CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 15, via ■Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 10. —The news from the different provinces of Asia Minor continues to L»e grave, confirm ing beyond doubt the impression which has prevailed here for a long time past, that the movement has as sumed proportions which have placed it beyond the control of the Turkish authorities e*eu if the latter were real ly desirous of poshing the Mussul mans for massaereing Armenians. In fact it is considered very doubtful whether the Turkish troops would tire on Mussulmans if they should be ordered to do so. It is known that there are about 800 victims of the Kharput massacres; that eight of the twelve buildings belong ing to the American missionaries there were sacked and burned, in spite of the assurances of the Porte to the United States Ambassador, Mr. Alex. \V. Terrell, that the lives and property of the Americans would be protected and although it was announced that the Turkish gendarmes had been de tailed to guard the missions. The American missionaries, however, es caped, ami are now in safety. Mr. Terrell has notified the Porte that the United States will hold them respon sible for the lives of the missionaries. In the district of Mardin, where there is a large Christian population of Chaldeans and Syrians, a number of villages have been burned to the ground; the people are destitute and suffering from sickness due to expos ure and hunger. This outbreak is regarded here as being very significant and as indicat ing a systematic campaign, directed from Yildez Kiosk, against all Chris tian and not against the Armenian Christians in particular as was general ly believed to be the case. This puts quite a different complexion on the whole matter. No definite action is known to have tieen taken by the ambassadors of the powers, hut it is reported they will join in a note to the Porte, informing the government of the Sultan that in spite of the remonstrances and recom mendations of the powers, matters have now reached a stage in Asia Minor where it is evident that the Sul tan’s authority is not sufficient to quell repeated disturbances which are breaking out, and it has become neces sary for the powers, in the interests of Christianity and humanity, to put an end to these disorders by occupying jointly various portions of the Turkish Empire until order is restored and a better system of government is inaug urated. In order to carry out the policy of tbe powers, the most powerful fleet, ever gathered together is being as sembled at Salonica Bay. It will con sist of about thirty British warships, including a dozen battleships of the first-class; a dozen or so French ships, including half a dozen batleships: twelve Russian warships, of which four will be battleships; eight Italian warships, of number four first-class battleships. The British fleet includes the flower of the British navy and is constantly being reinforced. Massacre ot Christian* in Sirin.

RALEIGH, N. C. SU A CRISIS IN THE EAST HETOKTS FROM ARMENIA HO NOT TEND TO DISPEL I HE W \K CLOUDS. DUNRAVEN AND HIS PAMPHLET Ihe Englbh Newspapers (-'eierallv Condemn Him in I niniMHknblc Terms and Pedate that the New York Yacht ClnhWill l>e»:l Fairly With the Matter - Am* ricaus Dill Not Go to 1 gypt th s \\ inter on Account ot ilie Ci.oleia. (Copyrighted 181)5, by the Associated Press ) LONDON, Nov. 16.—The news from the East and far East, during the w eek, has not been of a nature calculated to dissipate the clouds which have been hanging heavily over the political hori zon for a long time past. From Asia Minor came authenticated reports of further massacres of Armenians dur ing w hich the Turks seem to have ap plied the torch to petroleum soaked vieirns ami to have skinned others alive in addition to outraging women and plundering property on all sides. From the far East, yesterday, came a report that it is positively stated, at Shanghai, that China has agreed that Germany shall occupy one of the is lands near Amoy for he purpose of converting it into a naval department. Fears are expressed that if this rumor turns out to be correct international complicaions of a serious nature will follow, as Russia and France, not to mention Great Britain, are certain to demand a similar concession. Strange as it may seem the offen sive vaporings of the Dunraven pam phlet still fill the air here and his lordship may be likened to an old man of the sea clinging tenaciously to the back of international sport, determin ed, apparently, to tire it out of exist ence. But,Dunraven will not find much consolation in the comments upon his conduct made by the weekly newspa pers which, speaking generally, con demn him in unmistakable terms. The Saturday Review for example, says it finds it dffieult to sympathize with the feelings which induced Lord Dunraven to publish Ids “extraordin ary statement,” and adds “Neither the matter nor the manner inclines us in his favor. He surely ought never to have mixed up the serious charges of fraud with the complacent expression of his belief that in various points Valkyrie is superior to Defender. IJis assertions in regard to interference seem to show that he is incapable of impartiality. He asks to believe that the captains of 500 competing steam ers entered in a conspiracy to give their wash to Valkyrie.” The Saturday Review, concludes with remarking that it feels certain the New York Yacht Club will deal with the matter fairly. The Speaker says: “'The ill-judged pamphlet has done much to alienate our sympathy and make us acknow ledge that the supporters of the New York Yacht Club have ample grounds for the indignation they express.” Many Americans and others here w ho intend to winter in Egypt have de cided to change their plans, owing to the reports of the prevalence of chol era in certain parts of that country. Cairo and Alexandria have thus far not been affected, but cholera is said to have appeared in serious form else where in Egypt. CHICAGOANS IN '1 ENNESfeEE. Royally Entertained Yesterday By the People ot Chattanooga. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 16- A perfect November day with brightest sunshine and bluest sky, greeted the Chicago hosts on their arrival here this morning.

