Whole Armenian Population Said to Be
Imprisoned and Business Stopped.
LONDON Jan. 9.-The correspondent of
the Standard at Constantinople tele-
graphs that he has heard that the sultan
formally requested Great Britain to dis
avow the speech recently made by Mr..
Gladstone to the Anglo Armenian deputa-
ton that visited him at Hawarden.
There is great discomfort among the
Musselmans. They believe that the
Porte's policy will lead to the loss of the
Armenian provinces.
1t appears certain that business is at
standstill and that nearly the whole Ar
menian population is imprisoned
The Vienna correspondent of the
Standard telegraphs that Turkey has
persuaded Mgr. Azarian, patriarch
of the Armenian Catholics, to in
struct his visar at Moosh to
enjoin his flock to give pro- Turkish evil
dence before the commission. AS it will
be difficult to distinguish between the
two antagonistic branches of the Arme-
MAN family, the delegates should be in
structed to carefully sift the evidence of
Armenian Catholics and orthodox Chris
tians Eye witnesses of the outrages
have already been removed from the dis
tricts to other parts of the empire.

Hebr.w. 1sraeIlte and Jew.

Jew refers to the religion which the
Jews profess. Hebrew refers to a Ian
guage which they no longer speak and
has consequently no meaning at the pres
ent time Isfaelite refers to a nation
which they at one time formed, and it
has at present no Specification except
when reference is made to the ancient
nation. The Jews are religious com
munity, and that is all that separates
them or rather distinguishes them from
their fellow citizens. The Jews do not
call themselves Hebrews A few who do
not know any better may call themselves
SO, but they are wrong Those who
know what is right call themselves Jews.

Governor Renfrow Makes Suggestions of
Interest to the Territory.
GUTHRIE Ok. Jan. 10.-Governor
Renfrow submitted his semi annual
message to the legislature in joint
session at noon yesterday. It was
very exhaustive document, covering
the development and progress of the
territory and calling for many re-
forms, principal among Them abolish
ment of the fee system, the re-
vision of the election laws, the buy
ing of all county supplies from the
lowest bidder, the change of the
quarantine line and the compelling
of insurance companies to pay
the face value of policies. He
also recommends the collection
of a heavy tax from liquor dealers, the
stablishment of territorial univer-
sity for negroes and the requiring of
sworn statements from private banks.
He comes out clearly for statehood
for Oklahoma and such part of the
Indian territory as can be secured and

TRADE WITH GERMANY.
That In Dressed Beef and Live Cattle
Has Been Investigated.

That In Dressed Beef and Live Cattle
Has Been Investigated.
WASHINGTON, jan 1o.-The spe cia1
agent of the agricultural department.
who has been investigating the con-
ditions of our dressed beef and live
cattle trade with Germany has made
his report to Secretary Morton. He
shows very conclusively. as a result
of careful inquiry on the part of the
consignees. butchers, and even some
of the veternaries themselves, that
both the dressed beef and the cattle
received from this country were of
exceptionally good quality.
The report concludes with the pre-
diction that even if prohibition should
be revoked, there remain many other
ways by which the trade in Am erica
cattle may be hindered, such as local
restrictions or local prohibition
Moreover, to extend the trade
throughout Germany, either IN dress
ed meats or live cattle imported and
slaughtered at Hamburg, great i'm
provement in the German railroad
service must be awaited, as the trains
are not properly equipped for carry
ing goods allow temperature.

VESTS PLAN.
The Missouri Senator Has a
Way Out.
Probably No Currency Legisla-
ton This Session.
COMMITTEE AT SEA.
They Don't Know What to Do
Next.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Many of tbs
Democratic senators received the an
nouncement of the adverse vote on
the currency bill as summons to the
senate to take the question up and
find way outaof the difficulties with
which the country finds itself sur
rounded. Senator Voorhees, took the
first step for formal consideration of
the matter by issuing call for meet
ing of the finance committee to be held
to-day for the purpose of canvassing
the entire situa ton and if possible of
devising means of improving the con-
dition of the treasury. So far as can
be learned no-measure has been pre-
pared for submission to the commit
tee, but the movers of the meeting
hope a general exchange of views on
the part of the mem bers of the com
mittee will indicate general lines
upon which bill would be framed
which would stand a chance of re-
ceiving the approval of the com nit
tee and of the senate.
1t is also understood Senator Vest
has in mind the outline of a plan for
bill which he may submit to the
committee and which may prove the
basis of future action. The two
principal features of the plan are:
First, to authorize the insurance of a
sufficient number of low rate bonds
to retire the S346, 900, 900 worth of
greenbacks, and, second, to provide
for the purchase and coinage of D
sufficient quantity of silver toincrease
the silver issuance to $3.50, 900, 600
which would be an increase of
about $50 QUO, OGO. This is suggested
as a, compromise upon which the bond
advocates and the silver men can
agree, but the scheme has not met
general favor SO far as it has been
canvassed. Some of the silver sena-
tors, notably the Republican silver
senators, who have taken the position
that they will accept nothing short
of a provision for unlimited silver
coinage. They will not insist upon
free coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1, but
a re willing to allow the government
a liberal seigniorage. They will
not agree, however, that any limit
shall be placed upon the amount to
be received on the terms agreed upon.
1t is not known how the finance COM
mittee will stand upon this PROPOSE
ton, but the silver men believe poll
of the committee will show a major
ity friendly to that metal.
The Republican members of the
finance committee do not regard the
at all, and theypredict there will be
as great emergency of opinion as
among house mem bers, and they pre-
diet that it will be quite as impossi-
bic for the senate Democrats to agree
on any bill presented as it has been
for the house to agree on the Carlisle
bill.
