HIS DEMAND FOH EXI Kv
GUARD HIIIP*.
AND THE SULTAN IS TRIUMPHANT
Tht# Eoiling of a Critical Situation
has Plased the Powers in a Ridicu
lous Light—. Many Consider itOnl* a
Lnll in the Storm—Reported that the
British Ship has Passed the Darda
nelles and been Fired Upon irom the
Turkish Forts.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Not. 29, via So
ft*, Not. 30.— After all the warlike talk
of yesterday the British ambassador,
Sir Philip Currie, has hacked down,
and the Sultan and his palace advisers
are triumphant.
The British gunboat Dryad, ordered
from Salonica Bay by Admiral Sir
Michael Culme-Seymour, the comman
der of the British Mediterranean
squadron, with the request of Sir
Philip Currie, after the latter was as
sured on Tuesday last by Twefik Pa
sha, the Turkish minister for foreign
affairs, that the Porte had decided to
grant the firmans allowing the extra
guardship required by the representa
tives of the powers here to pass the
Dardanelles, has been ordered hack to
Salonica.
This is, to the ‘diplomatic corps,
quite an unexpected denouement of a
situation which had assumed a most
dangerous aspect, and the general
opinion is that the powers have been
placed in a somewhat ridiculous posi
tion. Following the repeated threats
of forcing the passage of vhe Darda
nelles if the Sultan persisted in refus
ing to allow the extra gunboats to en
ter the Bosphorus, this looks very
much as if Abdul Hamid and his ad
visers, who are well informed when
they persisted on holding out against
the demands of the representatives of
Great Britain, Kussia, Italy and Aus
tria for additional guardships, believ
ing that they were justified in so doing
ou the ground that the powers are not
in accord, as so frequently claimed
and officially stated, and that the dis
senting powers were behind Abdul
Hamid in the stand he has taken.
Said Pasha yesterday succeeded in
getting the British Ambassador to re
fer the Dryad matter to his govern
ment. There was some delay, as
stated iu those dispatches yesterday,
in obtaining a reply to the message to
Lord Salisbury and this caused a re
port to be spread among the Turkish
officials that Great Britain would not
do anything calculated in any way to
hinder the efforts of the Sultan to re
store order and put in force the re
forms advocated by the powers, and,
therefore, in view of Abdul Hamid’s
strong objections, the demand for the
extra guardships would not be carried
to the extreme of forcing the passing
of the Dardanelles.
This seems to lie the outward aspect
of the recall of the Dryad;but behind
all this is the fact that it has been estab
tbe recall of the Dryad; but behind all
tliis is the fact that it has been estab
lished that the palace people have been
for some time past exciting the Mus
sulman population here with hints
that the demand of the powers for an
extra guardships meant nothing more
than a naval demonstration before
Constantinople, and that this would be
an insult to the Sultan and to the Mus
sulmans throughout the world. This
steady working gradually inflamed
the Turks and a serious outbreak was
brewing here and it is alleged at the
instance of the palace manipulators.
The embassies were kept well in foi ru
ed of what v as going on and it is prob
ably due to the knowledge that the ad
vent of the extra guardships in the
Bosphorus would be the signal for an
outbreak ken- directed against all for
eigners ini Christians which caused
the government of Great Britain to in
struct Sir Philip Currie to order the
Dryad o*u i. to Salonica.
But it is claimed in diplomatic cir
cles this does not end the incident and
it is only a temporary withdrawal
which will be followed at a more op
portune moment by the insistence of
the powers upon the observance of
their treaty rights which they contend
allow them to have the extra guard
ships for their embassies. Even if this
be true, it seems to show that the Sul
tan and his adivisors have once more
trumphed over the representatives of
the powers since the latter were offi
cially announced to be in complete ac
cord'as to the drastic measures to be
taken toward Turkey.
There is another feature of the affair
which is not lost sight of here and that,
is that the withdrawal of the Dryad
may mean that the European concert
is broken and that the jealousies of the
powers have been too strong to allow
of the joint action in the East even in
the face of tales of horrors and blood
shed, fire and famine, which have
come daily from Asiatic Turkey for
months past.
A’s an explanation of the backdown
of the powers, it is pointed out that
after Sir Philip Currie yesterday, re
oeived the reply to his message to th*
Marquis of Salisbury he made a per
sonal call upon the Sultan at the Yil-
Hir. Kiosk. and for two hours and a half,
AImIuI Hamid and the British ambas
sador remained iu close aud aaraast
conversation.
The situation was viewed be two* »
them. The Sultan again called Sir
Philip's atfc ;:tion to the efforts li# was
making to restore order in Asiatic
Turkey, offered proof that the work of
reform w.is as fully inaugurated as
oirci Ans lances would permit-, j/.0...
iseil that < ;ry thing possible would be
done to put down lhe rising in Syria,
etc., without unnecessary bloodshed,
and last, but not least, Abdul Hamid
referred to the danger of an outbreak
at Constantinople and elsewhere if lie
was humiliated to the extent of having
his power scorned in the eyes of the
Mussulman world.
