The Tress Association announces that, it learns from Government circles that there Is no truth In. the report which originated In a dispatch from Vienna to the Daily Mail saying that the Powers have agreed upon a pacific settlement of the Eastern question honorable to all parties anil guaranteeing the security of the Armenians. There was a direct Intimation that the Turkish difficulty was virtually settled, but it appears such is not the case. The greait dynamite sensation Is dwindled almost to tjhe vanishing point in public Interest. The Government is naturally chagrined at the failure to secure the leading suspects and thus work ua a sensational conspiracy trial, consequently it is believed that Scotland Yard will abandon the proposed arrests of minor characters said to have 'been concerned in 'the plot.

Those under arrest here, It is thought, will be given short sentences. The newspapers continue to publish numbers of suggestions for celebrating in June next the completion of 60 years of the Queen's reign. The latest urge a special review or the colonial and other forces in Hyde Park. The scheme will be presentd to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Kt. Hon.

Joseph Chamberlain, as soon as he arrives, and it Is stated that the Prince of Wales is a keen supporter of the idea. It is thought a review of a force Including representatives of every colony and dependency of the Umpire would afford an impressive tribute to the imperial greatness characterizing Her Majesty's reign. The clergy of London also proposed to commemorate as a tri'bute of the even't, the completion of 60 years of Queen Victoria's reign and the 1300th anniversary of the founding of the See of London, and the fourth meeting of the Pan Angelican synod of bishops, by making London an archbishopric. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York are to be in favor of the project. The diversity of opinion among churchmen on 'the question of a stale church was evidenced at an inlluential meeting here on Thursday of the Churchmen's Lib eration League, formed with tiie object of bringing about disestabl.shment ami disendowmen't.

Uev. Dr. Simon, secretary, declared that both were a hindrance to religion and added that nothing could be more harmful to the church than the fact that 1,100 of the clergy are subsisting on an income of only 150 yearly, while 34 bishops receive all on an average of 5.000 per year. There Is considerable ill feeling among the clergy, it may be added. the fact that Proi.

aipoie, or York, has been appointed principal of the Dade Training College for School Masters Durham. The Hoard of Trade reports of rail road accidents during 1895 was Issued on Thursday. It shows that 1.024 persons were killed, of which number 83 were passengers, and that the persons Injured during the year was 4,021, of which number 1.100 were passengers. The total number of passengers car ried outside of ticket holders was 770.9n. The greatest interest is manifested in the experiment undertaken by the Government of New South Wales in Introducing oranges from ithat col ony Into England in order to relieve the oversupply of Australia and sup plying Kngland when the market here is 'bare of other oranges.

The filibustering days of Walker found an echo at Liverpool on Thursday during the hearing of the bankruptcy proceedings taken against Mr. Joseph Okell.

During the course of h.s examination Mr. Okell said he went to America In 1853 at 'the invitation of Commodore VanderbiH and that when Walker neized the Commo dor's (property In Nicaragua he (Okell). under the name of Spencer, got a band of men togrther, attacked Walker and recovered the property, for which, he added, the Commodore presented him with $200,000. Continuing, Mr. Okell said that he then went West under the name of Edward Kvers.

started a barrel stave manufactory and eventually 'became known as "The Stave King." Later, he said, he went 'to Chicago, engaged in the commission business, and was ruined by the great failure. In 1880 he returned rto London, but it appears returned to the United States in 1885 and speculated in lands in Mississippi, where he obtained a grant of 7.0O0.000 acres of land on the surrender of state bonds issued before the war for di lta work. vsrs. Watson and Baldwin, of Chicago, okell also asserted in court, were his partners in this deal and have since been suing him in connection with it. The theaters "have been doing excellent business during the past week.

If it were not soon reached by compromise, a conference would be ap pointed to investigate the matter. The civil service examination will be held at the usual cities, commencing Tuesday, November 10th. At 1 o'clock this morning ail the es' tlmates had been passed. The pro' feedings were enlivened by a windy war between Messrs.

Qumn and Wallace over the administration of the Customs department. From Our Own Correspondent. Prorogation takes plane on Monday. The Minister of Militia lhas decided that the matriculation examinations of any chartered university in Canada may be accepted as an equivalent for the entrance examination to the Royal Military College. Conservatives greatly deplore an unseemly scrap which took place In the House early this morning between Clarke Wallace and Messrs.

Quinn and Bergeron, all Conservatives. From this out there will be bad blood between them. Bergeron went so far as to suggest that the Government should probe Into Wallace's administration of the Customs department when they would rake up great scandals. Sanford Fleming publishes an article in strong opposition to the fast Atlantic service which he declares, on account of fog, to be an Impossibility to the St. Lawrence.

He advocates a terminus at Halifax or St. John. THEIR AWFUL SITUATION. Robbed of Their All, Shelterless. Victims of the Florida Storm Are In a Sad Pllgiht.

