SENATOR HALE'S MEMORIAL
IN INTEREST OF UNIFIED STATES
 CITIZENS IN ARMENIA.

Sources of Danger Are Pointed Out-The
 Porte Objected to Sending MT. Jewett
 Because He Had Married an Armenian
 Woman and Might be Biased.
 Washington, Jan. An the senate to- day Mir Hale offered memorial in the interest of native born United States citizens living in Turkish Armenia, whose lives, property and lawful occu- pations, the memorial says, are fre- quently imperilled. The memorial shows that in Asiatic Turkey there is a permanent force of nearly 25O American missionaries who hold over $2,0OO0OO Of American property. In the eastern Turkey mission there are fifty adult missionaries who have under their charge forty-two churches, 169 schools, a hospital and a large medical work. The sources of danger pointed out are the 1awlessness of numerous highway men who infest the country, the fanat- ical moslem population of the cities, the hostility of Turkish officials who have repeatedly failed to restrain and in some cases have even encouraged at tacks upon the lives and property of American citizens,
 After setting forth the evidences of this dangerous condition the memorial ists say the conditions shown to exist abundantly justify a renewed request for some consular protection in the eastern part of Turkey, from which Americans there are completely shut off The nearest consul Is MT. Jewett, but he is too far away to be of any service, and mail addressed to him is unhesitatingly intercepted by the Turk ish officials, An urgent request is made for the stationing of American consuls at Eerzroum and Harpoot.
 Speaking in relation to this memorial and the Armenian situation senator well informed on the question, gave "the real reason why the porte objected to the sending of Mir Jewett, our consul at Sivas, to make an independent inves- tigation of these alleged atrocities"
 He said; Consul Jewett married an Armenian lady, understands the lan- guage thoroughly and could get at the facts, but of course would be inclined naturally enough to view them from a standpoint which the Turkish govern ment would regard as biased"

PARKHURST WAS TOO ILL.
HE DID NOT APPEAR IN ANSWER
 TO 4 SUBPRNA SERVER.

It Was the Intention of the Lexow CoIn-
 mittee to Place Him the Stand--When
 Asked In Regard to it He Replied That He
 Had Nothing to Say.
 New York, Jan. 1.-The Evening Sun prints an interview with a member of the chamber of commerce who has been closely identified with the reform movement for some time past. This gentleman is quoted as saying:
 From all I have been able to learn the Lexow committee was exceedingly anxious to have pr. Parkhurst in court during the examination of Superintend- ent Byrnes, so that he might put to MT. Golf and to Byrnes any question which the doctor wanted to have ex- plained.
 eff he did not care to do that the cons mittee wanted him to take the stand and tell what he knew about Byrnes in order that Byrnes might be cross-ex- amined later.
 T am informed that the doctor was subpoenaed. A faithful subpoena serv- CT served the instrument on the doctor. It called for his appearance in court on Saturday night last. Instead of the doctor putting in an appearance he sent certificate from his physician which stated he was too ill to appear. un- derstand that the committee and it's counsel were simply dumbfounded when the physicians certificate was received from Dr. Parkhurst."
 Dr. Parkhurst was seen at his home this afternoon. He was asked if he had been subpoenaed and had sent physi- clans certificate, and in reply said: v have nothing to say"
 Senator Lexow was also questioned but he only referred the reporter to Drs Parkhurst.

IS AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
Railway Employes Discuss Financial
 Affairs,


 Boston, Jan. 1.-The organization, in- cluding 5000 employees, principally con- ductors and motormen, of the West End Railway company, met last night to consider the new agreement with the company.
 The new agreement is said to be for $2 for ten hours in one day for week days, and seven hours on Sundays. About a year ago the men made a de- mand for $2.50 and compromise was effected on $2.25, but during the year there has been considerable complaint as to their paying and their privileges, which are in the new agreement, being withdrawn. It is not believed the ad- ditional twenty-five cents day, or the Sunday demand will be granted by the company, in which case there is possi- bility of a strike. During the meeting fully 2,000 men came and went, mean time depositing their votes for or against the twenty-six propositions contained in the new agreement.
 At 1;3O a. m, they had acted upon fourteen of them, and were still in ses- sion.
 Among the demands which it has al- ready been decided to submit to the West End street railway are those men toned above, namely; $2.5O; a, ten hour working day on week days and seven-hour day on Sunday,
 These are really the most important questions to be settled, and upon the answers of the company will depend the question whether or not a strike will be ordered

The Fitzgerald Committee to Go With tn
 Olcott-Earle People.
 Philadelphia, Jan. 4.-Now that the Olcott-Earle committee of the Reading railroad security holders has virtually secured the. control of the situation by unifying $34,OOO,OOO of the geenral mort gage bonds, and 413,0O0 shares of the stock the Fitzgerald committee of New York holders of general mortgage bonds is disposed to join forces. To-day John R. Dos Passes, the counsel of the lat ter body, which up to this time has held aloof, came to Philadelphia for the express purpose of discussing the situa- tion with George H. Earle, jr.
 The drift of his views was in the direction of amicable co-operat tion. Heretofore he has always been ag- gressively antagonistic. Nothing was done. Nothing, in fact, will be done un- til after the annual meeting of the Reading shareholders. In the mean while the reorganizers will quietly work out a plan to be promulgated some time next month.

AUSTRIA ENTERS 4 PROTEST.
Congress Will be Notified of 1t and Attention

 Congress Will be Notified of 1t and Attention
 Called to the Matter.
 Washington, Jan. 4-Baron won Hens gelmeuller, the new minister of Austria- Hungary, to-day presented to Secretary Gresham formal protest from his gov- ernment protesting against the discrim- mating duty in the new tariff of one- tenth of l per cent. per pound of sugar coming from countries paying an export bounty thereon The protest, as in the case of Germany, is based on the fact that the action of congress cannot be reconciled with the most favored nation clause, which govern the relations of the countries. This clause appears in our treaty with Austria in almost identi- cal terms with that between the United States and Prussia
 It is probable that congress will bs notified of Austria's protest, and atten- tion will again be called officially to the matter. From the similarity of word- ing between the latest protest and that of the German ambassador 1t is evident that the two countries are acting in concert, and it seems probable that Austria will still further follow Ger many's lead by inaugurating policy of retaliation against the food products oh the United States.

New York Will be Made the Center Ins:e
 of Boston.
 New York. Jan. 1.-The Evening Sun says that the wool men of the city have carried into effect a scheme which will make New York the center of the Is many-sided, involving the building of an immense warehouse for the stor- age of wool, the forming of wool ex- change, the establishment of bank which will be primarily identified with wool interests and the organization of a club which, by bringing wool mer- chants into closer personal relations with each other, will concentrate the trade in this city.
 The warehouse is in process of con- struction, arrangements having been made for organizing and chartering the wool exchange, a banquet has been secured and the wool club, with an enrolled membership of 250, is only waiting quarters to go into full opera tion. When the warehouse is com pleted, which it is expected will be about May 1 of this year the wool exchange will at once begin work on the ground floor, the bank will move into the building and the club will take possession of the top floor
 Practically the whole of the wool trade of New York is interested in the scheme, which was conceived about two years ago and which began to go into effect in July, 1893, when the New York Wool Warehouse company was incorporated with a capital of $100,000.
