THE SULTAN YIELDS WILL SIGN THK PLAN OF RE FORM IN ARMENIA As Demanded by England, Frv^ce and Russia. A special cable dispatch from Com stantinoplo is to the effect that Saia Pasha has accepted the scheme for re form iu Armeuia drawn up by Great Britain, France and Russia, and it now awaits the signature of the sultan. The scheme is almost identical with the proposals of last May, in sub stance, that the governors and vice governors of Van Erzeroum, Sivan, Kharut and Trebisond, bo Christians or Mussulmans, according to the in clination of the population; but either the governor or vice governor is to be a Christian, and the appointments are to be confirmed by the powers. Local and state officials are to collect the taxes and enough money is to be re tained before it is forwarded to Con stantinople to pay the expenses of the local administration. Completechanges will be made in tho judicial system. Torture will be abolished. Tbe police will be composed of Christians and Turks equally, and the laws against compulsory conversions to Islamism will be strictly enforced. The ambassadors of the powers ex pect that the whole question will be finally settled daring the course of the week by the promulgation of an impe rial decree. Contrary to general ex pectation the high commissioner who will be charged with the execution of this scheme of reform will be a Chris tian. This was the hardest pill for the Porte to swallow and for a long time it threatened to bring about the most serious complications. INSURANCE MEN ARRESTED. A Bitter War Is On Between Them at Chattanooga, Tenn. Eight members of the executive committee of the Knoxville, Tenn., board of underwriters who arrived at Chattanooga Tuesday afternoon to arbitrate tbe long standing differences between the board and the local agent, met with a very warm reception. Capiases were served on them as they walked into the corridors of tho Bead House,charg ing conspiracy against the Chattanoo go public by means of a trust to con trol rates. They found no trouble in securing bondsmen and marched in a body from the courthouse to the ap pointed moeting place, where they found all the local agents except the three prosecutors awaiting them. The arrested officials were President J. A. Thomas and Charles Matthews, of Nashville; W. H. Wheeler, ,T. C. Johnson, Frank Snyder and J. H. Curry, whom they propose to make manager at Chattanooga to see that the terms arrived at are observed by the agents, all of Louisville. C. B. Thompson, of Covington; W. J. Dean, of Atlanta, and C. T. Band, of Louis ville, were given similar treatment on a former visit. It seems inevitable that the obstinate agents will be frozen out and their companies forced out to other agents, though the prosecutors of the suit are among the first insurance men of the city. _____ BACK AT WASHINGTON. Th^ President and His Party Reach the Capital Safely. The president arrived in Washing ton at 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. He was accompanied by private secre tary Thurber and E. C. Benedict, who has been for the past four days his host on board the steam yacht Oneida. The president was met at the wharf by his carriage, which drove him rap idly through the city to the white house. The president has improved notably in appearance during the summer and is evidently in excellent health. In addition to the recreation he secured at his seaside home, he mansged to keep up with all current business which demanded his attention, and in •ionsequence he returns to ffnd no ac cumulation of work on his desk except a great number of vacancies created during bis absence, and for which, in most instances, he has pr»cticnlly de termined on the appoiitiaents he will make. _ FORAKER CIIALENGES BRICE. Is Ready to Open Deltas at Any lime or l’laco A dispatch from Eaton, O., says: Ex-Governor Foraker has openly challenged Senator Price or any of his followers to a joint de bate to be neld at any place and at any time. Tho reasor for this is on account of an editoria in a morning paper entitled “Where Is Brice?” Foreaker answered bat he knew he did not have a head o hair like Brice, but he did have his “jolitical convic tions,” and that if tlere was a repre «entative of the pape in the audience he wanted him to state to that paper that he was ready ai any time for a joint debate, where ie would answer ali of Brice’s queifons, and then he would have some tossk Brice.

The convention once again eat upon the senator, killing tbe amendment by a vote of 65 to 47. The legislative article after much talk has been com pleiea, savo two sections, that relat ing to homesteads and that relating the to intermarriages. Before the recess convention passed an amendment pro viding that no marriage should be al lowed between a white person and a person possessing any negro blood. Judge Frazer offered a further amendment to preserve the status of all such marriages, now existing as to property, etc. “Uncle George Tillman” made a powerful speech on the ject, advocating and showing the ne cessitv of saying “one-eighth” of ne gro blood, instead of negro blood. The whole matter was recommitted to I he committee. The sections providing for the adopt ion of general laws for the chartering of cities, towns, villages, mauufactur mg enterprises, etc., and prohibit ing special legislation thereon were adopted. --- WARD SKIPS OUT.
