for a long time past , and the Associated
press , correspondent months ago drew alcn-
ton to thIs . saying that he had conclusIve

Constantinople , anti that any number of Armenians -
montana were willing to thus sacrifce them-
J. Felves for the Ultimate benefit of their un-
happy compateloth.
2 SITUATION VEny GRAV1.
On thl other band the partmns of the
ArmenIans assert that the latter only armed
themselves In order to defend theIr lIve
, I against the Turls.
The nuthorltes have stationed troops and
1olnQ nr IVlrv threatened point , anti It Is
asserted thIs mornIng tat there Is no ORIUr !
of any further dts'turbances. ThIs , how-
ever , Is not generally believed.
The Introduction of the religIous element
Into the dIsturbance maltes the situation
10ro grave than It otherwise would have
. 1)000 although the outward cause of the
Armenian outbreak Is saul to bo the long de-
{ I lays In the negotiations between the powers
, and the Porte on the question of reform In
Armenia , which delays have Increased the
despair of the Armenians Prominent Tur-
, ] sh ofcials , however , claim that the present
troubles are the outcome of the sentIment
I whIch prevails throughout Europe . partcu-
lrly In Inglanll , In favor of Armenians.
I Owing to the critIcal situation hero the
i envoys of the powers met at the Austrian
, embassy today , and the German wurboat
, Lovely has been ordered al the disposal of
the German embassy.
I Is now known definitely that at least
five Armenians wore klcd after they had
1 been arrested on Monday and It has caused
great Indignaton ,
Regarding the death of the Turltsh ma-
IoI Servet DIY , witnesses of the affair ns-
sect that the Armenians ( lid not use
revolvers until ho had ordered the police to
fro upon them When Servet Dey tell , there
was a frightful tumul and the polce charged
the crowd with revolvers anti swords. According -
cording to / police report only twenty per- I
son were ] < led and eIghty wouned during
tin rioting on Monday , but more reliable reports - i
ports place the number of killed at probably
over 200.
News has been received here from Damas-
els that the French consul at that place hall
\ lleen attacked by a mob , grosfy insulted , and
pelted with mud The French embassy has
complained to tIle Porte and has demanded
prompt redress for the outrage.
HAl FAITH IN KIA MIF.
LONION , Oct. 3.-The critical condition of I
nffair' at Constantinople Is the sensation of I
the Ilay } here , and all the dispatches from :
that city are read with the greatest eager-
t ness. Many Im\lortant \ messages are known
' to have been received at the Urltsh foreign
t ofco from Sir PhilIp CurrIe , the British
ambassador , at Constantinople , and the feel-
Ing here Is lot entirely favorable to the
ArmenIans The appointment of Kia 11e
.Iha as grand vizier , recently announced , Is
regarded at the foreign oleo as a happy
'I clrcumbtance at the present juncture of af-
fairs. He has the rel1utaton of being one
of the most broadmlndell and enlIghtened
statesmen of the Ottoman empIre , and he
3 looked upot as being the right man In the
rIght Illace. I Is true that during his last
term of olce JIJ1e Pasha , by a certain
faeton at least wa ! looked upon as elmer-
I/hlng undue anglophlo Ideas , but the hope
I expressed hero that he will be able to
successfully grapple with the situation and
suppress the dlsordrs at Constantinople before .
fore maters reach / stage which would cal
for limo Interference of the IJowers.
In suite of the assurances to the contrary
of the Armenlan- committee of this cIty , the
belief prQvalls In omcla ) circles here that Ihe (
rioting at Contantnople was really a delb-
rately planned uprising brought about by
4 \ 4 the Armenian agitators , who are desirous of
forcing the hands of the powers In order
, to brIng about direct Interference upon the
Ilat of Great Irlaln , France and \ Russia In
the administratIon ef Armel13.
The St. James Gazette poInts out this afternoon -
noon how the events which have just occurred
. , at Constantinople were correctly foretold by
, the . \loclattd ! press , which , In a dispatch plb-
Ishell here on April 19 , toll how the paIn-
otc party of ArmenIa had been found fo-
menUng 1 general revel and that the iead-
' era promlsell that the chief attack would bo
made In the city of ConstanUnolllo Itself . and
. Chat the bulk of the fighting would Il borne
by the Armenians rsident therein. The As-
soclstell 11ress added at the lme that the
leaders had even gone a far as to dechre
r that the first attack would be on the palace
of the ( ( ulan and that the reIgn Of lamll
. would come to 1 sudden end. Finally , It
\ vas slale.\ \ that there were men who be-
Heved ' that In the overthrow of the sultan
the Armenlsns would b encouraged by the
younger and more progressive generatIon
of ( onstantnnple Turks

