cisely what was lacking at the Brussels
conference, which led to the failure of
that body in practical sense.
But there Is another piece of news in
the same connection that is we'll worth
needing. A London special declares that
a serious financial crisis is impending in
Austro-Hungary. There has been a
heavy fall in stock, and failures of large
sugar factories are expected. Some time
ago when Austria made extraordinary
exertions to secure gold in order to put
her currency on monometallic basis the
British financial papers predicted all
sorts of prosperity for that country. But
it appears that devotion to the single
standard has been unable to save Austro-
Hungary from financial crash. Indeed
there are pretty strong symptoms that
the folly of the inanciers has accelerated
the present tumble. Certainly the aban-
donment of silver by Austria must have
helped to further depress the prices OF
staple products, and to that depression
the ruin OF the sugar industry can be di-
rectly traced.
Why multiply these object lessons?
A small item in Wednesdays edition
of the New York Herald tells the same
story in more local form. Here it is:
Exports OF general merchandise from
the port OF New York for the week end
ing today were valued at $685. ,372,
against 80, ,472, AIS in the preceding week.
and $6, 473, ,2S2 for the corresponding week
of last year. Since January /, $54,4l6,-
$50, against $57 ,332, ,4O3 for the cores
ponding period last year.
How are these losses accounted forP
Not by falling off in the volume OF eX-
ports, but by the general decline in val
ues that has occurred within the year
as the net result of endeavors to place
this country and the commercial world
upon the gold basis OF valuation and ex'
change.
Local clearings show loss OF l7.2 pei
cent. compared with last year. This il
due in part if not entirely to bad weather
in the mining districts, which has cut of
largely the shipments OF ore and return
shipments OF supplies. Colorado is now
on goldmining basis and to this in
dustry all others must look for thei
measure OF profit, activity and enlarge
ment. Capital is not lacking. 1t is saf'
to assert that any producing gold mine
within reach OF a railroad, or which Cal
be worked the year round, can be SOLE

that he and other English statesmen have
carried out toward weak people and small
Governments in other parts of the world.
''For myself, can only repeat that am
clad that such stand has been taken by
the United States. 1t was about time, and
the upshot of it will be that the reasonable
demand made by the President to have,
the whole trouble submitted to arbitration
will be accepted by England, and then the
seat of operations will be transferred from
the newspapers to diplomacy. 1 believe
that war is so far away that it is outside
the realm of probability, because, after all,
look at it in this light: The commercial
relations between this country and Great
Britain are so enormous that the people of
the United States, on the one hand, and of
Great Britain, on the other, would: prac-
ticaIly be insane if they jeopardized these
trade relations on account of a small af
fair like this in Nenezuela--a little 10000
square miles of worthless country. This
is particularly plain when it is taken into
consideration that the President of the
United States makes SO favorable a propo-
sition as to have the whole matter sub
mitted for arbitration" ::

PROGRAMME OF THE HOUSE
Three Day Adjournments to Be Re-
peated Until the Date for the
Regular Session.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 29.-The
reorganization of the committees of the
Senate, upon which the steering commit
tees OF both the old parties have been
working for the past three weeks, will be
effected tomorrow by the passage OF a
resolution to be introduced by Mitchell,
chairman OF the Republican committee.
In violation of precedents for number OF
years past yea and nay vote will be taken
upon the adoption of the resolution. The
Democrats say they intend to show to the
country that the Republicans have more
votes in the Senate than the Democrats,
and therefore are entitled to take control,
but there is a suspicion that the Demo
Gratis hope by this vote to be able to show
that deal has been made by the Repub-
licans with the Populists.
The Republicans meet this argument
with the statement that they have per-
mitted the Populists to remain just where
they were under Democratic admins
tration of the Senate, and the charge of a
deal no more applies now than it would as
against the Democrats when they assumed
control.
The reorganization will not go into effect
practically until after Wednesday, for the
present employees, clerks. etc., have al
ready been paid their salaries for the
month of December.
Besides the re organization resolution an
address by Lodge (R.) of Massachusetts, is
on the programme for Monday on the
resolution now on the table relating to the
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine.
Lodge, who is an ardent advocate of the
strict enforcement of that doctrine, will
doubtless make strong speech and COM
mand the attention of the Senate and the
country. 1t is understood he will go deeply
into this subject and review the historical
matters out of which it grew and the cases
in which it has been applied by this
Government.
1t is probable that the Senate will in
dulge after tomorrow in three days re.
cess until the holiday season is over.
The new tariff bill is now before the
Finance Committee, and a meeting of that
body has been called for Tuesday. While
there will be no undue delay in reporting
the bill back to the Senate, it is not prob
able that the report will be made before
the end of next week.
The programme for the House this week
is one of practical idle1ess. Under the
working of the agreement announced Sat
urday by Dingley, chairman of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means, the House
will be called to order Tuesday to adjourn
until Friday, when the operation will be
repeated, adjournment being taken that
day until Monday, January 6, at which
time the consideration OF business will lie
resumed. The Appropriations and Elec-
tions Committees expect to do some work
in their rooms during the week for the fur
therance Of matters committed to them.

