PIE Butchered in saIsun.
dispatch TO the London Times from
Vienna says that letter has been re-
ceived there from Smyrna reporting that
Zeki Pasha, a Turkish marshal with
detachment of Nizams and n 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-
firmaton 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 tho
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,
off than 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 of the
outrages. Information from various
sources tends to prove that the Sassun
affair was most serious.
A dispatch from Constantinople 10 the
Standard says that in response 10 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unreservedly withdrawn the charge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 n 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 Armenans who
were supposed to have been killed fled
from the soldiery and are now returning.

Secretary Carlisle has decided to accept
the Stewart syndicate of bids for the en-
tire new issue of 5O.000,000 , per cent
bonds. The figure offered by the syndi-
cite was HOT. The following official
statement concerning the acceptance Of
the syndicate's proposal was made at the
Treasury:
THE Secretary of the Treasury has
accepted the proposal of John a. Stewart,
president of the United States Trust Com
pany, and his associates to purchase the
entire issue Of ) per cent bonds, amount
ing To S50,000OO0, at 111OI1, and ac-
trued interest from November |. The
proceeds of the bonds under this bid will
be Sl9,517.62 greater than they would be
if the other highest bids were accepted.
A very important advantage to the Gov
eminent in accepting this bid is the fact
that all the gold will be furnished outside,
and none drawn from the treasury. II is
also more convenient. and less expensive

Congressional subcommittee Begins
It's Investigation at Cleveland.
The House Subcommittee on Judiciary,
appointed TO investigate the charge
brought by the Central Labor Union
against United States Judge Augustus j.
Kicks, began its inquiry in the Federal
building at Cleveland Monday. The sub
committee consists of Representative Jo-
seph W. Bailey of Texas, as chairman,
Edward Lane of Illinois and Case Broder-
lex of Kansas. The Central Labor I'm
ion was represented before the committee
10y Arnold Green, while Judge Kicks was
represented by Virgil T. Kline, Judge :.
Il. Williamson, Judge Sanders and An
drew Squire. The charge made by the
Central Labor Union against Judge
Kicks is, in brief that while acting in
the capacity of special examiner in some
forty patent cases he failed to turn over
about 81 900 in fees belonging to the Gov
eminent. 1t is alleged that after Kicks
was appointed United States judge he ap-
proved his own accounts as special exam
liner in these cases.

Iron Here and i'm England.

Secretary Morton is convinced, as a
result of his visit to Europe that the
seat of empire in the world of iron and
steel is TO be transferred from England
10 the United States in the near future.
He learned while IL London that the
supply of hematite ore in Spain on which
the English have been drawing is nearly
exhausted. At best the ore is only 40
per cent. pure on an average, and the
haul to the British blast furnaces is Il
long one. In the United States we have
in the Lake Superior region a practi-
cally ineXhaustible supply of hematite
ores averaging 60 per cent, and this can
be delivered TO the iron and steel mills
of Chicago, Cleveland and other lake
cities by short all-water haul. For
these reasons Secretary Morton believes
the United States will soon pass Great
Britain in the output of iron and steel,
and we may soon outbid our rival in
the markets of the world.

LARGE DEBTS AND no ASSETS.
Failure of Neal Brothers, of Portland
Accused of EmbezZlemcnt.

The rumors concerning the financial
trouble of Neal Bros x Co, the largest
milling firm in Eastern Indiana, proved
true. 1t is expected the debts will run
from 100000 to S150.000 without cent
of assets in sight. The creditors include
every grain dealer in Portland and at De
catur, Berne. Ridgevile, and other places,
besides hundreds of farmers who stored
their crops of wheat, all of which is now
gone. Among these are several widows.
Wallace and Burton Neal, the members
of the firm, were arrested on the charge
of enlightenment, preferred by Mrs. Sarah
Frye, of West Chester, who had her
wheat crop in storage. The Meals were
placed under bond of 81 900 each.

Six Indians of the Crew of Sealing
Schooner Await Sentence.
At the Westminster assizes, Vancouver,
Il. c.. six of the Indian crew of the
sealing schooner G. ID. Rand were found
guilty of revolt and mutiny on the high
seas. Just outside Behring Sea, on last
seasons sealing cruise, this crew took
possession of the vessel, and remained in
command for nine days. The Indians
outnumbered the white crew three to one.
At length the captain took advantage Of
a favorable opportunity, when ouly two
of the Indians were on deck, and drove
them into the hold, where he kept them
confined until the vessel reached Van
couver. For the defense il was claimed
that the capatin supplied them with wills
ky, gave them no food, and was taking
them to Copper Island instead of Behring
Sea, as had been agreed upon, and the
Indians fearing barbarous treatment at
the hands of the Russians ut Copper ISL
and, revolted. The defense, however,
was broken down, and the Indians con-
victed

Senator Teller has started for Wash
ington. Before his departure he said re-
garding the new bond issue: ''In my
opinion it is foolish to suppose that the
issue of bonds tends to keep large re-
serve of gold in the treasury, MS the
bonds are purchased with gold that has
been withdrawn from the treasury few
days previously. | don't believe there is
any system of finance that can bring gen
eral prosperity to the country that does
not include the free use of silver with
gold at the present mint ratio of 16 TO /,
or at the French ratio of 1919 to /. be-
lieve further that the political party that
will insure a return of that system will
be the successful party in American poll
tics"

the last few days any number of them

HOWGATE MAY ESCAPE.
Conviction, 1t Is Said, Would Involve
Many Prominent People.

Conviction, 1t Is Said, Would Involve
Many Prominent People.
Washington dispatch says that when
Captain Howgate was brought back from
New York few weeks ago the opinion
was very freely expressed in the depart
ment, as well as through the city gener
ally. that Howgate would never be
brought to trial. 1t was known that any
action by the courts looking to the pun
ishment of the defaulter would certainly
involve great many people who were
prominent ten or fifteen years ago, and 1t
was believed that no legal stone would be
left unturned to prevent n trial of the
willy captain. Now il is announced that
flaws have been found in the Indictment
which will be important enough TO pre-
vent trial. And thus another unbal
anced account will be carried on the books
of the Treasury Department for years to
come. In this connection Il very interest
ing piece of ancient history cropped out.
Ii was reported 10y gentleman who had
intimate knowledge of the affair that the
acquittal of Andrew Johnson was secur-
ed 10y the purchase Of the votes of United
STATES Senators at $4,000 each, and that
the purchase price of one of these Sena
tors was furnished by II prominent Fed
eral official in the North, while the bal
ance of the money was contributed by an
equally prominent official in the South.
The latter. however, concluded he might
as well make little something for him
self, and instead of stealing $4,000 he
nipped $240.000. His defalcation was
known and the record of it is still in the
Treasury Department but no step was
ever taken toward his prosecution be-
cause such action would have resulted in
involving too many people high up in the

Must Sell Bread by Weight.

The market commissioner has caused
quite q furry among the bakers of Read
ing, Pa, by issuing a notice that on and
after January 1, 1895, they will be re-
quired to sell all bread by weight. This
action is taken under an old act of the
Assembly passed in 1877 which directs
that all bread shall be sold by the pound,
and imposes Il penalty of so for every
violation. As the law has been dead
letter for generations its enforcement is
likely to work revolution in the baking
