A despatch from St. Petersburg•
says: The authorities in the Cau-
casus were taken completely by sur-
prise because of the magnitude of
the Tarter rising. There is not the
least doubt that the rising wus
long planned, carefully orgnsized,
and that it is connected with the
separatist movement. The officials
at 'Tiflis state that they have un-
mistakable proof that the revoIt.has
been fiairned by '14trki..h emissaries,
and agitators, ln•arieg green steul•w
arts, t.re now raising the whole
country. Tartars intend laying a
regular siege against Iiaku and
tihusha. They have laid ninny vil-
lages in ruins and pitileeely massa-
cred the inhabitants. Unless suffici-
ent troops are available promptly to
suppress the rising, the whole of
th-ut part of the country will he de -
/estate(' and the populations of the
towns and villages massacred. In
various: parts of the Caucasus banal(
of peasants have been organized
against. the nobles. 'These are in-
vading the domains of the latter
and seizing all the firearms obtain-
able.
The principal fighting is not in
Baku itself, but at falakhan. where
hundreds have been shot by the in-
fantry and artillery, and where 1,-
000 were killed or wounded during
a desperate attack on the 'nilitary
.amp and provision depots. Tho
troops sustained few casualties.
A large number of workmen bar-
ricaderi themselves in the Balakhan
hcspital, and the soldiers began the
attack with rifle fire and Then
stormed the hospital and completed
their work with the bayonet.
The desperate condition of affairs
at Baku is shown by a telegram
from the Governor o1 Iiaku, who
bas sent an urgent despatch to
Tiflis spying that. his troops nre sur-
rounded by Tartars and will inevit-
ably be overwhelmed unless immcdi-
tely relieved.
LOOD-CURDLING ATROCITIES.
A despatch from Paris says: The
tit Parisian says it learns from a
(vete but absolutely trustworthy
urco that the situation at Baku
o -(lay was ns bad as it could he.
Armenians are killing one another
rather than fall into the hands of
the Tartar soldiery, who torture all
who they secure. Massacre follows
massacre. The oil wells are all
ablaze,. The butchery began with
the slaughter of 1,5(10 Armenians,
while the police looked on as if it
were to theatrical display. Women
were shockingly mutilated. Children
trere dashed to pieces b.fore their
mothers' eyes. Men were either eut
to pieces instantly or mutilated be-
fore they were put to death. The
A Vizier, who barricaded
himself in his hous', was roasted to
death with his wife and children.
Ten Armenians, who took refuge in
another •house, were holding out
against the soldiers when a magis-
trate demanded admission. The lat-
ter persuaded then( to come out, as-
suring them of protection. lie then
ordered the soldiers to fall on then(,
and all were barbarously murdered.
MOltE A'I'I(OCI'J'IES FEARED.
A despatch from Tiflis says: The
manager of the Mantas.:ol Company
telegraphs from Baku that the nil
plants and wells at Bibieibat have
been burned, that the depots of the
Caspian Company have also been
destroyed, and that the Christian
workmen are surrounded by thou-
sarls of armed Tartars.
Tiflis is full of refugees from Baku,
who abandoned all their belongings
when they fled. The reception room
of Gen. Shiiinkin is thronged with
arrivals from the scene of atrocities.
A deputation front the great petrol-
eum works has asked for military
protection for 25,000,000 poods of
combustible liquids contained in the.
company's reservoirs at Baku. Ail
the spirit distilleries anal silk -weav-
ing works In the Shusha district
have been burned by Tartars. fart
of the workmen succeeded in escap-
ing to the mountains, but the re-
mainder were killed. The Zaughe-
zur mines and copper foundries are
threatened with immediate attack.
Orders have -been given to despatch
corn to Shushes for the relief of tho
starving population.
A VILLAGE MASSACRED
A Tiflis despatch says:-Advlc•es

all the inhabitants of Minkend, an
Armenian village in the Zungesursk
district, have been massacred by
Tartar nomads. Other villages are

