Terrell Doing His Duty.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. - Considering
the terribly disturbed conditions in Ar
nenia. IL is believed at the state DEPART
ment that Minister Terrell hns been re-
mnrkably successful In his efforts to pro-
tect the American missionaries and teach
ers. So far as the misfortunes Of the ma
tive Christians are concerned, while they
may properly excite the sympathy of the
entire Christian world, tho state depart.
ment claims there is no warrant for inter-
ference on the part or the United States,
the Armenians being Turkish subjects,
for whose religious freedom tho great
European powers are responsible. Any
interposltlon by the United States would
be not only In violation Of our traditions,
but might be used, II Is said, rs n power
full argument TO justify European inter
ference In the affairs OF American rcpub-
lies.
In reference TO rumors 10 the effect that
Minister Terrell has rendered his resigna-
ton, ID may be stated that the department
OF state Is thoroughly satisfied with his
conduct In every particular; that 10 has
lent all possible support TO him, and that
no reason is known that would Justify the
assumption TINT he intends to desert his
post In the present crisis.

canyon, both ends Of which were held by
troops, who hemmed In the Indians, while
others went TO the top of the mountain
and rolled stones on the redskins. Those
who managed 10 escape from what they
thought an earthquake, We're shot down
In cold blood. IL is calculated that 200
indians were killed, not a solitary one es-
Gaping death.
