sizes there have learned that in the
massacre at Marash November Is 900
persons were killed. The Christian
quarters of the town were burned from
three points. A letter received describ-
ing previous massacres SAYS that be-
fore it commenced the town crier or
dered the Christian shops TO be opened

that the pillage and murder began The

1t would seem that while the Turk
ish ministers are apparently in favor
of granting the frmans and allowing
the entrance of more warships in the
Bosphorus. the palace party, priests
chamberlains and others, who are the
real advisers of Abdul Hamid, are op
posed to it as calculated to lower the
dignity of the sultan
The threatened advent of the extra
guard ships is regarded by the Mussul
mans as nothing less than a warlike
demonstration before Constantinople
and they are growing uneasy. This il
a dangerous feature of the affair, ano
is adding to the anxiety felt on al
sides.

inadequate means of transportation,

blocked with drifts of wet snow, while
the cable lines made little Roadway
against the frozen slush, and the trolley
wires of the electric roads iay in tangled
masses In the streets, shutting OF the
motive power of the cars and menacing
the lives of men and horses. The tele-
graph and telephone companies threw
up their hands and admitted that they
had gone out of business-temporaril
at least-and even the fire alarm4ines,
which are carefully guarded against
any ordinary contingency, had, gone
down in the general wreck, and orders
were carried to the various engine

Monroe and Adams Methods.
Monroe addressed Congress "Fellow-citi-

closing before his signature.

When General McCook was secretary Of
the Senate he had sort of official scrap
book prepared, containing one original
manuscript message from each of the Presi-
dents, including Washington to Cleveland,
whose first term closed the first century Of
Presidents.
This book is part of the official records
of the Senate, and is preserved in the sec
retary'S Office. In it is the most striking
example of nepotism in American official
life. the message of John Adams nominal
ing his son, John Quincy, to be minister
to Prussia.
How Grant Outwitted the Reporters.
In 1t, too, is the message of Grant nomi-

of how he kept these nominations from be-

they were actually presented to the Senate.
He was SO bent on outwitting the papers
| In this that he had the message written
with blank space for the names before
each of the offices to be filled, and put the
names in himself. He then carried the
paper in his own pocket until he was ready
to send 1t to the Senate. Sending it, he
sealed 1t in an envelope addressed to the
secretary of the Senate, so that even his
private secretary. who carried the message
to the Senate, could not know who the
cabinet were beforehand. Grant carried
the paper in his pocket several days. and

A Boston Irishman. who is now dead. was
more than likely to be seen at the funeral

he might not chance to know the deceased

which, by its length. proclaimed itself to be
that of a fellow countryman.
AS he waited for the carriages to creep
by, some delay stopped its slow progress,
and seeing that the hack opposite him had
but one inmate. he stepped in.
Soon after the carriage had again start
