CONSTANTINOPLE , Nov. 22. The general
situation In this country continues to Inspire
the gravest fears.
Telegrams received here from Marash Into
yesterday , apparently considerably delayed by
tb Turkish officiate , say that the American
and other missionaries there nro again In
the greatest danger. In view of the repeated
assurances which the United States minister ,
Mr. Alexander W. Terrell , has received from
the Porte on his Insisting that they be safely
guarded , this hap caused much anxiety.
Advices received hire from Slvas assert
that as soon as the reinforcements of the
Turkish troops arrive there- the Turkish of
ficials will notify the Armenians that they
must surrender all the arms and ammunition
In their possession. The Armenians object to
this , as It placss them entirely at the mercy
of the Turks. To this the Turks reply that
no harm will bo done so long as they do not
resist the authorities , and that If they refuiso
to give up their arms they will bo forced to
do so. It Is asserted that the Turkish
officials added that If they arc not satisfied
that all the arms and ammunition have been
surrendered the troops will be ordered to at
tack the Armenians.
Members of the diplomatic corps point to
the fact that , ns the Mussulmans of Slvas
arc not to bt disarmed , the projected meas
ures against the Armenians create a new
danger which may have the most grave con
sequence's.
The concentration of Turkish troops at
.Morash continues as rapidly as possible.
While this massing of soldiers continues the
Turkish commander at Marash continues his
negotiations with the Armenians of Zeltoun ,
holding out all sorts of promises for their
surrender. But the Armenians havs been so
frequently deceived that they apprehend noth
ing less than a wholesale massacre If they
lay down their arms. The representatives of
the powers take the same view of the case
and have notified the Porte that they will
not answer for the consequences If the
Zeitoun Armenians are massacred.
MAY BE A PITCHED BATTLE.
The Armenians of this city who can be
prevailed upon to talk on the subject intimate
that a tnirprlso for the Turks is being pre
pared at Zjltoun , and that a battle which
will make history and show that the
Armenians are entitled to freedom or at least
Belt-government will bo fought there. As
before- , the Armenians are deficient In
artillery and It cannot be expected that they
can offer an effective resistance to a regu
larly organized expedition.
Rumors of fresh troubles nt Samsoon , a
seaport of Asia Minor , on tha Black sea , have
alsj reached here. The population of S.imsoon
Is almost entirely composed of Turks and the
few Armenians there are sure to fare badly
If an uprising occurs.
Probably the most serious feature of the
situation ct present is the one resulting from
the demand which the representatives of
Great Britain , Russia , Italy and Austria
made to the sultan for firmans allowing the
passage through the Dardanelles to this city
of a second dispatch boat , or small gunboat ,
to be attached to each of their respective
embassies. By the treaty of Berlin , the war
ships of foreign nations are not allowed to
pass the Dardanelles without the permission
of the sultan , and It has hitherto been custo
mary 10 allow a dispatch boat as a kind of
guardshlp for each of the embassies. The
recent rioting In this city , however , and the
prccauslona which have been taken to de
fend the British and other embassies , have
shown that the naval force In the Bos-
phorus Is hardly sufficient to cope with a se
rious outbreak In or about this city.
It wan at first believed that there would be
no difficulty In pcisuadlng the sultan to grant
the necessary permission for the passage of
the Dardanelles of four small warships , but
It Is now admitted at the palace that he may
decline to grant these demands of the powers.
As the powers consider that an Increase of
the number of 'orelgn warships In the Bos-
phorus Is absolutely necessary for the safety
of forelgnern In this vicinity , It Is thought
possible that they may Insist upon their de
mands , and In case of a refusal may take
steps to send additional warships here with
out the permission of the Bullan.
The sultan has offered rewards for the
discovery of the persons who recently posted
revolutionary placards at the mosques and
In many other public places , exciting the
Armtiiilanii against the Mussulmans. A spe
cial committee has also been appointed to
watch day and night until adequate results
are obtained In the restoration of order
among the Armenians.
SOFIA , Bulgaria , Nov. 22. Advices from
Constantinople say the sultan has consented
to allow the passage through the Dardanelles
of a second guardshlp for each power , In ac
cordance with the requests of the Austrian ,
Italian , Russian and British representatives.
