Ister to take measures to prevent the for-
eign residents of Constantinople from sufferIng -
Ing and to restore order. The United States

resentations to thc Turkish government requesting -

TURKISh QUARTERS GUARDED
The Turkish quarter are guarded throughout -
out the nigh In order to prevent the Mus-
sulman InhabItants from coming out and renewing -
newing the disturbance. The city Is now
tranquil , although It Is still patrolled by
troops and police , and there . Is yet much
IPprelunslon : among the Armenians. . The Sof-
: ; L tas were especIaly guilty of great excesses
on- Tuesday , and especially durIng the raid
on th'Armeiiian quarter , which they made
at nIght At Tookurtchesme , near Stamboul ,
the students and populace broke Into the
Armenian building , Idled fifteen persons and
wounded thirty-five oLhers In addltLn , I
th bodies to the
h said that they conveyed ! bOles
shores and threw them Into the sea There
was another battle In an Armenian cafe at
Schltlr , during which several persons were
killed and wounded on both sides At las-
keln a number or Armenians' houses were
broken Late and sacked by the Sofas , who
. ' killed a number ot Armenians inhabiting
. these buildings .
On the other hand at tarqhemurlk , near
Stamboul , revolvers were fred from the wIn-
dews of Armenian houses , and the Armenian
inhabitants were arrested , OwIng to the
threats of the Sofas the Armenian colego
at Galate has been closed. At the Invitation
ot the Armenian nobites , at the request of
the Turkish government , some of the Armenians -
menians who had sought refuge.ln the 1oum-
kapIn cathedral have returned to theIr homes ,
but the majorIty refused to leave the sacred
edifice out of rear of being arrested and mal-
treated by the Turl.s
The arrests of Armenians continue to . be
made In all parts of the cLty and the police
are making domicile visits wherever the Armenians -
menians live , and are searching all the Armenian -
menian stores. There were further troubles
yesterday at TappanI , during which about
forty persons were wounded.
REVULSION OF' FEELING.
LONDON , Oct. 4-Forehn office officials
have expresrl the opinIon that the dlsturh-
ances at Constantinople will seriously en .
barrass the powers In their efforts to bring
about a reform fn Armenia. A heavy responsibility -
sponsibity rests upon the Armenians for
precipitating the riots at Constantinople and
the opinion Is gaining ground that the recent
events there have caused a revulsion through-
out Europe , and those who were urging their
governments to take Immediate steps to de-
liver the Armenians from oppressions begin
to see distinctly that there Is i another side
to the question.
A dispatch to the Pal Mal Gazette from
Constantinople , published this afternoon ,
EJS that one of the foreign delegates of the
international commission Df Inquiry says
that Its report will show that the total num-
her of inhabitants or the Sassoun valley did
not exceed .1,000 , and that the number at
Armenians Idled In the capture of the vi-
lages of Semal , Shemak and Ghelguzan and
In the taking of Antolmdagb pass was at the
most 300 to 500. I I. also claimed that the
report will demonstrate that there Is no evidence -
deuce that anyone was killed In cold bleeder
or that there were any mutilations of women
or children. Finally It Is asserted by the
delegate , according to the correspondent or
the Pal Mal Gazette , that about forty persons -
sons were burled In the death pitat Gbe.
liguzan and that the statement that a number
lguzan
of women threw themselves over a cliff In '
order to avoid dishonor 19 also raise.
WORThY OF SYMPATHY.
NEW YOHK Oct. 4J. J. Hooney , chaIr-
man of the I'ilii-Arznenlan Association of
AmerIca and a member at the custom house
brokerage firm of H. F. Down & Co. , discussed -
cussed with an Associated press representa-
tve today the subject of the riots of the
last few days In Constantinople . "if , " he
said , "the American people can sympathize
with the struggle of the Insurgents In Cuba
they surely can extend a helping hand to
the Armenians , whose position for centuries
las bean Infnitely worse than that of the
Cubans. Their fidelity to theL faith has been
, the chief source of their many amietions. '
They received the Christian fafth hI the cec-
end century , and have held fast to It through
all these years , In spite of Incessant persecutions -
cutons and many general massacres. They
have magnUc nt literature and a great history -
tory , and are surely too noble and intelligent
a people to be wlpcd from the earth by the
unspeakable Turk.
"All that the Armenian people ask Is protection -
tecton for le , honor and property , and
surely such a demand should meet with the
s'm'.thy of the American people.
. "I Is nlll by enemies of the Armenians
that this outbreak Is the result of a secret
revolutionary movement , anti that L " 'as Ip ,
caly designed to provoke bloodshed , In order