argue that I Is no worse that a few thou-

not knew of these plaqs In detail. The ArmenIans -

this Is unlikely.

Constantinople has not fallen Into such terror -

hoped that they wl not resort to force , as
a most fearful massacre would InevItably re-
smmlt . The ArmenIans are huddled together
In the church with barely standing room
They have to depend for food upon such
scraps as are brought to them.
I Is estimated at the patrIarchate that
over 200 ArmenIans have been killed ,

WASHINGTON , Oct. 3.-The Venezuelan
question Is the new topIc of Inteest at the
natonal capial today. That the American
syndicate holding an alleged concession from
the j'enezueiamm gqvernment proposes to take
possession In the Immediate future Is a fact
that seems to be generaly conceded. The
land claImed by Jho American l'ynlcate Is
within the limits of the territory claimed by
time British government. That the BritIsh
government wIll protest agaInst the acton
of the American syndicate seems equally
certain. The one question uppermost today
In Washington circles' Is "What does the
United State propose to do about It ? " I
Is claimed that the American syndicate has
received some intImatIon . directly or Indirectly -
directly , from the State department that has
encouraged It to proceed along the lInes of
policy Its officers have mapped out. The
State department , however , IS siient.
Time oUcers of the Manoa corn-
pany are loath to admit that a
desire to embroil the United States
In the International dIspute promllted
the Venezuelan government's concession.
President Ilownian In an limtervlew denied
emphatcaly that the grant hat been made
with the Idea thaI the United States could !
be bronght Into the controversy . He claImed
that limo grant had been made In 883 to a
citizen of Venezuela and had been purchased
by the company before the trouble arose
with Great Urltaln over this territory.
ENOLA D'S WELL KNOWN ATTITUDE
WIth regard to the position of the British
government no uncertainty exIsts. As long
ago as In 1886 an official statement of Eng-
land's positon In Venezuela was sent out
from Downing street. Since that decree
England hay not chang her ground. WIthin
the past year she has refused to "ubmlt her
dispute wIth Venezuela to a board of Inter-
natonal arbItrators The adoption of the
Livingston resolution by time last congre3
has evoked no response. The decree b'3ued
nearly ten years ago by the BritIsh govern-
men t Is as follows :
"COLONIAL OFFICE , DOWNING
STREET Oct. 21 , 1886-Whereas. The
boundary line between her majesty's colonies
of British GuIana and the xepublc of Vene
zuola Is In dispute between her majet'ty's
government and the government of Vene.
zuela , and
Whereas , I has come to the knowledge of
her majesty's government that grants of
land wihin the territory claimed by her ma-
jesty's government as part of the said colony
have been made or purported to have been
mad by or In the name of Venezuela , notice
Is honey given ! that no title to lands or to any
rIght In or over or affectIng an ) lands within
the territory claimed by her majety's , gov
ernment as forming part of a colony of l3rit-
Ish Guiana purportIng . to be derived from
us through the government.of . , Venezuela or
any officer or person authorIzed by that gov-
erment wilt be admllell or recognized by
her majesty or by the government of British
Guiana , and that any person taking Ilosses-
slon of or exercising any right over any such
lands under color of any such title or pre.
tended title will bo liable to he treated aD a
trespasser under th'e laws of saId colon ) . . .
QUESTION NOT A NIW ONE.
ThIs Is the decree that faces the Manca
concession , the holders of which , It Is report-
el1 , WEre to meet at New York to endeavor to
commIt this goverment to a support of Its
claims. Contrary to popular belief , the Issue
whIch they propose to raise Is by no means
