on the Armenian atrocities.
Mr.. Depew began by saying that the
year 1894 has been peculiarly unhappy
one. The world had been visited dur
ing the year by revolu tiou, both social
and financial. But the crowning case
of unhappiness, and the one which left a
bloody stain upon the history OF the
year. was the murder OF the helpless
Armenians by the Turks.

zens to begin the new year with a pro-
test against the outrages at Sassoun.
The peace OF Europe is only maintained
by an ever increasing armament.
''At Washington all may be silent, but
America, with 65 000,0 600 voices, in Il
language Of her own-the universal LAM
guage OF the world-will protest in tones
that cannot be mistaken against the
slaughter of our fellow Christians"

to Mr.. Cleveland and the American
congress in favor OF an arbitration treaty
between Great Britain and the United

IL.
The intention is to use the memorial

water pipes frozen. The occurrence was
10 unusual that it was some time before

had actually frozen in the pipes. There

There was but one vacant seat in the

to a woman not handsome, but highly
dressed. A middled aged man entered and
on seeing him approach the seat she put
her muff in it, Observing her little game,
he sauntered aimlessly along aud sat on
the roll of fur. Her indignation and sur
prise knew no bounds, and she looked
around the car for sympathy. but every
body seemed to be on the side of the man,
who never cracked q smile, nor showed by
any sign that he knew what he had done.
A salts bottle in the muff got the worst OF
the incident, and the car was filed with
a highly ammoniated odor for the next
hour. Somehow or other people like to see
an impolite and shrewish woman get the
worst of it. In this case there was a great
