SOME STRONG LANGUAGE.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-The jury in the Debs case was sworn in at the beginning of this mornings session, after which Assistant District Attorney Milchrist opened for the government, confning himself to review of the evidence which has been prepared. He was followed by Attorney o. s. Dar- row, who arraigned the officers of th e gov- ernment for what he called persecution of the directors of the American Railway union. He accused MT. Milchrist with be. ing paid tool of the railroads instead of representa- the government in the case. On the issue of the case, which has become historical, depended the entire fabric of personal liberty. He did not think even the court, whose duty it would be to expound the law in this case, knew rightly what that law was, and, continuing, said: "You will find when you know the men accused of these crimes that the lowest one of them Is infinitely higher than the best of the general managers. They did not have to hold their meetings in se- cret as did the general managers, nor did they have to have private wire on which to send their telegrams. Everything they did was open and above board, and I do not believe that the minions of the railroads will be able to convict them of any crime whatsoever p

LOOKS LIKE A SHUTDOWN.

CARPET wEAvERs MAKE DEMAND WHICH
 WILL BE REFUSED.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26.-The strike of the lngrain carpet weavers employed by c. H. Masland & Sons has virtually closed the mill, which employed about 300 peo- pie. The employees are confident of win ming the fight. They say the firm has many orders on hand which it must fill or lose the trade.
 Messrs. Masland take quite 8 different view Of the strike. They make the follow ing statement:
 "Our weavers made a demand for uni form advance Of 4 of cent per yard, which, owing 10 the condition of business, we were unable to concede. Our weavers made good wages at the prices we paid. Good, bad and indifferent, they averaged S11 per week, and good weavers could make $14 and S15 in the week, with ingram car- pets selling at lower price than ever was known before.'
 It is said that the ingrain carpet manu- lecturers are a unit in their refusal to con- cede an advance of wages at the present time, having decided not to do so at a meeting of the trade.

It IS certain that he was there as late as last Sunday aud preparations had been made to capture him. Delay in the move- ments of the officers gave the fugitive time to escape, although he was seriously i'll and must have been moved with great risk and difficulty. It is certain that he could not have borne the strain of long jour- ney, and he is probably not far away now. There is little probability, howevef, that

TERRIBLE WEATHER ] Encountered by the Tug Sea King
 aud Barges.
TWELVE LIVES SACRIFICED
And Others Thought to Have Met a Like Fate-The
 Storm Elsewhere.

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Jan. 26.-The worst disaster that has happened in years in Long Island Sound occurred last night and became known this morning when tue big tug Sea King, Captain Olmstead, ar rived in this harbor in thick fog. The Sea King left Hammond's Flats Thursday evening about o clock with fair weather and light west winds. She was bound for Providence and Newport with five barges, all but one of the fleet consigned to Provi- dence. The barges were coal-laden and carried $500 tons.
 The Sea King came through the race last night about o'clock with light west wind prevailing and clear weather, which continued till nearly Il o'clock, at which time the tow was six miles west of Point Judith. Then the wind shifted to the east ward, and at 12 clock had increased to a gale from east-southeast. The sea was terrific, running with tremendous force and making clean breach over the sturdy tug, flooding her cabin, aud the air was filled with blinding snow, so that il was impossible to see the length of the craft.
 Captain Omstead and Pilot William Dodd were at the wheel of the Sea King. 1ney ueaQeQ lue tug Ou buOle auu Sue pulled away with the long tow behind her until ? o'clock. The storm was as fierce then as ever. It was then seen that the tow had broken apart and that the barges were going adrift, and several were seen to founder. The head barge of the tow foundered about6 o'clock this morning, and then the immense hawser that held her was cut.
 The tug lay by in the vicinity until 2:30 o'clock to rescue any of the people aboard the barges. One man and a boy were taken from the barge Nettie before she went down, but to save another life was alongside of the barges, nor dared she turn from heading into the sea. She did finally turn and take off the crew of the Nettie.
 There were twelve lives lost by the disas- ter, four women and eight men. As soon as the Sea King took off the Nettle's crew and it was apparent that no other lives could be saved, the tug ran for the harbor to escape the tremendous fury of the storm. She had labored heroically to make head way against the wind and sea, but no power could enable her to do that. The names ot the lost are:
 Capt. Frank Hoffman, Mrs. Frank Hoff- man, Miss Hoffman, deck hand, all of the barge Crocus' crew; Captain Hartshoe, Mrs. Hartshoe, a deck hand of the barge Eagle; Capt. Harry Tucker and deck hand of the barge Albert M. captain of the barge Bingie, his wife and deck hand. Their names could not be ascertained on the Sea King when she arrived
 The sea outside the harbor is terrific to- day, and dense fog prevails. Captains Olmstead and Dodd say that their expe- rience was the worst they ever encountered and that but few tugs could have with stood the drubbing the Sea King got.

COnstantinoplc. Nov. II. - 4 letter
from ErZcrOum fully confirms the re-
ports previously published concerning
the massacre there. The writer says
that il is impossible yet to ascertain
the number killed. Some persons as
seIt that it will reach fully 1000. Per-
haps Il thousand is not far short Of
the total. Continuing, the writer says:
I'VE have not dared to go To the
quarters Of the city where the Turks
are too numerous. 1t might be said of
the titheS of Christians who have been
victims thus far. and | have not the
opportunity of investigating more than
q tenth of the cases. | have yet to
hear of n single dead Turk in this
struggle. This, l think, disproyes the
charges of the aggressions brought up
against the Armenians. The bare
bold fact is that it was purely a massa-
ere of the innocent inhabitants by the
enraged Turks. and but for the pres
ence of foreign consulS things would
have been worse. With the coming of
winter the misery in store for n re-
manning Armenians will be terrible"
The correspondent quoted, who is
staying ut the American mission, says
that he has heard testimony in various
quarters that the government ordered
the massacres. which was to be exc
