THE INSCRUTABLE TURK.

His NhsruIe in Armenia to be Made the
 Subject of Investigation by the Euro
 pean Powers at the Suggetion Of Great
 Britain.
 LoNBoN. April l1.-Advices from Con- stantin0ple show that the British con- suls at Smyrna, Trebizond and other places fn Anatolia have sent te the British embassy in ConstantinopAe, list containing the names of l,90e Ar menians who are imprisoned on varsous charges ir the several consular jafis- dictions. The question of the treat ment of the Armenian Christians by the Turks is again assuming import anee, and it is reported that Great Britain will propose the holding Of a conference by the European powers to consider Turkish misrule in Armenia It is charged that 1t IS q common occurrence for Turks to kid nap Christian girls and dispose of them to the owners of harems If the rela- lives and friends of the girls attempt to regain them they are met with the statement that the girls have em- braced Mohammedanism. and this as rule ends the matter so far as the Ar menians are concerned. The Chris tians are ridiculed and subjected to gross outrages. and if they object to that treatment they find themselves ar rested on trumped-up charges and al- ways found guilty.

THEY STRUCK FIRST

Ana Afterwards Considered the Propriety
 or the Act, and Found No Ground to
 otahd on-The Great strike at the Worlds
 "" orounds Thing of the Past-Com-
 mon Sense and Concession Prevailed.
 CHICAGO, April 10.-The strike inau- gurated at the Worlds fair grounds was amicably settled to-day at a meet ing or the council of administration with the executive committee of the Building Trades council The whole trouble is settled as far as the exposi- ton company is concerned, but there are, however, several contractors on the grounds who must sign the agree ment before their men will return to work.
 There are 2,OOO men who will not return to work in the morning. committee will be at work early en- deavoring to get these contractors to sign the agreement, which will put their men at work and enable the great enterprise to be pushed to an early completion.
 The session of the two committees this afternoon was a long one and both sides of the question were discussed. Director of Works Burnham proved to Mir. Russell, president of the Build ing Trades council, that the building trades had agreed when work on the buildings was commenced that union and nonunion men should work together without discrimination. It was this question of hiring nonunion men that was the real cause of the strike Pres ident Russell finally acknowledged that in that one particular the build ing trades were in the wrong. The doc ument was tken drawn up by George Massey, and was signed by the execu- tive committee of the building trades.
 The strike was then declared off and President Russell promised that the men should return to work in the morn ing as if nothing had happened. Dele egates will be stationed outside the grounds to instruct the men to go back, but not to allow the men working for those COZ tractors who have not signed the new scale to resume work. The meeting broke up in a friendly man. ner, the delegates shaking hands with President Higginbotham and Director of Works Burnham.
