'In consequence of the events that took place at Ourfa , the local authorities adopted wise measures , thanks to which peace was secured.

' "The leading Armenians of Erzeroum paid a vlfclt to Marshal Chaklr I'asha and to the vail of nrzeroum and expressed to them their regrets for the disorders provoked by the Armenian revolutionists. They at the name time presented their thanks for the. meas ures taken concerning the treatment of the wounded , the care of the destitute and the care of churclm and schools.

The rc nt storms plsytd sad havoc with shipping along the English canal and the coas-t of the Atlantic. The chief officer and five of the crew of the American ship Belle 0'Hrynn of Thomaston , Me. , owned by H. O'tltlcn , landed at Kerry- head , near Trail ? , from n umall boat.

KNHW TUB K1IISTAPOM2ON WUM * . of 31. llnrtliflmy St. Illlurc In London. LONDON , Nov. 24. The Dally News this morning announces the death of M. Bart- helmy St. Hllare. He was a little more than 00 years of age at the tlnu of his death and wnu probably the only man living who retained a clear personal recollection of Napoleon I. The first occasion was March 31 , 1814. whsn the allied armies entered Paris. The sufferings of that day were the more strongly Imprespsd upon his mind because they were associated with the physi cal pain of an attack of ophthamla , a malady that troubled htm all his life. He had a better view of Napoleon In 1815 at a review In the Champs ) de Mars. The last glimpse that ho caught of Napoleon occurred a few weeks later , as he walked on the terrace of the Tulllleries. M. St. Hllare was a writer of considerable note for the English papers. The Dally News announces the death of Lord de Tabley , the poet. Baron Ichn Byrne Lycester Warren de Tabley , the only son of Baron George de Tabley. was born In 1835 , was educated at Eton , and was a lawyer by profepslon. He a Ira wrote a great deal for the magazines. _ nS KOIl THIS PACIFIC CAIIMJ. London TluifM MnUi-M I'ulillc 1'laiin olIn ( InAlfnIK LONDON , Nov. 24. The Times publishes an article'on the Pacific cable and the pro posed steamship service to Canada direct. It says the success of the movement Is largely due to Canada. The government docs not intend to subsidize the Australian-Pa cific service from Australia to Vancouver. It Is also understood the government will only subsidize the Atlantic section of the service In consideration that better time can be made over the Canadian Pacific rail way than can now be made under exletlng circumstances. In the cable schemes the principle Is recognized that In order to have British connections exclusively the line must In the first instance be carried westward from the center. By acceptance of this prin ciple Canada obtains a position she has never before occupied , a the main highway of the British empire. ISIC HIIIII.S : AVIVICTORIES. .

To the Editor of the New York World : I hear that my remarks concerning the United States , made In the recent Interview published In El Imperial , were construed as having an un friendly tone , and that I Intimated that there was nn unfriendly feeling between Spain and the United States on the subject of Cuba. Headers of that Interview should observe with clearness that I was actuated only b)1 filendly sentiments. It Is true I thought the United States ultimately might recog nize the- Insurgents as belligerents , because I was acquainted with the course of public sentiment throughout that great nation. The American colonies went to war with their mother country and separated from her , and It Is surely a broad-minded view to assume- It natural for the American people to re member their own national history. I have been Informed that the North Americans entertain sympathy for the rebellion to a general extent. If I have anticipated recog nition , It was because of this popular senti ment. This was on general principles. Al though a government may not be disposed to commit Itself , I can understand how n government created by the people and subor dinate- the people would yield to the public , I have , however , great confidence In the sober common sense of the people of the Ui.lted States , which always is asserted at the last moment , and which , has been a predominant feature In the development of the nation's greatness. I think the Cuban belligerents' position at present gives them no claim upon the United States ? for recognition. There Is an active icbelllon in Cuba , but Insurgents hold no seaports no Interior town. There , are- numer ous villages ) named on the map which con sist of five or ten huts. Sometimes the In- suigents remajn for a period of tlmo In on ? of thesQ hamlHs. When I tend a column of troops to It they disappear Jn the wild , path- les country that exists In the only dls'rlcts In which they operate. The great North American boldler. General Grant , ably cov ered the-subject of recognition of the belliger ency of the rebels In the former revolution. He stated , In a public document with which I am familiar , that there was no ground for him to rscognl/.e Cuban belligerency when the people who bought recognition held no port or town. President Grant created n precedent , and I hear now from Madrid that the- government does not anticipate any overt acts of unfrltndlln s on the part of the United States. I sincerely hope that thla may always prove true , for I have allowed myself to entertain the wish that the two countries , mine own and the- American re public , might aluajK maintain th ? friendly relations' which have characterized the past. General Grant held that anjthing- that would caiibe trouble between this country and Eu rope would be lamentable.Vo would havt the worst end of It , and I would be sorry for that.

