THE BOOM FOR M'k|NLEY
Ohio Republicans Will lndorse
the Governor
THE CONVENTION SLATE
Foraker Is to Be Endorsed for thQ
Senatorship
A Little Split Among the Factions That
Promises Troable-Major Leading
for Governor
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated PreSS Speclal WIG.
ZANESVILLE, Ohio. May 26.-Of the
Republican state convention which meets
here Tuesday and Wednesday the candi.
oates and their workers are here today.
Ex-Secretary Charles Foster was among
the hustlers today. Senator Sherman
will be here tomorrow. There are a dozen
candidates for governor, the favorites
being General Asa s. Bushnell, Judge
Nash and James Ii. Hoyt.
The delegation from Cincinnati had
Bushnell for governor; the one from
Cleveland is booming Hoyt. All were
alike in hoisting Mckinley for president
and Foraker for senator.
The Toledo delegation had their cars
decorated with the inscription, "McKin.
ey for president; Foraker for senator and
Guy Major for governor.
Today factional feeling was intensified
among the advance guard by hearing
that McKinley's name had been torn from
on the order of Guy Major. The frineds
OF Major here say that Governor McKin-
ley friends got up delegation to CON-
test the seats of the Major delegation and
that McKinley's name was torn because
of that action. They announce that they
will begin the fight at this convention
against Mckinley for president by oppos-
ing resolution endorsing the governor foR
president and starting a movement to get
anti-Mckinlev delegates.
1t is not probable that there will be
material opposition to the resolution en-
dorsng Mckinley at this conference for
president. but it is evident that factional
feeling will be strongly developed in the
convention. The Foraker men are CENTER
ing on Mr.. Bushnell for governor and tho
Mckinley men are on Nash. If there
should be any formidable opposition to
endorsing Mckinley for president there
would also be opposition to endorsing
Foraker for senator, and the old factional
feeling in the party in the sstate would
break loose in all its fury. The leaders
in both factions are exercising all poss-
BILE discipline to prevent any outbreak.
but it is not i'm probable that the contest
will get beyond their conurol.

that many Armenians act as sspies for
the Turkish government. 1t is "a melan-
choly state of things. freely admitted by
the Armenians themselves, that Armen-
ians can always be found to sell out their
country and their friends for q purse of
silver.

worthy. 1t should be explained in con-
nection with this revolutionary move

parties. but until | have tangible proof

If these contribu have no desire to
aid the revolutionary party they should
ascertain very truly the ultimate destiny
OF thir contributions. AS have already
pointed out, the Sassoun relief funds
are merely revolutionary funds in dis
guise. I am convinced that any relief
money entrusted to any Armenian will
sooner or later be used to help the revolu-
tionary cause. The entire Armenian peo-
pie are interested in this revolutionary
movement. At present the only possible
way by which the starving people of
Armenia can he helped is by means of
Christian missionaries in Turkey and

Patton along the Persian border has con-
tirmed in a general way the facts which
| have incidentally obtained during the
past eight weeks. The events of the mas
sacre were so horrible that even the
chronic exaGgeration of the Armenian
mind fails to add anything to them. Mr..
Patton was accompanied on this tour of
investigation by DR.. Wright, an American
missionary stationed at Salmis.
These gentlemen took testimony to the
effect that when the Turkish sold ers
and Kurds appeared at certain village
they collected some OF the villagers who
dared protest against the outrages, and
many of the dead men were cut up and
thrown into kettle and boiled like so
much beef. These boil I'd pieces were
then given to the villagers for food. The
wretched creatures were compelled to eat
their friends to the last mouth full. In one
village a party of kurds found child
asleep in cradle. They overturned the
cradle and smothered the child. Then
they dissected the body and roasted
pieces of it before the fire. AS climax
they compelled the members of the
family. including the child's m other, to
east the roasted pieces.
The refugees who tell these stories are
for the most part ready to return to Ar
menia to wreak vengeance on their per-
secutoYs as soon as they are supplied
with ammunition. arms and food by the
revolutionary party, and. as already
stated, the only thing lacking is foon.

Russia as ''soldatskite" guns, that is, the
guns issued to the regular army OF
Russia. The gun is the Boordan rifle,

suited to rough usage. One OF the bit

leaders have to reflect upon is the TACT

according to Bray was very vague. 1t
was to the effect that Mr.. Waller had vio-
lated the French treaty in attempting to
conduct correspondence outside of Ia
matave without permitting it to pass
through French hands. Waller was kept
in prison fifteen days without beng per-
mltted to see anyone and when his trial
which was before court martial. was
at last concluded. in three hours, only
25 minutes was taken for the prepara-
tion of the verdict. which. seeing that
the instrument covered ten or fifteen
pages of manuscript. Mr.. Bray thinks the
evidence was made out in advance.
z Explaining the letter on which the
charges were based Bray says it was ad-
dressed to Waller's wife. who was at the
capital. but was composed largely of
domestic matters. There was but one
reference in it to the French affairs and
this was a suggestion that Mrs. Waller
should put the Hovas authorities on their
guard against two Americans who were
on their way to the capital.
MT. Bray says he has been assured by
the state department authorities here and
by Minister Eustis in Paris that his and
Wallers claims shall be vigorously pressed.

Facts Developed

WASHINGTON, May ga reporter
of the Associated Press secured an inter-
vew with Paul Bray the step-son of ex-
Consul Waller, concerning his and his
step-father's trouble in Madagascar.
'.The French" he said, 'claim author
ity over the foreign affairs of the island

them the right to represent Madagascar

way to interfwere with the management
of the internal affairs of the count ry.
They have since maintained French res

tai, while the Europeans and the
United States have kept only consuls there.
The French representative has claimed
that under this treaty France was en-
titled to exercise a protectorate over the is
land and among other prerogatives. has
demanded that they be allowed to issue
exequateurs to the representatives OF
other foreign governments. Mr.. Walker
was appointed consul by President Har-
rison and when he arrived at the capital
the French representative made the de-
mand that Waller should receive his
badge of authority from him. Knowing
that the natives or Hovas resisted this
claim OF the French and placed different

him in every way.
Mr. Waller's nome is in Antanna-
rivo, which is about $50 miles inland
from Tamatave, but he was at the latter
place on business connected with his con.
cession when he was placed under arrest,
