FREEDOMS DOOR BARRED
TO ARMENIAN REFUGEES ESCAPED
 FROM THE GREAT ASSASSIN.

To Compel Them to Return to Turkey
 Might Mean Consigning Them to an Aw-

 Them-Their Efforts May Prove of Avail
 Security Offered the Government.
 New York, Oct 22.-Mrs Sarah B. Fessenden of the Massachusetts State board of the w. c. T. U., visited Ellis Island to-day, and told Dr. Tanner commissioner of immigration, that she had been authorized by responsible property owners of her state to offer bonds for 100 of the refugee Armenians now held by the immigration authori- ties of this port as paupers. She said also that she would be responsible for the Armenians as far as the obtaining of work was concerned. Dr. Senner is rather inclined to consider her proposi- tion seriously, and will hold the Arme- nions until Mrs. Fessenden returns from Boston With her proffered securi- ty.
 The Salvationists have not given up their fight for the refuges. On Tuesday next in Carnegie hall a meeting will be held by the Salvation army for the purpose of presenting the facts of the question. pr. Senner said tonight, al- though the condition of the Armenians was pitiable, it was his duty to observe strictly the letter of the law. On the steamship California, which arrived to- night from Hamburg, there are said to be 1S0 more Armenians, who fled from brutailties In Turkey.
 London, Oct. 22.-Miss Frances Will lard has issued statement regarding the Armenian refugees who have been sent by Lady Henry Somerset from Marseilles, some of whom have been refused admission to the United States by the immigration authorities. Miss Willard says that she and Lady Henry Somerset have carefully studied the laws and say that they had been made for the purpose of protecting the Am erican workingmen from an influx of cheap workingmen imported by con tractors. It seemed the law would be compiled with if it were clear the refugees were not sent under contract and If the United States were secured against their becoming a public charge.
 Tn response to a cable dispatch sent to the United States Miss Willard was informed it was not necessary that the refugees have a specific sum of money as prerequisite to their admission into the country and that the security against immigrants becoming public charge was reported in special cases. Miss Willard cabled, therefore, to mem bers of the w. c. T. U., living adja- cent to New York, asking them to pro- vide homes for from twenty-five to thirty Armenians until they found work. She received replies promising places for twenty.

OUR INTERESTS IN SAMOA,
Now Nearly Equal Those of Great Britain
 in the Islands.

San Francisco, Oct. 22.-Advices from Apia, Samoa, dated October z, say that Chief Justice Ide has rendered a de- cision in favor of the plaintiffs in the case of Neylan and Hobbs of San Fran cisco versus Harris, ct al. of New Zea- land for possession of the property commonly called the Polynesian is lands of Samoa. The total claim amounted to $662, ,5S2. The defendants were given until November to pay the amount, but it is not believed they will do so. Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion that Americas private in- terests in Samoa will shortly be in- creased by the ownership of 22.0O0 acres of land, which will nearly equal those of Great Britain in these islands

ANOTHER OPULISTIC FAKE. Chairman Butler Wants Only "CooI. Game
 Men on Guard.'

Washington, Oct. 22.-Senator Butler, chairman of the populist national com mitee, is said to be about to issue cir cuIar advising the supporters of MT. Bryan to keep "every eye open and to place cool, game men on guard" to watch and expose a game which he says the republicans are contemplating in the middle west and which he de- scribes as follows:
 "The plan revealed is for so much money to be put into the hands of township and ward managers and so much to be given for specified repub- lican gain. It has been found impossi- ble to buy enough individual votes to carry the election and the plan fore casted is to be the one. Instead of the voter the poll itself is to be tempered with Our information is that the plans have already begun in Ohio.'
 Chairman Butler has not yet found MT. Watson's Letter of acceptance.

A Catholic Organ Criticises His Recent Po-
 liticaI Utterance.


