he said: 'It seems to me impracticable to
expect to hold the convention later than
the latter part of June or the beginning of
July, although some may contend for a
later date. If the nominations should be
made in the first week of July it would
mean nominal campaign of four months
and an actual campaign in which the pub
lie would take an interest of less than
three months. The first month or six
weeks of campaign would necessarily be
devoted to preliminary work, in which the
general public would take little or no in
terest."
Mr.. Harrity declined to express an opin-
ion as to the Collins resolution, limiting
the number of persons in the convention
hall to delegates. al:ernates, members of
the National Committee and members of
the press. 1t is generally understood,
however, that he personally favors making
accommodations for reasonable number
of visitors, and that he is convinced that
there is no reason to deviate from the plan
pursued heretofore.

country. We propose to free this country
from European dictation."
In reply to whether the silver-bullion
owners were assisting in this movement,
Mr. Harvey seid:
Not one dollar. Neither are they in
our councils. The people don't appear to
understand that the silver miners are all
bankrupted. except the bankers in the sill
yer States, who own the only paying mines
and the smelters, and they are at heart
against us and sympathize with Wall
street Money is not local question, but
concerns all the people. 1t is as much OF
a necessity as bread or meat. Ii it were an
argument against the free coinage of silver
that it was in the interest of silver miners,
then it would be good argument against
the free coinage of gold (that now exlsts)
that it was in the interest of gold miners
Money is made by law for the benefit OF
commerce and society. The money dealers
who deal in money as crop are trying to
limit the supply and thus give it an en-
hanced value, which means low prices for
all commodities"

PLANS OF SILVER MEN.
General Warner Talks of the Coanin
Con ference.

General Warner Talks of the Coming
Conference.
CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 15.-General A. G..
Warner OF Ohio, the well-known advocate
of free silver, this afternoon held con-
sultation with the officers of the, National
Bimetallic League in regard to the details
OF the conference to be held by the up
holders of free coinage in Washington
January %.
In regard to the objects OF this confer
ence General Warner gave the following
interview to a reporter for The United
Press:
THE object of that January conference
is to take into consideration the situation
at that time and to decide the question OF
calling National convention for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President on the money
issue alone. By that time we will know
when and where the convention of the
leading parties will be held, ard probably
by that time something OF the policy Of
Congress on financial questions will
be disclosed.
"What the January conference will de-
eide cannot beforehand undertake to say.
Many Democrats are hopeful that the Sill
yer forces in that party will yet be able to
control the next convention and wrest the
organization of that party from the hands
of the gold combination of London and
New York. There are also Republicans
who are still hopeful that their party may
yet be induced to espouse the cause OF BIZ
metallism. But however this may turn
out one thing may be relied upon, and that
is that the people of this country will have
an opportunity to in some way express
squarely their views at the ballot-box of
establishing permanently the gold stand
ard in this country or returning to the
constitutional standard OF gold and silve-." Z"
When asked for an expression on the
statements made, that the cause of free
silver is on the wane, General Warner said ::
Notwithstanding the claims of the press
the cause of silver is growing. and the time
is near at hand when New England itself
will be forced by two conditions which are
now pressing upon its interests to take up
this question.
These two questions are our increasing
debt abroad, calling for large expectations
of gold, over and above paying for imports
to pay interest and other foreign charges
accruing annually from past obligations,
which makes it impossible to make pro-
lection to New England industries effect
i've as in the past, or as might be done if
we were out of debt; and, secondly, the
destructive competition with silver using
countries under the advantage which the
divergence between the value of silver
and gold gives to the 60O,00O,0 900 of people
producing under the silver standard
This competition is just beginning to be
felt, and is little understood in this coun-
try, but it is destined to transfer the seat
of many of the great industries of gold
standard countries to such countries as
Chira, Japan and Mexico, and this COM
petition will be more severely felt by
debtor countries under the gold standard
than by countries owing no outside debts. !"

TO TIE UP ALL THE CARS.
Philadelphia Threatened With an
Extensive Strike on Street
Railways.
President Welsh of the Union Trac.
tion Company Refused to Arbi.
trate the Trouble.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. 15.-Unless
the unexpected happens tomorrow will
witness the Inauguration of the greatest
street-railway strike Philadelphia has ever
had. Wiser counsel may prevail among
the employees of the Union Traction Com
pany and they may conclude not to risk
everything upon strike, but from the
temper of the men the possibilities are in
favor of their going out. If this strike
should take place it will practically tie up
the railway transportation system of Phila-
delphia.
The employees of the Union Traction
Company number about 1000 men, and of
this number it is claimed that 4100 belong
to the Amaigamated Association of Street
Railway Employees, and it is further
claimed that if strike is ordered 95 per
cent of the motormen and conductors will
go out.
After the rebuff received yesterday by
the grievance committee from President
Welsh OF the Union Traction Company the
men were hopeless of having any OF their
grievances adjusted. A practically l-day
meeting was held to-day by the grievance
committee. Hiram D. Lutz, who from all
appearances is professional agitator, as
he seems to have no other employment, is
chairman OF this committee. Lutz and
other members of the committee favor
striking.
National President w. D. Malone came
here to-day from New York. Mr.. Malone
counseled making another appeal to
Welsh.
Accordingly Malone addressed letter
to Welsh, asking him if he would submit
the grievances of the company's employe 8
to arbitration. Mahones messenger bear
ing the letter met Welsh on the street, and
the latter thrust the epistle into his
pocket and said he would reply when he
had time to look at it.
From Welsh's course in the entire con-
troversy it is probable that he will refuse
to recognize the Amalgamated Associa-
ton, and if he makes this reply the men
will strike, they say. II they do strike and
successfully take out as many men as they
claim, the situation will be most serious
Thousands of people depend upon the rail-
ways to reach their daily occupation from
long distances, and as the Union Traction
Company controls every line in the city
but one, the consequent embarrassment of
tying up the cars would be enormous.

