Marton's Candidacy


New YORK, Dec. 15.-The Morning Ad-
vertiser will tomorrow say:
Levi p. Morton is an avowed candidate
for the presidency. The Advertiser is able
to make this announcement on what may
be .ermed the best authority. During the
present week distinguished party leader
told an Advertiser reporter that the gov
ernor may conclude to take his friends
into his confidence and declare to them
just how he feels about 1896.
A leader who say the governor Thursday
last came back with pretty clear convic-
ton that Morton does not propose to toss
away the honor offered him at the last
Saratoga convention, and that while he
does not propose to exert himself person.
ally, he will be pleased to have the New
York delegation stand as firmly for his
nomination at st. Louis as did the famous
BOG for that of Grant in 1880.
Continuing, the Advertiser says:
The Advertiser possesses other infOrma-
ton which has to do with the formation of
a most powerful combination which, when
occasion requires. is intended to be swung
to the support of either Morton, Reed or
Allison. It was at the home of sena-
night before the recent commit
tee meeting, that the anti Harrison
and anti-McKinley was organized, There
were present ex-senator Flatt of New
York, representing Governor Morton,
Senator quay, whose first choice is
Thomas B. Reed, James S. Clarkson
of Iowa, the personal representa-
tive of Senator William B. All-
son; National Committeeman Garret
II. Hobart of New Jersey, who wants Nor
ton nominated; National Committeeman
Fessenden of Connecticut, who favors
Reed, and Col. Isaac 1rumbo, prospective
United S ates senator from Utah and rep
resenting that new state, as well as Cali
fornia, Nevada, Wyoming and Idaho.
AT Senator Quay's home, therefore, were
representatives of states, whose total num-
ber of delegates aggregate 23S = New York,

ceived from Havana that 800 insurgents

near Nuevitas. The troops made heroic
defense, but Lieutenant Ardeto and twenty
nine of the Spaniards were killed and eight
of them wounded. Captain Borrego and
four men escaped, but the remainder of
the column was captured. The insurgents
have put sop 10 the harvesting in the
Camagua district.
The first intelligence Of the engagement

direct from Havana on Saturday.

Too Appalling ior Words

LONDON, Dec. 15.-The Daily News has
dispatch from Constantinople dated
December IA, which says:
News is daily received here of thousands
OF Armenians VINO are offered the choice
between Islam and death.
At Marash an Armenian who was or
dained an Anglican clergyman,refusedt the
choice and was killed by slow torture.
At Kharput two Protestant preachers
held meeting and were imprisoned.
At Chem tlfty-two persons died as
martyrs for their religion.
At Ouzoon large humber of Armenians
were captured and led to neighboring
Turkish village, where they We're ordered
to change their faith. Fifty of them leaped
into the Euphrates and were drowned, the
Turks shooting them while they were in the
water.
This day the British vice consul at Van
describes the condition of the Armenians
as being too appalling for words. Thous-
ands of women and girls are wandering
through the snow-piled streets without
shelter or food, and barefooted, their raw
ishers having left only their ehemises, and
some of them only a cloth to cover their
nakedness.
An eyewitness of the barbarities of the
massacre at Kaisarich on November 3Oth
says that men and women were literally
hacked to pieces to the number of several

sand were killed. Saturday afternoon a
thousand fierce fellows came from the viii
lagos to the city. Many women were alb
Quoted. The troops could have squelched
the business if they desired to do so. The
Armenians of Kaisarich were always quiet
and law-abiding.
All this information is in the hands of
the ambassadors, with names and dates.
The Zeitoun tragedy is approaching an
end. At tho Samanlik yesterday the
sultan's secretary informed Europeans
that the Zeitounlis committed horrible
outrage; that they had descended en-
masse from the hills, burned the Moslem
village of Martha and killed every in
habitant.
This is foul lie invented by Izzet Bey,
the clever Arabic scoundrel who now rules
the sultan and the empire. He maintains
his power by pandering to the sultan's
thirst for Armenian blood. Everybody is
aware that Zeitoun was surrounded by
troops and hashi bazouks and that such a
sortie was impossible. The object of the
falsehood Is to ALLEVIATE sympathy from the
Armenians. This means that the doom of
the Zeitounlis is sealed. The sultan means
to seize on an excuse to order their exter-
mina,ion.
On Thursday morning a demonstration
by Sofas against the palace was arranged,
but was frustrated by numerous arrests.
1t is reported that fresh massacres oc-
Cured at Kaisarch yesterday, but this is
not confirmed.

