Omaha, Neb.. Nov. 17.—Senator Wil-
liam V. Allen, Nebraska's senior repre
sentative in the United States senate
and the recognized leader of the popu
lists in both houses of congress, re
cently said: "It goes without saying
that the populist party will have a
presidential ticket in the field, and
that it will be the only one of the old
parties that will be outspokenly in
favor of the free coinage of silver at It
to 1. As to t he reorganization of the
senate, I don't think the populist sena-
tors will cut the liirurc that has been
predicted for them. I believe
the republicans and democrats
will agree upon a plan of organ I zation
that will not depend upon populist as-
sistance. I do not believe the popu-
lists will care to enter into negotia-
tions for a division of the senate
spoils. The populist national commit-
tee will probably meet in January tc
arrange for the populist national con-
vention, I am in correspondence with
Chairman Taubeneck to have the meet-
ing take place in Washington, so that
the populist delegation in congress
may be consulted on the questions t<
be decided. 1 am in favor of holding
the convention after those of the re-
publicans and democrats. The con-
vention will doubtless go to some
western city."

PLOTTING TO KSCAPK.
The Taylor Urothera Detected Making Ar-
rangement* to Hr«*ak .lall.
Carhoi.i.ton, Mo., Nov. 10.—The
sheriff of Carroll county was greatly
surprised to-day to learn that the
Taylor brothers, confined in jail at this
place under sentence of death for the
murder of the Meeks family, had made
all arrangements to cut their way out
of prison and make a bold
dash for liberty. The sheriff's
attention was attracted to some
letters sent out to friends by
tlie prisoners, lie found that while
one side of the paper was written with
ordinary writing fluid, the opposite
side was written with an invisible ink,
which, on being heated, became
plainly readable. The information
revealed was startling. The two
Taylors were confronted by
the sheriff with the evidence. Their
nerve broke down and they confessed
that the information was true, and
that they were making preparations tc
break jail. They handed out a saw,
file, brace, drill and an old case knife
that had been furnished them by sym-
pathizers.
SUNDAY SUA VINtJ ALLOWKIK
A Chicago Superior ,luilife Decided the Bar-
ber Law Uncoiifitltntlonal.
Chicago, Nov. 17.—Judge Gibbons,
of the superior court, decided that the
law passed at the last session of the
Illinois legislature, compelling bar-
bers in this state to close their shops
on Sunday, was unconstitutional. The
managers of two large hotels kept
their shops open as a test and they,
with all their employes, were arrested
on the charge of violation of the law.
Judge Gibbon's decision is lengthy. In it
he traces the history of the 'onsorial art
back to Kzekiel. He declares the pres-
ent law unconstitutional because it is
class legislation and directed against
the property of barbers, which is mus-
cle and professional skill. The case
being simply decided on the question
of the arrest of the men by the police,
must be brought up in different form
if the advocates of the law desire to
appeal to the supreme court.

could do to get out alive. Miss Yettke.
after getting out, went back for her
clothing and was not seen again.
Davis and Wagner were unable to tret
out in time and burned to death. The
monetary l >ss is $45,000. The fire
started from one of the employes
stepping on a match.

Nenv York, Nov. 17.—A special from
Bogota, Colombia, says that heavy
firing in the barracks drew an immense
crowd, which was ordered to disperse.
The crowd was so great that it was
impossible to move quickly, and the
impatient officers ordered the troops to
charge bayonets, which they did; but,
meeting with resistance, and five shots
being fired from the crowd, the troops
began firing upon the peopl
regular battle ensued, and the crowd,
being unarmed, was obliged to fly,
leaving twenty-three killed ami wound-
ed on the field. The cause of the
liring in the barracks was that part of
the guard had attempted to desert,and
resisted arrest Fourteen were shot "