new . as Is fuly disclosed by the correspond-
coca had In past years on this subject by
the State department with Great Britain and
Venezuela , and time decree above qnotcd was
expressly drawn to fit the case of the Janoa
company.
In September , 1883 , Venezuela granted to
O. O. Fitzgerald In behalf of the Manes company -
pony the exclusive right to colonize such
national lands as were Include withIn a tract
wblch on the sIde of the Orinoco rIver ex-
tended as far as the boundary of British Gui-
ana as defined hy the Venezuelans. The purpose -
pose of the concession was to develop agnicul-
lure cattle breeding , mIning WithIn a few
months and before the company had actualy
entered upon time possession of Its concession -
sion , British officials notified Mr. Fitzgerald
that the colonial government exercised au-
thoriy and JurIsdicton over time terrItory
including thIs concession and that any per-
Eons disregarding or acting In confraventon
of time laws of British Guiana and within
these limits would be liable to prosecution ,
One month later hearIng that the Manoa
company proposed to set up a saw mit
the mouth of the Iarlma rIver , a British
commIssioner served formal notce In two
letters that no such thIng was to bo permit-
tel , and two months tater than this the
British legation at Caracas addressed the
Venezuelan government directly on the ques-
ton , requesting It to take steps to prevent
the Janoa company from asserting claims or
InterferIng with British territory and threat-
cuIng to Instruct the British government to
employ polce to prevent It. This was
supplemented by a suggestIon that In
vIew of the pendency of time boundary dispute
it was Important that such Incidents calculated -
lated to cause grave Inconvenience should be
prOVCntCl This last acton was taken In
18S5 . and apparently prevented the exercise
by the AmerIcan concessIonaIres of any as-
serton of their claim from that day to the
present tIthe . although the facts were fully
known to the State department.
DENIAlS FROM TIE COMPANY.
NEW YORK , Oct. 3-A meetng Is In
progress at time Astor house between repre.
sentatvEs of the lan03 Llmltell and the
Orinoco company. The meeting Is for the pur-
pose of electing omcers for the Orinoco company -
pany , whIch has been recently Incorporated
In the state of WashIngton , and ale for the
transfer of a lease or deed of the property of
the Janoa company In Venezuela.
I'residont J. A , Dowman of the lanoa company -
pany when seen today by a reporter of the
AssocIated press said : "In 1883 the Venezuelan -
ezuelan government ceded about 14,000,00o
acres of land In Venezuela to one of its cItIzens -
Izens , ! r. O. C. FItzgerald , C. M. E.
"In 1881 Mr. Fitzgerald sold this properly
to the Manoa company , of which I was the
first president , and I hold the same position
now. The country Is rIch 13 asphaltum , Iron ,
timber . rubber and gold. Two or three years
after the concession the British government
made a claim for a bIg strip of the seaboard
of that property , to wh'ich I claim It has or
had no rIght whatever.
" 1,1t June this concession was reafrmed
by President Crepe and his cabinet so far as
to relieve the tItle from a cloud whIch seemed
to stand over It , owIng to some legIslatve
blunder. This cloud havIng been removed
gives us a clear field for our work , and we
expect to malt\ final arrangements wIth the
Orinoco commmpany . so that its representatives
can go ahead wIth active operations In all
al
the IndustrIes down there. Our meeting today
has absolutely no International sIgnificance .
Our dealings so far as the property Is 'con-
corned are directly with the Venezuelan gov-
ernment. If Great BrItain has
I Drlaln ha a claIm on
that government It Is not for us to Interfere
and enmbroll the American government In international -
ternatonal hostites , which some papers are
trying to make out There Is no , truth In It
whatever , "

