IT WAS A FARCE.
The Sitting of the Armenian Commission at
 MOush.

The Sitting of the Armenian Commission at
 Moush.
 London. June S.-The Daily News will publish tomorrow dispatch from Turk ish Armenia. dated June and sent via Kars, Russia, June 9. The dispatch says that the Armenian commission that was sitting at Moush closed on May 31, the European delegates telling the Turkish members that they could have nothing more to do with them. The original cause of the rupture was the refusal of Turkish commissioners to examine im- portant witnesses, basing their refusal on purely farcical grounds. The Daily News. com}nenting on the dispatch. will say thatthe attitude of the Turkish commissioners has been inva- riably increasingly dishonest and that their recoursfs to bribery and coercion was prompted and encouraged by the highest authority at Constantinoule.
 Great Britain has appointed vice consul for the lxilayet of Bitlis. He will rfAlAe in Moueh.

THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION
PROMISES TO BE LARGELY ATTENDED
All Southern and Western States Will Be Rep resented, It Is Said-What Mir.
 Whitney Says.

Memphis, Tenn, June 9.-There will assemble in Memphis next Wednesday the largest convention ever held to con- slider single question of political econ lomy in this country.
 The present indications point to a mag nificent vindication of the promoters of the movement to settle southern and western silver people together in a great legislative body. The call was actuated by the holding of the big convention in this city on May 23 when the op- ponents of free coinage living in the south sent delegates here to hear Secre- tary Carlisle speak and to give expres- sion to their views on the money ques- tion in series of we'll defined resolu- tions. The meeting of the opponents of the free coinage of silver was looked upon as the inauguration of strong and vigorous campaign of eddcation along the line of the delegates views, and the bimetallic league considerd it imperative to take actions thatrwould counteract the influence of it's oppU1ents
 All southern and western states will be represented and delegates have been appointed in the larger cities and towns and each of the states and territorial representations will be just in line with the original desires of the central people. 1t looks as though at least 1500 or 2000 u0t6blSS Nl!I pdfllClpdte III l!iG. pTO- ceedlngs of the gathering. They are coming from every county of Mississippi, almost every one in Arkansas and Tennessee, and the representation from Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama will be nearly as large.
 Dispatches have been received daily for the past week announcing the coming of silver delegates from every quarter, and tomorrow night the hotels will be- gin to fill with enthusiastic supporters of free coinage.
 Besides the delegates who will come to Memphis, indications now point to the presence of at least 10000 visitors in the city while the convention is in progress.
 The railroads have put on the reduced rate tickets and in several instances will run special trains for the accommodation of those who will come. The five roads VIII run specials from all points within 150 miles of the city.
 So strongly have the promoters of the convention become impressed with the lmmensity of the crowd that will be here that they have long sice despairad of accommodating all in the auditorium and have accordingly secured the Grand Opera house for overflow meetings so that while the convention proper is de- liberating in the auditorium, the promi. nent men being heard there, other states men will be addressing audiences in the Grand.
 The league proposes to make resolu- tons expressive of silver views by the convention and it will take advantage Of the presence of the distinguished sl- yer leaders and thousands of people to do some work in the line of education.

MIR. WHITNEY'S VIEWS.
He Says the Campaign of Education Should
 Be Carried On.


 Be Carried On.
 Boston. June 9.-Secretary of the Navy William Whitney was interviewed at the home of his mother in Brookline to- night He said: "I am not and will not be presidential candidate. If the sil- verites should carry the next democratic convention it would split the party right in two. The democrats must stand for sound money There are a good many sound money men in the west and south, and the Memphis convention, I think, has helped the cause along.
 Secretary Carlisle's speech at Mem phis was an excellent one, and deserves to be widely read. It has undoubtedly had much influence in the south. l think the people vii eventually treat this question the same way they did the greenback question. They want sound money just as much as they did then"
 MT Whitney felt, however, that the free silver question was liable to assume the same proportions, or even greater one, than the greenback question. He intimated that an organized educational movement was what was necessary to counteract the spread of the free silver doctrine.
 'I don't think the republicans will care to reopen the tariff question again They would gain nothing by 1t. The money question will dominate everything in the next campaign unless there is a rau1cal change Tn sentiment within the next year"
 MT. Whitney does not think that any of the eastern states will follow the Illi- nois democrats in the matter of calling state conventions to consider the finan- cal questions.
 It was suggested that there would probably be hard work for him to do in the next convention. and MT. Whitney studied as he said: Well, l shall be in the struggle if there is an intellectual one for sound money, you may be sure" Mir. Whitney will probably spend a few days in Boston, and it is probable that some important political topics will be discussed among the leaders in this state during his stay, If some have not already been diScusSad

