London Times Expresses the Ifope that the
( , ' cx-I.lbornl Leader In the House Will

Can Carry.
LONDON , July 14. Sir William Vernon
ilarcourt'B detent In Derby was the sensa
tion In political circles tonight. It Is admlt-
Icd on all sides that the liberals are begin
ning to feel very badly. Of 110 members
thus far elected , ninety-six are unionists , ten
liberals and four Parnellltes. Eight liberal
Beats have been captured by the unionists
nnd Iho radicals have captured one union-
Isl teal , that at Perth. As far as outward
appearances go , the cltcllons are causing ,
llllle excllemenl In London. T1iere > are a
few Idlers in Slrand , where Ihe Graphic dis
plays a representation of Lord Salisbury and
Lord Rosebery climbing ladders to Indicale
the course of c'ectlon returns.
The moral effect of Sir William Harcourt's
defeat will be great , as even the most san
gulno conservative did not expect a liberal
majority of 1,900 to be converted Into a
unionist majority of 1,100 While Sir Wil
liam Harcourt fared to badly , Hon. A. J.
Balfour , the new first lord of the treasury ,
who Is to succeed Sir William as leader of
the House of Commons , nearly doubled his
majority In Manchester After the result hail
been announced In Derby at midnight , Sir
William Hurcourt , with his wife , drove to
the liberal "headquarters and made a speech ,
saying he- had been defeated too often to be
either elated If successful or depressed by a
defeat. Bui he did nol wish lo conceal Ihe
magnllude of Ihe defeat which had fallen
upon his colleagues and himself. Sir Wil
liam Ilarcourt'B defeat Is general atlrlbuted
to the prominence which he gave to the local
veto , or local option measure.
The Sunday Observer ( unionist ) points oul
tliat yesterday's return of unopposed candi
dates are as significant as the result of con
tested election Seventy-six beats had been
handed over to the unionists vvlthoul a fight ,
while the liberals were allowed to retain only
five uncontcsted seats The M'arnelllte tolal
of unofficial relurns has been Increased lo
four by the unconteslcd election of John
Daly , from Limerick , Thus the McCarthy-
llea have yielded wllhout contest a seat
vvlhlch they were In actual possession of
Judged both by the result of the contest and
the numbers which the radicals had allowed
to go by default , there can bo bul llllle doubl
of Ihe final resull.
T. P. O'Connor's Sun says thai yeslerday's
resulls were a keen disappointment , but that
It does not follow by any means that the
& whole country Is going against them
"The substllullon of a popinjay like llie
marquis of Lcrnc , " Ihe Sun goes on to say ,
"for a politician so esteemed and a man of
science so honored as Sir Henry Roscoe \n \
discreditable to Mancliebter. "
Tomorrow llfly more seats will bo decided ,
Including many In London.
The Times this morning , In Us comment
upon the election , says that the first batch
of conlebts reduced the radical majority to
half at a. single blow. The more strikingly
Important Incident of Saturday Is the cru h-
ing defeat of Sir William V. Harcourt. The
unionists will throw themselves v.ith re
doubled ardor Into the struggle which hao
already been crowned with encouraging suc
cess. The opposition will bo scarcely able to
shake off the depression caused by the wholly
unexpected defeat of their loader. The Times
proceeds with the hope thai Sir William
Harcourl will find anolher seal , as the un'on-
Ists-vvlll be sorry to miss his presence from
the HOUEO of Commons , ot which he is an
ornament ,
The article dwells upon the fact that the
liberal unionists have gained three seats and
says these gains sufficiently vindicate the
Vitality of the liberal unionists and the value
of the close alliance they have entered Into
with the conservatives. It concludes that
there is the strongest motlvo and encourage
ment to make the most of the present oppor
tunity , which , If rightly used , may enable
them once for all to sweep the home rule
Imposture out of English politics.
SOME LITTLE CONSOLATION.
The Dally News , the liberal organ , says of
the elections "A closer examination of
Saturday's figures makes them less discour
aging than they would seem. The result
In Derby surprised even the local torl ° s
Sir William Hurcourt and his colleague
were floated out on beer In other constitu
encies the efforts of publicans and brewers ,
with the alliance ot the militant section ol
the clergy , contributed largely to the same
result. There Is plenty of cause for the
lories' triumph , but there Is little cause for
liberal dlscouragemenl and none w halter
for despair. We are used lo a bad begin
ning. There Is nol a step of liberal pro
gress which Is not taken over the stepping
stones of defeat. "
The Chronicle ascribes the liberal defeat
In Lancashire * to Ihe scandalous misrepre
sentations of the government's policy on the
Indian cotton duties which were made In
f 't leaflets sent broadcast through Ihe country.
The Chronicle says"We congratulale Iho 3
unionists upon having drawn first blood at 3t t
the empire's cost. They have played anti-
Imperial and antl-nallonal games for votes
of liberals and have failed to win two feats ,
owing In pome measure to the action of the
Independent labor party and the socialist
federation , who gained no result for them
selves. Their polls were small and con
temptible "
Iho Standatd , the conservative organ , see
In the result a remarkable testimony to the
growth of conservative sentiment In the
large towns. Archbishop Walsh wrote a
letter , which was r ° ad In all the Dublin
churches yesterday asking for prayers thai
the spirit of dissension may be banished , am' '
that the only prospect of the country Is
national ruin and disgrace if an end is nol