WARREN , R. I" , Oct. 3.-0ne of the largest -
est fires that has ever occurred In south-
eastern New England broke out In one of the
mills of the Warren lanufacturlng comllany ,
sltualeJ about an eighth of a mIle from the
center of this town , just after mldnlg'lt , and
before It was gotten under ] control hd swept
through three large cotton mills , two warehouses -
houses , small sheds , freight cars and other
property , causIng / loss whIch Is estmated
at more than $1,000,000.
Time fire started In the wash room near
the engine room of No. 1 mill , and spread
with great rapidity Ulrougli the building.
Within an hour after time blaze was dlscov-
erO the flames were roaring through all
thrto mIlls. The magnitude of the fire at
once became apparent to time local depart-
ment and help was Immediately summoned
from Bristol Fail River and Providence. An
; engine from BrIstol , one from l.'al Uver , and
two steamer two hose cars amid three companIes -
panIes from Providence responded , arriving
on special trains
The scene when these out.of.town companies -
panIcs arrived was appalling. The whole of
the soulner part of the ltte town seemed
to bo I. mass of roaring ilanmes . threatening
not only time tenement houses of the manu-
fachulng company near by , but endangering
the business part of the town some ' dls-
tanco off.
or.
Almost Immediately after the addItional
force had let to work the water supply began
to give out , and time combine departments
consequently worked under n heavy disadvantage -
vantage , and although the automatc sprlnk- ,
lore were turned on In all three mills amid
six Inches of water stood upon all of the
floors . very little progress was made. A car-
load of tar and another of cotton standing
on a track near the mill yard , becoming
ignited , furnished admirable food for the fire
In Its sweep through the great plant.
The heat was Insuterable , and soon It was
impossible to get within 300 feet of the build-
Ings. At 10 o'cloclt tie flames were threatenIng -
log two warehouses containing $400,000 worth
of sea Island cotton and competed : shootings.
TOOK A NEW START.
A 10:30 : the fre caught anew and soon be-
came a roarIng f rnace. A few minutes later ]
tlmrm flames jumped tram these buidings to
the adjcIJng lumber yard of H , A. Martin ,
and his , Rtro stoclt of cOil , wood and dressed
lumberwere food for the fire . Shortly be-
toro 1 , o'ilock the \1n15 of two of the mis
fel ' In and the dwelling houses occupied by
time operatives also caught fire , so that It
semed t be spreading In two directions.
Dy tl most persistent and arduous efforts ,
however , thl firemen gained control ot the
conflagration at midnight , but all that ' was
left Of the big factories warehouses and tenements -
ments was a blazing pie of ruIns. The
entire contents of the plants were destroyed ,
with the' , exception of fifty bales of cotton

fohiowo :
"Time court does not see its way clear to
accept the resignations of the receivers upon
the papers mmow before the court. The case
is too grave to be disposed of hastily. Time
appoIntment of other receivers woulil only
tend to increase , rather than dimnimmicim , time

imas been reached between the MIssouri i'a.
cifle , Wabash and the Chicago , Milwaukee &
St. Paul roade by wimiclm the central bronchi of
the Missouri Pacific will be extended to Ien-
ver from Stockton , or Lenora , Kan. ,
next year. hi the project is carried out
the line will be the shortest route to time
Missouri river. and the Wabash and time Mu-
waukeo will send business directly through
to Denver from time east.
The situation has been eomewhnt corn-
phlcated by the receipt of a telegram thIs
mormeing from J. A. lianna , who Is now in
New York City , sayImmg that he hmas positive
informatIon that a company In thet cIty will
build a railroad fronm Denver to hastings ,
Nob. , at once. Bids for construction imave
been asked for. The officers of the conmpany
are C. S. Bnice , president ; Robert B. Lee ,
vice president and rnanager ; A. S. Conger ,
eceretary ; W. A. Reed , treasurer ,
It is believed that the two projects referred
to wiii simnier down to one when mmli time facts
are known. Time MissourI Pacific hiss two
hues extemmdlng through emorthiermi Kauisas ,
ammo terminating at Stockton , In Rooks
county , and the oilier at Lenora , in Norton
county. In addition to these lines tha Missouri -
souri Pacific operates another line to hiast-
inga , Neb.
It Ia believed hero that the extension most
likely to ho made is from liamutings. This
hlns was comistructed to Hastings from Su-
perlor In 18S7. At present It imas Ito terminus
at Proseer , a small station imorthwest of
