All Goes to a Syndicate.

Secretary Carlisle has decided to nc-
cept the Stewart syndicate of bids for the
entire new issue of S5O,OO0,0O0 . per cent
bonds. The figure offered by the syndi-
cate was 111,017 The following official
statement concerning the acceptance of
the syndicates proposal was made at the
Treasury:
THE Secretary OF the Treasury has ac-
cepted the proposal of John A. Stewart,
president of the United States Trust
Company, and his associates to purchase
the entire issue of > per cent bonds
amounting to $4,000, at 111.011, and
accrued interest from November /. The
proceeds of the bonds under this bid will
be $40, 511.62 greater than they would be
if the other highest bids were accepted.
A very important advantage to the Gov
ernment in accepting this bid is the fact
that all the gold will be furnished out
side and none drawn from the treasury.

sive to the department, to deal with one

Bears an Olive Branch.

De Ting, the chief of the imperial Gus
toms at Iien Tsin, who was recently sum-
moned to Pekin in order TO confer with
the government as to ways and means for
raising money for the war, has left for
Japan in order to arrange terms of peace.
The departure of the Chinese customs
chief for japan is regarded by officials in
Washington as the result of Japan's de-
mand for direct offer from China The
De Ting mentioned in the cable is said
to be DIFFERING. a German, who occupies
the position of commissioner of GUS
toms. That he should be sent as the
peace envoy is accounted for by officials
on the ground that an indemnity would
probably be secured on the customs re-
ceipts. 1t has been one of Japan's con-
tentions that she would expect to receive
the customs receipts of the big Chinese
ports in case an indemnity was arranged.
1t is said that the Chinese envoy will
probably be the guest of United States
Minister Dun at Toxic. japanese officials
have been accorded every courtesy.
Although Japan shows no signs of ex-
haustion, fiscal or military, her Govern
ment' and people ought tc be satisfied
with the magnificent progress already
more formidable as to numbers and allied
with the most aggressive imperial SOW
ereignties of Europe and Asia. Eng
land interests are implicated with Chi
mas; Russia's are complicated with Chi
mas. If Japan can arrange peace which,
first, shall completely detach Corea from
China; which, secondly, shall give no
new footing TO Russia on the northeast
nor to England in the ports and mines
of Corea, Japan will prove herself not
only war power of distinguished rank,
Notwithstanding her insular insignif-
canoe and her comparatively small num-
bers, but she will have outwitted tho
entire array of European diplomatists
who have been lowering over the con-
test like vultures expecting to prey on
both contestants.
China Will bear watching in all states
of negotiation for peace. Shameless in
treachery, recreant to pledges, savage to
captives, barbarous in all respects in
which she has not been partially civilized
by force, her diplomats will not hesitate
to cheat even their own agent in the pc
gotiations

KILLED LIKE BEASTS.
Two Thousand of the Unprotected Peo
PIE Butchered in sa.Sun.


A dispatch to the London Times from
Vienna says that q letter has been re-
ceived there from Smyrna reporting that
Zeki Pasha, Turkish marshal, with q
detachment of Nizams and n field bat
terry, massacred 1000 Armenians at Sas-
sun. The bodies of the dend were left I'M
buried and their presence has caused an
outbreak of cholera, Many Christians
are reported to have fed by secret paths
across the Russian frontier.
So far there has been no official con-
frmation 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 than under the yoke of Turkey.
A dispatch to the London Daily News
from Censtantinople 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 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 Bltlis,
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 i'm
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 fled
from the soldiery and are now returning.

Trade Gains Slowly.

X. G.. Dun Il Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: There is some change for the
better. The gain is slow and in some di
rections not very distinct, but the signs
of it are little more definite than last
week. The most important of them is
larger employment of labor, answering =
better demand on the whole for manu-
featured products. Much of this is due
to the unnatural delay of ordersfor the
to the unnatural delay of orders for the
winter which resulted from prolonged un-
certainty, but it means actual increase
in earnings and purchasing pow
er of the millions, and SO gives promise of
a larger demand in the future. Prices Of
farm products in the aggregate do not i'm
prove, but the prevailing hopefulness is
felt in somewhat larger transactions.

At the session of the knights of Labor

protesting against the issue of new bonds
by the United States Government. A
resolution favoring the amalgamatiOn of
all brewing associations into one Organi-
zation was referred to the Executive
Board and n recommendation that surface
railway employees of New York be re-
united in one body of the knights of
Labor was adopted. The next convention
will be held in Washington in November,

Master Workman Sovereign moved that
the salary of the General Master Work
man be reduced from $4,000 to $500.
The motion was unanimously carried.