RUSSIAN FLEET IN READINESS.
LONDON , Nov. 22. A dispatch from
Scbastopol to the Times Bays that the Black
bca fleet , which ten days ago was ordered to
lay up for the winter , has been recommls-
atoned. and that the troops rtitloned at
Odessa have been warned to be In readiness
fo ractlvo service.
A dispatch to the Dally News' from Con
stantinople says that a large number of
Turks were arrested In that city at day
break. They were hurried to the harbor
and placed on board a ship. Their destina
tion and the reasono for the arrests cannot
now bs determlntfu.
The correspondent of the Dally News at
Constantinople also telegraphs that unless
the courts which the sultan has promised to
establish In Armenia are carefully super-
vlflad there will be a bloody assize aflT the
massacres. Some of these courts to be es-
tnbllsliFd have tha right of rendering a
final decision upon all questions arising , and
It Is feared that many of the Turks will
t.iko advantage of this for the purpose of
necurliiK ppeedy and jiure vengeance , while
OHtcnslbly complying with all the forms of
the law.
The correspondent also announces that the
foreign and American papers giving accounts
of the revolt of the Arabs In the province
of Yemen , Arabia , have been forbidden ad-
mUsion to all towns of the Turkish empire ,
The Dully News this morning publishes
n telegram from Van , which elates that the
Kurd * have destroyed five villages In the
neighborhood of that town , and out of 13-
000 villagers , driven away at the time of the
attack , only 3,000 can be found ,
The Standard's Berlin correspondent says

not bo necessary to wild a second warship
to Turkey to aid In bringing about the. sup

Term for Cleveland.
ST. LOUIS , Nov. 22. Hon. J. Sterling
Morton , rccretary of agriculture , spent the
diy In St. Louis. He arrived here this morn-
Ins from the east , and after breakfasting
at the Planter's hotel , went across the river
to East St. Louis , where ho Inspected the
National Stock yardn and abattoir ? . He re
turned to the city this afternoon and thl *
evening ho left for Chicago to visit his sons.
In the course of an. Interview , Secretary
Morton paid ; "Why Dhoiild PrceldcntClove -
l" > nl ho opposed to a third term any more
than a bank president ? This Is not stating
that President Cleveland In a candidate for
a third term , for as to that no one knows
but hlms-eir. The talk of a third term has
been confined only to newspapers , nnd there
Is nn one who can fay he has ever heard
Mr. Cleveland give an expression on the sub
ject. I am not In n position to say whether
Mr. Cleveland will ba a candidate for a
third term. There Is one thing I can say , It
Is a business ) proposition , as Is the manage
ment of a bank. In the bank the buslnew
Is entirely confined to the finances of many
people. If a btnk president has proven him
self competent nnd faKhtul he Is ra-clccted ,
not only ones or twice , but a dozen ot times
or more. The business of a government Is
that of managing and preserving the Interests
of a people , of a nation , and maintaining
life , liberty nnd property , and It a bank
prcplJent Is elected many times , why should
It not bo so with the president of the United
States ? "
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 22. At a meeting of the
old numbers of the state democratic central
committee today , Chairman Mafllt was In
structed by a unanimous vote to Include In his
call for a meeting the nineteen now members
added to the committee by the I'ertle Springs
sliver convention last August. Later In the
day all the members of the committee now In
the city , new ones as well as old ones , met
at the request of Chairman Mafllt for an In
formal conference , when the chairman was
Instructed to Issue a call for a meeting- the
full committee of thirty-four members In this
city on Tuesday , December 3 , for tlio transac
tion of business , which means the beginning
ot a thorough party organization throughout
the state. This seemingly ends the strife ba-
twecn the gold and silver factions of the
party , which threatened to split over the
recognition of the members appointed by the
Pcrtlc Springs convention.

NEW YORK , Nov. 22. News has been

HAVANA , Cuba , Nov. 22. ( New York
World Cablegram'-Speclal Telegram. ) The
Spanish government could no longer hold
back the news that General Maceo and General -
oral Gomez had crossed with their respective
armies Into Santa Clara province , and finally
published the news officially. Both Cuban
generals have been In Santa Clara some
days , hence the moving of other Insurgent
troops further westward Into Matanzas
province.
