Said Was Scared

LONDON, Dec. 6.-The Constan tin ople
correspondent of the Times says: In de.
cllning the appointment of grand vizler
Said Pasha asked the sultan's permis.
sion, on the ground OF bad health, to re-
tire and live quietly abroad. This rank
led in the sultans mind and induced =
paroxysm of anger, and Said Pasha, VIII o
Is neither q novice or coward, is per-
suaded that the sultan would have killed
him had he entered the 9ildiz palace.
The secret of the whole business Is that
Said is 50 popular and 80 highly esteemed
that it is feared he might join the mall
content party. He has always been re-
garded as the most anti English of all
the official pasbas. Munitr, the new
ambassador to Paris, was formerly the
head political spy.
The story IS current tnat the sultan has
returned to his youthful habit of dram
drinking. The Standard has dispatch
from Constantinopio saying that after
the refusal of the Office of grand vIzier
at the Yildiz palace.
The Daily News ContantinopIc corre-
spondent says said Pasha's prociivities
are Russian and surprise is expressed
that he dia not take refuge at the Rus
sian en- bassy, instead of the British EN-.
bassy. 1t is said that che sultan ques-
toned him as to the origin of certain
seditious plscards and, Oh his protesting
ignorance the sultan repyoached him

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The committee
of Armenian citizens which is in WASH
ington in behalf of their countrymen has
presented to Mr.. Hit and other mem bers
conspicuous on foreign affairs state
ments regarding the treatment of Arme-
mans who are naturalizod American citi-
zens. which put a very serious aspect
upon the relations of the United States
with Turkey, and may inspire a d eclara-
ton by congress. 1t is reported bv the
committee that the Turkish governm ent
refuses absolutely to Iermit naturalized
ArmenIaus to return to their old homes
and also prevents them from bringing
other members of their families out OF
the Turkish dominons to this country.
Beyond this the Armenians declare that
the Turkish government compels all nat
uralized Armenians doing business in
this country to remit taxes on their bust
NESS and income taxes to the sultan's
off GERS. These taxes are levied arbitrar-
lily and their collection is enforced by
unique methuds. One Armenian deing
business IN Massltis SAID lie was recently
compelled to remit an income tax Of $500
He refused to pay the tax, whereupon
his brother in the snltan's dominion was
imprisoned and kept there until the
money was forthcoming.

Courageous Missionaries

BOSTON, Dec. 6.-Lstters at hand
from missionaries of the American board
at the seat of trouble in Turkey throw
new light on the fact that some OF the
missionaries have not taken advantage
of the advice of Minister Terrill and the
armed escorts that have been provided
to conduct them to the coast.
The writer says: The government au-
thoritics give every assurance that for
signers will bs prOtected and We believe
in showing our confidence IN these as
surances. Should we run away the very
valuable property of oni boards wall be
looted, our schools dispersed and the
work of years broken up. Moreover, the
native Christians will be plunged into
still deeper distress and terroI by the
fight OF those to whom they naturally
look for help and protection.
"Our presucee serves to restrain the
bloodthirsty I'M fulses OF even the most
fauatica Moslems; while here they do

dav before killed Merrill and his dauvh.
ter at Ash Springs, fifty miles distant
n o fears are entertained of general out
break by any OF the dozen Apache tribes
berded on the White Mountain reserva-
tion, and the detection of some of the
younger bucks IS believed to be all it
amounts to. 1t is not the usual season
for Apache outbreaks, which generally
are in springtime, when grass is ready
for horses and the mountains are free
from snow. Still the region is such that
1t can easily be terrorrized by even half
dozen Indians.
The country between the Gila river
and the San Simon station on the South
ern Pacific railway Is now being searched
by three troops OF cavalry from Forts
Grant and Bayard. and the six murder
ers OF Merrill and daughter are believed
to have scattered anu to be in hiding.
Sheriff Wight's party has not oeen heard
from, however, and may be on hot
trail. The trail, fifteen miles south of
Ash Springs, led off southeasterIy as
though the fugitives expected to get INTO
the Sierra Madres and Mexico by way of
San simon valley. By many it Is be-
lieved the murder was by Mexicans. The
only indications OF Indian work are moe
casin tracks, and that is considered of lit
tie value. The work did not look like
that of Apaches. as the corpses had not
been mutilated. That robbery was the
object is shown by the fact that the girls
satchel and mans pocketbook had been
carriad away, to be thrown down by the
trail not far distant. Merrill was a farm
er at Pima. on the Gila, and was on his
way to Clifton with load OF grain, his
16-yesr-old daughter going along. 1t is
plain they were ambushed from the sides
OF ravine through which the road runs,
The victims were walking near the ag
