to give to the world the facts of the
terrible atrocities perpstrated upon
Armenian Christians in Asia Minor.
and today representative of the AS
ISOLATED Press succeeded in securing
additional information confirming the
previous statements made. The repre-
sentative today met twenty Armenian
refugees, who arrived here from ar
menia after a journey full of hard
ships and suffering. Securing the SER
vice of first-class Interpreter, he
gathered the Armenians together at q
convenient place, and. having relieved
their pressing necessities, the inter
prefer questioned the refugees con-
corning the terrible events of which
they had in q number OF cases been
eye witnesses. This party OF Armen-
ialS is the first that has escaped from
the districts where the massacres oc-
CURED, and it is believed that even the
worst remains to be told. as the hor-
rors described are understood to have
lasted for long time after this party
left. Most of the persons who told
their stories today escaped from
Moosh, Bitlis and Sassoun, taking with
them what little they could carry and
making their way with the greatest
difficulty to the RUSSO Turkish from
tier and going to ErfVan and Fitch

THE TURF
sheepshead BAY season

New York, Dec. 3.-The following was
given out at the rooms of the Jockey
club tonight:
''The racing season at Sheep5nead
Bay next summer will be all arranged
for and left in allegiance until after the
meeting of the legislature. II the leg
islators do not make racing a nisde-
meanor there will be racing at Sleeps
head bay next season.
while entries will only be received
subject to the conditions set forth In
the resolution, there is very little
doubt among competent turf authori-
ties that the anti-gambling amendment
will be so construed as to allow en-
trance fees and stake events. If such
is the case there will be a Suburban,
a FNturity and a Realization stake

money power md in accordance with
an evident agreement with the Eng
fish government called ma Fistyrnir'd
Congress together in special session TO
repeal the purchasing csSuse of the
Sherman law, HE boldly &eclared in
his cali that repeal was AL that was
necessary to restore prosperity nrhis
country. Heeaccomp1ished his purpose
by the coercion of the cuckoos Of his
own party through bulldozing and
shrewd use Of the patronage of his
Office, but although he has made many
public utterances since that time. he
has never taken occasion to notify the
country that his prop1esy regarding
the best method OF securing return
of prosperity has been fulfilled. The
reason is obvious. The times have
grown worse instead of better since
the repeal bill passed in the fall of
1888, and even President Cleveland
does not possess the hardihcod to at
tempt to justify that stupendous
criminal blunder.''

shutting a first lien upon the assets of
failed banks in favor of their con-
tlibuting banks.
As a further security it Is contemplate
ed that the existing provision fixing the
individual liabilities Of stockholders Is
to be retained and the banks indebted
ness on account of its circulating notes
| is to be made a first lien on all its
notes. For the purpose of meeting
the expenses of printing notes,
official supervision, cancellation and
other like charges, there shall be
paid tax of, say, one-half of one per
cent per annum on the average amount
of notes in circulation. 1t is further
provided that there shall be no national
bank notes issued of less denomination
than sic; that each national bank. ex-
cept in case of a. failed bank, shall re-
deem or retire its notes in the first
instance at its own Office at agencies
to be designated by 1t, and no fixed re-
serve may be maintained on account of
deposits. Another very important faa-
ture of this plan Is the exemption of
state banks from taxation by the
United States in cases where it is shown
to the satisfaction of the secretary of
the treasury and comptroller of the
currency by banks claiming such ex-
emption that thfy have not had out
standing their circulating notes. exceed
ing rs per cent of their paid up and
unimpaired capital: that their stock
holders are individually liable for the
redemption OF their circulating note to
the full extent of their ownership of
stock; that the liability of banks upon
their circulating notes constitutes under
their state law first lien upon their
assets; that such banks have kept and
maintained a guarantee fund IN Uaited
States legal tender notes, including
treasury notes of $780, equal to 30 per
cent of their outstanding circulating
notes, and such banks have promptly
redeemed their circulating notes when
presented at their principal or branch
offices. It is quite likely that. this
scheme may be usefully amended in
some of its details; but / am satisfied it
furnishes basis for very great inn
provement in our present banking and
currency system.
I conclude this communication fully
Iapprecia ting that the responsibility for
jail legislation affecting the people of
the United States rests upon their
representatives in the Congress and as
isuring them that whether in accordance
with the recommendations have made
or not, I shall be glad to cooperate in
perfecting any legislation that tends to
the prosperity and welfare of our
country. GROVER CLEVELAND.

San Francisco, Dec.

San Francisco. Dec. 81 The
Chronicle will say edltorially:
Perhaps the most remarkable fea-
ture of the message is the manner in
which the president disposes of the
tariff question. He gives it only one
brief paragraph, showing none of the
fire which characterized tine Catclrings
letter. AS a tariff reformer he shows
the dispiriting defeat of November 6.
The message takes up the subject of
currency reform with, considerable
earnestnests and vigor, but everything
the president says is from the stand
point of the banking interest and
Wall street demands. The president
has not one word to say about the
question of silver coinage. He shows,
however, by his silence ard by his full
endorsement of the Wall street scheme,
that he Is hand in glove with the gold
monon1etallists, as he always has been.

San Francisco, Dec. S.-The Exanin-
er will say editorially:
THE president in his message fav-
ors the abolition of every particle Of
differentiai duty in favor of refined
sugar, and the abolition of the re-
taliatory duty on refined imported
from countries that pay export boun-
ties. If he had taken Gllis stand ait
the close OF the last session, instead
of permitting Mr.. Carlisle to identify
the administration with the Sugar
Trust, some things might have turned
out differently. It is to be regretted
that the president could not have
found room in his brief statement TO
say something about our policy to-
ward the Nicaragua canal. There is
little to say about the message as q
whole, because it is not a whole but
an aggregation of unrelated parts. 1t
makes some good recommendations,
but as whole 1T IS non-committal to
a degree that might suggest tirnidlty If
q more probable explanation were not
! found in weariness and ill-healtil.'

Louisville, KY, Dec. 3-The Courier

sage, committed to Congress yester-
day, is unusually long and is almost
as uninteresting as it is long. Aside
from the Endorsement and synopsis of
Secretary Carlisles plan for currency
reform, with one or two other recon-
mendations, the message has but little
other significance than attaches to a
clock-like condensation OF the various
departmental reports. In this respect
it is very different from some of the
preceding messages of Mr.. Cleveland"
