific is back of the enterprise and wili furnish all the means necessary to build it which cannot be ob­ tained in other directions or in a way which will not interfere with the Cana­ dian Pacific's control of the property when it is ready for operation.

The Sultan is said to be alarmed to the verge of insanity at the assembling of the foreign fleet at Salouica Bay, and it is Sums Paid for Fore ign Ti t l e s With in •a Quarter o f a Century . Within a quarter of a century Ameri­ can heiresses have conveyed to European aristocrats in the form of marriage settle­ ments the vast aggregate of $100,153,000, or an average of $0,040,120 a year. More than half this total has gone within the last ten yOars. so that the recent drain from that source lias been much greater in proportion than the average for 1he twenty-five years. Nearly one-sixth of the total, or $25,000,000, has gone within the yiHir irtiw approaching its end. Miss Anrrrrfiould. now Countess de Castellane, carried off $15,000,000. Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, now Duchess of Marlborough, takes $5,000,000 with her. and Miss Mary Loiter, now the Hon. Mrs. O. N.

ANI) MRS. GATES Chicago Miss ionar ies a t Ktrarput , Armenia , in Per i l . No tidings have been received from Ivharput, Armenia, relative to Rev. and Mrs. C. Frank Gates, Chicago mission­ aries, whose lives are thought t° be in danger from the Turks. Mr. Gates is president of Euphrates College, which lias been parjly destroyed. The college is a Congregational institution, organized and dodien.ted inT878.--Up to 1893-k-Wiis presided over by Rev. C. H. Wheel­ er, D. D., its foun­ der. In 1893 Dr. Wheeler retired and Mr. Gates was appointed p re s i - dent. The college is one of co-educa­ tion, and the atten- d a -H e e numbers, yearly, from 000 to 1,000. It is the largest and most important educational institutiah in Alia Minor, and lias been most successfully conducted by missionaries of the Congre­ gational church. Ivharput, the seat of the college, is a populous town on the Euphra- UKV, GATES. riages of this ki;ul occurred previous to twenty-five years ago. This fact may be variously accounted for. There were less large fortunes in this country before than since the war; there were less facili­ ties for association among the people of opposite sides of the ocean, and, may be, the women of the earlier period were more patriotic than those of the present day. It is possible that there were more mar­ riages for love and fewer for mercenary considerations then than now, which would also be a factor in any statistical record of the subject One thing is-cer­ tain, that the marriages between Ameri­ can >vomen and European men during the earlier period of the century were without the financial consideration which is now as conspicuous a feature as it is in buying a house or a parrot. It mny be added -t hat there is oiriy one weTl-knowiT American who has married a European woman of noble family. Reassuring. An American tourist in Switzerland, Who was about to make the ascent of a mountain, thought best to ask some questions'as to tlie capabilities of his guide. "Is lie a thoroughly skillful cUuiUerV" he asked of a hotel-keeper. "I should say so!" exclaimed the inn­ keeper. "He has lost two itai^ies of tourists down the-mountainside, and escaped without a scratch both \imes-" PLUMED TO DEATH. MOTOR CAR DASHES THROUGH ' A DRAW AT CLEVELAND. Mjany Persons Drowned--Precipitated 100 Feet Into the Water--Motorman Blames the Conducto.-^for the Acci­ dent--The Latter- Am®g the J)ead. Fifteen Bodies Recovered. In Cleveland, Ohio, -a south-bound Jen­ nings avenue trolley car, packed with men, women and children, plunged through tlie open draw of the Central via­ duct at 8 o'clock the other night. It shot into space with the rapidity of a bullet from a gun. For one brief moment it re­ mained poised in the air. Then it turned'" over on its forward end and plunged headlong 100 feet down 'into the dark waters of the Cuyahoga River. One wild shriek came from the interior of- the car, which was cut off as the car struck the upright piling below. There came a crash of splintering wood and shivering glass and then all was still as the shat- terod car, with its load of human freiglit, disappeared beneath tlie waters of the river. Fifteen bodies have been recov­ ered and identified. The motorman, "Cap" Rogers, and two passengers,- aware of. their impending 1 ate, leaped from the car just as it reach­ ed the abutment. The test- of the pas­ sengers and the conductor had no warn­ ing until the car launched out into space and tookr its awful plunge. With one exception they weteeithec dashed to death T">y contact with the piling or w6re- drowned as the car slid off'into the water. The Exception was. Patrick Loole.y, who in some manner extricated himself from the wreck ahd was picked up by a passing tug. He was in a frightful condition when rescued. 