5000 Armenlans Slaughtered.

There was published in the daily papers
of Thursday letter from the European
manager of the United Press which con-
tains a startling statement from an Ameri-
can Christian about the Turkish slaughter
and robbery of the Armenians. This
statement the correspondent believes to be
impartial and reliable. 1t says, in sub
stance, that since the beginning of October
a region in Eastern Turkey 10000 miles in
area has been given up to massacre and pill
lage. In the provinces comprised in this
area not less than $4,000 to II, 200 Armen-
ians have been killed by order of the
Turkish government, or with its full
knowledge and approval, and 200, 600 peo-
pie are reduced to want and beggary. As
showing that this slaughter was premedi-
tated it is stated that few days before
the slaughter began the Moslem villagers
about Erzeroum began focking into that
city eager to buy empty gunny sacks, and
the Armenian dealers began to suspect
some uncanny secret behind this sudden
demand. When the massacre began it was
found that the sacks were wanted to carry
away the loot from the Armenian quarter
of The city to the Turkish villages.

Chandler to Cleveland.

the United States: "Q), by injunction
from the courts, (2), by an order of the in
terstate commerce commission, or (3), by
an indictment of the individuals signing
the same. 1t can also be easily stopped by
a vigorous appeal from you to Mr.. j. Pier
pont Morgan, whose power over the nine
governors of the nine trunk lines is as alb
solute as it was over the bond syndicate.
1t cannot be possible that you intend to
take upon your administration the respon-
siblity of fastening upon your burdened
and helpless people this the hugest trust
the world ever saw or that was ever con-
ceived of, when one earnest word from you
to your fresh attorney general, your am

your omnipotent banker friend will para

To encourage holders of gold to exchange
it for greenbacks, and thus help to main
tain the treasury reserve, the secretary of
the treasury has issued notice that the
government will pay express charges on
all gold sent to the treasury for this pur-
pose and also on the bills sent in exchange.
Ex-Gov. Flower of New York set the en-
ample by taking $3.50 in gold to the New
York sub treasury and making the ex-
change, and since then upward of $27, 900

is estimated that our people have $500, 600.

The postmaster general says in his an
nual report that the annual deficiency in
carrying on the the department is due to
the cost of transporting free matter and to
abuses of the privileges accorded to second
class matter which were primarily intended
to benefit bona fide newspapers and period
icals, and their readers. 1t appears that
ten states in the Union show surplus of
postal earnings, and Vermont is one of
them New York leads in these surplus
earnings with the handsome figures of 49,
797,602.6S. Massachusetts comes second
with profit to the government of Sl,517,-

with deficit approaching So, 900, 900, while
Kansas and Nebraska follow with deficits
of over 81, 100000 each.

A trial of the torpedo boat Cushing was
made off the Rhode Island coast the other
night, with the big battleship Maine as the
vessel which the little craft was trying to
attack or evade. Twice the Cushing sue
ceeded in getting within striking distance
and made her presence known by a rocket,
though four of the strongest search-lights
in the navy were sweeping the water for
her. What made the test more decisive
was the fact that the Gushing could not be
seen, although she was in the full glare of
the lights, her small size, and dull paint,
the color of the water, combining to rem
der her invisible.

Exports of gold on Saturday and We'd
nesday, about S7,OOO,OOO in all, reduced the
government reserve to a little less than
SSl,OO0,OO0. The great slump in Kafiir
mining stocks, and the Eastern troubles,
causing weakness in foreign exchanges and
realization on American securities held
abroad, are mentioned by treasury officials
as reasons for this drain. But the real
reason is that under the new tariff and
present business conditions we, as nation,
are buying more than we are selling. The
excess of our imports over our exports dur
ing the first ten months of the present year
was about S125, 100000 greater than in the
corresponding period of last year. The
increase of imports in the single item of
woolen goods amounted to nearly $50, 900,
600. The nation has to do just what an
individual has to do when the balance is
against him-pay cash in settlement.

Returns from the Bering sea seal fish
cries have been brought in by the revenue
cutter Bear. The season has closed and
the Bear reports that nearly 10000 pelts,
-atleast 80, 900 of them female have been
taken by the spear hunters, in addition to
those taken by the North American Com
mercial company, with which the United
States has a contract. The slaughter of
the females left more than 27,0O0 pups to
starve to death on the shores of the Priby-
Low islands. At this rate the Alaska seal
fishery will soon cease to be disturbing
issue in international politics. AS this is
the last resource for seaskin coats, the
wearers of those articles may expect to see
them go out Of style in a few years, as
completely as buffalo robes have already
gone, and for the same reason.

An Opera House Burned.

