CHESTER, Aug. 7.--The town hall was
packed with people yesterday, tho au-
dence including numbers OF Americans,
In anticipation OF hearing the long'looked-
for speech Of Mr.. Gladstons upon the Ar
menian question.
The audience arose with voclfcrous cheer
ing when MIR. and Mrs. Gladstone, Duke
=. Westminster, the bishop OF Chester and
the mayor of Chester entered the hall.
The visitors were conducted TO seats on
tho platform, and the cheering did not
gop until the Duke OF Westminster, the
chairman Of the meeting. arose to speak.
The duke, after a few remarks, read u
letter from the Marquis OF Salisbury, notl-
fying the duke that the sum OF flOOo,
which had been subscribed for the relief
of the Armenians had been forwarded TO
the British ambassador at Constantinople,
who had been given full discretion as to
the manner ia which the money was To be
distributed.
After the usual prcliminaries Of such
meeting had been concluded, MIR Gladstone
arose amid an outburst Of enthusiastic ap'
plause and, addressing the audience, said
that the Armenian question was not a
party matter or "a religions affair Con
tinuing, the great statesman said that the
present situation in Armenia resulted
from intolerably bad goyernment-per
haps the worst on the face of the earth
Mr.. Gladstone then iead a resolution to
this effect:
This meeting expresses its conviction tina
her maiesty's government will have the cor
dial support Of the entire nation, without dis
tinotion OF party, in any measures 1t ma,
adopt, in order to secure for the Armenian
such reforms in the administration In TN
province as may provide effective guarantee
for the safety OF life, honor, religion and prop
erty. and that no reforms can be effected with
out the continuous control Of the European
powers.
Mr.. Gladstone said that the resolution
was moderate one, and expressed no
only his own sentiments, but those OF thei
| transatlantic brethren. who felt even NOR

Credible American Testimony.

The inquiry, he continued, had verified
all the sickening details, not only OF Flu
ropean, but of American testimony, which
was doubly entitled TO crcdence, as Amer
lea particularly had no interest in the
Lcvant. This testimony, said Mr.. Glad
stone, summed up into four words, was
"plunder, murder, rape, torture" But,
added Mr.. Gladstone, plunder and murder
were the comparatively mild side OF the
ravisher and torturcr.
This is not the work of the dangerous
classes" continued Mr.. Gladstone, but OF
the government Of Constantinople and its
agents, and there is not one OF their do
ings for which the government is not re-
sponsible The Kurds, troops, police and
tax collectors entered into deadly competi-
ton as 10 which should prove the most
adept in this horrible, Internal work.
'But guiltier than they are the higher

true that the acts Of the Turks were re
prisals upon the Armenians for rebelling.
On the contrary, the Turkish government
disarmed the Ariuenians and then turned
out upon them the barbarians and villains
of the sultan's cavalry. Ii there were the
slightest foundations for hope OF better
government, the Constantinople author
ities would be eager to discover and punish
the perpetrators OF these outrages; but tho
government only met the allegations made
against it with denial and falsehood-
weapons familiar to the Turks.
The treaty Of 1873 bound the sultan tC

power TO redress wrongs He has made
three propositions that our demands b
moderated, but we must not accept Turk
ish promises. We must not fear the wore

In conclusion, Mr.. Gladstone said: I'VE

We must interpose to demand no mor

much as isNneccssary, and demand tina
this be accomplished, whether 1t Is me
with resistance or not.
The resolution read by Mr.. Gladston
was adopted.

MILLIONS IN MINERAL
Figures Which Show What This COun-
try Is Producing.
LAST YEARS BIG TOTAL
A Careful Estimate of the Output
of Metals I'm 1S94-The Loss
in Silver and the
Gain I'm Gold.

The advance sheets Of the statistical
supplement of the Engineering and
Mining Journal show that the total
value Of the mineral products Of the
country was $6I5,SS7.1OS in 1898, and
$553,352,99 in 1894; showing a decrease
in values mot quantities. last year of
$62. 5S4112, of 10 per cent
To arrive at the net value Of the
mineral and metal production in each
year. deduction must be made from
the total for that Of substances the
value of which has necessarily been
duplicated in the tables. Such, for in
stance, are the anthony ore used in
making the metal; the bauXite used in
making alum and aluminium; the coal
chiefly slack-used in making coke;
the copper used in making sulphate;
most Of the lead used in making white
lead; the manganese ore used in max
ing spiegeleisen and ferrOmanSanese,
which are included in pig iron, zinc
used in making zinc oxide, etc, etc.
A careful estimate of the proper
amount of these deductions gives $l3,-
100000 in 1894. and $lj,OOOOOO in 1898,
which would leave the net total value
of our mineral production in 1898
equivalent to $60O.SS7.10S; and in 1894
equivalent to $40, 352.996
the two years, the quantities of the
several articles produced should be eX-
amined. 1t is impossible, Of course,
to give any total in quantities when
so many materials and different units
of measure are taken into considera-
ton. The only total that can be given
is that of values and the decrease in
this amount is in most cases very
much greater than the falling off in
actual quantities produced. The year
1894 will be long remembered as one
of low prices, and in almost every in
dustry values were brought down to a
point lower than had ever been befdye
known. 1t was repetition of the eX-
peTience Of former panic periods, only
intensified in our own case by the gen.
eral distrust provoked by the condition
of the currency. II seems to be ,an I'M
aVoidable result Of the ncc1tration
of capital and the continued improve
ment in processes which characterize
the present age, that production should
increase in a greater ratio than con-
sumption, and that at greater or less
intervals there should be a period
when a halt must be called until the
demand can again increase to the
level of the supply: and 1894 being one
of those periods. the producers suffered
accordingly.
1t is, however, a proof &C RE compar-
atively small amour. ~ the excess in

The Advocates of Tail Chopping.

The advocates of this fashion of tall
chopping advance apologies for its
adoption which were never dreamed or
by those who resorted TO IL from its
commencement until its discontinuance
40 years ago; and it is needless TO say
that these apologies have no more
foundation than had nicking and ear
cropping.
In the seventeenth century docking
was practiced under the mistaken no
ton that the back was strengthened
thereby. We do not hear this errone-
Gus argument now; fifty years ago it
was scarcely mentioned, but instead it
was said that the unmutilated tail
heated the horse while at work, that 1t
was apt to soil the rider in dirty
weather, and that the horse. being do
mesticated and housed, there was no
need for long tail to keep off the flies.
But. surely, it would have been sufii-
cient 10 shorten the hair of the tail as
high as the dock to meet these excuses.
When this is done the tail is as short
as any one could reasonably desire. and
the animal is not permanently dam
aged, for the hair Will grow there
acalA. And this remark is true for all
Time.
Now one excuse is that it is danger
Gus to employ horses with unlocked
tails, as the reins are liable to get un-
der them and cause kicking and run
ming away. But. surely. this would
have happened during the 40 years
when docking was not in fashion, and
vet there is no mention of it. The fact
is. that the accident is much more like
" to happen with horses whose tails
have been tempered with, from remem-
brance of the torture they had under
gone.
And il may be pointed out that I'm
other countries where horses are as eX-
tensively employed as in the United
Kingdom, and where docking is not
practced-is even detested-no COM
plant is made as to the danger of UNI
mutilated tails Such plea for dock
ing would lead TO the inference that
our horsemen are less competent than
those of these countries, or than their
forefathers were in managing horses
