TO PROTECT THE LAKES.
Plants Capable of Building Thirty War
ships In Ten Months.

ships in Ten Months.
Chicago, December 24.-W. l.. Brown,
of the Chicago Shipbuilding Company,
declared to-day that in case of war with
England the United States could build
thirty fully equipped warships for lake
service inside of ten months. In an
emergency armored vessels of simple
construction could be put together In
ninety days.
ION the other hand" he added, Can
ada could do practically nothing in the
way of armored vessels and would be
obliged to get along with makeshifts.
As the first move Of the United States
would be to destroy the Welland canal
the situation on the great lakes would
resolve itself into this: Which nation
has the best shipbuilding facilities on
the chain of lakes?
The ship yards on the United States
side could take care of the work faster
than the material could be furnished"
continued Mr. Brown. "All the armor
for these vessels has to come from one
place, Pittsburg. There are only two
firms there which make 1.-THE Carnegie
Steel Company and the Cambria Iron
Company SO that the United States
controls the supply Of material"

Letters from the Interior of Turkey ke-
ceived i'm Boston-Armenians Gave up
nTheir Arms.
Boston. December PA letter was
received in Boston this morning that
the situation in Mardin, in Central
Turkey is becoming more serious:
Hadjin is encompassed by large band
of Kurds and Turks, who have ralded
and sacked every village in the nelgn-
borhood. The government does roth
ing to put stop to this work OF muir
der and pillage.
The Christians of this region, not
withstanding the treatment TO which
they have been subjected, offer no re-
sistance, and in their conduct through
out they have been most praiseworthy.
The Vail gives assurance that the mis-
sionaries shall be protected and the
Consuls have warned him that they
hold him responsible for their safety.
A letter was also received to-day
from the vicinity of Harpoot stating
that the Turkish government has al
ready begun to represent that the Ar
menians provoked the assaults.
AS 10 the ArmenlanS IN most places
in the region of Harpoot they had given
up their arms and cast themselves
wholly on the protection of the govern
ment. The day before the outbreak the
colonel in command telegraphed to his
commander in chief at Mezrah, that the
Christians had given up their weapons
and cast themselves on the protection
of the government with their women
and children. He received no reply.
1t seems perfectly plain that this
whole thing emanated from the Sultan.

The liberals have lost the constituency, the vote standing: MT Baillie, unionist 316i; Mir. MacRae, liberal. 2514. One of the ballot boxes was burned last evening, but this will not affect the result. The lergeness of the unionist majority. $50, will strength- en the section of the liberal party that is demanding the early dissolution of the house of commons. At the last cleo tien Dr. MacGregor was returned by a majority of S79. It will thus be seen that the unionist gain in the district is 1929 votes.

Those on the inside refuse to give answers yea or nay and it has. therefore become necessary. In order to learn the real facts, for lot of seeking around. This much has been learned, and so strong is the proof that it can be said with positiveness: The steel plant will be built within a short time. The Birmingham Boiler works is mak- ing boilers for the plant. They have thirty-fve boilermakers and helpers at work day and night Sunday included alternating. in order to get out a con tract which they have made with the Birmingham Rolling Mill company.