Decatur, ILL.,, Nov. AT o'clock to-
night the Powers opera house was dis
covered to be on fire. Then the indica-
tions were that there was only a small
blaze, but evidently there had been a
long start before the fire was discovered.
In two hours the opera house, erected
five years ago at a cost of 100000, was
totally destroyed. The flames found their
way through into the basement of the
Fisk furniture store, adjoining, and then
into the store of the Lynn & Scruggs
Dry Goods and Carpet company. At II
o'clock there seemed little prospect of
saving anything in that block The opera
house block was occupied by Whitney's
drug store, Keck & Weigand's cigar
store, Durfee Implement house and the
Malone Abstract and Title company
The Milken block, new steel fire proof
building is being completed just across
the street. That building was looked
upon to stop the progress of the fire,
which at II o'clock is beyond the control
of the local department. The loss at this
time will reach in the neighborhood of
100000. Engines and supply of hose on
a special train has arrived from Spring
field. Bloomington has been asked for
aid, but has not responded With the aid
of the Springfield men there are hopes
that the Lynn & Scruggs store may be
in part saved. That firm carries an in
surance of S102,0 The opera house was
insured for only $25, 900.

SOME OF THE SILVER RECOVERED.


London, Nov 4.-The police of Mile
End have seized a van laden with car
pets and cushions, among which were
thirteen complete ingots of silver and
parts of two others, being portion of
thirty-one ingots valued at f4900. the
property of the Midland Railway compa-
ny, that were stolen from van in Ossut-
sun street, st. Prancas, on September
25 last. The occupants of the van seized
today Barrat and Gray We're arrested
The latter is apparently of good social po-
sition. The driver of the van was al
lowed to escape. 1t is presumed that he
was in league with the police in their ef-
forts to recover the silver. Only seven
of the ingots are now missing.
Alexander Sarti, an electric platter, who
was in the employ of Ellington & Co.,
silversmiths, ETC., and Henry Bailey
were arrested some time ago in connec-
tion with the theft. The silver was in
transit from the railway station when
the man and boy in charge of the van
in which the transfer was being made
left the vehicle and went into a res
taurant to get breakfast. While they
were inside the van was driven off. An
hour later the van was found by the po-
lice a mile from the restaurant, but the
silver was gone. Some of the ingots
were traced to Sarti and Bailey and they
were taken into custody.

New Coal Deposits Discovered-A Light
House in Danger.
ST Johns, N. F., Nov. 4.-The revenue
cutter Fiona, with the nine Burrin SNUG
glers sentenced to Imprisonment, arrived
here today and the smugglers were placed
in Jail. The smugglers have raised num-
Der of knotty legal points that will prob
ably have the effect of causing a reversal
OF their convictions by the supreme court
and of their escaping punishment alto
gether.
Harbor Grace island, on which is sit
uated one of the principal lighthouses
of the colony party, foundered on Satur-
day. 1t is said that the lighthouse will
collapse in the next northeast gale.
Statistics of surprising Importance are
presented in connection with the newly
discovered coal deposits. They cover a
total area of twelve by six miles and
consist of three distinct troughs, one nf
which is ten miles long and mile wide
The deposits are within forty miles of
the water and are quite adjacent to ship
ping passage through the st. Lawrence.
1t is said that the deposits will greatly
improve the colonys future. 1t is es-
timated that the quantity of coal in this
trough is nearly 100000 tons, and the
others are supposed to be equally rich.
The find will do much to extricate the col
ony from its present embarrassments If
1t can be worked adyantageously.

that the United States and England in
tended to take joint action in Turkey
looking to the protection of American and
British missionaries, United States AM
bassador Bayard said today that nothing
had been done through the American
embassy, but he was hopeful that some
thing would be done upon the lines sug-
gested, as the American schools in Tur-
key were the best educat tional institu-
tions in that country. Anyhow, he said,
joint action should be taken upon the
grounds of humanity.
The SalVadorean minister had long
interview with Ambassador Bayard today.

A 14-Year-Old Boy, While Drunk, Killed
Another Boy.
New Orleans, Nov. A remarkable
occurrence is reported from Gretna, in
Jefferson parish, just across the river
from the southern part of this city. A
14-year-old' boy named Joseph Hinyup
found a quart bottle of whisky. He
drank a quantity of the stuff and became
much intoxicated. He went home, got
his fathers gun and went on the street.
He met his brother, who is 10 years old,
and told him he intended to shoot a boy
named John Walters, whose parents re-
sided on the next block. Young Hin
yup's brother paid no attention to this
and went away. Shortly afterward the
intoxicated boy loaded a gun and went
about the town looking for Walters,
whom he found after a hunt. Hinyup
told Walters he intended to shoot him.
When Walters attempted to run away
young Hinyup fired upon him, inflicting
a wound which Walters died from in a
few minutes. The young murderer was
Jailed.

Whisky Trust Cases Dismissed.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Deputations were
taken by counsel for Nelson Morris and
]. Greenhut, signed by counsel of the re-
organization committee, dismssing all
the suits against members of the old
whisky trust, including those against
Samuel Woolner Greenhut and Morris
for an alleged discrepancy in the price for
certain distillery properties, which was
put down on the books as having been
paid. The order of Judge Showalter
made some time today was changed 50
as to include the dismissal of this suit
This is the formal ending of the whisky
trust fight, which was practically ended
more than month ago, and sets at rest
any fears that may have been entertained
that the peace patched up would not last
until officially sanctioned by legal forms.