The agreement provides that every railroad In the combination shall make and maintain the transportation rates pre scribed by a board of managers representing all the roads. This ' ' . a conspiracy In re strain ! of trade and commerce , under the act of July 2 , IS'.iO. The agreement also makes certain that alt competition shall be abolished as above required by Imposing heavy fines upon nny offending road , which fines are to bo applied for the benefit of the other roads. This Is a division of earnings contrary to section C of the Interstate commerce law. law."This "This trust and pooling- agreement can be annihilated as provided by explicit existing laws of the United States' , first , by Injunc tion from the courts ; second , by nn order of the Interstate Commerce commissioner or third , by an Indictment of the Individuals signing the same. "It can easily be stopped by a vigorous appeal front you to J. Plerrepont Morgan , whoso power over the nine governors of the nine trunk lines Is as > absolute as It was over the- bond syndicate. It cannot be possible yon Intend to take upon your administration the responsibility of fastening upon your burdened and helpless people this , the hugcst tiust the world ever saw or that was ever conceived of , when ono earnest word from jou to your fresh attorney general , your ambitious chairman of your commission , or your omnipotent banker friend will paralyze the Iniquity In Its Inception.

Postmaster General Wilson made his first annual re port to the public of the lecelpts of the Postofllco department for the year ending Jun ; 30 , 1M > 5 , It shows the receipts to have been J7C.171.090 and the expenditures $ SG- 790.172. It Is 'gratifying , says the report , that a large portion of the deficiency occurred In the first quirter of the year and that rev enues an Increasing with returning pros- tperUy. Mr. Wilson estimates the revenue ifor the year ending June 30 , 1897 , at $89- 793,130 and the expenditures at $01,817.900 , the difference to be made up by congressional appropriations. Speaking of the deficiency , Mr. Wilson 'says ' : "Tho regular annual dsflclency In the tevenuea of the postal service , emphasised , ws It appears to ftp , bythe - unusual amount should bosolf-BUS ng. Dut It Vliodld be remembered that the' fr fr business done by this department for other branches and depattments of the gov ernment , If paid for "at regular or cost irate * . would more than wipe out Its deficiencies. " The postmaster general refers lo the growth of the frse delivery service , and says : "I believe It Is good policy for con gress and for this department to foster the extension of this service by Judicious ap propriations and judicious administration. The vigorous and effective efforts of my Immediate- predecessor BJcin to have pro duced at least an honest administration of the eight hour law , and mart 2 letter carrier trip and ofllclal time reports actual and truthful records of service. To bring about this substantial reform , just alike to the department and to the carriers , as well as the public , and for other necessary improve ments In this service , a special examina tion of ths carrier system was begun under his administration. Involving a thorough examination Into the needs of and details of the system. " He concurs In ths recommendations of the first postmaster general for promoting the efficiency of the work. Mr. Wilson reIterates - Iterates the necessity of legislation to punish train urppkfnir nml nhRtrnntlnn nf MIA ninllK urged by his predecessor , and recommends legislation authorizing the uee of private postal cards. Concerning the abuses of second-class mall matter , Mr. Wilson says : "I can add little to the reasons given by Postmaster General Olssel .and Postmaster General "Wanamaker for amendments to the law as to second-class matter , Imperatively needed to pave the postal service from enormous abuses and con sequent enormous loss of revenue , which no regulations ) of the department or watchfulness of Us officials can guard against. I respect fully and earnestly recommend to congress a careful scrutiny Into the abusa and such remedial legislation as shall be deemed ueces- sury and effective foi Its correction. " Upon another feature of the second-class matter the postmaster general says : "The vclume of second-class matter passing through the nialln Increases ) rapidly , and has reached such proportions as to seriously retard the distribution of malls In < hj- larger postofrlccs and railroad postofllces. The department , through 'Is ' local representatives , has repeat edly urged publishers to separate their pub lications by fetates and roit'es , where the quantity of any one state or territory Is suffi cient to justify It , before sending them to the mailing offices , and has endeavored lo show them that their own Interests would bo subserved thereby. " Postmaster General Wilson says : "The civil service rules should be extended wher ever practicable. The magnitude and multi plicity of Itu business operations , the perfec- tlon'of service which the people- are learning to demand and the palpable truth that such business operations can be carried on and such perfect service rendered only by men trained and expert ; all these and many other reasons call for > uch stability of tenure ut alone can command or beget the- requisite training , skill and enthusiasm. The con tinuity of the department should ba preserved In change * of administration , not only along the line of Us subordinate and separate serv ice , but In that larger grasp of Iti hlntory , Its dally work and Its healthful progress , which la found alone with those who direct , and control Its chief bureaus , I concur , therefore ? In trie judgment of onef , my recent preda : ceesors , that afltast'tbree of lhEetHltfant postmasters general should hold tltilr&fjinc by a civil service , or merit tenure , by a political tenure.