to attract the attention and Interntol of
Europe. The conclusive answer to this
charge Is that I Is not necessary , In viewer
of all the knowledge of the acts , te place
any more bloodshed In evidence before Eu-
rope and the cvlzed world. But It Is nec s-
sry and vitally Important that the horrors
of the recent l\d existing situation In Unhappy .
happy Armenia should be brought home to
the conscience of humanity by a peaceable
petition.
petton.ISSUES
ISSUES SQUARELY JOINED.
"This was done at Constantinople on Monday -
day last 111 YOU know the result. More-
o\'er a revolutionary movement In Constan-
tnople would not be deemed necessary or
advisable by the Armenians themselves , as
the Issue Is now squarely joined between
the Porte and the three power signatory
to the treaty of Berln , namely : Great tInt-
aln Iussla anll France. The obligations of
the power towards Armenians are clearly
defnel In the treaty of Berlin. These ob-
Iglton8 are publicly acknowledged \ by the
three powers and we , the friends of thc
ArmenIans In the United States , are clad
to say that the Urltsh premier , the mar.
quls of Sal bury , ha acknowledged the spe-
clsl duty of Great Britain. Wo have addressed -
dressed to the mlqnls of Salisbury a pet-
tion voicing the sentiments of the American -
can ) 'mpathlzer of the unhappy Arme-
nhms. Wo asked him to uphold the cause of
suffering humanity In Armenia and the pod-
ton assumed by Great Britain In signing
the nlrln treat ) This can best be dane ,
' It is I ' suggested , by the appointment of a
European governor for Armenia who h.
not been a ubject at tIme Porte Ild who
would be respnsible to a EuroPean com-
minion. We repruented that M amount
ot promises from the Porte would avail : that
remedy ha long proved to be a dismal fll-
ure. Over fifty years ago , under somewhat
similar circumstances , I liberal consttu-
tion. equal almost .
ton to that of the United
States , was solemnly granted to Armenia
by the sultan . I was a dead letter from
the day of its birth Why Because the
condition of Armenia Is a question of administration -
n queston
ministration and not of paper guarantees.
POLICY OF TIE TUnKS.
"It has been conclusively shown that the
policy of the Turkish government hu' been
to end the question by ending the Ar- !
menlans. The Britsh foreign ofce within
the last two or three days has acknowledged
the receipt of our petition and has promised
to give It consideration. Aa a matter of
consIderaton. mater
fact , direct pressure now rests upon the
Porto from the three powers to accept the
reforms demand
"The Interest of Americans In the Armenian
situation became very strong as son as the
facts of the massacre bad been established
beyond doubt by the Associated pre's. Pub-
le men everywhere , Including the governors
of many states , expressed theIr sympathy
wih the Armenians
"Bishop Peter of New York and Cardinal
Gibbons have been specially outspoken on
the subject. To show the value of American
Imtment In bringing about a remedy for
Armenia , I need only cite the following letter
addressed to Mr. St1n , an earnest friend of
the cause Washington , by Mr. James
llryce author of 'The American Common-
wealh. lie wrote : 'I trmit that the ef-
. e-
forts which you and other public spirited men
ate making to cal the attention of the AmerIcan -
Ican people to the unhappy condition of the
Christians of the east wi be successful
Your helper" are all ready to respond to the
cry of suffering humanity and no events of
recent have better deserved the
years beter sympathies -
pathies than time ancient and once famous
Armenian nation , miseries which have re-
centy culminated In the massacre of Sas-
soun , A strong expresSIon of AmerIcan feel-
log wi strenghten the hands of those who
In Europe desire measures of reform Intro-
duccI which may effectually prevent any recurrence -
currence of similar horrors. '
"Then again the first position , asking for
the appointment of a European governor of
Armenia , bears the fgnature , among others ,
of Justice DavId J. Brewer of the United
States court : Miss Frances D Wiard , presIdent -
Ident of the Women's Christian Temperance
union : Richard Watson Gilder . edtor of the
Century magazine and A. T. " , mmett , presIdent -
Ident of the IrIsh Natonal Federation of
Americans. "
The Derln correspondent of the Standard
telegraphs to that paper that he learns prIvately -
vately that the number of Turks killed on
Monday In the riots at Constantinople was
forty-eight and of Armenians , 11 T\ ,
number of wounded on both sides was several
hundred
The Constantinople corre 'pondent of the
Daily News says that 1,000 to 1,200 Armenians -
menians , have been Imprisoned at the capial ,
"I Is now absolutely certain , " the crre-
sponrlent alls , "that eIghty-one bodies of
Armenians have been given up by the Turk-
lab officials to the Armenian hmolal at
Stamboul. All were In a fearful condition ,
some havIng as many as thirty wounds. "