General Antonio Maceo Is west of Santa
Esplrltu , In the Slguanca mountains. There
the S'panlsh had gathered together 10,000 or
12,000 troops , Including mountain artillery ,
with the Intention of defeating the famous
Cuban general , but they either did not meet
him or were defeated themselves. At nil
events , nothing Is mentioned of what hap
pened there. The Spanish are concentrating
all their forces around Santa Clara ( the cap
ital ) . It Is expected that an Important battle
will soon be fought In that neighborhood.
General Jose Maceo has crossed over Into
Puerto Principe- province , It Is offlclalty ac
knowledged , on his way west to Santa Clara.
Ho is said to bo at the head of 5,000 men.
The program of the Cuban rebels is being
carried out , and the Spanish troops appar
cntly can offer but slight raslstance. General -
oral Gomez has declared that he will operate
In earnest next month In the most Important
part of the Island. As the rebel forces con
tinue to push forward and advance further
west It Is appare-nt that they have selected
cither the province of Havana or Matanzas
for their battlefields.

PANIC AMONG THE GIRLS.
It was a few minutes before 0 o'clock this
morning when Rose Brace , employed by
Stern & Biers , on the third floor , noticed an
odor of smoke. She stepped out Into a hall
way , saw that the corridors were rapidly
filling with smoke and then gave an alarm.
Thirty girls were working In the room. In
stantly there was confusion. Although every
effort was made to check the frightened girl" ,
several opened the windows and climbed out
on the ledges.
Ono of Ine first to arpear at the third
story wlndo-v was Nellie Turner. She
screamed lor help and some one on the
ground shouted for her to jump. She did not
do this , however. A moment later she ap
peared at another window , near the fire es
cape , and climbed upon the sill. She clung
to the fire escap ? and commenced to descend.
Officer Flaaerty was also on the escape be
tween the first and second story , and when
he saw the girl above him he started up to
aid her. He was too late. She suddanly lost
her balance and fell headlong to tiu ! street.
Officer Flaherty tried to catch her , but could
net reach her. She was picked up almost
unconscious. The Injured girl was carried
Into a drug store and stimulants wsre ad
ministered , but she did not revive. She was
removed to the county hospital.
The fire started on the fourth floor. It Is

'Joe. " the janitor 6f 'the budding. Hs as
sured the girls that If they would remain
quiet and composed they would all get out
safely. He led as many ot them as he could
Induce to accompany him to the main stair
way and they reached the street without
Injury. Those who remained bslilnd , how
ever , fared worse.
DARING RESCUE OF ONE GIRL.
The escape of Olga Kellar of D75 Van Buren
avenue Is regarded as marvelous by those
who saw her when she appeared at a fourth
story window. Sha was employed by Stein &
Belrs , und when the room where she was
working began to fill with smoke she ran
to one of the windows overlooking Van
Buren street. She threw up the Bash , and
climbed out on the ledge , clinging with one
hand to the narrow strip of wood on the
outside of the sash. She saw a few feet be
low her the ladder on which two firemen
etood. and she was prepared to Jump.
"Walt ; don't Jump , " shouted Captain Her-
manson , who had at last reached the win
dow.
dow.Great
Great volumes of smoke poured out of the
window where the girl stood and at times her
form was entirely obscured. To the hundreds
of persons who were watching her from the
street the seconds seemed like hours. Cheer
after cheer went up for Captain Hermanson
as he climbed up. He had almost reached the
window when he suddenly stopped. None on
the street knew the cause. He had heard
the Kir ! scream , and as he looked up he &aw
her reel and release her hold on the window
casing. She had been overcome by the
smoke and had fallen. Captain Hermansnn
braced himself and as the unconscious form
dropped he seized It with his right arm. The
effort nearly coil him his own life , for he
narrowly escaped falling. From hundreds of
throats cheers were heard as the bravo cap
tain descended the ladder with his human
burden. He was greeted with unmistakable
signs of approval as he carried the girl across
the. street Into a drug store. She was un
conscious , but a physician said nlio would re
cover.
