WASHINGTON, April s,LThe Bnitea
States has taken vigorous actionfin re-
gard to the outrages on Amer lean citi-
zens at Marsevan, In the Turkish do
miniOnS and Che violation of the mails
of the United States legation. The
facts of the case are as follows. On the
10th Of January last a number of sedi-
tious placards were distributed
throughout the region of Marsevan .and
Ctesatea, in the center of Asil Minor.
On acc6iint H alleged scditious motives
existing among the Christians, the
Turkish authorities ascribed the au.
thorship of these placards to the stu.
dents of Anatoba college, an American
educational institution ut Marsevan.
On the night of the I'd OF Febrdlry
the seminary of this institution was
fred and bt,rned to the ground. There
was strong circunistaltial evidence to
show that this was done With the full
knowledge if not by the direct act cf
the Turkish officials. The condition Of
Americans in that .place became so
critical that limited States Consul Milo
A. Jewett was dispatched thither from
Sevia and the AmeIicatis id that die
trict have been Under his tf6tection
ever since. Dispatches passing be-
tween Minister Thompson and Consul
Jewett at Marsevan have been re-
peatedly violated, and formal complaint
of this fact has been made by the
American minister to the sublime
porte.
Demands for redress made to the
Turkish authorities were met by
counter demands on their side that the
alleged seditious movements of the
American students should first be in

LAMARTINE predicted fifty years ago
that before the end of this century
newspapers would supplant books. He
said: Mankind will write their book
day by day, page by page. Thought
will spread abroad with the rapidity of
light. Instantly conceived, instantly
written, it will spread from pole to
pole, suddenly burning with the fervor
of soul which made it burst forth: it
will be the reign of the human mind in
all its plenitude: it will not have time
to ripen, to accumulate in the form Of a
book; the book will arrive too late; the
only book possible from day to day is
the newspaper"
