Itself felt. Among the speakers Of tho

kins, ID. d., who will preside; the Rev.
DIR. Moore, IL is hoped, and the Rev.
Frank Burlington Vrooman, foreign secre-
tary OF the union, who has the national
campaign in charge, and who is speaking
In all the larger cities OF the United
States on this question. Others doubtless
Will speak. The aim OF this campaign,
which has already secured the support OF
many prominent men, in the United
States, is TO secure 5000, 600 names to q
petition addressed to the British Govern
ment, which is responsible for the brutal
ity of the Turks, since 1t has upheld the
Sultan and his empire through some of
the most brutal and frightful atrocities
the world has ever known. All are invited
to be present Following is the petition
TO be presented:
To the 1T. Hon. tho Marquis OF Salisbury.
the RI Hon. A. j. Balfour. the kt. Hon.
William Il. Gladstone and the Rt. Hon.
James Bryce, NJ. p:
Whereas, We have learned from unimpeacha.
BILE sources that the inhabitants Of the eastern
portion OF Turkey including what Is common
ly known as Armenia, have been and are still
great sufferers from governmental injustice,
misrulo and apathy, which conditions culmi-
mated in recent barbarous massacres that re-
garded neither age nor sex, and
Whereas We are convinced by past history
and present conditions, together with the at
tempts OF the Turkish Government to conceal
the facts OF the crimes committed against hu-
manity, that there Is no hope whatever that
Turkey Will originate or execute any meas
ures OF reform or do anything TO ameliorate
the conditions OF the oppressed and suffering
people in the region named, and we are con-
vinced that there is no ground for hope that
her promises now for future reforms will be
OF more value than those repeatedly made
heretofore and as repeatedly broken,
Therefore, We would, individually and col
lectively, as citizens of these United States,
and in the name of an outraged humanity,
respectfully and earnestly petition you that
you entreat the Government OF Hor Majesty
TO provide at once for Eastern Turkey a safe
and just government which shall not be de-
pendent for its integrity and continuity upon
the will OF the Sultan or any of his subject
counsellors. We make this petition, believing
that Turkey by her repeated acts of barbarity
has forfeited all right 20 be regarded or
treated with as a civilized nation.

that the railroad company grade Water
