Boston, Jan. IA letter just received
in this city from the seat of the outrages
IN Eastern Turkey, places the number of
slaughtered Armenians at fully $4,000. IL
is written by man in whom the fullest
confidence is placed, and portions are TOO
horrible TO repeat. Tho writer in part
says Of the Armcnians oppressed by Tur-
key and the Turks:
They cannot pay taxes TO both the
kurds and the government. Plundcred
and oppressed by the Kurds. they resisted
them, and there were some killed. Then
the false reports reached toAstantinople
that the Arnenians were in arms and re-
beiiing. Orders were sent 10 Mushier at
Muserzegan 10 cXterminate them. The
order was read before tho Armenian
army, which was collected in haste from
all the chief tribes of Eastern Turkey.
The order said: Whoever spares men,
women OF children is disloyal.'
"Thc region was surrounded by soldiers
and 10000 Kurds also are said to havo
been massed there. Then they advanced
on the country, driving the people like
flocks, and continued TO advance for
days.
mo quarter was given; no mercy was
shown. Men, women and children were
shot down or butchered like sheep. Many
OF the wounded fed in all directions, but
the majority were slain.
The most probable estimate is 1900
killed; the villages were plundcred, razed
and burned. a priest was taken to the
roof OF his church and hacked to piec- 5
ana tho ediiice set on fire. 4 large num-
Der of women aud girls collected in n
church were kept there for three days,
then murdered. 1t is said the number
was SO large that the blood flowed out of
the church door. The other day sevcra'
soldiers were returning from the seat of

How Armenian Effected HIS Escape
From Nollere al MnrsoNan.

How an Armenian Effected HIS Escape
From College at Marsoyan.
New YORK. Jan. 1.-The most interest
ing immigrant at Ellis Island yesterday
was Diogenes Menippe, young Ar
menian, who escaped from the fury of the
Turks just in tIme to save his life, and
was about 10 be sent home as an undesir-
able immigrant, when his case was re-
viewed by the immigration officials and
he was discharged. Menippe is only Is
years old. He was n student at the Amcri-
can college ut Marsovan, Ammonia, and
after seeing 20 of his school companions
taken out and wantonly murdered, and
two of the college professors imprisoned
and sentenced to death, he determined to
escape if possible, and quit the town by
stealth.
Mennippe is bright youth, and speaks
the English language fairly well. Tn 3
stood him IN good stead when he reached
Constantinople, for he succeeded in de-
ceivlng the authorities with believing him
foreigner. The young mans parents
are in the employ of tho American Bible
society at Marsovan, and, beng under tho
protection of the American ilag, had never
been molested. They furnished HIM with
enough money to come here, but he had
only s. when he landed, and thus camo
under the prohibited class of immigrants.
His flight from Marsovan. he said, was
attended with great difficulty and danger.
The whole town was patrolled by Turkish
soldiers, and whenever they had nothing
else TO do they sent a delegation to the
college 10 examine n student. This cX-
animation consisted merely in taking
him from under tho protection of the
college, tying a stone around his neck and
throwing him into the river. Twenty of
the students, nc said. had been murdered
in that way in two years.
Two of the professors had been arrested
and taken TO prison, where, after a mock
trial, they were sentenced TO death. Pre-
vious TO the passing of this sentence, DR..
Herrick. an English professor at the col
lege. appealed direct 10 his country for
interference in behalf of tho two men,
which was promptly gwen. Their release
was demanded by the English government
and speedily granted by the Turkish gov
ernment. The Turkish soldiers would
visit the college, armel with a firmau or
order for examination, which the college
authorities were Obliged TO honor. Inc
return of the students thus taken from
the institution was always promised, but
the promise was never kept. Two OF the
college buildings were also burned by tho
soldiers.
Menippe, after leaving Marsovrn, made
his way TO Constantinople, and thence 10
Marscilles, continuing on 10 Boulosne,
where he met the steamship Vecndam,
which brought IA III mere.
At his first examination at Ellis Island
he was orlered returned, but M.ss Mary
Melby, OF the Women's Baptist Missionary
society, Interested herself IN his case.
Sue secured a stay To- him and then ef-
fectcd his release.

American Labor.

Pennsylvania has a law making it
unlawful to employ any but American
citizens on public work in PennsYl-
vania. The law imposing this condl-
ton was passed at the instance of the
labor organizations, and its expected
effort is an increase Of wages on &C.
count Of the diminished number Of
men who can be hired, says the Sc
dalia Capital This is q good law.
While bowling SO loud for protection
to American industry" the managers
of the private and public industries
have given positions to unnaturalized
citizens while the men who are full
hedged American citizens have been
left idle. That Is all wrong. America
is for American citizens. One of the
greatest menaces to the American peo'
pie is the influx Of pauper labor and
anarchistic ideas from Central Europe.
The labor unions cannot do a more
noble service for themselves and for
the Republic than to rigidly exclude
from their membership every man
who is not an American citizen. They
can, if they will, do very much to
render it impossible it continue the
dangerous policy of making the Unit
ed States the dumping ground of the
Anarchlstic sentiment and pauperized
labor of Central and Southern Europe
There can be no genuine protection
to American industries until the i'm
migration and naturalization laws
cease to be the tools of the trusts anC
combines who fatten upon imported
pauper labor at the expense of Amer
can wage earners who are entitled tC
the protection Of the laws made fol
the benefit of American citizens
