THE ARMENIAN QUESTION.

The people of Chicago have adopted
the most practical way of disposing of
the Armenian question by bringing them
to the United States and colonizing them
in the western irrigation districts. This
movement, however, need not and should
not be charitable affair. A syndicate
should be formed with sufficient means to
bring those people over and to locate
them in their new homes and give them a
start. Then build reservoirs for them
and allow them time in which to refund
all moneys that may be advanced for
their benefit. This they can do in very
few years. There are in New Mexico
several million acres of land that can be
utilized for colonies of farmers and stock
raisers. Land that at present is q ute worth
I less will become valuable the moment
water is put on it. 1t will at once be worth
from 1875 an acre upwards. Besides To-
eating the Armenians on good lands they
should be supplied with sheep, goats and
cattle on shares. During the last few
years immense numbers of sheep and cat
tie have been taken out of the territory
and there never was more prOpitions
time in which to commence to restock
the country than the present. Owing to
the copious rains of last year there is
pasture all over the country for several
years even if there should be but very lit
tie rain during the next two years. This
territory is peculiarly fitted for sheep
raising and there is now room for many
millions of them. The Armenians could
be supplied with sheep on shares as per
the old custom in New Mexico. The syn
dictate would have to buy the sheep for
about $3.50 per head and the Armenians
would hold them for nun Der of years
taking care of them and giving to the
syndicate two pounds of wool for each
sheep per year. In a few years many
wooden mills would be started in different
parts of the territory and employment
would be found for all the new corners.
This is the way in which the old settlers
of New Mexico made their fortunes at a
time when they we're surrounded on all
sides by numerous tribes of savage In.
dams. At this time of profound peace
there are no risks to be run. The bust
ness is paying one from the very start.
An increase Of IS per cent can be relied
upon. The sheep will yield from five to
seven pounds of wool each year. If this
plan is adopted, in very few years the
poor people who are now being so merci-
lessly prosecuted will be happy and pros
porous citizens of the United States. In
a movement of this magnitude it is we'll
to move slowly. Bring only enough peo-
pie at time as there is land ready to re-
ceive them and by careful selection they
will soon be self supporting.

IT WENT UP IN SMOKE
TONASKET INDIAN SCHOOL ON COL
VILE RESERVATION.
Blaze Started in the Bath House
Seventy-One Children Turned
Out In the Cold.

Tonasket Indian School. Colville Reser-
walton, Dec. 4.-The Tonasket Indian
school building was burned here at u
o'clock noon yesterday. There were Il
pupils at the school. None were seriously
hurt.
The fire originated in the bath house,
where the laundress was drying clothes.
The building being a frame structure,
and dry, burned to the ground in 80 min
utes. There was no opportunity to put
cut the fire, as the flames were under
such Roadway Immediately after they
were discovered that it was impossible to
arrest them.
The children were taken TO the store
house and cared for under serious diff
culties, as there was no stove pipe in the
vicinity to put up a stove at once. The
weather was cold, and many suffered
from it. In a short time Superintendent
Henry Hanke, with the assistance of Mr..
Shut and Mr.. Morrison, made a pipe.
and two stoves We're put in the building.
While the pupils suffered from snow and
cold, no serious damage was DONE Great
credit is due to Mr.. Morrison, Mr.. Brown,
who was passing with his team, Mrs.
Hanke, the matron and Mrs Lahem for
the active part they took in rendering
assistance in making the children as COM
Portable as possible and for the assist
superintendent.
The Tonasket school was located on the
Okanogan river, near EnOs creek about 40
miles above the Okanogan's junction
with the Columbia. 1t was large build
ing, containing two wings. In addition to
the dormitories. 1t contained a dining
hall and class rooms. 1t was built to ac-
oommodate $50 pupils, besides the teach
ers, physician, druggist and other officers.
A few years ago the building was re-
modelled and fitted with all modern con-
veniences. One of the features of the
school that commended itself especially
TO the people living in that sparsely set
tied region was the apothecary depart
ment and the physician in charge At
times they have been of infinite benefit.
The school was named for Tonasket.

VIEWS OF PROMINENT cuBANs
Presidents Message Unsatisfactory
to Both Sides.

