London. Sept. 12.-Henry Asquith, for
merly secretary OF state for the home
department. has addressed the following
: message 10 The Chronicle: II shall
shortly address my constituents, when l
shall express my views at length, but
am In entire accord with the conviction
that the time has come when Great
Britain should refuse 10 hold further
terms with government which has be-
come mere instrument for executing
the purposes Of a will either criminal or
insane. The European powers, by whose
favor the sultan holds his throne, cannot
condone his pact crimes or ignore future
dangers without sharing the guilt of the
one and becoming directly responsible
for the other. ! hope we shall witness
ouch manifestation OF opinion here as
viii save Great Britain from any such
completely. and will give strength and
authority 10 decided action on the part
OF our government" .
The Chronicle, in an editorial, ap-
plauds Mr. Asquiths strong message.
as In every way worthy responsible
statesman.
Mr.. Gladstone, In another letter on the
same subject. declares: THE use which
the six powers have made OF remon-
STRANGE In the past has not been mere
failure or mcckery. but a great instru-
nent Of mischief, because II has implied
tnat such , matter can be disposed OF
by discussion, and has thereby supplied
wholesale and deliberate murder with
the only assistance IL wanted, namely.
the assurance Of impunlty. In my judg-
ment, even silence would be preferable
to such discussion"
The Daily News UiberaD, comments
Ing editorially upon Mr.. Gladstone's let
ter. says: The first necessity Of Euro
pean peace is the deposition of the sui
tan.
The Chronicle and The Daily News,
and other newspapers, have such head
ings over the articles on this subject as
"A Nation Aroused" etc. They publish
columns OF accounts Of meetings. pro-
tests OF public bodies and churches and
OF influential men, and also an appeal
from Frances Willard to the 10000
Women's Christian Temperance unions OF
the United States and Canada TO raise
their voices against the massacre of the
Armenians.
y dispatch from Constantlnople to The
Daily News says An official communi-
cation TO the newspapers has caused a
sensation. IL contemplates the certainty
of Armenian risings in the provinces,
but holds all officials responsible IL mat
ters develope into massacre pilage or
obstruction OF property. At the same
time, the soldiers are authorized TO use
their arms IN self-defense against all
who attack them This IS the first time
that an official communication has men
toned the massacres and pillge. Turk
ish placards in Tamboul call upon the
government to pay the salaries of OFF,
cials. or otherwise they threaten TO help
themselves.

s2OO,OOo,OOo FOR wARsHIPs.
IL Said to BE Authorized to Make Con-
tracts with Builders.

In conversation with man who ought
TO- know, "a reporter was told the other day
that Ii Hung Chang has in his possession
an authorization from the emperor ~
China TO make contracts with shipbuilders
for new navy, and that his majesty has
decided to expend $500, 600, 900 for war
ships, not all at once, but gradually.
Among the firms mentioned as having al
ready talked business with Ii Is that Of
Cramp & Sons of Philadelphia.
Before III Hung Chang left China"
said tho reporters informant, he was en-
powered to make contra/s for battleships
to cost 5000, ,000,00 OF course this vast
amount is not 10 be sps sHt all at once, nor
in great sums but gradually.
Sin pursuance of this authority Ii has
consulted not only with railroad capital
ists but with English and American ship
builders. Representatives Of the Cramps
have had several consultations with him,
and the real object of his visit To Philadel-
phia was TO continue his researches In that
direction.
whether England or America will get
the lions share of the contracts remains
TO be seen, but 1t appears from the inter-
views that Ii has had with admiralty law
yers since he came 10 New York that tho
United States is considered favorably at
present by the ambassador. Among the
admiralty lawyers with whom Ii has had
consultations is Commander Kent of tho
naval reserve.

Before he left China Ii Hung Chang

with the expected boom TO follow the

that discretion will be found the better

is that the market is near the top for the

GENERAL PALMER's BIRTHPLACE
House. Originally Built Of Logs. Where
tho Presidential Candidate Was Horn.

The old log cabin In which John NJ Palm
er was born Is still standing. IL Is situ-
atcd IL miles north of Georgetown, Ky,
about 400 yards to the right OF the Lcxing-
ton and Covington pike. Tho original
house was a story and half high and was
a square log pen. Many years ago the
wing, which Is lower than the original
structure, was added, and an "L" extends
back about 30 feet.
The house was built more than 100 years
ago by "a man named Slaughter, who sold
IL about the beginning of this century To
William Palmer, father Of the presidential

81, another schoolmatc Of the presidential

where General Palmer was born. He Is
half brother Of Polly Cobb the great grand
mother of William Jennings Bryan. He
remembers General Palmer as rather n
thin, delicate boy, who was great favor-
lite with their stern old teacher, Major
Brnt, because he studied hard and always
stood well in bis classes. William Palmer

Continuing. Mr. Cowen said: There Is no

for the collateral trust loan Intended TO take

capital for the needs OF the company have
progressed very favorably up TO the present
point, and neither the members OF the syn
any reason why they should not be COM

regarding Mr.. Little's report are unfounded.
as Mr.. Little merely confirms the statements
made In the report of the company's ac-
counting officers Feb. /. Mr.. I.ittle's exam
ination confirms that report, both as to the
amount OF the Indebtedness and as 10 the
condition of the property. The alarming
statements as to this report untrue. as
they show nothing as 10 the floating debt

was intended for the purpose OF satisfying
the syndicate TO the correctness OF the
accounts of Feb. l."