Sir Philip listened to all the repre
sentations of the Sultan, backed by
the statements of Said Pasha and other
ministers, and finally said he would
order the Dryad away temporarily,

l,e the signal for the enforcement of
the treaty rights of the powers regard
ing the extra guardships, even if Great
Britain had to act alone in the matter.
There the matter seems to rest for
the present, but nobody here believes
that it is anything more than a lull in
the storm caused by the bickerings
and dickerings of the powers as much
as by the dread of doing anything
which might precipitate an outbreak
here or tend to light the torch of a re
ligious war which might spread with
fearful rapidity even beyond the Turk

WASHINGTON, Nov. JO.—Sixty-two
of the 105 members of the Democratic
minority of the House met in caucus
this afternoon to form the Democratic
House organization and re-nominate
their officers in the last Congress.
Mr. Culberson, of Texas, who has
held his seat since the 44th Congress
was elected chairman of the Democrat
ic caucus for the Fifty-fourth Con
gress to succeed Mr. Holman, of In
diana. Messrs. Robertson, of Louisana
and Rusk, of Maryland, were elected
caucus secretaries.
Ex-Speaker Crisp was named for a
third term by Mr. Richardson, of Ten
nessee and the nomination was carried
unanimously with considerable enthu
siasm.
The other officers of the Fifty-third
Congress were selected as the Demo
cratic slate without opposition. Selec
tion of the three or four minor offices,
whom the minority is permitted to
name was postponed.
In nominating Mr. Crisp, Air. Rich
ardson totiched upon the future policy
of the party. He said that he had
been selected to formally name one
who had already been named in the
hearts of all. He spoke of the election
of Mr. Crisp to the speakership of the
Fifty-second Congress by the 240 Dem
ocrats after a sharp and brilliant con
test; of his election the second time by
the 215 Democrats of the 53rd Congress
and said they had met a third time to
honor him.
“A small band of struggling patriots
with full knowledge that our declara
tion will be potent. Why,” he con
tinued, "this is not the occasion or the
place to inquire. 1 believe it is not la
cause any great number of those who
have heretofore followed the Demo
cratic standard have deserted their flag
Our party has heretofore hurled in
forgotten graves every political organ
ization that ever contended against
it and we have an abiding faith that
it will do the same with its present
great rival. To do so all strife should
cease in our own family and we should
choose as leaders in all the States and
districts such fearless and patriotic
Democrats as the gentlemen we are
about to name. We should inscribe on
our banners the policy and principles
for the great and triumphant Democ
racy. lay aside all new fangled doc
trines and contiue the battle for ji re
duction of taxation on the jieople, give
them cheaper clothing and supplies,
make broader and better markets for
the products of our own farms and
manufacturers, to reduce the public
expenses, for greater simplicity in our
national affairs, for home rule and
local self-government, for an ample
circulating medium, for our own trade
and commerce, for sound money, the
gold and silver coinage of the consti
tution, and then the Democracy will
l*e again triumphant ami the country
will be redeemed and regenerated.”
Mr. Crisp responde d briefly, express
ing his thanks.
The best of feeling prevailed and
there was no teiulecy to bring the
financial question forward, although
the gold and free silver leaders were
both present.

The State is to be congratulated on
the election of Hermann Harrell Horne
as president of the State Sunday
School Association. He is probably the
youngest man ever elected president
of a State organization, but in energy,
talent and efficiency he will be found
the equal of any of his predecessors.
President Horne is now instructor
of Modern Languages in the Univer
sity, having graduated there, as Mas
ter of Arts, a year ago, after a full live
years’ course of study'. He is president
of the. Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion in the University and superin
tendent of the Baptist Sunday school
in Chapel Hill. He was the most popu
lar student in the University anil was,
as a student, a prominent leader in the
various phases of religious and chari
| table and philanthropic work conduc
ted by the University Y. M. C. A. His
name is linked with those of George
Worth and Lacy Little and Robert
Bryan, now all missionaries in Asia,
as synonymous with the highest type
of Christian studenthood.
President Horne is a remarkably
zealous and earnest Bible student, a
very efficient organizer of men, a large
hearted and broad-minded student of
systems and methods as well as of
fundamental principles, a clear, forci
ble writer and a strong captivating
speaker. He, represents the breadth,
the strength and the beauty of Uni
versity culture applied to a religious
nature.
Under President Horne’s administra
tion we may expect progress in Sun
day school work. He will come as
near as any man can to uniting into
one grand army all the Sunday school
forces of the State. Ilis election illus
trates the willingness, indeed the
eagerness, of our people to be led by
young men of talent, energy and char
acter. His entire career illustrates tin
great truth that there is always work
for willing hands, clear heads and anx
ious hearts to do. Six years ago Mr.
Horne, then a pupil in a preparatory
school, accidently met President Win
ston on the cars, and learned about
the University. That little-chance has
doubtless given shape ami potentia
lity to a great career. May it grow
greater and greater, joining -with
Bryan. Worth and Little in the effort
to’spread the Kingdom of the Master.
