The earthquake hock which jarred , the
whole Interior of the United States a few
$ / k mlnutcs after 5 o'clock yesterday morning
was plainly felt In Omaha , though It was
4 not eo severe as to wake many of those who
'
were asleep. The terranean wave male just
the slightest heglnnlng at raIsing buildings ,
. \ closed a few open doors. set chandeliers and
' wal pictures to vibrating , jarred windows
and then subsided .
Those who had had before a touch of earth-
Quake at once recognized the motion the
land was taking on , \vhle the explanations of
the phenomenon by those whose experience
V fell short of this were varied , and In view
of the big fact , somewhat amusing. } las
. Osh , the attendant at the morgue , had hut
. ; a lIttle before awakend , and hearing the
rumhlng noise , said to himsel that the duck
shooters at Cut.or lake had got an early
start. Landlord Davenport of the Merchant
turned somewhat confusedly over In his bed
I and determln that the porter had beeb
,
dragging an unusually heavy trunk throIbdt
I the hal all uncommonly close 10 his door.
.1 Down stairs Night Clerk 11 was sitting still
In a rocking chair all all at once found him-
.Ji self rocking . lie looked up at the chandu-
! hers and , found they were swinging slightly ,
and hy the time he had pinched himself wel
the porter came : down to assure him that
the building had actually been jarred as If
by heavy thunder.
' Nat raly the phenomenon was most nD
tcell by thobe who happened to be In the
top stories oC the higher buildings. The
late night force In The nee building tel
the building raise slightly . and incline east-
ward and then tall lack , and a moment later
the movement was repeated. The same thing
was observed In the operating room of the
Western Union Telegraph comlany. ,
Citizens say that this was not Omaha's
1 first earthquake experience. I Is told that
_ . _ % . . since 1867. when Chris Hartman , while talkIng -
Ing with hilly Shul , was made by a powc.r
' beneath him to reel around the jam of a
clothing store door on lower l aram street
I the city has a number of times trembled oil
I account of selsmatc disturbances though the
shocks were so aught that the.y have been
t almost forotten.
' c CHICAGO , Oct. 31.-A distinct earthquake
- shock visited Chicago at 6J : ; o'clock this
10rnlng , lasting for about ffy-fvl seconds.
No damage was . done , but In many houses
: IJlctures were thrown to the floor and crock-
cry broken. The shock wes unaccompanied
by any audible rumbling. coming In gently
from the lake and disappearing across the
prairies to the west. I was most severely
tolt on the north side where probably the
majorIty of sleepers were awakened. In the
WOolEI holses oC Buena park and other north
Ide : suburbs the shaking up \\'as so percep-
tibia that many persons dashed out of their
houses In scanty clothing. During the shock
and for several hours aCer the electricity In
the atmosphere was more than oppressive to
IJerSons oC a nervous temperament.
Speaking of the selsmatc disturbances last
night , a northslder , who , passed ) through the
Charleston earthquake nine YEars ago said :
"I felt the shock last night and recognized
It immediately. I equaUed In force the forerunner -
runner of the South Carolina shaking up ,
which by the way occurred , about the same
day at the week and at the same hour , and
In ( lie same quarter of the moon. My bed
\ last night was shaken tram cast to west , the
1) sensation being as though the center of dls-
turbanco was directly under the house. In ,
the Charleston earthquakes the shocks increased - I
creased In violence daily until the moon was
abolt full . when the great disturbance which I
became hIstorIc hal1penell at 9:50 : on the night
of August : t , 1886. . Scientists attributed the :
cause : 10 the fact that a shelving strata of
rock existed several hundred feet below the
surface oC tl ( affected territory and that
frequent rains hall roused the earth to set-
the anl , then slide for a short distance. The

