Britain Said to Have Sent an
Ultimatum to the Sultan.
MANY WARSHIPS IN THE LEVANT
The Death Dealers Are Ready to Respond
to a Signal From the British Ambassa
dor at Constantinople—Rumored That
Dr. Jameson la to Wed —Englishmen
Watchlug Our Political Campaign.
[Copyrighted, 1896, by Associated Press.l
London, Sept. 5. —The recent atroci
ties at Constantinople have been earn
estly and thoroughly discussed by all
classes during the last week, and have
aroused the feelings of Europe to such
an extent that they will cause the pow
ers to force the sultan to make a change
of administration in his empire. There
is already evidence that the bugbear of
a general European war is no longer
sufficient to guarantee Turkey immu
nity from its misdeeds. The warships
k of various nations are gathering in the
' Levant, led by a squadron consisting of
a score of British ships which are ready
to respond to a sign from Sir Philip
Currie, the British ambassador at Con
stantinople. The latter arrived at his i
post Friday, armed, it is understood,
• with instructions from the Marquis of
Salisbury to compel the sultan by de
mands on the part of the Great Britain,
either in conjuction with representa
tives of other powers, or, failing then to
take action alone.
That Great Britain means business is
emphasized by the fact that prior to his
departure Sir Philip Currie received a
communication from the queen for de
livery in person to the sultan. In this
communication, it is believed, her
majesty conveys to the sultan kindly
warning of the approachin,* storm. Ab
dul Hanud has a profound respect for
the queen and her letters to him are
never without effect.
Duke and Duchess at Blenheim.
The Duke and Duchess of Marlbor
’ ough are at present at Blenheim, whore
extensive alterations and improvements
have begun. The Prince of Wales has
promised to visit them on November 23
and will remain a week.
The rumor that Dr. Jameson is to
marry the Dowager Countess Dudley,
daughter of Sir Thomas Moncreiffe and
widow of the first Earl of Dudley, who
died in 1885. is revived by the frequent
visits which the countess has been pay
ing to the prisoner in Holloway jail and
the fact that she showed the keenest in
terest in the trial.

The political campaign in the United
States continues to be watched here
with intense interest. Mr. Henry La
bouchere, in Truth, devotes three pages
to the situation, during the course of
which he says:
Wants to See Bryan Defeated.
“I am one of the warmest admirers of
the United States in Europe. lam a
Democrat of Democrats in the true sense
of the word, and I believe that one of
the greatest dangers to the Democracy
of America is that the huge accumula
tion of the capital is in the hands of the
few. But as a Democrat, and one de
sirous that the cause of Democracy
should everywhere prevail and as an
admirer of the sterling common sense
of the Americans, I sincerely trust that
Bryan will be defeated.”
Truth also comments on the rise in
the prices of American securities on the
Stock Exchange and says there are dis
tinct signs that the large English capi
talists are picking up lowpriccd shares
and taking their chances on the election.
The Trades Union congress of Great
Britain will open at Edinburgh on Mon
day ami will close on Sept. 12. It is ex
pected that about 350 delegates will be
present and that the German trades so
cieties will also be represented, their
delegate being Herr Von Elm, a mem

Chairman of the PopWllst National Com
mittee Returns to North Carolina.
Raleigh, Sept. 5. —Senator Marion
Butler has returned to North Carolina
and the Populists are jubilant over the
cordial conference between Tom Wat
son and himself.
Senator Butler has thoroughly fa
miliarized himself with the situation in
Georgia, and will advise the leaders in
that state as to what tactics they had
best adopt. He has compared the con
ditions with- the situation in North
Carolina, and it is stated that the Popu
lists will agree to no fusion which will
make them cast their ballots for Sewall.
It has been asserted t*t the Populist
and Democratic chairm* i had actually
arranged the matter in North Carolina,
but this is denied. There are those, how
ever, who believe that at the very last
moment fusion will actually be accom
plished, that is if Senator Butler con
sents to the proposition, as he is the real
head and front of the party in the Tar
Heel state.
As it is now, however, it is said that
the only fusion Senator Butler will
agree to is the Bryan and Watson ticket.
He wishes Sewall withdrawn and will
not agree for his party to support him.
The situation in this state is growing
interesting. A great fight is brewing
on. Senator PritcVyil Lv .the P.app’ist?.

BUSINESS DEMORALIZED.
Southern Pacific and Western Passenger
Association In a Wrangle.
San Francisco, Sept. s.—The South
ern Pacific company has become in
volved in an interesting traffic squabble
with the railroads in the Western Pas
senger association.
The bone of contention is the immi
gration business which originated in
New York and to secure its snare of the
traffic the Southern Pacific has ef
fected a combination with the Seaboard
Air Line for the purpose of handling
such business destined to California and
other western points as it can control
via New Orleans and the Sunset route.
Within the past few days the fight be
tween the opposing lines has reached
such an acute stage that the enormous
commission of sl4 a ticket is now being
offered to agents for the purpose of se
curing the business. The heavy com
mission, it is learned, is being used to
cut the tariff rate, and the whole im
migrant business has reached a condi
tion of demoralization that has seldom
been known before.
With the idea of bringing the hostili
ties to a close and to restore peace and
tariff rates, the Western Passenger as
sociation has asked the Southern Pacific
company te be a member of that organ
ization. But Vice President Stubbs of
the Southern Pacific company says that
the prospects of such an arrangement
are very slender, for the reason that the
Western Passenger association is will
ing to agree to any proposal for an
equitable distribution of business.