Japanese Indignant Over the
Terms of Peace.
A Tokio despatch says: -'rho first
turbulence etteuduut upon the popu-
lar auger over the terms of peace ar-
ranged with ltussia took place on
'llresdity. A Mass meeting to protest
against the action of the Covenant' nt
was called to take place at Ilibiya
Park, but the metropolitui police
closed the gates and attempted to
pr event the assemblage of the peo-
ple. The municipality protested the
action of the police and finally the
gates were thrown open and a large
crowd guthered and voted in favor
of resolutions declaring the nation
humiliated and denouncing the terms
upon which the treaty of peace wits
arranged. 'l'ke crowd was nerious in
its conduct rather than angry and
the police handled it discretly. The
gathering eventually dispersed in an
orderly manner. Later on, however,
a crowd attempted to hold a meeting
in the Shiitouii Theatre and the
police dispersed it. A portion of the
crowd then proceeded to the ofltce of
the Kokumin Shimbun, the Govern-
ment organ, and begun hooting.
Three employes of the paper urinal
with swords appeared at the door
of the building and checked the at-
tack and tho police again dispersed
the crowd. It was thought that the
trouble had passed when suddenly a
portion of the crowd made a rush at
the building, hurled stones and dam-
aged some of the machinery. Several
persons were injured during the at-
tack t,ut the police eventually clear-
ed the streets and arrested a num-
ber of the rioters.
Rioting broke out again at night.
There were several clashes with aim
pc.lice, and it is estimated that two
were killed and 500 wounded. The
rioting ceased at midnight. The
police stations were the only pro-
perty destroyed.
GUARDING T111 LEGA'T'IONS.
Troops are guarding tl:e foreign
Legations. Apparently there is no
outbreak of anti -foreign sentiment,
but the Government ie anxious to
prevent any danger of injury to the
members of the Legation and other
foreigners. A few foreigners all -early
caught by mobs were roughly handi-
est.
'1fie Nichi-Nicht Shin:bun asks:-
"llow can the Government. retain its
dignity in the presence of such riot-
ing?" It adds that the committee
which organized Tuesday's ire sting
have good standing in society and
are not irresponsible agitators. The
police exceeded their authority, with.
n result that is derogatory to the
honor and dignity of 'Yukio. 1'opular
indignation hits been set on fire, and
the police are finally unable to keep
order. If the conditions continuo the
contagion may spread 011(1 innocent
people and their property may be
damaged.

Before now bad writing hewn been

Among his many attainments Dean
Stanley could not number legibility
in penmanship. Ills letters were more
often than not undecipherable and
not infrequently the cause of amus-
ing misapprehensions. A servant -

snatched up his pen and dashed off

fellow answered an advertisement.
inert and, remarking that he bad ex-
cellent credentials from bran Stan-
ley, presented the mystic scrawl. He
was engaged on the spot.
On another occasion the Dean's.
handwriting almost cost an excellent
servant a place. Desirous of change,
he ,left his old master's service and
apflied for a situation with a weal- )�•
thy old bachelor. to whom he handed
a letter that ho fondly imagined
would guarantee his engagement.
"As far as 1 can make out from•
this letter, said the gentleman,
when he had perused it, "Dean Stan-
ley gives you a most excellent char-
acter; but, knowing as I do that the
Dean's writing is so atrociously bad
as invariably to convey a meaning
directly opposed to its real purport.
I must regretfully, decline to taker
you into my service." Greatly chug
rifled, the man applied to his old
toaster, who, with a hearty laugh
over the episode, promise(' to see. the
gentleman in person. This he did,
and matters were put right.
To back his application for em
ploytnent in the editorial office of a
New York paper a man gave Horace
Greeley's name as reference, at tho
same time presenting a letter writ-
ten by him. The editor, who had
already had much vexatious exper-
ience of Greeley's writing, contented
himself with slaking out. at no
small labor, the signature, took the.
rest on trust, and appointed the ap-
plicant to
A CONFIDENTIAL POST.
Same time afterwards he met (Greeley
and told him that, his nominee had,
nn the strength of his reconun'lda-
tion, ,been taken into the office. "Why
the fellow's a scoundrel!" cried
Greeley, "and I distinctly said in my
letter that on no account was he to -
be employed."
Sir Walter Scott's writing was nt
titnos-not often-dceidedly obscure.
'faking advantage of this a cunning
rascal by some means obtained pos-
session of a (tote of unquestionable
illegibility written by the Brent
novelist, and presented it to Sir 11'nl-
ter's tailor as nn order for a couple
of suits of clothes. The tradesman,
recognising his patron's signature,
took the rest for granted tind execut-
ed the commission, only to find, on
asking for payment, that the note
was an answer to an invitation to
dinner.
