DJULRA , Russia , May 7. ( Special Cor-
/espondence of the Associated Press in Ar
menia. ) The Turkish government , It Is
claimed , has just taken the preliminary steps
In what may result In a massacre of Nes-
lorlnn Christians In the mountains of Kur
distan. It Is asserted that the government
has given orders to starve the Independent
tribes of Ncstorlans In the mountain region
Immediately west ot Gawar , whchl may bo de
scribe ] as lying about midway between Mosul
and Lake Van , about fifty miles west of the
Persian frontier. The orders , It Is stated ,
are that no food suplles of any kind shall be
allowed to enter the territory of the Inde
pendent trbesl , and measures are said to have
been taken to enforce these orders to the
letter. This action is apparntly taken as a
means of compelling the Independent tribes tc
submit to the Turkish authorities and to pa >
the taxes demanded by the Turkish govern
ment , and Is regarded as the first serlout
attempt that the Turks have made to extorl
taxes from the Independent tribes.
From the car"tlmes In the history ol
the Ottoman empire these tribes have beer
Independent. Thy * l.avo paid no taxes ant
they have acknowledged no allegiance to tin
Turkish government. The present course o :
the government is taken In fome quarters ai
an Indication that the sultan has set on fee
a systematic persecution of Christians In al
parts ot the empire. The sultan has plenty o
opportunity for knowing that the Indcpenden
Nestorlans are too poor to pay taxes and tha
many of them make a living by going dowi
Into the villages of their less wretched ! ;
pdor fellow countrymen nnd begging Thes
poor creatures , acocrdlng to the story , ar
to be starved because they will not shar
with the sultan of Turkey the scraps o
bread , the refuse bits of meat and the odd
and ends which they obtain by begging
Their homes arc In a wild and bleak wilder
ness of mountain peaks and narrow , rock
valleys , where nothing will grow excep
a tuft ot broom corn hero and there In th
crevices of the rocks on the mountain side
and a fen stalks of millet In a casual squar
yard of soil In the valley.
MAY RESULT IN A CONFLICT.
It Is not difficult lo forecast the result o
the starvation of this pack of beggars , shoul
the reports turn out to bo correct. Drive
desperate by hunger , the people will cndcavc
to obtain food from Gavvcr anJ other oul'ld
districts , ajd there will be fights with Turkls
troops , the villages will bo possible attackc
and some of the wretched people will li
killed , and no man can say where the pcrsi
cutlnnlll end.
I have just returned from a Journey to th
Kurdish mountains for the purpose of Invest
gating the report that fourteen villager ha
been attacked and devastated by a riU i
Kurds last week. The original rumor had
that the Kurds had massacred many Chrl :
tlans and had carried off women and girls' t
the mountains. After riding day and nlgl
to reach the scene of the raid I at length a
rived at the Mergulver valley , which Hi
llko HIP bottom of a boat beneith hugp mom
tains coverol from bapo to summit with J
most unbroksn expanses ot snoui It was I
this valley that the raid took place. I four
that band of Kurds from the mountains ha
Indeed raided tout teen vlllagse In this valle ;
but the raid was directed against other Kun
nnd not against Christians. There were
few Ne torlan Christians living In the valU
but they wcro not molested In any vay. /
this was not a race or religious raid It wl
probably have little Interest outtlde the va
ley.
ley.I regret to say that Mr. Patton , the Brltl !
co-oul general In Tebrlz , Pers a. Is ve-y mm
In disfavor with the gentlemen who are co
ducting the Armenian revolutionary mov
ments. In spite of the fact that Mr. Patti
has been collecting evidence of the Sassoi
and Moash massacre for the use of the Brl
Ish government , the Armenians look upi
him as n spy. They may go to the length
odlng him bodily harm. The closing of tl
caravan routes to Van has rendered mo
acute the suffering from famine In the deva
tated district near Van. The only hope
relief Is now cut off ,

American workmen and will eventually rest
in .he demoralization of the wage rate.