By noon the firemen thought the worst ol
the day's battle was past. They were mis
taken. Shortly before 1 o'clock a largo safa
on the fifth floor fell to tha fourth , carrying
It and the third , second and fir a I floors with
it. Flvc < men , members of Engine company
No. 2 , were working on the second floor , and
all were burled beneath the mass of brick ,
stone and timber. All were killed but Daniel
McNally. After nearly an hour's work the
rescuers had opened a passageway through
the pile of debris and succeeded In getting
close tmcugh to where the firemen were
burled to assure themselves that Lieutenant
O'Donnol was olive. Ho was just able to
talk , and It was with great difficulty that
his words could be heard. Men who know
him well recocnlzcd his voice.
"Is any one near you ? " one of the res
cuers shouted.
"Yes , " came back the answer faintly from
O'Donnel ,
v'JHow many ? "
"Two , "
"Alive or dead ? "
"Dead. I think. "
FIRE DROVE THEM BACK.
Gradually the llentennnt's voice became
weaker and his reply to the last question
was scarcely audible. The rescuers called
to him and asked him how seriously ho wan
Injured , but he could not make a reply. The
fire soon broke out again und the rescuers
were compelled to abandon their worlc.
O'Donnel's dead body was recovered at 7
o'clock tonight. There were forty-seven
tenants In the building , but many of them
were agents of eastern manufacturers , and
their loss will be small. The heaviest losers
are : Kuli , Nathan & Fisher , owners of
building , J100.000 ; D , H. Arnold & Co. ,
clothiers' supplies , { 20,000 ; S , Rcsenburg &
Co. , tailors' supplies , $20,000 : Stern & Biers ,
wholesale clothing , $50,000 ; Broadhuret , Lee
& Co. , cotton and woolen goods , $25,000 ; H.
D. Stryker , dry goods , $20,000.
The balance of the loss was divided among
the small c3tRbll8luncntB In the building , the
losses running all the way from a few hun
dred to several thousand dollars.

CHICAGO , Nov. 22. Eugene V. Dcb
vpoko In Central Music hall tonight to an
audience that taxed the seating and standing
capacity ot the hall. Most of the loading
labor organizations were represented , ami
the reception to the leader of the A. R. U.
was enthusiastic In the extreme. Eight car
loads of Debs' friends wwit down to Wood *
stock to greet him on his release from jail ,
and several thousand men were at the sta
tion ot the Northwestern road when the
train bearing Debs and his friends arrived
'
at'7:30 : o'clock. The reception given Debs.
ns he stepped from the train bordered on the-
frantic. Hundreds ot men struggled to get
a grasp of his hands , many of them hugged ,
him , and somu went to the length of kissing
him. Finally ho was tossed upon the
shoulders of four men , the crowd never fop
an Instant stopping Its shouts and cheers. Ho
was escorted to the hall , about ono mlle
distant. Tlio warmth ot the depot reception
was repeated , except that the men wore un-
nble to get close In him , and contented them *
selves with cheering and waving their hats.
The speech delivered by Mr. Dsba , which
was received with great applauss by his nu-
dtence , was In substance ns follows : "Man
ifestly the spirit of ' 76 still survives. The.
fires of liberty and nohlo aspirations are
not yet extinguished. I greet you tonight
as lovers of liberty and dcsplsers ot
despotism. I comprehend the e > lgnlflcanc3 or
this demonstration and appreciate the honor
that makes It posalblo for me to be your
guest on such an occasion. The vindication
and glorification of American principles of
government , as proclaimed to the world In
the Declaration ot Independence , Is the high
purpose of convocation. Speaking for my
self , personally , I am not certain whether
thla Is an occasion of rejoicing or lamenta
tion. I confess to a serious doubt as to
whether this day marks my deliverance
from bonds to freedom , or from freedom to
bondage. Certain It is , In the light
of rtcsnt judicial proceedings , that I
stand In your presence stripped of my con-
stltutlonal right as a freeman und blicrn of
the mo t sacred prerogatives of American clt-
Izenshtp , and what la true of myself Is trua
ot every other citizen who has the temerity
to protest against corporation rule or question
the absolute sway of the money power.
