CONSTANTINOPLE , Dec. 9. ( Via Sofia ,
Bulgarki , Dec. 10. ) The long drawn out con
troversy between the ambassadors of the
powers and the sultan over the question ° '
the admission of additional guardshlps for
tlio protection of the embassies was settled at
8:1 : < ) o'clock this evening by the Issuance of
an Intilo granting the necessary firmans to
permit the guardshlps to paw the. Darda
nelles
The demand was first made upon the sul-
lan on November 19 , and scarcely a day has
jiaescd since then without Its being renewed
In a more or less peremptory manner. The
ingenuity displayed by the Turkish govern
ment In evading a direct answer to the de
mand , or when forced to answer , the effec
tive pleading put forth for delay had nlmort
brought the mind of Europe to the convic
tion that the demand would never be com
piled with. Meantime , days and weeks
parsed by without any action , and the con
dition of things In Constantinople that
brought out the demand has almost passed.
The final triumph of the powers In forcing a
compliance with their demands seems a bir-
rcn one , and the long Bought permission to
double the regular guardshlps for the em
bassies , now that It Is obtained , seems hardly
worth taking advantage of.

CONSTANTINOPLE , Dec. 9. ( Via Sofia ,
Bulgaria , Dec. 10. ) The- following account
lias Just been received of the massacre at
Ulttlls on October 23 : "The Turks , armed ,
nnsernbled In the mosques and several others
dressed as Armenians fired pistols In the
court yard of the mosque of Outoudjaml , near
the market place , In order to afford a pre
text for the massacre. The Turks then
raised the cries of 'Glauors' are attacking
the mosque. Then they combined In an at
tack upon the market. The Armenian
traders were1 massacred , their shops wcro
looted and the mob pillaged the Arme
nian quarters , killed women nnd
children. The rioters were aided by the
Kurdish tribes of Modgan and Khoutl- The
rflsturbances In the villages around exceeded
in ferocity these In the town Itself. Flvo
.villages were completely demolished.
"A report received here from Van states
that forty villages In that vicinity have been
devastated and plundered , and that the en
tire population , consisting of 14,000 persons ,
has been dispersed to the hills. Every
where , It Is added , there Is massacre , pil
lage , famine and lire at work In exterminat
ing the Armenians. .It Is also stated that
flfty villages around Slvas were devastated
by the Turks , Bazouks , soldiers and
gendarmes , while , the population fled and
wandered over the surrounding.country. The
village of Andreas , It Is further stated , was
attacked on October 28 , a number of the In
habitants were slain , and a number of old
men. women and children who sought refuge
in the church are said to have , been burned
alive. Only a few escaped to the moun
tains. The bugle of the troops , It Is as
serted , In this case was .Bounded for the at-
tock to begin , and the soldiers took part In
the massacre which followed.
"Rumors which ) mve apparent foundation
in fact arc current here of a wholesale con-
eplracy which has for Its object the deposi
tion of the sultan. It Is known n number of
prominent Armenians here and several mil
itary officers of high rank In the Turkish
army and navy have been closely Watched
lor months past , but In spite of this they
liavo succeeded In escaping from the coun
try. That Iho conspiracy was of a most Im
portant nature may be Judged from the fact
that among the fugitives Is the sultan's
aide-de-camp , Hassan DJeml Pasha , who , It
is believed , was to have led the * disaffected
of the Imperial guards Into the palace and
Bclzed .the . ? sultan. The report was circulated
today that the burning of the palace In which
the sultan entertained Imperial guests was
of Incendiary origin , and Intended as a sig
nal for n rising of Armenians , but there Is
nbsolutely nothing upon which to base It.
"No news has yet reached this city from
Zoltoun , which la still supposed to be In the
hands of the Armenians.
"Tho commission hent to estimate the loss
sustained by the American missionaries in
the riots nt Marash has fixed the amount at
$2,400 , The commission Investigating
damage to American missionaries' property
nt Kharput has not yet reported. "
Previous to leaving the British embassy ,
where he had taken refuge , Said Paoha , the
ex-grand vizier , requested the sultan to per
mit him to leave the country with his family.
Further advices are continually being re
ceived here of the unabated disorders In the
Interior , and especially of the burning of
Armenian villages. This form qf outrage is
particularly prevalent In the vlllayet of Van ,
whore the distress existing Is terrible.
The porto haw not yet granted the exequa-
tours to the new British vice consuls at Van
and Slvas , the Invariable policy of delay hav
ing been followed In this as well as In all
diplomatic dealings of the Turks. But Sir
Philip Currle , the British ambassador , has
determined the newly appointed vlco consuls
Hhal ! start for their pos-ts on next Wednes
day , with or without their exequateurs.
Fresh placards signed by the Ottoman com-
anlttee of progress and union of reform have
been posted throughout the capital today , and
particularly in the Kasslm Paslia quarter.
These placards contain a manifesto denounc
ing the present regime of spoliation and op-
profilon and calling upon all , without dis
tinction to religion , to unite In demanding jus-
itlce , liberty and reform. If the demands are
refused the1 manifesto appeals to Osmanlt to
remove In another manner the stains upon
the nation's name.

