S4TOLLI DISCLIIJfS JURISDICTION
Refers the Christian Endeavorers to tho
Archbishop of st. Louis

ASBURY, PARK, N. j., May 14-Mgr
Satolli has made answer to the Christian En-
deavorers' memorial adopted recently at a
meeting here, petitioning the ablegate to
unfrock Father Phelan Of St. Louis for his
utterances touching the young people of the
organization. The letter is as follows:
APOSTOLIC DELEGATION. UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, WASHINGTON,
ID. c., May 49, 1S95.-Rev. j. p. Dawson:
Reverend and Dear SIr-I received some
days ago your letter, with which you sent
me the protest of the Christian Endeavorers
against the attacks made by Rev Father
Phelan in his paper on the practices of
that association, and l regret exceedingly
that question of this kind should have
arisen. But, after long and careful con-
sideration of the whole matter | feel that
1t is one which belongs to the most rever-
end archbishop of St Louis, rather than to
me.
With sentiments of sincerest esteem, re-
main, most faithfully yours in Christ,
SATOLLI.
Mr. Dawson says that following the sug-
gestion of his eminence, he will forward the
petition to the archbishop of st. Louis.
Mr.. Dawson also said that 1t was Father
Phelan's official position and not the man
that was capable of insulting the Endeavorers
of America.

ARMENIAN HORRORS PROVED
Investigating Committee sickened by the
Sights Brought to Their Attention,
BURNING OF BODIES CoRRoBoRATeD
Three Pits Opened by the Commission and
Human Remains Found-Appointment
of Christian Omcials Demanded
by the Powers.

CoNsTANT1NoPLE, May 1.-THE com
mission which has been investigating the
atrocities in Armenia traversed the devas-
tated village and arrived at Jeligoozan (also
written Ghellyguzan) where 12O houses were
found to have been burned The people were
sheltered in miserable huts and ample proof
was found Of the truth Of the stories told re-
gardng the massacre Of Armenlans and the
fact that their bodies were thrown in large
numbers into a pit where the Turks en-
deavored to conceal their crime by pouring
barrels Of petroleum upon the bodies and
setting fire to the oil. The flames, how
ever, failed to consume the mass and a
stream was damned and diverted from its
course in order to wash away the half burned
bodies. But even this failed to obliterate
the terrible evidence against the Turks and
the local authorities were compelled to re-
move the remains piecemeai. The villagers
had removed the bulk of the bodies and in
tered them in consecrated ground before the
arrival of the commission at Jelllgoozan. The
commission has returned to Moosh.
The delegates Of the powers left Moosh
on April g. The Turkish delegates at first
declined to accompany them, and then
changed their minds. They proceeded to the
ruined villages and traversed Shenik and
Gernal which were found in ruins standing
in the midst of devastated fields They
passed other villages where many houses
were burned. At Jelligoozan the commission
caused two pits instead Of one, as originally
reported, to be opened and found in them
the remains Of skulls and bones with hair
and clothing still adhering to them. Still
another pit was searched. II was situated
in a ravine near Jelligoozan, and inside 1t
was found a decapitated trunk and other
remains But few bodies however, were
found. The villagers told the delegates that
they had removed the bodies from this pit,
and It was evident beyond a doubt that all
three pits contained bodies The eXhala-
tions from the pits were so frightful that the
delegates experienced great trouble in pre-
vailing upon the laborers to finish their hor-
rbe task.
AS result Of the investigation and the re-
ports of the delegates to the powers, the
powers have submitted notes to the Turkish
government impressing upon the Porte the
necessity OF promptly inaugurating scheme
fer Armenian reforms which should include
the appointment Of Christian officials in Ar
menia the powers having right to veto the
appointments Of the governors. The notes
of the delegates of the powers do not base
their suggestions on the Sassoun outrages,
but on the general unsatisfactory condition Of

PLATTSMOUTH, May 14.-(Special)-A
tussle in the courts is promised between the
city and the Platsmouth Water company
rentals paid to the company under its con-
tract, let eight years ago, are held by the
council to be eXorbitant and a reduction
was asked. This was refused, the company
claiming that the plant was not paying
enough of dividend to warrant the reduc-
tion asked. The council at last nights ses-
sion took the matter up and ordered thor
ough test of the pressure to the end of de-
terminng whether IL is up to the required
standard. A chemical analysis of the water
was also ordered. The contract calls for
the throwing of a stream 100 feet high and
that the water shall be pure and wholesome
and the belief is general that the company is
far short of fulfilling either requirement.
Should the tests prove unfavorabe to the
water company the council plans to refuse
further payment of hydrant rentals. This
will doubtless be resisted by the water com
pany and q contest in the courts will be the
ultimate result.