The members of the Window Glass Woi

England a I'jrty to Until of Them llcrlni ;
Sea IteRUlatlon * and Imdemnlly to
Canadian Sealer * In the Vene
zuela Hoamlnry Dispute ,
WASHINGTON , June 9. Secretary of State
Olney Is expected to take the oath of ofllce
tomorrow. There will be no undue haste ,
however , on the part of the new chief of the
State department. Mr. Olney has given much
close study to the larger law questions be
fore his department , and It will take some
time for him to put the work aside and for
the new attorney general to grow Into It.
Mr. Olney , moreover , Is equipped" In rdvance
for the duties of his new cilice , as he has
been consulted constantly during the last year
on the \arlcus complications over Venezuela ,
Nicaragua , Bering sea , the Waller case , for
eign tariff retaliation , the Japanese-Chinese
troubles , Spain's conflict with Cuba and the
lesser questions In which the United States
has been brought Into relation with the rest
of the world.
The last year has been unusualy fruitful
In foreign complcaltlons. Some of these were
closed by Mr. Graham , or advanced to such
a state that they will not require much atten
tion , among' them the British-Nicaragua In
cident. In which the United Stateo aided
toward a settlement , the Papan-Chlna treaty
of peace , which was affected as a result of
kindly Intervention by the United States ,
and the friction with Hawaii as the result ol
the demand for the recall of Minister Thurs-
ton.
ton.With
With Great Britain there are two ques-
tlcns of special Importance to be adjusted ,
viz Those affecting Uerlng sea and the Ven
ezuela boundary. A Bering sea conference
will be held In Washington In October next ,
Sir Julian Pauncefote having affected the
preliminary arrangements with Mr. Gresham
The purpose Is to draft a new treaty , by
which the claims of Canadian sealers foi
alleged seizures and losses will be submits :
to a commission. The conference will nol
take up the more Important question of re
adjusting the Bering sea regulations In ordei
to make them effective This will come latei
and promises to call out a vigorous legal ant
diplomatic controversy
KNOTTY PROBLEM TO SOLVE.
The British-Venezuela question Is malnlj
significant In Involving the Monroe doctrine
The United States has asked Great Brltali
to arbitrate the question. So far as Is knovvi
no definite answer has been given to Am
bassador Bayard , who presented the reques
of this country , but as the British forelgi
ofllco has positively declined to consider slm
liar requests by Pope Leo nnd by the Inter
national Arbitration association. It Is no
doubted that In due time a declination wll
come to the United States It will then re
main for the State department to determln
to what exlen Brllsh aggression In Venezueli
Is compalblc with the Monroe doctrine. Mi
Gresham had made a special study of th
subject , regarding Is as of more Importanc
than any of the foreign questions under con
slderatlon Mr Olney was called Into confer
ence , and for several weeks prior to his se
lection for secretary of state , he was bus ;
Investlgatli g this complicated question. I
Is probable a definite Issue will be reache
wlen Ambassador Bayard sends Great Brit
aln's answer.
With France the only question of cense
quenca pending Is as to the Imprisonment c
ex-Consul General Waller. Ambassador Eus
tls has been Instructed to make Inqulrle
with a view to securing for Waller all th
rights of an American citizen abroad , In
eluding a trial by a civil court.
Germany , Austria and Denmark are havln
numerous tariff complications with th
United States , which threatened at one tlm
to bring about a radical retaliation by thl
country. The readjustment has proceeJe
largely through the State department , Gei
many and Denmark continue their excluslo
of American meats , but there arc prospecl
that a satisfactory settlement will bee :
fected. The discriminating duties levle
1 against the beet sugars of Germany nn
Austria brought on the conflict , and Denmar
followed the lead of her Influential neighbor
SPAIN HAS A CLAIM.