CONSTANTINOPI.E ' , Oct. 31.-A sensatIon
has bean caused here by the report , generally
believed to be correct , that three Armenian
notabites of Treblzorll , Including a prominent -
nent ecclesIastic , are to be executed because
It Is aleged that they are responsible for the
recent rioting there.
According to statements made In Armenian
cIrcles about 80 Armenians were killed durIng -
Ing the fighting at lithe with the Turks.
The loss of the latter Is said to be trifling.
Advices tram Moosh say that the leading
Armenians of that locality have been on-
ferrlng with the representative Turks of that
city and neighborhood as to the means to be
a pted In order to prevent the outbreak
,
timere of disorders sImilar to those which ha\'e
occurred recently In different parts of AI
menla , and , which have resulted In so much
bloojshed.
I .Is added that the Turks stipulated that
the American missIonaries , who are dltrlbut-
ing relict to the suffering people of Sassoun ,
withdraw from thIs In three days : otherwise , ,
thin Turkish notabites claim , they fear ,
the : e will be a massacre such as has just
occurred at Ilithis.
In view or the critIcal situation of affairs
outlined above , the Unre,1 , States ambassador ,
Mr. Alexander Terrel , has advised the Annrl-
can missionaries to withdraw temporarily
trol Sassoun. At the ( same time Mr. Terrel
has notIfied the TurkIsh goverment that the
United States will hold It responsible for the (
lives of the AmerIcan missionaries. The
United States ambassador has taken a firm
stand In the mater and nothing wi be heft
'undone ' which will In any way Insure the
safety of the missionaries.
TllOlS TO IllTECT MISSIONARIES.
Time British charge d' aralres , lion. : .
lmbert. has made representations to the
Porte of a nature Identcal to Mr. Terrehi's.
The result Is that the government has decided -
cided to sand troops to protect the mission-
aries But here another complication arbes.
The Kurds ot Sassoun are only held In check
hv the nesence there of the missionaries.
I fearing to commit excesses In their presence ;
and they threatened to plunder the Armenians -
flails after the departure of the mIssionaries.
Therefore , In any case fresh troubles are
feared , unless the authorities take specIal
mcasures for the protecton ot the Arme-
nians. The mere presence there ot Turkish
troops Is tar from being a sufficient guarantee - I
tee against a repetition at Sassun of the
bloodshed which recently occurred In other
parts oC Armenia , and nothing but the most
energetIc acton , It Is asserted , can avert a I
serlou9 dIsturbance.
In vIew oC these facts the Armenian patrIarch -
trIarch has appealed to the different embas-
sies hEre to Intervene In time to prevent
another massacre. The Turkish officials In
reply again assert that all the recent out-
breaks here and In ArmenIa are nothIng more
than the work of the Ilntchek , an Armenian -
menian secrEt society , which has provoked
all the rIots.
SULTAN IS PLAYING DOUBLE.
LONDON Oct. 31.-A dIspatch to the
TImes from Constantinople 'ays : "The sultan
declnes to accept the names which the
graml vIzier has suggested for the Armenian
commission. Ho wIshes to have men who
are In his own confidence. [ \ "
A dispatch to the Daily News from Constantinople .
stantnople says that the massacre at Iarash
has cead and the missionaries are safe A
demand has been made to the Drltth embassy
and to the American legation that relief
operations at Sassoun shall cease.
The Daily News ( liberal ) In an editorial
upon the foregoing says : "Thlu Is a fresh proof
of the dslgl' entertaIned at tao palace. In
such a demand there can only bo a most
peremptory and contemptuous negative. Lord
SalIsbury's lukewarm and perfunctory refer-
encea to the Armenian question In his speech
at WalaId come at a very Inopportune mo-
ment. "
A ditP3tch to the Times from Vienna tates
that the correspondent hears on good author-
ity that the sultan is I convinced that certaIn
)
powcrs arc trying theIr utmost to Isolate
England , and that Germany will not move to
save Englanll from a diplomatc nasco.
A Vienna dispatch to the Chronicle refers
to the excitement caused there b ) the article
In the St. Petersburg Official Messenger , accusing -
cusing England of ambiguIty and double dealIng -
log In the ArmenIan question , as has already
been cabled [ to the Asrclated press. The
artIcle was prInted In the unofcial column of
the paper , but was undoubtedly Inspired bv
the Russian government , and Indicates a con-
victon that England . hu been lrlated In

Is alrzady too much cut uip 'by reservations ,
anti that the ( true policy tl pursue In the future -
tOre Is to diminish , rather than enlarge the

cupies nc.mrhy one.half oC Fremont county

winter to reduce the size at leact three-
quarters. Nearly nil thl nnp n.rlr"II. , , , 1
land l of . the county \ is h"t the ' lmmdlans ; :
and the whies feel that It Is poor policy to
kozp these lands from cultivatIon when the
Indians wilt not use thm. (
Jacklln'S ' hole comprises a large territory
of agriculural lands anti to give them up for
reservations would be poor policy for Wyol-
lng , In vIew of the ( tact that the new ord\r
of things In changing trcna range business
to general agriculture , makes a demand for
farming lands.