LOOTING MANY VILLAGES.
While Kurds Raid for Plunder the Turks
Commit Mssrder.

BOSTON, NJ ASS, Dec. 1.-two letters
have been received in this city, one de-
scribing the situation in Harpoot, Eastern
Turkey, Immediately before the recent
massacre there and the other the mas
sacre itself. The first letter says:
THE first excitement about the Turks
died out, and tranquility was pretty well
restored when the Dersim Kurds began to
plunder the villages right and left. Some
six villages have been plundered III the
immediate vicinity of Harpoot the last
one within two hours of the city. The
whole city is tossed with apprehension:
expecting an attack from the Kurds.
t'For more than week the Kurds
had been attacking villages, and within
the last few days they had plundered half
dozen villages on this side of the, river.
1.-THE Governor of Malatia has tele-
graphed here that 1000 Kurds have come
there and that he cannot cope with
them; that he throws the responsibility
upon the Harpoot Government. The
leading men of Arabkir went to the Gov
ernor and asked for protection, but they
were treated with contempt. And the
worst of it all is that in every place with
out exception the Kurds claim that the
Government sanctions them and that they
have authority for all they are doing.
This Government stands indicted of the
awful crime of wholesale destruction OF
Christians throughout the whole land.
The Kurds have been driven across the
river. There is an ugly element in the
city, but the authorities seem vigilant and
they give every assurance of their earnest
ness in desiring to keep order. Where the
Kurds alone have devastated the loss of
life is not great. The Kurds plunder, but
do not generally kill unless resisted, but
the Turks kill in cold blood and in ways
suggested by the arch-fiend himself.
''The idea of an uprising among the
Armenians is absurd. They are in terror
of their lives. They are prepared to sur
render all their possessions if only their
lives can be spared"
The letter describing the massacre says
1.-THE attack began on Sunday, Novem-
ber 10, by few kurds. These were easily
driven off. Monday there was another
attack in the morning, which was also re-
PEELED. These attacks amounted to little
Monday the Aghas from the villages
gathered in the city. The Kurds and
Turks from the surrounding region at
tackled Husenik and slaughtered many.
The soldiers went down the road to meet
them. Some of the principal Moslems

PILLAGING At KALSAREA.
Said to Haze Been Done Under Orders
of the Turkish Government.

Said to Haze Been Done Under Orders
of the Turkish Government.
LONDON, ENG, Dec. 15.-The Daily
News will tomorrow publish dispatch
from COnstantinople confirming the state
ment of the representative of the United
Press in that city regarding the mum ber
of Christians killed in the massacre at
Kaisarea. The massacre occurred on No
vember 30. The gendarmes joined the
marauders in the outrages. There is no
doubt that the pillaging was done under
direct orders from the Government. All
the details of the massacre, giving the
names of the victims, ETC., are in the hands
of the representatives of the powers, who
find that it is useless to demonstrate with
the Porte. The Sultan is of the opinion
that the European concert is a mere feint.
The dispatch adds that the tragedy at
Zeitoun is rapidly approaching its final
stage. The statement that the Armenians
in Zeitoun attacked the Moslems and
burned their villages is an absolute lie, in
vented by the Arab Izzet to ALLEVIATE
European sympathy. The lie means that
the doom of the Armenians in Zeitoun is
sealed. The Sultan will order them to be
exterminated without delay. The Softas
intended to make a demonstration against
the palace on Thursday last, but the police,
who had been informed of the proposed
action of the theological students, pre-
vented it by arresting many of the intend
ing participants.
The dispatch adds that it IS reported that
there has been a further massacre at
Kaisarea, but no confirmation of the re-
port can be had and no details are given.
The Standard has dispatch from Con-
stantinople which declares that the con-
tinuance of the massacres proves that the
Sultan, while promising the powers to
effect reforms, is acting with his pen hand
for the determination of the Armenians.
People in Constantinople cannot under
stand how the united powers hesitate to
end this state of things, which is due to
the perversity and wickedness of small
clique, when instant Intervention would
be welcomed by the whole Turkish nation.

New York as the place of meeting for the

BOSTON, MASS, Dec. 15.-Hon. Joseph

said:

ness is over. 1t is over anyway. When
diplomat becomes indiscreet he ceases to

A Street Car Line to the Jail Wanted.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
, 1t being necessary for the writer Of this,
to go to the Jail on business some day this
week, am told POSSIBLY wrongly that the
branch Of the Anacostia road leading from
18th street northeast to the asylum is not
the afternoon. Why Is this? That branch
was authorized to accommodate the in
creasing population of that part of the
city, which it does not do unless run every
day in the year and all day. 1t certainly
was not intended to allow that company
to operate it as they choose and the
balance Of the time hold the right of way
against any other company that might be
willing to do the right thing.
To go t. the Jail by the herdic or Eek
ington line involves walk of six or eight
squares, and probably much of the way
without a. pavement. Can't The Star stir
up the company to sense of duty?