"Jt Is not law , or the administration of law , f
of which I complain. It is the flagrant viola- ! ;
tlon of the constitution , the total abrogation *
of the law and that murpatlcn of Judicial \
and despotic power , by virtue of which my ,
colleagues and myself were committed to Jail ,
against which 1 enter my solemn protest , and
any honest analysis of the proceedings must
sustain the haggard truth of the indictment. "
FAITH IN THE FUTURE.
The speaker hers gave the hls > ! ory of the
events leading up to his arrest and sentence ,
commenting freely thereon , and continuing ,
said : "In my vocabulary there are no walls
of despondency or detpalr. However gloomy
the future may appear to others , I hnvo an
gbldlng faith Jn the ulllmate triumph of the
rescuing
grasp "of the vandal Iiordo that has placed
them In peril by seizing the ballot and wield
ing It to regain the priceless heritage and to
preserve and transmit It without scar or
blemish to the generations yet to come.
"I am not here to assert the Infallibility
of the organization or its officials , or to claim
exemption from error. But I am here to
declare to every friend of American toll , regardless -
gardless of banner , name or craft , that If
the American Railway union has urred It
has been on the a'.do of sympathy , mercy
and humanity. "
Reverting to the. strike , Mr. Debs said :
"It must bo berne In mind that the Ameri
can Railway union did not challenge tha
government. It threw down no gauntlet to
courts or armies It simply resisted the In
vasion of the rights of worklngmen by cor
porations. It challenged and defied tha
power of corporations. Thrlco armed with a
ju t cause , the organization believed that
justice would win for labor n notable vic
tory , and the records show that Its confi
dence was not misplaced. The defeat of the
American Railway union involved questions
of law , constitution and government , which ,
all things considered , are without a parallel
In court and governmental proceedings under
the constitution of the republic. "
Continuing , the speaker said , referring to
the famous supreme court decision : "I
challtmg ; the woild to assign a reason why
a judge under the solemn obligation of an
oath to obey the constitution should , In 'a
temple dedicated to justlc ; , tab the magna
charta of American liberty to death In tlio
Interest of corporation ! ) that labor might bo
disrobed of Us Inalienable debts , and these
advocating Its claims to justice Imprisoned
as If they were felons ? "
Mr. Debs gave several reminiscences of hla
prison life , and , concluding , said : "From such
reflections I turn to the practical lessons
taught by this 'liberation day * demonstration.
It means that American lovers of liberty are
setting In operation forces to rescue their
constitutional liberties from thn grasp of mo
nopoly and Its mercenary hirelings. It means
that the people are aroused In view of Im
pending psrll , and that agitation , organization
and unification are to be fiio future battle
crlej of men who will not part with their
birthrights , and who , like Patrick Henry , have
the courage to exclaim : 'Give mo liberty , or
glvo me denthl' "
Ex-Governor Walle of Colorado was among
these who wtnt to Woodstock In the after
noon , and he was In the hall during tlio even
ing. There were loud calls for a cpeech from
him after Dibs had flnlthed his address , and
he was greeted with cheern ns he came to the
front of the platform. He said In substance :
"It Is with pride that I lay my tribute of
respect at the feet of Eugene V. Debs. A !
Etaln has been , put upon the judiciary of the
state , the constitution has been violated by
the Imprisonment of Debs , The decision of
the courts In the Dred Scott decision was to
apply to the slaves of the eouth. The de
cision of the courts In the Deba case re
duced to slavery all men. The United Slates
supreme court Is composed of men selected
by the corporations. When the constitution
was adopted corporations were only theoreti
cal. The Pacific railway and the demone
tization ot silver are examples of tlio de
moralized condition of the legislative portion
of the government. The debouchment of the
United Stated courts Is only another step In
that direction , It would b ? far better that
President Cleveland or any republican manage
the railways of the country lhaii that they bo
managed by European Rothschilds , The only ,
way out of the difficulty Is for the govern
ment to control the railways and the tele
graphs and all similar things. "
Several local speakers followed ex-Governor
Walto , and It was very late when the meet
ing broke up. _ _ _ _ _ _
