Turkish 0utrages in Armenia
Cannot be Denied.
Constantinople Papers MuzzIed--Au-
thorities Suppress Facts.
Japanese Expected to Land at Che Foo En-
Route 10 Pekin.

London, Dec. I0.-The Daily News cor
respondent in Constantinoplc, writes:
DcnialS of the general story OF outrages
in Armenia are foolish and mutually con
Trajectory, as after the Bulgarian mas
SaCre, the evidence induces the opinion
chat they cannot be compared with the
latter as regards the number killed and
villages burned. -
In commenting ON the efforts of the
Turkish Officials TO prevent the news form
leaking out, the correspondent says:
Letters are being ruthlcssly opened and
nobody dares to aludc to the outrages in
more than general terms Newspapers
here are forbidden to mention them
except as they receive official comumnica-
tons. They are even forbidden TO use the
word Armenia "
The correspondent ascribes the difficulty
of bertoring the condition of the Armeu-
ians since 1878 to the fact that England
alone directed the Portes attention 10 the
abuses in Asia Minor and the obligations
of the Berlin treaty. He finds in Con
Stantinople belief that England is in
sympathy with the Armenian reyolu-
tionary movements.
Affairs in Armenia have grown worse
he says, since the system of appointing
local governors was abandoned. All Off
cials are now appointed in Constantinoplc
anu they often obtain their positions nv
corrupt intrigue These mon control
everything and prevent the news Of their
conduct from reaching the Sultan.
Armnians are strongly convinced that il
tIc Sultan knew all he would redress
their wrongs.
The Kurds have become more aggrcs sivc
in recent years. They profess 10 act i'm
accord with the wishes of the poortc, and
are almost as savage as the Indians.

THREE IMPORTANT CASES
Decided Against the city of Parksrsburg
Yesterday.
..--s-f q. "a. Urr,ers-

Special 10 the RsnsEs--
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, November
15.-Judge Foreman OF the Circuit Court
to-day rendered the following decisions
in cases in which the city is interested
and one Of which has been pending
since 1889:
The State OF West Virginia at the re-
lation OF the city of Parkersburg, versus
). l.. Gould, executor of the estate
of Lavinia A. Logan, deceased.
The suit was brought Tor
the purpose Of collecting the tax or two
per cent, known as the collateral IT
heritance tax, on the property devised
by the will Of the deceased to other per-
sons than lineal ancestors or descedents,
the tax TO be collected in the same man
ner as collected by the State. A declara-
ton was fled by City Solicitor Lam
and demurrer was hled Oy
w. n. Miller, attorney for the executor,
on the ground that the city charter ola
not authorize the city TO impose such
tax. Judge Boreman sustained the de
murrer, holding that the legislature had
not conferred such power on the Guy.
The City versus the Western Union
Telegraph Company has oeen penulnB
since 1859. That year D. r. Cook,
agent OF the defendant company, was
fined $50 and costs before the City Re-
corder for falling to make returns on
telegraphic messages that had been
sent TO or received from any
points within the State. This case was
appealed TO the Circuit Court. Judge
Foreman holds that the Legislature had
not authorized the city TO levy taxes on
the receipts and business Of the defend
ant company and the proceedings
against Cook were quashe1. This de-
ctsioa also covers a similar action taken
at the same time against Messrs. Cover
aud Beckwith, local agents Of the BaItl'
more and Ohio and Adams Express COM
panles.
