ST. JOHN OF NEW YORK ARGUED
FOR A DOUBLE STANDARD
AND COINAGE OF SILVER.

ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 1.-THE American
Bankers Association elected officers to-
day. E. Fl. Pullen of New York was
chosen president and r. J. Lowry of At
lanta vice-president The features to-day
were the speeches made by w. P. st. John
of New York and Edward Atkinson of
York. Mr.. st. John argued for a double
standard and opening of the mints again
to silver. Mr.. Atkinson spoke first
Mr.. ST. John, who is president of the
Mercantile National Bank of New York,
replying to Mr.. Atkinson, said that accord
ing to Mr.. Atkinson current antagonisms
as to money are due to distinctly different
schools OF finance. He condemned Mr.
Atkinson's charge of injustice to the cred
itor in granting the debtor the option of
coins with which to pay and resented the
suggestion of silver basis in the United
States as the result of reopening the minis
to silver, but said that if the silver basis
ensues it may enable US to duplicate the
experience of India. 1ndias foreign COM
merce, according to Mr.. St. John, estab-
fishes credit balance of trade approach

liabilities of $110,000,000 and draws S55.-
100000 of silver and $25 0O0, 900 of gold from
the trading world in settlement.
The suggested exhaustiess supplies of
silver are to be met, he claimed, with q
supposed exhaustless supply of gold in
1853. He claimed that the object of the
bimetallists is to enlarge the worlds ag-
gregate of money, while the worlds ag-
gregate of everything else is enIarging,
and said that the tendency of that would
be to provide producers fair share of the
wealth which they produce, the result be-
ing tendency in law toward the dissem-
ination rather than toward the aggrega-
tion of wealth. He thought that inde-
pendent bimetallism in the United States
would be successful if attempted under
present conditions, foreign and domestic,

English nobility. The entire British
diplomatic corps stationed at Washington

NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 17.-When the
American pilgrims had their audience
with Pope Leo in last August they carried
into the Vatican three American flags.
These they left as souvenirs of their visit
at the shrines at Loretto at Lourdes and
at Pa1ay lie Monial. The flags were blessed
by the Pope and he expressed his great
pleasure at their beauty, the bright colors
especially attracting the eye.
He expressed regret that the pilgrims
did not bring flag for him also, as he de-
sired TO have one for the Vatican. This
desire he was told would be satisfied as
soon as the pilgrims got home.
In accordance with this promise the
Brooklyn Catholic Young Women's Asao-
citation, OF which the Rev. Edward w. Nc
Carthy is spiritual director, will have two
elaborate silk flags made of regulation size
and texture, and will forward them TO
Rome, where they will be offered as a.
Christmas gift to the Pope. They will be
hung as portieres in the passagewav lead
ing to the Pope's private apartments.

work special blessing from the Pope was
obtained. The official document stating
this is TO be framed and hung in the club.

THEY FIRED ON THE PROSECUTED
PEOPLE AND HELPED IN THE
MASSACRE.
SOME TURKS IN OPPOSITION.
THE BETTER CLASSES SHELTERED
WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN
THEIR HOUSES.

LONDON, ENG, Oct. 1.-THE Daily
News will tomorrow publish dispatch
from Constantinople giving a description
by an eyewitness of the rioting at Trebi-
zond. He says that four separate Moslem
mobs surrounded the Armenian head
quarters at IL o'clock on the morning Of
October and began to pilIage the shops.
Being opposed, they fired on the Armeni-
ans, and soon general massacre began.
Soldiers joined the mob in firing on the
Armenians and in pillaging the shops and
houses. The scene continued until 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, when nothing
was left to pillage and nobody remained to
be killed. The mob then began to dis
perse.
The better class of Turks did their best
to protect the lives of the Armenians.
They sheltered the women and children
and many men in their houses. The mob
attacked only the orthodox Armenians,
leaving Catholics alone. Only two nom
Armenians were killed, both being Greeks.
One of these was within a kahn, where
resistance led to the killing of all the in
mates, numbering ffty-five. No women
or children were killed in the town.
At 6 O'Clock the Governor and other Off
cials appeared upon the scene, and the
Governor proclaimed that anybody found
armed would be arrested and summarily
punished. Leading Turks obtained per-
mission for the Armenians to lodge in the
barracks, where military protection was
given them it being feared there might be
renewal Of the disorders during the
night.
An official return places the number of
the dead at 180, but well-informed persons
place it at between 400 and 500.
On the same day, October 8, several vii
lagos outside of Trebizond were burned
and pillaged and many persons were
killed. Other villages were partly looted.
The efforts of the officials and influential
Turks saved many lives. After matters
had quieted down the foreigners returned
TO their homes from the ships on which
they had taken refuge. By October 13,
when the eyewitness left, nearly all the
foreign and native refugees had returned.

WHILE ON THE WAY BACK THE
ExILEs WERE GROSSLY IN
SUITED BY SOLDIERS.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 17.-Mrs. John
L. Waller, wife of the former United States
Consul to Madagascar, arrived in this city
to-day on the Dutch steamship Amster-
dam. She was accompanied by her three
daughters and young son. She said that
she could add but little to the reports al
ready made public of her husbands con-
hnement in the prison at Marseilles
"There is one thing 1 would like to say,
however" Mrs. Waller said. ''Embassador
Eustis has been harshly criticized for not
aiding us as much as he might have done.
There is no truth in that report. The whole
trouble lay with Robert Campbell, my hus-
bands predecessor. He promised me to
cable the authorities at Washington asking
for their assistance, but instead of doing
so he wrote, thus causing me an unnecs-
sary delay of nearly three months.
81 shall go to Washington at once, and
there try to make arrangements for my
husbands release. He Is most unjustly
imprisoned
Mrs. Waller says that if Mr.. Waller had
not been detained at Tamatave by Consul
Wetter, who rnwarrantably questioned
some of her husbands official acts, Waller
would not have been arrested.
In fact, she said, public opinion at
Tamatave was to the effect that Consul
Wetter was in collision with the French
authorities. She was sent home on third
class passage, and while on the steamer
she and her children were grossly insulted
by the French soldiers.
From Marseilles, where she and her
children were treated with the greatest
kindness by Consul Claude Thomas, of
whom she speaks in the highest terms,
Mrs. Waller came to the United States in
the second cabin. She says her husband
is in very Door health

They had sawed quarter through the

There they would have assaulted the

six months.
