APPEAL TO THE POWERS.
United States Senate Wants Them t
Carry Out Their Pledges,

Carry Out Their Pledges.
Washington, jan. 25.-The concur-
rent resolution reported1iast Wednes.
day from the committee on foreign re
lations on the subject 81 the Armenian
outrages was taken up in the senate
Friday and was passed after highly
interesting discussion. Senator Gull
lom (rep., Ill.), who had reported it,
opened the debate and described the oc-
currences In Turkey as massacre of
innocents, unparalleled for ages" He
said that the English government had a
Greet obligation resting on It to protect
the Armenians, but nothing had been
done " =it,gnor by anysof the other
powers, looking TO the enforcement
st their treaty obliga tio1ls beyond mere
diplomat tic correspondence betwcen
them and the sultan. Ithad Therefore
seemed to the committee on foreign re-
lations that itscould do nothing. less
than appeal to. the powers to carry
e ut their pledges, as It did int hescon-
current resolutions. AS TO the right
of the United States to protect it's own
citizens everywhere, no orders were
asked from any nation on earth. He
knew nothing which had happened in
the world for centuries that moro
called for interference than these
slaughters of Armenian Christians.
Senator Blanchard (dem., La.) thought
that the resolution did not go farenough
and intimated that the committee on
foreign relations had been slow in it's
report.
The committee was defended by Sen.
ator Frye (rep., Me.), who made avery
fiery speech against the sultan, and
against the European governments
which had not interfered Ito protect
the @Armenians:8 He said that If he had
his way, the American congress would
memorabilia Russia to take possession
of the Armenian provinces, and would
inform her that the United States would
stand behind her in doing so. And he
declared that if it were necessary to
protect American citizens and their
property in Turkey, he would order
United States ships of war, in spite OF
forts, and in spite of agreements as
to@ the closing of the Dardanclles,s to
place themselves before Constantinople
and to give that protection to which
American citizens tire entitled.
The concurrent resolution was passed
without a division and now goes to the
house. It expresses the earnest hope
that European concert may speedily be
given its just effect in such decisive
measures as shall stay the hand oil
fanaticism and lawless violence and
shall secure the rights of the unof.
