Christians in Danger Appeal for
Intervention Of European Powers.

LONDON March 8-The following has
been received from well-known Euro
pean resident at Beyroot, Syria; "After
1860. when the Druses massacred so many
thousands OF Christians in Syria, there
was created by the powers specially or
ganized government. with Christian as
pasha. This has been a grand success;
the population has increased, land has
been thoroughly cultivated. and the
proverb Is, Blessed Is theAian who has a
place In Lebanon sufficient for goat to
lie down upon
1.-THE turbulent and criminal part OF the
Druses have moved gradually to Howran,
where they maintain n defiant and law
less attitude. Lately the government has
shown great desire to conciliate them,
rather than TO subdue them. The Druses.
few years ago, killed about 10 OF the
Mohammedans of Howran and were not
chastised. Again they attacked govern
ment post and killed 81 regular troops
with impunity. Lnst June the Druses at
tackled village Of Circassian refugees and
killed about 80.
when no punishment followed these
depredations which were accompanied by
countless acts OF robbery and plumber,
they became bolder Some Bedouin Arabs
have been killed by them, and now their
attention Is turned to the Christians. One
of them, well known to me- was walking
upon n highway near five villages, wholly
inhabited by Christians, when he was set
upon by Druses and murdered, after being
robbed OF f00
''The government greatly fears internal
dissension. Why. on the one hand, a brutal
massacre OF those who indulge in harm
less dreams of liberty and independence.
and on the other, timid indulgence OF
outlaws? The answer Is easily given:
Christians are the natural prey OF Moslem
hatred, and any pretext will answer as an
excuse for their determination.
''rhe European powers are great. Will
they not use their power TO secure some
justice to the Christians OF tho Eastf The
Moslem Turk will never learn the lessor,
which could be drawn from,.the massacres Of
Syria, Bulgaria and the Arabic rebellions,
that TO surrender Christians TO the mer-
cies OF fanatical hordes Is not the wisest
course, but losing game. Matters have
reached such sad pass, and are steadily
becoming worse, that 1t seems wrong to
hold ones Deace" "

ing was needed. and applauded every
play Tannehill was made 10 bow his

Bluebirds came i'm for share Of praise.
Umpire Sam Crowder has just returned
from a very successful trip through the
North. where he has established his great
invention.
To see Sam describe a game is in itself
a treat that is worth while to attend
one Of the exhibitions. but the games
themselves are as good as many that
have been played on a real ball-feld.
