 People Dying Of Starvation in Armenia.
 London, Nov, 1S.-The representative in Constantinople of the United Press telegraphs under yesterdays date that dispatches from Sivas dated November .15 have been received there stating that the massacres of the Marsovan and Amasia districts were renewed that day, The correspondent also states that number of persons were killed at Sivas on November 16.
 United States Minister Terrell re- .oeiyed a dispatch from Aleppo on the l6th inst, saying that massacre had occurred at Alntab, sixty miles north- northeast of Aleppo, The governor of Aleppo was immediately instructed by wire to strenuously enforce the measures for the protection of the American residents in his Jurisdiction.
 Minister Terrell has obtained from the porte an order for a guard of troops to protect the American missionaries who, with their families, are about to proceed to Van from Bitlis,
 The porte is endeavoring to raise $5,- OOO,OoO for the purpose of assisting the mobilization of troops, and offers to prolong the concession of the tobacco reggie in exchange for loan of that sum.
 During the last two weeks a tremen- dous pressure has been exercised by the porte upon the Armenian patriarch to get him to send a circular note to all the Armenians in Asia Minor, ex- horting them to keep quiet and lend themselves to no promoters of distur- bances.
 To-day the Pal Mall Gazette asserts that it has diplomatic authority for the statement that the powers have no intention of immediately making a joint naval demonstration against the porte. Each fleet will in the meantime act under independent instructions.
 When Sir Philip Currie, the British ambassador. returns to Constantinople meeting of the ambassadors will be held to consider whether the oircum- stances demand further action in re- gard to Armenia.
 The Anglo-Armenian association has received the following telegram from Constantnople:
 "Massacres are proceeding almost ev- erywhere in Asia Minor. Over 100000 persons are dying from starvation in Armenia For Gods sake urge the government to put stop to the most awful event of modern times. The porte is powerless, as the telegraph lines are controlled by the palace off cers, who have melted these massa- cres,''
 Chicago, Nov 1S.-President Rogers of the Northwestern university presid- ed at large meeting which was held in the First Congregational church of Evanston yesterday to voice public sen timent in regard to the massacres in Armenia
 A number of addresses were made, the most notable being that of Miss Frances E. Willard, who surprised the audience by the vigor of her utterances.
 The secretary was instructed to ac- quaint Secretary Olney at Washington with the sentiment of the meeting.
 An address was adopted to be for warded to Minister Terrell urging wig ilance and activity.

Steamship Manitnba Ashore.

Point Pleasant, N. J.. Nov. 1S.-The patrol of Long Beach and Ship Bot tom stations at o'clock this morning discovered a large steamship ashore midway between the life saving sta- tions. Both surfmen fired their distress signals and ran to their stations and notified their keepers. They had two miles each to travel.
 Keeper Sprague of Long Beach and Keeper Truex of Ship Bottom each manned his surf boats and boarded the vessel at o'clock. It proved to be the Norton liner Manitoba. The sea was very smooth this morning and those on board were as comfortable as if in port No danger whatever is ap- prehended.
 A telegram was received at the off, flee of the Norton Line Steamship company, 90 Wall street, this morning, from Captain Millington of the steam ship Manitoba, stating that the Mani toba was hard aground off the New Jersey coast, near Beach Haven.
 The Manitoba at the time of the &C., cident was bound from Rio Janiero, Brazil, with an assorted cargo, most of which was coffee. She was due in this port yesterday, but it was thought that she had been delayed by storms off Hatteras or other parts of the coast.
 The Manitoba Is used chiefly for carrying freight She also carries a few passengers, but many of her trips are made without a person on board, aside from the officers and crew. The ships tonnage Is 9,213. She is 375 feet long, and was built at West Hartlepool in 1887. She Is owned by a London firm. She is a steel twin screw vessel and carries crew of twenty two men.
 The Manitoba left Rio on October 26. She made several stops on her trip north.
 Asbury Park, Nov. 1S.-The Merritt Wrecking company. enga ged in trying to float the standed steamship Irra- waddy, received word this morning that a vessel loaded with coffee, and l from Rio Janiero, ran ashore last night | at Beach Haven on the New Jersey l coast One of the tugs Of the Mer- | ritt Wrecking company was at once | despatched to Beach Haven to render | assistance.

pERJURr FOE HoLMEs.

