toned left New York in August. and
he said that it was quite clear that they
We're supplied with money sent 10 this

and then securing men in London or

Liverpool, Sept 24.-Enthusiastic
crowds of people assembled at an early
hour this morning in the vicinity of Hen
gler's circus, all anxious to push into
the building and hear the eagerly-antici-
pated address which William +. Glad
stone had announced his willingness to
make before the meeting called by the
Reform club to protest against the re-
cent massacres of Armenians at Con-
stantinopie and elsewhere i'll Turkey.
When Mr.. Gladstone rose to speak he
looked well and hearty for man of his
years of hard work. He bowed repeat
cheering which greeted him. When he
was able to make himself heard Mr..
Gladstone. after few preliminary re-
marks. moved the following resolution,
which was received with thunders of APP
plause:
That this meeting trusts that her ma
jesty's ministers, realizing to the fullest
extent the terrible condition in which their
fellow Christians are placed, will do every
thing possible to obtain for them full secur-
her majesty's ministers that they may rely
upon the cordial support of the citizens Of
Liverpool in whatever steps they may feel
are necessary to take for that purpose.
Mr.. Gladstone also sa1d eve have
just title to threaten Turkey with
coercion that does not in itself mean
war. and / think that the first step
should be the recall of our ambassador
(Cheers.) And it should be followed by
the dismissal of the Turkish ambassa-
dor from London. Such course is
frequent and would not give the right
of complaint to anybody. When diplo-
matte relations are suspended, England
should inform the Sultan that she would
consider the means of enforcing her just
and humane demands. | do not believe
that Europe will make war to ensure the
continuance of massacres more terrible
than ever recorded in the dismal. de-
plorable history of human crime" cloud