A Picture OF Desoiation


CoNsTANTINorLE, Dec. 14.-(via Sofia.
Bulgaria, Dec. l5.)-The French guard
ship Faucon arrived here yesterday by
permission granted by the Sultan on de-
mand of the powers and has joined the
British gunboat Dryad, the Italian war ves-
sci Archimides, and the Austrian gunboat
Sebenico, which arrived during the week.
The secondary effects of the outrages
perpetrated upon the Armenians in the
three weeks past are seen in the advices
now being received from Amotolia, which
dwells upon the terrible distress existing
everywhere. A thousand fugitives have
taken refuge in Black sea ports, where
they remain in q deplorable condition.
The kurds continue to pillage Ar
menian villages without opposition from
the helpless inhabitants. During the last
week 100 villages have been sacked and
seventy men killed. The villages of Serai,
Hazira, Bohackessen and the Armenian
district Of Haisalsor have been laid waste.
The village of Lamasguird has been raided
four times in one week. The authorities
made no attempt whatever to put stop to
the Kurdish raids or to punish the perpe-
traitors of them. 1t is feared that the in
hapitants of numbers of villages who have
fled through fear of a second outrage and
have taken refuge at inac cessible points in
the mountains, will perish during the Sc
we're weather of the winter which is now
coming. The Arrnenians are held in q
state of utter despair over their situation.
The massacres of Armcnians in Kaisi-
rich and Talas lasted for three days. All
kinds of excesses are perpetrated upon
the inhabitants. many women and girls be-
ing outraged by the gendarmes as we'll as
the Kurds. 1t has previously been alleged
that the Kurds alone were responsible for
this species of outrage, being beyond the
control of the authorities. The scenes
which are daily enacted are too horrible to
allow of description.
The survivors of these massacres are
compelled either to adopt Islam or be
killed.
The ambassadors of the powers here are
finding that 1t is useless to address COM
municatons to the porte on this subject as
the sultan is convinced that the European
concert is a mere infant.
Although the immediate cause of the re-
cent widespread panic here was the quar-
rel between two Armenians, it now APP
pears that n wholesale attack upon all the
Armenians in the city, looking to their ex-
termination. was in reality projected on
that day. The attack was to commence
at l o'clock in the morning, but the plan
was frustrated by the state of alarm cre-
ated by the quarrel between two Armeni-
ans, which served as a warning to the Ar
menans in the city and caused them to
take refuge in their houses.

THE proposition to abolish the
Office of county superintendent Of
schools in counties having a taxa
bic property valuation Of less than
two millions is not timely. It has
been recognized in all the states
and cities where schools have been
brought to high degree of eff
cheney that superintendence is
leading factor in the problem.
But there is room f I amendment
in the law now in force. It should
be made to clearly define the du-
ties Of superintendent and enforce
their performance A practical
knowledge Of school work might
very profitably be required in can
didates for the position. Along
the same line. there should be es
tablished a uniform system of ex-
aminatons of applicants for teach
ers' licenses. Questions should
be prepared by a Territorial board
designated by law, composed Of
competent heads of educational
institutions, these questions t. be
submitted to applicants throughout
the Territory on the same day by
county superintendent and asso-
ciate examiners. They should be
sent sealed to the supcrintendent8,
to be opened only al the hour and
place Of beginning the examina-
ton. There should also be pro
yided three grades of licenses, third,
second and first, valid in the county
where granted for one, two, and
three years respectively. A law
on the plan outlined would give
something like system to onr edu-
cational work and tend 10 raise the
standard Of efficiency throughout
the whole system.