11 is skull was fractured and he was injured internally, llis aw­ ful experience had rendered him almost childish and he jabbered like an idiot as he was conveyed to the hospital. Got the S igna l to Go Ahead. Rogers, the motorman of the car, was arrested at his home, 1497 Cedar avenue, and was held in $5,000 bail to await the result of the coroner's inquest. When taken into custody he said: "The conductor went ahead and turned the switch, giving me the signal to come ahead. T supposed that everything was all right and did not notice that the draw was open. I suppose 1 was deceived by the fact that the electric lights in the rear car did not go out when we passed the cut-off in the current. When .1 dis­ covered that the gates to the draw were closed, I jumped from my car. falling on the edge of the bridge and barely escaped rolling over. The bridge-was open to allow the pass­ age of the tug CTcn Campbell and her tow, the lumber barge Abrahi Smith, through the draw. Danger signals were set, and the gates were down. The bridge had swung partly open when the car ap­ proached. There was no slackening of the speed until foot passengers on the bridge shouted a warning to the motor- man. Then he seemed to make some slight effort to shut off the current, but there was no iliminuit-krfT of speed. ROYAL BABY IN RUSSIA. 4= Princess Born to the.CznJr's Family-- Her Name Is Olga, A daughter was born to the Czar and Czarina Friday. Both mother and child are doing well. Services connected with the birth of the infant were held ir( ac­ cordance Avith the rites of the orthodox Greek church. The baby has been named Olga. The Czarina was born at Darmstadt, Hesse, June 0, 1872. She was the Priiicess Alix Victoria Louise".Beatrice of Hesse, and was married to Czar Nicholas II. '^ov. 20, 1894. In accordance with the laws of Russia, and by manifesto issued by Czar Nicholas on.the 21st day of Octo­ ber (old style), 1894, she was renamed Alexandre Feodorovna and. received the title of grand duchess and imperial high­ ness. „ , Princess Alix was the daughter of Grand Duke Louise IV. of Hesse, and of" Alice, princess of Great Britain and Ire­ land, third child and second daughter of Queen Victor ia . When Princess Alix AUTHOR OF "AMERICA" DEAD. VencrableDr . Smith o f Koston Expires in a Depot . Dr. S. F. Smith, of Newton, the venera­ ble author of "America." died in Boston the other afternoon from heart failure. He was in the corridor of the New En­ gland depot and was awaiting the depar­ ture of a train when he sunk to the tloor in a semi-conscious condition and only spoke a few inarticulate words after­ ward. I)r. Smith was dead when the ambulance arrived at the hospital. He DR. S. F. SMITH had been very feeble for some time, but was able to appear out as usual. The Rev. Samuel F. Smith, 1). D.. author, poet and linguist, was born Oct. 21, 1808, at Boston. Mass. Me was grad­ uated from Harvard College in 1829 and immediately began studying for the min­ istry at Andover 'Theological .Seminary, from which institution he was graduated in 18.'!2. During his course at college lie acquired four different languages. In 18.'54 he was ordained a minister in the Baptist Church. His published volumes have been many and his articles for stand­ ard reviews without count. The national anthem, which made him famous. i-> by far the most popular of his productions. No insulator of magnetism is known. "K ILL E IGHT HUNDRED. Tcrr ib ie S laughter o l Chr i s t ians by Mussnln ia i i s a t Karpoot . About 800 persons were massacred by the Mussulmans at Karpoot and eight out of twelve buildings belonging to the American missions were sacked and burn­ ed. The missionaries, however, escaped.' The news from the different provinces of Asia Minor continues to be grave, con­ firming beyond doubt the impression which has prevailed for a long time past that the movement has now assumed proportions which have placed it beyond the control of the Turkish authorities, even if the latter were really desirous of punishing the Mussulmans for massacre- ing Armenians. In fact, it is considered very doubtful whether the Turkish troops would tire on Mussulmans if they should be ordered to do so. It is now shown that there are SOO vic­ tims of the Karpoot massacre, and that eight of the twelve buildings belonging to the American missionaries there were sacked and burned, in spite of the assur­ ances of the Porte to the United States Ambassador, Alexander W. Terrell, that the lives and property of the Americans would be protected, a'nd although it was announced that Turkish gendarmes had been detailed to guard the mission. The American missionaries, however, escaped, and are now in a place of safety. Mr. Terrell has notified the Porte that thai United States will hold.it responsible