WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Miss Clara
Barton, president, and the other off,
, GERS of the Red Cross society, have
completed their detailed reports of the
Armenian relief expedition to Asia
Minor last winter. Among other things
the report says that notwithstanding
: all that haA been done through all
agencies, infinitely more remains to be
done by some one, For between the
Archipelago and the Caspian seas, the
Black and the Mediterranean, "she says,
-'are to-day living 100000 people of
the Armenian race, existing under the
e ordinance of at least standardization
and protesting the religion of Jesus
Christ According to the stated es.
Inmates of intelligent and impartial
observers from 100000 to 100000 of
these persons, men, women and chill.

fire. food, medicines, the comforts that
tend to make human life preservable,
or any means of obtaining them, save
through the charitable beneficence of

such outside support at least $4,000 of

NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.-A Sun special
from Montreal, Can, Gays: The mili-
tary preparations going on here in
Canada are of character to prove
that England is not making ready
merely for the defense of Canada
against possible attack by the fleets
or armies of any European power orr
combination of powers. They are Of
such nature that 1t is every day more
evident that England is creating in
Canada a great place of arms against
the American republic So little atten-
tion is given by the American press to
Canada that the inwardness of
the policy pursued by the party that
has been in power here for over 30
years that it may come as surprise to
them to learn that it is seriously be-
lieved here that not only can Canada
hold her own against the United
States with the help of England, but
that it is only question of time as TO
when large part of the New England
states and portion of the state of
New York will be asked for admission
into the Canadian confederation.

than $2,5OO,O00 Chairman Hanna had

An International Conference Desired tn
Fix Uniform Price.
WASHINGTON, Nov. GA conference
of nations on the subject Of the worlds
wheat market is understood to be de-
sired by at least one of the great for
.eign wheat-prowing empires. 1t is
stated in official circles here that Rus
&, sia is partially friendly to such an idea,
and is believed to be making overtures,
mot only to the United States, but to
England, the Argentine Republic and
Australia, which are the principal
wheat-growing nations Of the world.
The idea is that these nations, should
they see fit to unite in an agreement
upon the subject, could fix price for
wheat, to be maintained uniformly
through various seasons of over-pro-
,duction and unsatisfactory crops
caused by drought or continued rain,
and thus make the principal grain
staple upon which the millions of con-
sumers depend for food almost as un-
changeable in value as gold itself has

ALBANY, N. Y. Nov. 20.-In his an
nual address to the clergymen of his
diocese, Episcopal Bishop Doane said
it was idle to declaim against the
customs of society, such as novel read
ing. theater going, card playing. wine
drinking. He thought that these details
should be settled by individual
consciences and observed that what
was good for one might be bad for an.
other. He said that the Bible con.
tanned no specific instructions about
minor matters of the kind, and that
for his part he considered q person
who could overcome temptation
stronger than one who habituany
avoided it.

summary of reports received from 200
railway companies and manufacturers

the effect on business up to date of
Mr.. McKinley's election. These show
t at though the railway business has
not picked up at all, but in parts of
the west and southwest has been even
distinctly worse since election than it
was before, the railway companies as
a whole have materially increased their
expenditures, especially in increases
of shop forces and 3 very general ten
dency to purchase more freely. This
last fact is shown more conclusively
by the reports from manufacturers
than from the reports of the companies
themselves.

INDIANS MAKING PROGRESS.

Recent Elections Favorably Commented o.
"A Congressional Delegate Proposed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Good effects
from the recent elections in the Chick
asaw and Choctaw nations in the In.
dian territory, which resulted favor
ably to the friends of allotment, Are
predicted in the annual report made TO
the Indian bureau by Agent Wisdom,
in charge Of Union agency. The agent
says many people Of the Indian terri.
tory, both citizens and non-citizens,
now advocate the election of dele.
gate to congress who could explain ex-
isting conditions and secure remedial
legislation. The report arraigns the
action of past congresses in the follow
ing conclusion:
Notoriously. much Of the legislation In behalf
Of the Indian country has been controlled by
members Of congress from the states on its
borders, and 1t is not saying too much to state
that selfish interests have swayed some Of said
members and such legislation has been enacted
that rather promoted the interests OF them-
selves or their friends than the Indians whom
they ostensibly Propose to benefit. The con-
gress, as whole, either does not understand
the Indian question or is Indifferent to It, and
hence much Of the legislation affecting this
country is practically in tho hands Of q few
men who are not always wise In their day and
generation The election of q delegate would
be much cheaper and more economical fortAe
Indians themselves and would not reQufhe
them to send from each tribe large delegations
to secure such legislation as they think they
need and to prevent such legislation as they
do not want It is anomalous that 10000 peo-
people should live In republican governments
without representation in our national forum"