Men X HE'D.

Men Killed.
DETROIT, May IA terrible accident
occurred last evening on the new river
steamer Unique, from Lake St. Clair, which
caused the death of two, IL not three men,
AT 3 o'clock the Unique LETT Detroit bound
for Port Huron, after a down trip which
was the quickest ever made between Detroit
and Port Huron by boat. When about ten
miles from Belle Isle a crash was heard by
the passengers to proceed from the boiler
room, which was followed by clouds Of steam
and scot, driven through the hatches with
terrific force. At the same instant the ex-
plosion occurred the deck hands saw George
Robinson, engineer of the boat, of this city
who was sitting on the port ra'l thrown over
board. Life preservers were thrown to him.
but as the boat was going at full speed at the
time they did not come within his reach. A
boat was at once lowered and a thorough
search made for him, but he had disap-
peared and was given up for dead.
AS soon as the condition Of affairs below
would warrant it the officers of the boat went
below and found crack about an inch and
caused the explosion. On the floor Of the
boiler room was Anthony Case a coal passer,
WAC was seen to have been killed outright
Near him was John Plant, a fireman. who
was taken from the fire hold frightfully
burned
There were about forty passengers On the
boat and a rush was made for the life pre-
servers as soon as the accident occurred
But it ended so quickly that all on board be-
came assured that nothing serious had hap
pened to the boat itself and order was quickly
restored The officers of the boat refused to
allow any one TO visit the fire hold.
The Unique lay on Lake St. Clair from the
time of the accident until 2 o'clock this
morning, when the wrecking tug Wales
which had been sent for her by the steamer
Baldwin, took her in tow and reached the
dock at Detroit at o'clock this morning.

GUILE AND II. Il NJ 70 JOIN INTEREs: IS

CHEYENNE, May 14.--(Special)-Th re-
cent decision of Governor Richards to en-
force the conditions of his proclamation
which require that all southern cattle ship
ped into the state by rail shall be fed
watered and inspected at this place, will
probably lead to a iunc ton of the Buring-
ton and Denver & Gulf interests in Wyo-
ming The junction could be formed by al
lowing the Burlington to- extend its present
line through this city 10 the western limits
where connection could be made with the
Cheyenne a. Northern branch of the Den
yer Gulf. Negotiations to effect this con-
nection are in progress. Some opposition is
being met from properly owners whose
property would be damaR ed by allowing the
Burlington the desired right of way through
the city. Efforts are being made, however,
to overcome these objections, and the pro-
posed connection is regarded one of the
certanties of the near future. That the
Denver q Gulf officials have effected an alb
solute divorce of their business from that of
the Union Pacific is shown plainly by their
method OF handling their stock shipmen:
over the Cheyenne & Northern this year.
Heretofore Union Pacific engineers and
trainmen have handled the extra stock ship
ment during the cattle shipping season.
This year five complete train crews of the
main line of the Gulf road have been

WILCOX Arz., May IA courier has
Information that twelve armed Indians have
been prowling around the hills in the vicinity
OF Buckhorn basin, where the mines are
being worked. The miners at once left their
claims after being notified, and have con-
gregated together for protection to them
selves and their families. The locality is
near the abandoned post Of Fort Bowie and
Is some twenty miles east Of Wilcox.
a later report was brought in from a new
gold find in the south pass of the Dragon
mountains. twenty miles south of here, that
six Indians, fully armed, were seen there.
they attacked a prospectors' camp, driving
the prospectors from their claims and firing
four shots at one Of the men, compelling
him to jump for safety from a high ledge,
severely injuring himself. This morning
responsible reports were received from Gra-
ham county saying that a band of fifteen
heavily armed Indians were seen last even
Ing at sundown, seven miles from Clifton,
rounding up horses of citizens. Much alarm
is felt
This morning one troop Of cavalry left
Fort Bayard for the scene, but long marches
are necessary to reach the scene of the re-
ported danger. The citizens are feeling very
wrought up and Insecure. The Indians are
reported in distress from insufficient rations
and trouble is predicted, with no adequate
military protection. Only a few available
troops can quickly reach the locality, and
they are at Fort Grant. They have orders
to leave inside of a week, hence are all
packed up. The abandonment OF Fort Bowie
leaves the whole southern country open to
the ravages. and it would not surprise those
who keep watch of the Indians to see the
troubles from miscellaneous bands now off
