DESPERATE ARMENIANS.
Constantinople, Oct. 3. The Armenians in the Turkish capital attempted to march to the Grand Vizier’s office to present a petition. The Patriarch tried to dissuade them, but without avail, and the Armenians, shouting “Liberty or death,” persisted iu their march. Their advance was resisted by the officials, aud a stubborn fight followed. Major Shervet Bey, Jaide-de-camp to the Minister of Police, aud several guards who tried to bar their way were shot, and in the fray that followed 150 were killed or wounded, principally Armenians. Five hundred men were arrested. The Sultau is reported to be iu a panic. It is alleged that Turkish troops slaughtered a number of wounded in cold blood; also that the Armenians killed two Judges iu the Law Courts.
