Constantinople, October 28.-Anoth-
er terrible massacre of Armenians, ac-
companied by the outraging of women,
is reported to have occurred quite re-
Gently in the Baiburt district between
Erzeroum and Trebizond. According
to the news received here, a mob of
about 500 Musselmans and Lazes, the
great majority Of whom were armed
with Martini-Henry rifles, made an at
tack upon the Armenians inhabiting
several villages Of that vicinity and set
fire to their homes and schools. AS the
Armenians fed in terror from their
dwellings, they were shot down as they
ran and a number of men and women
who were captured by the rioters. it is
added were fastened 10 stakes and
burned alive. The Armenian women
who fell into the hands of the mob it
is also asserted, were outraged and
brutally mutilated It is also asserted
that the churches were desecTated and
the villages pillaged, the cattle and all

ing to the Armenians being carried off
by the maTauders. During the dis
turbance $50 Armenians are reported to
have been killed. The surviving vii
layers applied to the Governor of Bal
burt for protection, who after hearing
their complaint, sent three policemen
to the scene of the massacre, after the
slaughter was ended.
The Turkish officials. it is claimed,
know the ringleaders Of the outbreak,
but apparently no steps have been Ia

The number Of Armenians massacred
at Brzingjan is now said to be several
hundred
The Turks, it is said, have also at
tackled the Armenians in the district
of Gumushdagh, near ThebizOnd, and
have slaughtered many OF them.

Washington, October 2S. The works

Infamous Assaults of Republicans Cpon
Secretary Gresham

Tho general commcndation now be-
ing given tho character Of the late Sec
rotary Gresham has in IL an instructive
lesson. 4 few weeks ago it was Diff
cult to exceed the abuse Of him in
partisan quarters. lie was actuated
by bad motives. in which personal
spite and rcscntments had prominent
part; he blundcrcd incxcusahly in his
foreign policy. and involved the admin
isiration Of which he was a member in
odium rs well as himself: he was by
instinct and by purpose unpatriotic:
disposed to truclSle to European powers
in his foreign policy; was bringing
shame 10 Americans and contempt to
our country by his lack of appreciation
of what was acnomnatcd true Ameri-
cauism. and mis- weak or worse yielding
20 foreign aggression. This latter
charge was made against one Of the
most gallant American soldiers that
the late war produced. No responsible
person Processes to believe any of this
now. Secretary Gresham's death has
brought to his memory instant justice
as far as there Is open expression.
Simple and credulors people. who are
always eager TO believe any wrong Of a
man provided he differs from them in
politics. probably still hold TO their
prejudice. though they have the grace
not 10 declare it, The nearest that
comes TO its appearance in the press is
found in the insinuation that. though
Secretary Gresham had patriotic and
right impulses himself. he was pre-
vented from acting on them 10y Presi-
dent Cleveland. which is really only
another form of attack on the sccre-
tary. though covert and cowardly in
stead of openly abusive.
These accusations have been ex-
posed in their insincerity. and the sub
ject of them is righted in the minds of
the American people. He would have
been compelled to wait much longer
for this. however, had he not met n
premature death. They are withdrawn
partly because there is no political end
10 be gained by continuing them, and
partly from sense Of decency in the
face of death. They are 10y no means
an isolated instance in American pol
