THE ATROCITIES.
The Sultan Charged with Ordering
the Armenian Massacres.
THE WORST NOT PUBLISHED
If the English, French and Russian Consull
Were to Make Known Their OfficiaI
Reports Europe Would
stand Aghast.

BosToS, Nov. o6.-The following let.
ter has been received from a relia BILE
person in Constantinople:
The Turks have induced some Of the subsi
died European papers to speak OF these crimes
as Armenian outbreaks, etc but the ambassa-
dors have full reports which they ought TO pub
lish that refute these and show conclusively
that within a day or two after he signed the re-
form scheme the sultan ordered the Armenians
to be massacred in order that there should
be no question of an Armenian majority in
any OF the provinces. The people sought the
spoilS Obtainable and 50 did not execute the
sultan's wish to the fullest extent But the
loss OF life has been awful Moreover there
seems to be no way of preventing more OF
the same sort. 1t is the most awful crime
OF the century, because 1t is persist
emily falsihed by its author. Everywhere
the story is the samoa deliberate
preparation and then story sent to Europe
that the Armenians attacked the inofensive
Turks and were reduced to order after
a few had been killed Worse times
in store for US. Europe is divided in
counsel, and the Turks finding that nothing
is done for this crime will go on to ex-
tremes. The highest Moslem court has
declared that the sultan cannot lawfully De
restrained i'll the exercise Of his will. since
he is the representative OF God for the whole
earth. From 5000 to 20001 people have been
slaughtered during the last month and in con-
sequence no less than 100000 persons hereto
fore dependent on them for their daily food are
now in want. The coming winter will witness
a vast amount OF suffering. II is not alone at
Sassoun, but all over the land that the occur
rences have taken place.
The Worst Not Made Public.
LONDON, Nov. %. "A dispatch to the
Daily News from Constantinople Civ
ing a general resume of the situation,
declares that recent massacres put the
early outrages of Sassoun and Moosh
entirely in the background. If either
England, France or Russia should pub
lish the stories reported officially by
the cool-headed consuls, all Europe
would stand aghast at the proofs.
Wherever these consuls have investi-
gated matters they have found that
the accusations that the Armenians
provoked the riots are false.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Telegraph announces that strenuous ef-
forts are being made throughout the
Armenian provinces to compel clergy
men and prominent persons by threats
to sign addresses to the sultan declar-
ing that the Armenians provoked all
outbreaks. It is claimed that the one
which recently appeared from Erze-
roum was procured in this fashion.

Tho Premier's Statement Concerning tho
Venezuelan Dispute Ready.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-The marquis Of
Salisbury, it is understood, has COM
pleted his reply to Secretary Olney's
note regarding Venezuela. 1t is ex-
pected that the answer will be imme-
diately delivered to the United States
ambassador, Mr.. Thomas f. Bayard.
Nothing is known at the colonial Of
fee here of the alleged statements Of
the administrator of British Guiana
that the imperial government is pre-
pared to assert the rights of arms.
News reached here several days ago
that the legislature of that colony had
acquiesced to the proposal of the Sec
retary of state for the colonies, Mr..
Chamberlain, to increase the colonial
force by two inspectors and another
Maxim gun, the legislature also noti-
flying the government that it is pre-
pared to vote anything the colonial
secretary considered necessary for the
defense of the colony. There has been
no change in the boundary dispute
and the government, it is added. will
not tolerate Venezuelan aggression
beyond the Schomberg line.

SILVER AN ISSUE.
No Sidetrac king the Free Coinage Question
in the Omaha Meeting.


in the Omaha Meeting.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 26.-Strenuous
efforts are being made by the more
conservative delegates to the Trans.
mississippi congress to prevent the sill.
yer coinage question from overshad.
owing all others in the congress,
but it has been pushed into
prominence already, and there is
every probability that it will be-
come the subject of a heated and
extended debate. In the course Of his
speech yesterday afternoon, ex-Gov. L.
Bradford Prince, of New Mexico. spoke
eloquently of the diversity Of the
country which extended from the level
prairies to the foothills of the noun
tains, filled with their vast mineral
wealth. He asked his audience to think
of the gold miner of Colorado, who had
been made prosperous by an act of con-
gress. and then of the poor silver miner
whose prosperity had been taken
away from him by the same act Later
he introduced few silver coinage res
olutions
This morning r w. Richardson, of
Omaha, introduced a declaration dia.
metrically opposed to the free silver
resolution previously offered by Gov
Prince.
A resolution by NJ. V. w. Huffman,
of Missouri, called on congress to re.
enact the reciprocity clause of the
Mckinley bill, which was nulliied by
the German bill
From to 7:30 o'clock last night a
public reception was rendered to the
delegates at the city hall. Then the
evening session opened with the dis
cussion of statehood for territories by
ex-Gov. Prince, of New Mexico. in
which he pleaded for the immediate
admission of New Mexico and Ari-
zopa. The sentiment of the body was
with him throughout. This topic con-
sumed the whole session, and many
mem bers joined in the discussion. 1t
was agreed that statehood could not
be withheld from these territories
much longer

LYNN, Mass, Nov. 26.-Retired Cham
pion j. J. Corbett said in an interview
yesterday: II am disgusted with the
entire business and henceforth will
confine my entire time to the stage.
No matter what the public may say,
whether it be complimentary or other
wise, | cannot be induced again to
enter the arena. They may say when

and that I never whipped good man
in my career, but l am fully deter
mined in my purpose to quit l suppose
the public blames me for not
pulling off the tight with Fitzsimmons.
but am not disposed to answer any
criticism and will not do SO. 1 be-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. - Secretary
Hoke Smith, in his annual report, will
recommend that the Carey law, grant
ing 1000, 600 acres of arid lands to each
state, in which such lands are situ.
a,ed, be SO amended that the grants be
made to the states outright, and
the states be made responsible
for the irrigation of the lands.
Under. the law as it now stands
it would be many years be-
fore the states would receive the beneA
fit of the grant, and Secretary Smith
believes the states can better carry out
the intention of congress if they get
control of the entire grant at once, in-
stead of waiting until water is secured
for the lands

ChlHhOlm to Missouri.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 26-Gov. Nor
rill has refused the requisition from
the governor of Missouri for Fred
Chisholm, the negro charged with
having abducted a young white girl
in Benton county, Mo. The refusal
was based on the irregularity of
the papers, there being nothing
to show that the person before
whom the original complaint was
filed was magistrate or that
the signature attached was that of the
committing officer. There was some
excitement among the negroes who
had come from Lawrence to prevent
Chisholm's extradition, it being claimed
that it was the purpose of the people
Of Benton county to lynch him.
