LONDON, March ia dispatch to the
Telegram from Mossh, via Kars, declares
that the villages in the Sassoun district

starvation. The dispatch adds that unless
English charity, through the delegates on
the commission or the American mission
aries at Biths, come to the rescue the scene
of distress will be terrible

They Mag Arrdnge for Direct Mail
Serrice From Vancouver.
OTTAWA, Ontario, March l5.-The De-
partment of Commerce has been advised
of negotiations for a Encouragement of the
direct Australian steamship service. The
New Zealand Government has received an
offer from Huddart, Parker & Co. TO run a
connecting steamer between FIJI and
Auckland or Wellington. The matter was
considered by the Government and it was
thought better to have its own direct
steamers to touch at Auckland or We'll
ington, and New South Wales asked if
that colony would allow steamers to come
on to New Zealand.
The Government of that colony is in
favor of establishing direct mail service
via Vancouver, alternating every fort
night with San Francisco. In negotiating
for connecting service it was contemplated
to include Samoa as well as Fiji.