Henry Benhayon , Mrs. Bowers' brother ,
charged that his sister had been killed by
her husband to secure $15,000 Insurance.
After conviction he remained In Jail nearly
two years , pending a desperate legal fight In
his behalf. Then came the suicide of Henry
Bonhayon , the principal witness , who left a
confession completely exonerating Dr. Bow
ers. Benbayon said he himself had com
mitted the crime , Intending to get rid of
Bowers also , and obtain the life Insurance.
loiter a man named Dlmmlg was arrested
and tried for the murder of Benhajon. The
theory was that Benhayon had been murdered
In the interest of Bowers and that a forged
confession had teen placed by the body. Dlm
mlg was acquitted and Dr. Bowers was then
dismissed. It was shown In the trial that
Bowers had been very attentive to Miss Bird
and had promised to marry her six months

VAN , Armenia , May 21 ( Special Corre
spondence of the Associated Press ) The
Sasoun massacre , It would appear , was one of
the most carefully planned outrages In his
tory. The ev'dence ' of this Is circumstantial
only , but It Is alleged It Is conclusive Dur
ing the months of June , July and Augtnt pre
ceding the Sassoun massacre , the Kurdish
chiefs In the country surrounding the Sas-
ioun region , and particularly the districts to
he southward and southwestward , were ap
arontly unusually busy in gathering up the
icattered warriors of their tribes for an in
aslon of the Sassoun region. In July and
Vugust enormous quantities of petro-
cum were shipped from Erzeromn
Moosh. This petroleum ta'i'e orlg-
nally from Rusla , and to gr = it
, vaa the quantity brought over the mountain
oads that it was a subject of remark to very
many persons. For a time it lotkeJ as thcugh
othlng went-over the road between Erzeroum
nd Moosh but petroleoum It Is a fact Moosh
oes not use a great quantity of petroleum
.lerself , nor do her merchants sell much of
t to the surrounding country. In the villages
; andles of sheep fat oil are used for light1"
iVhat Moosh wanted with those countless
ans of petroleum was a mystery.
But the mystery was a mystery no longer
after the Sasscun massacre , for that petro-
, eum was used to burn the houses of the Sas-
, oun villages and to cremate the bodies of the
wretched villagers who fell victims to the
awful butchery. In burning the houses the
etroleum was thrown upon the woodwork
n generous quantities and set on fire , with
, ho result that everything that could burn
went up In smoke. In cremating the dead
he bodies were In many cases placed be-
ween layers of wood and built up Into a
sort of funeral pile. The entire mass wa
hen saturated with petroleum and set on
fire.
BURNED THE LIVING.
It Is charged that living men were cremitnl
n the same way. But this * aj a. merciful
way of putting the unfortunate creatures tr
death , in comparison with tortures Inflicted
upon many others
The massing of troops near the Sassoun
region , and particularly at Moosh , was car
ried on for some time before the beginning
of the massacre , in order that everything
might be In readiness according to the pro
gram said to have been carefully made out
at Constantinople
Several weeks after the Sassoun massacre ,
t Is claimed , orders were sent from the
palace at Constantinople for the massacre
of the inhabitants of Modlkan , a district
ylng to the south and southeast of Sas-
soun , but when it was seen that an Investiga
tion of the massacre at Sassoun was Inev-
table , the order. It is eald , was recalled
and Modlkan was not molested , except In
the ordinary course of the persecution gen
eral in all parts of Armenia.
In the city of Van at this moment there
are 500 young men sworn to give themselves
as a sacrifice to Turkish butchery In the
hope that the attention of England may be
more strongly called to the desperate situ
ation of their people. The Armenians can
not accept anv scheme of reform which
does not have for its fundamental principles
the absolute control of the European pow
ers Unless Europe controls the reforms
there will be a massacre of 20,000 Christians
n the city of Van within three months
The Armenians themselves vslll bring this
about rather thin be cist adrift by their
fellow Chilstlans of the west There Is no
language quite adequate to a description of
the real condition of Armenia at present
Men are beaten and murdered and women
are assaulted by Kurds and Turkish soldiers.
Woe and want and despair nnd death stalk
abroad In this beautiful land that was mice

