The American Society Will Take
Charge of Relief in
Turkey.
Hundreds of Thousands Destitute
and Millions in Money
Needed.
Miss Barton Will Have Personal
Charge of the Work Of
Distribution.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-The Ameri.
can Red Cross society has decided to
accept the duty Of distributing the re-
lief funds for the Armenian sufferers
and has issued the following statement:
Owing to the unanimous n urgent
appeals from the friends of humanity,
REPRESENTING nearly all of the people OF
this country, the American National
Red Cross society has decided that 1t
must accept the sacred trust OF en-
deavoring to relieve starving Armenians
in Asia Minor. According to conserva-
tive estimates there are $50, 900 utterly
destitute people in that country who
will have to be assisted until the next
harvest. Fully realizing the difficulties
and dangers to be met the Red Cross
will start for Turkey as soon as sufh-
Gent funds are placed at its disposal, or
guaranteed, to insure success. Funds
may be sent to Miss Clara Barton,
president and treasurer of the American
National Red Cross society. Washing.
ton.
Millions Of Dollars Are Neede
The information reaching the society
through mission boards and Other
sources in Turkey, places the number OF
destitute between $50, 600 and 500, 600
mostly women and children. Such
widespread want, Miss Barton says, Cal
be met only by relief funds running
into the millions. 1t is estimated tina
the cost of relief per capita will b'
much heavier than in the case of thu
Johnstown and Sea Island sufferers
owing to the inaccessibility Of tn
sufferers. The Red Cross party, in
GLIDING Miss Barton, will leave imme
diately after being assured of a sufhcien
sum to carry forward the work. TIL
start must be made at an early day, a
it will take five week to get to the dis
tressed district, and the demands Of tn
suffering people are urgent.

Interior, Chicago, II: There is

Interior, Chicago, II: There Is a
painful mystery hanging over the d.
plomacy relating to the Sultan OF
Turkey. We have from private sources
a more hopeful view. The intention OF
the Sultan was TO massacre all male
Armeniaps, the slayers to have all the
booty they could get, including the
women and children as slaves. The
French estimate of November -, was
that $1,000 had then been slam, but the
French are interested in %minifylng the
slaughter. The desperate and bloody
Sultan has threatened to bring out the
holy carpet and declare a holy war.
This would mean for every MosLem to
kill his Christian neighbor. There are
only two absolutely certain guarantees OF
paradise to a Moslem, one TO die III
Mecca, and the other to die in a holy
war, therefore the Turks would rush in
to the general massacre quite willing TO
lose their W lives. This act upon the
part of the imperial desperate Is to be
avoided or prevented, if possible. On
information Is that the delay of the
powers does not mean any lack Of de
termination on their part. The power OF
the Turk for mischief will shortly enc
forever. This will be brought about b!
one Of two ways; the government OF thu
empire by the powers through a nomina
sultan, as in Egypt, or, what is more
probable, the PARTITION Of the empire
This is regarded as feasible. Austrii
would get what she wants, the territor.
down to, and the seaport of Salonica
Greece would get Thessaly and tn
Archipelago. Bulgaria would be eX
tended further south, leaving, however
Constantlnople to some small powe
like Belgium. Russia would get the cas-
bank Of Euphrates, and France woul
take Syria. Italy would be allotted VIVA
she most wants, Tripoli. England woul
take Egypt and Arabia and an island i
the Archipelago. This would leave tn
peninsula OF Asia Minor to be governe
by a sultan under the direction OF tn
powers. Thus the Dardanelles would b
under guarantees, neutral and free to tn
ships Of all the powers. This We are il
formed is regarded as a possible solutio
by those most interested.

interest has been created in Marion

Bruce, a farmer north of Knoxville, at
coffee raising on a small scale. In the
spring of 1894, Bruce planted seven
grains of fine Rio coffee, and in the fall
harvested half a gallon of an excellent
quality. Most of this he replanted this
spring in a Is rod plot of ground, and
this fall has eight bushels of coffee. or
an average Of 50 bushels per acre. He
is satisfied that the crop is a sure one in
his locality. and thinks it can be grown
