ConSBaiitinople, Nov. 15.—The eultan
apparently has not tired of snubbing
Great Britain. Quite recently he dec
ora/ted Bahrl Pasha, who had been re
moved from the governorship at the
instance of the British ambassador. Sir
Phillip Currie, for ill treating Arme
nians, and it was said that he was to
be appointed to the command of the
Turkish troops operating against Zel-
toun, where the Armenians have seized
the barracks and strategic positions,
after Capturing a battalion of Turkish
troops.
It is now announced that the prison
officials of Moosh, who were dismissed
some time ago upon the demand of the
British ambassador, owing to their
maltreatment of prisoners, have been
reinstated. The British charge d’affUJrs,
the Hon. Michael Herbert, has de
manded of the porte that the three
. prison officials be again dismissed.
The report of a serious outbreak at
Slvas Is confirmed. The rioting was
attended by great bloodshed, but order
has been partially restored and the
Turkish officials are protecting the for
eigners there.
No change In the situation Is antici
pated for some days to come. The re-
. ports of a' conflict between the Alba
nian regiment and Tripoli regiment at
Ylldiz Kiosk have not been confirmed,
although It is well known there has
been bad blood between the guards at
the palace ever slnoe the Tripoli regl

of the American Geographical Society
last night )n the American Museum of
Natural History, given to Lieut. Peary,
the Arctic explorer. Lieut. Peary read
a paper on Arctic explorations.
"I strained every energy for years
and spent every cent in my desire to
reach tho North Pole," said Lieut.
Peary. “The desire to secure a lasting
reputation was not paramount with
The prime obejeet however, was
not the discovery of the North Foleo,
hut to explore the northern portion of
Grenland and ithe adjacent lands. I
am disappointed in not having accom
plished all of my objeot.
■Arctic exploration thus far with
two exceptions, has been carried on
haphazard. The two exccptio3 are
the systematic and sustained expedi
tions of the British government, re
sulting in the discovery of the North
west passage, and the exploration by
Henry Grlnnet under the liberal pat,
ronage of Baron Dixon, when the
Northwest passage was accomplished.

to reach the pole by a balloon I would

kounhissar was totally destroyed by tho
rioters. Several Mussulman villages
have been sacked In. the Azlrlon and
Tdlfokmeizemenk districts. The sultan

well as to the military commanders,
telling them that they must promptly
restore order by tile Just and equita
ble treatment of both Christian and
Mohammedan.

counts previously published concerning
the massacre there. It says: I
“We have not dared to go to the quar
ters of the city where tho Turks are
too numerous. I have yet to hear of a
single dead Turk in this struggle. This,
I Ihlnk. disproves the charges of the
aggressions brought up against tho Ar-
nfeninns. I
“The bare, bold fact Is thjt 11 was
purely a massacre of tho Innocent inhab
itants by outraged Turks, and but for
the presence of foreign consuls things
would have been far worse. With tho
coming winter, the miser)' In store for
tho remaining Armenian® will bo terri

“All the looting, it was claimed, was
done by regular soidiera at the com'
mond of the oieers. Many women hung

sought for months under a charge of
burglary of tbe residence of Norman

been mistaken. The officials decline

thoroughly investigate the case.
A PORCH CLIMBER.
Tho agency has for several months
past had charge of what arc known
as the “Porch Climbing” cases—the res
idences of several wealthy citizens of
the Southslde’having been burglarized
by a gang) which, it Is alleged, was
headed by Clarence White, a brother
of tho murdered man, well known to
the police. Ho was arrested several
months ago by another agency, but
managed to secure his release on a
writ of habeas corpus. Tho city police
arrested him, secured his indictment,
and ho was discharged for lack of evi
dence. A private detective agency
captured his partner. Smith, and con
victed him, sending him to JOhet for
eighteen months.
Other members of the gang were ar
rested and sent to the pentltentlary.
Since that time tho agency, In whose
employ Dix Is, has had charge of the
case, and has been constantly looking
for him.
-The agency has had a man watching
the residence of Mrs. White, mother of
Frank and Clarenoe. and yesterday
