WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O-Rev. T.
Dewitt Talmage. the noted Presby-
terrain divine. who has just begun his
ministerial labors in Washington. to-
night confirmed the statement pub
lished in New York that he had re-
fused to go to Armenia to distribute
relief funds on account of the condi-
ton of affairs there, and the refusal
of the Turkish government to furnish
protection. He reviewed the affair in
an interview, in the course of which he
bitterly denounced the porte and said
it had fomented the massacres, and
retarded the work of relief
THE Turkish government, he said,
lis a miserable mass of corruption. Its
workings are rotten from top to core,
and the whole government ought to be
blotted off the face of the earth. The
condition of affairs in Armenia is hor-
rible. and the government is RESPONSE
BILE for the fearful atrocities"
DR.. Talmage said he was asked to
conduct the work of distributing the
relief work by Louis Klopsch, of the
Christian Herald, of which the doctor
is the editor. Through the medium OF
the state department, the Turkish gov
eminent was asked if it would give
him an escort while engaged in the
work. The porte in reply asked what
points he intended to visit and it was
Immediately informed of four points
in different parts of Armenia. This in

desired to have the funds sent to it.
and that it would attend to the diStri-
button. This. probably it planned to

formed a, diplomatic refusal of the
porte to furnish an escort.
Then DIR. Talmage announced that
in the absence of official protection it
would be too hazardous a work for him
to undertake.
1T is utter foolhardiness," he said,
'for anyone to go into that country, eS-
pecially with large amount of money
without some escort, or pledge Of pro-
lection. One man with Q gun on his
shoulder would have been sufficient to
guarantee protection, as the Turks
have a strong respect amounting to a
superstitious worship for their govern
ment, and the influences of such es-
cort would have been sufficient.
''W w. Howard, who has gone there
now. was acquainted with the region.
He was reported killed, but the cable
today shows he is Stin alive, and has

Seen on the Spot.

BOSTON, Nov. SO.-An Armenian
resident in Kharpoot, Turkey, in a
letter to this city describes the pre-
monltions of trouble previous to the
recent massacre at that place. He
says:
"A hostler coming from market
passed a man with a sword, who made
a motion as if to draw it, remarking
to another Turk: DO you suppose we
shall be able to use it tOday?'
1.-The incident being reported, the Ar
menians shut up their shops. The as
surance of the authorities and of the
chief hoia of the city was given that
no harm should be done. Some took
courage and opened their shops, and
their example was followed by nearly
all, with the latter horrible result.
News of the acceptance by the sui
tan of the proposed scheme of reform
came by letter from Consul Jewett, Of
Sivas, at the time that this affair be-
gan, four days after he had sent the
news by telegraph.
1.-THE Turkish officials withheld the
message and telegraphed to Constan-
tinople that such telegram had been
sent and asked if they should deliver
it. The answer came back Deliver
and they would learn in regard to the
matter by post 4"

Following the repeated threats OF
forcing passage of the Dardanelles If
the sultan persisted in refusing to all
low extra gunboats to enter the Bos-

out against the demands of the rep
resentatives of Great Britain, Russia,

stated. and that the dissenting powers
were behind Abdul Hamid in the step
he has taken.

SEA AND SAIL.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA dispatch to
the World from London says:
Public interest in the Valkyrie-De-
fender dispute has been increased by
an article in the Nineteenth Cntury
by A T. CUTLER Couch, an experienced
yachtsman as well as distinguished
literary man. He says:
"F'or such an acoustic Dunraven
can have but one eXcuse-that would
be he should prove it beyond the pos
sibility of a doubt"
He adds that the only conceivable
way in which it can be proved is by
Lord Dunraven obtaining trustworthy
evidence in corroboration of his charge
from members of Defenders crew.
Lord Dunraven, in his opinion, loves
the crew of Defender one of two
things-prompt conviction or prompt
apology"
The Chronicle surmises that unless
Lord Dunraven proves or apologies,
it may not be possible to have a fu-
ture race unless the Prince of Wales
should throw Lord Dunraven over and
challenge himself

