SIR PHILLIP cuRRiE.

His Energetic Action Causes Coaster
 nation In the Turkish Government.
 LONDON, Nov. 26.-A dispatch from Constantinople says that the energetic action of Sir Phillip Currio, the British ambassador to Turkey, has caused consternation among the members of the Turkish government. Everything has been done to keep secret the facts of the outrages. Information from vari- ous sources tend to prove that the Sassun affair was the most serious. AAnother dispatch says that i'll response Sv3 the protest made by Sir Philip Currie, British ambassador to Turkey, the porte has unreservedly withdrawn the charge against MT. Hallward, the British con- sul 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 Arme- nian lnassacres and his report to the British ambassador. The governor of Bitlis, who is seriously involved in the outrage made the charge, it is said, for the purpose of revenge.
 The sultan has decided to send com mittee composed of three members of his military household and one civilian to Sassun for the purpose of making an impartial investigation into the out rages on .Armenians.
 The latest news is to the effect that many of the Armenians who were sup posed to have been killed fled from the soldiery and are now returning.

CHARLES W. BUTTON.
THE VENERABLE EDITOR CARRIED
OFF BY PNEUMONIA.
HE Services NJ Citizen, Journalist, and
Law Mai<er-A Churchman Of Great
lnfiueuce--His Latter Days,

LYNCHBURG. VA. December D.
Special.)--A telegram was received to-
day announcing the death Of Mr. Charles
". Button at his home, In Appomattox
county, early this morning. His death
had been expected for some days, as he
had been in very critical condition from
a severe attack OF pneumonia All the
family were present.
Mr. Button was born In Jefferson county
over seventy-two years ago, and for
number OF years OF his life had been
prominently connected with the Church
and with the history OF the State. and OF
the city of Lynchburg. For a long time
he was engaged In business at Harper's
Ferry, and at one time was postmaster
at that place. Later In life he removed
with his family to Liberty, now Bedford
City, and was the editor of the Bedford
Sentinel.
EDITOR AND LEGISLATOR.
When this paper changed hands he
made Lynchburg his home, having pur-
chased the Virginian from Peters &
Shields. who had operated 1t up TO that
time. Prior to his removal TO Bedford he
had been a member of the state legislature
for several years. in which body he was
ever regarded as a man of undoubted
ability. As the editor OF the Virginian
Mr.. Button achieved distinction second
TO none in the State, and at one time was
considered the ablest writer in the Old
| Dominion.
CITIZEN AND CHURCHMAN.
In this city Mr.. Button had always
been associated with nearly every enter
| prise and Advancement. With his pen
| he sought during the war and after
ward, in every way. TO further the good
| OF his city and his country. AS a
| member OF the Methodist Church, he was
strictly religious, and. as one prominent
| minister remarked this morning, 1t was
| seldom that SO much enthusiasm and
| interest was displayed I'm religion by a
| layman, or that so much influence was
| welded for good by a member Of the
| Church, az always signallzel Mr.. Button S
work as Christian.
| NOT CONFIRMED.
| Under Cleveland's Administration he
| was appointed postmaster. He served
| for a short time, but, owing to the oppo-
sition in the United States Senate, chiefly
| through Mahone, 1t was said, his appoint
ment was not confirmed. and Mr.. 7. d.
| Jennings was appointed in his stead
After that Mr.. Button returned to his
editorial labors. but in a few years there
| after the Virglnian was sold.
The paper from that time steadily de-
| clined in popularity, until finally II lost
its personality and was merged into tbs
| News.
| RETIRED.
After the sale OF his paper Mr.. Button
| was not particularly identified with any
| business. lie recently moved to his plan
tation. near Walkers Ford. Va, ant
for several months has made that his
| home. Living, however, only few miles
| from this city, his familiar parsonage was
| often seen on the streets. Mr.. Button
| married early in life Miss Zollickoifer
| of Maryland. and this lady ard four chill
| dren now survive him.