"How about Maher nnd Fltzslmmons ,

"Well , you want my candid opinion , do
you ? Wtlt , I think it depends on which

Mention of the name of Peter Jackson
prompted John to devote some of his
garrulity to colored fighters In general. "No
man of principle , " said John , "will fight In
a ring with a colored man. No man can say
I ever refused to fight when th ; time came for
a fight , but I never would fight with a

gation from that city to several thousand
people. Two special trains of ten coaches
each which came from Lexington were packed

Colonel Bradley , with his wife and
daughter arrlveU last night on a special train

The public buildings , stores and residences

prayer.
Judge W. II. Holt delivered the address of
parting and welcome. Then came- the valedic
tory of th * retiring governor , John Young
Brown.
Governor-elect Bradley then followed with
an address , as follows :
BRADLEY S PATRIOTIC TALK.
The credit and , honor of the state nnd na
tion are of the first Importance. The re
cent popular verdict , which declared , ln
favor of the use of both gold and silver as
money , but at the same time the mainte
nance of the best and highest standard , so
that every dollar shall be of equal value ,
should be accepted and adhered to ; and
while public credit should be protected , we
should none the less favor a well regulated
system of protection to every branch of
American Industry ; such a system as will
encourage genius , nourish and Increase di
versified industries , maintain and enlarge a
horns market and protect every honest son
of toll from the degradation of competition
with the pauper labor of the world.
Together with this should be fostered that
reciprocity which will insure free exchange
of our products with other nations for com
modities which cannot be successfully
grown or manufactnred In this country.
The accomplishment and maintenance of
these economic measures will develop our
resources , advance our material prosperity
and give to Kentucky the position she Is
entitled to occupy In the sisterhood of
state ? .
Above all things the constitution and laws
within Its spirit must be enforced. Every
citizen shall be protected in life , liberty
and property at whatever -ost , I solemnly
appeal to the people in every locality and
to the officers of the state for a faithful ,
energetic and fearless enforcement of the
law. Nothing can be more effective In the
suppression of crime than the cultivation1
and expression of a healthy public centi
me-it which will hold In just execration
every criminal , more especially the mur
derer and assassin.
Mob violence , which has Its homo In the
breasts of cowards , should be prevented at
all hazards ; and. If committed , should bo
properly and severely punished. Such ac
tion la an open declaration of the want of
confidence In the courts , and. Instead of
promoting , does serious Injury to the wel
fare of the state. The commission of crime
to punish crime can llnd no apologist in a
Christian civilization.
I shall do right , as God enables me to
see the right ; be just as He enables me to
determine what Is just , and , by the love
that I cherish for the state of my birth , do
all that within me lies to advance her pros
perity , enforce her laws , protect her citi
zens nnd maintain her honor , remembering
always that I am not a governor of a
party , but of all the people.
The oath of office was administered by
Chief Justice Pryor. Standing with his head
bared , beneath the Amerlpan flag , with his
right hand uplifted , the left resting on th ?
bible , Colonel Bradley repeated the words
which made him the chief executive of the
grand old commonwealth.
SOMETHING OF HIS LIFE.
William O'Connell Bradley was born In
Lancaster , Garrard county , Ky. , March _ ] 8 ,
1847. He was obliged to quit school at the
ago of 14 , and ran away several times and
enlisted In the union army , but on account
of his youth his father took him home. In
1SG5 , having passed a creditable examina
tion , the legislature passed the first act of
the kind In Kentucky , enabling him to se
cure a license to practice law , he being only
IS years of age.
Bradley rose rapidly In his profession and
for many years has stood In the front rank
In Kentucky , It 1870 he was elected prose
cuting attorney. In 1872 he was the re
publican nominee for congress , being de
feated by a small majority. In 1876 and 1878
ho was renomlnatcd , but ill health com
pelled him to decline the latter nomination
and also that for governor In 1879.
In 1880 ho was a delegate-at-large to the
Chicago convention and was then chosen to
represent Kentucky on the national com
mittee , which place he still holds.
In 1887 Colonel Bradley made the race for
governor against General Simon Bolivar
Buckner , the Ideal of Kentucky southern
soldiers.
In 1888 he was sent to the national con
vention as a delegate at-large , and every
Kentucky delegate was Instructed to sup
port him for the nomination for vice presi
dent. In 1892 he again headed the Ken
tucky delegation at Minneapolis.
Governor Bradley is a little below medium
height , with great physical strength and re
markable energy and Industry. lie and his
family , which consists of his wife and
daughter , the latter aged 17 years , are
Scotch-Irish Presbyterians.
This evening Governor Bradley and faintly
will b ? entertained at 'dinner by ex-Governor
Brown In the executive mansion. Tonight

