TALE OF A BUTCHER
A TURKISH SOLDIER TELLS ABOUT
THE ARMENIAN MASSACRE.
How the Christians Were Driven Into
n Pit and Observation-Disclosures
Dynamite Explosion.

LONDON, March 2L.-The correspondent
in Armenia of the Daily News sends to that
paper a story told by a Turkish soldier who
took part in the Sassoun outrages, and who
has since quilted the army and fed across
the Russian border. His story confirms the
worst accounts of the outrages. He tells
how the Turks sent the Kurds to do the
rough work of burning the Armenian viii
lagos and numbering the inha bitants. 1t
was Turks, he adds, who cut off the fugi-
tives as they were trying to escape. De-
scribing the outrage in the village of Djel-
lyegooZan, tt scene of the pit massacre"
the Turk says that two immense trenches
were dug and the soldiers were told off into
parties to butcher the inhabitants. For
over a week one party or another was
marched at nightfall to the trenches, where
the soldiers were ordered to bayonet and
butcher patches of unarmed, helpless Ar
menians. The Turk remorsefully admits
that he killed seven persons, but says he
would have been killed himself had he dis
obeyed the order of his superior officer.
In an editorial comment on the foregoing
dispatch the Daily News says that the
ordinary calculations of diplomacy can
have no place in the deliberations of the
powers in this crisis of the fate of Ar
nania

SUING FOR
Alleged infringement ON the Lee
Arms COmpany's Rifle.

NEW YORK, March 20.-The World says
the recent visit Of Vice President r. J..
Dean. of the Lee Arms Company, and Ly-
man E. Warren, the company's counsel, to
Secretary of State Gresham, at Washing
ton, related to one of the most important
international ~litigations on record. The
company, through it's English representa-
tive, is engaged in pushing infringement
suits against the two large gun manufac-
turers of Belgium and Germany, and if
sustained in it's claims it is possible that
action may be taken against a dozen Euro
pean powers for the recovery of royalties
amounting in the aggregate to millions of
dollars. In 1890 the English government
adopted the Lee rife for the English army.
Subsequent to this the Mannlichers of Aus
tr.a procured patents in Belgium and Ger
many under which they infringed directly,
it is claimed, on the magazine used in the
Lee gun. The Mannlichar guns are made
in Germany and Belgium. Mausir. a large
gun maker of Liege, Belgium, also secured
patents in Belgium and Germany and be-
gan to manufacture an absolute copy of
the Lee magazine. He secured large con-
tracts from Belgium, Italy, Spain, Turkey
and several South American powers. He
also made large shipments to China. The
cases are for royalties of s2.2o on. each gun.
and amount to over 81. 000, 600 in each in
stance. The action against Mausir will
come up for trial in June IN Brussels.

DELAWARE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
Higgins Dropped by His Followers for
a Few BallOts Yesterday.

DOVER, Del, March 20.-There was much
States Senator was taken to-day, and 1t
vas found that Higgins's followers, with
the exception of Wilson, had deserted and
voted for Edward G. Bradford, of New
Castle Money and Walker. Higgins men,
who are absent, were paired. On the first
and second ballots Higgins got one vote
and Bradford six. On the third ballot Hig-
gins got j, Bradford l and Hiram Burton. of
Sussex county, 5. The fourth ballot result
Higgins got z. The desertion was unex-
pected. Representative Moore, an Addicks
adherent, says this is the beginning of the
end. Representative Ball, another Addicks
follower, canvasSed the Republicans in the
House in the interest of Harry A. Richard
eighty-six ballots have been taken since the
deadlock began.
1t is said, to-nights the Higgins followers
are ready to leave their man for the pur-
Senator. They claim that their action to-
day proves this, and that any time enough
Republicans join them from the forces of
Addicks and Massey, a senator VIII be
elected. OF course this attitude is con-
strued to mean that the Higgins people are
not willing to go to either Addicks or Mas
sey. Any other Republican,, however, is
satisfactory to them. While the Addicks and
Massey followers are not likely to go to Y.
G. Bradford, it is believed they cannot re-
equally available Republican. Great pressure
is being brought on the Republican menu
bers to elect a Senator, and now that the
Higgins people have shown a disposition to
renewed on the others to follow this *
ample.
