MORE ATROCITIES IN ARMENIA
Another Letter Tells of CrueIties of the
Unspeakabie Turk

Boston, Feb. ia letter referring to
the massacre of Armenlans Just received
by resident of this city, who for obvious
reasons does not wish his name men,
toned, is of great interest, because of hav-
ing been written from part of Turkey
remote from that whence letters hitherto
published have come. 1t indicates a most
deplorable state of affairs. Under date of
January IL, the writer says: "The extra
ordinary quarantine precautions taken by
the hitherto immovable Turk, with regard
to cholera that was still far away, have
now been explained by the tidings tina t
have come from Moosh There is very
strong evidence that general massacre
or series of massacres of Christians has
been understood by local governments to
be the order of the day. There is an ac-
tivity and energy displayed by the gov
eminent in recent efforts to encompass
the Christians and cut off their names
and existence that points to newly
formed plan to be put into execution with
as little waste of time as possible.
Referring to a case which came under
his own notice, the writer says:
a Protestant woman was assaulted and
violated by three Turks. They were tried
and found guilty, but an infamous court
under the influence of the still more in
famous Governor, reversed the judgment
and released the guilty men,
From this state of things there is no
remedy, the writer says. No appeal can
be made and such crimes will become
more frequent than ever. Terror and
amaZement have taken hold of the neonle
to such an extent within the past few
months as to become manifest even in
their countenance. Attempts have been
made by officers and soldiers to draw
Christians into quarrel, but have so far
failed. Most Molsem officers have taken
property of Christians and are doing Just
as they please without regard to law or

HUNTINGTON MAKES A PLEA
The Railroad Lobby Still at
Work in Washington
THAT REILLY FUNDING BILL
Sir Rivers Wilson Talks to q Congress.
si0naI Committee
The Pacific Roads Now Want to Pay the
Principal But Are Fighting Against
the Interest Debt

Washington, Feb 19.-Several members
of the House Pacific Railroad Committee
gave hearing today to the representa-
tives of the Union and Central Pacific
roads concerning the proposition that the
Government accept the principal of its
debts in full payment of its claims upon
the roads, Messrs. A. Boissevian and
Victor Morawetz, Charles H. Tweed and
Sir Rivers Wilson appeared for the COM
panies. The conference was entirely in
formal.
Mr.. Tweed stated that the Central
Pacific people had discussed the plan
since the last meeting of the committee,
had considered what their borrowing
power was and had come to the conclu-
sion they could raise the required amount
to pay the principal if they could have
the Government lien as Sc
curity from the parties from whom
they borrowed. The question was
raised by Chairman Reilley what would
be done under this arrangement with
the first mortgage bonds, which fell due
at the same time, and if an extension of
them would not be necessary. Mr.. Tweed
said that the company would be obliged
to borrow from them, although it had no
interest in their disposition of the claim,
as brought up. Then the status of the
sinking fund was destroyed, and COM
mittee members argued that the Govern
ment would not apply it to its debt until
the first debt was settled. Mr.. Tweed
held that the sinking fund belonged to
Government absolutely in any event.
In the course of the discussion Mr..
Morawetz declared that the Union Pacific
must be reorganized, that its continuance
under present conditions was impossible; ;
that it did not ask new charter from
Congress as it could reorganize under state
authority. Mr.. Reilly said there was a
question about its right to do so.
Chairman Reilly proposed to the
representatives of the companies new
plan for the settlement of their
debt which is practically a variation of
the Reilly bill. He proposed that instead
of raising the first mortgage debt and ex-
tending Government debts the companies
should pay the principal of the Govern
ment debt into the treasury; that the in
terest due the Government should be ex-
tended and the first mortgage debt be ex-
tended until the terms of the Reilly bill
to be paid in installments through period
of fifty years with interest at per
cent. The advantage over the pending
bill which this plan presents is that the
Treasury would receive the amount of the
principal of the Government debt instead
of the holders of the first mortgage bonds
being given settlement and the Govern
ment debt principal and interest being
extended.
The representatives of the Union and
the Central Pacific took the suggestion un-
der consideration and will give their
views on it in a few days.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC METHODS
Charging More Than the Traffic Will
Bear in Colorado
A Protest Sent to the Interstate Commerce
Commission by Fuel and Iron
Company.

Pueblo, Col, Feb. 19.-The Colorado
Fuel and Iron. Company of Pueblo, has
forwarded to Washington a petition
to the interstate commerce COM
mission, praying that the rail
roads carrying traffic from Chicago to
the Pacific Coast be compelled to cease
the discrimination in their freight rates
against Denver, Pueblo and other com
mon points.
All OF the Western railroads are made
parties defendant in the petition because
rates are established by the traffic asso-
Citations, but the complaint is really di-
rected against the Southern Pacific, which
is the road alleged to be insisting upon
the discrimination complained of. The
discrimination, it is claimed by
the petitioner, absolutely prohibits
the trade. This is claimed to be
apparent from the fact that steel rails
produced here by the complaining COM
pany can be laid down at San Francisco
from English furnaces, duty and manu-
featuring cost paid, for less money than
the freight tariff from Colorado to San
Francisco.
The Southern Pacific Railway Company
takes the position, according to the Fuel
and Iron Company, that "the factor fix
ing the standard of the value of the car
riage service to San Francisco is the com
petition by water from the Atlantic to the
Pacific seaboard, and that the further
it goes away from the Atlantic seaboard
into the interior of the western country
the higher the rate may be.
Al. ,lr 1a,1
to the petitioner that the less service per-
formed the greater the compensation
shall be and in this way they dis
criminate against Western manufacturers
and attempt to do away with natural
laws of trade and natural advantages of
location. The grievance of the fuel and
iron company is shared to a large extent
by Western manufacturers and jobbers.