convention , refers to the request of the
Trades nnd Labor assembly of St. Louis tha
tlie charter of the Musicians Mutual Benefit
association No. 5575 be revoked because the
latter organization refused to strike to sup
port the theatrical stage employes. The coun
cil refused to revoke the charter and pre
sents these reasons for adoption in Its report
CONTRACTS TO DE RESPECTED.
Ttcso'ved , That no central body or state
federation ultlllntecl with tlie A. P. of L
shall hnvo the right to expel or suspend
delegates of any local or national union for
refusing to violate a contract existing with
the employers.
Among the resolutions handed up for ac
tion by the committee on resolutions was
one presented by E. H. Dlehl , delegate from
the Patternmakers' National league. The
resolutions recite that there are laws re
stricting the. employment of laborers and
mechanics on government work to not more
than eight hours per day , and that it Is pos
itively known that the ofllclals of the Treas
ury department not only do not enforce the
law , but openly violate It , and that the offi
cials tend to pervert the efforts of the trades
and labor union to shorten the working day.
Then it was :
Resolved , That the executive council of
the A. F. of L. Is hereby directed to pre
pare charges under general order No. S9S
of thu Treasury denartmnent , Issued August
C , 1892 , to the president of the United States
against the secrtary of the treasury , who ,
being cognizant of such violation , has failed
to have said law covering the eight-hour
work day properly compiled with. It is
' '
further
Resolved , That the deletfafes to the con
vention believe Jt to be of paramount Im
portance that the head of the government

accountability.
The resolutions were referred to the com
mittee on resolutions.
Dflcgate Kennedy of Omaha Introduced a
resolution In favor of the free coinage of sil
ver at a ratio of 1G to 1 , without conferring
with "any othfr nation on earth. "
As the committee' on resolutions reported
In favor of a resolution limiting the hours of
labor of the journeymen horseshoers to nine
hours the report was brought before the con
vention for confirmation. Opposition was
shown to th.report being adopted without It
being sent to the special committee on shorter
houri for labor.
MONEY READY FOR THE FIGHT.
"All we want Is the authorization of the
convention to go ahead with our fight for
shorter hours of labor , " said Delegate Len-
han , who Introduced the resolution. "Wo
have $10.000 In the bank with which to make
our fight. We ask no financial aid of this
association ; we want your moral support. But
we will go ahead whether you give It or
not. "
The convention voted to send the report to
the committee' on shorttr hours.
Protests from the Iron Moulders' union of
St. Louis and of the Journeymen Brewers'
National association against the seating of
Delegate Joseph Ferris were sustained by the
ccmmlttco on credentials.
"What are the grounds of his rejection ? "
uelteil a delegate. ,
Chairman Klderkln of the committee read
a long report In which It appeared that Ferris
had not been regularly electtd.to the conven
tion , as he represented only himself , and no
central labor organization of Springfield , III , ,
from which he claimed to come.
Patrick McUryde of the Mine Workers"
union moved that the report of the commit
tee on credentials be rejected. It was seconded
ended by another delegate , who , however , a
moment later withdrew his request. It was
learned that It Ferris were admitted motions
would be made to seat many who had been
denied admission because theyi were 'social
ists.
ists.Tho
The amendment to reject the report of the
committee on credentials , rejecting Ferris ,
was then voted down and a motion was car
ried confirming the report of the commit
tee.

The convention then adjourned until tomor