for the lives of the missionaries. This outbreak is regarded as being very signifieant, and as indicating that a sys­ tematic campaign is being directed from Yildiz Kiosk against all Christians, and not against the Armenian Christians in particular, as has generally been be­ lieved to be the case. This puts quite a different and more serious complexion upon the wholg matter, and is a feature which- will immediately attract the at­ tention of the powers, even if it has not already done so. •, . • . < mm THE CZARINA" OF BT'SSTA. was but 12 years of age and while in at­ tendance at the wedding of her sister Eliz­ abeth she met Nicholas, then the duke, who was in his sixteenth year. The chil­ dren became attached to each other, but the Czarowitz's affection for the Princess was diverted for some time. Six years later her father made a visit to the Rus­ sian court, accompanied by Princess Alix, and her presence in the Russian -capital was the means of renewing their liking for each other, but as the Princess w-as then an ardent Lutheran, the question of having to become a member of the ortho­ dox Greek church had to be considered.' Owing to the ill health and subsequent death of the Czar, Alexander III., the marriage of Princess Alix and Nicholas was hastened. Concessions, such as never before secured in embracing the orthodox faith, were obtained fronl the holy synod. The Princess was not re­ quired to declare her former religion to be accursed, nor that her coil version was due to the conviction that the truth lies not with her own, but with.the Russian church. The holy synod was satisfied with the simple declaration that the Princess joined the Creek church in order to be of the same religion as her hus­ band. A PRACTICAL CHARITY. Wil l iam Ste inway's Truck Farm Has Hone Much for New York ' s Poor . No charity has done more for the poor of New York City than the truck garden established by William St-einway, the well-known millionaire and philanthrop­ ist, on Long Island, says a correspondent. Mr. Steinway's plan has excited wide­ spread interest among philanthropic peo­ ple. who had some doubts as to the prac­ ticability of the scheme, but it has proved a success, even beyond the most san­ guine hopes of its benefactor. 'There are, in all, now L'70 acres belong­ ing to Mr. Steinway under cultivation, and so great have been the benefits of the plan that it is Mr. Steinway's intention next spring to donate the use of 2<K) ad­ ditional acres of his own, to say nothing of the acreage to be placed at the dis­ posal of the associated charities by gen­ tlemen who. through Mr. Steinway's in­ fluence, have been induced to follow his course. The crop raised on this tract includes potatoes, which are the chief product; cabbage, beans and peas--quite a variety nf vegetables, when the reader bears in mind how close the land is to one of the greatest markets in the world. The sum of $4,001) was originally expended for the purchase of tools and seeds. The value of the first year's crop is $11,000. The garden work is largely done by children and the old and decrepit among the poor families, who avail themselves of the op­ portunity. From the cultivation of Mr. Steinway's land enough has been derived this year to support 200 families, or fully 1.U00 people. ARTIST GIBSON'S ROMANCE. Strunce Meet in ir wi th the Woman Whom He Made Kis Wife . With the marriage in Richmond, Ya.. of Artist Charles Dana Gibson ,with Miss Irene Langhorne, one of those romances . that seem to properly belong to thoSlV'stOTles"' beginning "Once upon a time a beautiful princess," etc., came to a happy con­ clusion. Ten years ago Gibson persuaded the humorous paper, Life, to pay him $2 for a drawing. That was his start in New York. What Life wanted at that time was pretty girls, and pretty girls were what Mr. Gibson was simply yearn­ ing to draw. Little by little a young lady, first known as the "American girl," and sub^ sequently as the "Gibson girl," began to be a well-known figure in prominent weekly and monthly magazines. When asked, as he often was, who this beauti­ ful unknown was, Mr. Gibson used to laugh and say she was a dream. Mr. Gibson used to believe that his unknown beauty did not exist, but none the less, MISS IREXC. I.AXGHOITXE, NOW "GIBSON'S GIHI.." Pygmalion-like, he worshiped his own creation. Just a year ago at the horse show Mr. Gibson came very near having a para­ lytic "stroke, for, as lie was turning the corner by the boxes* he almost ran into the living, breathing reality of his ar­ tistic vision. It was Miss Langhorne, a irginia belle. An introduction followed and Mr. Gibson prosecuted his suit fff=" deiitly and successfully. Herman Stratrfian, a slianty-boai her­ mit; was found dead beside the.railroad track at Znnesville, Ohio, He had been run down by a night train and had bled to death with no one near.
