Matter Which Will BE Discussed by
Educators.
SIOUX CIT-, Ia, Nov. lS.-An effort
is being made by prominent Iowa edu-
Gators for convention of teachers and
state and county superintendents of
schools all over the Northwest to dis
cuss the question Of Indian education
in general, and particularly the advisa-
bility of abolishing the Indian schools
and taking the pupils into the schools
attended by the whites. The subject
was first brought to the attention of the
interested parties by the last annual re-
port of DIR. w. N. Hailman, superin-
tendent Of Indian schools. The ma
jority of educators, at least in Iowa, in
cline to the opinion that no harm can
come to white children by the adoption
Of the plan, while the Indians would be
undoubtedly greatly benefited by it.
The convention, if 1t is decided to hold
one, will take place during the coming
winter at somo central point, probably
in this state.

cial from Bogota dated Nov. Is says
Heavy firing in the barracks drew an
immense crowd which was ordered tc
disperse. The crowd was so large that
it was impossible to move quickly and
the impatient officers ordered the troops
to charge bayonets, which they did,
but, meeting with resistance, and five
shots being fired from the crowd, the
troops began firing upon the people. A
regular battle ensued and the crowd,
being unarmed, were obliged to fee,
leaving % killed and wounded The

Further News Regarding the Massacre
In Northern Syria.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. IL, via Sofia,
Nov. 1S.-The news from the different
provinces Of ASIA Minor continues to be
grave, confirming beyond doubt the
impression which has prevailed here for
a long time past, that the movement
has now assumed proportions which
have placed it beyond the control Of the
Turkish authorities, even if the latter
were really deslrous Of Furnishing the
Mussulmans for massacreing Arme-
mans. In fact it is considered very
doubtful whether the Turkish troops
would fire on Mussulmans if they should
be ordered to do So 1t is now known
that there are
About Eight Hundred Victims
Of the Kharput massacre and that eight
of the IL buildings belonging to the
American missionaries were sacked and
burned in spite Of the assurances Of the
porte to the United States ambassador,
MIR. Alexander w. Terrell, that the
lives and property of the Americans
would be protected, and although it was
announced that the Turkish gendarmes
had been detailed to guard them. The
missionaries, however, escaped and are
now in place of safety.
Mr. Terrell has notified the porte that
the United States will hold it RESPONSE

The inhabitants around Kharput are
in a state of great distress from hunger

This outbreak is regarded here as be

been believed to be the case. This put

At Sivas and elsewhere, the Turk
have claimed that the Armeaians wer

simply defended themselves when at
tackled by the latter. The weakness o
this plea can be judged from the fac
that during the recent massacre at silva

THE WORDS WE'RE AOT1ONABLE
Decision Of the Minnesota Supreme Court
ON Blacklistiug" Case.

Decision Of the Minnesota Supreme Court
on Blaoklistiug" Case.
ST.. PAUL, Nov. 18.-The state supreme
court has handed down an opinion by
Chief Justice Start of considerable in
terest. 1t grows out Of the great A. R.
U. str ike of 1894.
John Wilkes, IL years old, was EN-.
ployed as a machinist in the shops OF
the Chicago Great Western Railway
company at South St. Paul. He had
been employed there two years prior to
June q, 1894, upon which date he was
thrown out of employment on account
of the strike. Following the conclusion
of the strike on July II, the original
complaint, on file in the Ramsey county
district court, alleges that Wilkes was
blacklisted by G. Shields, as superin-
tendent of the road.
Was a Dangerous Agitator.
The complaim does not say in 50
many words that Wilkes was black
listed, but it does state that Shields
caused to be posted in the South St.
Paul machine works bulletin, bearing
among others, the name of John Wilkes,
which had printed on its face words
charging Wilkes with being "A dan
gerous, able and seditious agitator, and
responsible for great deal Of the
trouble at South st. Paul" Wilkes
considered himself damaged through
this publication to the extent of $50, 900,
and through his guardian, James
Wilkes, he brought an action in the
district court Of Ramsey county against
Shields to recover that amount. Shields
demurred to the complaint ON the
ground that it did not state sufficient
facts.
Words of Otis Were Wise.
The demurrer was argued before
Judge Otis, and on Oct. "a, 1894. He is
sued an order overruling the demurrer,
in which he used some very forcible

1t has now become state institu-
tion in which every citizen OF Texas
will feel deep interest 1t has passed
through the preliminary stages OF in
ception and agitation and is now de-
veloping rapidly under the genial in
fiuence OF public favor. Enthusiasm in
regard TO the matter has been growing
rapidly all over the state for some
time past and in Fort Worth II is the
one theme OF discussion ABOVE an uIH-
ers. People OF all classes are taking
stock. thus like the canvassing COM
inittees demonstrating their faith by
their works. The enthusiasm is simply
immense and its effect is demonstrated
IN the successful accomplishment of
the first important step of the under
taking.
The canvass will now be continued
with renewed vigor and confident as
surance of success surprising the fond
est antcipatlons of the projectors when
they first began to agitate the matter.
Inc movement has now gained such
force that It cannot but be productive

begging, If. indeed, It is not all taken
up In short time.
Nothing now remains TO be done but