Wednesday evening tw enty prominent citizens engaged hacks an1 went through the rain to Toms resi- dence in the suburbs of town and called MT. Tank out. He was quickly informed by pr. Gautier of their mission and was told that he would be given until 4 o'clock the next morning to leave, not only the town, but the county His time was then cut shorter by Mir Park Swan son, who gave him until o'clock. Tom tried to explain, but was told by MT. Ward that no one cared to hear from him. When asked why he stopped with white people at Cross Keys he said that the negroes were not nice enough down there. The crowd then drove back and Kelley has since made his departure.
 Judge Frazer and wife of Union Springs were among the visitors to com mencement.

 Two of the teachers will not return-- Professer Gardiner and Miss Birdson.
 Professor Gardiner expects to remain at his home In Boston and take a higher course in music while Miss BirdsolI has accepted a more lucrative position at Dr. Prices school in Nashville, Tenn. They are both competent teachers and have pleased Dr. Massey in every re- spect. A music teacher from Germany has been employed and an art teacher. who will be here at the opening of the school in the fall.
 Professor Fonvilles school closed Thursday evening. The exercises that were to have been held Wednesday even- ing were postponed on account of rain, the large building in which the exercises were held was crowded to its capacity. The orchestra, composed of Professor FonVille and six or eight of his students, rendered some most excellent music, though they had been practicing only a short while. The speeches were well delivered and showed that they had been thoroughly trained. The fancy drilling, which was one of the most pleasant features of the evenings enter tainment. was done with scarcely any errors. The entire programme, which was both amusing and instructive. was carried out in a manner that would have done credit to much larger institutions, and many were the compliments paid Professor Fonville and wife for their splendid performance.
 A few weeks ago there came through here a man by the name of Kelley. who hailed from Ohio. Kelley's mission, it seems, was to preach to the negroes, and no one made the slightest objection. Not satisfied, however, with preaching to them, he preferred mingling with them on all occasions and was frequently seen promenading the streets with both sexes. He was being entertained by Tom Harris. a colored lawyer, Whos on ac-

 Orders a Sentry to Let an Old Man Smoke in
 Peace
 The following story of German Diog- enes is perfectly authentic: When King Frederick William visited the Rhine provinces in 1S43 he made a short stay at Wesel. where he called at the house of the oldest man in his kingdom, aged 100 years. He found him comfortably seated in an old armchair. smoking a pipe his inseparable companion. On the kings arrival he rose to his feet and stepped forward a few paces, but his majesty made him sit down again and talked to him with the greatest free dom the old man pulling away at his pipe all the time. When about 10 leave, the king asked him if he had any wish that 1t was in his wpeo trgitfyaro eoyt that it was in his power to grstify.
 No, thanks, your majesty, l have all I want in this world" was the reply
 Really Just think for moment we mortals have generally some particular desire or aspiration"
 Well, sire, now I come to think of it. I might have a favor to ask. My doct or insists on my taking a walk every day on the ramparts. Every time 1 pass the powder magazine the sentinel shouts to me from afar. Take the pipe out of your mouth and as I walk very slowly my pipe goes out every time. Now, if your majesty would be good enough to order the sentry to let me smoke my pipe in peace all the way I should consider 1t the greatest kindness you could confer on me for the rest of my natural life"
 The order was given and the old fellow enjoyed the privilege for more than two years, and died at last with the pipe in his mouth-Chicago Tribune.

 There is a place in the scheme of crea- tion for diminutives in names. That place is in the bosom of the family and among those who are almost as inti- mate with one as ones family.