Marlborough Affair.
New York, Nov. 17.—Ex-Secretarj
W. C. Whitney was seen at the horse
show and asked about being a pre.si
dential possibility last uight. He wat
thoughtful for a moment and then
said: "I wish it understood that I am
not a candidate for the nomination at
present ami will not be. My
friends know my desires on this
subject and will act accord-
ingly. No man, I believe, car
truthfully say he would not like to be
president. It is an honor to represent
a nation which cannot be too highly
esteemed. 1 will not say that 1 would
not be pleased if 1 were president, but
I will not allow myself to be made a
candidate under any consideration. 1
do not want office of any kind."
"Nothing would induce you tc
change your opinion?''
"Absolutely nothing. My mind is
made up on this point, and 1 do not
know of anything that can change it.
"Your friends have used your name
as a possible candidate."
"Yes. it has been mentioned with
others; but I hope that my name will
be dropped and not be mentioned in
any way in connection with the presi
dency. 1 prefer to remain in private
life, and those who know me are aware
of the reasons."
In an interview last night, ex-Gov.
Campbell, of Ohio, declared positively
his belief that President Cleveland had
no desire whatever for a third term
and did not deem it even necessary to
deny that he was a candidate or would
be under any circumstances.

Ni w York, Nov. 17. — II. G. Dun «&
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade, says:
The scare about gold exports had no
real significance, and, although250,-
000 more will go out to-day, the stock
market has been recovering. There
was ami is u substantial cause of diffi-
culty in the fact that exports of pro-
duets have been too small to meet the
greatly increased imports of merchan-
dise. The collapse of Katlir specula-
tions abroad has forced many to rea-
lize on Americans held, and the im-
pression that our government may
have to borrow again also operates to
our disadvantage. But there is no local
disturbance of money markets.
Wheat perplexes the oldest inhabi-
tant. There is really little reason to
expect a yield larger than last year's,
but western receipts of 8,302,804 bush-
els, against 4,020,039 last year, do not
mean a scarcity of wheat. Probably it
is true that the attempt to induce
farmers to keep back their wheat in
Julyohas ended, as usual, in much
bigger sales at lower prices in
November, and prices have now
declined so far that, for the first
time in many months, Atlantic exports
exceed those of a year ago, having
been for two weeks (flour included)
3,200,384 bushels, against 8,103,111 last
year. The decline, nearly 1 cent, is
not much, but does not mean confi-
dence in renewed advance.
Corn is scarcely lower, but without
theaidof the government report all
know that the supply will largely ex-

Constantinople, Nov. 17.—About
800 persons were massacred by the
Mussulmans ut Kharput and eight out
of twelve buildings belonging to the
Americau missions were sacked ami
burned. The missionaries, however,
escaped. This was in spite of the as-
surances of the porte to United States
Minister Alexander W. Terrell that
the lives and property of the Ameri-
cans would be protected. The inhab-
itants around Kharput are in a state
of great distress from hunger, and if
cold weather should set in suddenly
there would be much more suffering
and considerable loss of life.
From Guran, in the villayet of Sivas,
where the Kurds have been besieging
4,000 Armenians, it is reported that all
the Armenians have been massacred.
In the district of Mardiui, where there
is a large Christian population o!
Chaldeans and Syrians, a number of
villages have been burned to the
ground and the people are destitute
and suffering from sickness due to ex-
posure and hunger.
These outrages confirm beyond doubt
the impression which has prevailed
here for a long time that the move-
ment has now assumed proportions be-
yond the control of the Turkish au-
thorities, even if the latter were really
desirous of punishing the Mussulmans
for massacreing Armenians.
No definite action is known to have
been taken by the ambassadors of the
powers, but it is reported that they
will join in a note, informing the sul-
tan that in spite of the remonstrances
and recommendations of the powers,
matters have now reached a stage in
Asia Minor where it is evident that the
sultan's authority is not sjflicient
to quell the repeated disturb-
ances and it has become neces-
sary for the powers, in the
interests of Christianity and humanity,
to put an end to these disorders by oc-
cupy ing joint ly various portions of the
Turkish empire until order shall be
fully restored and a better system of
government be inaugurated.
A massacre of Christians is reported
from Aiexandretta, Northern Syria, in
the presence of 300 Turkish soldiers,
who did not render any assistance. It
dded that the European residents
of Aiexandretta are in danger.
The sultan is engaged in examining
every resort of the Armenians in the
apital for the purpose of arresting
and shipping all of the unemployed
Armenians into Asia Minor. The
measure is regarded as a cruel oue,
even admitting that they reach their
destination, the people being mostly
inoffensive. t
A private letter from Krzlnghian de-
clares that Armenian priests have al-
ready buried over 400 bodies of persons
supposed to have been killed in the
second massacre. Thousands are wan-
dering, homeless and starving.