 Chicago, Oct 22.-In it's last issue the New World, the official organ of the Catholics in Chicago and the northern section of Illinois takes issue with Archbishop Ireland. Taking the arch bishop at his word, the paper consid- CTS his utterances as that of a private citizen and calls attention to the fact of his connection with the republican par ty and says his manifesto is "to be regarded precisely as one of Major Mo- Kinley's speeches at Canton"
 The New World then dissects the archbishop's letter and opposes it's ar guments at great length. The New World is edited by William Dillon, a brother of John Dillon, the famous Irish statesman. Until this issue the paper occupied a neutral position on the silver question.

 thetic Letter Protesting His Innocence.
 London, Oct 22.-The following letter from Walter M. Castle was received by James R. Roosevelt, secretary of the United States embassy this afternoon:
 Dear Sir-These lines, expressive of my gratitude, should have been in your possession long ere this, but dur ing the past two weeks my mental strain has been such as to completely unbalance me. thus incapacitating me from giving expression to any feelings in writing. The most difficult task of my life is to frame words which can even in the smallest degree express my feelings of heartfelt gratitude for the
 disinterested kindness which has been
 showered upon me by the honorable
 gentlemen of the American embassy and by a seemingly unlimited number of friends in London and America, who
 have flocked to my assistance, and to whom I owe debt of gratitude which
 cannot be liquidated in the course Of a life time
 "The more think of the loving care with which I have been watched over and protected during these days of
 misfortune, the less can l comprehend how it is possible that a man compara- lively unknown and thousands of miles away from his birth place and home can
 awaken such an avalanche of symDa- thy and can secure the disinterested support and friendship of such a large
 number of prominent men of both
 great nations
 q have no words that can sufficient ly thank the gentlemen of the embassy and each and every one of my kind friends for their truly wonderful de- votion to me and mine during this l dread ordeal My only claim to this kind protection is that l have never committed a dishonorable action in my past life, or in the present instance, or with the help of the Almighty will ever 1 do aught different in the future" | The Clerkewell Sessions, to which MT. | and Mrs. Castle were committed for l trial, at their hearing last Tuesday,
 will begin November and their case | will be brought up within fortnight 1 thereafter Sir Edward Clarke, Q. C., l M F., formerly solicitor general, the foremost criminal lawyer in England,
 has been retained to conduct the de- | fence.

The Topeka Advocate in speaking
Of the wholesale consolidation of
Western counties, proposed by repre-
sentative Ury (rep) Of Bourbon says
Economy Is good thing if proper :
ly applied. 1t IS probably true that
county exrences would be reduced by
consolidation. But what would it
cost taxpayers to get to the county
seat to transact business? The exper-
fence of Phillips and ether counties
shows that it is not safe plan to pay
to an agent. 1t is always better to
pay direct to the Treasurer and get
his receipt. Taxpayers will not be sat
isfied with any other plan. Litigants
would be made bankrupt with the ex-
pense of getting into court. Mileage
would pile up at an astounding rate.
Then it is probable that endless legal
complications would result in the ad-
justment and satisfaction of the pre-
sent bonded debts of the counties.
County officers would be so far remov-
from the people they would have little
opportunity to make their acquaint-
auce OF be informed as to their official
conduct. 1t is also likely that useless
and tiresOme county seat fights would
be precipitated and in the end cOndi-
tions would be vastly worse than now" ="

OUARTERING RESTERN
KANSAS.

The proposition has been advanced
that number of western Kansas
counties should be consolidated, and
MIR. Knute Ury a recently risen
statesman from Fort Scott, announces
that he will introduce a bill to con-
solidate the western third of the state
into four counties. Such u measure
is uncalled fol and unjust. Mr.. Ury
says it would be economical The ex-
act opposite would be the result.
The increase in court expenses con-
sequent to long mileage, the varied in
terests which would have to be protect
ed. would not lessen the taxation re-
quired for county purposes. The
new counties would have to assume the
bond Indebtedness of the old ones and
this would make the taxpayers of tie
economical counties pay the debt of
the extravagant.
County government reaches close to
luulNiuudio duu , Couuey 40 1@A60 e'o 40
contemplated by Mr.. Ury's plan would
be absurd. There would be just as
much reason for him to introduce a
measure to consolidate the counties of
the Second congressional district on
the score of convenience and economy
The people of western Kansas know
what they want. They understand
the needs and requirements of their
part OF the state better than the new
statesman from Bourbon. They are
the people Of interest, and their wish
es are the only correct guide to action.
II they are opposed to the proposed
consolidation, and they are, it is GER
tainly unjust to force it upon them.
If we mistake not Mr.. Ury repre-
sents district which openly and no.
toriously violates the laws OF the
state. Mr.. Ury had better consolidate
his own county with some law abiding
community and pick "a few beams out
of his own eye. Mr.. Ury had better
keep his seat aud not expose his un-
derwear. Western Kansas is alright
Her representatives i'll legislature will
be in much better position to present
legislation affecting her interests than
Mr.. Ury or any other man from the
Missouri line.-tIutchinson News.