Upon his return from the Sunday
Sehool Convention, which met last
week in Goldsboro speaking to a
News and Observer reporter. President
Winston said:
“The Sunday School Convention is
one of the most interesting bodies that
meets in our State. It is composed of
delegates, who come without personal
motives or personal ambiti m of any
sort; delegates who have*gl;en freely
of time, labor and talents to teach
God’s word in their respective schools,
and who now come to get from each
other new ideas, new inspiration, new
hopes. It is Christ’s brigade.
“I was greatly pleased with the
work of the convention, although I
could not stay to the close. Mr. Ham
ill’s talk was full of practical suggest
ions and reTnarkably helpful. Having
been a teacher for fifteen years and a
student of methods, I yet found myself
greatly aided and stimulated by Ham
ill's ideas. Mr. Mermami Horne’s
speech on the “Home Sunday School”
was one of the best ! ever heard. It
was a rare pleasure to sec so young a
man speaking so powerfully and so
charmingly on such a subject, 1 have
known Mr. Horne for sex yeuss and
have watched his development with the
keenest interest.
“Mr. X. B. Broughton was the cen
tral figure of the convention; moving
every where, knowing everybody, see
ing everything and always knowing
when, how and w here to do the proper
•thing. He would make a fine execu
tive officer anywhere.
“Doctor Kilgo’s speech on “Man-
Buildiug” was a masterly address.rich
in thought, beautiful in diction and
impressive in delivery.
“The Doctor is a preacher of the old
school in delivery; of the new sehool
in thought". He would make 'a great
bishop.
“The Sunday-school Convention is
one of many steps we are faking in the
great “forward march.” It means co
operation, union, system, unity of pur
pose, of effort, of plan. The Southern
people lack organization. They are
marked by intense individualism; but
this is an age of organization, in relig
ion as well as in politics, war, manu
factures and commerce. Organization
means concentrated power. A thimble
full of small shot will not kill at fifty
yards, but when concentrated into a’
mirih4e-ball will kill a mile away.
“The kingdom of Christ needs to be
organized as completely as the legions
of hell. Organization means, too, di
vision of labor, whieh means greater
skill and greater efficiency with less
effort.
“For lack of organization the South- !
ern people waste material, waste es- |
fort, and waste enthusiasm. It is an
age of organization. We are learning
the lesson, and we will soon know it as
thoroughly as tha Englishman or th#
Yankee.”

Judge Arnold to-day refused to grant
a new trial to 11. H. Holmes, who was
convicted of the murder of B. F. I'iet
zel in this city September 2, 1894, and
sentenced him to death.
Promptly at 10 o’clock Holmes, ac
companied by his counsel, came into
court. He looked careworn and seemed
to have lost that air of confidence
which has clung to him throughout
his rying ordeal. Court opened with
ji brief tilt between Judge Arnold and
Lawyer Rotan, counsel for the defend
ant. Judge Arnold charged that Mr.
Rotan had offered an insult to the
court by presenting briefs to Judge
Thayer and Judge Wilson, who had sat
with Judge Arnold when Holmes’
counsel had argued for a new trial,
but neglected to send him a eopy.
Mr. Robin said that the briefs hail
been prepared hurriedly, and if the
Judge had been overlooked, it was a
mistake. He said: “I do not want the
impression to go forth that I have
done wrong. I do not want to lu* at
tacked that way. There was no disre
spect intended when I sent the briefs
to Judges Thayer and Wilson, and as
a member of this bar you should have .
tluit confidence in me.”
Judge Arnold made no further com
ment but proceeded to read the court’s :
answer to Holmes’ counsel’s reason for
non-trial. He took up the fifteen ux- '
ceptions to the verdict, one nf a time. I
and dwelt at length on each. The main
reasons for a new trial, whieh were ‘
put forth by the defendant's counsel, *
were the admission of the testimony of *
M iss Yoke, who Holmes claimed as life '
lawful wife; the District. Attorney's 1
opening speech to the jury, when he I
brought the murder of the children
into the ease and that part of Mrs. j
Pietzel's testimony in whieh she said *
the last time she saw her children t
“was in the morgue at Toronto.”
In referring to Miss Yoke’s eligibili- |
ty as a witness the judge said that it |
was for the court that Holmes was not |
not only married to the Williamet, ,
Illinois, woman, when he wedded Miss ‘
Yoke, but that he ;ilso had a wife in
Gilman, N. H. Therefore the marriage
to Miss Yoke was null and void and the
evidence was admissible. 11 e closed by i
saying that the court approves the ver
dict and refuses a new trial.
District Attorney Graham then arose
and asked that sentence be pro
nounced. Holmes was ordered tostand
up. Judge Arnold said: _ • 1
“Hetman W. Mudgetts, ha\e you
anything to say?”
Holmes replied in a barely audible
voice: "I tune nothing to say.”
.lodge Arnold then pronounced the
death sen It nee as follows: “It is the
sentence of this court that you be
taken hence from v- lienee you came ,
and thcje be hanged by the neck until
von are dead. May God have mercy on
your soul.”
The expression on Holmes’ fact re-1
inained the same. He was taken from i
the court to prison.
Governor Hastings will fix the day
of Holmes’ execution. An appeal to
the Supreme Court will lie taken at
once.
