secretary Gresham Says Turkey Must hos
spect American Rights.
WASHINGTON, April s. - The United
States has taken vigorous action in re-
gard to outrages on American citizens
at Marsovan, in the Turkish dominions,
and the violation of the m.ils of the
United States legation. The facts of
the case are as follows:
On January 10 last a number of Sc
ditious placards were distributed
throughout the region Of Marsovan
and Casarea. in the center of Asia
Minor. On account Of alleged seditious
movements existing among the Ar
menians the Turkish authorities as
cribed the authorship of these placards
to the students of Anatoba college, an
American educational institution Of
Marsovan. On the night of February 2
the girls seminary of this institution
was fired aud burned to the ground.
There was strong circumstantial evil
dence to show that this was done with
the full knowledge, if not by the direct
act. of the Turkish officials.
Demands for redress made to the
ter demands of their side that the al
legged seditious movements of the Amer
lean students should first be investi-
gated and determined upon before any
efforts were made to discover the per-
petrators of the outrages complained
of.
Secretary Gresham has cabled to Min
l. ter Thompson at Constantinople a
strong expression Of the presidents
views on the outrage, and demanding
not only prompt reparation for the
burned seminary, but the punishment
of all parties found guilty in
the matter Minister Thompson is
instructed that no alleged prior
acts of students are to affect the rights
of this government in the premises.
Minister Thompson is charged TO give
renewed attention to the matter and to
dispatch special messenger if neces-
sary to Consul Jewett and see to the in
volatility of the official correspondence.
The minister is TO act promptly and ad-
wise the department by cable. No eff
fort is to be relaxed in securing the
legal rights of our citizens in Turkey.

..NoNE or OUR FUNERALS"
That Our Contemporary Is Not Kept
Posted Up to Date.

Posted Up to Date.
Merely because we made proper
allusion to our contemporary last
week, it's head refused to send us
copy of his last issue, in which he
comes out in defense of the giant OF
monopolies, the telephone patentees,
and perpetrates such avery,very cruel
pun on the editor of this paper. He
admits his ignorance in not having
read the Globe and Tribune of March
9TH, in which there appeared over
glaring headlines, articles on the ex-
piratiop of the telephone patent, as
we'll as editorials of glee over the death
of this giant of monopolies. He adj
mits his ignorance of not knowing
that Stanley & Patterson is one of the
largest electrical firms in the United
States, and prefers taking the word of
a corporation organized by the Bell
monopoly, in preference to the cleo
trical firm and all the leading daily
papers.
The GAZETTE will continue it's fight
against monopolis; and at the same
time will assist local concerns in adj
vancing the city's interests, even
though it be 'none of our funerals, ITO
use our contemporaries expression,
and so far as telephones are concerned,
it desires to assist our contemporary
in making connections with one or two
towns within a radius of 20 miles from
lis office so that clandestine meetings
might be satisfactorily arranged.
