The 4th of March, 1893 is memorable
day to Grover Cleveland, because he
was inaugurated President of the

Joseph Ross died yesterday in

He is best known as the uncle Of
Charlie Ross, who was kidnapped
in 1874, and for whom he was

Armenian Missionary.

Boston, Dec 6.-Minister Ter>
rell. according to cablegrams
from Constan tinopie, published a
week ago, urged the withdrawal
of missionaries OF tue American
board from the interior Of Tur-
key to- the seaports. The follow
ing letter was received this morn
ing from q missionary Of the
board explanatory OF the sitila-
tion fron the missionary polut Of
view:
Friends, neighbors and others
are always urSng the aOandon-
ment Of these interior posts, but
the ladies feel that this is uoU to
be thought Of. Our brethren,
farther inland. are standing firm;
why should not we? The Gov
ernment authorities give every
assurance that whatever hap
pens, the Foreigners will be pro
tected. We believe III showing
our confidence in these as
SuranceS.
Should we run away, first the
very valuable properly Of our
boards would be looted; second,
our schools would oe dispersed
and the work broken mp that it
has taken SO much money, pray
er and toll during 50 many years
to build into its present fair pro-
portions; third, the native Chriss
tians would be plunged into still
deeper distress aud terror by
the flight OF those TO whom they
naturally look for help, comfort
and protection; by the very
growth and success Of Gods
work here he has greatly in
creased our responsibility in this
matter; fourth, our presence
serves to restrain the bioodthira-
ty impulses OF even the most fa~
naJical Moslems; while we are
here they don't dare to act as
they otherwise would, nor 90
their long headed leaders.
This last reason alone would
decide US TO stay even to the last
degree Of risk to ourselves. Ii
we fall martyrs to our desire to
prevent horrible massacres, so
be it. God has plenty OF work
ers to take our places; never
we're our schools in more
hopeful condition than now. We
think it best to continue on
quietly with our work; for one
thing it has pacifying effect on
The disturbed minds around us.
Indeed, there is nothing for US to
do, since to send our pupils home
would be to expose them to al
most certain death.

Disputing senator Quay's Figures.

HARRISBURG, July IA conference Of
anti-Quay people was he.dlast night at the
executive mansion TO discuss the situa-
ton. Those present were Charles Emory
Smith, Charles E, Voorhees,, Chris L. Ma
gee and Governor Hastings. At the close
of the meeting Mr.. Magee gave out the
following statement; Colonel Quay
claims that out of 1856 delegates already
elected he has 1O1, leaving 30 for Governor
Hastings and Chairman Gilkeson. The
truth is that out of 1876 delegates already
elected 90 are committed to Colonel Gill
keson. Colonel Quay also claims that his
total vote in the convention will be 1874,
and that of his opponent 1O5, Allegheny
has already elected 23 delegates for Gilke-
son. The stoutest Quay adherents con-
cede Gilkeson 65 delegatesin Philadelphia;
that is a total of SS in those two counties
alone. The chances are that Colonel Quay
has given about the figures of Colonel Gill
keson's majority over him"

necessary to save his life from the people
long enough for him to be tried on the
criminal charges pending against him.

of returning to Salvador. He adds that if
Ezeta attempts to leave port in a vessel of

SOUTH AMERICAS TURMOIL.


and Ecuador.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-South American
diplomats in Washington are much in
terested in the press reports thrit Bolivia
has presented an ultimatum to Peru,
which the latter has rejected, and that
Bolivia and Ecuador have formed an al
lance with the prospect Of making war on
Peru. The three countries involved are
without ministers here, as recent revolu-
tions have broken up the legations. The
representative of neighboring countries
say Peru and Bolivia are about equally
matched US far as military prowess Is con-
Cerned. Peru's former strength has dis
appeared since her war -ith g lie. The
Chileans took all the Peruvian warships,
and it is believed that one old transport is
all that remains of the Peruvian navy.
The army is said to number about 1000
men. The resources of the county were
further crippled recently by a revolution
in which the government was overthrown,
the capital sacked and hundreds Of people
killed. Since then there has been "a "%junta''
running the government until an election
could be held.
Bolivia has no navy, and her army is
said to be about the same as that of Peru.
She is entirely inland since the war with
Chile, when Chile took possession OF
those provinces which had formed Boil
Was coast lAe. OF late Bolivia has tried
to get back her coast front, and n treaty
was effected for this purpose, but it has
not been ratified by the Chilean congress,
and is not likely to be,
Ecuador is said to be in good fighting
trim, as she has just emerged from a rev
o%lution, and all her people are in arms.
But her navy is insignificant, her only
good warship having beer sold to Japan
some months ago. 1t looks, therefore, tC
those conversant with the situation that
these three crippled countries would moi
engage in a very formidable war. They
cannot fight by sea, and there are grea'
stretches of desolate and mountainous
country between them.
Chile is in no way interested in the trou
BILE. The late war appears to have estab
lished her firmly as mistress of the ives
coast of South America. She has a pow
erful fleet, ranking with some of the Eu
ropean powers, and none Of the neighbor
ing republics seem willing to oppose he.