MUNICH , Bavaria , Oct. 4.-At today's sit-
ting of the Lower House of Parliament the
pnmler announced that the appeal of Louis
Stern of New York , sentenced to two weeks
Imprisonment and a fine or GOO marks for In-
suIting Daron van Thuengen , deputy com-
missioner at . the Spa , at Klsslngen , had been
rejected.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 4-The news has
reached Washington , unofficially , confirming
the cable reports that the Prince of Bavaria
has declined to extend clemency to Luis
Stern of New York as was requested by
our ambassador , Mr. Runyon. The prInce Is
the last resort In such a case wIthin the
limits of Bavarja where .Mr. Stern was tried ,
and be must either serve out his sentence of
two weeks Imprisonment and fine of GOI '
marks or forfeit his bal , which has been fixed
In the excesslv' sum of 20000. At fIrst Mr.
Stern lOdged el appeal , but soon wIthdrew ,
this In eden to make an application for modi- I
fication of the"sentence , asking that the Imprisonment - '
prisonment be changed to a fine. This beIng
Ing refused , It was understood that the appeal -
peal cannot be renewed , The affair has left
a bad Impression here , for It Is believed that
the Germans have seized upon a trifling
offense to treat a prominent American citiZen -

the United States consul at Foe Chow , who
was the most energetic member ot the commissIon -
missIon peremptorily demanded In the most
vigorous language the right of being present
at the rIals He said he did not care how

would stir up all the powers unless ho was
admitted , and gave the mandarIn four hours

NEW YORK , Oct. 4.-A special to the Herald -
aid from Washington says : The great Inter-
national question of tie hour Is tie Venezuelan -
elan boundary dispute. Secretary Olney has
prepared a dispatch to Ambassador Dayard ,
which will soon brIng the matter to an Issue.
This ( lispatcim Is ot a more positive and unequivocal -
euh'ocl nature AB sooh as It shall be
placed before thC Brish government , It will
lalso an Issue which can only be settled by
the retreat of one or the other government.
The stand taken by the United States In this
dispatch Is one which Involves the oldest and
most sacred traditions of the goverment-an
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine.
Secretary Olney's dLpatch Is In substance
a declaration In the most positive lanGuage
that the UnIted States will never consent to
Drltsh occupation - of the disputed territory
In Venezuela unless that nation's right thereto
Is Irst determined by arbitraton ,
In polite , but frm and significant words ,
Secretary Obey declares It to be the belief
of the United States government that the ter-
ritorIal calms ] whIch Great Urltaln has set
up In Venezuela are Ln the nature of an attempt -
tempt to seize territory on the American con-
tnent to whIch she has no legal right. The
secretary poInts out two horns to the dlem-
m1 , giving the Briton to choose which It will
accept.
lrst. I the quarrel with Venezuela Is an
ordinary boundary dispute , havIng its origin
In fauly descriptions , Imperfect surveys or
other misunderstanding , a refusal , to arbitrate
the same Is contrary to the precedents set by
Great BrltaLn herself , and contrary to the
practice of all civilized nations.
Second , If , on the other hand , as appears
to be the care , the location of a boundary
line Is a mere disguise under which Great
Britain Is attempting by superior force to
extend her territory Into America , this Is
directly violatve of. the Monroe doctrine and
States. will never be submitted to by the United
SECRETARY OLNEY IS SILENT.
WAShINGTON , Oct. 4.-Seeretary Obey
positively reused to say anytllng touching
any correspondence he has had or Intends to
have relative to the settlement of the Zenez-
uelan boundary dlsput , so It cannot be
positively ascertained whether Ie has taken
any steps recently to Induce Great Britain to
submit the mater to arbitration. I can be
e'atcd : , however , that since Secretary Gres-
ham's ( loath and up to a very recent date
the department had not made a sIngle move
In that direction , But , Inasmuch as congress
by resoluton has directed the executive to
use his best efforts to bring the dIspute to
arbitration , It Is very probable that , having
In mind the near approach of the as , 'amblng
of congress , Secretary Oney has been giving
the subject the attention It demands and Is
formulating his vIews to he communicated
to Ambassador Bayard upon the retur of
the later from his vacation In Scotand , Iore.
over , as the preceding letters of the late
Secretary Gresham on this sUbject appear to
have failed to secure acton by time British
government whose only response was n reiteration -
iteration of Its willingness to arbitrate the
title to the lands Included within the ' supplementary -
mentary claims and outside or the vast tract
which the Venezuelans assert has been
seIzed from them. Secretary Onev may feel
that the time has come to maIm 1 more
forcible presentation tlan the mere state-
ment that the United Staes would welcome
a submission of the question to arbitration.
'As diplomacy has many steps between the
Initiation ot . an Incident and a declaration
of war , It .Is possible , following ordinary
usages , to set out such a view In terms
which while still forcible shall be entrely
courteous and In no degree approaching an
ultimatum , and such undoubtedly will be
the nature ot Secretary Olney's letter. This
musl be done In order that some proper re-
turn may be made to congress In December ,
next , but further than that the secretary
Is not likely to proceed , for as an ultimatum I
Is really a step toward war to deliver such :
might be regarded as an Infringement ot the
constitutional rights of . congress.

