INDIGNATION IN LONDON

LONDON, November PA meeting Of
the Anglo-Armenian Association was held
here today under the presidency Of Mr..
Francis Seymour Stevenson. NJ. p. Erie
division Of Suffolk. and chairman Of the
Angio-Armenian Association. Among those
present were Prof. J. A. Beet, DID,, and
many distinguished Enylishmen who are in
sympathy with the cause of the Armenia,
besides @. Hagopian. Petrus and Aganov,
and other natives Of Armenia.
At the opening of the meeting a telegram
received today from DR.. Calantarientz, a
Russian physician at Tihis, was read 1t

army on condition. and upon laying down
their arms the Turkish troops and Kurds
attacked and massacred men. women and
children and pillaged and burned their
homes. The number of killed must exceed

letter was also read from ]. Iskender
an Armenian merchant OF Paris and presi-
dent of the Armenian Society o. France,
IN which he stated that according to his
advices not les than 1000 Armenians were
massacrcd.
Speeches were made and resolutions
passed strongly denouncing the Earl Of
Kimberley, secretary of state for foreign
affairs, and the British government for
their apathy in the matter and for screen
ing the Turkish atrocities by Withholding
information from the press.
1t was decided to commence an agitation
on behalf of the Armenians in the House of
Commons. and to hold an indignation meet
ing. the platform of the movement being a
letter received by the association from
Canon Malcolm MacColl, who was the first
to call attention to- the Bulgarian atrccit-
les Of 1877, after having seen people i'm
paled on the hanks of the Danube
In this letter Canon MacCall says: For

ABOVE REQUIREMENTS
Bond Issue Will Place Gold Reserve at
$ll6,OOO,0O0.
The Gold to De Deposited and the
Bonds VIII he Ready
for Distribution.

The immediate effect Of the bond issue is
shown in a rapid and material increase
in the gold balance of the treasury. 1t
is now nearly $5S. 900. 600, without counting
the S. OO1 900 in gold deposited by the bond
subscribers yesterday and the gold similar
ly deposited today. These deposits at the
subtreasuries are not shown in the treas
ury statement for several days after, ac-
cording to the mailing time between the
subtreasury and Washington. When the
bond transaction is closad the gold balance
will be $4,000, 900. or s16O00,OOO above the
legal reserve for the redemption of legal
tenders, instead Ct,as at present, $jS.OOO,OOO,
or 100000 below the legal reserve. The
treasury cash balance, including all kinds
Of money, which is now $99,0OO,OO0. will
be increased to s137,0O0.OOO. minus the de-
ficiency that NAV occur in expenditures
over receipts, between now and the time
of final payment on the bonds.
According to the treasury circular inv1t-
ing proposals the successful bidders will
be required to pay ~ per cent In geld
coin, or gold certificates upon the amounts
OF their bids soon as they receive no.
tice of the acceptance of such bids and
to pay in like coin or certificates an addi-
tional 20 per cent at the expiration OF each
ten days thereafter. until the whole Is
La.d; but they may Al their option, pay
the entire amount of their bids when hotl-
fled of acceptance, or at any time Whcf
ai ir.sta .Inent is pava 'lc. The first pay
m.n,, however, Of not Isss 'han ~ per
cent must be naIe when the bidder re-
ceives notice of the acceptance OF his pro-
rts al
The bonds are deliverable as soon as the
gold Is deposited. and as the bureau of

Nothing said Here.

