Sins of the Sultan.

The following letter has been received
in Boston from reliable correspondent
in Constautinople:
seThe Turks have induced some of
the subsidized European papers to speak
Of these crimes as Armenian outbreaks,
etc; but the ambassadors have full re-
ports. which they ought to publish. that
refutc all this, and show conclusively
that the Sultan, within day or two
after he signed the reform scheme,
ordered the Armenians to be massacred
in order that there sholld be no question
of an Armenian majority in any Of the
provinces. The people sought the spoils
obtainablc and so did not execute the
Sultan's wish to the fullest extent. But
the loss Of life has been awful More
over, there seem, to be no way OF pre-
venting more of the same sort.
1T is the most awful crime Of the cen
tury, because it is 80 persistently falsifi-
ed by its authors.
Everywhere the story is the same--a
deliberate preparation, and then story
sent to Europe that the Armenians at
tacked the inoffensive Turk, and were
reduced to order after few had been
killed.
"Worse times are in store for ms. Eu-
rope is divided in counsel, and the Turks,
findsx that nothing is done for this
crtmA will 10 on to cxtrcmities. The
highest Moslem court has declared that
the sultan cannot lawfully be restrained
in the exercise Of his will, since he is
the representative Of God for the whole
earth.
From 5000 to 10000 people have
been slaughtered during the last month,
and in consequence no less than 10000
persons heretofore dependent on them
for their daily food, are now III want.
The coming winter will witness vast
amount Of suffering 1t is not alone at
Sassoun but all over the land where
these occurrences nave taken place.
A dispatch to the London Daily News
from Constantinople, giving a general
resume Of the situation, declares that the
recent massacrcs put the earlier out
RACES Of Sassoun and Moush entirely in
the background. If either England,
France or Russia should publish the
stories reported officially by their cood.
headed consuls all Europe would stand
aghast at the proof, surprised to think
such things possible Wherever these
consuls have Investigated matters they
have found that the accusations that the
Armenians provoked the riots are false.

IT was an affecting thing to see the ilt-
tie children gather around the old bell
on Pennsylvania Day at Atlanta, SAID a
visitor. They were there in droves, and
they hung flowers on the ancient reiic
and seemed to regard it as a thing OF life.
One little girl Of about five years, with
a wealth Of sunny hair, and eyes as blue
as the Southern sky, was led up to the
bell by an old man who liinped and lean
ed heavily on a cane The little one
managed to get behind the railing that
surrounded the bell, and when the guard
looked around she was patting the bell
with a tiny hand. They did not disturb
her-it was common sight, the police
man said, and after awhile she looked up
at the old man and said: "There,
Gwanpa, said I'd pat the bell, and
did, and the man didn't say word. "
And she walked away as proud as little
queen. As they walked away, a by
standcr remarked that the old man was
one Of the bravest cavalry colonels IN the
Confederate Army, and limped from
wounds received in battle,

THE Lake states, ana part OF the Mis-
sissippi valley were swept by blizzard,
Monday night and Tuesday. On the
lakes there was great loss OF shipping;
Chicago was stormbound, street car trav-
el was blocked and some passengers were
compelled to remain in the cars all night.
Reports of the storm come from Cincin-
att, Louisville, St. Louis, indianapolis,
Cleveland, Buffalo and other points,
showing tn at it was widespread.

AT monster mass meeting in New
York, Monday, presided over and ad-
dressed by some OF the leading men of
the city, it was resolved, "That we extend
onr sympathy to the Cuban people in
their struggle for freedom and indepen-
dence, and we call on the Congress and
the President of these United States, and
request then to grant belligerent rights
to the Cuban Republic" !"

MURDERER DURANT, who has gained
a national reputation by killing an IN
nocent girl, is soon to make an affidavit
in which he will state that the news
papers hurt his chances OF being cleared.
Mr.. Durant is right, the newspapers did
hurt him, wanted to injure his chances
of freedom, and will do the same thing
over again. The people look to the
newspapers to disclose frauds, crimes and
corruptions, and herein are they right.
The free press Of the United States IS the
only source by which the world at large
may know OF the pitfalls and dangers
constantly lurking about. Such things
should be exposed and the newspaper
which falters in its duty in this direction
does not deserve to be a representative
Of the people,

AMONG the recent schemes to transmit
large amounts of power by electricity
are two very ambitious ones to supply
the cities of Chicago and Baltimore, The
promoters Of the Chicago scheme claim
the fall of the drainage canal at Lockport,
20 miles west OF the city, will be sutt-
cient to furnish between 10000 and 4o,-
600 horsepower to be wired TO the CITY,
while at Baltimore il is proposed to put
up an enormous plant, 10 miles north on
the Susquehanna river, where two tails
are calculated to afford from $4,000 to
10000 horsepower each. Cnicago's city
electrician, however, is quoted as saying
that the experience at Niagara in trans
ferring power to Buffalo is not proving
paying investment.

number who have already tried the same

KANSAS CITY. Sept. ia gang OF clever
crooks, who have been committing all sorts

gathered in by the police today from a State
Line lodging house, its members Mrs. Mol
lie Thompson, alias Taper Fingered Mollie."
a clever plckpocket from Chicago; her hus-
band, Pat Thompson, who has served time
in the peaitentiary; Jim Sheeran. an all
round crook, and Andy Martin, who has
served at least six terms in the pen!tentlary.
A search OF their rooms revealed a great
quantity OF stolen goods Of all descriptions
and an outfit of counterfeiting tools. They
are looked upon as being the authors OF the
queer money that has been circu 'ated in tho
southwest Of late. Much OF the proper.y has
been identified, and the quartet thus con-
nected with several big robberies.
