NOOre-Laing Scandal nt LeavcnwOrth

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Dec. 6.-Interest
in the case wherein Crawford Moore, jr., Is
being tried on the charge of assault with
intent to kill, on Major John NJ. Laing, was
revived when a transcript of the case was
filed in the district court. Major Laing
who is one of the wealthiest men in this Sec
ton, IT will be remembered, was unduly init
mate with Mrs. Moore for many years
Moore seemed Indifferent to the sit
uation until few weeks ago
when, after an alteration on the street, he
shot Major Lang, but not dangerously while
the latter was escaping UP stairway.
The sensational features of the transcript
filed yesterday are number Of letters writ
ten by Major Laing to Crawford Moore's
wife. They implicated, by innuendo, at least,
some of the best known people of Leaven-
worth. Kansas City and Omaha. In this

POWERS MUST PnoCED WITH CARE.
Might Provoke n Religious War with
Terrible Consequences.

| ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Dec. 6.-In an inter
| view today Andrew ID. White, eX-mnster to
| Russia. said when asked his opinion on the
| Turkiss-A Armenian question: There is a
widespread demand in America, arising from
| the reports of the Armenian ourages that
| the sultan be summarily dealt with and de-
| posed by the powers. To do this without
taking preliminary precautions would be to
invite the most terrible massacre Of the
| nineteenth century. Unless prevented, the
sultan would certainly escape into Asia Minor,
raise the standard of Mahomet and call the
faithful to a war of determination. The
massacres reported from Armenia are slight
compared with the butchery that would fol-
low. Scarcely a Christian in the confines of
Mohammedanism could escape. The slaugh-
ter would be we'll nigh universal. The Tursk
had never a genius for civilization, but they
are, when inspired by the fanatcism of re-
ligion. among the bravest fighters in the
world.
This is my plan for the solution OF tha
question: Let the powers depose the sultan
and place on the throne some able man con-
nected with the royal family Of Russia.
Then united Europe guarantee absolutely the
independence Of such government from out
side interference Fortunately there are two
men in Europe today who would suit the
emergency. Primarily my choice would be
the Grand Duke Alexander, who married the
sister OF the present czar. Alexander visited
the Worlds fair at Chicago and is a man OF
ability and liberal IDEAS. The other avail
able candidate for the Turkish throne is
King George of Greece, who is an uncle OF
the Russian czar.
II believe, too" continued Mr.. White
THAT the European nations should be given
some share of the spois of the east in order
to maintain the stability OF a Turkish govern
ment such as suggested, to protect the boun-
daries OF the new empire and to preserve
peace and order Let Russia, for instance
have full swing in Armenia: give Syria 10
France; let Englands title to Egypt be con-
irmed. Austria should be allowed Salonicl
for a Mediterranean seaport and Italy might
in return be given Trieste, on the Adriatic