New York. Dec THE World will pub
lish the following interviews tomorrow en-
the views of prominent Cubans on the
presidents message
Piedel Perot of the iunta-The MESA ge
is an enigma and a puzzle. l should have
a far higher regard for Mr.. Cleveland had
ne simply announced that the United
States was opposed to the cause of Cuban
liberty and sympathized with SPANS ef-
Tort to crush the revolution. The message
Will not make a particle of difference one
way or the other. so far as the revolution
is concerned. If the soldiers of Gomez
and Maceo realize that the measure means
that the United States will not raise fin
ger TO stop Weyler's butcheries, they will
nght with more terrible energy born Of
despair For us now there are now left
only the two Observation-Disclosures
or determination.
Manuel A. Recio de Morales resigned
my position as leader OF the reformst
party. which is similar in it's aims to the
autonomist because l became convinced
'hat absolute independence is all that can
save Cuba.
DR.. Henry O. sayas - The presidents
message is decidedly unsatisfactory to
both sides. The Cubans have a right to
expect more, but the consolation remains
that he treats Spain with the scorn which
she deserves for her weak and cruel rule.
Dr. Rafael Navarro of the Cuban sani-
tary corps-Cleveland does not say any
thing in his message. He does not mean
to say anything. My hope is in congress.
Mrs. Carlos Manuel Cespedes, widow of
the president Of Cuba during the last war
Perhaps Cleveland is really more friend
~ TO Cuba than his message would indi-
cate. From motives of policy, perhaps, he
has RETAINED from expressing the sympa-
thy he really feels.
Delegate Estrada Palma and Joaquin
Castillo declined to be interviewed. but
declared through their secretaries tnat
they would issue an official statement
within a short time.

TAMMANY BRAVES TURNED OUT.
An olive branch Extended TO the
Boilers.

New York, Dec mot for years has
there been so large an attendance at a
monthly meeting of the Tammany society
as there was tonight. Richard Croker was
the attraction ana he was greeted entau-
siastically.
1t is reported that on his return from
England Mr.. Croker frowned upon the
suggestion to discipline Bourke Cochran
ana other members of the society who
had bolted the Chicago ticket This is the
language Mr.. Croker is reported to have
used:
A municipal campaign must not be
Fought on national issues. To win, we
must have the aid Of all our friends. Keep
the doors of Tammany wide open; let us
only try to control local politics and not
mems consciences."
The death of Colonel John r. Fellows,
TOT many years a member of the society,
AFFORDED an opportunity to extend the
owe branch to the boilers, and Thomas
+. Grady presented a tribute to the dead,
which was spread upon the records.
Inc sentiment of the meeting was
strongly conciliatory of the seeding dem
Ocrats.

latter reduction was made possible by
the system Of payment by check inau-
gurated this year. There was, he said,
no attempt at legislation in the bill.
Mr.. Grow on Revenue.
Mr. Grow, republican, of Pennsylvania,
ex-speaker of the house, took advantage
Of the latitude allowed in debate on an
appropriation bill to attack that portion
of Mr.. Clevelands message relating 10
the effects from a revenue standpoint
of the enactment of the present law. The
deficit for the first years life of the law
was $25, 600 0O0 for the second $40 900 600,
and for the first five months of this year
%OOOO,OOO. Yet, he said, the president had
not seen fit, with these large deficits, to
recommend any measure for revenue in
crease The necessity for revenue, he
argued, could not be denied in the face
of the figures submitted by the president
himself. 1t was, he declared purely d
business question. He showed that i'm
portations were increasing and the rev.
enues decreasing.
1t indicated, he said a lack of business
capacity in the imposition of duties.
Mr.. Grow received a round of applause
from the republican side when he con-
cluded. When the bill was taken up I'M
der the five-minute rule, Mr. Connolly
republican, of Illinois, offered an amend
ment to the provision requiring examin-
ing physicians to state specifically the
rating the applicant for pension is en-
titled to- in their judgment so as to
make the rating fixed by the examining
board binding in the pension office if any
pension should be allowed
The amendment was ruled out on the
point of order. Without amendment the
bill was passed
