TURKISH BARBARITIES?

The Russians have been busily at
work recently in discovering persecu-
tions of Christians by the Turks in
Armenia, and they claim to have un-
earthed system of barbarity never
equalled in modern history. From
the time of Peter the Great the north.
ern empire has had an eye on Constan-
tinople and an outlet by means of the
Mediterranean sea. Unfortunately
for the white car he has no seaport
of any consequence except Archangel,
and this in such a northern latitude
that it does not add to his Importance
as a maratime power. The allied ma
tions of Europe control the Dardan-
elles, and in every instance he Las
been baked of accomplishing his pur-
pose. At the close of the last
war with Turkey his victorious
armies was in full march towards
Constantinople until the guns of the
British fleet were pointed towards his
soldiers and he called halt. If it
had not been for the craftsmanship of
BeaconsGeld Russia to-day would
have had control Of the narrow strait
between the Black and the Mediter-
ranean seas, and would have dom
mated the commerce of southern
Europe. But the bulldog tenacity of
the British premier stopped this game
of the willy despot, and ever since he
has looked jealously towards this out
let to the ocean. From the past his
tory of Russia for two humid
red years, it is reasonable to believe
that these Turkish barbarities are
manufactured by Russian diplomats
to pick a quarrel with Turkey to get
to the Mediterranean. The facts of this
matter are that the Sultan's govern
ment has been more liberal and lenient
towards Christians and unbelievers
in Mohammedonism than Russia.
Turkey has granted freedom of con-
science to all non conformists, while
the detestable despot of the north has
ruled everything with an iron hand.
Jews have been prosecuted most bru-
tally, and all unbelievers in the Greek
Catholic church have suffered ter
ribly. The Czar has no con-
science, no idea of right or wrong
only acquisition of territory, and
this he will accomplish by the most
and detestable means. This
latest ruse of barbarities in Armenia
must be taken with great deal of al
lowance by all fair minded men, and
# war is inaugurated by the despot of
Europe other nations will not sympa-
;hize " ith the movement, but will use
he force of arms to keep the despot
n check.

THE CRONIN TRIAL.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-The Jouraaz this
evening asserts that either IN States At
torney Longnecker's opening speech in
the Cronin case tomorrow, or in the evi.
deGce to be introduced later, there will
be several surprises. The weak point in
the case has always been thought to be
the inability of the state to show that DR..
Cronin actually entered tie Carlson cot
tage on the night cf the murder. The
Journal claims that the states attorney
has two witnesses who saw Cr0nin driven
up to the cottage and watched HIM enter.
1t Is also said that evidence Will be pro-
duced 10 show that four men took part
IN the murder, Coughlin, Cooley, Bulk.
and man not yet arrested or indicted.
Sullivan, it is claimed, acted as sentry
outside, and Kupze is said to be the man
who drove Coughlin to the cottage.

Gladstone in speech at Southport

Gladstone in speech at Southport
said the Cretan question was a menace
to the peace of Europe. The "grand
old man" has devoted the late years
of his life to the betterment of the
British people; but during his premier
ship the wises5 and safest foreign
policy was not followed. The Soudan
blunder and his vacillating position on
the Afghan frontier question have not
placed him among the best and
brightest of European statesmen. His
opinion on Cretan affairs must be
taken in the light of his former acts.

THE PENSION CONTROVERSY.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-It is thought
the controversy between Secretary No
BILE and Corporal Tanner over the latter's
management of the pension office is not
yet at an end. 1t is understood that
more letters and further correspondence
will be published, and that the subject is
likely to occupy considerable public at
tention during the week. More feeling
is evidently entertained by the parties
directly interested than on the part of the
public, for, so far as the body of the peo-
pie Is concerned, very little feeling is ex-
pressed. There is regret among his
friends that ex Commissioner Tanner has
said so much on the subject, and his ad,
mirers have vely materially decreased in
number. Miss Tanner, daughter of the
late commissioner, still holds the position
of confidential clerk TO commissioner of

President Eliot has been canonized

never would if it had not been for the

are very closely related.

Democracy emphasizes the fact that
that party suits his notions on a ma

Republicans. He is a pronounced

question that he was brutally mur-

LONGEVITY RATION CASE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Army officers
are much interested in longevity ration
case now pending before Second Comp
t-oller Gllkeson, involving the question
of pay tor longevity raiioDs fer almost
every officer in the army. The total
amount OF all claims involved is about
$1,500,0O0.
When the first claim was presented to
the second auditor 1t was disallowed.
The court of claims, however, decided
that officers were entitled under the law
to an allowance for longevity rations, and
the supreme court affirmed the decision
The secohd comptroller still hesitates 10
allow the claims, as he is doubtful
as to whether the decision of the su-
preme court operates to reopen accounts
that have already been settled. The Sec
ond comptroller has devoted much time
and thought to the case, and has finally
written to the attorney general asking his
opinion On the subject.
