VIII Reach 800.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 6-At a mass
meeting of the Armenians of Boston and
vicinity. this afternoon, the topic of gen.
eral discussion was the recent atrocities in
Constantinople and the delay of the Eu-
ropean powers in demanding redress OF
the Turkish government for those which
occurred a year ago. Resolutions were
passed by the meeting expressing sympa-
thy for the compatriots now suffering in
Turkish dungeons. and advocating revolu-
tionary measures as the only way that the
Armenian nation can be saved from ex-
termination. The resolutions say, in part:
Whereas, The Turkish government
seems to have determined to solve the
Armenian question by force of arms; and,
Whereas. The European powers have not
been determined enough in their e1orts to
make the Porte carry out the proposed re-
forms in Armenia; therefore, -
Resolved, That we express our sympa-
thy with the revolutionary measure, and
consider the atrocities in Constantinople
as a signal for the general uprising
throughout the Turkish Empire. and, al
though deaths and t0rtlres in prison that
have been mercilessly inflicted on our pa
triots caused distress, vet we advocate
revolutionary measures in The belief that
an honorable death under such conditions
Is preferable to ignominous annihilation.

Levi Jones, Walking from Denver to
Washington for 100000.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 6.--An aged hobo"
came into Albany tonight from over the
Schenectady turnpike and journeyed on to
find a place in the fields beyond TO camp.
His gray hair hung down over his shoul-
ders. but he held himself erect to the full
stature of six feet, and, though he walked
slowly. he steadily covered ground. He
says his name is Levi Jones, and that he
started last March from Denver. Col. to
walk to New York, and go thence to
Washington any way ne pleased so long
as he gets there by the time Congress
convones- It is for a ten-thousand-dollar
wager, and he says that when the bet
was made he weighed three hundred
pounds. BY the terms of the wager, he
says, he is to have no money, nor is he
to sleep under roof until New York Is
reached. Accordingly. he carries a roll OF
old quilts and blankets under his left arm
and a gunny sack with cooking utensils
on his back, while in his hand he carries
an old tin can over half full of tea leaves
that had been used several times. That
he did not ask for money to help him
along. and rather sought to conceal than
reveal his Identity, lends color to his story.
Jones says that he twice tramped over
the mountains TO the city of Mexico. and
has camped all over the Rockies as a min
ing prospector. he has reduced his weight
TO about $50 pounds.

AN AUDAcIOUS CLAIM.
English Contractors Want Big Money
from Colombia.

NEW YORK, Oct. ga dispatch to
LOCAL paper from Panama says: The auda-
cious claim against the Colombian govern
ment Of the English railway contractors
continues to be the all-absorbing topic of
discussion in the press and Of excitement
among all classes. The contract for build
ing the Santander railway was similar to
that for building the Antioquia railway.
The same contractors rejected 1t suddenly
long time ago, alleging, through their
legal agent. Spencer, that, not having the
necessary funds and being unable to raise
loan, they were incapable of fulfilling
their obligation. The government agreed TO
pay them a small amount, which they had
spent in preliminary work In November.
1S93 Spencer was authorized to settle all
the claims against the government by the
contractors for $4,000. Now the sum
claimed is $4,000. equivalent to about
100000 pesos in silver currency.

was obliged, by orders of his government,
