KILLED LIKE BEASTS.

Two Thousand of the Unprotected Fec.
pie Butchercd in sassun.
A dispatch to the London Times from
Vienna says that a letter has been re-
ceived there from Smyrna reporting that
Zeki Pasha, a Turkish marshal, with a
detachment of Nizams and a field bat
terry, massacred 1000 Armenians at Sas-
sun. The bodies of the dead were left un-
buried and their presence has caused an
outbreak of cholera. Many Christians
are reported to have fled by secret paths
across the Russian frontier.
So far there has been no official con-
firmation of this news, but if it is true it
is time the powers share in the RESPONSE
bility by their failure to enforce article 81
of the Berlin treaty, which imposes on
them the duty of seeing that the Porte
takes measures to protect Armenians.
The latter declare that they hope for
nothing from Europe, but that they still
have confidence in Great Britain. Nu-
merous appeals have been made by the
Armenians to the British foreign Office.
The last appeal received says that the
Armenians do not wish to see more Of
their territory annexed by Russia, but
if Great Britain is unable to help them
they will be compelled to look to Russia,
under whose yoke they would be better
off thar under the yoke Of Turkey.
A dispatch to the London Daily News
from ~Constantinople says that the ener-
getic action of Sir Philip Currie, the Brit
ish Ambassador to Turkey, has caused
CONSERVATION among the members Of the
Turkish Government. Everything has
been done to keep secret the facts IF the
outrages. Information from various
sources tends to prove that the Sassun
affair was most serious. ]
A dispatch from C~onstantinople to the
Standard says that in response to the
protest made by Sir Philip Currie, British
Ambassador to Turkey, the Porte has
unreservedly withdrawn the charge
against Mr.. Hallward, the British Consul
at Van, of melting the Armenians at
Sassun and elsewhere to revolt. The
charge grew out of the investigation
made by Mr.. Hallward into the Armen-
ian massacres and his report to the Brit
ish Ambassador. The Governor of Bitlis,
who is seriously involved in the outrage,
made the charge, it is said, for the pur-
pose of revenge.
The Sultan has decided to send a COM
mission composed of three members of
his military household and one civilian to
Sassun for the purpose of making an inn
partial inquiry into the outrages on Ar
menians. The latest news is to the eff
feet that many of the Armenians who
were supposed to. have been killed fed
from the soldiery and are now returning.

sition Of dictator, and with the TaOtai
WI and the commander Of the forces at
Port Arthur.
The influential signers Of the memorial
declare these two officials to be guilty of
high treason and of deliberately selling
state secrets and war material to the en-
-@my. They are further charged with in
veSting money in Japan, with harboring
reasonable designs against their En-
peror and the Chinese Empire, and with
conSpiring TO procure the overthrow of
China.
Punishment of COn%spirators Urged.
The memorial urges upOn the Emperor
the instant dismissal and summary pun
ishment of all concerned in the con-
spiracy.
Gen. Ii Hung Chang, who is declared
70 be the prime mover in the alleged con-
spiracy against his own country, was
born in the Anu-IIuel province of China
on Feb. 16, 1922. In 1860 he co-operated
with General (then Colonel Gordon in
suppressing the Tapping rebellion, being
then Governor of the Thiang-Sin PROV
incc. The other Thiang province being
added to his rule, he was created Viceroy
OF the united countries in May, 1860. The
following year he was appointed Minister
Plcnipotentiary, and in 1861 Niceroy OF
Hong-Kuang, and n grand chancellor in
1863. After the Tien-Tsin massacre in
$50, he was ~despoiled Of his titles and
otherwise punished on the charge OF not
assisting the general in command, but
in 1872 the then Emperor restored him
TO favor and offered him the office OF
Grand Chancellor. He was the mediator
for fixing the indemnity for the murder
Of Mr.. Margary, who was killed, in
i>16. while e%ndeavoring to explore south
western China. Then he was appointed
Yiceroy of the metropolitan provinces OF
Pe-Chih-Li, and as such has been the
administrator of the Chinese empire. lie
has been regarded as n man of liberal
views, and has permitted coal-mining ana
coast steamer traffic to be carried on Dy
English companies, and it has been
thought that he would be favorable even
10 the building Of railways.