CIRCULAR BALES OF COTTON. Story ot the Inventon of the New ;tteth «! fur Compressing Colton. Special to the News : nil Observer. WASHINGTON, I). C., Nov. 16. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, has al ways been a poor, plodding country lawyer, satisfied with a limited prac tice and small fees. He came mod estly into the Senate without any toot ing of trumpets or newspaper accounts of his achievements, lie appeared seldom in debate, but made himself in the committee room, and was soon recognized as a man of ability, so that when a wise, prudent, and conserva tive manager was needed for the tariff bill in 1894 he was selected as chairman of the sub-committee. He has lived unostentatiously since he came to Washington, llis family lias not ap peared in society, and have been re garded as plain and unpretentious peo ple. But it is now reported that Mr. Jones is going to be a millionaire, all as a re ward for liis patience and faith in an eccentric inventor by (be name of Graves, down in Arkansas, whom he has befriended and supported from bis own siim income for many years. Graves is a man of inventive genius, but a ne’er-do-well, and entirely with out money-making facilities. He has produced several useful mechanisms, but they have never paid him anything and he lived in penury, and often in privation until Senator Jones acci dentally saw a method he had con trived for compressing cotton into cir cular instead of angular bales. It oc curred to him that this was a very im portant matter, and he encouraged Graves to develop the idea, in the mean time furnishing him money to feed himself and his family, and to buy ma terial to carry on his experiments. As a consideration for this assistance the inventor assigned to his benefactor a half interest in the patents. Mr. Jones one day happened to men tion the circumstances to his colleague Senator Camden. The latter * after ward related the story to William Johnston, the proprietor of the line of big cargo steamers that carry cotton and cattle between Baltimore and Liv erpool. Mr. Johnston was so much interested -in the subject that he im mediately started for Little Itock, where he obtained from Senator Jones and Graves an option upon all the pat ent rights, and at once organized a company to manufacture and operate the machines, Jones and Graves being •teen 49 per cent, of the shares of the company. 9 The economy of the machine was soon demonstrated. It packs the cot ton so that 50 per cent, of freight charges can be saved. The bale has the shape of a cylinder instead of a cube, and the same amont of cotton that fills a space forty cubic feet in an angular bale, occupies only twenty two cubic feet w hen shaped like a cyl inder. 'The first shipment of cylinder bales was "made early in the present season, and about one thousand have been sent thus far. Although as heavy as the old-fashioned bale, they are much more easily and quickly handler! for they can be rolled in and out of warehouses and railway cars. The company has engaged as its superin tendent a Mr. Anderson, who was con nected with the electrical department at the World’s Fair, and they are be ginning to place the machines upon the market. Mr. Johnston believes there is more money in it than in any other invention since the telephone. Senator Morion Butler was in Wash ington to-day. He recently visited New York, w here he purchased a new' printing press for his paper, the Cau casian. Mrs. J. Y. Joyner, wife of Prof. J. Y. Joyner, of Greensboro Normal School, and two children, are visiting at Dr. G. W. Sanderlin’s. Dr. Sterling Ruffin leaves to-night for North Carolina. THE V RGINIA CONFERENCE. Lynchburg lias Been Chosen a* the Next Place of Meeting. RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 16.—The Methodist conference to-day heard the report of the committee appointed to investigate charges against Rev. Dr. Carter, of Norfolk. The committee, which is in the na ture of a grand jury, reported that in its opinion Dr. Carter should be tried by the conference. The charge against him is that he was a divorced man when his marriage was contracted. Lynchburg was chosen as the next place of meeting. The report of the Board of Education claimed the atten tion of the conference and was dis cussed by Bishop Galloway, Cranberry and others.

