Roy was a quiet man. and did not mix much with the neighbors, so his absence w.is not noticed for some time. When h's absence was search was instituted, but without avail. In April last Jones found a human head in his orchard. The flesh was off.

apparently by w'ld animals. but the head was fresh enough to prove that It had not been long In the place where found. The police were informal, and by means of dogs tiA trunk of the body was found 'Vine close to an old trail.

B. Nov. the assjs-s the trial of John Smith for the murder of Chris Benson at Corter island wa.i continued. murning was taken up with medical testimony, and also the evidence of police and others as to the discovery of the body. In the afternoon Mrs.

Nora H. Smith, wife of the accused, was put on the stand, iicr evidence was of the most sensational character. She stated that improper relations had existed between her and Benson for two that on the day of the murder Benson, who lived cn a neighooring island, had come to see her. and Improper relations hid taken place. Hi husband had surprised them, and with a shinttle mailet had knocked Benson down and then repeatedly struck him.

He then drags'd him on to a bed and shut him up there. Benson's groans could be heard for some time, but at night, when he was she had helped her husband to carry the body to the beach. He had then pu: the body Benson's boat and cast it adrift. When she i heard that the police were on the trail, had burned the shingle millet, and also her husband's clothing and Benson's hat. which were blood-sained.

Her husband had threatened to kill her if gave him away. In cress-examination witness' story was not shaken, and she maintained her selfcomposure throughout. Her husband, the accused, takes the matter very coolly, and during the hearing of his wife's evidence displayed not the leas; sign of nervousness. THE SNOHOMISH MURDER.

Snohomish, Nov. preliminary examination of William Wroth for the murder of Texas Jack Kinney on night of October 30 at the Golden Leaf Falcon, was concluded this afternoon before Police Judge Greene.

Frank Wlnesett that he saw the Knife gleam in the hands of Texas Jack as he pulled him out of the paloon, although afterward stated that it was very dark. Mary Jackson, a disreputable colored woman, who a dive next to the Oolden Leaf, testified that she picked the knife tip in front of the door, other witnesses testified that the deceased had no weapon whatever in his hands, and that the only thing found belonging to him was an old jack-knife found in h's coat pocket, the coat lying on the chair during the tight.

Growinsr fU'lief That Stolid Abdul Hamid ill Be Dethroned, Action to Be Taken by the Powers Very Number of Armenians Slaughtered Said to Be 15,000, and Ordor Not Yet Restored.

Constantinople. Nov. day shows the situation here more threatening. The porte today. to the identical notes of the ambassadors of Germany, Austria and Italy, said information regarding the scheme for the reform of Armenia would be forwarded to the representatives of the powers without delay.

In other words, these ambassadors obtained no satisfaction at all. It not yet known the notes of the ambassadors of Great Britain, Russia and France have been replied to. Surprise is expressed even by diploma in this city, who expected almost anything from the porte, at the action of the sultan sanctioning the official note issued yesterday expressing Abdul Hamid's thanks for the energetic measures taken by the imperial authorities in suppressing disturbances in Asia Minor, asserting that order has oeen restored In ail the districts recently the scena of riots and conflicts, and adding: "Precautions have taken to Insure the maintenance of order." This really looks like mocking the ambassadors. As to order being restored in the disturbed districts, it need only to be said that the mobilization of about 1 troops to sent to these districts progressing as actively as the Turk.sh government can pursue the undertaking. hampered by iai of funds and Incompetency of its officials.

Advices received announce fresh disturbances at Marash, Bitlis and Sivas, with attendant massacres. It is also announced that a battalion of Turkish troops in the garrison a' Seitgun, which recently distinguished itself by surrounding and shooting down Armenian insurgents, was later besieged in the barracks by Armenians. to whom the soldiers eventually capitulated. with arms and ammunition. The Armenians now occupy the quarters at Seitoun previously occupied by Turkish soldiery.

The Armenians also garrisoned all the important pos.tions in and about Seitoun, and are gathering ammunition and provisions, throwing up fortifications and In way preparing to hold the place. Considerable anxiety is felt in American circles here on account of absence of news from the districts American missionaries are stationed. Ambassador Terrell telegraphed to Commissioner at Harput, asking him if the American mission wis safe. According to advices today from Hadjin several villages in that vicinity have been attacked by rioters, who massacred the inhabitants and plundered property. It is ff the disturbances ill spread to Hadjin.

