HORRIBLE STORY AGAIN TOLD
An Armenian Refugee Tells Of the Mas
sacre in Marsovan.

An Armenian Refugee Tells of the Mas
sacre in Marsovan.
New York, March 25.-Mharim Dali
majian, an Armenian refugee who re-
Gently escaped from Turkey and has
just arrived here, said last night:
'The massacre in Marsovan occurred
November last. The first thing done
on the morning of the massacre was to
put guard of Turkish soldiers around
the American college. This was to
protect the college from attack. Two
or three houses in the town in which
the naturalized American citizens lived
were also guarded. The Turkish SOL
diers began by killing in cold blood all
the Armenians whom they found in
the market. They did this partly with
guns, partly with bayonets and partly
with hatchets.
"Then they killed all the Armenians
whom they found in the streets. They
did not, however, enter any Armenian
houses, except four, where several
women were assaulted and killed.
meanwhile each of the five mosques
in the town had a Turk crying out
every few minutes that the Armenians
were sacking the mosques and killing
the Turks. This added greatly to the
public excitement and added the Turk
ish populace to the soldiery.
"Over 1000 persons were killed in
all the massacres in Marsovan. 1t was
freely acknowledged by the soldiers
that the Armenians were killed by di.
rect orders from Constantinople. There
are altogether 100000 Armenians
under Turkish dominion and if they
remain under that rule for ten years
longer they will be exterminated or
converted to Mohammedanism.
Between $1,000 and 40, 900 Armen
ians have been massacred up to the
present time. The governor of the dis
trict is now busy arresting all the
young Armenian men whom the SOL
diers or police find in the streets. The
result of this massacre is that all the
young men are keeping in the houses
and sending out the old men to buy
food -

"cRlME OF A CENTURY,"
Supreme Court Decides the PLAY Should
Not Have Been stopped.

Supreme Court Decides the PLAY Should
Not Have Been stopped.
San Francisco, March 26.-The su-
preme court has decided that Judge
Murphy erred in restraining w. R.
Daily from producing his play, THE
Crime of Century" during the Dur.
rant trial. The court declares that it
was an unwarranted interference with
the right of speech guaranteed by the
constitution, and orders the annul.
ment of the order.
1.-THE Crime of Century" was q
play based on the story of the Durrant
murders, and Daily attempted to pro-
duce it at one of the local theaters
while the Durrant trial was in progress.
Judge Murphy ordered the play
stopped, and threatened to send the
manager and actors to Jail for con-
tempt if they persisted in producing
the play. The supreme court says:
sit is entirely clear that the court
had no jurisdiction to make the order,
for such an order was an attempted in
fringement upon the rights guaranteed
to every citizen by that section OF the
constitution which says: Every citi'
zen may freely speak, write and pub
lish his sentiments, being responsible
for the abuse of that right, and no law
shall be passed to restrain or abridge
the liberty of speech or of the press.
It is patent that this right cannot be
abused until it is exercised, and before
it is exercised there can be no RESPONSE
bility."
The order of the court was in effect
one commanding the petitioner not to
commit contempt of court, and such a
practice is novel in the extreme.

MAJOR M'KINLEY,s REPLY.

Major Mckinley was officially notified
of his nomination yesterday, and in his
speech of acceptance indicated briefly his
ideas of the issues to be paramount in
the coming campaign. The two questions
which he specially dwelt uron were those
OF the tariff and the currency. He gives
the precedence to the tariff, partly, per
haps, because that is mentioned first in
the platform, and PARTLY and perhaps
chiefly because that in his estimation, is
the more important of the two. Mr.
Mckinley views are SO we'll known on
that que stion that it is hardly necessary
to more than allude 10 them. Protec-
ton supplemented by reciprocity sums
up in a few words his ideas of the policy
that should underlie the tariff TO pro-
mote the best interests of the American
people. He believes that with IL tariff
furnishing adequate revenue all the
trouble with the gold reserve will disap-
pear, and borrowing to replenish that re-
serve will become unnecessary MIR. Nc
kinley says he is in full accord with the
platform, and that means of course every
part Of the platform. Hence the currency
plank meets his unqualified approval. AS
Tint plank is thoroughly satisfactory to
the friends of the gold standard Major
McKinley's cordial endorsement of il
must go far to render him equally salts
factory to them as candidate. BY his
words deliberately spoken, he has CON-
mitted himself to their ideas of what ou1
currency should be and this is all that he
can do.
1t is perhaps useless at the present time
TO predict which of the two yiews-the
tariff or the curIencF-will be the lead.
ing issue of the campaign. That will be

party it will make little difference, fol
Its position on both of shem is sound
The wage earners, who constitute tht
great mass of the people, need protection
and they need none the less sound cur

Their interest lies in the attainment O
both of these things, and the Republican
party promises its best efforts to secure
