Armenian Atrocities.

Two English blue books have been
published relating to the so-called
Armenian massacres. They prove,
even in the abstract cabled over, very
edifying reading. Had they been pub
lished before Senator Frye's resolu
lions were adopted it is possible that
Congress would have hesitated before
displaying its deplorable ignorance on
Armenian conditions.
The blue books. which contain the
official reports of British Consuls, show
clearly what vast amount of lying
has been perpetrated upon the Eng
lish speaking world by the Armenian
committees in England and in this
country. A bureau of Armenian atroc-
lty inventions has flooded the country
| for months with reports that would
have done credit to the most renown-
ed circulation affidavit professors.
There is no lack of sympathy
throughout the United States for the
suffering Armenian Christians. Amer
lea would gladly join heart and soul ih
relieving the terrible distress that pre-
walls there, but the well-springs of gen
erosity have been stopped by the men
who have so far forgotten decency as
to stoop to the most despicable means
of misleading public opinion.
The English blue books do not deny
that fearful atrocities were committed,
but the blame for them is placed on
the revolutionary agencies which be-
gan them, and which, under shelter
themselves, have Sc persistently en-
deavored to force Europe into active
interference in behalf of the Armenian
people There was no crime in the
calendar they did not charge to Kurd
or Turk, while they themselves began
the fearful work.

In a Trance.

Physicians and the people in general
of the Marengo, N. Y, vicinity have
| been giving much attention to a
strange affiiction of Miss Hattie Bene-
dict. the 10 year old daughter of Elisha
Benedict, we'll known farmer.
Miss Benedict four months ago fell
asleep, or rather lapsed into catalep-
tic trance, and did not awake for five
weeks, except at long intervals, when
she was conscious for only few
minutes at a time. Once during this
period. when she awoke, her mother
hurried to get her some food, but be-
| lore she could prepare it the girl sank
back into a trance.
| At the end of five weeks she awoke
with an acute pain at the base of the
brain, but her faculties were in no
way impaired, and her general health
| appeared good, excepting the symptoms
stated.
Five weeks ago she fell into another
| trance. which still continues. Her vital
functions appear to be reduced to the
| lowest point; digestion being at a stand
still. Her muscles are rigid, but her
| heart beats and she breathes regularly.
Durlng her present trance her heart
mas shifted three times by muscular
contraction to the right side, but this
does not appear to have affected its
, functions.
1t is thought that she is hazily con-
sclous OF her surroundings during these
| frances, because, when she awoke from
| the former, she had vague recollections
OF what had happened by her bedside.
1t IS believed by her physicians that
these attacks are due to scarlatinal
poisoning during her infancy.

GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN
Speaker Reeds Astonishing POliteness
Made the Ladies Wonder.

Made the Ladies Wonder.
WASHINGTON, Feb. General Gre
dence is not given to the story OF the
remark attributed to George Washing
ton that he would not be outdone in
politeness by a negro" Nevertheless,
it is a story that goes, and it evidently
has been taken to heart by Mr.. Thomas
B. Reed. One day last week MIR. Reed
was sauntering along a fashionable
uptown street during calling hours
while ladies we're alighting in droves
from their carriages. Two colored
brothers. decidedly the worse looking
for wear and belonging to the faction
which, by casting from ten to twenty
five votes apiece, recently secured the
election of Reed delegate from this
District to the national republican
convention, were hanging around,
watching the scene. As Mr.. Reed was
passing they tugged at the battered
remnants of hats surrounding their
pates and said: "How do. Mr.. speak
err" Instantly the hand of the Speak
er was elevated, his hat was removed
clean from his head. his body was bent
forward in bow deep and profound,
and the habitual cynical smile which
plays around his lips melted into one
of extreme cordislity as he replied
Good morning, gentlemen" And the
ladies looked on and wondered.

THOSE NRDDLEsomE ARMEN1,


THOSE MEDpLEsoME ARMENIAN
REsoLUgTpNs.-The State Department
seems to be in somewhat of guam
Diary to know just how to get those re-
markable Armenian resolutions to the
signatory Powers of the Berlin Treaty
without committing diplomatic
blunder or making this government
appear in a ridiculous light. This is
not surprising in view of the fact that
the resolutions are designed to serve
official notice on those Powers that
either they do not know their business
or are not attending to it.
The report from Washington that
the resolutions may be quietly
''shelved" suggests the most sensible
way out of the awkward position in
which the jingoism Of Congress has
put the President and Secretary Olney.
That will at least save the government
from the absurdity of meddling with
foreign affairs which do not concern it
and from officially demanding the pre-
cipitate enforcement of treaty to
which the United States is not part !
and which in no way affects America =
rights or interests.-N. Y. Herald.

AS all well-informed, unprecedented
men know that the Armenian troubles
are caused by an insurrectionary com
mittee outside of Armenia, who stir up
connections and strife and bloodshed
there. in order to induce foreign gov
ernments to interfere in the affairs of
Turkey. and as no citizen of this coun-
try has been killed in any of the dis
turbances there, and as the Turkish
government has promised to recon-
pense all such citizens whose property
has been injured, by either the Turks
or the Armenians, the President would
be fully justified in refusing to sign
the Armenian resolutions recently
passed without opposition by both
houses of Congress. This government