It was stated this afternoon in European circles here that, as a result of the additional exchange of views between the joint action involving a display of naval and possibly military has already been decided upon. Nothing definite, however, appears to be known regarding the course of action decided upon, but it is now believed that the sultan will not be. allowed to trifle with the ambassadors for many days longer, and n'ws of an important nature is expected at any moment. The financial situation here to be unsatisfactory. in spite of efforts of the Imperial bank to bolster up the finances of the Turkish empire In fa -t.

bourse here is almost entirely suspended, and it is believed that this condition of affairs will continue until the European powers demonstrate to the sultan, in the only manner that he Is capable of understanding, that the cruelty and Incompetency of the Turkish officials can no longer be permitted to endanger the peace of Europe A prominent member of the diplomatic corps was quoted today saying: "The end of all this busln'-sw is fast approaching," and this is the view taken of the situation by Europeans generally. It is understood that the powers have at last decided that furthsr "identical notes" or other such communications are useless In the of Abdul Hamld. and that onlv prompt and ffi'dent military a in Is likely to have any influence upon him. The reports so jwrslstently circulated for many weeks past as to the probability that the sultan will be deposed w-re repeated on all sl'les today, and it would seem that they may have ttpen revived bv some d-finite statement on the subject having been overheard at one of the embassies. No further tails have been received here of the rf 'nt massa re but from accounts the bloodshed have been terrible in the extreme.

A large part of the tnwn was burned. The government. it is announced, dendfd yesterday to mobilize another twenty battalions of redifs. which will make sixtv ba'tslio- mobilized.

It is understood alsa that a further feature of the treaty for the surrender of Port Arthur is that its evacuation by Japan will not be followed by a cession of the fortress to any ther power An unofficial statement to this effect has been made, and is credited here, but the Japanese legation has received no official advices.

Wells-Fargo Express Company has given ou; the following official statement of the robbery at the Santa Fe depot last Twenty thousand dollars was from Denver to the First National bank of Colorado Springs early In the afternoon. The money was received about 4 o'clock, too late to be delivered to the bank.

The package containing the money was placed in the depot safe and both doors locked. Evidently the thieves kn-iv of its existence. When the No. train came In, about 5M3, there were other packages aboard with currency to the amount of 13 consigned to the same bank. These pii'kiges delivered to the agent and placed In the safe.

MAY COST A FORTUNE TO REPAIR Possibility That the Warship May Be Irreparably Injured. of the Bottom of Iron Buckled-Due to Faulty Construction, and English Plans Blamed. Was njron tv. battleship Tex las ne 10 at the try dock at York, and has sustained injuries, exact extent of which is not known at present.

The ship went into dry dock a week to cleaned and painted and to remove accumulation cf seaweed whlcbl had grown in tfie pipe gratings leading to the circulating pumps. On the Sth last, a'apt. tilws reported to the commandant of the navy mi that on the regular weekly examination of Hie vessel made that day frames 4J and compartment wero found be distorted, apparently straining ot the nhip on the keel hloofcs. Nc ottier straining appeared, an examination failed to any evidence of damage. By d.recticn of Commandant Sicard, Onnatructor Bowles made an examination and i the sth he reported that tha Texas resting easily and supported thoroughly all tespeots.

Still, aa a measure of precaution, feet of waiter was let Into the dock, to lighten the load on the keel blocks On the 11th inst. further stra.rcng the ship was reported, anj the di was flooded to a depth of eleven feet, as far as the water could be without danger of disturbing the position of the Texas on the blocks. Stcard called for a detailed account of the injuries sustained by the ship, and in return received from the constructor rt -tating exactly and by iiutuber the Inj ared frames and where tNey were loeab rii rt port wat transmitted to the navy department, with the by the commandant that no delay in the work then progressing on the sjiip would ensue, and that the straining appi are.l due to the wight ef the ship on the keel blocks. The department was not altogether satisfied, and has now called for still further particulars, regarding report so far made as preliminary. It appears from these reports that twenty-one of the bottom frames and brackets of Texas are buckled from a quarter of an Inch to an inch and a half, while the cement lining of the double bottom is crvtei in many places.

Whether it will be necessary to undertake to repair these frames and renwva the in tiie twttoni cannot be told until a further examination Is made, and to do this it may bo necessary to remove all the weights of the shin In order to draw off the water safely, otherwise the strains nnght agiin become excessive and irreparable injury follow. In the absence of full details, which must in the end lie gathered by a special board, the department officials are not disposed to place the blame for the accident upon Constructor Bowles, as he has reputation of being one of the best doektnen in the navy. Instead, there is belief that the Texas was too lightly built to stand her own weight while in the dock, and if this should lie the case it would cost a Urge sum of money and much time to straighten the hull. The vessel was built plans purchased from England, and It is said the department officials were of the opinion from the first that they were defective. in that too much strength had been sacrificed in order to save weight and make the vessel float at the calculated displacement.
