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.

TILLMAN BALKED.
Convention Delegates Refuse to Do
His Bidding.
Ju the South Carolinaconstitutional
convention, Wednesday, Senator Till
man introduced as an amendment to
the legislative article, a section pro
viding that the general assembly in
the year 1916 and every 20th year
thereafter should refer to the people
the question of holding a constitution
al convention and permitting such
convention to be held upon a majority
vote.
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. ---