SAN FRANCISCO , Oct. 4.-I the manner
In whIch the attorneys ror the defense In
the trial of Theodore Durrant are handling
theIr case Is any indication of the strength
of their position , the pro ! cuton believes
the developments after today leave Itlo
doubt ' . the
of the prlsoner's convicton. To
surprise of everybody the defense this afternoon -
non began the callng ot witnesses to show
the previous good character ot the onng
Sunday school supeIntendent. Dy the pro !
euton this step Is interpreted to mean that
the derense has Introduced all of the evidence
al
that It has to refute the mass of testimony
pled up by the people.
MIss Cunningham , the newspaper reporter ,
who was threatened wih ImprllQnment yes-
terday beause she would not answer a ques-
ton propounded to her by the defense , was
called to the stand again this morning to
give her another opportunity to answer the
queston , She refused to disclose the eurce
ot her information with regard to the nature
of Mrs. Leak's testmony , but Instead of
sending her to prIson the court took the matter -
tor under advisement until next Tuesday.
In a similar case the 'lreme court of Cal-
Coria sustained the position at a newspaper
reporter and the court Is therefore In doubt
with regard to its power In the premises
He\ J. George Gibson , pastor of Emanuel
Baptist church , wal called hy the defense
for the purpose ot Identfying specimens of
his handsriLimmg. The witness refused posi-
tvelY to identity any of the specimen !
h1nded to him. He said the writIng looked
lea his own , but as the documents had not
been In his possession for s"ne tme , It at
all , he could not possIbly identify the writ-
lug At the request ot Attorney Dcuprey
Re' . Gbson printEd the nal"e and addre' '
of Mrs. C. C. Noble , Danche Lamont's aunt
He also wrote several specimens for the dis-
trIct attorney , which were Introduced In evi-
dence. The writing of Hev. Gibson will pIa '
an Important part In future proceedings , as
Atorney Deuprey announced In his opening
statement that he would prove that Mr. Gibson -
Bon directed the wrapper Ih which Banche
Lamnont'm rings were returned to Mrs. Noble.
Time defense summoned ex-Congressman
Henley and several other wItnesses to show
th1 bad reputation of Attorney Quinlan , who
tetlfed that on the afternoon of April 3 he
saw Durrant and Blanche Lament walking
toward Emanuel chtmrclm Fifteen wItnesses
were place on the stand to show the previous
geed reputation of Durrant. The witnesses
all regarded Durrant as a model young man.
Not one-hal ever herd of his doing any-
ttlng wrong. The cross-examination was
brief , as the prosecution expects to have no
dmiflcuity In proving that Durmant's Im-
morality was notorious among the lower
canes , \ Ih whom he often aEsoclated.
Summed up briefly , the result of the first
ten days ot testimony Introduced by the
defense , Is as follows : Dr. Cheney failed
to tESty as Attorneyeuprey . saId III would ,

To offset these two sfrong poInts gained by
the prosecution , the defense has placed on the
stlnd slxt-elght students who testified that
they did not answer Durrant's name at roll
cal on April 3.
As next Monday Is Labor day In California ,
