LIBERALS ARE DISCOURAChD I Defeat of Hnrconrt in the Derby Div'slon L Takes the Heart Out of Them , UNIONISTS ARC CORRESPONDINGLY ELATED London Times Expresses the Ifope that the ( , ' cx-I.lbornl Leader In the House Will rind n DUtrlct that Ho 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 speedily put to the feud ard dissension ; which an ? going tar to make li eland a byword - word throughout the wet Id , The Times says' "The unopposed re election of Daly fiom Limerick is a signifi cant reminder of Ihe sentiment which ani mates all sectlomt of the Irish nationalist ! and antl-P.arnellltes , " The Tint's then pio- ceeds lo recite the clntges upon which Dily \vas convicted.

Milton Bow en , to Miss Mary Bird in Denver , May 17 , Is announced. The news has been kept secret until now. Dr. Dowers a few years ago was tried and convicted of the murder of his wife and bentenced to hang 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 Before his wlfo died. in our FOK A A an Thinks KxUtlnc OrKunlziitions Not tnpible of Moitlnc Prenent Conditions , TOPEKA , July 14 Senator Peffer la out for a new party.

PLANS CAREFULLY PREPARED Sassoun Massacre the Outgrowth of a Well Matured Scheme , KURDS V/ERE / GATHERING FOR MONTHS Petroleum Accumulated In Advance to Aid la lint-nine Dwellings anil Cremating ttio liodle * of tlia Victims Orders Issued for tlia Destruction ot Mocllkan. 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 a part of the garden of Eden The Inhab itants of Van are living on the brink of a mifsacre from day to day CONFESSION OT A REVOLUTIONIST By the transfer from Van to Constantinople of the advance guard cf the Armenian revo lutionary movement , captured In the village of Tchlboukla on May 19 , the Turkish govern ment has taken a decisive step toward quietIng - Ing public excitement In the eastern part of the emp're The governor of Van , Bahrl i'asha , . has , during the week , added several Interesting facts to the alleged confession of Harry Williams , leader of the captured band According to the governor , Williams has con fessed that the revolutionary party which ssnt him to begin the revolution has 3,000 rifles In Trlente , Austria , which will be ( .hipped to Armenia for the use of the patriots at the earliest opportunity. An interesting Incident of Williams' confession , as made public by Bahrl , Is the fact that he Is not a Br'tlsh sub ject at all , but Is a native of the Caucasus region ot Asia , and strangely enough of the very district in which Bahri himself was born. born.Leaving Leaving out of consideration entirely the second revolutionary band across the Persian border. It Is an undeniable fact that the Arm-- nlan situation was never at a more critical point. Your correspondent jesterday met the rep resentative of a fourth revolutionary party with agents In Russia , England and America The headquarters seem to be In America where a party newspaper Is published and revolutionary funds are collected This agent Is a Russlan-Armen'an , and he holds- strong views on the situation The fourth revolu tionary party has brought no guns to Arme nia nor does the agent say he has any arms hidden In the mountains The party's princl. pies , however , are of the most radical and advanced sort. fourteen CUM IMIril t'p WHITE SULPHUR. 0 .

Today active means were taken to afford them relief and homes. In addition to the. wreck in Cherry Hill , almost every house along the river from that place to the river edge was damaged to some extent. Many had their chimneys blown down , while the roofs of other houses were badly started The buildings blown down In the village of Cherry Hill were valued at about It000 ) , but this Is but a small part of the actual loss , without taking Into consideration the loss of life or the injuries to scores who were unfortunate enough to bo In the path of the storm. The -villages of Woodhaven and Union Course did not present that desolate appear ance today that might be expected after the destruction and terrifying experience cf yes terday. As but one death resulted from the Etorm , and all the Injured are doing well , the effects of the great blow has not been felt as severely as In Cherry Hill , The total loss In a direct way has been estimated at about $100,000 , but this Is not taking into considera tion the damage to crops.

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.