The Cuban revolution promises to be
source of controversy with Minister Dupu
do Lome , who has caused the State depar
ment to apprehend tliose sending arms I
Cuba , and the suggestion Is made that Spa I
will make a claim on the United State
based on the precedent of the Alabarr
claims. Officials are not solicitous , hov
ever , as to this claim , and the Intimation
made tbat It Is Inspired by British liourci
and out of resentment for the Alabama d
clslon.
Italy and the United tSates are expects
to arrive at a saclsfactory settlement ci
long , concerning the murder of a numbi
of Italians In Colorado. It Is understo :
Secretary Gresham regarded the offenses i
such an Infringement of International rlgh
that he Inaugurated negotiations for tl
payment of cash Indemnities to the famlll
of the deceased Italians. This step ,
consummated , will be In addition to tl
steps taken by the authorities of Colorado
prosecute the offenders.
The only subject of consequence pendtt
with Russia Is that concerning the amelior
tlon of the onditlon of the Jews.
The United States has taken little pa
In the Armenian question , which Is provo
Ing a conflict between Turkey and the Eur
peon powers.
One of the first acts of Mr. Olney w
probably be that of recognizing the new go
ernmcnt of Ecuador , which has come In
power after a Moody revolution. There a
no pending questions with other South
Central American countries , save that
which Venezuela Is Involved.

South Twenty-ninth street , shot at ami In
stantly killed a > oung ninn named Clmppull.
ono of the agents for tlic Singer Manufactur
ing company In this city.
She did tlio killing while resisting the at
tempt of Clmppell to outrugo her.
About a month ago Mr . Isli bought a sowIng * -
Ing innclilno from tills agent , but It did network
work right and she found It necessary to call
him a number of times to git It In order.
Thrco or four da > s ngo , while , on ono of
tlieao errands , ho made an Indecent proposal
to her , but she did not tell her husband ,
through fear , she sajs.
Saturday Clmppell was called again , but did
not come until last evening. When Mrs Isli
saw him coming she called to her husbind ,
who was In his mother's yard , n few doors
away , and Chappell and Isli entered the
hous.0 together.
HR WAS SOON DHAD.
Chappell after some convocation wont Into
the front bed room , where the machine was ,
and Ish went down cellar after some kindling.
When In the room with Mrs. Ish Chappell
repeated hla Indecent proposal and on taking
hold of Mrs. Ish she began to flght him , at
the tame time calling for help.
Immediately Chappell drew from his hip
pocket a revolver , but Mrs. Ish snatched | t
from him and Ilr oil every chamber at him.
Just nt this moment Ish , who had heard Ills
wlfe'o cries , came running Into the room ,
having first secured his own revolver , anil
his wife snatched this from his ham ) and
fired four more shots at her assailant.
Ho fell to the floor , slic't In four places la
the neck and directly over thu , heart and
died Instantly.
MUS ISH IN CUSTODY.
Mr. Ish then ran to Clark's drug store near
by and notified the police and coroner. The
body waa taken to the morgue and Mrs. Iih
placel In custody.
She was formerly Mlffl Mublo Huger of
I'remont and had been marrcJ almost three
vears.
At the pollco e > tatlon Mrs. Isli , vvhllo cvl-
Lcntly under a great strain , related the cir
cumstances of the assault and of the shoot
ing with much composure. She exhibited a
rent In her dress just behind the right shoul
der , showing the violence with which Chap
pell had lalJ hands on her.
WAS DESPERATELY FRIGHTENED.
She said that she could not wait even for
her husband to run up stair.owing to the
ivvful porll she was In , and the shooting was
done In sheer desperation to protect herself.
She says that she could not tell how man/
shots she fired , and that nothing was said
by Chappell after the nrlng began.
Evidently the fatal shot was from her
husband's revolver , for Chappell was still
standing and had seized a chair to strike
her when Ish entered the room. Ho had
not tlino to realize tlio situation when hU
wife grabbed his revolver and completed the
work.