ILL-FATED MOTOR UR IT DROPFI D THROUGH A DRAW BRIDGE INTO THE R VER BELOW. CONTAINED SOAIE3Q PASSENGERS Blame lor the Disaster Seems to be Placi d ou ihe Concluctor--The Bridge Wo* Being Opened as the f ar Ran up to it Jut the L’i ml actor Was Blinded by the Electric Light-* Woi k of Rescue Began immediately aliei the Accident. CLEVELAND, ()., Nov. 16. —A heavy electric motor car containing between 20 and 30 passengers went through the draw of the Central viaduct, at 7 o’clock this evening and dropped 100 feet to the river below. It is a horror, the like of which has never occurred before. The Central viaduct is a huge stilt bridge 3,000 feet long, made of iron. It connects the heights and the prosper ous residence section ou the South side with the business center of the city. Directly over the river is a draw bridge of the pivot swinging pattern, and this is 101 feet above the surface of the wa ter. The South side street railroad passes over the bridge and on either side of the draw there is a safety switch, which, unless the conductor alights and holds up a handle, will send a car into the gutter instead of allowing it to go on the draw. First reports from the scene of the disaster seem to place the blame on the conductor. They were to the ef fect that the ill-fated motor ear, con taining between twenty and thirty people, approached the draw just as a vessel was nearing it, and the bridge attendants had closed the big iron gates and were preparing to swing the draw. As is the rule, the ear stopped and the conductor went forward to re lease the switch in case the way was clear. He must have been blinded by the electric lights, for an eye-witness declares that although the gates were closed and the draw was already in motion, the conductor raised the switch handle. The motorman applied the current and the car shot forward and struck the gates with a crash. There was only a moment’s pause and then the he. v car ground its way through the wreckage and plunged over the brink into the black abyss, amid the screams and frantic cries of the passengers, who, at the first inti mation of danger, rushed for the rear door. The car struck the water with a great splash, and then there was silence. Soon men began to rush about, shouting, and police patrol wagons and ambulances were soon flying to the spot in response to the telephone calls. In an incredibly short space of time the work of rescue had begun. So ME U.MVERS-il’Y NOTES. Ltdim bv tir, S.H ick'Mvsky, “Push, Pluck hiiil Perse vcranc©’*. Special to the News and Observer.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Senator McMillan to-day expressed the opinion that there would be no determined or concerted effort on he part of Senators and members of the House from the lake States to secure the abrogation of the treaty of 1817 prohibiting the building of w ar vessels by this country and England on the great lakes. The movement grows out of the recent re fusal of the Secretary of the Navy to let contracts for the construction at Detroit of two vessels authorized I*3' the last Congress. Senator McMillan takes the position that the treaty is of greater protection to the United States than to Great Britain and that it would be folly for this country to cancel the treaties until the United States can secure canal outlet to tide water.

Raleigh people are familiar with pro tracted meetings and revivals held in all the Protestant churches except, the Episcopal, nnu early in December Dr. Pittinger is going to acquaint them with an Episcopal revival, though the Episcopalians call it by th« name of “a mission.” WHAT IS A MISSION? This question is thus answered in a short circular handed us by Dr. Pittin ger: A mission is a special effort to win men to Christ. It is an earnest endeavor to reach all who have not been reached by the reg ular ministrations of the church, and to help all who are attending upon them to benefit by them more. Its first object is to rescue. It seeks also to instruct and confirm in faith and Godliness. IT IS AN EXTRAORDINARY CALL To the careless to repent. To the doubting to believe. To the believing to serve God more earnestly. The mission is held for Christ’s sake, and all Christians are asked to pray for the mission, and are invited to come to the mission. THE CONDUCTOR OF THE MISSION. The mission U> be held in the Good Shepherd church will be conducted by Dean Bradley, Vicar of St. Agnes Chapel, New York City, who is an able and consecrated preacher who has had great success in awakening the care less and the doubting, and in bringing them into a knowledge of the Truth. The following letter from him, read to the congregation by Dr. Pittinger, tells his object in coming to Raleigh, and is also an appeal to all who are so minded to attend the services and help in what is hoped will be a great work for good. St. Agnes, No. 121 West 91st St. New York, Sept. 13, 1895. Dear Friends: Providentially I am coming to preach a mission to you. A mission means bringing souls into the Church of Christ and helping those already in the church to be better Christians. So the mission appeals to every per son in Raleigh. It is called a mission and not a revival, because mission is the old name and means something sent from God. We believe that the dear old Gospel story of the Saviour’s love for us all is the message sent from heaven, and that the preacher is the ambassador sent from God to tel! that story to men. It is not my purpose or desire to create an excitement that would soon pass away, but T want people to think and think until they resolve to live as God’s children ought to live. How much or how they feel is a matter of little consequence. I ask every Chris tian in Raleigh to pray that God will help us and make the mission a gTeat blessing. Arrange your affairs so that you can attend as many services ms possible. Get somebody else to come, especially one who is careless. Make that one soul your special care; pray earnestly and often for that one specially. We all have dear ones still out of Christ, and God help us, what have we done to bring them in? Pray for me that I may preach as I ought to preach, to God’s glory and the help of my fellowmeu, Cordiality vdurw, E. A: BRADLEY, Vicar of St. Agnes Chapel, New York THE SERVICES BEGIN DEC. 21).