Jacksonville, Oct, 3. VFurthe.r advices from the region devasted by the recent stonm say that no one can conceive the Situation of the people of the western part of Alachua and Levy and the eastern part of Lafayette county. Left homeless, with no food, the cotton crop destroyed, and no resources at han.l, starvation stares them in the face. So serious indeed is their situation that people who have visited them are earnestly advocating a special session of the Legislature to make ome provision for them. In the western part of Alachua county, where thousands of people most of them well to do 'farmers, all of their homes have been destroyed, together with the provisions that they had stored for the winter.

At Yule, the storm made a cleaner path Chan at any other point. Not a tree remains standing, every store Is down an'd some parts of the buildings were carried for three miles. Goods such as clothing and dress fabrics were found five miles away, tossed around trees or floating in the Suwanee river. The people have gathered what lumber they could find and, together with logs, ihave made a camp In hich women and children are being sheltered by the 'hundreds, and their food is nearly gone. They cannot use wagons or horses to get a fresh supply but have sent men to lirandford and they will make an effort to bring groceries down the Suwanee river in a boat.

Nearly every house in Lafayette has been I'. 'tr oyed. Nothing 'is left of May, the county seat. East of the Suwanee river the probable loss to the pho plants is estimated at $50, ooo. In Lnf iyette county the valuable cedar forests are lost.

Stock has been killed by the hundreds. All crops have been destroyed and hundreds of people are in distress. They have no homes and nothing to eat. To aJJ to their distress their farms are covered with trees which will to be removed before the farms can be cultivated. The turpentine men on the Suwanee river are financially ruined.

All had invested their money in turpentine lands and stills and everything is destroyed. Nearly all of th. have discharged every laborer they had. This means that at least men are out of employment. AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.

Plans for Another Revolutionary Outbreak in Nicaragua. Under date of Managua, Nicaragua, Sept. the Associated Press wir ed t5e following to The World morning: As cable To day to the A. P. plans for another revolutionary thii the out break against President Zelaya have been discovered.

Several suspects were arrested two nights ago. They are ac cused of making preparations to bring, about an uprising against the Govern ment. But the men arrested are not persons of general induence. In fact some of them are suspected of being spies for the Government and it is added that Oiiey ill possibly be released on making actusiUons against native Nicaraguans of wealth, so as to furn 1 ish the authorities w.th an exruse for; imposing heavy fines upon them. In spite of this, however, there is no doubt that there exists a strong feeling of opposition in certain quarters to tfi Government of Pr sM nt Zelaya an 1 th have been Kevvral movements of importance among his pul.to al oppom ri'ts and further trouble is appr h.

The Chronicle's correspondent with the Nile expedition telegraphed that Ihe and the artist, Seppingsawig'ht were capzej in the Hannek cataract. They drifted clinging to the wreckage through the pools and rapids of the river for 20 miles, when they gained the western bank of the Nile opposite Foreg.

They were nearly naked and the natives treated them badly, refusing to give them food. They spent the night in She desert and were finally rescued by dragomen.

Heturn of a Scientific Party With Valuable Observations Photographs Taken. San Francisco, Oct. 3. Arthur Curtiss James' magnificent yacht Coronet and the party of scientists she carried to Japan to observe the August eclipse of the sun have returned. The Coronet made a smooth passage from Yokolhama.

Being held back by icalins and head winds she was 30 days out. Though clouds Interfered greatly with the plans jf Prof. David P. Todd, of Amherst college, who had charge of the scientific end of the expedition, the results obtained, says, will 'be of much Interest end profit to science. The party took up its station at Essashi, one of tlhe most remote points on the northern coast of Yezzo, the northern island of Japan.

It proved a more favorable point for observation than Akkeshi, where the Dick observatory expedition sent by Col. Fred Crocker from this city set up its instruments. The scientific party consisted of Prof. Todd, Past Assistant Engineer Pemberton, V. S.

Willard P. Gerrish, of Harvard observatory; F. A. Thompson, mechanician; K. Ogawa, photographer, and their assistants.

H.ie wife of Prof. Todd, being the first white woman to set foot on the northern coast of Yezzo, was an object of curiosity to the Ainos, who inhabit the region. On August the corona was seen and a great number of photographs of it made in the two minutes and 30 seconds of the totality of the eclipse. The party had three complete sets of the improved "photographic apparatus devised by Prof. Todd, with a total capacity of 450 pictures in the brief space of time permitted.

The instruments were not pressed to their limit, because the conditions were not what it was hoped they would be. To the great satisfaction of Prof. Todd, however, his wonderful machinery worked to perfection. Prof. Todd refuses to tell just what new material he brings back with him as a result of his observation.

It will first be published in all official reports. The Coronet will remain here about a week, when she will start for New York 'in charge of Sailing Master C. S. Crasby and his crew. The scientists and the guests on board will return home overland.
