statement OF nm Armenian
by n College President.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Secretary Gresh-
am has just received a note from United
States Minister Terrell, at Constantinople,
inclosing the following communication adj
dressed to him by George Il. Herrick.
president of the Anatolia College, dated
"Constantinople Bible House. Jan. 12:'
"Sir-My attention has just been called to
a published statement said to have been
obtained from one DiogeneS Manesse to
the effect that the outrages committed by
Turkish soldiers within the gates of An
atolia College made it impossible for him
to stay there; that some twenty of his
classmates were killed by Turkish SOL
diers by being drowned in the RIVER, &C
cidentally shot, etc. On. this beg leave
to remark first. Diogenes left Anatolia
College in 1858 because his presence was
no longer desired BY the faculty Of the
college,; second, all our pupils have always
been protected within the college grounds:
third. no Turkish soldiers have ever COM
mitted any cutrages, small or great, on
the premises of the Anatolia College and no
complaint OF their conduct has ever been
made except once, concerning the burning
OF a building on oar grounds In February.
1893, and even then no person was hurt.
The statement attributed to D.ogenes is
an unmitigated lie throughout"

MUNCIE, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE Big -Four
Railroad Company had a wreck last even

Mitchell will be laid up some time with his
injuries. East-bound freight train No. 80
ran into the rear end of freight train No..

legged, had no f1agman out. Engineer
Mitchell whistled for brakes, reversed his
engine and jumped. He fell and injured
himself quite severely, but not dangerously.
The caboose and five box cars We're de-
molished. Railroad men say the reason for
the recent fatal wreck at Yorktown, the
one yesterday and others recently, is the
direct result of the company letting go the
old men who belong to labor organizations
and filling their places on the trains with
greenhOrnS.

OF tax collector in a county under township
organization" the following opinion has
been given from the Attorney-generars Of

Section 8. of the Constitution of Illinois. is
a citizen of as full political power and
right as is a male citizen of the United
states above twenty-one years. The LSgis-
lature can create minor offices. such as
township officers, school directors, etc. in
order TO carry on the government of the
State, as contemplated by the Constitution.
These offices are legislative, not constitu-
tional. and may be held by women, pro-
vided the Legislature authorizes them to
do so. The offices of township assessor and
collector are of the legislative class and. as
the Legislature has not authorized women
to hold them, they cannot do So"

Terre Haute Wants n New Sewer Law.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Feb. The City
Council last night passed a resolution to
send q committee to the Legislature to ask
for the passage of a law by which this city
may make a general assessment to create
a fund for building sewers. Under the law
of 1893 the expense of sewer construction is
borne by the abutting property owners. and
as the particular sewer contemplated is for
more or less general benefit and the abut-
ting property could not stand the assess
ment of $500, 900 it would cost to build it, it
is hoped the Legislature will enable the city
to make a general assessment. The Council
voted down the proposition to ask the
Legislature to take the preliminary step to
submit to the people of the State an amend
ment to the Constitution by which cities
might incur an, indebtedness in excess of the
present limit of 2 per cent. of the tax valua-
ton. The majority thought this proposition
would meet with too much opposition. and
if legislation affecting only Terre Haute
were asked the Legislature would more like
ly grant it. The proposed law will read
"for cities of more than 10000 and less than
5000 population" which will include only
Terre Haute, and at the same time will
avoid the constitutional objection of being
class or special legislation.