forms. They would strongly recommend
the introduction of e-reaching re.
forms for all Turkish subjects were
it not that insuperable objects rem.
der even such a course absolutely
impossible; for, first, the powers have no
right to interfere in favor of the Sultan s
Mohammedan subjects; second, the Turks
and Kurds themselves desire no such re-
forms-are, in fact, opposed to them; and,
finally, general reforms for all would nec-
essarily prove as disastrous as special re-
forms for Armenian Christians, because
the Armenians, as the most intelligent and
only self-disciplined element of the popula-
ton. would profit by the improvement to
obtain political preponderance for them
selves. Things had better, therefore, re-
main as they are, with the wholesale butch
cries left out; that is to say. the normal
condition OF things must be established,
which in very few years will solve the
Armenian question by exterminating the
Armenans.

MASSILLON, ONO, Dec. 29.-The Royal

A dispatch was received here from H. M.
Gillig at Albany, N. Y, saying that he
wished to help them and requesting the
Mayor to telegraph him at Chicago. The
musicians were too proud to reveal their

HIDING THE TRUTH.

tied at the Palace.
LONDON, Eng, Dec. 29.--The CORE
spondent of the United Press at Constan-
tinople sends the following under yester-
days date:
The continuous publication and circula-
ton of official falsehoods, together with
the barricade against truth of every avenue
of publicity, has become one of the most
dangerous elements of the present sltua-
ton at Constantinople. Censorship of the
Turkish press exists. Latterly its sole OBJ
ject has been to suppress facts, and to COM
pei publication of editorials" relative to
the Armenians, which are prepared at the
Palace, and of kilograms" written under
physical compulsion by wretched Armen-
nian prisoners in the dungeons of Asiatic
Turkey. In reality the Turkish newspa-
pers are thus edited at the palace.
The result of this use of press is that
the Mohammedan populace, and even
moderately educated gentlemen at Con-
stantinople, find their chief reason for dis
content with the Sultan in his failure to
order the destruction of Christians gener-
ally. They suppose that the Armenians
of Asiatic Turkey have murdered and pill
laged great numbers of Moslems; that the
reserves have been called into the field to
punish and reduce to order the Armenians !;
that the European powers have interviewed
to prevent the restoration of order and that
the foreign gunboats have come to the
Bosphorous IN order to encourage Chris
tians IN insurrection.
The deduction made from this mass of
error is that the Christians are preparing
to massacre Moslems, and that therefore
the Moslems must first massacre the
Christians. Unquestionably, the object
of this official dissemination of falsehoods,
through cunningly devised communica-
tions to the press, has been to infiame the
ignorant and cause the intense excitement
which has resulted.
The missionaries at Marsovan have tele-
graphed to the Hon. A. w. Terrill, the
American Minister, declaring that the
guards furnished by the authorities for
their protection are not trustworthy, and
that in consequence their lives and prop
erty are in danger.
n Mr.. Terrill telegraphed to Milo A. Jewet,
the American Consula at Sivas, instruct
ing him to go to Marsovan, if possible.
Yesterday Mr.. Jewet replied that it was
impossible for him to leave Sivas, as an
outbreak was threatened at that place.
Mr.. Terrill then visited the Porte, where
his representations resulted i'll an order
being sent to the military commander at
Marsovan to substitute regular soldiers for
the guards who had been detailed to pro-
tect the Americans.

He Has Not Been Tendered a Place on the

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 29.-Justice David
J. Brewer OF the United States Supreme
Court is in, this city en- route from San
Antonio, Tex, where he has been at the
bedside of a sick daughter, to Washing
ton. He left tonight. Judge Brewer said
the report that he had been asked to ac-
cept place on the Venezuela Commission
was untrue. He said:
81 would not be surprised if Chief JUS
tice Fuller were rendered place on the
commission. He and the President are
warm friends and Mr.. Cleveland appointed
HIM Chief Justice in 1888. The Chief JUS
tice would make an excellent man for the
place, but although lie is wiry and is
capable of dong an immense amount of
work tdon't think he would accept the
position. His duties would then be too
great for any man. As to General Harri-
son | don't think that he would accept a
position on the commission. He can
probably make more money out of his law
practice and not do such hard work. And

Continuing, Judge Brewer said Speaker
Reed is now on trial, as it were. He has a

the next four months will make or break

LONDON, ENG, Dec. 29.-The morning
papers here will tomorrow print q letter
from ex-Prime Minister Rosebery, dated
December "a, in which he says that he is
haunted by the horrors that have occurred
in Asia Minor. Continuing, he says: 1.-THE
country intrusted the present Ministry
with dictatorship and an armada to
support that dictatorship.
''Ihe Chief of the Ministry has uttered
sounding threats which might well raise
the hopes of the people for whom he
spoke. What has been the result? Our
protests have been idle, our action futile
and our menaces disregarded."
In conclusion Lord Rosebery declares
that the Government is soley responsible
for the condition of affairs and suggests
that it gravely misled the country when it
said the concert Of Europe on the Armen-
ian question was complete.