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3O.-Sixty-two
members of the Democratic minority
met in caucus this afternoon to form
the Democratic organization and re-
nominate their officers in the last Con-
gresS.
Mr.. Culberson, of Texas, who has
held his seat since the Forth-fourth
Congress. was elected chairman of the
Democratic caucus for the Fifty-fourth
Congress to succeed Mr.. Holman, of
Indiana. Messrs. Robinson, of Louisi-
ana, and Rusk, of Maryland, were
elected caucus secretaries.
Ex-Speaker Crisp was named for a
third term by Mr.. Richardson, of Ten
nessee, and the nomination was car
Tied unanimously with considerable
enthusiasm The other officers of the
B1fty-fourth Congress were selected as
the Democratic slate without opposi-
ton. Selection of the three or four
minor officers whom the minority is
permitted to name was postponed.
The Future Policy.
In nominating Mr.. Crisp, Mr. Rich
hr1son touched upon the future policy
of the party. He said that he had
been selected to formally name one
who had already been named in the
hearts of all. He spoke of the election
5TBfty-fourth Congress by the 240
Anocrats after a sharp and brilliant
contest, of his election a second time
by the 215 Democrats of the Fifty
third Congress. and said they had met
a third time to honor him. "a small
band of struggling patriots with full
knowledge that our declaration will be
5mpotent'
Why" he continued, 'this is not the
occasion or the place to inquire. 1 be-
1ieve it is not because any great num-
Der of those who have heretofore fol-
lowed the Democratic standard have
deserted their flag. Our party has
heretofore buried in forgotten graves
every political organization that ever
commended against it, and we have an
abiding faith that it will do the same
with its present great rival To do so,
all strife should cease in our own
family, and we should choose as lead
ers in all the states and districts such
fearless and patriotic Democrats as the
gentlemen we are about to nominate
We should inscribe on our banner the
policy and principles of the great
triumphant Democracy; Law aside all
new tangled doctrines and continue the
battle for a reduction of taxation on
the people; give them cheaper clothing
and supplies; to broaden and make bet
ter markets for the products of our
farms and manufactures; to reduce
the public expenses; for greater sim
plcity in our national affairs; for home
rule and local self-government for an
ample circulating medium for our
trade and commerce; for sound money,
the gold and silver coinage of The con-
stitution and then the Democracy will
be again triumphant and the country
will be redeemed and regenerated.'

prevailed and there was no tendency
to bring the financial question forward.

can Side.

can Side.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 3O.-A number
of Republican senators, including
Messrs. Hansbrough, Pettigrew, Clark,
Carter. Mantel, Dubois, Shoup. Chand-
Ter, Gallinger and Proctor held an in
formal meeting last night and decided
tc advocate an attempt at reorganiza-
ton of the Senate in the caucus to
be held next Monday. They also pro-
nounced in favor of the distribution of
the appropriation bills among the va
iouS Senate committees and also dis
cussed the committee assignments of
senators. 1t was made evident that
the western men would stand together
to secure the control of the committees
which deal especially with western
questions. The scheme for the enlarge
ment of the finance committee also Sc
cured the favorable endorsement of
The meeting and the opinion was eX-
pressed that Senators Cameron and
Platt should be selected to fill the two
places which will be at the command
of the Republicans in case they re-
organize the Senate and the committee
is enlarged.
Senator Dubois as soon as was prac-
ticable after the converting of the Sem
ate, will present the resolution which
he gave last session for the distribu-
ton of the appropriation bills. His
plan is to distribute these bills as fol-
lows:
The agricultural bill to the commit
tee on agriculture; consular and diplo-
matte to foreign relations; army and
military academy bills to military af-
fairs; naval to naval affairs; postoffice
to postoffic; Indian to Indian affairs;
river and harbor to commerce; fQrti-
fications to coast defense; district of
Columbia to the district of Columbia
committee. and the pension bill to pen
sions, leaving only the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial, the sundry civil
and the deficiency bills to be dealt
with by the committee on appropria-
tions. The proposition undoubtedly
will be vigorously antagonized.

she will take up her residence in the
east. Colonel Gustav Pabst, her hus-
band, has not been here since a few
days after the horse whipping. He
got leave of absence from his duties
of quartermaster of the Fourth regi-
ment, W. N. G., for a period of six
months. 1t was given out that he
went west. Since then it has been
learned that he went to South Dakota,
where he will remain untfl-he secures

the suit. This will dispense with the
scandal which might attend the bring

not fight the case if her demands for
adequate alimony are granted.
