Representative William z. Barrett Of
Massachusetts, offered resolution i'm
peaching Thomas F. Bayard, ex-secre-
tary of state, and now United States
ambassador at the court of st. James,
fer high crimes and misdemeanors.
The grounds advanced in the resolution
were the utterances of Mr.. Bayard, de-
livered before the Edinburgh, Scotland,
Philosophical institute, Nov. Z. In this
speech Mr.. Bayard spoke of "protec-
ton" as form of Estate socialism, y
and said it had done more to foster
class legislation" breed inequality"
corrupt public life," lower the tone
of the national representation" "di-
vorce ethics from politics" than any
other single cause. Such reflections on
the government policy by United
States ambassador before a foreign
audience, the resolution recited, were
in serious disregard of his proprieties
and obligations and calculated to injure
our national reputation. 1t concluded
by instructing the foreign affairs com.
mittee, which was empowered to send
persons and papers, to investigate and
report, 'by impeachment or other

been preceded by one by his col

ConstantinopIe, Dec. i6.-The British
vice-consul at Van tells CHASTITY story
of the situation in that city He says
that thousands Of women and girls are
wandering through the snow-piled
streets without food or shelter, and
barefoot, their ravishers having left
them only a chemise and some of them
only cloth to cover their nakedness.
An eyewitness of the barbarity OF
the massacre at Kaisarich on Nov. 30
says that men and women were liter
ally hacked to pieces to the number of
several hundred. Some of the Turks
say that thousand were Iilled..
Saturday afternoon several thousand
fierce fellows came from the villages in
the vicinity. Many women were abb
Quoted. The Armenians of Kaisarich
were always quiet and law-abiding. All
this information is in the hands OF
the ambassadors, with names and
dates.
The Zeitoun tragedy Is approaching
an end. At the Semanlik Saturday the
sultan's secretary informed the Euro
peans that the Zeitouniis committed
horrible outrage; that they had de-
scended en- mssse from the hills and
burned the Moslem village of Marlia
and killed every inhabitant.
This is foul lie invented by Izzet
Bey, the clever Arabic scoundrel who
now rules the sultan and the empire.
He maintains his power by pandering
to the sultan's thirst for Armenian
blood. Everybody is aware that Eel
toun was surrounded by troops and
bashi-bazouks and that such sortie is
impossible. The object of the false
hood is to ALLEVIATE sympathy from the
Armenians. This means that the doom

punish the perpetrators of them. Th>
Armenians are in a state of utter dis
pair over their situation.
The ambassadors of the powers here
are finding that ii is useless to address
communications to the Porte on this
subject, as the sultan is convinced that
the European concert is mere feint.
Although the immediate cause of the
recent widespread panic here was the
quarrel between two Armenians, it now
appears that a wholesale attack upon
all the Armenians in the city, looking
TO their determination, was really pro-
jected on that day. The attack was to
commencsat IL o'clock in the morning,
but the plan was frustrated by the state
of alarm and excitement created by the
quarrel between two Armenians, which
served as warning to the other Ar
menians in the city and caused them
to take refuge in their houses.
Much relief is felt among the friends
of American missionaries over the news
that has been received by United States
Minister Terrell from Aintab, Bitlis,
Karpoot, Marsovan, Caesarea, and Ia
lass, and which contains assurances
that the missionaries at these points
are safe. They are under the protec-
ton of Turkish troops, in accordance
with peremptory demand made upon
the Porte by Minister Terrell. Reports
to Mr.. Terrell from these points, al
though they give the comfol ting assur-
ance that no harm has thus far come
to the missionaries, say that danger
still exists, and convey the impression
that the fear of further outbreaks is by
no means past. Word has also been
received that the American ladies at
Hadjin are safe.

Mr.. Call then addressed the Senate
upon his resolution declaring 1t to be
the duty of the civilized powers-to sup
press the cruelties alleged to be per-
petrated upon the Armenian subjects
of Turkey by Turkish authorities. He
thought that the United States should,
at least, express encouragement to the
civilized powers in the effort they are
making to suppress these outbursts Of
bigotry, superstition, cruelty and
crime. The Senate then adjourned UNI
til Monday.

TO PUSH AMERICAN GOODS.
United States Consul Tringle Makes
Some Suggestions.

Some Suggestions.
Washington, Dec. 16.-United States
Consul Tingle at Brunswick, Germany,
has made some interesting observations
to the state department as to the
method by which the manufacturers OF
the United States may derive most sub
stantial benefits from our consular serv-
ice and give a tremendous impetus to
American trade which is now debarred
from foreign markets through the SUI
perior energy and cooperation of the
British and German traders.
In brief, he suggests that the manu-
facturers of one class of goods through
one of their associations call upon the
state department to procure through
its consuls in selected country full
information as to the kind of products
in their line that might be profitably
introduced To this end, the consuls
are to consult local merchants and
boards of trade. Upon these reports the
manufacturers association would ship
to the chosen points samples of their
goods addressed to the consul, who
would hire at the expense of the ex-

OF the Zeitounlis is sealed. The sultan
means to seize an excuse to order their
determination.
News is daily received here of thou
sands of Armenians who are offered the
choice between Islam and death. At
Marash an Armenian who was ordained
an Anglican clergyman refused the
choice and was killed by slow torture
At Karpoot two Protestants preached
and were murdered for the same cause
At Achme fifty-two persons 6ied as
martyrs to their religion. At Oizoon
large number Of Armenians were cap
tured and led to neighboring Turkish
village, where they were ordered to
change their faith. Fifty of them
rushed into the Euphrates and were
drowned, the Turks shooting them
while they were in the water. At Hob
eighty-five were killed.
The French guard ship Faucon has
arrived here in accordance with the
permission granted by the sultan upon
the demand of the powers, and has
joined the British gunboat Dryad, the
French war vessel Archimede, and the
Austrian gunboat Sebenico, which ar
rived during the week.
The Kurds continue to pillage the Ar
menian villages without opposition
from the helpless inhabitants or from
the authorities. During the last three
weeks 100 villages have been sacked
and seventy men killed. The villages
of Serai, Hazira, Bohazkessen, Hadjik-
ishla, and the Armenian district of
Haisalser have been laid waste. The
village of Lamasguird has been raided
four'times in one week. The authori-
ties have made no attempt whatever to
put stop to the Kurdish raids or to