A Woman Festifles ! hat She Was Bribed Co
 Swear Ealsely-His Lawyer is Aceused-
 Argument on the Motion for a New irial'
 Philadelphia. Nov. 1S,-The argument for a new trial in the case of the con vioted murderer Holmes was heard this morning in the criminal court before Judge Arnold, who tried the case, Judge Wilson and Judge Thayer, the president judge of the court,
 Like all the phases of this singular case. this ordinarily routine procedure furnished @ sensation. Holmes was brought from prison to court. The weeks of confinement since his conyic- tion has added to the cancellation that was so marked when he was in court before He has also lost the easy look of confidence that he wore during his trial, and although he was composed his anxiety was plainly visible.
 The sensation was furnished by MT. Shoemaker, one of Holmes counsel. MT, Shoemaker presented an affidavit from a witness purporting to be of the name of Blanche Hannigan. In the affidavit the witness swore that she kept cigar store on Callowhill street, near the house where Piet2el was killed and that she knew the dead man.
 He told her, she said, that he intended to commit suicide. District Attorney Graham asked that the witness be call ed to the stand, and MT, Shoemaker re- piled that he did not know where she was, Then MT. Graham called pri- vate detective of the name of Swetzler to the stand,
 The detective testified that Shoemak- CT weeks ago had written out the afli- davit and given him S20 to pay some one to swear to it.
 Detective Geyer was called and he testified that Swetzler had shown him the affidavit before it was signed, A woman was called to the stand who said she was Blanche Hannigan, who signed the affidavit.
 She swore that she knew nothing about the statements in the affidavit. Her name, instead of being Hannigan, she said, was Rhea, and she is the ma tron in the Fourth police district.
 It was at the suggestion of Detective Geyer that she went with Swetzler to Shoemaker and impersonated Blanche Hannigan. Shoemaker gave her $20 and took her before notary public and she swore to the statement.
 This testimony, that seemed to point to perjured affidavit, surprised the court, and when Shoemaker attempted to make a statement Judge Thayer sug- gested to him that his greatest safety lay in silence.
 MT. Rotan, Holmes other attorney, stated to the court that he knew noth- ing of the affidavit, and then he began the argument for a new trial. The main points of the reasons for asking for a new trial were given in these dispatches last week, when the application for new trial was filed The principal allegations for asking for the trial are that the district attor- ney influenced the jury in introducing evidence showing that the children were killed by Holmes; that the defense was not ready to proceed, and that the court erred on a number of points in the trial.

on Thursday night think that the work
should be paid for by a tax on land values,
excluding personal property and buildings

that the man whose property Is in stocks

should pay nothing for the inestimable BEN

1t was an insult to the intelligence and
morality Of a much abused race to single
Taylor out as representative of 1t and in
stall him in an Office of responsibility. 1t is
an insult to the better element in American
citizenship, of all races, colors and partisan
persuasions, to keep him where he is, after
his character has been proclaimed and his
disreputable dealings exposed. No one eX
cept it's authors and the President himself
have seen the official presentment made by
the Civil Service Commission in Taylor'S
case; but there is not a citizen of the Dis
trict of Columbia who has not heard all
the testimony upon which the presentment
is founded, If he has taken the trouble to
inquire. 1t has been argued in defense of
Taylor's appointment that 1T was made in
ignorance of his antecedents and on the
recommendation of men whom the PreSi
dent believed incapable of deliberately de-
ceiving him. In spite of all that, it was a
spoils transaction pure and simple for it
was the use of an Office belonging to all the
United States in payment of a debt for
services rendered to one political party.
But even those who defend the appoint
ment on the plea of the Presidents ignor-
ance have no such excuse to offer for the
retention of so notorious a fellow in office
any longer.

much larger than any one unacquainted

expected it to be. When 1t is remembered
that a large proportion of the Government
