Julia, Persia, June 1.-The special
correspondent Of the Associated Press,
who is investigating the situation in
Armenia, has furnished the following
correspondence:
The Turkish government 10 taking
prompt measures to prevent the upris-
ing OF Armenian revolutionists next
month. All roads leading from Persia
TO Van have been closed by order Of
the Turkish government, the intention
being to shut Oh communication be-
tween the revolutionary leaders in Per.
sia and their agents in Afmenia. One
Armenian caravan that tried TO get
through to Van from Khoe was seized
by the Turkish officials.
Within the past week the Turkish
consul at Sautch Bulsk, in Persia, tried
to cross over into Turkey with an
armed escort Of twelve men, but he was
turned back by the Kurds, who had
possession Of all the roads At the
same time the Turkish officials in the
towns near the border were chased out
OF the country by the KurdA They
took refuge in Rsvendus, where they
are now. The Kurds have warned
them not to return. The Armenians
hope that the Kurds and Turks will
get into q fight and exterminate each
other.
reasonable explanation for this &C.
tivity with the Kurds may be found in
a letter from Sheik Abdul Kahr recent
ly written to his brother in the noun
tains of Kurdistan. Abdul Kahr an
nounced that the sultan had appointed
him to command the Hamadie reRi.
ment OF regular Kurdish cavalry, to-
gether with force Of regular Turkish
troops. and that there was to be q
great war during which he and his
troops were to capture the Russian
city Of Kars.
Many well informed persons in
weston Persia believe that Asia Minor
Is on the verge Of great religious war,
which the sultan Of Turkey is forcing
upon the world in order TO retain his
prestige among the MohammedanA
As eight months have passed since
the Sassoun and Moosh massacres and
nothing has been done in consequence
by the Turkish government, the Moss
lens Of Persia are beginning TO believe
that nothing will be done, and that Eu.
ropes protests count for nothing. As
a result the Persians are beginning to
talk OF having a massacre of Christians

New York, Nay Sl.-The English
statistician, Michael @. Nulhall, pub
fishes in the June number Of the North
American Review Just issued an article
ON The Power and Wealth Of the
United StateA" Mr.. Nulhall's con-
ciusion II that If We take Q survey Of
mankind in ancient or modern times a
regards the physical, mechanical and
intellectual force Of nations, we find
nothing TO compare with the United
States in this present year Of 1896"
and that the United States possesses
BY far the greatest productive power in
the world. He asserts that the ABSOLUTE
effective force Of the American people
u now more than three times what il
was in 1860, and that the United
States Possesses almost a much energy
as Great Britain. Germany and France.
collectively, and the ratio falling to
each American il more than what two
Englishmen or Germans have at their
disposal
He points out BY careful comparison
between the conditions in these differ
ent countries, that an ordinary farm
hand in the United States raises n
much grain as three in England, four
in France, five in Germany and six in
Austria One man in America can
produce a. much -four rs will feed $50.
whereas, in Europe, one man feeds
only 80 persons Mr.. Mulhali calls
especial attention to the fact that the
intellectual power Of the great republic
is in harmony with the industrial and
mechanical, 81 per cent Of the total
population over eight years Of age be-
ing able to read and write. He adds:
1t may be fesrlessly asserted that
in the history Of the human race, no
nation ever before possessed Al 600, 600
instructed citizens"
The writer sets forth in regard to the
growth Of the wealth of the United
States, that the increment in the per-
iod from 1921 to 1890 was sol mill
iards Of dollars, which sum is one
milliard over the total wealth of Great
Britain In classifying the whole
wealth Of the Union under the heads of
urban and rural, he finds that rural
agricultural wealth has only quad
rupled in forty years, while urban
wealth has multiplied sixteen fold. In
an important series Of figures it is
shown that the rise in wealth and the
increase Of wages came almost hand in
hand" In dealing with the develop
ment of farm values Mr.. Mulhall makes
the following statement:
If the United States had no urban
population or industries whatever, the
advance Of agricultural interest would
be enough to claim the admiration of
mankind, for it has no parallel in his
tory"

dered by Mr. Lamson. 1t also makes
the modest claim that it can beat all
its competitors in this kind of work. 1t
also offers to furnish a man to travel
with the show and see that it is properly
exhibited Well, all these claims will
count in competition such as we pro-
posed and such as the city ordinance
makes obligatory in the case of stationery
and supplies of similar character
There are quite number of photograph
ers in this city, and if the city is going
into the business of advertising by pic
lures, there is every reason why all of
them should have the opportunity to
compete for furnishing the material If
the assertion of the Gay Company that
it can beat all its competitors be true,
certainly it has nothing to lose, but every
thing to gain FROM such competition.
With regard to the benefit of advertising
by means of pictures stuck up in various
places, we want to reiterate what we
said the other day, that we think it will
do very good, with all due Difference of
course to the governors of states, mayors
of.somesecities, and members of boards of
trades who are alleged to think otherwise