1t is difficult to confirm here officially the
report which comes from Panama of fresh
trouble at Bluefelds. DIR. Guzman, the
Nicaraguan minister. was automatically
silent when the subject was mentioned,
and the State Department officials assume
an air or reserve. That they are informed
upon the subject, however, cannot be
doubted, and the strongest confirmation of
the accuracy Of the report is found in the
fact that the United States steamship Co
Iumbia, which has been lying at KINGSTON
Jamaica, has gone directly to Bluefields
and Will doubtless reach that place as soon
at least as the British warship from Port
Limon. Costa Rica.
If the facts are as represented then the
situation Is undoubtedly one of great srav-
ity. The mention of the Nicaragua canal
as being the real cause Of the British ac-
ton goes to confirm the suspicion that has
long been cherished here that Great Brit
ain really cares nothing for the Mosquito
Indians themselves. but is disposed to in
sist upon its protectorate over the reserva-
ton, in order to base a claim of Jurisdiction
over that part of the old reservation
which ii has contended extended as far
south as the eastern mouth of the Nicara
qua canal.
Should this Claim be maintained 1t would
of course operate to prevent the United
states from controlling the projected Mic
aragua canal, IL, indeed, 1t should not
cause the abandonment of the project.
1t Is undoubtedly a matter of great an
noyance to the State Department that this
Bluefields subject should be reopened by
Great Britains summary action, when 1t
was supposed that the difficulties there had
been adjusted in a manner entirely salts
factory to all parties concerned. How
ever. the prompt dispatch of the Columbia
TO the scene Of threatened trouble Is an
evidence that the State Department is
not to be taken unawares by such pro-
ceedings, and she will doubtless preserve
the status quo there while negotiations are
In progress.

The Outnut of STAMINA.

The special agent Of the Post Office De-
partment who was detailed to inspect the
quality of the postage stamps furnished by
the bureau Of engraving and printing has
reported to Third Assistant Postmaster
General Kerr Craig that the quality is all
right.
Col Craig, in an interview, said that the
output of the bureau shows great i'm
provement as to color and cumming. and
now that the employees have been broken
in there will be no trouble about main
tanning the efficiency of the work. 1t is
not thought that the department will be
called upon to reject many stamps in the
future. The stamp force is now working
until midnight each night to catch up with
the demand. The shortage was caused by
the rejection Of large consignments OF
stamps. Orders on the department for
stamps amount to about 10,OOO.OO per day.
and the demand for stamped envelopes Is
especially heavy. All this Is said to indi-
cate a revival of business throughout the
country.

CIVIL SERVICE EXTENSION
A Workingman Writes to the Commission
and Asks Questions.
Tho Commission FavOrs Extension to
the LabOrers-The System In
Vogue In Some Places.

The following Communication was re-
ceived today at the civil service commits
sion. addressed to Mr.. Roosevelt, and
signed "A Workingman:"
Il hold no government position, or never
expect to, yet 1t seems strange to me and
all the other workingmen that have dis
Cussed the question with, that the poor
laboring man in the departments Is the
last to be protected by civil service 1t
does. indeed, seem strange that man
receiving $50 a month needs protection
more than a man receiving $50, who may
partly have his house and lot paid for.
The workingmen are not interviewed by
newspaper reporters like brokers and
merchants; they are afraid to write ar
ticles for the papers on account Of poor
grammar and spelling. They have no one
to plead their cause; there is one place,
however, they have their innings, and that
is at the ballot box, and when they make
a charge all calculat tions are capsiZed, and
they don't forget their enemies.
Now, in all our labor unions the head
buglers are in favor Of the civil service,
and the wife of one of our leaders held a
high-salaried position In the Interior De-
partment until a short time ago. While
this Is the case, all the rank and file are
against 1t. Why? Simply because the poor
man always gets The small end Of the
stick; the 800 and the $50 man Is pro-
tected. while the poor sos a month InaI Is
neglected and left to be kicked into the
street at will. There Is one place, how
ever, thank God, that he always comes up
smiling, and that Is at the ballot box. And
If ever one Of the great parties indorses
civil service and the other condemns 1t,
the dlnner-pail brigade will be heard FROM"
Favored by the Commission.
The civil service commission is strongly
in favor of taking the appointments of
laborers out Of politics and Of giving the
workmen the full benefits Of civil service
proteo ton. In a recent Congress the House
committee on the reform Of the civil serv-
ice reported that there were 1900 places
filled by laborers under the government
which might be covered by the civil serv-
ice law. The committee recommended that
this be done. A system of registration OF
laborers Is in vogue at Boston and Brook
lyn, and operates satisfactorily. When a
labOrer seeks employment he applies to the
board of examiners. There he registers his
name, age weight, physical status, etc.
When a vacancy occurs 1t is filled by taxi
ing the first eligible on the list. No name
can be skipped without a reason. which
must he valid one; is stated by the ex-
aminer. and placed opposite the name of
tha man so skipped.