minated last evening In a murder.
Indian Agent Wlllltm II Beck visited the
separate camps on the Omaha agency last
Thursday for the exprc s purpose of expell
ing white men and otheis who , It Is rumoied ,
were selling hard elder nnd whisky to the
Indians. Ho found upon Investigation of the
btrrels In the different stands that nothing
but c'dcr was being sold , and decided not to
stop the sale of the popular diluk. During
Agent Beck's visit to the Omaha camp ho
was acco.npanled by eight Wlnnebigo police ,
aimed with Spencer rifles. Before leaving
'aptaln Beck detailed four of his Indian po-
Icv to stay on the Omnln giounds and pre-
cr\e the peace This action was distasteful
o the Omaln Indians , who claimed that It
as not necessary to employ Wlnnebigo In-
lans , and tint order would be preserved by
icmbcrs of their own tribe Invested with
l\ll authority 'Ihelt piotests were of no
vail and the four Wlnnebago police re
tained
No sooner had the captain left the cclcbra-
on grounds linn the Wlnnebigo police com-
icnced to make the rounds of the hard cider
lands nnd paid frequent visits to the numerous
) ootleggcrs who were peddling beer and
hlsky. It was not long until they had bccomo
tore bolstuous than those whom they were
upposed to keep under control. Yesterday
ftcrnoon one of the police , Frank Ewlng ,
lecame so dangerous by the lee o manner in
\liich he was handling his loaded rifle that
ohn Pitcher , a half-breed Omaha , was com-
cllcd to dispossess him of the fire-arm and
> lace It In the hands of one Wlckersham , who
tas conducting a stand on the grounds , for
afe keeping En Ing dechred he would kill
n Omaha Indian before he left the camp ,
nd wanted his gun Upon promise to behave
nd leave the grounds peiceably ho prevailed
ipon Wlckerslmni to let him have his rifle.
S'o w > oner had ho gained possession of the gun
ban ho made the second threat that ono dirty
Omaha would bite the dust and started In
lurstilt of George Parker , who was leaving
imp for another It Is thought Ewlng had a
grudge against Parker , who seemed to an-
Iclpato trouble and mounted his steed and
tarted to Idavc the grounds. Ewlng also
nounted his pony and darted after his victim ,
le gained on Parker steadily , and when about
wo miles from the main camp ho p'anted ' n
wllet In the small of Parker's back , killing
ilm Instantly.
The murderer was soon captured by Charlea
Snyder , United States marshal , James Black
bird and Joslah Fields , two Omaha ? , who
vanted to turn hint over to the Omaha In-
Hans , but the good couiipel of Snydcr pre-
alled , and he was brought to Pendcr and

BUTTE , Neb. , July II ( Special Telegram )
Some excitement was created last night bf
a report which reached here that a band of
vigilantes , armed with rifles and revolvers
and under the leadership of Captain Burns ,
the redoubtable Key a Paha county regulator ,
had passed Just south of Fairfax In hot pur
suit of a band of rustle-s , who had made away
nlth a bunch of about sixty head of cattle.
The rustlers had been camped at a point In
the neighborhood of Spencer , Neb , for the
last week. Two former rebldents ot Spencer ,
John Keeler and a man named Zoadland , are
< -ild to be Implicated In the stealing , and the
attic were picked up at dlffeient points along
Llie state line as far west as Chciry county.
The band of vigilantes numbers fifteen men
and is bound to get the cattle , and the prob
abilities are that some of the rustlers will bo
roughly dealt with Sheriff Stiindlford re
ceived a postal from the sheriff of Cherry
county the other day , offering a reward ot
$1GO for the arrest of the men who stole the
cattle belonging to ono Webster , who lives on
Snake creek in that county , ami whose cattle
arc among the bunch near Spencer
The vigilantes went through yesterday
afternoon and must have arrived at the camp
about dnrk last night. It Is learned that the
rustkrs' camp Is situated on the Sioux reser
vation , and if a lynching occurs , which is
quite probable , i < o action can bo taken by ths
Nebraska authorities , as the territory Is still
under the Jurisdiction of the Department of
the Interior.
This forenoon another delall of the regu
lators followed In the wake of Captain Burns
end his band , and they now hnvo a sufficient
force to capture every one concerned In the
tustle.

five armed police removed four families last
Friday , and ten Saturday With hut one ex

ance. Settler Stevenson stationed himself In
his house with a shotgun and defied the
police Had not Stcvtnson's friends and
neighbors cometo the rcscuo and took the
gun from the old nun borne ono of the police
would probably liavo been killed The police ,
with the aid of William Mary , a white set
tler , took Stovenson'a goods and machinery
and left him nothing but the bare house.
Trouble Is looked for Mondiy , as quite a
number of the settlers declare they will fight
before they will lose their homes and crops
and bo turned out with nothing.