ParUchui’e Palled totVotk; Aeronaut Killed
Bardstown, Ky., Sept. s.—Thomas
Holmes, an aeronaut, who was with
Cooper & Co’s, circus, was killed here
Friday afternoon at the Nelson county
fair while making an ascension. When
at a great height Holmes cut the para
chute loose, but it failed to work prop
erly and while descending rapidly, he
lost his hold on the trapeze bar and fell,
landing in a tree and then falling to the
ground, a distance of 80 feet. Both of
his arms and legs were broken and his
body badly mangled. He died half an
hour after the accident happened.

New York, Sept. s.—Mrs. Nat C.

her husband for five years, and who
was recently sued for divorce, has filed
a counter suit for divorce and will fight
the action against her.
RIOT BAWJfflfflD
A Mob Pursues Dillon Through
the Streets of Dublin.
STONES AND OTHER MISSILES FLY
The Irish Leader and Friends Accompany
ing Him Had to Seek Refuse In a Hotel.
Stormy Fading of the Irish National
Convention —The American Delegates
Called Tramps.
Dublin, Sept. 5.—A thousand roughs
followed John Dillon through Sackville
street at the close of the Irish national
convention, shouting: “To h— with
Dillon!” and similar hostile cries. Soon
stones and other missiles began flying.
Mr. Dillon and some 50 or 60 friends,
who were escorting him, replied by
singing: “God Save Ireland.”
The riotous demonstration speedily
grew to such proportions that the police
on duty were not able to cope with it,
and reinforcements had to be hurried to
the scene. The police soon turned into
Sackville street in strong numbers and
were just in time to prevent serious re
sults, for there were threats of thrash
ing, ducking and even lynching Dillon,
causing him and his party to hurriedly
take refuge in the Imperial hotel, which
was promptly surrounded by a strong
force of police.
At the opening of the day’s session,
Dean Harris of Toronto attacked the
Dublin newspapers for “foully insult
ing” a delegate from Ottawa, Mr. Hea
ney charging that he was a “compan
ion and escort of the spy Lecaron. ” In
a moment the air resounded with yells
of "Cowards!” Traitors!” etc.
When order was somewhat restored
Dean Harris declared that Mr. Heaney’s
career in Canada had been a most hon
orable one.
Heaney Repels the Charge.
Mr. Heaney made a telling speech,
hotly repelling the charge made by the
Dublin press. He was loudly cheered.
A resolution, calling for information
regarding the disposition of the so
called “Paris funds” was offered, but
withdrawn.
Mr. Dillon explained later that the to
tal amount paid over was $192,358.75, of
which sum $70,000 was deposited in
bank to meet prior claims, which are
still unadjusted. Out of the balance,
$115,423.83 was distributed to evict ten
ants and $1,975 was devoted to office
expenees. The balance is in bank and
not a farthing, he asserted, has been
paid to any Irish member of parliament
or for any political purpose.
The home rule resolution offered by
Mr. Dillon was then taken up.
Canon McOartin declared that the
leaders of the Liberal party are no
friends of Ireland. He was frequently

ciation of the Liberals, and the uproar
became so great, he was called to order
by the chairman.
Mr. Fitzgerald of London, contended,
amid loud interruptions from the gal
leries, that the "time has arrived to
make English government of Ireland
Impossible.”
P. J. Ryan of New York vigorously
denied the assertion or the Parnellite
press that the American delegates are
nothing more than a “lot of tramps.”
He explained that they are well worthy
of representing the Irishmen of the
United States. Then he urged Mr. Dil
lon to “mercilessly crush every one
standing in the way of unity” and
pledged him the support of every Amer
ican in carrying out this policy.
Home Rale Resolution Adopted.
The home rule resolution, reasserting
the “immemorial claim of Ireland as a
nation, ’ ’ and declaring the necessity of
mafnfalnlng the Irish Parliamentary
party, absolutely independent of all
English political parties,'was then unan
imously adopted.
Edward Blake, M. P., made a state
ment on the subject of the parliamentary
funds, declaring that there is not the
shadow of foundation for the charge
that, the votes of Irish members are in
fluenced by the disposition of a penny
of the Irish funds.
Mr. Michael Davitt offered a resolu
tion in favor of amnesty for all political
prisoners. He strongly denounced the
“system of semi-starvation” in the pris
ons, and compared their treatment with
that of Dr. Jameson and his companions
in the Transvaal raid.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Several resolutions on the subject of
land and taxation were amalgamated
and unanimously adopted, as also were
resolutions in favor of disseminating
knowledge of Irish history, providing
for the cultivation of the Irish language,
and urging the purchase of articles of
Irish manufacture.
T. P. O’Conner, M. P., proposed the
grateful thanks of the people of Ireland
to the delegates from the United States
and Canada amid tumultuous applause.
Dean Harris of Toronto returned
thanks for Mr. O’Connor’s motion,
which was carried unanimously. Then
the dean offered a resolution, which was
adopted, culling upon the Irish Parlia
mentary party to issue an appeal for
funds to the Irish throughout the wor d
this autumn.
The convention then dissolved.
