- - VIEWS OF OU1H WAITE.
This Country Can be Made Ready for De-
 fence In War.


 Washington, Nov. 27-"This country can be made ready for a successful de- fence in case of war by the year 1900," was the statement made by Hon. J. H. Outhwaite, a member of the board of ordnance and Notifications, after tour in the east where the work of construct ing and assembling ordnance is con- ducted That is a guess at this time" continued MT. Outhwaite, flor the date obtained by the board has not yet been reduced. But I believe it is not far out of the way. Working the usual shifts, the plants can turn out guns enough to meetour plans for defences Joy 1900" 1900"
 If pushed by the stress of necessity, how soon could the country, with it's present facilities only, be put in a good position for defence was asked.
 within two and a half years"
 How many plants are at work now turning out guns and gun material?"
 'The steel works at Middale and Beth- lehem, Pa; the Watertown Mass; and Waterville, N. T., arsenals. Besides these, which are in large and successful operation" said Mir. Outhwaite, there is a concern at Cleveland which is just entering upon contract for turning out gun carriages"
 Could not the continuation of the carriages be expediated?' was asked, '1by engaging other concerns as the one in Cleveland, and which are numerous in the Ohio valley particularly
 The trouble about that is,'' answered MT. Outhwaite, that an entirely new outfit of machinery would be required to do that class of work, and as the gov ernmen't is about the only customer that can be expected to enter the field, nearly most manufacturers hesitate to incur the expense incident to the busi- ness. Of course, if a war were to break out, and the government offered at- tractive terms to manufacturers, there would be no lack of offers. However, the board is satisfied that existing con- ditions provide all that is necessary to carry out the present plans of de- fences"

THANKSGITING DAY.

Proclamation by Governor Coftin-Has Been n Year of Reviving Hope and Pros- pects-Many Causes for Thanksgiving.
 Hartford, Nov. Ex-Governor Coffin this afternoon issued his Thanksgiving proclamation as follows:
 STATIE OF CONNECTICUT.
 A Proclamation by the Governor. Conforming to long established, widely honored and in every way ex- cellent usage, and in concurrence with the proclamation of the president, I hereby designate Thursday, the twenty eighth day of November, as day of Thanksgiving.
 The year now drawing to a close has been one of reviving hope and im- proving prospects in both temporal and moral affairs. A better understanding between labor and capital, employed and employers, has been reached, and the hitherto more or less prevalent dis cord between great sections of oup country has, in important and signiff- cant respects, as we may we'll hope and pray, vanished forever.
 The earth has yielded for our health and comfort more abundantly than for many years. In the apparent approach of brighter days, let Us not forget to whom we owe all our real joys, or neglect to extend that thoughtful solic- itude and practical helpfulness to the needy and unfortunate which, are credit able to our human nature and certain to win the approval of Him in whose hands are all the issues of life.
 (Seal) Givem under my hand and seal of the state, at the capitol in Hart ford, this fifteenth day of November, In the year old our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five, and of the Independence of the United States, the one hundred and twentieth.
 (Signed.) o. VINCENT COFFIN.
 By his excellency,
 WILLIAM c. MONEY,
 Secretary of State.

Russian as under the Turk. Armenians prefer the slavery of the present rule to that slavery of which they now know nothing, Under Russia, of course, there would be no massacres, as Russia is Christian. but there are other methods of oppression more terrible to an Arme- nian than the mere killing of the body. At all events, under Turkey the relig ious practices of Armenians are suffer ed.
 "A change of sultans would do no good. Turkey is the same under any ruler, and has been so for centuries, A different ruler would effect nothing, What is wanted is a change of practice, change in the management of the enl- pire. The sultan should not be invested with the dual power of head of the church and head of the empire. He should be king, but not priest. A sep arate person should be at the head of the church and deal with all religious questions This would in large meas ure assist towards the solution of vex- ed question.
 Lord Salisbury made a powerful speech in the house of lords in favor of the Armenian cause, and naturally the Christian world waited to see him put his words into effect But what has England done? Besides making a dis- play of diplomacy, which instead of eliminating in the expected victorious finish had a lamentable and feeble end, she had been defeated by the sultan and yet she store not. It is impossible to understand her unless one ascribes her conduct to a desire to checllmate Russia and not to assist Armenia in her trouble. This Is doubtless the doubtless the solution of her policy of words without action She is afaraid Russia will get some advantage which she will not share. Instead of a Chris tban people rising up in its might and saying that massacres and outrages on another Christian people shall cease, she, after feeble manifestation of op- position, silently acquieces in a con- t1nuation of the terrible scenes.
 Tn the trade of 1S3s which the re- cent reform circular taoitly admits has never been enforced, by ordering its enforcement now, is paragraph which says that when people are contented and happy and when justice is among them they should be faithful to their ruler and render him all obedience, but when the same people are denied jus tice and are oppressed, it is not only to be expected that they will take arms against their oppressors, but such an act is justifiable. Temperate Armen- ians do not justify their countrymen in taking up arms, but they acknowledge that terrible provocation has been given them, and refer to the passage of the trade of 1899 as pleading something in attenuation of the act. The same Armenians also plead that because a few hundred hot-heads have arisen in opposition to the powers of authority thousands of their countrymen ought not to be ruthlessly slaughtered and practically a war of extermination car- rted on.

THEY ARE RE4DY TO FIGHT.
Information of sensational Character
 From Venezuela.

From Venezuela.
 Washington, Nov. 27.-Information of a somewhat sensational character with respect to the boundary dispute be- tween Venezuela and Great Britain has leaked out here to-day. A letter writ ten by a member Of President Crespo's s cabinet to a friend in this country discloses the fact that President Cras- pos absence from the seat of govern ment, which has attracted some atten- tion, had a purpose in view. He has been cautiously sounding the governors of the different provinces of the repub- lie as to the forces which they can put into the field in case of war.
 Assurances, it is said, were given that a well equipped army of 100000 men could be mobolized in case the presi- dent should determine upon a move ment against the British Guiana set tiers on what is claimed to be Venezu- elan territory, with view of driving them back to the boundary which Ven ezuela asserts to be hers, namely, back of the Essiquibo river. While only a part of this force would be necessary for the purpose, the 100000 men Presi- dent Crespo believes would be necessary to meet the counter attack which Brit ish Guiana, with the aid of Great Brit ain, would make.
 A member of congress from the northwest, who arrived here to-day, brings applications from five ex-mili- tary men of prominent in his state, for commissions in the Venezuelan army in the event of hostilities be- tween that country and Great Britain, and it is asserted that many ex-Confed- crates stand ready to volunteer for service in the Venezuelan army if war should break out.

Lnsses Were Trem mendnns.

Toledo, Nov. 27.-The hurricane of Monday night left a path of wreckage in the fields miles in length. Dispatch es indicate tremendous losses every where. A conservative estimate places the number of dericks down in Ohio at 5000 and in Indiana 2.5OO. Experts who have figured on the loss say it will be anywhere from half a million to a million and a half dollars. The Stand ard Oil company had 1,5OO rigs blown down, and the Ohio Oil company near lV as many.

stock market had few feeble rallies to-
day after an early selling movement in

engsk ement of gold for export had ex-

given to sugar and Chicago gas
by sMr. Ksene. while the first
effect Of President Cleveland's message

that II Congress does not give some
relief within the next ten d days that such
an Issue up to the limit of 800, 600, 600
will be made with no upset
