VICTIMS OF TURKS
BLUE BOOk ON THE ARMENIAN AZ.
FAIR PUBLISHED IN ENGLAND
1t Shows That the Armenians Were
Not To HlaMe for the Trouble. and
That the Turkish Government
did Not Attempt to Stop the Mas.
sacres-The Number of Killed
Said to be Greatly Exaggerated.

London, Jan. :O.-Blur Books have
been issued containing all the official
dispatches relative to Armenia he
tween July ~. 1884. and Oct. 16, 1885,
and the reports of the consular dele.
gates attached to the SaSsOlln COM
mission.
The report gives the history of the
Armenian agitation for several years
the way OF the commission by the
Turkish delegates. 1t also acquits tho
ArmenianS of the charge brought
against them of burning their own
property to incite an outbreak among
their people, adding that the facts elic-
tied failed to prove that the .Arlne-
mans were in revolt, hut shows that
the agitator. Murad, instigatcd several
Armenian outrages upon the Kurds.
The latter then retaliatcd, and the
Armcnians fled to their villages. The
conflicts between the Armenians and
Kurds followed, and the government
did nothing to arrive at Il peaceful set
tlenlent or to protect women aud chill
dren.
The delegates are compelled to be-
lieve, the report says, that I'LL the Ar
menians who fell into the hands of the
soldiers, the ulall<s or the Zaptiehs,
were either killed or wounded. aud
that. with the exception of the eleven
villagers of ralOrim. not single pris-
oner was taken. The report shows
that the number of killed has been
grossly exaggerated. but the report nd
mits that. owing to the absence Of reg
istration. 1t is impossible even to ap-
proXimately fix the number of victims.
There is appended. however. to the re-
port tabn'ate,l list of all the evil
dencc rendered to the commission. The
six vallages mentioned show total of
2G5 victims.

CAN CONDEMN.

Supreme Court Decision as to the
Right of the Government
Washington. Jan. D.-.Justice Peck
ham. the new me nbcr OF the United
States supreme curt, delivered his
first opinion in that court to-day. The
opinion was in the case involving the
right Of the government to condemn
the real estate of the Gettysburg Elec-
trio Railway company. as part of the
national park located on the Gcttys-
burg battle ground. The court below
had decided that the act OF congress
authorizing the establishment of the
park. in so far as it applied to the
condemnation of private property, was
unconstitutional. and that there was
70 right under 1t to condemn. Justice
Peckham's decision reversed this. de-
Gliding the law to be valid and sustain
Ing the condemnation proceedings. The
Gaze is an important one. as It extends
considerably the authority of the gen.
eril government in condemnat ton pro-
ceet1iDgS.

about 100 men. mostly Spaniards. Il
cannon and several hundred pounds of
ammunition. 1t was intimated that

caused her seams to open. and she be-
gan to fill rapidly. Signals of distress

To-day the report was received from
Norfolk that the cruiser Montgomery,
Of Admiral Runce's fleet. lying in
Hampton Roads, passed out the capes
at 1870 O'Clock last night. She was
followed by the Raleigh. which left at
1905 O'Clock. From the fact that some
of the officers of the cruisers have not
yet Joined their ships, it ia evident
that the outside cruise will not be of

missed that the cruisers will look for