Snow was as wel come as rain. No voice was heard to grum ble , but on the con'iarj ' , the universal wlsl w.is for more. Ono of the unmlsUkablo signs of the sea son was the Hppearanc" of the smoepers oil the street railway. These were out early , and were kept husj. In spite of them , how ever , trains had great dtfllculty In moving , TO fast did the snow lull. On the Hanscotn park line iiulto n novellv In the sweeper line was shown. Instead at the open platform on which the manipulators of the revolving brooms stand to huiidlo the levers , n com fortable house had l > fl n built , with n stove affording perfect piotcctlon for the men. Then , Instead , of tUpundlns on the adhesion of the brush to the pavement to drive the brooms , a motor Is nllitchcd to each , driven by a current from the trolley wires , so that the motion Is positive. Tills gives certainty of cleaning the tracks between the rails. As the night wore along the temperature fell iillghtly , a'lid ' the light snow became harder , till nt 10 o'clock It was almost sleet. All the country \vlthlti 100 miles of Omalri was experiencing the sama storm , whllo from Chadron and Hlong the line between the report was of a heavy fall of snow , con tinuing for at lead Iwstvc hours.

While li i-omes too late to beef of much benefit to fall wheat and rje , It will undoubtedly save some of these crops , and at the same tlnu It goes far to Ins'uro good crop conditions for the early spring. A foot of snow now tolluv\ed by a reabomblo amount dmlng the wlni'r means much for Nebraska. Not onlj does It Insure good crop condition ! ) , but It furnishes water for cattle on the lungs , doubly bonelltlntf the farmer and stock raiser.

The eighth annual convention of the Transmlssls- slppl Commercial congress will be called to order at Crelghton hall at U o'clock this forenoon and the sessions will continue until probably Friday afternoon. This Is by far on ; of the most representative bodies that the city has had the privilege of vmtcrtalnlng and nothing has betn left undone that may con tribute toward > ho pleasure or profit of the guects. The mai.agcrs of the. congress have prepared a program of discussions , which In cludes almost every subject that Is of Inter est to the dwellers west of the MtHslsslppI , and UK the speakers are men cf more than usual ability , there Is every reason to believe that tht convention will be one of the most profitable nnd enjoyable In the history of the organization. Many of the delegates arrived jcstcrday and took up their quarters at the various hotels. Yesterday's arrivals comparatively few , however , and It Is not expected that the full jrrength of the convention will bo mustered bsfore Tuesday morning. AB It Is gciisrally understood that the drat day of the conven tion Is usually devoted to organization and loutlno matters , In which the generality of the members have-cnly a secondary Intercut , a great many of the delegates prefer to spend Sunday at home and arrive In time for the second day , when the more Inercstlng fca- tuiss of the convention arc taken up. KXKCUTIVE COMM1TTKB BUSY. Among the early arrivals were 11. R. Whit- more of St. Louis and W. II. Culmcr of Salt Lake , chairman and secretary respectively of the executive committee.

Mr. Whltmore docs not anticipate reSsrd vvlll b : broken In point of attendance , as there arc several circumstances which will operal ? to keep many at home who would like to participate In the convention. In the fliht place the managers have cncount ted a rnag In the refusal of most of the railroads to make npicial terms for the delegates. The delegates form Texas and pointy west of Ogden will have to pay tfull fare for the round trip , and as attendance at the con vention Involves no manner of compensation nuts'd ' ? of the Ideas that are to be acnnlrcd , It Is not every one. who IP willing to go to the expense required. Omaha has the dif ficulty to contend with that It IB located at nearly the extreme northeast of the territory from which the congress Is drawn , so that the failure : to obtain rates will be a more potent factor In decreasing the attendanca than would bo the case If the convention point was more centrally located. At the San Francisco convention the Mid winter fair assisted In Inducing the attend ance of delegates , and very low rates were obtained. As the present convention meets under very different circumstances , Mr. Whltmore Inclines to be belief that If the attendance Is much less than It was at San Francisco , It will bo no reason wbyani' one Kliould feel disappointed. WILL DISCUSS FREIGHT RATES. As far as the convention Itrelf Is con.- * ' ' cerned , Mr. Whltmore expects that It will 10 marked by exceptional Interest. "I do tot think the silver question wll ) play much of a part In the proceedings , " he con- Inued. "That has lout ground recently and s no longer a subject of first Interest. The natter of freight discriminations will un doubtedly bo on ? of the best subjectu on the irogiam , end the discussions pf forestry , Ir- Igatlon , harbors and de p waterways , and the Nicaragua canal , will be attended with niicli Interest. I do not expect that there will be anything like a full attendance to- norrow mornlnc , but that Is usually the casd , and later trains will undoubtedly hrliij ; n a l&ige mnnhr of additional delegates , who do not care' lo travel all night In order o participate In the organization.
