An Armenian Tale Of Woe,

BosToN, May "A letter from
Smyrna, Western Turkey, says the
Armenian relief funds are dimin-
ishing with the number OF the des-
titute increasing. From every
center, with the exception OF Van,
where relief work is being carried
on, comes the story of the increas-
ing NUM- Der of destitute, who look
upon this source OF relief as the
last and only means Of sustaining
life. 1t Is feared by many that
famine and pestilence will be ine-
vitable during the approaching
summer months.
As to the threatened renewal
of massacres, says the writer, the
recent trouble at Kilio was Of
sufficiently serious nature to excite
the greatest apprehension. Reports
Of the number of Armenians killed
vary from one hundred to two
hundred, while the number wound
ed is said to be "some hundreds"

John Bull Hot All Around.

NEW YORK, May "A dispatch
to the Herald from London says
The unground resentment and ex-
element against the emperor of
Germany is very much like the
feeling which existed in France in
1870 against Bismarck. Making
all due allowances for national
temperament the insults one hears
daily hurled at the German emper-
or surpasses tenfold anything you
read in print. You get an idea
OF what the feeling is when you
note that how even men in the re-
sponsible positions Of minister of
state constantly state that they
will not tolerate any foreign in
reference at any cost. 1t Is France
and the candidature of the Hohen-
zollern prince In Spain over again,
and / fear the same blindness
with regard to the real state OF az
fairs.
Yesterday the permanent secre-
tary Of an ambassador told your
correspondent that the English
will achieve what has been deemed
impossible-the reconciliation of
France and Germsny-and this at
their own expense. One day it is
"the treachery Of Russia" next the
"intrigues of Germany, next the
"machination OF the Beers" and
lastly "wickedness Of Turks" and
amid all this Mr.. Cham berlain,
who in the sentence admits that In
international matters the Beers
are their own masters, yet pro-
ceeds to say that their government
is corrup, ETC., whereas by the law
of nations the home government of
the Beers Is no more the concern
Of the English than that of Dakota.
The relations between the En-
glish and German royal families
are very bad. Prince Henry of
Russia was here the other day. He
put up at hotel and left his card
for the prince Of Wales when he
was out.

Tinplate Manufacturers Homeless.

WASHINGTON, May "A tale OF
ruin, impending over the tinplate
manufacturers in Wales, is told in
report to the state department
by United States Consul Howells,
at Cardiff. The operators find
themselves helpless and have dis
solved their board of control, while
the Tinplaters' union finds it i'm
possible to keep the men in line
and there Is no uniformity in
wages. The American market is
felt to be hopelessly lost and the
greatest depression Is felt. OF the
49l tinplate mills in the district
253 are idle, while 81 are being run
on a 10 per cent reduction in wages,
40 at 12t per cent, VI at 10 per cent,
6 at 90 per cent and 5 at 20 per cent
reduction.
There are now twice as many
mills as are needed, and while 1900
men were out OF employment in
March the number has now quar-
drupled.

Students Rioting.

DELAWARE, Ohio, May 2.-The
students of the Ohio Wesleyan
University went on a grand strike
last night at chapel time. One
thousand students gathered at the
chapel and then deliberately
walked away. Some students
overstepped the bounds Of reason
and battered down the signs of
merchants as they passed along
the streets, in the line OF march.
The cause of the strike is said to
be that the faculty have disap-
pointed the College Glee club re-
garding a long western tour prom
ised them.

Cantnred Filibusters in a Fix.

NEW York, May "A dispatch
to the Herald from Havana says:
Consul General Williams has not
vet obtained q list Of the five pri-
soners captured on the American
schooner Competitor.
Laborde and Milton are Ameri-
can citizens. Laborde wrote a
letter to Mr.. Williams asking him
to come and see him but neither
Williams nor LabOrde's lawyer
have as yet gained access to him.
The prisoners are at the arsenal
undergoing examination before the
Judge OF instruction preliminary
to a summary naval court martial.
The whole proceedings will last
more than one or two months.
Under the treaty American citi-
zens caught with arms in their
hands are entitled to be represent
ed by counsel.
The Spanish authorities say the
Competitor was ordered to show
her colors and that it had no flag.
Her papers had been thrown over
board. The question OF piracy
may be raised; otherwise the pris-
oners are ordinary prisoners of
war.
Six OF the party were shot by the
marines Of the Mensajero. One OF
the killed is said to have been
Quesado.
According to a list found on the
Competitor there were 43 members
of the expedition. Two who were
captured are on their way to Ha-
vans. This makes seven prisoners
in all.
The Spaniards found a printed
proclamation to the people of Cuba
signed Laborde. The other men,
bers OF the expedition escaped.

THE SHAFTS CHARACTER.
A Revolution May Follow His Assassi-
nation,

udLOut
CHICAGO, May 2.-Frederick H.
Winston, who spent the year Of
1886 at Teheran as United States
minister to Persia, speaks in terms
of admiration OF the murdered
monarch.
"The death of the shah is to be
deplored," Mr.. Winston said. she
was kind.hearted, intelligent and
filled with progressive ideas that
would have benefited this country
immensely had he been permitted
to carry them out. He assembled
the throne when a boy with the
limited education in mathematics
and Persian literature gained In
the native schools and possessed OF
the ideas and barbaric notions
gained from lack of contact with
civilization, it being an unwritten
law in Persia that the heir apparent
should not live at the capital city.
After taking the throne his
character changed and he develop
ed into a civilized ruler, anxious to
improve his country"
Mr.. Winston described the shah
as very exclusive in his family
life, always dining alone at the
palace and never deviating from
the customs of his court in the
management of his household.
The shah's ruling passion, Mr..
Winston said, was hunting. To
crafty his love for this form of
sport the shah maintained large
game preserves, where he visited
every summer.
Speaking OF the succession to the
vacant throne Mr.. Winston ex-
pressed the belief that a revolu-
tion was among the possibilities
for Persia. The oldest son is not
the heir apparent, owing to the
fact that his mother was not OF
royal blood.
"This son." Mr.. Winston said, ais
about "a years old and very popu-
lar among the army officers. He
is highly educated, a man Of
boundless ambition and great en-
ergy and is imbued thoroughly
with ideas as progressive as his
fathers were. For years he has
been close observer Of foreign sf-
fairs and has special agents trav-
cling all over the world to aid him
in keeping posted on the worlds
progress. Not knowing the cir
cumstances under which the as
sassination took place / am not
justified, perhaps, in predicting
any trouble OF a revolutionary sort,
but / cannot help to apprehend
something Of the kind when re-
member the oldest sons charac-
teristics. His headquarters are
about two days journey from Tehe-
ran, and il he should choose to move
on the capital with the army be-
hind him he could reach there a
week before the heir apparent
could reach the scene."
