The erratic course of the stock natur-

story was that the insiders had parted

to the effect that the Mollenhauer re-

canoe of this statement lies III the tact
that the Mollenhauer company is out

The general list. ruled rather weak

TURKISH TROUBLES.

Letter from the Eminent English
man to The Editor of the Paris
Figaro.

LONDON, Sept. 2S.-The Chronicle
publishes a long letter from Mr.. Glad
Stone, addressed TO NJ Maurice Lau-
det Of the Paris Figaro. The letter
was written in response to an appeal
made by NJ. Laudet to Mr. Gladstone
TO arouse the English press in behalf
OF the Armenians. Mr. Gladstone. af-
ter expressing his diffidence in. comply
ing with the request, declares his be-
lief that the population of Great
Britain are more united in sentiment
and more thoroughly reused by the
present outrages in Turkey than they
were by the atrocities In Bulgaria. in

Mr.. Gladstone proceeds to denpunce

whether, but when and where. he wiz

ploits. The question for Europe and
each power is whether he shall be
permitted to swell by more myriads the
tremendous total of his victims"
The letter concludes by expressing
the hope that French people will pur-
sue a policy worthy of their greatness,
their fame. and the high place they
have held in European Christian his

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 23-Dr. Wood
the pastor Of the First Baptist church
On Commonwealth avenue has received
the following letter in regard to the
Chinese situation, from William Ash
more. Mr. Ashmore is well known in
Boston, and has been a missionary to
China for over thirty years. He is a
STUDENT of politics as well as religious
matters. The letter is dated Swatow.
August 30:
Dear Mr.. Wood-Never in all our
MISSIONARY experience in Asia, have
signs been SO portentous as at present.
l am not exaggera ting when l say all
ASIA is IN breakup. The map of the
contlnen6 will be materially made over
THIS winter. The coalition between Rus
sla ana France is a menace to human
freedom. 1t is a black cloud, overshad-
owing the pathway of progress. We
are literally aStounded at the signs of
foreign activity as fall comes on. The
advance made by Russia. is upsetting
all political calculations. Already COM
mon people among the Chinese are be-
ginning to grasp the critical situation.
Up north the officials. many of them,
say openly that the nation has already
been sold to Russia by their chief rul-
ers. Down south there exists an I'M
ceasing dread of the French Russia
sllcing off the north and France slicing
OH the south, and where will it stop,
they ask. Where is England mean
while? In all this century. in all Asiat-
lc history, there has been no such re-
vulsion as has taken place in the last
two years. Beyond question England
has lost UNNECESSARILY. Her diplomats
out here seem palsied. Sir Claude Don
aid, the new minister, does not seem
to be doing anything. English officials
throughout the country are timid and
without definite and vigorous policy
at present. Is the old empire going to
pieces? you ask. I am afraid it is.
There is no room here to specify the
proofs

still existing certain irregularities dur

THE THIEVES OF TODAY.

I may be in error. but in my
humble judgment he who would
rob a man OF his necessary
food or pollute the spring at
which he quenches his thirst,
or steal away from him his
accustomed rest. or condemn
his mind to the gloomy night
of ignorance, is no more an
enemy of his race than the
man who, deaf to the entrea-
ties of the poor and blind to
the suffering he would cause.
